Chapter 609

Ei would not allow the Shogun to waste her talent, but the Investiture of the Gods was indeed something that had to be obtained.

"Is a True God of National Fortune very strong?"

Ei looked toward Miko, who replied with a beaming smile:

"Furina of Fontaine practices the Son of Heaven Investiture Art; this technique has some origins with the Investiture of the Gods."

"Once Furina reaches the peak of Refining Essence into Qi, with Fontaine's national fortune, she can alter the physique of all Fontaine citizens. Do you think a True God of National Fortune is strong?"

Seeing Ei remain silent, Miko continued:

"Although a True God of National Fortune is a god, their combat power is no weaker than a cultivator of the same rank. In other words, as long as one deity at the peak of Refining Essence into Qi is invested..."

"They would be stronger than even you."

"Just as I said, in history, the strongest dynasty invested three hundred and sixty-five powerhouses at the Refining Qi into Spirit stage."

"At its peak, it controlled one hundred and twenty Small Thousand Worlds, with over ten billion archers and a trillion citizens."

"The master of that dynasty cultivated the Dao and became an immortal at Shushan, and in the Upper Realm, they also established a dynasty that was affiliated with Shushan."

Hearing this, Ei had no more doubts.

"With Inazuma's national fortune, how many deities can we invest?"

After pondering for a moment, Miko shook her head.

"Roughly, one hundred at the early stage of Refining Essence into Qi is the limit. If only one is invested, they could probably reach the middle stage of Refining Essence into Qi."

"Inazuma's national fortune is too weak."

Ei's expression darkened, but then Miko added:

"However, there are other ways. National fortune is related to territory. Shushan controls immeasurable worlds; just now, there are the Nine Nether Secret Realm and the Xuanming World."

"The Xuanming World is, after all, a Middle Thousand World."

"Although it is fraught with crises, if Inazuma can take root in the Xuanming World and expand its territory, the power of the Investiture of the Gods will be even stronger."

"As national fortune grows stronger, Inazuma will have favorable weather and a peaceful, prosperous country."

"The Xuanming World is also a world that others are eyeing. If it weren't too dangerous, people would have been stationed there already."

Ei was somewhat hesitant.

"The Xuanming World is Shushan's property, how can we..."

"The Sect Master has said that Shushan controls countless worlds, even Great Thousand Worlds."

"To Shushan, these worlds are resource reserve areas and also areas for disciples to train."

"The cultivation resources within these worlds are what the Sect Master values; so-called national territory is of no consequence."

"As long as the occupied land is affiliated with Shushan, it is still Shushan's people."

"As for this point, it surely won't be a problem. After all, you will all be Shushan disciples; your things are Shushan's things."

Ei had no more concerns and nodded heavily.

"I understand. The Investiture of the Gods and the God-Beating Whip will be our most important goals moving forward."

"It's just that ten million contribution points..."

Miko shook her head.

"Even if it's only ten million, this number is not something we can hope for."

"The wealthiest, Lady Ningguang and Seeing Zhongli, combined only have two million contribution points."

"Therefore, everyone has placed their hopes on the Nine Nether Secret Realm Exploration Assembly."

"If one can obtain enough treasures, one can exchange them for enough contribution points. The contribution points for a single one of the Nine Nether Seven Kings are already ten million."

"However, you cannot deal with the Nine Nether Seven Kings. Currently, apart from the Sect Master, only Seeing Zhongli has a chance."

"Others cannot withstand a single move if they encounter them."

"In the world of immortal cultivation, strength is ultimately what speaks."

Ei's eyes were somewhat dazed, and she clenched her fists.

"I will work hard to cultivate!"

"On this point, I believe in you."

Miko chuckled softly.

"However, a cultivator's cultivation is measured in hundreds or thousands of years. In a short time, without major opportunities, it cannot be done."

"Therefore, the Nine Nether Secret Realm is your opportunity."

"The Nine Nether Secret Realm is extremely dangerous, but it also has countless treasures. With your strength, entering to explore is also dangerous."

Ei interrupted Miko.

"Even if it is dangerous, I must go."

"I know."

Miko nodded slightly.

"Therefore, try to team up with others. The only ones who have been to the Nine Nether Secret Realm are those who first joined Shushan."

"After joining Shushan, find a way to contact them and act together."

"You don't recognize spiritual herbs or spiritual ores either; following everyone to act together will yield more for you."

"These few days, try to maintain combat; don't let your blade grow dull."

Having said that, Miko glanced at the red figure walking over from afar and chuckled softly:

"Go, the person coming to pick you up is here. I won't delay any longer. Remember what I said, Ei."

Ei nodded, watched Miko fly away on her sword, and whispered:

"You be careful..."

"I know."

Miko nodded slightly and left directly on her sword.

Chi Lian, who had rushed over from not far away, looked at that large group of figures and was somewhat curious.

Today she received news that Shushan Village was getting another batch of pre-selected cultivators and asked her to make contact.

It looked like there were quite a few people.

It's just that the figure at the very front seemed somewhat familiar...

While Chi Lian was puzzled, Ei turned around to look at Chi Lian.

The latter was stunned for a moment and exclaimed:

"Mei? You came too?!"

364. Miko and Xiao undergo the tribulation; Shushan adds two more at the Refining Qi into Spirit stage.

"What?"

Ei asked suspiciously. Chi Lian stared at her intently for a moment and said somewhat awkwardly:

"Sorry, I mistook you for someone else. You look very much like an old friend of mine."

"Hello, I am Chi Lian, from the Honkai world."

Ei nodded slightly and said softly:

"I am Raiden Ei. Just call me Ei. I am the second-generation ruler of Inazuma, the Raiden Shogun."

Chi Lian's expression became increasingly strange.

Raiden Shogun...

Ei?

Mei also seemed to be a Valkyrie with lightning attributes.

So...

This Raiden Shogun must also be very good at cooking, right?

Although somewhat curious, Chi Lian still chuckled softly:

"You just arrived at Shushan Village, right? I'll take you for a tour. Speaking of which, what happened at Shushan just now?"

Ei walked to Chi Lian's side and said softly:

"Seeing Zhongli, who went to the Demon-Locking Tower, has returned, but he was seriously injured and almost perished. Shushan is currently under martial law, arranging for people to guard the front of the Demon-Locking Tower."

"Seeing Zhongli... if I remember correctly, he should be the strongest in Shushan after the Sect Master, right? He almost died?"

Chi Lian was somewhat surprised and also somewhat worried:

"How is he now?"

"He's fine now. Miss Ganyu saved him with the medicinal pills left by the Sect Master. He was ambushed by a demonic cultivator inside the Demon-Locking Tower." ===== CHAPTER 610 =====
