Zhong Kui's Diary
In an instant, memories surged to the forefront of my mind.
In the pavilion of Chaoyang City, Jin Manyuan, weary of the mortal world and devoid of any attachments, liberally handed me The Scroll of the Greedy Wolf...
In the living room of Tang Family Villa, Tang the Elder, disheartened by Huang Lao's death, despondently gave me the Xuan Ju Men Scroll...
In the Abandoned Building of Moon City, the Eerie Spirit Ghost Gong Ping'an ultimately placed the Kaiyang Wuqiu Scroll, obtained from Yang Zhou, into my hands...
At the Gate of the Dark Moon in the Land of Eternal Sleep, Lin Tao decided to change the method of opening the Land of Eternal Sleep and gifted me the original key, the Jade Record Volume...
At the Satellite Launch Base, after Hua Wuqiu possessed Flower Attacker and perished alongside Gao Youdi, I found the Jade Balance and Integrity Scroll at the scene...
At Sha Zhiyuan's company, I exchanged a Yin-Yang Ancient Coin with Jiang Ziyu for the Jiwen Wuqiu Scroll...
Unknowingly, I had already collected six volumes of the Book of Life and Death. Now, this box before me likely contains the final volume—the Yao Guang Breaking Army Scroll.
My heart was a mix of emotions: relief and confusion, excitement and fear, satisfaction and disappointment... This feeling is truly difficult to describe in words.
After a long while, I took a deep breath, retrieved the box from the safe, and opened it. A page as large as a business card floated out from within, hovering in mid-air and slowly rising and falling. One half of the page was dark red with a Ring pattern, while the other half was deep blue with a ripple pattern. The text on the page flowed gently along with its patterns.
It truly is the Book of Life and Death; it truly is the Yao Guang Breaking Army Scroll!
If I were to take this page of the Book of Life and Death into my possession now, I would have gathered all Seven Pages of Fragmented Scrolls from the Book of Life and Death. That means I could now summon Judgment of Life and Death.
Could it be that I can enter the Hall of Life and Death now?
Could it be that I can summon Judgment of Life and Death now?
Can I modify the Book of Life and Death right now?
...
But how can I enter the Hall of Life and Death?
Then, how can I summon the Judgment of Life and Death?
And how can I modify the Book of Life and Death?
...
Could it be that if I combine the Seven Pages of Fragmented Scrolls, the Judgment of Life and Death will suddenly pop up and greet me?
Honestly, everything is happening so suddenly that my mind is in a whirl, and I have no idea what I should do next.
A light cough came from behind me. Startled, I turned around to see Sun Ding looking astonished, pointing at a page from the Book of Life and Death: "Mr. Zhong, what is this?"
I finally reacted, putting the Book of Life and Death back into the box, and casually said, "This is a high-tech toy invented in Japan. You must know that Japan's electronic technology is quite impressive, right?"
"Oh," Sun Ding nodded with a relieved expression, smiling as he said, "Of course! Things like vibrating eggs or massage sticks—any electronic product with 'made in Japan' on it must be at the forefront of technology and fashion."
I laughed heartily and patted Sun Ding on the shoulder: "I can tell you are a knowledgeable person. Your girlfriend must be proud of you!"
"I'm flattered! Reading thousands of books doesn't compare to watching thousands of films; the ancients truly did not deceive me!" Sun Ding said with a beaming smile.
Amid our laughter, I closed the safe door, returned the key to Sun Ding, completed the necessary procedures upstairs, and then returned home.
I didn't call Lou Wei immediately; instead, I felt it was better to study this Book of Life and Death first. I called Kong Xuan over, and with Qingcheng and Nan Kong present, we were all gathered. As for Guo'er, I asked her to return to Chaoyang City first; just in case something went wrong, having her around without any spellcasting ability would not be helpful.
Upon learning that I had obtained the final volume of the Book of Life and Death, Kong Xuan was initially surprised, then frowned and said, "When did such an old man emerge? I don't even know who he is; he seems quite mysterious. Moreover, he mailed you the Yao Guang Breaking Army Scroll a year ago. Tsk tsk, this person is too kind-hearted, isn't he?"
Qingcheng furrowed her brows and said, "I feel like this person doesn't have good intentions."
"Why do you think that?" I asked Qingcheng, feeling somewhat puzzled.
"There's no reason; it's just a feeling. Don't you know that a woman's sixth sense is very keen?" Qingcheng gave me an answer that left me speechless.
"Let's put that aside for now. The most important question is that I have now gathered all the volumes of the Book of Life and Death. So the question arises: how can I summon the Judgment of Life and Death?" I pondered aloud, expressing my confusion.
"As long as you fuse them all together, it will be fine," Kong Xuan replied.
After thinking for a moment, I took out the box containing the Yao Guang Breaking Army Scroll from the Mustard Seed Pendant and also retrieved the other six pages that had already been fused together from the Book of Life and Death. Taking a deep breath, I opened the box, and the Yao Guang Breaking Army Scroll floated in mid-air, slowly rising and falling.
"What are you planning to do?" Qingcheng asked in surprise. "Are you going to fuse them right now?"
"Yes!" I nodded and casually tossed the box onto the ground.
"What if the Judgment of Life and Death suddenly takes you to the Hall of Life and Death or comes out looking for you with the Book of Life and Death? What will you do then?" Qingcheng frowned.
"What else can I do? Just let the current number one live to eight hundred years old," I shrugged with a bitter smile. "After all, number one is doing quite well right now; he's ruthless against corrupt officials internally and not afraid of threats from certain beastly countries externally."
Qingcheng exchanged glances with Kong Xuan, both nodding in agreement and no longer trying to stop me.
Chanting the spell, the Yao Guang Breaking Army Scroll slowly drifted toward the six fused pages of the Book of Life and Death. When the Yao Guang Breaking Army Scroll touched the other six volumes, a dazzling white light erupted at their point of contact. I could vaguely see that the Yao Guang Breaking Army Scroll was slowly dissolving, much like melting chocolate, as it gradually merged with the Seven Pages of Life and Death Manual.
After about ten seconds, I felt something was off because when the previous six pages of the Book of Life and Death fused together, it only took two or three seconds. But now it had been so long; the Yao Guang Breaking Army Scroll had completely merged. At this point, the spell should have stopped, yet this white light continued to emit a blinding glow without any signs of stopping.
Squinting my eyes to observe it more closely, after another half minute, I could no longer hold back. Just as I was about to call out to Kong Xuan to ask what was going on, she suddenly shouted at me, "Zheng Nan, quickly grab hold of the Book of Life and Death!"
Hearing this, I was momentarily stunned, but I didn't think too much about it. I reached out my hands toward the stack of the Book of Life and Death at the center of the white light.
"Don't touch it!" Just as my hands were about to make contact with the Book of Life and Death, I heard Kong Xuan's stern shout beside me.
One moment I was told to grab it, and the next moment I was told not to touch it. What was going on with Kong Xuan?
Before I could react, an exceptionally fierce and massive energy surged into my hands. The energy was both cold and hot, both yin and yang; it was unmistakably the Yin-Yang Energy that I was very familiar with.
However, this familiar Yin-Yang Energy felt strangely foreign at this moment, as if a clumsy neighbor had barged into my room without regard for the female neighbors who usually had a good impression of him, recklessly running around, twisting here and touching there... The Devouring Energy, Lightning Magic, and Fire Elemental Magic within me felt like they were trying to shield themselves from the chaos, only able to scream and dodge while occasionally mustering the courage to intercept, yet they were utterly unable to withstand the onslaught of this violent energy.
The situation felt like a mountain pressing down on me, an overwhelming force crashing in like a bulldozer careening through flimsy paper barriers.
After breaking through the defenses of Devouring Energy and Lightning Magic, this Yin-Yang Energy began racing through my meridians at high speed, heading straight for my Dantian Qi Sea. Seeing this, the Devouring Energy and Lightning Magic desperately chased after it because the Dantian was the stronghold of all energy and magical power; it could not be compromised.
But no matter how hard they tried to catch up, they always fell just short of the invading Yin-Yang Energy. Finally, with a thunderous crash, that violent Yin-Yang Energy collided with my Dantian without hesitation.
At that moment, all the energy within me—whether it was my Devouring Energy or Thunderfire magic—along with the violently intruding Yin-Yang Energy—was compressed into one extreme point. Then it rapidly expanded, creating a ring-shaped airflow centered around my Dantian. In an instant, this ring swept through all my meridians; after being brushed by this airflow, my meridians suddenly expanded and contracted violently, and then... there was nothing left.
Yes, there was nothing left; all energy within me had vanished.
My Devouring Energy was gone!
My Lightning Magic was gone!
My Fire Elemental Magic was gone!
I seemed to return to two years ago when I had nothing but physical strength and no magical power at all.
Even more bizarrely, that stack of merged Books of Life and Death directly disappeared from my palm as if they had melted away in my grasp.
What is going on? What exactly happened?
"Zheng Nan, how are you?" Kong Xuan shouted beside me.
"I don't know!" I looked at Kong Xuan in shock. "It seems like all my magical power has disappeared."
"All your magical power has disappeared? You mean, you have no Lightning Magic or Fire Elemental Magic left?" Kong Xuan was greatly astonished.
I nodded.
Kong Xuan gasped, "Can you try casting a Nine Divine Thunder?"
I formed the spell and pointed at the wall for a while, then shook my head dejectedly. "It’s useless; there isn’t a trace of magical power in my body."
"How could this happen?" Kong Xuan frowned and paused before loudly scolding me, "Have you lost your mind or what? Why did you suddenly touch that Book of Life and Death?"
"Weren't you the one who told me to grab the Book of Life and Death?" I glared at Kong Xuan.
