They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 29 Nothing to do tomorrow, listen to music in the brothel

A loud bang suddenly echoed through the peaceful valley behind the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, sending trees and dirt flying as if it had been hit by a cannonball.

However, the headquarters and members of the Butterfly House in the mountains have gotten used to it. Three months have passed since the last meeting of the pillars. During these three months, similar noises have been occurring on the mountain every day, and now all the wild birds and beasts have been scared away.

The view shifts to the site of the explosion, where two figures are seen fighting each other.

The two fighting are Dan Lei and Beimingyu Xingming.

At this moment, Himejima Gyomei is using the fifth form of Rock Breathing: Wara Rin Gyobu, constantly throwing and retrieving a chained meteor hammer and axe.

With the blessing of the Hunting Fate, its breathing technique became twice as penetrating and powerful. An attack that could already create a large crater in the ground was now like a direct earthquake.

However, Dan Lei, who was holding a double-edged heavy sword that was two palms wide in one hand, was completely unaffected by the shock. He dodged at high speed like a fish swimming with lightning amidst the vibrations, easily avoiding all the attacks.

Then, seizing an opportunity, he closed in with a lightning flash, and then struck the axe that was being parried by Beimingyu Xingming with his sword, knocking him back more than three meters.

Fortunately, Dan Lei didn't pursue them after reaching this point, but instead said...
"Alright, I've now mastered all of Thunder Breathing. So, I've at least learned all the techniques of the five basic breathing styles. Mr. Himejima Gyomei, thank you for your sparring."

After hearing this, Beimingyu Xingming patted his chest and said...
"You're too kind, Mr. Danlei. You taught us how to use the power of destiny, so a little sparring is only right. Amitabha."

Dan Lei didn't stand on ceremony after hearing this, because this scene had become the norm over the past three months.

After entering this world through the Path of Fate, Sanemi Shinazugawa, Gyomei Himejima, and Shinobu Kocho, who had embarked on their own path of fate, immediately wanted to find some demons to test their newly acquired powers.

Moreover, the two people ahead of them wanted to choose Nezuko.

Upon hearing this, Danlei said that he had spent most of the day in class, but it had all been for nothing.

Since words won't convince these guys, and Dan Lei has just obtained the Hunting Destiny, and even the Star God's Gaze, then the only option is to use fists to make them obey.

Thus, Shinazugawa Sanemi, whose sword had already broken, was sent flying again by Dan Lei's punch.

As for Himejima Gyomei, Dan Lei directly ordered Sasaki Kojiro to take action.

The next second, Sasaki Kojiro's sword was directly against Himejima Gyomei's shoulder. His C-rank strength made him feel like a mountain was pressing down on his shoulder, making it impossible for him to stand up.

Seeing the tragic fates of the other two, Shinobu Kocho naturally expressed her willingness to listen to Dan Lei and undergo special training.

At this time, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, who had also embarked on a hunting journey, also stepped forward to vouch for him.

The others, seeing that their lord had spoken in this way and that opposing him would likely result in a beating, let the siblings off the hook.

Next came the training time. Several pillars who hadn't yet embarked on their destiny path were quite curious about how strong the boost would be after they did.

Then, Shinazugawa Sanemi, who randomly picked up a Nichirin Blade, fought against Uzui Tengen and Rengoku Kyojuro, winning both matches. Moreover, after getting used to the power in the first match, Rengoku Kyojuro was defeated much faster than Uzui Tengen.

Of course, getting carried away, he still wanted to fight Dan Lei, but ended up getting thrashed again.

Here, Dan Lei fully demonstrates the difference between those whose destinies are glanced upon by the Star God and ordinary destinies.

Both of them had just embarked on their hunting journeys, but Danlei could draw upon more than ten times the power of Shinazugawa Sanemi.

With such a disparity in absolute power, technique becomes irrelevant. And if magic is taken into account, well, with the added power of the Hunting Force, Dan Lei's magic has become incredibly powerful. He's now fearless even if three or four pillars attack him at once.

Of course, Dan Lei got cocky towards the end and went to challenge Sasaki Kojiro.

As expected, Sasaki Kojiro didn't even need to use the Swallow Return technique, defeating Danlei, who had used all his skills, with just ordinary sword moves. According to Sasaki Kojiro, Danlei's moves were indeed much more powerful after obtaining the power of the Hunting Path, but his methods were still too monotonous and direct, and easy to dodge as long as one's speed wasn't too far behind Danlei's.

As for magic, Dan Lei wouldn't use any elaborate magic tricks on Sasaki Kojiro that required special setup. He could easily cut down ordinary elemental missile attacks or magic threads with just two slashes.

So for the next three months, Dan Lei stayed in the back mountain of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, practicing swordsmanship with the Pillars every day, and also learned all five basic breathing techniques.

Yes, to thank Dan-rei for leading the Demon Slayer Corps onto the path of hunting, Kagaya Ubuyashiki really handed over all the secrets of the Five Breathing Techniques to Dan-rei, and even found a swordsmith from the sword-making village to forge two suitable weapons for Dan-rei and Kojiro Sasaki.

Considering that it would be troublesome to replace the Nichirin Blade every time to kill demons, Dan Lei accepted Kagaya Ubuyashiki's offer.

However, if Sasaki Kojiro wants to take the real sword, he has to discard it when he becomes a spirit.

So Sasaki Kojiro refused, saying he didn't know how to use other swords.

However, forging a sword for Dan Lei was actually full of twists and turns, because Dan Lei felt that ordinary swords were too light, but he also found the swords that were as thin as door panels ugly.

This was a huge challenge for the swordsmiths in the village, but they risked their reputation and finally managed to forge a heavy sword that was two palms wide.

Dan Lei knew this was their limit, so he didn't push them too hard.

Actually, it's partly my fault for not knowing how to forge swords. I'm okay at refining metals, but forging them into swords is overestimating myself. After all, Shirou Emiya's talent is something I can only envy.

During the day, Danlei practices swordsmanship, while at night, he studies demon blood in the Butterfly Mansion and discusses poisons and pharmacology with Shinobu Kocho.

After completing a day of training with Himejima Gyomei, Danlei returned to the Butterfly Mansion as usual, intending to ask Tanjiro if he had received any news from Tamayo.

She had already given Enmu and Byakuya's blood to Tanjiro, but three months had passed without any news about her request to meet, as if the other party had forgotten about it.

Danlei's research on demon blood has hit a bottleneck, while Shinobu Kocho has improved the anti-demon poison by using the blood of two Lower Moon demons.

Seeing others' research progress rapidly every day while not making any progress myself felt unpleasant, so Danlei decided to start urging them on.

However, after returning to the Butterfly House, Dan Lei had not yet found Tanjiro practicing [Complete Collection Normal Mode], but instead, Uzui Tengen came looking for him first.

As soon as he saw Danlei, he rushed over and said...

"Mr. Danlei, I need your help."

Dan Lei was taken aback. The Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps all had rather strange tempers, but they all had an arrogance in their bones, especially this guy in front of him who kept spouting fancy words.

Although this person wouldn't spout nonsense about being a god in front of Dan Lei, it's extremely rare for him to come up to Dan Lei asking for help right away.

Out of curiosity, Danlei listened to what it was about.

As it turned out, the time for the Yu Guo arc had arrived. The three wives of the life-winner, Yu Zui Tengen, had disappeared in the Yu Guo red-light district, and he hoped that Dan Lei, who had miraculous abilities, could help rescue them.

Actually, Dan Lei really admires Yu Zui Tianyuan. He sent his three beautiful wives to the red-light district of this era. Although his three wives were capable of protecting themselves, he was really not afraid that he would wake up one day to find his hair had turned from white to green.

However, since it was already time for the You Guo chapter, Dan Lei felt it was about time to end this stage of his cultivation.

Therefore, Danlei decided that if he had nothing to do tomorrow, he would go to a brothel to listen to music.
