Chapter 558

Consequently, the Fatui were reorganized, with all members preparing for cultivation.

Fontaine is even more outrageous, with two elders and Furina, whom the Sect Master thinks very highly of.

The speed at which Fontaine is becoming stronger even surpasses Snezhnaya, chasing closely after Venti.

In these few days, Kujou Sara has already seen at least thirty master-level experts within Shushan Village, all from Fontaine.

In Shushan, everything is based on strength, and if a force affiliated with Shushan wants to develop.

Then the person they are affiliated with must have status.

With Ei becoming the First Seat of Wind-Returning Peak today, starting tomorrow, the problems in Inazuma can be temporarily suppressed.

Ei doesn't even need to take action.

There are plenty of people willing to solve the problems for her.

Do not underestimate the title of Shushan First Seat; Ningguang and the others don't mind helping Inazuma to build a good relationship with a First Seat.

Thinking of this, Kujou Sara and the others looked at Ei with full expectation, eagerly hoping she would agree quickly.

But Ei hesitated for a moment and shook her head.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, I do not wish to hold the position of First Seat of Wind-Returning Peak."

This shocked everyone; Zhongli opened his eyes slightly and looked at Ei.

In a trance, he seemed to see his former self.

Only, he was afraid of misleading his disciples, while Jiang Yan had already explained that she didn't need to take in disciples.

Why did Ei still refuse?

Ei pursed her lips and looked at Lumine.

To be honest, the position of First Seat of Wind-Returning Peak is quite shocking, and Ei also knows that once she becomes a First Seat, the problems in Inazuma will no longer be problems.

What Kujou Sara and the others can think of, she can too.

But...

On the path of cultivation, besides being a First Seat, there seem to be many things worth pursuing.

Besides resurrecting Makoto and the others, there are other things worth Ei risking everything to pursue for herself.

The Way of the Sword!

That supreme Way of the Sword that transcends the scope of understanding!

Inside Makoto's consciousness space, Ei saw for the first time the boundless sword light released by Lumine.

A divine thunder sword full of killing intent and destruction.

But in Ei's eyes, that Way of the Sword was so fascinating, like a traveler dying of thirst in the desert seeing an oasis.

That is a Way of the Sword with vitality that transcends life's imagination and transcends the laws.

If she could also possess that kind of Way of the Sword, Ei would have no regrets even in death.

Besides fighting for Makoto, her lifelong desire is to reach the extreme in the Way of the Sword.

Once, after swinging the Musou no Hitotachi, Ei felt that she had reached the limit of this world.

But Lumine's appearance told her.

The Musou no Hitotachi was actually so small, and the Teyvat world was actually so unbearable.

A vast world, carrying only a corner of her Way of the Sword.

At that moment, facing the Divine Sword Art of Thunder, Ei felt that if she could die under such a Way of the Sword, it would be perfect.

At the very least, before dying, she knew that there were infinite paths ahead for the Way of the Sword.

She was just like a child who had just learned to hold a sword.

Lumine was already like this, and the Divine Sword Art of Thunder was only a simplified version.

Then what about Jiang Yan?

He sat cross-legged on a cushion, looking plain, but in Ei's eyes, he was a bladeless sword exposed in the air.

The edge of this sword could not be seen, but precisely because of that, it appeared terrifying.

You don't know how high he is, nor do you know how sharp he is.

All you can see is the hilt.

Above, it can split the starry sea and re-divide the earth, fire, wind, and water; below, it can cut grass and trees without breaking them.

The supreme realm of the Way of the Sword is not that nothing cannot be cut, but that nothing can be cut, yet nothing cannot be cut.

Dust, grass, trees, ants, humans, Archons, worlds, starry seas, universes...

All are under the sword.

Ei is willing to pay with her life to pursue such swordsmanship.

Her Way of the Sword has just begun, how can she stop here?

She is unwilling, and she is reluctant.

Shushan is also known as the Sword Sect, and the extreme of the sword lies in Heaven-Reaching Peak.

Ei's gaze was burning and hot, staring straight at Jiang Yan, and after a moment, she bowed and said:

"Reporting to the Sect Master!"

"Ei does not wish to become the First Seat of Wind-Returning Peak."

"Ei is single-mindedly seeking the sword, and only wants to go further and further on the Way of the Sword."

"I want to join Heaven-Reaching Peak to practice the Way of the Sword, even if it is only as an ordinary disciple, I am willing!"

"The Way of the Sword is the only dream I pursue besides resurrecting my sister and the others."

370. Acting First Seat of Wind-Returning Peak, takes office!

Looking at Ei's persistent gaze, Miko sighed.

She knew it would be like this.

Back when Makoto and the others were still around, Ei was obsessed with the sword.

Her talent also allowed her to pursue the extreme of the Way of the Sword.

Now, having seen Lumine's Divine Sword Art of Thunder, it would be strange if Ei wasn't eager.

But...

That's not how you say it!

The seven branches of Shushan are of the same breath and branch; saying it like this, isn't it slapping the face of Wind-Returning Peak?

What?

Are ordinary disciples of Heaven-Reaching Peak more fragrant than the position of First Seat of Wind-Returning Peak?

Glancing at Cloud Retainer and the others, sure enough, the faces of Cloud Retainer and the usually good-tempered Ping were a bit dark.

Disciples of the seven branches of Shushan all take pride in Shushan; this is for the outside world.

But internally, because of the existence of the Seven Branch Martial Arts Competition, the sense of honor of the disciples of each peak for their own peak is quite high.

Cloud Retainer and Ping had stayed at Wind-Returning Peak for so long, and when the First Seat hadn't returned, they acted as agents for all affairs of Wind-Returning Peak.

In their eyes, Wind-Returning Peak is their second home and their eternal belonging in the future.

Now, Ei saying this in front of them, isn't it slapping the face of Wind-Returning Peak?

Fortunately, Ei is not really a blockhead; she quickly reacted, looked at Cloud Retainer and Ping with an apologetic look, and said softly:

"I don't think Wind-Returning Peak is inferior to Heaven-Reaching Peak; Miko also told me that the seven branches of Shushan are equal, and all seven branches have their own capabilities."

"It's just that what I pursue most is the supreme Way of the Sword."

"This is the dream I, as the individual Raiden Ei, pursue the most."

"Miko told me that Shushan is also known as the Shushan Sword Sect, and the Way of the Sword in the world takes Shushan as the first, and the Shushan Way of the Sword takes Heaven-Reaching Peak as the best."

"If you want to go further on the Way of the Sword, the best choice is Heaven-Reaching Peak."

Ei looked at Jiang Yan with burning eyes.

Whether it was the Divine Sword Art of Thunder that Lumine used before, or the Heavenly Sword Art that Jiang Yan just said he was prepared to teach Lumine.

Ei wanted to learn them all.

Perhaps, after learning them, her Musou no Hitotachi would also become stronger.

And, although it's not good to say this, is Heaven-Reaching Peak really not special, just like the other seven branches?

After all, Heaven-Reaching Peak is personally controlled by Jiang Yan.

The disciples within it are all top-tier geniuses; why are all three major divine bodies of Shushan at Heaven-Reaching Peak?

The special constitutions of the disciples of Heaven-Reaching Peak are also the most numerous among the seven branches of Shushan, right?
