Chapter 207 Do Your Own Things
When he heard Taiichi's affirmative answer, Tsugikuni Iwakatsu's joy was genuine.
It's exactly the feeling of a child about to see their father who has been working away from home for many years.
"Unexpectedly, even though the person is no longer in the mortal world, the will that remains in their cells has an increasingly strong influence on their family."
However, compared to Kokushiro Tsugikuni, Doma, who was getting up and straightening his clothes with a look of disgust, seemed much more normal.
This guy still maintains a very independent personality, probably because after I recovered, I helped him cleanse the will of Muzan from his body again.
"But how can I believe what you say?"
"Do you know where the adult is? Or rather, what makes you think you can bring the adult back to life?"
After calming down and suppressing his excitement, Guo Yansheng continued to seek confirmation from Taiyi.
After all, the other party's request was for him to influence the entire Satsuma Domain, thereby forming an alliance with the Choshu Domain to disrupt the world.
If the plan goes smoothly, then there will definitely be another major battle.
Furthermore, the current cherry blossoms are a testament to the strength of the Meiji Restoration faction, which is represented by Satsuma and Choshu.
Unlike the activists of the Choshu Domain who were always thinking about moving into the Kyoto Imperial Palace to control Emperor Komei, the Meiji Restoration in Satsuma seemed much more scientific.
To reorganize industry and commerce, develop manufacturing and industry, and train a new type of army.
The Satsuma Domain is changing almost every day.
Once Satsuma stands against the shogunate, the outcome is predictable; they would never act impulsively like the Choshu Domain.
They will definitely launch a full-scale war at the appropriate time, and this war will decide the fate of the world; it will be a thunderous strike.
Therefore, if he wants to get the nobles in Satsuma who are still observing, as well as the leaders of the Meiji Restoration, to completely break with the shogunate, he will have to go through a lot of trouble to influence them after he returns.
He wasn't very good at brainwashing and hypnosis; that was Muzan's specialty.
Even Kokushiro Tsugikuni himself didn't want to turn all these people into demon warriors.
He absolutely could not allow those obese nobles, who ate with greasy mouths and called themselves warriors, to easily gain immortality under the influence of his cells.
Now, he understands why Muzan didn't develop a large number of followers back then.
This powerful force is a gift from the gods to mortals. Why should it be so easily bestowed upon them?
Fortunately, two of his disciples were leaders of the Satsuma Restoration School: Saigo Takamori and Sakamoto Ryoma.
"Muzan's soul did not dissipate, but remained in the underworld."
"And in this world, there is only one bridge that can connect the Yellow Springs and the mortal world, located in Aolu, which is occupied by a powerful creature."
"If we want Muzan to return, we must seize this bridge."
"But between Oku and Satsuma, there's not only Kyoto, but also Edo!"
Taiyi waved his hand, and a map instantly appeared in the air in front of him.
The map shows the entire cherry blossom area, and the locations of each domain are also marked.
The bridge he spoke of that could connect the underworld and the world of the living was marked by him in the Sendai Domain.
"Ashname Country?"
Following the direction Taiichi pointed, Kokushiro looked towards the Sendai Domain, but when he saw that the bridge was located in a place called Ashina, he was filled with confusion.
I've lived from the Warring States period to the present day, and I've never heard of such a country.
"It has been mysteriously disappeared. Also, what I called a bridge is actually a tree, a huge cherry blossom tree."
"The people there call this tree the Everlasting Cherry."
Taiichi's lips curled into a slight smile. With a thought, he zoomed in on the map of Ashina Country, and in the innermost place called Sengoku, there stood a gigantic cherry blossom tree that seemed to stretch across the sky.
Upon seeing these, Ji Guoyan's pupils instantly contracted, and his brows furrowed.
Over the years, the situation in the eastern part of Sakura has become an open secret.
Many strange things happened there, including the prevalence of ghosts and monsters, as well as powerful monsters known as the Insect-Possessed.
After hearing Taiichi's words, he realized that the anomalies in the Oku region were probably all related to Ashina.
Seeing his increasingly serious expression, Taiichi continued:
"Of course, such a wondrous thing cannot be without an owner."
“A powerful creature has taken over this tree, and like Muzan, she has many followers.”
"Therefore, obtaining this tree is not something that can be accomplished by a few people fighting their way through; it requires many more people, or even... an army."
Is that so?
He could pretty much guess what was going to happen without Taiyi having to say it again.
The reason why he wanted to welcome Muzan back was not only due to the influence of the will from his cells, but also because his own strength had reached a point where it could not be improved.
But a few years ago, he suddenly felt that the Muzan cells in his body had become active again, and his strength, which had been stagnant for a long time, began to slowly increase.
Why pursue strength? Because Kokushiro Kumamoto could never forget how his younger brother returned from the underworld on Paradise Island, once again displaying his unparalleled prowess.
If a resurrected person can become so powerful in a short time, then what level have I reached as a human who became a demon in order to become stronger?
Anyway, it's still far from good enough, which makes Jiguo Yansheng very angry.
Why is Yoriichi always such a dazzling presence? Why can't I see any reward for my efforts?
There must be another way, and we can definitely continue to get stronger!
Regardless of Taiyi's motives for telling himself these things, everyone is simply getting what they need.
so......
"Okay, I will do as you say."
"But what if the adults don't come back..."
Oh?
Taiyi raised an eyebrow, looking at the other person with great interest.
"I will fight to the death to settle this score with you."
After saying this, the silver moonlight burst forth on its own, and then Tsugikuni Iwakatsu disappeared without a trace.
Looking at the spot where the other person disappeared, Taiyi was overjoyed.
Very good. Even when facing a powerful being, they did not show any cowardice; at least they dared to make some tough statements.
Let's assume you haven't lost your samurai spirit yet.
At that moment, Douma appeared beside him and asked with a curious expression:
"How do you know all this? Can the adults really return?"
Taiyi glanced at the other person with a half-smile, patted his shoulder, and then tapped his temple.
"She told me."
Seeing the other person's bewildered look, Tai immediately satisfied his mischievous pleasure in teasing Doma.
But he wasn't lying; it really was her in his mind who told him.
During the battle on Paradise Island, Muzan, himself, and Ren were engaged in a fierce battle in the sky.
Muzan obtained the cultivation technique from Gyokuho through vision sharing.
But don't forget, the lotus in the sky is just someone else's puppet doll.
The lotus's true form is still inside the Alchemy Palace.
Therefore, she naturally knew everything Yu Hu did and also saw the contents of that book at that time.
"Taiyin Refines Form, hehe."
Taiyi sneered, lamenting that Sakura Dragon was truly an old fox.
The method itself was correct; sending Muzan directly to the Underworld to cultivate his soul and thus complete the Five Yin was indeed the right choice.
But she didn't tell Muzan that if she wanted to come back, she would either have to rely on her own perfected primordial spirit to reach the point where she could break through the boundaries and travel between realms, or she would have to rely on the Evergreen Cherry Tree to connect the two realms and thus return to the mortal world.
Clearly, her idea at the time was to use Muzan as her food.
Even if it returns, it's likely that she will refine and absorb it.
"Let's fight. If we don't fight, how can I quickly improve my soul power?"
"Only those hot-blooded, emotionally charged souls on the battlefield can refine my spiritual power."
"And no matter how many villagers and commoners you kill, you won't be able to extract much spiritual power."
Thinking of this, Taiyi couldn't help but sigh.
Sigh, despite my own limited abilities, I still have to rely on my own planning. It's exhausting!
