Zhong Kui's Diary
Split!
I split!
I split again!
I gritted my teeth and tried again and again, but no matter how I attempted, this Yin-Yang Energy remained an inseparable whole.
Just when I was at my wit's end, the voice of the Wind Rooster rang in my ears: "Hey, Master, are you going crazy? Why do you look so unsatisfied?"
I sighed in despair and explained the situation. To my surprise, the Wind Rooster laughed heartily: "Master, you just want to separate the Yin-Yang Energy, right?"
"From your tone, it seems you have a way?" I asked in astonishment.
"Of course! But you have to agree to one condition, and then I'll tell you how!" the Wind Rooster chuckled.
"Alright, I agree!" Just thinking about the crisis of being devoured by the Giant Porcupine Water Monster, I felt that any condition was acceptable.
"The next time there's an opportunity, you have to first merge with my Mysterious Realm Golden Sphere," the Wind Rooster said with a grin.
"Can we change that condition? I've already promised Ice Pop," I frowned. During the incident in the Mariana Trench, I had promised Ice Pop that next time there was an opportunity, I would first merge with the Frozen Boundless Realm.
"What are you afraid of? A man is a man; if you don't admit it, then don't! If you regret it, then so be it!" The Wind Rooster encouraged me persuasively.
"Are you not afraid that I might regret it later?" I asked the Wind Rooster with a smile.
"...That's true," the Wind Rooster replied helplessly. "Then forget it; let me tell you how to split the Yin-Yang Energy. After all, if you die, I won't have another chance to merge with you. Remember this: Om Mo Hong Na Weng Cuo Kan Mu Chi Suo. Recite this incantation silently, and you'll be able to freely split and combine the Yin-Yang Energy."
The incantation wasn't very difficult; I learned it after reciting it three times. I tried it out immediately, and sure enough, the Yin-Yang Energy was easily separated by me. Overjoyed, I activated the Spell again, channeling energy: Devouring Energy to my Thumb, Lightning Magic to my Index Finger, Fire Elemental Magic to my Middle Finger, and the separated Yin-Yang Energy was sent to my Ring Finger, while Yin Energy was directed into my Pinky.
With my five fingers together, I used my mental technique to merge these five energies into one and then struck out with a punch.
The grand scene I imagined did not materialize; there was nothing happening before my eyes.
Where was that magnificent scene of the earth shaking and the sky collapsing? Where was the overwhelming spectacle of darkness and gloom, where the sun and moon lost their light and sand flew while ghosts howled? Where was that epic scene of mountains crumbling and rivers drying up, where thunder roared in winter and rain fell in summer, daring to sever ties with you?
Damn, it seemed this so-called Kill You Divine Skill was just a joke made by those before me. How could there possibly be such a crude name for a technique in this world?
Seeing me standing there in a daze, Wind Rooster asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Did you hit a wall?"
"This Divine Skill is completely useless!" I said with a bitter smile.
"How do you know it's useless?" Wind Rooster replied in surprise.
"I just threw a punch, and there was no grand scene at all," I said dejectedly.
"Master, are you really foolish or just pretending?" Wind Rooster chuckled lightly.
"What do you mean?" I retorted angrily.
"You punched into empty space; how could it possibly have any effect? Whether it's magical power or punch strength, there needs to be a point of impact," Wind Rooster laughed heartily several times before continuing, "Master, if you're just testing its effectiveness, I can materialize something for you to try."
That made sense; I turned my anger into laughter. "Alright then, create something substantial for me. That way, when I shatter it with a punch, I'll feel a sense of accomplishment!"
"Satisfaction? Master, are you looking for a sense of achievement?" Wind Rooster asked in surprise.
"Stop the nonsense!" I said fiercely.
Wind Rooster smiled lightly and began to chant, causing several dark clouds to appear, slowly changing shapes. As Wind Rooster's voice grew louder, the clouds rolled more violently, eventually resembling a pot of boiling ink.
"Fast!" With a loud shout from Wind Rooster, the dark clouds solidified into a black castle. The castle then slowly descended, landing about ten meters in front of me, towering like a mountain and exuding an oppressive aura.
"Alright, this guy is big enough. Go ahead and punch it to see what happens," Wind Rooster said with a grin.
I hesitantly stepped forward and tapped the wall of the Black Castle with my finger. Wow, it felt just like the real thing—extremely solid.
Channeling five streams of energy within me, I gathered them in my palm and threw a punch. As my fist struck the castle wall, I faintly heard a sound of cracking, and then I saw several fissures radiate out from where my fist made contact.
"It doesn't seem that impressive," I retracted my fist and shook my head in dissatisfaction. "I thought I could shatter the whole castle with one punch."
"Be content! You should know that Wind Sweeping Away the Clouds is equivalent to my domain. In my domain, being able to crack my materialized castle with one punch is already quite impressive magic. Besides, your magic power has only recovered to two-sevenths. If you fully recover, you would definitely shatter this castle with one punch!" Wind Rooster laughed.
Hearing this from Wind Rooster, I felt much better. "With this level of power, that guy outside should be no problem, right?"
"Not necessarily. That punch you threw just now belongs to the ultimate skill of Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts..."
"Wait, wait! What do you mean by Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts?"
"Uh, it means that when you throw a punch, it combines both physical and magical attacks," Wind Rooster pondered for a moment. "However, because your magic power hasn't fully recovered yet, your magical attack wasn't very effective just now, but your physical attack was quite powerful."
"Stop digressing! Just tell me if I can defeat that Water Monster," I said irritably, not caring that I had brought up the topic myself.
"If that guy outside has learned magic, your punch might not be enough to deal with it. But if it's just an ordinary Water Monster, then your punch would definitely be able to take it down," Wind Rooster replied with a smile.
"Have you ever seen a Water Monster that has learned magic? Damn, is that even possible? Haha..." I laughed a couple of times, but then my laughter abruptly stopped as I thought of the Turtle Chancellor. Isn't it just a Water Monster that has learned magic?
This Giant Porcupine Water Monster outside shouldn't have learned magic, right? Otherwise, why didn't it use magic to attack me from the start?
Regardless of whether it has learned magic or not, I have to face it! Gritting my teeth, I gathered energy in my palm before diving back underwater.
As soon as I returned to the water, I noticed that the tongue of the Giant Porcupine Water Monster had already touched my face. Startled, I swung my fist and struck its head.
Thud!
Even underwater, I could hear a muffled sound.
My fist hit the Water Monster's face, feeling like I had struck a car tire—tough yet elastic, the rubbery sensation was very evident.
The Water Monster was knocked back five or six meters by my punch. Perhaps due to the pain, it trembled violently all over. At least my punch didn't kill it.
Damn, could this creature really have learned magic? Otherwise, how could it possibly survive?
I couldn't think too much about that now. Channeling my Spell, I infused energy into my right hand again. One punch didn't kill you? Let's see if you can take another one.
As I slowly approached it, the Water Monster seemed to become frightened. It flailed its limbs and suddenly turned to sink down towards the bottom of the cliff.
Hmph, it's good to know you're scared. I sighed in relief; honestly, I was quite nervous myself, fearing that this Water Monster might suddenly unleash a powerful move like Meteor Fist on me.
Stepping down the cliff, the most important thing right now was to quickly find the Giant Gate Platform and activate the magic circle.
After sinking more than a hundred meters, my watch displayed a depth of 68 meters. The surrounding pressure was starting to make me uncomfortable; however, thankfully, the flashlight wrapped in bubbles was still functioning normally.
After walking more than two hundred meters, I saw two huge stones. One was round, while the other was square. From a distance, they looked like two giant toy blocks that had accidentally fallen into the water.
As I got closer, I noticed a round pit about ten meters in diameter between the two giant stones. Wait, wasn't Jin Manyuan supposed to be next to the round pit with the two huge stones? Could it be that some Giant Porcupine Water Monster thought this pit was nice and decided to make it its nest? Did it move these stones here as markers?
I approached and shone my flashlight down into the pit, and I immediately felt relieved; the pit wasn't deep, about fifteen or sixteen meters. The interior was clear and empty; there was no Water Monster inside.
After pondering for a moment, I slightly exerted my legs and jumped up to stand on the square stone, shining my flashlight around. There were no abnormalities in the surroundings.
It seemed I was being overly suspicious.
Shaking my head, I jumped into the round pit and quickly sank to the bottom. I kicked at the mud and sand on the bottom, and indeed, amidst the swirling sediment, I saw a Metal Plate below.
I set my flashlight aside and scraped away the thin layer of mud above it, finding the round Metal Cover. Gripping the center hole tightly, I pulled with force, and the Metal Cover was lifted off. Placing it aside, beneath the Metal Plate was a metal pit with an eighty-centimeter diameter. In the center was a yellowish Metal Hemisphere, and despite being underwater, hundreds of silver Starbursts floated and danced above the hemisphere.
I placed my palm over the groove on top of the Metal Hemisphere, and my Yin-Yang Energy slowly flowed into my palm. Once the Xuan Ju Men Scroll in my palm solidified, a suction force attached it to the surface of the Metal Hemisphere. Just like with the previous two magic circles, the yellowish Giant Gate Platform turned black, and those silver light dots suddenly vanished.
However, this time something felt off; I could sense a slight tremor throughout the bottom of the water.
It seemed that things were getting serious. I quickly covered the Metal Cover back up and prepared to retreat upward with my flashlight. Just as I shone the light upward, my scalp tingled sharply because I saw that the two giant stones originally beside the pit were crashing down toward me.
