Kapitel 1: Chapter One: "The Heaven-Destroying Sword Technique"
"The Heaven-Destroying Sword Technique!" Xian yu exclaimed.
A tiny sword wind blew by, but the trees in front of him showed no reaction.
"Gan! Why is it different from what I thought?" Xian yu muttered in frustration.
The skill of "The Heaven-Destroying Sword Technique" was Xianyu's reward for signing in. It had been a year since he arrived in the world of Genshin Impact.
He couldn't use any of the seven elemental powers of the original God world - Anemo, Geo, Electro, Dendro, Hydro, Pyro, and Cryo. The reason was the lack of an external magic organ, the Vision.
This swordsmanship was a year-end reward he received, and he was eager to try it out. But the result left him disappointed.
It lacked the power and momentum of Qiye Shengjun's "air in seconds, sky in seconds, earth in seconds."
Unnecessary tears welled up in his eyes.
As for his "Cheat code" it consisted of just a sign-in page and a space backpack, with no explanation of how it appeared. Still, it was a fortunate discovery for him.
However, the sign-in rewards seemed a bit of a trap. Apart from the "Zhantian" he received now, the rest were experience points or minor skills and items. He only gained two minor skills.
The first was the "Basic Sword Technique" he obtained when he first traveled through the world. It was quite basic but proved useful for survival in the wilderness.
The second skill was the "Basic Breathing Technique," another basic ability that strengthened his body.
Then there were various miscellaneous items, including iron swords, urns, and even a towel that belonged to his aunt.
Xianyu couldn't help but feel frustrated by these seemingly useless items. He no longer expected great rewards and focused on improving his "The Heaven-Destroying Sword Technique."
Yet, no response or improvement came. He sighed, "Forget it, if it can't be enhanced, I'll accept it as a consolation prize."
Even though he said this, Xianyu was still unwilling to give up on this The Heaven-Destroying Sword Technique. The skill's name was ridiculous, but he hoped it would eventually prove its worth.
Xianyu considered that perhaps the issue was with him, but he couldn't believe it had no effect whatsoever. He was stronger than most ordinary people, after all. He mused, "Tsk! I almost forgot, I actually have another skill."
Besides the two basic skills, Xianyu possessed another skill whose name he had forgotten, called "Bound Spirit." He had no idea of its effect.
Although it sounded like it involved contracting souls or spirits, his experiments yielded no results, even when attempting it on souls or animals. Over time, he had forgotten about this skill until the incident with the sword drawing, and he pondered ways to harness its potential.
After all, despite Teyvat's apparent peace, there were hidden dangers, and the Liyue region he currently resided in was no exception.
Ordinary people might not know what's about to happen, but Xian Yu, being an avid gamer, had some knowledge of major events even in games with weak plots.
Liyue, this prosperous nation, would soon face a great disaster! Osial, ancient god and sea monster a formidable demon with powerful divine powers, would soon descend upon it. Even if he would ultimately be suppressed by the Seven Stars of Liyue and the Adeptus, who knew if it would affect him?
While it appeared that no one died in the game, it made Xian Yu wonder, was it really the case? Not a single death? Could that be possible?
Actually, no. Zhongli's plan was to conceal the danger of the demons. Demons were dangerous to even look at, let alone confront.
This was why he was anxious. But gaining power in this world wasn't straightforward. To harness power, you needed to bring up the "Vision", as it was the only way to wield elemental power and extraordinary abilities.
But... how many people were chosen by the divine grace? From what Xian Yu had seen in the past year, he hadn't encountered anyone with the Vision.
This indicated just how challenging it was to obtain.
"However, besides the Vision, there's the Delusion, but it seems that only the Fatui possess it, making it quite challenging to deal with..."
In reality, the NPCs in the game were immensely powerful. Though Xian Yu had ideas about the Delusion, it was merely speculation. If he genuinely wanted it, it might be more accessible to approach Zhongli directly. If Zhongli couldn't help, Barbatos might.
However, involving them could attract unwelcome attention.
Xian Yu didn't want to expose himself too much at this point. He lacked the strength and felt vulnerable in everything he did.
He had considered the hilichurls Shaman and the Abyss Mage, but the problem remained the same: he wasn't strong enough. While he could handle ordinary beasts and hilichurls, those who wielded elemental powers were beyond his reach.
Even if he was fortunate enough to obtain the Lin Line branches and the energy-conducting scroll, he wouldn't know how to use them. The different species and their powers perplexed him.
So, after careful consideration, Xian Yu decided it was best to wait. At the very least, he could flee to Mondstadt when he heard about the arrival of traveler. This way, he could evade Osel's disaster and avoid worrying about Mondstadt's Wind Demon Dragon, Dvalin.
"Killing two birds with one stone! I'm quite clever!"
"Thinking about it this way, I shouldn't worry too much..." he said, though he still couldn't shake his insecurity due to his lack of strength.
These thoughts brought him back to his "Basic Breathing Technique."
He had been practicing this technique, and even though leveling up through "experience points" had made him more sensitive to elemental powers, he still couldn't harness them. The sensation of seeing but not touching them was torturous.
This experience gave him insight into the feelings of those who were sensitive to the elements. It wasn't a psychological distortion; they were simply strong, with self-regulation beyond ordinary people.
"Master, I went to collect what you ordered, but that person wasn't there..."
Xian Yu, who was lost in thought with a sword in hand, suddenly heard the voice and snapped back to reality. "Alright, I understand. I appreciate your help, Uncle Zhang."
"No trouble at all, young master. Please don't say that. I'm just running errands. Without your assistance, I might not have had the opportunity to explore the world."
Xian Yu said nothing but handed over a bag containing five hundred moras. He would have given more, but even if he tried, the other party wouldn't accept it and would return it, as had happened before.
"Uncle Zhang, consider this small sum of mora as a token of my gratitude. It might not be much, but it can help you buy some new clothes for Little Raspberry and Little Pepper."
Zhang Feng pondered it for a moment and eventually accepted the mora. Although he initially hesitated, the thought of his granddaughter made him change his mind.
"Thank you, Master."
As he watched the old man leave, Xian Yu's determination grew stronger. He didn't want to end up like Uncle Zhang one day, stranded in the wilderness with no guarantee of survival, relying on the kindness of others.
"Tunafa, it feels like I'm getting a bit more at ease..."
"The same goes for my swordsmanship. Even though I've improved these two skills by one level, I still need to practice them regularly."
"Plus, since I've asked Uncle Zhang to inquire about the missing traveler, it's a positive development. I won't have to rush to Mondstadt too soon."
