Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Shuiyue Jingxiang beca lost in thought for a long ti, and then a bitter expression surfaced in her eyes, "Unfortunately, I am not going to live..."
Shuiyue Jingxiang had always felt that seeking revenge against Su Chen was her only reason to keep living.
But now, at this mont, she truly ca close to the Death God.
Only then did she understand.
What had been sustaining her life.
Was not seeking revenge against Su Chen.
But...
She didn't want to die...
She was afraid of death!
Regrettably, it seems a bit too late now that she understands.
"Hmm?" Su Chen's expression changed, as he also noticed sothing was wrong with Shuiyue Jingxiang.
Although his punch just now had caused significant harm to Shuiyue Jingxiang.
It shouldn't have been fatal.
"My mother, she perford a Forbidden Technique, offering her soul to the Shikigami... She's about to die..." Nishijiu sobbed.
"How can we save her?" Su Chen frowned.
He actually didn't wish for Shuiyue Jingxiang to die.
"There's no way now. Without its master, the Shikigami will return to the void Space, and by then, my mother's soul will also enter the void Space along with it. Human souls cannot exist in the void Space..."
Su Chen did not understand much about Shikigami or their principles, so he wasn't sure what to do for the ti being.
"If the Shikigami had a new master, wouldn't it an they don't have to return to the void Space?" Su Chen thought and said.
He had rely made a casual remark.
But to his surprise, Nishijiu's eyes lit up, "Maybe it's possible."
But soon, her gaze dimd again as she said, "But I am not a Magician, and there's no ti to find another Magician now."
"Is it difficult to beco a Magician?" Su Chen inquired.
"Of course, it's difficult. To beco a Magician, one must gain the Shikigami's acknowledgnt. But even the lowest Shikigami are incredibly proud and generally do not submit to humans. It took my mother ten whole years to gain Anusbi's acknowledgnt," Nishijiu said in a low voice.
Anusbi is that Centaur Shikigami.
A high-rank Shikigami.
In Dongyin Country, Shikigami are classified into three levels: low, dium, and high.
And Anusbi, being a high-rank Shikigami, is already a very powerful one.
Of course, this is just the ordinary classification for Shikigami.
There are rumored to be Legendary Level Shikigami.
However, those are part of legends, and whether they truly exist remains to be seen.
The battle power of Onmyoji cos entirely from the Shikigami they can summon.
Gaining acknowledgnt from a Shikigami, however, is exceedingly difficult.
And it requires imnse luck.
It is already considered very quick for Shuiyue Jingxiang to gain acknowledgnt from the high-rank Shikigami Anusbi in ten years.
There are many Onmyoji who spend ten or twenty years, or even their entire lives, without receiving acknowledgnt from a Shikigami.
"So you an to say, actually the most difficult part is to get the acknowledgnt from Shikigami, right?" A smile appeared on Su Chen's face.
"That's correct..." Nishijiu's eyes suddenly sparkled.
Under normal circumstances, gaining a Shikigami's acknowledgnt is incredibly challenging.
But now, Shuiyue Jingxiang has rged with the Shikigami, temporarily guiding its consciousness.
If Shuiyue Jingxiang directly acknowledges Nishijiu, would Nishijiu imdiately beco an Onmyoji?
Of course, this is only a guess.
Because in reality, this kind of situation has never occurred.
Once soone chooses to sacrifice themselves to a Shikigami.
It ans they're giving up their life.
No one would choose to use their life to make another Onmyoji.
Moreover, this is only theoretically feasible.
But now, there are no other options.
Shuiyue Jingxiang is about to die.
Of course, Shuiyue Jingxiang knew the most about Shikigami.
Both of their gazes turned towards the dying Shuiyue Jingxiang.
"Maybe we could try..." Shuiyue Jingxiang was also uncertain.
But they decided to try it anyway.
Instantly, Shuiyue Jingxiang started to teach Nishijiu Yin Yang Technique.
Perhaps because Nishijiu was originally Shuiyue Jingxiang's daughter, she almost didn't need to put in too much effort to learn it.
However, it wasn't difficult to learn Yin Yang Technique.
The difficult part was acquiring a Shikigami.
A Magician without Shikigami was even less capable than a regular Martial Artist.
Thus, in Dongyin Country, there weren't many Onmyoji.
Because Shikigami were too rare.
Even fewer Magicians obtained recognition from Shikigami.
With that ti, it would be better to directly cultivate Martial Skills.
Either to beco a Dongyin Samurai or to practice Ninjutsu and beco a Ninja.
But once they gained recognition from a Shikigami, that Magician would imdiately beco incomparably powerful.
Just like Shuiyue Jingxiang's Shikigami, Anusbi.
Its power almost rivaled that of Su Chen.
After accepting the sacrifice from Shuiyue Jingxiang, it was even stronger than Su Chen.
Theoretically, Nishijiu had just learned the technique, and it would take a very long ti to acquire a Shikigami.
Perhaps, it wouldn't be possible in her entire lifeti.
But now, an opportunity was laid in front of her.
That was, to gain recognition from her mother.
To beco her Shikigami.
If successful.
Then not only would she be a Samurai of the Hachishin Clan, but also an Onmyoji with a Shikigami.
Her rank would imdiately rise from fifty-eighth to the top twenty, or even higher.
Of course, all this was predicated on the feasibility of this thod.
Following the request of Shuiyue Jingxiang, Nishijiu cut a slit on her palm.
Shuiyue Jingxiang did the sa on her palm.
They pressed their palms together.
This was the process of an Onmyoji making a contract with a Shikigami.
Generally, only after obtaining the Shikigami's recognition could one make a contract.
However, Shuiyue Jingxiang directly acknowledged Nishijiu and imdiately proceeded to the contract-making process.
Shuiyue Jingxiang's body started to beco sowhat ethereal.
Her ti was running out.
If she could not beco Nishijiu's Shikigami, as a masterless Shikigami, she would return to the void space.
Her consciousness would be erased instantly.
Everything seed to be proceeding smoothly.
However, at the last mont, an explosion suddenly occurred at the location of their joined palms.
Both Nishijiu and Shuiyue Jingxiang were sent flying back.
"What's happening?" Su Chen was also unaware of what had happened.
Nishijiu was the sa.
Shuiyue Jingxiang's complexion turned deathly pale.
She stared intently at Nishijiu and asked, "You, are you having your period today?"
Nishijiu was shocked and slowly nodded her head.
Upon hearing this, Shuiyue Jingxiang's face grew even paler.
She sighed, "Maybe, this is the will of heaven..."
Both Su Chen and Nishijiu looked at Shuiyue Jingxiang, sowhat perplexed and confused.
"Shikigami are extrely proud, and so female Magicians cannot summon Shikigami for several days each month. The reason I was trapped in that cellar before... Although I dominated Anusbi's consciousness, it subconsciously rejected forming a contract with Nishijiu..."
