According to Lu Xiao, the quest lines in Sekiro World are divided into two.
One of them is the war line between Naifu and Ashina on the surface, and the other is the Ryu-Yin line related to Sakuraryu.
In the original game plot, the description of the end of the war line was slightly weak, and the players were powerless to change Ashina's inevitable fate.
In the process of cutting off immortality, the wolf even killed the last three of Ashina's seven guns, which in disguise accelerated the demise of Ashina's country.
In Lu Xiao's view, the fundamental conflict between Jiulang and Genichiro lies in the use of Longyin's power. In this case, it would be better for both sides to avoid this topic.
Genichiro did not use Kuro's power of dragon Yin, but instead sought the power of the insect possessor to force the inner government back, while Kuro continued his plan to kill the immortal.
Although the power of Dragon Yin and the Insect Possessor both come from the same source, the principles of their production are still different after all.
As long as Kuro takes Sakura Dragon Tears, he can cut off the power of Ryūin, but as long as Sakura Dragon continues to exist in Ashina, the source water affected by its immortal power will never lose its effect.
In despair, Genichiro finally grabbed a life-saving straw. Eager to verify, he hurriedly said goodbye to Kuro and left, sending out his eagles to find the source of the source of the water.
After Genichiro left, Jiuro looked at Lu Xiao with a somewhat complicated look, but in the end he did not say anything accusatory.
Yongzhen's expression was also a little solemn. After bidding farewell to Kuro, she hurried to the annex of the castle where Isshin was training, intending to tell Isshin what happened here.
Lu Xiao does not plan to meet Yixin for the time being, after all, the things he promised Yixin after getting the secret book have not yet been completed.
"Kuro, this is the specific location where I hid the treasure of Xianfeng Temple."
Before leaving, Lu Xiao handed a simple map to Jiulang.
"It's up to you how you want to use it. You can give it to Genichiro, or you can leave part of the treasure for the rest of your life."
After severing immortality, Kuro will transform from the immortal son of Ryū Yin back into an ordinary person. He who has lost his use value will probably no longer be held high by Genichiro. Kuro will eventually have to worry about the funds needed for daily life.
Leaving the choice to Jiulang himself, after leaving the castle tower, Lu Xiao turned on the aura blocker to avoid the eagles hiding in various parts of the castle.
Next, he needs to find three materials for refining the incense of the source. Among them, the stone of knotting is located in the deepest part of Shuishi Village, a hidden village in the bottom of Ashina. To get it, in addition to avoiding those hospitable villagers
In addition, you must also pass the test of the phantom monk who broke the precepts.
The Changzakura tree brought by my father-in-law from the Source Palace was taken away by a certain Ashina boy, and he couldn't get it until he took the initiative to commit suicide.
The fragrant water lily is located at the drinking place of the Lion Ape deep in the Valley of the Fall, and is personally guarded by this powerful insect-possessing giant ape.
Based on the location where the Magikarp King fell to the lower realm after his death, it can be concluded that the place where the lion ape drinks water is where the source water of the Source Palace fell. Sooner or later, Genichiro will find there and have a conflict with the leo ape.
Ordinary soldiers are no match for the immortal lion ape. If you want to kill this insect-possessed giant ape, you must use the special ability of the immortal slash.
After deciding the order, Lu Xiao immediately set off outside the city. After finding a broken bridge, he walked down all the way and came to a steep valley.
When entering the valley, the hair on Lu Xiao's body immediately stood up.
The strong sense of threat made him subconsciously squat in the grass to temporarily observe the situation.
From time to time, Lu Xiao could hear "rumbling" sounds that came near and far away, as if there was some kind of huge object shuttling back and forth in the valley.
'Is it the White Snake God?'
Lu Xiao didn't know if the Great White Snake, called the White Snake God by Ashina locals, was a real god, but judging from the game's plot, the White Snake "god" could be killed, but it would be more difficult.
"boom!"
Another crashing sound came, this time very close to the grass where Lu Xiao was hiding. He could even smell the unique fishy smell of the snake and heard the hissing sound of tongue sticking out.
Sure enough, Lu Xiao, who was holding his breath, soon saw a huge snake head protruding from the valley.
It seemed to be aware of Lu Xiao's existence through the innate instinct of animals, but it was unable to locate where he was hiding.
If possible, Lu Xiao didn't want to fight with such a huge creature like Cang Lanxing, which was destined to be a time-consuming and labor-intensive process.
But this white snake completely blocked Lu Xiao's path further into the Valley of Fall, and it seemed to have no intention of leaving for a while.
'There is nothing we can do.'
He continued to hide in the grass and observed the nearby terrain.
The bottom of the deep valley cannot be seen at all, and the irregular rocks nearby make it difficult to find a suitable platform for fighting.
If you don't have the ability to fly, once you are swept down from a small foothold by the White Snake God, you are almost certain to be GG.
Facing this giant creature with strong scales, the Hidden Blade and the Holy Sword of Eden may only be able to scratch it, but the Odachi Sword can perform better.
After observing the terrain, Lu Xiao quickly pulled out the Immortal Slash from the scabbard while the White Snake God turned his head to look behind him.
The red aura emanating from the blade immediately alerted the White Snake God, and the huge snake head suddenly turned in the direction of Lu Xiao.
At the same time, Lu Xiao kicked the ground hard and popped up. The surging air allowed the White Snake God to determine the enemy's position. He screamed angrily and hit Lu Xiao with his head.
When the positions of the two sides were about to overlap and intersect, Lu Xiao, who was in mid-air, slightly activated the floating ability of the magic floating cloak, stopped slightly in mid-air and moved slightly to the left.
At the same time as he missed the impact of the White Snake God, Lu Xiao stretched out his leg to the left and stepped lightly, just on the side of the snake head passing by, avoiding the head-on collision of the White Snake God.
The fully charged Immortal Slash was enveloped by a large red stream of light, and it severely cut into the snake behind the neck of the White Snake God.
The strong snake scales were like paper under the sharp blade of Immortal Slash. They were cut open in an instant, and the snake blood spurted out and sprayed all over Lu Xiao's body.
In pain, the White Snake God twisted its body crazily, and its thick tail quickly approached from the distant valley, apparently intending to use its tail to sneak attack and hurt its enemy from behind.
"hiss!"
The immortal sword finally cut vertically out of the white snake's body. Lu Xiao, who deliberately used too much force, did a somersault in mid-air, kicked his legs hard on the white snake god's body, and headed towards the foothold he had spotted before the battle began.
Approaching quickly.
"boom!"
The ferocious snake's tail happened to sweep past the position where Lu Xiao was before, and hit the cliff with unabated force.
The entire valley seemed to tremble in the anger of the White Snake God. Lu Xiao used many lever points on the mountain wall to quickly shift his position. Before the White Snake God could sort out the order of his tail and head, he quietly came to a place on the opposite side of the valley.
A broader platform.
There is still a broken sedan chair on this platform, which should be the container used by the residents of Ashina Kingdom to offer sacrifices to the White Snake God.
The selected unlucky ones will be tied in a sedan chair and allowed to be eaten by the White Snake God to prevent the hungry and angry White Snake God from attacking the densely populated areas of Ashina Kingdom.
In the magical world of Sekiro, where ghosts and gods exist, Lu Xiao has no intention of commenting on whether this practice of sacrificing human beings is right or wrong. After all, this is the custom of the locals in Weiming Country.
The extremely angry White Snake God subconsciously avoided the broken sedan. At least it knew that this sedan was its "lunch box".
The angry white snake swam several times in the valley, and objects such as rocks and snowballs began to fall from the rumbling valley.
Lu Xiao gathered his breath and hid in the sedan without moving, letting the White Snake God wreak havoc in the valley. This sedan was the only safe haven in the current situation.
The injured White Snake God vented his anger everywhere, but still failed to catch the ant that hurt him, and finally turned his attention to his "lunch box".
Snakes have poor vision. They do not rely on their eyes to confirm the location of the target. Instead, they feel the subtle vibrations in the air through their tongues and use the olfactory receptors on their tongues to sense the outside world.
Lu Xiao, who was in the breath blocking state, could block all the information emitted by himself. Looking at Snake Xin who had entered the sedan, Lu Xiao used underwater breathing skills to temporarily hold his breath until the White Snake God found nothing and was ready to evacuate.
Suddenly burst out.
The Immortal Sword held in his hand was unsheathed with Iai's movement. While cutting the sedan chair, he used the power technique of Ashina's Cross Slash to make two cuts in front of the nose of the White Snake God.
The blade wrapped in crimson aura effortlessly sliced open the snake's head, and the smelly blood spurted out again.
"hiss!"
A shrill scream came from the snake's mouth, and foul-smelling saliva sprayed on Lu Xiao's face.
Lu Xiao had no time to care about hygiene issues at this time. After accumulating power in a short period of time, Lu Xiao jumped high on the broken snake nose.
"The last resort!"
The thick crimson spiritual energy, accompanied by the heavy buzzing sound of the Odachi swing, struck heavily on the top of the White Snake God's forehead.
