Chapter 651 Simply put, it's the surface of water.
"It's no use. Whether it's us flower spirits or the spirit light, we are one with the earth and will not eat like humans... You, you, you, what kind of wine is this? I've never heard of the Jiao Lun Group using their wine like this!"
Slusa watched in astonishment as the luminous ball suddenly shone brightly in Xu Ning's palm.
It felt like a spark of inspiration had been reborn, and all I wanted to do was travel and have some fun.
"This is Brother Xu's unique power of alcoholic elements, completely different from the ordinary alcoholic beverages of the Jiao... Lun Group."
Kongbang Slusa explained for a moment, then asked, "I was actually about to ask this. The cults living in the rainforest are called the 'Nagajuna Cult,' but you all seem to call yourselves the 'Corrections Cult'?"
Before Slusa could answer, a gentle and refined voice suddenly rang out from above.
"Let me answer this question for everyone."
Xu Ning looked up.
Walking out from the underground riverbed, you arrive at the place where Jiao Lun and his group are resting. The gentle and refined middle-aged man in front of you must be their "main force".
"Appreciate further details."
Xu Ning clasped his hands in a fist salute to the man and said politely.
“Nagajuna was our first sage, a hero who fought alongside the descendants of the divine bird against demons. To address such a hero by his name is disrespectful, let alone to use it as the name of our order. To us, using such a title is a highly blasphemous and derogatory term.”
"That's why we call ourselves the Correction Group, because we want to correct all the evil practices in the Sumeru Teaching Academy."
Xu Ning nodded. "You're absolutely right. Arrogance is the name of those guys in the Order of the Fathers. Those disrespectful people deserve to be taught a lesson."
The middle-aged man nodded approvingly upon hearing Xu Ning's words.
"Although these are extraordinary times, I am very worried that Lady Silsa's permission for you to enter this place may have a negative impact on our upcoming ceremony. However, your words prove that you have an upright heart. May I ask what brings you here?"
Sluza was clearly displeased with the middle-aged man's denial of his decision. "Don't worry about his attitude. My decision will not change. My Lord, bring out the drum you brought."
Xu Ning gestured for Kong to take out the broken drum and handed it directly to the middle-aged man in front of him.
"This is... the Ice Drum! The important magical artifact we've been searching for for years has actually been delivered to our doorstep like this? It's perfectly timed, and a good omen for our upcoming plans!"
"If only it would go this smoothly one day when I lead the Correctionist Group to counterattack the Church and burn that Wisdom Palace to the ground."
Xu Ning listened to this guy's rebellious remarks. Although they sounded silly, there was no denying that this guy really harbored deep resentment towards the Order Institute.
At least after Xu Ning and his companion took out the ice drum, the middle-aged man's attitude towards them improved significantly.
"I forgot to introduce myself. I am Nashenjuna, the leader of the Juroku group who is practicing here. According to the level of the Juroku, I am equivalent to a sage."
Xu Ning nodded, pointed to himself and Kong, "Nice to meet you. Li Yue Xu Ning, this is Kong and his partner Paimon. I've heard that you have quite a bit of knowledge about that Burning Truth celestial phenomenon. Could you tell me more about what it is?"
Na Xianzhu smiled and said, "To put it simply, it's 'the surface of water'!"
water surface?
Xu Ning pondered for a moment, "So, is the water surface you're referring to reflecting the scene above the sky or the scene below the earth? And through which part is it reflected?"
Naxian Zhuna pointed to the ground beneath his feet. “Naturally, it is beneath the earth. Long, long ago, underground here, there was a facility built by the ancient kingdom of Tuhe that connected with the outside world. Oh, if you are not familiar with the ancient kingdom of Tuhe, it also has another name, Kanreia.”
Xu Ning and Kong exchanged a glance and both sighed helplessly.
How should I put it? It seems that whenever Teyvat causes any trouble these days, Kanriar has to step up and get a beating.
"Five hundred years ago, a great calamity struck. Demons entered the earthly kingdom from there, tearing out a huge rift known as the 'Black Abyss of Tu Ni.' Although it was blocked by the new veins of the ancient tree, this mysterious celestial phenomenon appeared at that time."
"Even if the monsters cannot enter Teyvat through this illusion, the corrupting power within it continues to pollute the surrounding land. If left unchecked, the rift might reappear, and the ancient wars might resume. It's something to look forward to."
Exciting? Are you serious?
Xu Ning and Kong Du looked at the leader of this debate group with some surprise.
Zhu chuckled somewhat nervously, but after seeing Xu Ning and Kong's expressions, he coughed lightly, straightened his posture, and said again, "Legend has it that the original master and the flower spirit extinguished this phenomenon together, and this situation has not occurred for hundreds of years."
Sluza said proudly, "Back then, the divine bird Seymour drank the 'nectar of life' left by the gods and was reborn as countless rays of light, annihilating and sealing away the filth. As the descendant of the divine bird, it is our mission to solve this celestial phenomenon, and I will also leave behind a great legacy like the divine bird."
Xu Ning finally understood what this seemingly dim-witted flower spirit meant by the great "sacrifice" it kept chanting.
"Alright, I have a general idea of your mission for now."
Xu Ning pointed at everyone, including himself, and said, "Roughly speaking, my lady is going to die. You're in charge of how she dies, I'm in charge of reading the eulogy, Paimon is in charge of scattering flowers, and Kong is in charge of crying at the grave, right?"
Kong looked at Xu Ning, both amused and exasperated, "That can't be right, big brother!"
Slusa echoed, "Sacrificing one's life to purify the earth is something to celebrate for us flower spirits. The flower-scattering project will remain, but you two can change it."
Sora turned to Sluza and shouted, "You're focusing on the wrong thing too. Stop talking about sacrifices and think of other ways too."
Zhu Xi agreed with Xu Ning's summary.
"That's roughly the idea. However, the documents about the Celestial Phenomenon of Burning Truth have all been lost in my duties. Fortunately, I found the Ritual of Crossing the River in the remaining documents, and finally found a way to cross the Black Abyss and reach the location of the Celestial Phenomenon."
Kong exclaimed in surprise, "Wouldn't crossing the Black Abyss lead to the underground? How could it possibly take us to the heavens?"
Na Xianzhu shook his head and said, "No, you'll understand when you see the scene there. I need to make some preparations for the departure ceremony, so I'll take you with me."
