Genshin Impact: A Traveler with Only Two Skills

If you are caught by a holy beast, the magic power in your body will be absorbed by it, and you don’t know whether your elemental power will be affected.

"I hope the Holy Beast won't be like the Holy Skeleton Beast, with a large body, strong impact force, thick blood and high attack." Ying prayed secretly. She and Shen Xichen sorted out their clothes and packed their luggage. Soon the sky cleared up. It was not known whether it was the characteristic of the snowfield in the Great Wilderness, but the weather with strong winds and snow just now turned cloudless in just a few minutes. The warm sunlight shone down, and Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

At least she got help from the other party, so Ying immediately decided to help Shen Xichen carry the luggage. Shen Xichen did not refuse. The backpack was not heavy, and Ying estimated that there were only some dry food and clothes in it.

Ying followed Shen Xichen walking on the snowy plain. Although the snow scenery was beautiful, Shen Xichen obviously had no intention of appreciating it. After walking a few steps, she suddenly asked Ying:

"You said your name was taken away? I only heard that the immortal had his name taken away by the Ancient Saint Tianhuang. What is your relationship with that immortal?"

"It doesn't matter. I haven't even met that immortal." Ying thought about it and still didn't say that she had met the immortal's guide Gu Tianhan. After all, judging from Shen Xichen's performance, although she was exiled by the Ancient Sage Tianhuang, she still respected the Ancient Sage Tianhuang in her heart. Besides, she was punished because she wanted to cooperate with the immortal. If Ying said that she had received help from the other party, she didn't know whether she would be close to herself because of sympathy, or would be angry with herself because of resentment towards the immortal.

"Come to think of it, I still don't know what it means to have my name taken away. Will something bad happen if my name is taken away?" Ying asked.

Shen Xichen looked at Ying, frowned slightly, and said, "You are not a terrestrial immortal yet, are you? Which sect are you from? What kind of skills do you practice? What level have you reached?"

As he spoke, Shen Xichen put his hand on Ying's body.

"Uh, no, I..." Ying quickly turned sideways to try to dodge, but at this time she had lost the four elemental powers, her physical fitness was not as good as before, and her reaction speed was also slower. She was caught by Shen Xichen and a finger was pointed at her forehead.

Not long after, Ying felt a warm current coming from her forehead and flowing to her limbs. After a while, Shen Xichen withdrew his fingers. His expression did not change, but there was a hint of pity in his eyes.

"All your magic power has been taken away."

"Ah?" Ying was slightly stunned, then realized that the elemental power he was using was different from the magic power, and now a lot of elemental power in his body had been taken away. Naturally, Shen Xichen could not feel the fluctuation of magic power. Ying thought about it, and finally did not explain. After all, it would be too troublesome to explain at this time that he was a person from another world, or that he was using elemental power.

"What crime did you commit?" Shen Xichen couldn't help but ask again, but she still didn't delve into it. Instead, she explained: "Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't want to tell me. Then I will tell you what will happen if your name is taken away."

Shen Xichen thought for a while, considering where to start. "The power of the immortals is basically to take and give. Although the details may be different, they are generally extended from these two aspects."

"You have already experienced the seizure. In addition to our magic power, our memory and our perception can also be taken away. If your memory is taken away, the memories in your mind will be completely mastered by others. I don't need to explain the result. Your memory contains your weaknesses and also contains ways to deal with yourself. As for perception, ordinary people, even cultivators in the Earthly Immortal Realm, will probably become a dumb wooden man if all their perceptions are taken away. Even if someone chops you with a knife, you will not react at all."

"Hiss——" Ying felt that these sounded a bit scary. Fortunately, it was not these scary things that were taken away from her. However, if the immortal was really so powerful, how could Shu Dan hide the information of his immortal friend?

Is it because they are both celestial beings, so they have some means of counterattack, or is it that Shu Dan really does not have detailed information about that celestial being?

Shen Xichen didn't care about Ying's absent-mindedness and continued, "Taking away these is still good, at least you are still yourself, but the immortal will also take away some conceptual things."

"Conceptual?" Ying had an ominous feeling in her heart, "For example..."

"For example, your name, your identity, and you as a person. These are conceptual seizures. But I am not a celestial being after all, and the information about these seizures is just hearsay. But if it is true, then you should worry about whether you will disappear and someone else will replace you in the world."

"What do you mean?" Ying asked quickly.

"On the surface, it seems that what was taken away from you was your name, but think about it, what does a name really mean? After entering the Earthly Immortal Realm, our names contain power. People in the mortal realm or cultivators only need to call our real names to borrow power from us. We can also feel the existence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth more easily by calling our real names."

"In other words, a name is a guide to our existence. From what you've shown, you can't say your own name, but I think that if your name is taken away, your power, your identity, and the connection between you and other people may also be stripped away from you bit by bit. Before long, you may no longer be yourself."

"No, it's even worse. Maybe you don't even exist."

"..." Hearing this, Ying couldn't help but fall silent. Shu Dan had said before that after his name was taken away, someone in the Great Wilderness might have become himself. However, Shu Dan had only just become an immortal, and he couldn't explain the things in the Heavenly Immortal Realm clearly. Now after hearing Shen Xichen's explanation, Ying felt a chill enveloping his whole body.

Shen Xichen knew that Ying was feeling uncomfortable at the moment, so he did not continue to speak. After a while, Ying spoke up and asked, "You said that the power of celestial beings is basically about taking and giving. If we look at it from the perspective of giving, is it possible that my name that was taken away was given to someone?"

"In theory, yes, but it is also possible that the Ancient Saint Tianhuang directly sealed your name. As long as the concept of self is stripped away to a certain extent, you no longer belong to this world, but you cannot leave this world. You will be in between the two states of 'existence' and 'non-existence'."

"I'm a little confused after listening to it." Ying said with a wry smile.

Shen Xichen shook his head: "This kind of thing is not easy to explain clearly. Even the methods of the Earthly Immortal Realm that can influence time and space at will are sometimes difficult to explain clearly, let alone the Heavenly Immortal Realm."

"Take and give." Ying repeated these two words in her mind.

Since the Ancient Sage Tianhuang has clearly expressed his willingness to cooperate with me, the possibility of him making me "non-existent" is very low. After all, if it really comes to that, there is no way to talk about cooperation.

But the situation is different if the power of "giving" is added. Since the Ancient Sage Tianhuang cannot cooperate with him, he can completely take away his abilities, memories, and even the concept of "Ying", and then give them to another person. In this way, that person will obtain everything of "Ying" and become the ideal partner of the Ancient Sage Tianhuang.

"No wonder, no wonder the Ancient Saint Tianhuang turned hostile when he said so. He didn't have to worry about my non-cooperation. He just needed to take everything from me." Ying suddenly realized, but this brought up another problem:

"But if he really intended to take away everything from me, there was no need to turn against him so quickly. Wouldn't it be better for me to stay in Manghuang City and then take it away bit by bit?" At least Ying was completely unaware when the elemental power in her body was taken away.

"Is there something inside me that he can't take away?"

Seeing Ying lost in thought, Shen Xichen stopped talking and just stopped. But suddenly, she saw an illusory figure appear on the snow not far away. It looked blurry under the sunlight and was even harder to identify on the white snow.

But Shen Xichen reacted immediately, grabbed Ying's arm and ran away from the figure.

Seeing that Ying seemed to have not yet reacted, she quickly shouted, "It's the holy beast! The holy beast is coming!"

"Holy beast?" Ying looked at the figure on the snowy field. Based on her combat experience, she knew that if she, who only had the power of wind element, encountered it, it would be a fierce battle.

But she did not escape with Shen Xichen, and even broke free from Shen Xichen's hand.

"What are you doing?" Shen Xichen was shocked and anxious.

Ying took out the black sword and said slowly: "I want to prove one thing."

However, the holy beast would not wait for Ying to finish speaking. It had already discovered the two preys, and its illusory body appeared in front of Ying in the blink of an eye.

Very strong, Ying thought, but she did not panic. Instead, she raised her sword and called out the name:

Morax
