Pendekar Batari Mahadewi: The Journey to Find Your Self
Episode 6 of the River God Crystal Ball
Batari Mahadevi took out a crystal ball that he got in the river and looked at it. Her mother has slept. Now he can freely learn the beautiful ball alone in the room.
He grasped the ball, then tried to absorb its energy as he had done before. The Crystal Ball not only stored incredible energy, but also provided knowledge.
A deity script sprang up when Batari Mahadewi absorbed the energy from the crystal ball. For some reason, he could recognize and easily read characters that provided him with new knowledge about the black energy possessed by the black faction, the white energy of the white faction, as well as the energy of the gods.
These three types of energy can be possessed and mastered by humans and giants. Nevertheless, most humans have neutral, black and white energy.
It was rare for any human to possess god energy, though, except for the warriors who continue to process and purify their energy to reach the level of divine energy as possessed by Ki Gading Putih and several other magic warriors in other parts of the world.
The energy of this god is golden, like the radiance possessed by Batari Mahadewi when he found Nyi turmeric. This energy also had its levels, ranging from the weakest to the very strong like those possessed by a God King.
On the other hand, black energy was energy that came from demons. This is energy that is inversely proportional to the energy of the gods which means, black energy could be as strong as the energy of the gods as Kalapati had after he was imprisoned for 1000 years.
Generally, black energy is owned by black warriors, demons, and giants. However, there were also demons and giants who did not possess black energy, but white energy and god energy even though not many of those factions possessed it.
Man can reach the level of god energy if he has exceeded the limit of the highest level of white energy. It would certainly take a long struggle for humans to reach the god energy level.
With this knowledge, Batari Mahadewi is able to capture and recognize the type of energy and even know how much energy levels are owned by humans or objects around them.
It was almost dawn when Batari Mahadewi finished absorbing the crystal ball's energy completely until it vanished into a flake of light. Batari Mahadevi felt something new on her body. The second seal is open. Batari Mahadevi's body emitted a golden light for a long time.
In contrast to the opening of the first seal in his body, Batari Mahadewi could easily master and control the energy in his body when this second seal opened. He can also hide his strength so that a master swordsman will find it difficult to capture the presence of a huge new energy in the body of Batari Mahadevi.
Shortly after Batari Mahadewi finished absorbing the energy from his crystal ball, he heard the sound of Nyi Turmeric opening the door of the house. Batari Mahadevi always woke up earlier than Nyi Turmeric, but he would wait for Nyi Turmeric to wake up first before he left the room.
“It's waking up apparently you son.” Sapa Nyi Turmeric.
“Iya mother.” Answer Batari Mahadevi.
“Alright, then mom will cook first. Can I ask you to prepare firewood?” ask Nyi Turmeric.
“Iya, mother.” Sahut Batari Mahadewi who then immediately rushed to the back of the house to pick up the wood stored there.
Nyi Turmeric was a diligent old woman. He never ran out of firewood because he always went to find firewood filled his wood barn once the wood storage there was only half.
After Batari Mahadevi picked up some logs, he suddenly heard a scream from Nyi Santan's house. “Please...oh, my son Rangga!!!" The sound that split the silent morning was the hysterical voice of Nyi Santan because Rangga, his son who was the same age as Batari Mahadewi, was weak from being bitten by a snake.
Without thinking long Batari Mahadewi immediately ran to the house of Nyi Santan to see what was going on, followed behind him Nyi Turmeric who was shocked to hear the sound. Several other neighbors were also seen rushing towards Nyi santan's house.
“Rangga bitten by a snake.Rangga bitten by a snake..”Shouted Nyi Santan while crying in confusion.
Nyi Santai and Ki Janur were confused because the snake that bit Rangga was a very poisonous snake. Both resigned helplessly because they knew maybe Rangga would not be able to survive. The people who gathered there were also confused about how to help Rangga.
Batari Mahadewi then approached Nyi Santan and Ki Janur. “Uncle, Auntie, may I try to help Rangga?” ask Batari Mahadevi.
The two of them and the people around certainly consider the words of Batari Mahadevi as the words of a child. Nyi Santan and Ki Janur let Batari Mahadevi who sat next to Rangga who was lying helpless considering Batari Mahadewi was Rangga's playmate.
Batari Mahadevi's hand felt the snake bite marks on Rangga's right leg, then he channeled his energy to push the poison out of Rangga's body. Furthermore, he cleaned up the remaining poison that had already spread to his body with his god energy.
Lucky since that night Batari Mahadewi has absorbed the energy of the crystal ball given by the river god and so the second seal in his body was opened. With the opening of the second seal, Batari Mahadewi has the ability to heal the sick with his divine energy.
People around Batari Mahadevi certainly can not see the energy radiance Batari Mahadewi. What they saw was the hand movements of Batari Mahadewi gave a push up and down around Rangga's wounds until they finally saw thick black blood coming out of the snake's bite marks.
Slowly, Rangga's condition improved along with the release of snake venom from his body. After that, Batari Mahadewi fully restored the state of Rangga by channeling his god energy and draining it throughout the body of Rangga.
Everyone was amazed by the ability of Batari Mahadevi. “How...how can you do it?” Ki Janur asked Batari Mahadevi.
Batari Mahadevi became a hot topic of conversation in Teratai Tanah village after thwarting the actions of Black Sword robbers. And now, in his own village, he also did not escape the talk of those who were amazed by the miracle he had just brought forth. Of course they also associate with the origin of Batari Mahadevi who suddenly present under the banyan tree Nyi Turmeric when the storm is underway.
“Maybe it was a god drop..” Tell those people.
Nyi Turmeric who had also witnessed what Batari Mahadewi did was also astonished even though he had previously seen extraordinary things that Batari Mahadewi did. Could this be the right time? Maybe I will talk to Batari Mahadewi soon. Inner Nyi Turmeric.
After breakfast, Nyi Turmeric said to Batari Mahadewi, “anakku, there is something I want to talk about for a moment.”
“What's mom?” answer Batari Mahadevi
“You don't know if it's the right time or not, but it's about your future. Have you ever heard of Ki Gading Putih, my son?” Ask Nyi Turmeric.
“Slightly mother, isn't he the elder of this village?” ask Batari Mahadevi.
“He's right son. When you were a baby, he told me, when you were 10 years old, you would study with him. But 2 days in a row this mother sees it looks like you do not have to wait until you are 10 years old to study with her.” Nyi Turmeric.
“But didn't if I studied there, then we would rarely meet, mother?”
“Iya my son. You must obey your teacher until you finish your studies there. Maybe you will become a swordsman which means you must be ready with the tasks that await you.” Nyi Turmeric.
Actually this is heavy to express Nyi Turmeric because after all he considers Batari Mahadewi like his own biological child and there is a sense of unwillingness if this beautiful girl in front of him will travel to become a female swordsman tough ones.
“Don't worry son, of course you can see mom whenever you want.” Nyi Turmeric continued his talk.
“Doesn't mom talk to Ki Gading Putih first?” batari Mahadewi.
“Ya, sure. I will visit there first.” Nyi Turmeric.
“I'll just obey what's good according to mom.” Reply Batari Mahadevi.
That day also Nyi Turmeric went to the Thousand Spruces Padepokan to meet Ki Gading Putih. Padepokan is located on the edge of the village, precisely at the foot of Mount Cemara Seribu which hides the beauty of a quiet small waterfall.
Ki Gading Putih established the plaster when he was 100 years old, right after he resigned from the martial world. He will only teach his knowledge to certain people who want to learn from him.
The place is quite hidden and quite far from the settlement of residents as padepokan in general will be built in certain places that tend to be quiet and away from the houses of residents. Only the people of Cemara Seribu village could easily find it.
It is rare for foreigners to visit the village of Cemara Seribu. Once there, usually they are guests of Ki Ivory White. They come for certain purposes, one of which is to study.
Before Nyi Turmeric entered the entrance gate of the padepokan, Ki Gading Putih had welcomed him first. The magic people like Ki Gading Putih will always know that he will have a guest.
“Good day Nyi, let's please come in.” Ki Gading Putih invited Nyi Turmeric to enter a small pendopo in the front area of the padepokan which is usually used to welcome guests.
The padepokan is not too broad actually. Ki Gading Putih also did not intend to raise his padepokan because he did not want to have many students. Better to have 1 talented student than 100 lazy students.
In the padepokan there are only 5 students. 1 of them are from the village of Cemara thousand, and 4 others are from other cities. They came from the store in each of those cities and they came to see Ki Gading Putih to learn a certain science.
Of course, the name of Ki Gading Putih still resonates in the martial world and not infrequently there are certain warriors who send their children to the thousandth Cemara to study from Ki Gading Putih.
“What news is this that makes Nyi Turmeric visit here in the afternoon?” Ki Gading White opened the conversation.
“This is about Batari Mahadewi Ki, his age is now only 7 years old. But he is already like a child with a much more mature age, and in some ways he has an unreasonable ability. “ said Nyi Turmeric. Then he told the unnatural things that he knew from Batari Mahadevi.
“Hmmm...The child was growing faster than I expected it turned out.” Ki Gading Putih.
