Chapter 411: Dan Feng vs. Imbibitor Lunae, Teyvat: It's on fire!
[Arataki Itto: There are two Brother Dan Hengs?!]
[Kuki Shinobu: You big dummy, Luo Feng already said it. Although those two look similar, only one is Dan Heng, the other is the will of the Dragon Lord, Imbibitor Lunae.]
[Tartaglia: Dan Heng and the past Dragon Lord's will are going to duel? I can actually see this scene?]
[Mountain Shaper: Is this a battle against the inner demon?]
[Charlotte: Battling the inner demon? Is that a Liyue saying? If he fails, it shouldn't have any impact, right?]
[Yanfei: Battling the inner demon is no small matter. If successful, there are great benefits, but if he fails, a person's state of mind can be greatly affected.]
[Mountain Shaper: If successful, the sea is vast and the sky is high for birds to fly. But if he fails... I have seen many people fall into madness after being defeated by their inner demons.]
[Xiangling: Oh no, then isn't Dan Heng in danger?]
[Xiangling: And clearly, Luo Feng only wanted to use the Remembrance Bubble to draw out Dan Heng's past, why did this happen?]
[Yelan: After all, the Remembrance to be drawn out is Dan Heng's past life's Remembrance, so it's understandable that some special things would happen.]
[Navia: On the way to Scalegorge Waterscape, Luo Feng didn't trade memories with Dan Heng like he did with Blade, perhaps he anticipated this.]
"How long do you plan to run?"
Dan Feng pointed the tip of his spear at Dan Heng's neck and asked coldly.
Dan Heng looked at the person in front of him in surprise and remained silent for a long time before finally speaking.
Dan Heng: "I don't belong here."
Dan Feng: "Don't belong here? Then where do you belong?"
Dan Heng: "The current me is a Trailblazer."
Dan Feng: "Hmph! Although the Star Sea is vast, it has nothing to do with you. The Dragon Lord's inheritance continues forever.
Like the constancy of the Ancient Sea, it is unmoving for generations."
Dan Heng frowned tightly and said, "That is your past!"
Dan Feng: "No, as the reincarnation of the Dragon Lord, you are my reflection. Past life's sins are repaid in this life."
Hearing this, Dan Heng gritted his teeth and suddenly summoned his spear, sweeping away the spear that Dan Feng pointed at his neck.The powerful force caused the two to slightly distance themselves.
"If you violate the clan rules and break the inheritance."
"You will be eternally extinguished, unable to find liberation."
Dan Feng's expression was serious, and he used the clear water to transform into spears attacking Dan Heng.
Seeing this, Dan Heng, although wielding the spear in his hand to block, rushed directly in front of Dan Feng.
But Dan Feng just lightly waved his right hand and blocked Dan Heng's spear with the energy of the Lotus Stance.
"Prisoner Dan Heng, acting willfully, shall receive eternal punishment."
The clear water under Dan Feng's feet surged, dragging him into the air.Then, he lightly raised his hand upwards, and green tides like monstrous waves appeared around him, directly surrounding Dan Heng.
Behind Dan Feng, within the tides, the figure of a giant dragon faintly reappeared.
"You have nowhere to escape."
Dan Feng waved his hand forward, and the giant dragon behind him finally appeared, directly engulfing Dan Heng, who was momentarily careless.
At that moment, Dan Heng seemed to have fallen into the bottomless sea, his body constantly falling downwards.
[Dehya: No, it can't be, Dan Heng was defeated?]
[Dori: This seems a bit bad. Dan Heng's Remembrance projection was swept into the seabed by Dan Feng's Remembrance projection, and Dan Heng's physical body is also covered in cold sweat.]
[Mountain Shaper: If he loses at this time, it won't be good for Dan Heng.]
[La Signora: But since Luo Feng mentioned to March 7th earlier that she could trust Dan Heng, then Dan Heng should be fine.]
[Dehya: That's right, since Luo Feng said so, Dan Heng will definitely be able to turn the tide and win. Wait, why is there suddenly General Jing Yuan's voice? Did General Jing Yuan come to the Astral Express again?]
[Rosaria: It's not that General Jing Yuan came here, these voices should be what the past General Jing Yuan said to Dan Feng.]
[Dehya: I see, it's the words of the past General Jing Yuan. Wait, no, besides General Jing Yuan's words, there are other people's words.]
......
Dan Heng's figure continued to fall in the water.
Faintly, a projection of Jing Yuan holding a judgment appeared in the water.
"Prisoner Dan Feng, guilty of ten heinous crimes."
"Considering his past achievements, he shall undergo Scale Rebirth."
"Exiled to the outer realms, never to return for all eternity."
After the words fell, Jing Yuan's projection dissipated.Immediately after, one figure and voice after another appeared in the water.
Jingliu: "Why did you act so willfully…
"Dragon Master: "Hand over the Sea Dragon Secret Art, and the Dragon Masters can spare your life.
"Cloud Knight Soldiers: "Lord Dan Feng, why did you do this?"
Blade: "All of this happened because of you!"
[Kaeya: So, Dan Heng was exiled from the Xianzhou by General Jing Yuan.]
[Dain: That being said, being exiled from the Xianzhou might not be a bad thing for Dan Heng.]
[Dehya: There are also Jingliu and Blade's voices. Are they blaming Dan Feng, or are they blaming Dan Heng?]
[Navia: As for Jingliu, she should be blaming Dan Feng. But Blade, I always feel like he's blaming both Dan Heng and Dan Feng.]
[Diluc: The words of the Dragon Masters and Cloud Knight Soldiers match what the mirages we encountered at the Chi Ming Dragon Palace said earlier. It seems Dan Feng heard these voices during his lifetime.]
[Mountain Shaper: The projected image is getting darker and darker, this is not good for Dan Heng.]
[Xiangling: Immortal, what will happen if the image goes completely dark?]
[Mountain Shaper: Perhaps, Dan Heng will completely sink.]
[Xiangling: Wh… what?!]
[Xinyan: Come on, Brother Dan Heng!]
"Dan Heng…"
March 7th looked at the increasingly dim projection, then at Dan Heng's physical body beside her, which was covered in sweat.
The anxious emotion was felt by everyone present.Just as March 7th was considering whether to violently wake Dan Heng up directly.
The completely darkened tide in the projection suddenly showed some light.
March 7th looked up and was surprised to find that those lights were some bubbles of Remembrance containing the members of the Astral Express.
Because of their appearance, Dan Heng's projection, which had already closed his eyes, also reopened his eyes.
"Starting today, you are a member of the Astral Express."
Himeko said gently.
Behind her, Welt Yang smiled and nodded.
"Dan Heng, I'll leave the rest to you."
March 7th said to Dan Heng with a happy face.
Stelle stood behind March 7th and smiled, waving at Dan Heng.
"Cheer up, Pom-Pom. The Warp is about to begin, Pom-Pom."
Pom-Pom put his hands on his hips and said seriously to Dan Heng.
Buzz!
The overlapping of memories made Dan Heng's spirit shake, and he fully woke up.
Looking at Dan Feng's reflection on the water, Dan Heng swam with all his might, propelling himself towards the surface.
"That's right, you are my past!"
"But you are absolutely not my future!"
Dan Heng rushed out of the water, golden energy bursting from his body.
The tides that trapped him, the water dragons released by Imbibitor Lunae, all exploded, turning into water droplets that fell rapidly.
"I will Trailblaze my own path!"
Dan Heng summoned his spear again and charged towards Imbibitor Lunae.
"Stubborn!"
Imbibitor Lunae snorted coldly, gathered the falling tide from the air, and turned it back into a water dragon to bite at Dan Heng.
This time, however, Dan Heng was unafraid, spinning the spear in his hand as he descended towards the water dragon.
His hidden Dragon Lord form gradually revealed itself.
As the water dragon approached Dan Heng, it seemed to be drawn by the spear in Dan Heng's hand and began to spin around Dan Heng's body.
In just a moment, it had become Dan Heng's own power, charging towards Imbibitor Lunae with Dan Heng.
Under Imbibitor Lunae's astonished gaze, Dan Heng and the water dragon swept past him and landed behind him.
At this point, the water dragon dissipated, turning into raindrops falling to the ground.
Then, sunlight once again enveloped the land, reflecting Dan Heng's state of mind.
"Well then, leave this place. Don't look back."
Imbibitor Lunae sighed and murmured. His body turned into particles of light and slowly dissipated.
Dan Heng was first startled, then a rare gentle smile appeared on his face.
[Arataki Itto: "I will Trailblaze my own path!" That line from Dan Heng was so hype, I'm completely fired up!]
[Lumine: Get hyped, young man! That's right, this is the trailblazers path. Come walk the Path of Trailblaze with me and Trailblaze your own path.]
[Arataki Itto: That's so cool! I also want to become a Path of Trailblaze on the trailblazers path and Trailblaze my own path. How can I possibly do that!!!]
[Arataki Itto: Wait, if I break Inazuma's isolation decree, would that count as Trailblazing a path?]
[Raiden Shogun:...]
[Kujou Sara: Arataki Itto, how dare you say such a thing!]
[Lumine: Uh, you're not wrong about that. But speaking from a general perspective, it's more likely to walk the Path of Trailblaze by going outside the Universe with Luo Feng.]
[Gorou: If I can walk the Path of Trailblaze outside of Teyvat, I can surely also Trailblaze a brand new path for ourselves in Inazuma.]
[Dehya: Anyway, Dan Heng should have defeated his inner demon, right?]
[Cloud Retainer: Indeed, the reappearing sunlight reflects his current state of mind. Clearly, he has walked out of his past inner demon.]
[Kaeya: As expected of Dan Heng, this mental journey is truly inspiring.]
[Tea Master: I've decided, I must include this part of Mr. Dan Heng's mental journey in my storytelling.]
[Venti: Dan Heng's story is also very suitable for a bard to tell. However, it would be even better if we knew more details.]
[Venti: Luo Feng should show us the Remembrance of the High-Cloud Quintet, including Dan Feng, right?]
......
Click!
Hearing the familiar camera sound, Dan Heng opened his eyes with some confusion.
"Yo, you're awake, Dan Heng."
"Come look at the picture I took of you."
"It's rare to see you with such a smile."
March 7th shook the freshly printed photo and said to Dan Heng with a smile.
Dan Heng looked down and saw that the person in March 7th's photo was indeed himself smiling earlier.
"How is it? I took a good shot, didn't I?"
"I accurately captured the sense of relief you felt after figuring things out in the photo, right?"
March 7th smiled.
"Figured things out? Relief?"
Dan Heng looked at March 7th in confusion.
"Let me explain."
"Everyone saw the scene of you fighting the Dragon Lord's will earlier."
"Of course, the Remembrance about the High-Cloud Quintet in your mind has already been stored in this Remembrance bubble."Luo Feng showed Dan Heng the Remembrance bubble in his hand and said.
"So that's it, Luo Feng must have shown everyone."
Dan Heng said.
"After all, you suddenly started fighting the Dragon Lord's will in your consciousness space earlier."
"March 7th, as your companion, was very worried."
While speaking, Luo Feng integrated the Remembrance containing Dan Heng's Remembrance into the Remembrance bubble containing the High-Cloud Quintet's Remembrance of Jing Yuan, Blade, and Jingliu.
"Yeah, yeah, you don't know how bad your face looked all of a sudden earlier."
"Fortunately, you powered up at the end and defeated that guy."
"Right, Stelle?"March 7th made a "Yeah" gesture and said.
Stelle smiled and nodded, saying:
"Let's keep Trailblazing together in the future, Dan Heng."
The corner of Dan Heng's mouth lifted slightly:
"Naturally!"
[Charlotte: Dan Heng, March 7th, and Stelle are really heartwarming together, I wish I could join their ranks and become a member of the Trailblazer.]
[Navia: You just think you'll get more and better news if you join them.]
[Charlotte: Hehehe, you know me so well, Navia.]
[Wriothesley: It's just a shame that becoming a Trailblazer must be quite difficult. After all, it's even hard for us to freely leave the Teyvat Continent.]
[Arataki Itto: You guys are already doing great, it's even hard for us to freely leave Inazuma.][Wriothesley: Uh, my friend is truly pitiable.]
"You've really found some great companions, Dan Heng."
Jing Yuan said.
Looking at the interaction between Dan Heng, Stelle, and March 7th, Jing Yuan felt as if he was seeing the conversations among the High-Cloud Quintet in the past, and his heart was filled with emotion
."Yes, they are all great companions."
Dan Heng nodded heavily.
"Since that's the case, move forward bravely on the path you have chosen."
A smile appeared on Jing Yuan's face.If he had previously fantasized about Dan Heng returning to Xianzhou Luofu.
But after seeing Dan Heng's mental image earlier, he completely abandoned that idea.
Even the Dragon Lord's will couldn't change Dan Heng's mind, so how could he possibly do it?
.......
Chapter 412: Exposing the Mystery of Xianzhou Cang City's Fall, Terrifying the Tivat People
"Thank you."
Dan Heng nodded to Jing Yuan and turned to look in Luo Feng's direction.
"Luo Feng, thank you too."
"If it weren't for your ability."
"I might have taken a while longer to figure things out."Dan Heng said.
"It's nothing."
Luo Feng waved his hand and smiled:
"Even without me, you would have probably figured out the path you should take very quickly."
"But now that you've figured things out, are you still interested in learning about the past and exploring the matters of the High-Cloud Quintet?"
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that."
Hearing this, March 7th looked down at the Remembrance bubble in Luo Feng's hand.
"The memories of the High-Cloud Quintet have been collected to this extent."
"It would be a great pity not to take a look."
"What do you think, Dan Heng, Stelle."
March 7th said.
Dan Heng also fixed his gaze on the Memory Bubble in Luo Feng's hand and gave a slight nod.
"I will no longer be affected by the past."
"Therefore, I will not shy away from understanding the things of the past."
Dan Heng said.
"Me too." Stelle raised her hand and said:
"However, since this is about the memories of the High-Cloud Quintet, there should still be one member of the High-Cloud Quintet whose memories haven't been collected yet, right?"
"Luo Feng, don't you need to go find this last one to trade for memories?"
Hearing this, Jing Yuan, who was nearby, was stunned, and the image of Bai Heng appeared in his mind.
Luo Feng glanced at Jing Yuan and shook his head at Stelle:
"Unfortunately, the difficulty of accomplishing this is exceptionally high."
"Even for you, is it considered difficult?" March 7th walked over in surprise.
Luo Feng nodded and said:
"If you want to know the reason, take a look at the memories of the High-Cloud Quintet contained within this Memory Bubble."
"After watching it, you will understand why I said that."
As he spoke, Luo Feng unfolded the Memory Bubble in his hand for everyone to see.
"Benefactor, can we watch it too?"
Yae Miko walked over and asked curiously.The story of the High-Cloud Quintet is undoubtedly an excellent topic for a novel.
As the head of the Yae Publishing House's novel department, how could Yae Miko miss the opportunity to learn about the High-Cloud Quintet?
"Yes, Your Excellency Luo Feng, we are also curious about the story of the High-Cloud Quintet."
This was Keqing's voice
.Mona: "I... I am too."
Hu Tao: "Let me join in the fun too."
Ningguang: "If it's possible, I would also like to take a look."
Seeing everyone's reaction, Luo Feng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"It seems you are all very interested."
"General Jing Yuan, and Dan Heng, would you mind letting more people see your past?"
Luo Feng asked.
"I don't mind."
Jing Yuan laughed.
After all, when he handed over that part of the memories related to the High-Cloud Quintet to Luo Feng, Jing Yuan had already considered that Luo Feng might display these memories to others.
"Same here."This was Dan Heng's voice."Alright, since the two parties involved here have said so."
"And my purpose in bringing you all along was to let you broaden your horizons."
"The story of the High-Cloud Quintet is indeed an event that can help you learn about many things outside of Teyvat."
"Since that's the case, I will project the contents of the Memory Bubble so you can all appreciate it."
Luo Feng said.
[Tea Master: This is great. As long as I can learn the detailed story of the High-Cloud Quintet, I will definitely be able to write the best storytelling script.]
[Iron Tongue Tian: That's not necessarily true; perhaps the person who writes the best script will be me.]
[Yun Jin: The story of the High-Cloud Quintet must be very suitable for stage performance.]
[Dehya: Regardless, it is a good thing that Your Excellency Luo Feng can project the contents of the Memory Bubble.]
[Navia: Yes, this way, we can all appreciate the demeanor of the High-Cloud Quintet together.]
[Venti: Through the High-Cloud Quintet, perhaps we can also better understand the history of the Xianzhou. After all, the members of the High-Cloud Quintet we have already met are undoubtedly big figures of the Xianzhou.]
[Venti: Or rather, at least they were once big figures of the Xianzhou.]
"By the way, Bailu, can you do me a favor?"
Suddenly, Luo Feng lowered his head and said to Bailu.
"Hmm? What is it?"
Bailu tilted her head in confusion.
"Yukong is in that room right now."
"It's not convenient for her to be left unattended for too long."
"If you can, could I trouble you to go and look after her for me first?"
Luo Feng asked.
Bailu: "Eh, why me?"
Luo Feng: "Because you are the best doctor on the Xianzhou Luofu."
Bailu: "I see, there's no helping it. Since it's your request, I'll agree to it."
Luo Feng nodded with a smile:
"Thank you."
Bailu didn't think too much about Luo Feng asking her to look after Yukong at this time.
Under Luo Feng's guidance, she quickly passed through the space gate opened by Aether Editing and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Cocolia entered the laboratory with exquisite tea and refreshments at Luo Feng's signal.
[Alice: Is it my imagination, or does it feel like Your Excellency Luo Feng is trying to send Bailu away?]
[Charlotte: Send Bailu away? Why is that?]
[Alice: Well, who knows. Perhaps it's just me perceiving it wrong.]
[Kaeya: Could it be that there are too many cruel plot points in the story of the High-Cloud Quintet, so Your Excellency Luo Feng wants to send her away?]
[Jean: If that's the case, it's best to let Klee not watch either.]
[Klee: Eh! Bu-but Klee also wants to learn about the story of the High-Cloud Quintet.]
[Kaeya: Let's wait and see; perhaps Your Excellency Luo Feng had other reasons for letting Young Miss Bailu leave.]
...
"So now, let's begin."
Everything was ready, and Luo Feng turned back to look at everyone.
"To understand the story of the High-Cloud Quintet, let's start by understanding how the five members who make up the High-Cloud Quintet met."
"First, let's start with the former Sword Champion of the Xianzhou, 'Transcendent Flash'."
Luo Feng tossed the Memory Bubble in his hand upward, causing it to float in mid-air.
As Luo Feng activated the Memory Bubble with the power of a Memokeeper, a three-dimensional projection immediately enveloped everyone present.
Everyone felt their vision plunge into darkness for an instant, and when their vision was restored.
The surrounding environment had changed drastically.
The originally clean and tidy Astral Express was no longer there.Instead, there was a Burning land, a dark sky, and people running in all directions.
"Help!"
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
"Someone save me, save me!"
Desolate cries came from all directions.
March 7th, Hu Tao, and the others instinctively wanted to reach out to help the people running past them.
However, their hands could only pass through the people fleeing in all directions, unable to have any substantive effect.
"Right, this is a memory scene from the past; we cannot touch these people."
Hu Tao muttered to herself and looked at the tragic scene ahead.
"Just, is there a war happening here?"
Hu Tao murmured softly.
"As you can see, this is the earliest Remembrance of Jingliu that I obtained."
Luo Feng said, looking ahead.
Everyone followed Luo Feng's gaze and indeed saw a child who looked seventy to eighty percent similar to Jingliu.
"Ma... Master?!"
"Here, could this be Cang City?!"
General Jing Yuan said with a deep frown.
"What, is that Sister Jingliu?!"
Yanqing, who had been silent for a long time, exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this.
It was no wonder Yanqing was so surprised; the Jingliu appearing before them was too different from the Jingliu they had seen previously.
"Everyone has a young age."
"The little girl before you is indeed Jingliu."
"Star Calendar 6300, devourer of worlds luo hu descended upon Xianzhou Cang City, causing great chaos in Cang City!"
"At that time, the still young Jingliu was in her hometown, Cang City."
As Luo Feng spoke, the young Jingliu stood blankly in place, watching the people running everywhere.
As time passed, the shadow in the sky grew larger and larger, and a strange wail descended from above.
Jingliu instinctively raised her head, only to find a giant Planet in the sky, carrying burning mountains and land, continuing to fall towards the ground.
The Cang City People on the long street also witnessed this scene.
In extreme despair, golden vines grew from everyone's mouths and noses.
And when the golden vines covered their entire bodies, these people then rushed towards those who had not yet mutated, bringing despair to more people.As a result, more people quickly turned into monsters.
[Paimon: Mara-Struck! Too... too terrifying, there are so many people who have fallen into Mara-Struck!]
[Lumine: It's just like Resident Evil, the virus constantly spreading to everyone nearby.]
[Alice: Indeed, but this "virus" is not a biological virus like the G-virus in those biohazard stories, but people's extreme despair.]
[Barbeloth: Covered by the emotion of impending death, painful Memories are unconsciously generated.When the emotion reaches a point that Xianzhou cannot bear, Mara-Struck will come knocking.]
[Dr.: What a moving scene, it has allowed me to collect some good data. For the Cloud Knights, those Xianzhou who are not afraid of death, even if they fight to the death, the possibility of falling into Mara-Struck is very small.]
[Dr.: But for the Xianzhou who are ordinary residents, when facing the sudden shadow of death, Mara-Struck is very likely to occur.]
[Dr.: Heh heh, to some extent, these Xianzhou who are not prepared might bring disaster to others, just as they are now constantly bringing disaster to those around them.]
[Dehya: This... this is unavoidable, right? There is a Planet falling from the sky, who could remain calm when facing such a scene?]
[Dehya: After all, why would a star suddenly fall towards the Starseeker? Will Xianzhou Cang City be okay?]
[Dr.: In the history of the Xianzhou Alliance, there are damaged Starseeker, and this Starseeker named Cang City is perhaps one of them.]
[Regrator: Facing that Planet falling from the sky, if there is no existence like General Jing Yuan on Cang City at this time, this Starseeker is indeed difficult to save.]
[Dehya: How can this be, then Miss Jingliu will lose her hometown... Wait, someone who has fallen into Mara-Struck is targeting Miss Jingliu!!!]
[Nilou: Oh no... oh no, Miss Jingliu is still just a child now, how can she deal with those people deeply affected by Mara-Struck?]
[Navia: Is she grabbing the sword next to her? Is Miss Jingliu planning to fight?!]
Just as everyone was about to witness a difficult battle for Jingliu, the projection screen covering everyone suddenly flickered.
By the time the screen stabilized again, the originally desolate land was gone.
Everyone looked closely and found that the originally tragic young Jingliu had changed into clean clothes and was practicing swordsmanship under the guidance of a woman in military attire.
"Huh? What's going on?"
"Why did the screen jump?"
Yanqing blinked, looked at General Jing Yuan in confusion, and then looked at Lord Luo Feng.
"Yeah, yeah, although leaving that oppressive place is a good thing."
"But I still have many questions."
"Was the Planet that fell from the sky destroyed?"
"How did Jingliu escape danger?"
March 7th patted her chest and looked at Luo Feng in confusion.
Dan Heng, Neuvillette, Morax, and others did the same.
"Even if you look at me like that, I can't show you the scene that followed."
"You have met Jingliu, she is already in a half-mad, half-awake state."
"Even she herself has forgotten many things from the past."
"Although my power as a Memokeeper can help her recall a little, this ability is not omnipotent after all."
Luo Feng shrugged and looked at the tiny Jingliu who was constantly practicing with her sword.
"Perhaps, even the current Jingliu herself doesn't know what happened on Cang City in the past."
Luo Feng said.
"That seems to make some sense."
March 7th nodded, looked at the woman in military attire training Jingliu, and said:
"But I guess this woman must have saved Jingliu."
"After all, someone who can still be remembered by Jingliu now must be very close to her."
"Perhaps, this person was Jingliu's Master when she was a child."
Upon hearing this, Keqing, Baizhu, and others couldn't help but nod.
Especially Keqing, after seeing Jingliu's cultivation method, her eyes widened, afraid of missing any opportunity to learn.
Not only Keqing, but also some Teyvat People who use swords sat up straight and watched Jingliu's sword practice method carefully.
......
Chapter 413: The One Who Activated the Planet, Abundance Emissary Shuhuo!
[Lumine: Sitting up straight, secretly learning sword moves!]
[Prince: The sword practice method of the former Sword Master of Xianzhou Luofu, it's worth watching.]
[Dehya: Although the current Jingliu is far from as powerful as she is now, it is precisely because of this that we can understand some things.]
[Xingqiu: Indeed, if I can thoroughly study Jingliu's current sword practice method, my swordsmanship can also grow significantly.]
[Tartaglia: I wonder if the Memories of Jingliu collected by Luo Feng include all of Jingliu's sword practice Memories. If it really does, this Remembrance is too precious.]
[Skirk: Difficult! Luo Feng also said earlier that the current Jingliu has lost some Memories due to Mara-Struck. We can probably only see a small segment of Memories about Jingliu practicing swordsmanship.]
[Beidou: Although I know this is certain, it is still inevitably regrettable. By the way, could that woman in military attire who taught Jingliu swordsmanship really be Jingliu's Master?]
[Dehya: If she is Jingliu's Master, then she must also be a rather legendary Xianzhou figure.]
[Kaveh: For this, ask General Jing Yuan, I wonder if there will be an answer.]
"Could that person really be Sister Jingliu's Master?"
Yanqing looked at the woman in military attire in the Remembrance projection and murmured curiously.
"Well, you'll have to ask Jingliu about that. Provided she still remembers."
"Or you can ask our Great General Jing Yuan?"
Luo Feng shrugged and said.
As his words fell, Yanqing indeed looked at General Jing Yuan curiously.
" Luo Feng is joking, Master would not tell me about this."
"When I first met Master, she was already an adult and already a very powerful swordsman."
General Jing Yuan shook his head and said.Like Yanqing, March 7th, and others, these Memories related to Jingliu were also full of novelty for him.
Perhaps this was a little disrespectful to Jingliu, but being able to learn about Jingliu's unknown past, even General Jing Yuan felt a little long-lost excitement.
"Um... Luo Feng, the Xianzhou Cang City you mentioned earlier, is it still there?"
At this moment, Mona raised her hand and asked.
"No, it's not there anymore."
"It fell in Star Calendar 6300."
"After that disaster, only a very small number of Cang City residents like Jingliu were transferred to other Starcruisers."
Luo Feng shook his head and said .
"Indeed! Historical records exist."
"That was a horrific disaster."
Jing Yuan said in agreement.
"I see."Mona pursed her lips.Although the people on Xianzhou Cang City had nothing to do with her.
But thinking of almost everyone on an entire Xianzhou dying in that year, kind Mona still felt a little sad inside.
"Luo Feng, you previously mentioned 'devourer of worlds luo hu descending upon Xianzhou Cang City'."
"Could it be that the Planet that fell earlier was the devourer of worlds luo hu?"
Morax asked curiously.
"What? That Planet was the devourer of worlds luo hu?"
"Really?"Hu Tao's eyes widened in surprise."That's right." Luo Feng nodded slightly:
"That Planet is indeed the devourer of worlds luo hu, and it's a living Planet."
"Living Planet?" Baizhu frowned slightly, "Could it be the same type as the living Planet cultivated by Miss Ruan Mei?"
"Well." Luo Feng stroked his chin and said:
"Because I haven't actually seen the living Planet created by Ruan Mei, I can't give you an accurate answer."
"But I think the living Planet created by Ruan Mei is still different from the devourer of worlds luo hu."
"After all, the devourer of worlds luo hu is an existence transformed from an inorganic Planet into an organic life form by pure Bounty Power."
"Huh?!" March 7th blinked:
"The Power of Abundance? Could it be something Yaoshi did?"
"Could it be that Lan the Hunt has been chasing It, making It very angry."
"So Yaoshi created a living Planet to destroy Xianzhou Cang City?"
[Charlotte: Really, Yaoshi the Abundance modified a Planet and sent it to destroy Xianzhou Cang City?]
[Wriothesley: That possibility should be very small. Yaoshi the Abundance should be an existence that only knows "salvation", not destruction.]
[Clorinde: Even if Yaoshi really wanted to retaliate, with Its status as a Aeon, It wouldn't resort to attacking a Xianzhou.]
[Charlotte: So, was it someone other than Yaoshi who used the Power of Abundance to modify this living Planet?]
[Ganyu: The Xianzhou Alliance has fought against the Denizens of Abundance in the Star Sea and had battles with the Denizens of Abundance. Perhaps it was the Denizens of Abundance who modified this Planet.]
[Cloud Retainer: Anyone capable of doing such a thing is definitely not an ordinary Denizens of Abundance.]
"Little March, there is no possibility that Yaoshi the Abundance attacked Xianzhou Cang City."
"Even if that one really wanted to act, It wouldn't do so in that form."
"I'd rather believe It bestowed abundance miracle upon Xianzhou Cang City once again."
Dan Heng said."Hmm... that makes sense."
"But if it wasn't Yaoshi, then who used Bounty Power to modify the Planet?"
March 7th touched her hair and looked at Luo Feng in confusion.
"That person is an old acquaintance of the Xianzhou."
"Similarly, he is also an old acquaintance of Dan Heng's past life Dan Feng and General Jing Yuan."
Luo Feng said.
Hearing this, the people around all looked at Jing Yuan and Dan Heng curiously.
Dan Heng frowned, as if recalling the person Luo Feng mentioned. Jing Yuan stood aside with a deep frown, as if remembering some unpleasant Remembrance.
"An old acquaintance of Dan Feng."
Dan Heng murmured to himself, trying hard to search for relevant memories in his mind.Soon, a figure appeared before Dan Heng's eyes.
"Luo Feng, are you referring to the Abundance's Emanator 'Shuhu'?!"
Dan Heng asked.Luo Feng nodded and said:
"It was indeed the Emanator of Abundance 'Shuhu' who resurrected Planet Luo Hu and turned it into the living Planet 'devourer of worlds luo hu'!".
[Barbara: It... It's really the Abundance's Emanator!!!]
[Cloud Retainer: As expected, it's not some simple Denizens of Abundance.]
[Rosaria: Shuhu? A name I haven't heard! But since it's a Emanator, Its power must be extremely strong!]
[Albert: But... but that's the Abundance's Emanator. Since It's the Abundance's Emanator, It should be better at healing, not fighting, right? Like Miss Barbara.]
[Rosaria: You seem to have a big misunderstanding about the current Barbara. In terms of combat ability, there aren't many people in Mondstadt who can surpass her right now.]
[Rosaria: The Power of Destiny is not that simple a matter. At least I don't have the confidence to fight Barbara.]
[Barbara: Ro... Miss Rosaria, please don't say that.]
[Kaeya: Although I don't know the specific reason, since the living Planet created by Abundance Emissary Shuhuo could lead to the destruction of Xianzhou Cang City, then Shuhu's own power must be absolutely not simple.]
[Diluc: Phantylia could still exhibit such outstanding immortality after absorbing the Bounty Power of The Ambrosial Arbor. Since It is an Emanator of Abundance, Its immortality might be even stronger.]
[Diluc: In many battles, just relying on immortality can make many opponents despair.]
[Beidou: I don't know if this Abundance Emissary Shuhuo did it intentionally or unintentionally, but considering that the Xianzhou is hunting the Denizens of Abundance in the Star Sea, Shuhu very likely intentionally created the living Planet to deal with Xianzhou Cang City.]
[Navia: Xianzhou Cang City back then definitely had its own General, right? Just one living Planet shouldn't have been enough to destroy Xianzhou Cang City. Perhaps that Emanator also directly participated in the attack on Cang City?]
[Cloud Retainer: That possibility is not zero.]
"Damn it, that Shuhu actually resurrected a Planet!"
"The perfectly fine Xianzhou Cang City was actually destroyed because of his actions."
"If this young lady ever meets him, I'll have to teach him a good lesson."
March 7th stomped her foot and said angrily.
"Haha, Miss March 7th is truly a person of strong character."
"However, Shuhu is a quite dangerous individual."
"If possible, it's best you don't encounter him."
Jing Yuan said with deep eyes.
"General..."
Yanqing looked at Jing Yuan. It was the first time he had seen such an expression on Jing Yuan's face.
It seemed cold, but also carried a hint of hatred.Yanqing even felt that Jing Yuan hadn't shown such an expression when facing Phantylia.
"Heh heh, it's nothing."
"Let's continue listening to Luo Feng's interpretation of the High-Cloud Quintet's Remembrance.
"Jing Yuan smiled and looked in Luo Feng's direction.
Hearing this, Luo Feng shrugged and said:
"Jingliu and the other High-Cloud Quintet's Remembrance cannot answer everything."
"Shuhu's purpose for creating the living Planet is unreliable."
"However, Shuhu does have a quite deep connection with the Xianzhou Alliance."
Luo Feng said.
"Could it be that the Xianzhou Alliance fought this Shuhu face-to-face?"
Baizhu asked curiously.Luo Feng turned his head, glanced at Baizhu, and explained:
"Passengers from Teyvat should still remember how I said Blade obtained his immortality."
A thought flashed in Baizhu's mind, and he nodded repeatedly:
"I remember Luo Feng mentioned that Blade's immortality came from the Blessing of the Abundance."
"Could it be that the one who gave Blade immortality is this Abundance Emissary Shuhuo?!"
Luo Feng nodded slightly and said,
"It is indeed Shuhu! I think Blade must really resent this guy."
Hearing this, Baizhu fell silent.
An immortal body, a body of eternal life, is indeed something many people yearn for.
But for Blade, it was absolutely a negative blessing.Blade indeed had a reason to hate Shuhu who blessed him.
"Shuhu is actually of the Abundance lineage, why would he bless Blade?"
Baizhu frowned slightly and muttered.
"You'll understand this if you keep watching."
"The Remembrance bubble also contains some of Blade's memories."
"It should be said, it contains the memories from when Blade was still called Yingxing."
Luo Feng said, looking at Jingliu in the projection again.
Time flew by, and Jingliu practiced her sword in the courtyard day after day.
The woman in military attire who used to come to the courtyard from time to time to instruct Jingliu no longer appeared.
Little Jingliu had already grown into an adult, wearing the set of clothes that everyone was familiar with.
Of course, at this time, Jingliu had not yet put on the black veil over her eyes.Suddenly, a small voice entered the courtyard and came before Jingliu.
"You... hello, I'm Jing Yuan, can I learn swordsmanship from you?"
The child stood in front of Jingliu and said somewhat cautiously.
As soon as the words fell, Yanqing, Mona, Dan Heng, and others all turned their attention to Jing Yuan.
[Dehya: General Jing Yuan looked like this when he was a child! The difference between him and the current General Jing Yuan is too big!]
[Tartaglia: No mistake, although the child's appearance is not exactly the same as the current General, their hairstyles are identical.]
[Paimon: I didn't expect General Jing Yuan to have such a moment when he was a child, he's really cute. I feel that General Jing Yuan when he was a child is very similar to the current Yanqing.]
[Xingqiu: It's really similar! However, it's a bit regrettable, the Remembrance jump of Jingliu is too fast, too fast.]
[Kaeya: Yes, I originally wanted to continue practicing a few single-handed sword moves with little Jingliu. But now it seems there is no such opportunity.]
[Diluc: That being said, now that Jing Yuan has come to Jingliu to seek instruction, perhaps we can learn something through the process of Jingliu teaching Jing Yuan.]
[Skirk: The premise is that the Remembrance bubble contains enough memories of Jingliu instructing Jing Yuan, or enough memories of Jing Yuan himself receiving instruction from Jingliu.]
[Dehya: If it's the Remembrance of Jingliu directly instructing Jing Yuan, it should have more reference value than the Remembrance of Jingliu practicing sword moves alone.]
"It's really nostalgic."
"I had almost forgotten these memories."
"I didn't expect Master to still remember."
Jing Yuan muttered to himself, feeling extremely emotional.
"Jingliu does remember a little bit of the Remembrance of him instructing you."
"But her current state is not good after all, so she doesn't remember much of the content."
"What we are seeing now is mostly your Remembrance, Jing Yuan."
Luo Feng said.
"Is that so, it seems I am very nostalgic for the days of seeking instruction."
Jing Yuan said while watching the scene of his childhood self being trained by Jingliu.
For some reason, the scene of himself drawing his sword against Jingliu after she fell into Mara-Struck status flashed in his mind.
Then, he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked down at Yanqing.
If one day, I also fall into Mara-Struck status.
Can you make the correct decision, Yanqing.
Jing Yuan muttered in his heart.
.......
Chapter 414: Exposing the last of the High-Cloud Quintet, Bai Heng, shocking the Tivat People
[Barbara: The Remembrance projection screen has jumped again, there are so many Cloud Knights, is this the Cloud Knight Soldiers' camp?]
[Kaeya: It looks like it should be, and this scene looks like Jingliu brought the still young Jing Yuan to experience the atmosphere of the Cloud Knights army.]
[Wriothesley: Did General Jing Yuan need to experience the atmosphere of the Cloud Knights army when he was still so young? Jingliu, as General Jing Yuan's Master, is truly strict.]
[Clorinde: This is normal, this kind of situation is not unheard of on the Teyvat Continent.]
[Wriothesley: Is that so, could it be that Clorinde you are in a similar situation?]
[Clorinde: No comment!]
[Wriothesley: That's truly regrettable.]
[Kaeya: Speaking of which, Yanqing also became General Jing Yuan's close guard at a very young age.]
[Noelle: General Jing Yuan was also like this when he was a child, can everyone join the Cloud Knights at a very young age?]
[Dehya: Perhaps General Jing Yuan also had strong talent when he was a child, which is why he was able to join the Cloud Knights so quickly.]
[Kaveh: After all, if General Jing Yuan's talent wasn't strong enough when he was a child, perhaps he wouldn't have been able to become Jingliu's disciple.]
[Dain: At this time, Jingliu seems to be in a high position among the Cloud Knights, even if she is not the General of the Xianzhou, her position is probably not low.]
"Hold this oath!"
"We Cloud Knights, like clouds obstructing the sky, protect the Xianzhou!"
"Draw your sword!"In the army, under the witness of many Cloud Knight Soldiers, Jingliu drew the sharp sword from her waist and pointed forward.
"Yes, Master!"Xiao Jing Yuan drew his sword and solemnly recited:"Hold this oath!"
"We Cloud Knights, like clouds obstructing the sky, protect the Xianzhou!"
Although young, the still young Jing Yuan had firm eyes.
The scene changed, and Jing Yuan and Jingliu had already left the army and returned to the place where they first met.
As the sun set, Jingliu stood with her hands behind her back, supervising Jing Yuan's training with a serious expression.
"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-six!"
"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-seven!"
"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight!"
"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine!"
"Ten thousand! Huff... huff!"
The young Jing Yuan temporarily stopped his sword practice and let out a long breath.
His posture of holding the sword relaxed slightly after completing the practice.
"Hold tight! As a Cloud Knight, you must not let your weapon leave your hand, or your form become scattered."
Seeing this, Jingliu said seriously."
Yes, Master."
Even though he was already covered in sweat, Xiao Jing Yuan immediately tightened his grip on the long sword in his hand after hearing Jingliu's words.
Under Jingliu's supervision, he continued to practice swinging his sword.Again and again.
......
On the Astral Express corridor, Yanqing watched these projected scenes, and a strong sense of déjà vu surged in his heart.
He had also experienced these things.
It was just that the Master was replaced by Jing Yuan, and the disciple was replaced by him, Yanqing.
"So General was imitating Big Sister Jingliu?"
Yanqing glanced at Jing Yuan, who seemed to be reminiscing about the past, and muttered.
"That... isn't it inappropriate for you to call Jingliu 'Big Sister'?"
"She is General Jing Yuan's Master, and General Jing Yuan is your Master."
"So, you should call Jingliu 'Grand-Master'."
Hu Tao whispered to Yanqing.
"It seems that is indeed the case."
Yanqing touched the back of his head and looked at Jing Yuan somewhat awkwardly.
Seeing that Jing Yuan didn't seem to have noticed what he said, Yanqing let out a long sigh of relief and once again focused his attention on the Remembrance projection.
......
"Ah ah ah!!!"
"Watch out!!!"
In mid-air, a scream suddenly came.Jing Yuan, who had just finished training and was wiping the sword in his hand, raised his head in confusion.
He saw a Starskiff in mid-air uncontrollably falling towards Jingliu's location.
"Be careful, Master."
Jing Yuan was startled and quickly shouted.
Jingliu calmly glanced at the out-of-control Starskiff, drew her sword, swung it, and sheathed it in one fluid motion.
Then, Jingliu slightly took a step back.A flash of sword light swept across the out-of-control Starskiff, directly splitting it into two halves.
Inside the Starskiff, a Fox-race female fell from it, landing exactly where Jingliu had been before she stepped back.
[Kaeya: As expected of Jingliu, I couldn't see that sword strike at all just now.]
[Xingqiu: To split a Starskiff open without harming the person inside, this level of control over the sword is truly impressive.]
[Paimon: Speaking of which, who is this person who fell out of the Starskiff? Is she also related to Jingliu?]
[Kamisato Ayaka: If this person truly comes from Jingliu's Remembrance, then she must be someone who left a deep impression on Jingliu.]
[Thoma: After all, Jingliu has lost many Memories due to the Mara-Struck. The people she can still remember now must be those who left a significant mark in her life.]
[Shikanoin Heizou: But the current Remembrance projection could also be from General Jing Yuan. Therefore, this Fox-race Girl might be someone very important to General Jing Yuan.]
[Paimon: That's right! Wait, look quickly, isn't General Jing Yuan's expression in reality too sad?]
[Sangonomiya Kokomi: It seems Shikanoin Heizou was right, this Fox-race Girl must be someone who left a deep impression on General Jing Yuan and is very important to him.Otherwise, given General Jing Yuan's personality, he wouldn't let his emotions show so clearly on his face.]
[Arataki Itto: Could this suddenly appearing Fox-race Girl also be one of the High-Cloud Quintet?]
[Paimon: Really?]
......
"Um, are you guys okay?
""Are you injured?"
The Fox-race Girl stood up and looked at Jingliu and Xiao Jing Yuan, who was running over quickly, with concern.
"We should be asking you that."
"Why did your Starskiff fall from the sky?"
"Are you really not injured from the fall?"
Jing Yuan asked.
"Ahaha, the Starskiff exceeded the speed limit."
"Then it suddenly lost control."
The Fox-race Girl scratched her head and smiled awkwardly.
"But you two don't need to worry."
"This isn't the first or second time my Starskiff has fallen from the sky."
"Every time, I manage to perfectly avoid getting injured."
"This time is no exception."
The Fox-race Girl puffed out her chest and said with a smile.
"Not the first or second time? You're actually proud of that?!"
"You... you're really amazing."
Jing Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth and said.
"Right? I also think I'm amazing."
"Oh, by the way, I have a pot of good tea here, do you want to try it together?"
"Consider it compensation for startling you."
The Fox-race Girl said, took out a pot of tea from behind her, and walked over to a stone table not far away to set it up on her own.
"Hey, you're too casual."
"We don't even know your name yet."
Jing Yuan said with a look of embarrassment."Have I not introduced myself yet? Sorry, sorry."
"You can call me Bai Heng, or you can also call me Bai Heng, the best Starskiff operator on the future Xianzhou."
Bai Heng turned around, put her hands on her hips, and said proudly to Jing Yuan and Jingliu.
......
" Luo Feng, General Yuan's expression seems off."
"Is this Fox-race Girl very important to him?"
March 7th leaned closer to Luo Feng and asked in a low voice in his ear.
"Naturally," Luo Feng nodded and said,"After all, this Fox-race Girl named Bai Heng is one of the future High-Cloud Quintet."
"She is also the only relevant person from the High-Cloud Quintet Remembrance that I haven't collected."
Hearing this, March 7th's eyes widened instantly:
"She's actually one of the High-Cloud Quintet!"
March 7th's surprised voice spread, and the onlookers who had been guessing who the Fox-race Girl was finally understood Bai Heng's identity.
[Paimon: What! So this Fox-race Girl named Bai Heng is indeed the last member of the High-Cloud Quintet? That Arataki Itto actually guessed right!]
[Arataki Itto: Ahahaha, as expected of this great me.]
[Arataki Itto: I see, since Bai Heng is one of the High-Cloud Quintet, she must be General Jing Yuan's friend, and he must feel nostalgic seeing Bai Heng.]
[Thoma: But General Jing Yuan's expression doesn't seem to be just simple nostalgia.]
[Navia: Besides nostalgia, there seems to be a hint of sadness as well.]
[Nilou: I have a bad feeling. Could this Fox-race Girl named Bai Heng...]
[Shikanoin Heizou: The average lifespan of Xianzhou Foxians is around three hundred years, but the lifespan of Xianzhou natives is around a thousand years.General Jing Yuan has been the General of the Xianzhou Luofu for hundreds of years, so this Miss Bai Heng is probably no longer alive.]
[Dehya: So, that's why Lord Luo Feng said it was very difficult to collect the Remembrance of the last member of the High-Cloud Quintet before.]
[Wriothesley: A friend's passing is indeed a sad thing, but given General Jing Yuan's personality, if Miss Bai Heng had died of old age, he probably wouldn't show such a slightly sad expression.]
[Charlotte: Could it be... could it be that this Miss Bai Heng will encounter some kind of accident in the future?]
[Wriothesley: I'm just guessing, we'll have to see the subsequent Remembrance projection to know for sure.]
[Navia: Alas, I hope the outcome isn't like that.]
[Alice: Three of the High-Cloud Quintet have already appeared, Blade and Dan Feng will also appear one after another next.]
[Barbeloth: The Remembrance projection screen has jumped again, and new people have appeared... Speaking of which, the appearance of this new child seems a bit familiar.]
[Alice: It seems to have some similarities to Blade's appearance.]
[Paimon: That Blade? They don't look alike at all! Besides their appearance, their temperament and everything else are too different. And, their hair color isn't even the same.]
......
Remembrance Projection.
"That... that, Master Huai Yan sent me here to meet you all."
"Everyone, please follow me."
The young black-haired youth walked up to Jingliu, Bai Heng, and the considerably grown-up young boy Jing Yuan, and said timidly to the three of them.
"Oh, are you the one who came to pick us up?"
"Wait, the clothes you're wearing are only worn by the Master craftsman?!"
Bai Heng asked in surprise.
"Yes! I only recently became qualified to wear these clothes."
"Amazing, to become a Master craftsman at such a young age, you have a lot of potential."
"Come, come, quickly come and have a cup of tea."
Bai Heng pulled the black-haired youth into the pavilion, smiling as she poured him a cup of tea.
"Bai Heng, now isn't the time for tea, is it?"
"We still have the important matter of requesting aid."
The young Jing Yuan stood with one hand on his hip, saying helplessly.
"Hehe, it's still early before the departure time."
"What does it matter if we delay a little bit?"
"Besides, if we build a good relationship with this genius craftsman in front of us now."
"Maybe in the future, all three of us can easily get a divine weapon."
Bai Heng said with a smile.Hearing this, the young Jing Yuan rubbed his forehead helplessly and shook his head.
The blue-haired youth looked at the tea in front of him, pursed his lips, and said to Bai Heng:
"Well, that... the Immortal Masters all say that I can't live as long as them."
"Therefore, the craftsman knowledge I can learn is ultimately limited."
"Perhaps, I won't be able to forge divine weapons worthy of praise."
Upon hearing this, Bai Heng's face showed a surprised expression:
"So you are a short-lived race!"
"Yes, so you should be able to understand..."
Before the black-haired youth finished speaking, Bai Heng put her hand on his head.
"Being a short-lived race means that the time you spend becoming a Master craftsman will only be shorter."
"Indeed, you are a true genius. So, don't listen to those old guys talking nonsense."
"They are not Immortals, they just live a little longer."
"The reason your Masters say that the craftsman knowledge you can learn is ultimately limited."
"I think, it must be because they are jealous of you and afraid that you, a short-lived race, will surpass them in craftsman achievements."
"So, you don't need to care about what those people say, you just need to work hard, whether you succeed or not depends on fate."
Bai Heng said with a smile as she rubbed the black-haired youth's hair.
The black-haired youth heard this and stared blankly at Bai Heng's face.After a long time, he finally reacted and a beautiful smile appeared on his face.
"Yes!" The black-haired youth nodded heavily.
"That's right, by the way, what's your name?"
Bai Heng asked.
"My name is Yingxing, what about you, big sister?"
The young Yingxing asked with a smile.
[Paimon: Yingxing? I remember Luo Feng said that was Blade's previous name.So... so this black-haired youth is really Blade! The difference between him before and after is too big.]
.......
Chapter 415: Imbibitor Lunae vs. Jingliu; Tivat People: Can't see clearly, can't see at all!
[Paimon: If this youth is the future Blade... no, no,no matter how I think about it, I can't connect the two. The difference between them is too great.]
[Dehya: Paimon is right, the difference between them is indeed great, it's hard to imagine that someone so cold and ruthless now could have been so cute before.
Could it be that the reason Blade is so deranged now is still a sequela of being Mara-Struck?]
[Candace: It's not impossible, but it's very common for a person's personality to change between childhood and adulthood.]
[Tighnari: So, an adult Blade who hasn't yet fallen into being Mara-Struck might also be a person with a deranged personality, and being Mara-Struck would amplify the madness in his heart.]
[Kaveh: I can't believe that Blade was once a genius Master craftsman, and he will definitely be able to truly forge divine weapons in the future. As expected, none of the High-Cloud Quintet are simple individuals.]
[Dvalin: In this way, four of the High-Cloud Quintet have already appeared, and the remaining one is probably that Dragon Lord Dan Feng.]
[Paimon: Yes, the last one is Dan Feng who committed a great mistake, when will he appear?]
[Apep: The projection of Remembrance will give us the answer.]
Astral Express, aisle.
"So that's what Blade was like before."
"General, did he later succeed in becoming a legendary craftsman and forging divine weapons?"
Yanqing asked curiously, looking at Jing Yuan in surprise.
"Naturally." Jing Yuan nodded and said:
"Bai Heng has excellent foresight, Blade... no, at that time he should be called Yingxing."
"Yingxing, just as Bai Heng said, became talented at a young age and became the foremost craftsman in the Artificers Workshop."
"If the higher-ups hadn't made it impossible for the Artificers Workshop to be managed by a short-lived race, Yingxing would have already become the leader of the Artificers Workshop."
"Speaking of which, this Devastator Glaive 'Starfall Reverie' in my hand is one of the divine weapons that Yingxing forged back then."
After speaking, Jing Yuan grabbed with his right hand, and Starfall Reverie appeared in his hand accompanied by a ray of light.
"The General's Devastator Glaive was actually forged by Yingxing back then!"
Yanqing swallowed his throat, his eyes full of envy.
As the General's disciple, he naturally knew how excellent the Starfall Reverie in Jing Yuan's hand was as a weapon.
Saying it could cut hair is not enough to express even one percent of how powerful 'Starfall Reverie' is.
If he could get a sword of the same quality, he would probably be so happy he couldn't sleep.
"Unfortunately, the current Blade probably can't forge weapons for me."
Yanqing lowered his head and sighed deeply.
[Dehya: Hiss! The Devastator Glaive in General Jing Yuan's hand was actually forged by Blade!]
[Kaeya: That Devastator Glaive can withstand General Jing Yuan's power as a Emanator, which shows Blade's exquisite skill.]
[Dori: I wonder if there are any other weapons personally forged by Blade left on the Luofu. If they could be found and brought to the Teyvat Continent, they would definitely sell for a good price.]
[Paimon: The projection screen has changed again. Huh! The current Yingxing looks very similar to Blade now.]
[Lumine: After all, Yingxing has changed into the clothes Blade wears. And he seems to have matured a lot, he looks to be around thirty years old now.]
[Dehya: The long object wrapped in cloth in his hand... looks somewhat like a sword?]
[Xingqiu: From the appearance, it should undoubtedly be a sword. Since Blade would forge weapons for General Jing Yuan, could this sword also be a weapon forged for someone?]
[Kaeya: To be able to appear in the Remembrance projection, this sword should be something quite important to one of the High-Cloud Quintet.]
[Jean: From the sound, Bai Heng and Jing Yuan seem to be discussing the matter of the Sword Helm Master.]
[Lumine: I heard it too, it seems Jingliu just became the Sword Helm Master. They are talking about celebrating.]
[Tartaglia: No way, the Remembrance Jingliu gave to Luo Feng didn't include the Remembrance of how he won the Sword Helm Master position?]
[Tartaglia: Damn it, in that case, I won't be able to admire the superb swordsmanship she used when she won the Helm Master position?]
[Skirk: Perhaps for Jingliu, the Remembrance of winning the Sword Helm Master position is not important, what is important is the Remembrance of getting along with the rest of the High-Cloud Quintet.]
Under the pavilion.Jingliu, Bai Heng, and Jing Yuan were talking and laughing about Jingliu winning the Sword Helm Master position.
The now adult Yingxing walked slowly to Jingliu, Bai Heng, and Jing Yuan, holding the object wrapped in cloth in his hands.
"You're late, Yingxing."
"Come quickly, the drinks are ready."
Bai Heng noticed Yingxing approaching and waved happily.
"Sorry, I was delayed for a while because I had to forge something."
Yingxing smiled slightly at Bai Heng and said.
"Hoh! Yingxing, could that object you're holding be something you forged?"
Jing Yuan noticed the item Yingxing was holding and asked.
Yingxing nodded, untied the cloth, and revealed the contents to everyone.
"A sword?"
Jingliu looked over.
"That's right!" Yingxing nodded and said:
"This sword is forged from the essence of extraterrestrial gold and stone, refined a hundred times. It is five feet long, weighs a thousand jun, and its blade is dark."
"And only the Luofu Cloud Knights' Swordmaster can fully express the true wonder of this sword."
With that, a smile appeared on Yingxing's face.
"I see, so it's a gift for Master winning the Swordmaster title."
"I'm really envious, Yingxing, when will you give me a sword?"
Jing Yuan asked.
"You don't use swords anymore, right?"
"It's strange to say, you're clearly Jingliu's disciple, why did you switch to using a Devastator Glaive?"
Yingxing looked at Jing Yuan somewhat strangely.
"There's nothing I can do, it's more convenient when I'm in formation."
Jing Yuan spread his hands, shaking his head as he spoke.Jingliu, who was beside them, picked up the long sword and drew it from its sheath.
A silver light flashed, and the surrounding air seemed to become a little colder.
"What a good sword, what's its name?"
Jingliu looked at Yingxing and asked.
"Shard "
Yingxing grinned and replied.
[Kaedehara Kazuha: What a good sword, what a good name!]
[Ei: It is indeed a good sword!]
[Tenmei XV: Yes, although we cannot see the true form of this sword, just by looking at its appearance, we can tell it's a good sword.]
[Old Zhang: If I could forge a sword like this in my lifetime, my life would be worth it.]
[Beidou: As expected, the craftsmen at the blacksmith's shop would say similar things when they see the sword Yingxing forged.]
[Yelan: To forge a sword like this, in addition to superb skill, one must also have sufficiently valuable materials.]
[Kaeya: The material "essence of extraterrestrial gold and stone" that Yingxing mentioned earlier for forging this shard sword might be obtainable by challenging the Forgotten Hall on Luo Feng's Astral Express.]
[Paimon: That's right, the Forgotten Hall on Luo Feng's Astral Express has many rare materials. If you can pass the challenges there, you can definitely get "essence of extraterrestrial gold and stone", right?]
[Lumine: Not just "essence of extraterrestrial gold and stone", other precious materials can probably be obtained too, provided you can successfully pass the challenges of the Forgotten Hall.]
[Dehya: Hmm... If it were me, after passing the Forgotten Hall, I'd most likely want to exchange for a light cone.]
[Tartaglia: After all, a light cone can directly increase a person's power, but materials... even the best blacksmiths in Teyvat would probably need to put in some effort to fully utilize extraterrestrial materials, right?]
[Skirk: This sword seems to be the same one used by the current Blade.]
[Paimon: That's not right, the sword used by the current Blade clearly has many cracks on its body. The sword Jingliu is holding in the current Remembrance projection doesn't have cracks, right?]
[Skirk: It's possible something happened later, which caused cracks to appear on the body of the shard sword.]
[Dehya: But if the shard sword we are seeing now and the sword held by Blade are the same sword, then why would this sword, which was originally given to Jingliu, later return to Blade's hands?]
[Tartaglia: Because Jingliu comprehended the principle of using herself as a sword, she is no longer bound by using swords forged from metal. Could it be because Jingliu reached this stage in the path of the sword, she returned the shard sword to Blade?]
...
"I see, so it's called the shard sword."
"Mhm, it really is a good name."
"You agree, right, Jingliu?
"Bai Heng hugged Jingliu's arm and said."It is indeed a good name."
"And a good sword."
Jingliu touched the sword body, and a faint smile appeared on her usually indifferent face.....
"Even Jingliu says so, Yingxing's craftsmanship is truly superb."
"Speaking of which, now that there's a treasure sword, shouldn't we test it out next?"
"Jing Yuan, why don't you be Jingliu's opponent?"
Bai Heng said.
"Me?" Jing Yuan waved his hand, "Let's forget it, let's find some demonic creatures for Master to test the sword on."
"Looking for demonic creatures?" Bai Heng stroked her chin, "But where are there demonic creatures now?"
Just as Bai Heng was troubled, a clear voice came over.
"I heard that the newly promoted Swordmaster Jingliu's sword technique is profound."
"Known as 'Shine of Truth'."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, may I ask if you would test your sword?"
Bai Heng, Jingliu, and Jing Yuan looked up and saw a man with dragon horns already approaching.
[Paimon: He... he appeared, the last member of the High-Cloud Quintet, Dan Feng!]
[Beidou: I see, so this is how Dan Feng met Jingliu, Jing Yuan, Yingxing, and Bai Heng.]
[Yelan: Perhaps Dan Feng also witnessed the scene where Jingliu won the Helm Master title, which is why he came looking for Jingliu to spar.]
[Tartaglia: Mhm, I understand that feeling. Seeing a powerful enemy with superb strength sometimes makes people want to fight them.]
[Lumine: By common sense, many people wouldn't have such thoughts. Only battle maniacs like you would have such thoughts.]
[Tartaglia: Whatever, I just want to know about the spar between Jingliu and Dan Feng now, they shouldn't skip it, right?]
[Kaeya: Looking at this stance, the battle scene won't be skipped. But trying to see their fight clearly will likely be quite difficult.]
[Dehya: It's starting! But... this is too fast, both Dan Feng and Jingliu are too fast, I can't see it clearly at all!]
[Dvalin: This power of Dan Feng's is so similar to Dan Heng's. And Jingliu can actually contend with it. What an incredible swordmaster.]
[Xingqiu: As the saying goes, you don't know someone until you fight them. Dan Feng probably started integrating into their group because of this spar.]
...
Astral Express.
"I see, so this is how Dan Feng met Jingliu, Bai Heng, and the others."
Dan Heng exhaled and murmured.
Compared to the spar between Jingliu and Dan Feng in the Remembrance projection before him,he was more concerned about how Dan Feng integrated into the group with Jingliu, Bai Heng, and the others.
"At that time, Dan Feng was extremely arrogant, and only Master could attract him."
"That being said, once I really got to know him, I found him quite easy to get along with."
"At least, that was the case at that time."
Jing Yuan said.
"So, are you guys going to be active together as the High-Cloud Quintet on this Xianzhou from now on?"
March 7th looked over curiously.
"The title 'High-Cloud Quintet' appeared much later."
"However, after this spar, we did often act together.
""After all, at that time, we were all people who weren't very sociable."
Jing Yuan said.
As his voice fell, the Remembrance projection's screen suddenly sped up,Scenes of the High-Cloud Quintet fighting together, drinking together, and enjoying flowers together quickly reappeared before everyone's eyes.
[Thoma: It's clear that these five people are quite close.]
[Kaeya: Five people with different personalities can still be kindred spirits, which is quite a wonder.]
[Dain: That being said, most of the credit for these five people being able to gather together should go to Bai Heng.]
[Alice: Indeed, without her cheerful presence among the five, the others would probably find it difficult to get along.]
[Lumine: Mhm, Bai Heng was like the mood-maker among the five.]
[Paimon: If only such beauty could last forever...]
Although the Tivat People hoped such beauty would last indefinitely, they also understood it was impossible.
After all, the result of Blade, Jingliu, Dan Heng, and others going their separate ways was already before their eyes.
Just as the Remembrance projection currently showed, beautiful scenes eventually come to an end.
After the beauty, what appeared before everyone was the flames of war that seemed to scorch the entire land.
"Shuhu's Chaos!"
Jing Yuan muttered to himself, his expression becoming extremely serious.
