Let alone a thousand spirits, even if it were five hundred spirits, Yin Kong would still be imprisoned in the Sacred Relics Dungeon for a long time, right?
But if it truly allows him to better understand the power of this world, then doing so seems very worthwhile.
If one day he had the opportunity to accumulate his elemental mastery to over a thousand, then perhaps he wouldn't need to consider any profound techniques; he could casually unleash the power of [Wind Scar] or even [Explosive Stream Break] with a wave of his hand.
Moreover, it's not just "wind," but also "rock."
It seems that because Wan Ye and Zhong Li had both shown him special states of mind, Yin Kong could now sense the power of the earth in addition to the wind.
He spread his hands out in front of him at the same time, one hand holding the power of rock, and the other hand also holding the power of rock.
Of course, this is not because Yin Kong wants to learn from Zhou Shuren, but because these two kinds of rock power are indeed completely different.
In his left hand lies the power of rock, or rather, the power of earth, the power of soil, of this world.
Like the power of wind, it is very pure, but the rock elemental power in Yin Kong's right hand is completely different. It is more powerful and more complex.
He might not have realized it when he only possessed the power of the rock element, but now that he compares the two powers side by side, he can clearly perceive the difference between them.
The elemental power of Geo not only contains a sacred, majestic, and unwavering will, but also seems to possess some other, more special, and inexplicable power.
"Mr. Zhongli, is this just my imagination?"
Without saying a word, Yin Kong directly asked Zhong Li.
After all, who else understands Geo elemental power better than this Geo Lord?
"As expected of a traveler, you noticed it so quickly?" To Yin Kong's surprise, after praising him, Zhongli immediately shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't give you an answer to this question."
Yin Kong was taken aback by the answer, but quickly realized that this was obviously related to the contract signed by Zhong Li.
Come to think of it, after spending so much time with the old man, he had almost forgotten that he was also an old riddle maker.
However, after leaving Teyvat, they rarely talked about the secrets there anymore.
Now, it's clear that those contracts have been brought up again.
Even though they have left Teyvat, and even if they violated the law of contract, the Great King would not "startle awake in his dying moments and strike you with the nails of the cold sky," but given Zhongli's character, it is clearly impossible for him to do so.
"Is that really the case?"
Yin Kong nodded thoughtfully.
Although the old man did not answer, saying this in itself can be considered an answer.
After all, there are very few things that can silence him, so the strange power he sensed was either related to the Great King of Law, or to the Four Shadows or the Heart of God.
Could it be the power of space?
Zhongli's attitude reminded Yin Kong of a speculation he had seen somewhere:
That is, although there are seven elemental powers in Teyvat, rock, water, fire, and wind are different from the remaining grass, ice, and lightning, and are relatively more special.
"Earth, water, fire, and wind, follow my command. Recreate the four elements and reshape the five elements."
This is a phrase engraved on every alchemy table in the game.
Earth, water, fire, and wind naturally correspond to the four elemental forces of rock, water, fire, and wind. At the same time, apart from the fact that the existence of Elder Zhongli is not yet confirmed, the other three elemental deities do indeed have close relationships with the four rulers of life, death, time, and space.
Barbatos, the god of wind, needs no introduction. He once met Ishtar, the ruler of time, and traded for some of her authority.
The first Vulcan also made a deal with the ruler of death, Jonawa, and obtained a portion of her power;
The first water goddess, Egolia, was the heart of the primordial ocean created by the ruling power of life, and was the replacement for the water dragon king.
The only one that hasn't been explicitly revealed yet is Morax, the Geo Archon.
However, it can be inferred from various aspects that the old man is most likely connected with Asmodie, the ruler of the Sky.
Whether it's the method for creating the external grotto-heaven among the three eyes and five manifestations of power, or the cube held in the hand of the old man on the rock god statue, they are all clear evidence.
Unfortunately, if Yin Kong continues to press the matter, the old man will probably just remain silent.
But if Yin Kong's deduction is correct, and the special power within the rock element is spatial power, then could he possibly explore spatial power by comparing the two powers?
Even if you don't aspire to master it, just grasping a tiny bit of the basics would be incredibly impressive, wouldn't it?
At the same time, could the elemental forces of water, fire, and wind also contain a higher level of power, the power of life and death?
Chapter 185 The Cloud Fang and the Tessaiga
"Why does it feel a bit weak?"
Seeing that Yin Kong's Wind Scar could only cut a few leaves half a meter away before it became unsustainable, Inuyasha couldn't help but mutter to himself.
He felt that this move wasn't as sharp as his [Soul-Scattering Iron Claw].
"It is indeed very weak."
Yin Kong's reply naturally startled Inuyasha.
Once this half-demon boy truly masters the [Wind Scar], he will understand that it is a technique that can only be used under specific conditions.
At least in the version of [Tessaiga], it utilizes the gaps created when demonic energy collides to unleash a hurricane that destroys the enemy.
The more intense the collision of demonic energies, the more obvious the gaps become, and the greater the power of the hurricane naturally becomes.
However, Yin Kong did not possess demonic energy, nor was he bound by it. After understanding the principles, he was able to unleash the [Wind Wound] simply by observing the flow of the wind.
However, in this gentle breeze, the gaps in the wind are so weak that they are almost invisible, so the power of the wind wounds that are slashed out is naturally predictable.
Once Yin Kong's control over the power of wind reaches a higher level, he will be able to create an environment suitable for the [Wind Wound] without relying on the environment, or rather, he will be able to create such an environment anytime, anywhere.
Of course, his [Wind Scar] level should have automatically reached Lv6 or higher by then, right?
"By the way, Inuyasha, what about the [Iron Shadow Broadsword] I gave you?"
At Yin Kong's prompting, Inuyasha quickly ran back to the shrine and retrieved the greatsword:
"Yin Kong, do you want to take it back?"
"Of course not."
After all, it's just a three-star weapon; he wouldn't be so petty about it.
Under the shocked gazes of Kagome and Inuyasha, Yin Kong grasped the [Iron Shadow Broadsword], and then this bright silver greatsword rapidly melted into a ball of silvery-white liquid, merging into the [Tessaiga].
Although the [Iron Shadow Broadsword] had been leveled up to nearly level 20 in Inuyasha's hands, feeding it to the [Tessaiga] only raised it from level 63 to level 64.
For a weapon, this improvement is barely worth mentioning.
However, the changes to the Tessaiga are quite significant, especially its original tattered katana form.
Just like after a great massage, not only were the nicks on the blade repaired, but the originally pitted and dull blade also became smooth and bright again, finally giving it the appearance of a divine weapon.
Moreover, when Yin Kong put the Tessaiga into its fang form again, a faint layer of steel color appeared on the originally white blade.
Inuyasha was naturally astonished:
"Okay, so awesome!"
Although he didn't understand what had happened, he was very happy to see that Tessaiga had become even cooler.
Kagome Higurashi also asked curiously:
"Mr. Yin Kong, did you allow the [Tessaiga] to absorb the power of the [Tessaiga Broadsword]?"
"That certainly seems to be the case."
Yin Kong's tone was also very surprised, because he had discovered that the special effects of [Tetsusaiga] actually included the characteristics of [Iron Shadow Broadsword]:
When health is below 70%, heavy attacks cannot be easily interrupted, and heavy attack damage is increased by 15%.
Although the effect of [Iron Shadow Broadsword] is to increase critical strike damage by 30%, it seems that only half of it has been inherited here, which is still a very absurd thing.
After all, there are just too many special effects on Genshin Impact weapons.
Even if only half of the values can be inherited, if all these effects are concentrated on one weapon, its bonus would be so ridiculously powerful that it's unimaginable.
“I think the possibility is very small.” Wan Ye’s voice rang in Yin Kong’s heart once again. “I can feel that although this [Tessaiga] can indeed turn the abilities of other weapons into its own in this way, it is not without limits.”
At least, it's only a level 64 [Tessaiga], and its capacity for absorbing special effects is very limited. It can probably only absorb one more special effect before reaching its limit.
"Furthermore, I suspect that because the characteristics of the [Iron Shadow Broadsword] and the [Iron Slayer Fang] are inherently compatible, they can directly inherit the values. If it were an unrelated effect, inheriting even one-tenth of the values would be quite good."
"That's right."
If it could truly absorb all special effects without any restrictions, then the [Tessaiga] wouldn't just be a four-and-a-half-star weapon. Even without any base stats, it would definitely be a true six-star artifact.
"It's such a special craftsmanship. It would be great if we could take it apart and study it."
Hearing Wan Ye's exclamation, Yin Kong couldn't help but become excited as well:
"Manyo, are you confident you can learn this technique?"
He certainly wouldn't do something like stealing someone else's father's belongings.
But if Manyo could learn such a technique, then he naturally wouldn't need to envy it.
Moreover, Yin Kong had not forgotten that after collecting all the fragments of the demon sword, he would need to reforge it to obtain the five-star weapon [Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi].
If Wan Ye could master this technique and apply it to this five-star one-handed sword, wouldn't that be perfect?
However, Yin Kong already knew from the mission description that the original name of the demon sword was [Congyunya]. Its style is not exactly the same as [Tessaiga], but it is definitely very similar.
Furthermore, if he remembered correctly, in the story's animation, Karasuma Renya possessed at least half of the Shikon Jewel.
Is this a pure coincidence?
Or is this guy actually related to Kagome Higurashi and Inuyasha's experiences during the Sengoku period?
Unfortunately, unless Yin Kong can directly expose the hidden Karasuma Renya himself, the young man and woman in front of him obviously cannot answer his question.
"【Tsurugi-ga】? They even have the technology to forge 【Tetsusaiga】?"
Inuyasha scratched his head, clearly indicating that he knew nothing about these things.
In fact, just two days ago, he didn't even know the existence of the sword [Tessaiga], let alone its origin.
Even now, all he knows is that this is the sword his father left him.
"However, Grandpa Mingjia would probably know."
Myoga, the grandfather, was a flea demon. Although his strength was very weak, he was a retainer whom Inuyasha's father trusted very much. He even kept the secret of the tomb.
"However, this guy disappears at crucial moments, and I can't guarantee when I'll see him again."
However, just as they were talking, the Higurashi Shrine received two unexpected guests.
Chapter 186 Missing
Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at the Higurashi Shrine and stared in utter astonishment at her student, Yukino Yukinoshita.
She had assumed that this girl, who always insisted on being right and never believed in anything unrealistic, would take her to visit a library or a famous detective agency, but she never expected that her destination would be a shrine.
Moreover, it appears to be a small shrine that looks somewhat dilapidated.
"Ms. Yukino!"
It was clear that this wasn't Yukino Yukinoshita's first visit to Higurashi Shrine in recent days, so Kagome Higurashi's tone of voice was noticeably more familiar and friendly than Yin Kong remembered.
Upon spotting Yin Kong, Yukino Yukinoshita was momentarily taken aback, before politely greeting him:
"Mr. Yin Kong."
However, his tone and demeanor suddenly became noticeably more uneasy.
Yin Kong nodded slightly:
"Ms. Yukinoshita."
Although he wasn't particularly fond of her older sister, he had a very good impression of Yukino Yukinoshita.
At least they are quite polite and know how to maintain boundaries.
Moreover, they had a big exclamation mark above their heads.
Yin Kong is very welcoming of missions and raw gems.
However, the second young lady's attitude towards Yin Kong was somewhat complicated, a mixture of joy, worry, and even a hint of awe.
Sensing the awkward atmosphere between the two, Kagome Higurashi immediately smiled and smoothed things over, asking the young woman behind Yukino:
"Miss Yukino, who is this—"
