Proving the Dao of Hunyuan from the Age of Witches

Chapter 069 Information about the Intermediate Witch

Luo Xi simply took a step back, and Wei Ying and Shui Lin stood in front of her, blocking the attack from the Zero Witch.

"What do you mean?" It was Shui Lin's angry voice.

"I'm helping her become a D-rank witch," Witch Zero said with a smirk, her tone sarcastic.

"I advise you not to make a move on her," Wei Ying said coldly. "Don't even think about taking over her body and magical properties."

Standing behind Wei Ying and Shui Lin, Luo Xi said, "Tell me the most fundamental difference between an intermediate witch and a beginner witch."

"Disgusting," Witch Zero smiled provocatively at Wei Ying. "You're both D-rank witches, clearly just like me, mid-level witches. For us, low-level witches are like spare shells, with a fatal allure."

"You have a strong possessive desire for Shui Lin, Luo Xi, and Bei Qi, don't you? You want to take their bodies away..."

"And you..." Witch Zero sneered, her voice trembling with agitation, "Why do you suppress your desires?"

Wei Ying remained silent and did not refute.

"Tell me the most fundamental difference between an intermediate witch and a beginner witch," Luo Xi said quietly to both Witch Zero and Wei Ying, seemingly unconcerned about what Witch Zero had said.

"You're so smart, Miss Luo Xi," Wei Ying said with a sad expression. "Once you understand the difference between a beginner witch and an intermediate witch, you'll find a way to become an intermediate witch."

"With your execution ability, you'll soon become an intermediate witch."

"But once you cross that line, there's no turning back."

"What are you pretending for? Don't put on this considerate act," Zero Witch said, feigning nausea with a mocking expression. "If you won't say it, I will."

"A novice witch, her body has been modified by magic. What kind of body does a witch have?" Witch Zero chuckled. "The hospital examinations show that she has the body of a normal fifteen-year-old female human... but what is it actually like?"

"It is a vessel; the witch herself is the best container for anomalies."

"If the most fundamental change for a beginner witch is her body, then the most fundamental difference between a mid-level witch and a beginner witch is..." Before Witch Zero could finish speaking, Wei Ying shot a flame from her palm, interrupting her.

Luo Xi remained expressionless and silent for a long time before speaking helplessly, "I don't know why you all keep information about intermediate witches from me. Well then, I'll exchange it for a top-secret piece of information: anomalies have another characteristic: latent anomalies can turn into overt anomalies, and this is irreversible."

"I guess the main difference between beginner and intermediate levels, besides the differences in magic power and characteristics, lies in the soul," Luo Xi quietly uttered her guess.

"Matter constitutes the body, and energy sustains life. But for a novice witch, the energy that sustains life has been replaced by magic," Wei Ying sighed, seemingly because she had guessed the answer. Instead, she explained to her, "Abnormalities in our bodies have become magic and characteristics, which have changed our bodies."

"Every time we use magic, we are consuming our life force. That's why the immature body of a novice witch is very tempting to higher-level witches," Wei Ying said with a sad expression. "And for intermediate witches, what is abnormally transformed is... their soul."

"What is the soul?" Luo Xi asked quietly.

"Spirit, consciousness, and mind—the unity of these three constitutes the soul. This is the consensus among us witches," Wei Ying said softly.

"Abnormal characteristics are actually manifestations of our soul traits," Wei Ying glanced at her, "My initial magical characteristic was the ability to control flames."

It turned out to be the case.

It turned out to be the case.

Wei Ying's initial magical ability is the ability to control flames. Beneath her seemingly innocent and even somewhat dazed appearance lies a pure and kind heart dedicated to protecting others, as hot and bright as fire.

Beneath Yue Tong's gentle and timid appearance may lie a desire to protect herself and others, which is why her initial magical properties are restored.

What were the original magical properties of Shui Lin?

There's also Beki, and two witches who were suspected of being killed by Witch Zero...

Her magical property, initially, was cutting. Was such a sharp and razor-sharp property due to her unwavering pursuit of the Dao?

Could the abnormal core left behind after the abnormal entity was destroyed be a magical property left by an earlier witch?

Luo Xiru, like an observer, calmly pieced together all the clues.

"I want to become a mid-level witch," she spoke again, her gaze resolute. "What's the way to do it?"

"Using magic, even if it restores our strength, will eventually exhaust our lives. In all the records, there are no witches over the age of eighteen," Wei Ying said slowly. "Witches have very short lifespans."

"And the magical properties, the very first magical properties that arise are the manifestation of our soul's qualities. When we use magical properties, are we merely consuming magical power? No, we are burning our souls," Wei Ying asked herself, her voice trembling slightly, whether from fear or anger, "until our souls are completely consumed, we will perish completely, leaving nothing behind."

"So, don't rush this process." Wei Ying looked at her earnestly.

"I just want to know how to advance to the intermediate level witch." Luo Xi returned Wei Ying's determined gaze, and then glanced at Witch Zero.

"One more thing," Witch Zero said leisurely from the side, "The reason why intermediate witches can have more than three magical properties is because our souls are already incomplete, so we have a higher compatibility with abnormal cores, or rather, magical properties."

"As for the magical properties of novice witches, because their original soul characteristics are still intact, their compatibility is actually limited, and they can only be compatible with a maximum of two properties."

"Because the core magical characteristics of a novice witch are the manifestation of the soul qualities at the time of her birth; they are the purest wishes, the most beautiful expectations, and the most steadfast beliefs."

"So this magical property will attract higher-level witches like a puzzle piece, attracting witches with missing souls, that is, us, to frantically possess your souls and bodies, and then fill the void created by the modification and consumption of your souls, a void that even we ourselves cannot fully understand." Witch Zero said slowly, revealing a dangerous smile.

"If you want to become a mid-level witch, merge with me."

"Let us merge with you, taking the lead and using my consciousness as a secondary element."

Is that so?

Luo Xi, on the contrary, revealed a smile.

What an interesting extraordinary path! No wonder she couldn't break through to the next stage even using cultivation methods.

Truly remarkable! Her pursuit of truth...

A man's heart is as firm as iron until death; let's see if he can mend the crack in the sky!

Reaching out her hand, Luo Xi looked at her slender, fair hand and shook her head. Her daughter's heart was as hard as iron until her death. She reached out her hand to mend the broken sky!

Looking at the Zero Witch, Luo Xi revealed a cold smile, "Let me become an intermediate witch, and let's begin our fusion!"
