"Then how can the Vision Hunt Decree and Sakoku Decree be lifted?"
"Besides the Raiden Shogun herself lifting a certain decree, in Inazuma, there is a tradition called the Duel before the Emperor. If someone is dissatisfied with a policy in Inazuma, they can initiate a Gozen Duel in front of the Raiden Shogun's Tenshukaku. The Shogunate is not allowed to refuse.
The initiator of the Gozen Duel will engage in a life-or-death battle with a person in charge of the Tenryou Commission. The victor earns a turning point, while the loser faces divine punishment.
Even if you are a heinous criminal, as long as you win the Gozen Duel, all previously committed crimes can be pardoned. However, it is rare for the initiator to win in such situations.
The strength of the Tenryou Commission is evident; after all, the Raiden Shogun is a pure martial artist. If they did not possess extraordinary courage and martial arts, the Raiden Shogun would not let members of the Kujou Clan govern the Tenryou Commission.
As I mentioned before, one of the Inazuman crew members on Beidou, Captain's ship is an example of this. His close friend, dissatisfied with the implementation of the Vision Hunt Decree, challenged Kujou Sara, the general of the Tenryou Commission, to a Gozen Duel. Unfortunately, he lost and was slain by the Raiden Shogun's Musou no Hitotachi. He escaped Inazuma with the empty shell of his Vision and was eventually rescued by Beidou."
"So, if we want to lift the Vision Hunt Decree and Sakoku Decree, we must also engage in a Gozen Duel with that general?"
"No!"
"Phew, good, you scared me."
"The Vision Hunt Decree is one thing, but the Sakoku Decree is the Raiden Shogun's understanding of eternity. If you want her to lift the Sakoku Decree, you must defeat the Raiden Shogun in a Gozen Duel."
"What? You have to defeat a god? How is that possible?"
"Indeed, generally speaking, Raiden Shogun Baal is among the top-tier combatants of the Seven Archons. Even for me, defeating her would not be an easy task. It is truly wishful thinking for a human to defeat a god."
"But your goal in seeking the Raiden Shogun isn't to defeat a god, is it?"
"Oh, right, we're just looking for the Raiden Shogun to ask her some questions. There's no need to become enemies with the Raiden Shogun just to lift the Vision Hunt Decree and Sakoku Decree."
"Heh heh, I hope so. Looking at the Traveler's achievements in Mondstadt and Liyue, I feel your journey to Inazuma won't be easy either. It's best to prepare in advance."
"Uh… it does seem that way."
"Actually, the Raiden Shogun also has a weakness. Defeating her in terms of strength is indeed impossible, but you can approach it from other angles, for example, by making her realize that her actions are wrong.
A war five hundred years ago caused Raiden Ei to lose her older sister, the former Raiden Shogun, and her friends Chiyo and Kitsune Saiguu. There was no one left by her side to assist her, and her personality changed drastically as a result.
To resist the corrosion of time, she used her own body to create the Raiden Shogun puppet, imbuing the puppet with her understanding of eternity, while she herself retreated into the Plane of Euthymia, her inner world, to remain detached from worldly affairs."
"So, there are two Raiden Shoguns?"
"That's right. So, reasoning with the Raiden Shogun puppet is useless. You must enter her Plane of Euthymia and communicate with Raiden Ei. However, once you enter the Plane of Euthymia, you enter the Raiden Shogun's domain, which is extremely dangerous."
"Wow, that's scary! Oh, by the way, Yuto, do you want to come to Inazuma with us?" After hearing Yuto's warning, Paimon looked at Yuto with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
Hearing Paimon's words, Zhongli, who had been listening silently nearby, also suddenly looked at Yuto, a serious expression appearing on his face. At present, he naturally hoped that Yuto could stay in Liyue as much as possible, at least until he had informed the Qixing about the secret of Chakra, he would not go anywhere.
"Me? I barely escaped Inazuma with my life back then. Why would I go back to be hunted? However, if Inazuma's Vision Hunt Decree and Sakoku Decree could be lifted, it wouldn't hurt to go back and take a look."
"I see. Indeed, you are also a Vision wielder. If you go back, you will be constantly hunted by that Tenryou Commission. Alas, if you could come with us, our journey would probably be much easier."
"Heh heh, then let's see if you can find a reason to convince me to go to Inazuma before The Crux Fleet returns."
"Hmph! We don't care! We can still thrive in Inazuma without your guidance."
In any case, this dinner party, ostensibly hosted by Zhongli but actually paid for by Yuto, concluded amidst everyone's casual conversation.
Since The Crux Fleet had not yet returned, Lumine and Paimon decided to first explore Liyue thoroughly, complete commissions for the Adventurers' Guild, search for ancient treasures, and so on. After all, they possessed a unique Talents and would not miss any treasure right before their eyes.
As for Zhongli, since Tartaglia, one of his wallets, had already returned to Snezhnaya to report, he could only send the bill to Hu Tao. If it weren't for the great effort he put into the Rite of Parting this time, earning a large sum of Mora, Hu Tao would have wanted to poke several transparent holes in him with the Staff of Homa.
As for Yuto, he lived in seclusion, constantly honing his Chakra, attempting to expand his Chakra reserves and extraction speed. To put it in gaming terms, he was increasing his maximum MP and recovery efficiency.
This pain of having ample ocular power but not enough Chakra to wield it immediately reminded Yuto of Kakashi in Naruto, giving him a sense of shared suffering. Despite being an elite Jonin of Konoha, a genius with extraordinary strength, Kakashi often ran out of Chakra after using Kamui a few times, which greatly diminished his coolness.
Yuto was the same; he possessed the strength to cut off Osial's three heads with a single strike, but he could only perform one such strike. Yuto did not want to experience such an embarrassing situation a second time. If someone were to jokingly call him 'not lasting long,' Yuto would lose face.
Thus, Yuto daily used the Shadow Clone Technique to create three Shadow Clones, simultaneously training Chakra refinement and consumption. It must be said that the Shadow Clone Technique is indeed a bugged ability; not only does it have a physical form and its own consciousness, but even learning experiences and what it sees and hears can be transmitted back to the original body.
No wonder Naruto, with his 'dead last' Talents, could rapidly increase his strength in the original work; the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique definitely contributed immensely. However, this training method is not replicable. If Yuto were to create dozens of Shadow Clones at once, like Naruto, without regard for the consequences, he would probably be completely drained.
As a member of the Uchiha Clan, his greatest cheat, the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, was already in his possession. What else could he do to increase his strength?
Besides Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu, and Kekkei Genkai, what else contributes to a ninja's strength?
At this moment, Yuto suddenly remembered something that could also be considered part of a ninja's strength.
