I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 463 The Sequel to Demiplane
"Isn't this supposed to be the case?"

In an abandoned warehouse in Tokyo, a young lady was completely baffled.

Not only was the sword she had just acquired broken, but her clone that she had entered into that demiplane was also killed by a strange invading ability. She couldn't even get rid of 'molting and regeneration'. It was simply her natural enemy!

Or perhaps, because she beat him so badly, the other party 'evolved' the ability to target her?

"I should have never played it."

Before the opponent becomes stronger, you should strike decisively!
I've learned my lesson.

That 'demigod plane' was, after all, right under the nose of a certain principal, so how could Jiu Kong Yao Ai dare to go there in her true form?
Besides, having suffered so many losses, the young lady is now either a clone or a puppet when she goes out, so she doesn't care about the losses: she's used to it anyway.

In fact, with Jiu Kong Yao Ai's strength, she could have ended the battle long ago. However, she had been suppressed for too long before. Now that she has found an opportunity, she has to enjoy it properly.

It backfired.
"It wasn't without its gains,"

As Jiu Kong Yao Ai opened her mouth, she spat out half of a broken sword.

Congyunya!
"The most crucial thing is—"

My gaze fell on the counterweight ball on the hilt, where the fragments were the true source of power: the broken longsword was nothing more than something forged by a swordsmith who had found a fragment of a divine sword.

"Fragments of the Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi!"

Jiu Kongyao played with the broken sword in his hand, feeling the 'high-level' power coming from the hilt, and his face lit up with joy.

"But how should we use this fragment?"

Got it!

Thinking of an old man riding an ox, Jiu Kongyao had a sudden inspiration.

Find that old man, 'Daodaozhai'!

Since the core of 'Congyun Fang' is this fragment of the divine sword, why not just use its own fangs as material to forge a new sword?

Thinking of this, Jiu Kong Yao Ai cheered up again.

It was just one, okay, another failure, but it won't defeat Jiu Kong Yao Ai!

"What doesn't kill me only makes me stronger."

The young lady clenched her fist with passion. That guy's gray-white longsword was indeed troublesome, but as long as she didn't get hit, wouldn't that be fine?

However, the previous Jiu Kong Yao Ai was used to relying on her thick skin and various recovery abilities, and liked the "trading damage for damage" fighting style: whether it was roaming around and attacking from a distance to kite, or using high-speed attacks to decide the outcome instantly, these were all methods of dealing with the situation.

"Sesshomaru?"

Okay, I'll remember you!

Wait, something seems to have been forgotten?
The next second, Jiu Kongyao put that thought out of her mind; it probably wasn't anything important.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"I surrender! I surrender!"

Having just been teleported out of the demiplane, he was confronted by a group of menacing personnel from the Extraordinary Countermeasures Department, their bodies radiating a ghostly blue light. The boy, named 'Nezu Jinpachi,' raised his hands with a wry smile on his face.

My dear lady, at least lend me a hand!

No, no, no, given that person's personality—

Have they already forgotten his existence?

As the 'world's most wanted criminal,' there are countless 'memoirs' and 'biographies' about Jiu Kong Yao Ai. In addition, she has never been 'captured,' so her popularity remains firmly in the top three of the Extraordinary World's hottest topics list. Both her bounty and her power are coveted by many.

It would be strange if Nezu Jinpachi, a top student from Bunkyo Ward, didn't know this person.

By the way, the number one spot on the Extraordinary World popularity chart is, of course, a certain principal who spends all his time in his office.

"In short, that's how it is."

Nezu Jinpachi had long anticipated this scene.

There was no need for interrogation at all; she recounted every detail of her encounter with Jiu Kong Yao Ai.

"Based on my understanding of Da Jiu Kong Yao Ai, she's definitely alright; she's probably hiding somewhere right now, studying the fragments of the divine sword?"

Their cooperation was so enthusiastic, it was as if they were undercover agents from the Metropolitan Police Department. The members of the Extraordinary Countermeasures Division took notes and added details as they went. The scene was extremely harmonious. Next:
"Yu-kun, look—"

The head of the Extraordinary Countermeasures Division bowed and asked for instructions. In the end, Yuu had to make the final decision: Nezu Jinpachi still had a bright 'cursed mark' on his neck!

We can't just kill him, can we? He's a talented person, after all, and perhaps there's a better solution:

"Hmm, Jiu Kong Yao Ai has placed a curse mark on me, how about this."

Sitting behind his desk, Yu pointed his finger, and countless black 'characters' suddenly appeared on the office floor. They flowed continuously, surging up along Nezu Jinpachi's clothes and skin, and finally gathered around the 'curse mark' on his neck, forming a seal.

"All right."

"I used the 'Evil-Sealing Formation' to seal the curse mark."

Yu waved his hand, indicating that the Metropolitan Police Department should handle the rest: whether to absorb the student into their organization or erase his memory and let him go back to school was no longer his problem—since he had been sent to Yu, it was impossible to conduct any 'human experimentation' or similar activities.

After all, the only person in the entire island nation who dared to disrespect Yu was Abe no Seimei.

Besides, when it comes to experiments, there are plenty of people eager to sign up: the way for ordinary people to rise to the top in one step is to participate in various extraordinary government experiments.

After the section chief led the bitter-faced Nezu Jinpachi away, Yu's eyes flickered.

With a wave of his hand,
Two figures appeared in the office!

"Yu-kun,"

Upon recognizing the person sitting behind the desk, Fujiko nodded slightly in greeting.

"It seems the 'journey to the underworld' went smoothly."

"Smoothly what?!"

Beside Fujisei, Kawai Mai, still shaken, writhed violently.

"You have no idea, the River of Three Crossings is a hazy yellow expanse, with spirits rushing at you from all sides! And you can't use any supernatural powers, you can only tough it out."

Suddenly losing her strength, if it weren't for carrying the Holy Son senior on her back, Kawai Mai's legs would have been so weak that she could barely move.
He became the first 'god' to be scared to death in the Sanzu River.

"I'm out now!"

Yu spread her hands, looking completely unconcerned, which made Kawai Mai roll her eyes.

"These techniques are for you,"

With a flick of her wrist, a jet of dark light shot out and instantly entered Kawai Mai's forehead.

"Hey, hey, hey?"

Watching the young policewoman groping around, Yu's gaze fell on the 'resurrected' mature policewoman: Fuji Seiko.

"Your household deity—"

"Please excuse my poor appearance, Yu-kun."

With a respectful bow, Fujiko spoke earnestly.

"I will train him properly."

In Fuji Seiko's mind, one second she was fighting desperately against the 'bloody hakama', and the next second she was carried out of the 'Sanzu River' by Kawai Mai. However, she discovered that the junior who used to follow her around had already 'ascended to godhood'!
As for the formidable enemy 'Blood Hakama', it had already been 'nine-in-one' transformed into Tamamo-no-Mae.

According to 'Tanimura Hoshino', who was in charge of leading the way, if she insisted on taking revenge, she could stay in the underworld!
Tamamo-no-Mae, banished to the underworld by a certain 'Six Paths', begins searching for her own body while simultaneously battling the forces of the 'Underworld': the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage has never ended, it has merely moved from the human world to the underworld.

Those extraordinary individuals who died in the 'Nine-Tailed Chaos' and were taken in by the Underworld could only curse as they continued to fight their 'old rivals'.

Even in death, they cannot find peace.

This is unbelievable!
Hearing this, how could Fuji Seiko still be willing to remain in the Yellow Springs?

Besides, she was worried about Kawai Mai. "Yu-kun, what are these?"

Finding herself unharmed, only with some new knowledge in her mind, Kawai Mai asked the man behind the desk in surprise.

"It is the 'basic knowledge' of the gods."

"How to classify, respond to, and block believers' prayers is the most basic of all the foundations of a deity; as a 'new person,' you have a long way to go and cannot slack off."

All of the above is nonsense!
Where in this world are there gods? Only this newly minted policewoman.

As for what he passed on to Kawai Mai, it was naturally the Yamanaka family's secret techniques: various telepathic communication and retrieval abilities, which were perfect for pretending to be a god!
Or rather, what difference is there between ordinary people and gods if they possess such abilities?
Just like in the Naruto world, ninjas often massacre villages and clans when they go on missions.

Ordinary people are really just like roadside weeds.

Just kill him!
Even in the Naruto world, what difference is there between ninjas and gods in the eyes of ordinary people?
Therefore, Pain believed that as long as he was stronger than the Five Great Shinobi Villages, he was a god—which made perfect sense. Leaving aside the concept of an 'omniscient and omnipotent' god, a so-called god is simply a strong individual.

"Can these divine spells alleviate the sounds in my head?"

"Yes, you can even communicate with your 'followers.' Keep it up, I believe in you!"

He found himself a cow or horse to practice 'mountain secret arts', cough, after becoming a god, You raised his hand to see the guest off, he had other things to deal with, he was very busy, okay?

Warring States Period

"It's finally over,"

A grand journey aimed at Abe no Seimei vanished with the breaking of the Murakumo-ga: what's the point of pointing the sword if it's broken?

With the young lady's departure, beneath the ruins of Leopard Cat City, the many dead samurai and monsters were reduced to corpses once more.

"I take refuge in Amitabha Buddha, the Tathagata's mantra is: Lord of Ambrosia, who proclaims the nectar throughout the void."

Coral was clasping her hands together, chanting sutras for the numerous corpses: although she was an exorcist, she also knew a little about scriptures: the matter of helping the dead to become Buddhas was naturally the domain of Buddhism.

On the other side, Miroku of Kakeruin thought for a moment, then asked:
"Kagome, aren't you going to chase after Inuyasha?"

Why should I go?!

Seeing his classmate turn away, Miroku couldn't help but scratch his head. Fortunately, Inuyasha had already come back.

"Inuyasha, didn't you say you would protect Kagome?"

"yes,"

Inuyasha walked back with an air of utter nonchalance.

"So you chased after her just now because you wanted to stop Kikyo from leaving."

"That's right,"

Inuyasha answered confidently once again, surprising everyone. Then Miroku silently gave him a thumbs up.

Real man!
Ga, it's alright, both of them.
???

"Forget it, I suddenly feel so stupid."

Hearing this answer, Kagome Higurashi was speechless: perhaps Inuyasha didn't have a concrete understanding of 'love' at all, and her getting hung up on these things here seemed pointless.

"Let's discuss the upcoming itinerary,"

Yes, the Murakumo-ga is broken, and the immortal army has collapsed; but that doesn't mean their story is over: Kikyo has drifted away, and it's unknown whether she still harbors any thoughts of going to hell with Inuyasha; that damned 'Naraku' is hiding somewhere, and he wasn't killed by Kusanagi, which means:
"That Naraku guy, I'll teach him a lesson!!"

The 'Man-Eating Beast of Wenjing' is seething with murderous intent!
"Isn't that Sister Kagome?"

Wild Wolf quietly approached Maitreya and asked in a low voice.

"Women, you know how it is."

What do I know?
In response to Maitreya's answer,
The wolf with the round face stared blankly into its large, bewildered eyes.

His pursuit of the female wolf was still at the stage of knocking her unconscious with a stick and dragging her back to the den.

"Miroku Onmyoji, please do not instill strange knowledge into simple yokai."

Coral, carrying the 'Flying Bone', walked over and rolled her eyes at a certain Onmyoji who was always eager to stir up trouble.

"Next, we still need to hunt down Naraku, but—"

Inuyasha has already mastered the 'Bakuryuha' technique. The next time he encounters Naraku, it will be his death!
Unfortunately, that guy appeared ten times, nine times as a puppet, and the last time as a clone. He was incredibly cunning.

the other side:
"The leopard cat clan lost,"

The Four Heavenly Kings of the Leopard Cats walked up to Sesshomaru and bowed their heads in complete submission.

They couldn't even defeat that 'Nine Void Shaking Love', so facing Sesshomaru now would be like throwing their lives away: even if their father, the Leopard Cat Lord 'Kin-Fang', were to be resurrected, he would only be going to the underworld again.

"Please be lenient."

"I don't have time to deal with my defeated opponent."

? !
Upon hearing Sesshomaru's calm reply, the three sisters, Xia Lan and Qiu Lan, who had the worst tempers, subconsciously stepped forward.

"Thank you,"

With a wave of her hand, she froze her younger siblings into ice blocks, and the eldest sister, 'Donglan,' bowed deeply.

Given Sesshomaru's arrogance, this answer essentially dismissed the past feud between the two clans.

Otherwise, slaughtering the Leopard Cat Territory and exterminating the cat clan would not be difficult for Sesshomaru given his current power and influence, because:

"We've long heard of the prowess of the eldest son of the Western Kingdom, and today we've witnessed his splendor firsthand."

Princess Abhihime of the Bird Clan, with black hair and dressed in military attire, walked over.

"If you ever need anything from the Land of Fire, just give the order, and we will never refuse!"

Abhihime has a volatile and impulsive personality, with a touch of arrogance, but she's not stupid; with Sesshomaru's current strength, he's firmly on the throne of the world's number one, and calling him the 'Demon King' wouldn't be an exaggeration; moreover, it was because of Sesshomaru that they were able to gain their freedom, and this promise should be fulfilled.

"If there are any questions about poisons or medicines, I know a little about them."

An old monster named 'Medicine Master Poison Immortal' also came over; you could tell from his name what he was good at.

"We in the Poison Mist Swamp also follow Lord Sesshomaru's lead."

"Roar roar roar roar, roar roar roar~~"

"Me too!"

Many of the demons who had only submitted and had not been killed stepped forward to bow and promise that they would even immediately join Sesshomaru's ranks if he raised his arm and called upon them.

In the world of monsters, strength reigns supreme!
Sesshomaru's ability to sever the 'Murakumo-ga' alone surpasses that of Inu no Taisho.

Two hundred years ago, Inu no Taisho did not leave him any weapons because he believed that Sesshomaru could stand alone, surpass him, and become the Demon King.

"While the power of the Breaking Fang is indeed formidable, one must know that there is always something beyond one's reach."

Totosai, riding the three-eyed bull demon, landed on the ground. Despite his previous tendency to avoid Sesshomaru, he now faced Bakusaiga with a calm expression.

What is the most powerful 'divine weapon' in the world?
The answer is, of course:
Totosai's Iron Hammer!

Tessaiga, Tenseiga, and countless other famous swords—weren't they all forged by him?
"Sharpen your fangs, Sesshomaru."

"There are many, many more powerful beings outside of this world."

"The world you used to hide in?"

Sesshomaru gripped the Bakusaiga in his hand, his face expressionless, yet his fighting spirit was high.

"Yes, I should go take a look too."
