I cultivate a deity in Tokyo

Xuanwu is the name of one of the shikigami.

Although, in theory, it is perfectly normal for Abe no Seimei to command shikigami.

But what was unexpected about Shiraki Shun was...

These three spirits are clearly the shikigami of Abe no Seimei.

But how could the power emanating from his body be demonic energy?

It's important to understand that shikigami are different from ordinary spirits; their power comes entirely from their master.

If they emanate demonic power...

Doesn't that mean that Abe no Seimei was also a monster?

Is he the great demon hiding in Tokyo?

Shiraki Shun looked at Abe no Seimei with some surprise.

I don't know what methods he used.

Even from a clear perspective, the other party is completely human.

Shiramu Jun withdrew his gaze and said thoughtfully.

"So, it was also Lord Abe who went to Shikoku to threaten Lord Cat Demon with his prophecy?"

This is not hard to imagine.

The nine-tailed cat demon has been cultivating for nearly a thousand years.

And a thousand years ago

It happened to be during Japan's Heian period.

That era was when Abe no Seimei was still active as an Onmyoji (a type of yin-yang master).

Abe no Seimei did not refute this statement.

He simply stared at Shiramu Jun with his grayish-white eyes.

Shiraki Shun continued.

"As for the content of His Excellency Abe's prediction at that time..."

"I guess it's related to the gods, no, to Takamagahara."

"Isn't that right, Your Excellency Abe?"

He looked at Abe no Seimei.

Under Shiraki Shun's calm gaze, Abe no Seimei finally broke his silence.

He began to speak.

"good."

“A thousand years ago, I devised a plan to find that cat demon.”

"With the help of its prophecy, I have ascended to Takamagahara."

"But I was too weak back then and couldn't fight against those gods. I could only flee back in a sorry state."

"But this time is different."

"This time, it will be those cowardly gods who flee in disarray!"

He paused for a moment, looked at Bai Mujun, and said resentfully.

"You would never have noticed any of this otherwise."

"In my plan, your battle with the Demon of Ceasefire that day should have attracted the attention of the gods."

"When you are led to Takamagahara, I will take the opportunity to attack."

"But I didn't expect that."

"That Amaterasu, how could she be so indifferent?"

At this point, Abe no Seimei's pale eyes were already bloodshot.

He said angrily.

"This is the true nature of those gods!"

"Even though Ashihara is on the verge of collapse, they're still hiding in the sky!"

"It's just like the time of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons a thousand years ago!"

"If they are gods, why don't they show themselves and protect us?"

"Because they don't care about this Reed Plain at all, they don't care about us lowly humans!"

"If that's the case, what's the point of having these gods?"

Seeing Abe no Seimei's increasingly irritable expression, Shiraki Shun suddenly asked.

"So, what exactly do you intend to do after you arrive in Takamagahara?"

Abe no Seimei smiled at this question, which was quite unusual for him.

"Priest, do you still remember Project Eye of the Sun?"

Shiraki Shun nodded.

"In fact, reviving the Ghost of Ceasefire is just a small step in that plan."

"What I'm about to do is the real Eye of the Sun Project!" Abe no Seimei's expression was somewhat fanatical.

"Listen carefully, this is the so-called Eye of the Sun Project."

"It was when I went to Takamagahara and cut off Amaterasu's head."

"Let that supreme goddess see for herself the reed plains she despises!"

Upon hearing such audacious words, Bai Mujun was slightly taken aback.

Abe no Seimei's target was actually Amaterasu Omikami?

He couldn't help but frown.

"Is it because of this that you manipulate the demons of the Oni faction to wreak havoc on Japan at will?"

"I find it difficult to agree with this approach."

"This is a war between humans and gods, and bloodshed is inevitable."

Abe no Seimei gazed into Shiraki Shun's eyes, then slowly reached into his sleeve.

He spoke as he explored.

"When I climbed Takamagahara, I was already over eighty years old."

"At that time, my four souls were too old to bear the weight of my souls."

"So all that remains is the spirit that sustains my beliefs."

"Then, after returning from Takamagahara, I created new Onmyōdō techniques to use the souls of yokai to fill the three souls I had lost."

"So I can only maintain a human state for six hours a day."

"Six hours later, my body will be taken over by the consciousness of various monsters."

"Priest, I don't have much time left for you."

After he finished speaking, he took out a golden bowl from his sleeve.

The golden bowl is exactly the same as the one that Shiraki Shun obtained after exorcising the blue-faced monk.

Dragging the golden bowl, Abe no Seimei turned to look at Shiraki Shun.

“You don’t seem surprised.”

"I think I have a pretty good idea," Bai Mujun nodded.

"How did you guess that?" Abe no Seimei asked with great interest.

“After I entered the divine realm, all electronic devices were unable to transmit signals,” Bai Mujun said thoughtfully.

"The only thing that can monitor my movements is a divine artifact."

Abe nods.

"All the sacred artifacts in Japan now are the ones I brought back to Ashihara when I returned from Takamagahara last time."

"After that, I founded the Exorcism Alliance, allowing these divine artifacts to circulate among various parties."

"At the same time, I also tampered with all the divine artifacts."

"They not only know the movements of humans, but also the movements of monsters."

"And now, I will use these divine artifacts to resurrect the swords and blades that slay gods."

"Are you referring to Shuten-dōji?" Shiraki Shun suddenly asked.

Abe no Seimei looked at Shiraki Shun with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

There was no response.

Instead, he flicked his fingers and tapped the golden bowl.

A massive body, headless except for the neck and below, suddenly appeared in front of him.

It was the corpse of the demon who stopped the fighting.

At the same time, a slightly curved katana also appeared.

The cold blade reflected the sharp moonlight.

Dojigiri Yasutsuna floated in front of Abe no Seimei.

next moment.

A huge rock, filled with countless holes like a honeycomb, appeared to the left of Abe no Seimei.

It was shrouded in countless miasma and resentment, and as soon as it appeared, it quickly spread throughout the surrounding area.

At the same time, three ancient bronze swords of varying lengths floated to the right of Abe no Seimei.
