Zhong Kui's Diary
I got up and walked out of the room, climbing up sixteen floors to return to the room of the White-Clad Woman. The room had already returned to its original state, and she was sitting on the edge of the bed, smiling at me. "You don't need to be so excited; why jump so high? Just properly showcase your... Divine Skill."
I looked at the White-Clad Woman with a wry smile. "But I just showcased it."
"You think jumping up and sitting down is what they call Divine Skill?" the White-Clad Woman asked in surprise.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, I scratched my head and nodded.
"This move of yours lacks power!" the White-Clad Woman frowned. "Hmm, do you have other Dual Attack of Magic and Martial Arts techniques? Something with more power?"
"I only have four moves in this Divine Skill, and this is the most powerful one," I said, rubbing my nose.
"I see..." The White-Clad Woman shook her head. "But this move of yours still isn't powerful enough."
"How about you help me break the illusion?" I suggested shyly.
"Absolutely not," the White-Clad Woman firmly refused.
"Why not?"
"Because I am part of this illusion; how could I possibly break it myself?" The White-Clad Woman slowly shook her head, then pondered for a moment before saying, "How about this: show me your techniques, and let's see if there's a way to improve them."
I took out the book "Kill You Divine Skill" from my Mustard Seed Pendant and handed it to the White-Clad Woman. "Here it is!"
The White-Clad Woman glanced at the cover and flipped through the pages without much reaction. After reading through the entire book, she thought for a moment and asked, "How much energy do you currently have inside you?"
I counted on my fingers. "Lightning Magic, Fire Elemental Magic, Wind Elemental Magic, Yin-Yang Energy, Devouring Energy—these six are the fundamental energies. Then, using the Washing Marrow and Strengthening Tendons Classic, I synthesized Yang Fire Energy, Yin Fire Energy, Yang Thunder Energy, Yin Thunder Energy, and Thunderfire Energy—five more types of energy. That should be enough for me to use my most powerful move; I'll just sit here and defeat you."
"I understand now; the problem lies with your synthesized energy. This synthesized energy is not Origin energy; it's merely a facade. If you don't believe me, try using Origin energy for a move right now," the White-Clad Woman said slowly.
The energy of Origin includes Lightning Magic, Fire Elemental Magic, Wind Elemental Magic, Yin-Yang Energy, and Devouring Energy. However, Devouring Energy is far less abundant than the first five energies, and mixed in with them, its power is likely not significant according to the principle of weaknesses.
I summoned the five purest and most abundant energies and gritted my teeth to unleash a move called "I’ll Punch You to Death."
When my fist struck the wall, the entire wall seemed to be hit by a massive Hammer, shattering debris flying everywhere. Not only that, but my fist's wind pierced through the walls of dozens of Cabins. Looking around, the layers of walls were reduced to ruins, creating a visually stunning effect. I could also feel the entire Giant Ship shaking from my punch, and this shaking continued for about ten seconds before it slowly came to a stop.
"How many moves is that?" the White-Clad Woman laughed and said, "I didn't hear you shout out the name of your technique!"
"This is the first move!" I replied somewhat frustrated. If it weren't for you being a girl, I would have shouted it out long ago. Besides, "I’ll Punch You to Death" uses my fist, while "I Kick You to Death" uses my foot; can’t you tell the difference?
"Well, not bad. If you can use the next move, this illusion should be broken," the White-Clad Woman nodded and smiled at me. "Didn’t you just count six types of energy? You should be able to use the second move."
"That energy isn't as abundant as these five," I rubbed my nose and said with a wry smile.
At that moment, the wall began to return to its original state.
"Oh? What kind of energy is that?" the White-Clad Woman frowned and asked. "Let me see if I can help you enhance it."
"Devouring Energy, not sure if you've heard of it?"
"That kind of wandering energy beyond the Yin-Yang Realms?" A glimmer of interest flashed in the White-Clad Woman's eyes, but she quickly shook her head with a wry smile. "I thought I misheard you just now; it turns out there really is such energy. If that's the case, I'm powerless to help."
"Is this energy really that impressive?" I asked in surprise. Ever since I fused with Devouring Energy, before reaching Grandmaster Level, all my fighting relied heavily on it. However, Devouring Energy only enhanced my strength; it had nothing to do with Spells. For example, I couldn't defeat Lou Wei before, but after fully integrating with Devouring Soul's energy, I could beat him—just that little bit of effect.
Once I gained Lightning Magic and became a Grandmaster-level Expert, encountering various powerful beings meant using magic directly; it seemed like the era of relying on brute force was now history. Because of this, in my mind, the energy from Devouring Soul felt like a useless existence—tasteless yet regrettable to discard.
But now, seeing a look of envy in the eyes of this White-Clad Woman made me quite astonished.
"You possess Devouring Energy, yet you don't know its effects?" The White-Clad Woman looked at me curiously as if I were some kind of monster.
"I accidentally came to possess it, and I'm not very familiar with it. Besides giving me a bit more strength when I fight, it doesn't serve any other purpose. Why, you look quite surprised?" I said with a smile.
"I see..." The White-Clad Woman's eyes flickered as she pondered for a while before awkwardly smiling and saying, "Actually, I'm surprised because Devouring Energy is quite rare; it's not that it has much use."
After a pause, the White-Clad Woman continued, "It has more symbolic meaning. It's like the relationship between gold and Cake; a pound of Cake and a pound of gold can have a price difference of thousands, but during special times, can you eat gold? Cake can be eaten!"
I scratched my head. "Your example is quite vivid. So what you mean is that my Devouring Energy is just for show?"
"Pretty much," the White-Clad Woman nodded, frowning in thought for a moment before saying, "In that case, if you want to use the second move, you'll need another source of energy, which is a bit troublesome... Hmm, right now you have Lightning Magic, Fire Elemental Magic, and Wind Elemental Magic in your body. You've already gathered three of the Six Major Elemental Energies. If you could master one more of the remaining three elemental energies, that would be great."
"Six Major Elemental Energies?" I asked curiously. "I've only heard of the classification based on the five elements: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth. What are your six elements?"
"Wind, Fire, Earth, Ice, Thunder, Darkness—those are the Six Major Elemental Energies," the White-Clad Woman said slowly.
"Ice is one of them?" I exclaimed in surprise. "I thought it would be Water."
"Ice is another form of water. Some people classify it as 'Wind, Fire, Earth, Water, Electricity, Darkness,' where electricity and thunder are considered one concept," the White-Clad Woman nodded.
"I see..." I hesitated for a moment and took out the Frozen Boundless Realm golden sphere. "I actually have an Ice Realm golden sphere here; however, merging it won't be easy."
"Ice Realm?" The White-Clad Woman exclaimed in surprise. "You actually have an Ice Realm?"
"What's wrong? Is this Mystical Realm very special?" I instinctively used common vocabulary.
"Uh... this kind of Mystical Realm isn't particularly impressive; it's the person who made the Mysterious Realm Golden Sphere who is impressive. A long time ago, when Sun God’s heir Yang Ding fought against Moon Demon heir Yin Jiuyou in their final battle, they created some Mystical Realms like this primarily for use as hidden weapons," the White-Clad Woman said with a strange expression on her face that seemed to mix amusement and anger.
Using them as hidden weapons? I felt surprised yet found it somewhat amusing. It was hard to imagine what it would be like when two top experts were battling each other while throwing stones at eggs.
I vaguely recalled someone once telling me that Yang Ding and Yin Jiuyou had fallen out over a girl and were sharpening their knives to prepare for a big fight when they discovered that girl had already been taken by Judgment of Life and Death. Then they turned from enemies to friends and went to another world together... At that time, I was quite surprised by this gossip; right, Wind Rooster told me about it.
"However, the elemental energy contained within this Ice Realm is extremely pure." The White-Clad Woman changed her tone and pointed at the golden orb I was holding, saying, "As long as you absorb its energy, you will be able to perform the second move of this Divine Skill."
Do you really need to tell me that? The ice in this Icebound Expanse has been eager to merge with me for a while now, but there hasn't been an opportunity. I smiled wryly and said, "I want to merge with it too, but I just don't have the ability."
I then shared my methods for merging the ice with the White-Clad Woman. After listening, she smiled brightly and said, "Actually, it doesn't need to be that complicated. I have a very simple method... Hey, are you listening to me?"
I was captivated by the charm of the White-Clad Woman's smile until she called out to me. Embarrassed, I rubbed my nose and said, "Heh heh, your smile just now was really beautiful; it made me lose focus."
The White-Clad Woman glanced at me without scolding and continued, "I'll give you a pill, and then you can enter the Mystical Realm. Let the guardian inside the Mystical Realm hit or kick you, and the ice magic will merge with you."
With that, the White-Clad Woman extended her right hand and opened her palm. In her hand was a red pill about the size of a ping pong ball, vibrant and full of color. At the same time, a fragrance wafted through the air.
"Another pill!" I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
"What's wrong?" The White-Clad Woman frowned slightly. "Do you have a prejudice against pills?"
"Not at all; it's just that throughout this Mystical Realm journey, I've already consumed quite a few pills." I smiled as I took the pill from her hand, tossed it into my mouth, and began to chew.
"How is it?" The White-Clad Woman asked me with a smile. "Although I made it myself, I don't know what it tastes like."
