I cultivate a deity in Tokyo

In the blink of an eye, the silver light entered Kotaro's body and penetrated his body.

Under Shiraki Shun's control, like a hunting dog that has caught the scent of its prey, it went straight for the Japanese mother and baby in front of her chest.

To carry out precise, nanometer-level strikes against Japanese mothers and infants.

puff.

Under the light of the Crescent Moon Palm, the Japanese mother and baby were vaporized into nothingness and annihilated within Kotaro's body.

At the very moment the Japanese mother and baby were torn apart, Kotaro's eyes lit up.

It vaguely sensed that the restrictions within its body had been lifted.

The demonic power absorbed by the Japanese mother and baby instantly returned to its body.

At this moment, Kotaro could feel the demonic power within his body increasing wildly.

In a very short moment, it was elevated to an unprecedented level!

"Awoo!"

Kotaro let out a wild roar, and the sudden surge of demonic power caused it to involuntarily reveal its demonic form.

Under the moonlight, a giant, jet-black wolf with fur gleaming coldly replaced the憨憨 (simple and honest) Akita dog and appeared in the same spot.

Looking at his strong demon body, Kotaro couldn't help but shed tears.

It slowly lowered its head towards Shiramu Jun, its massive, mountain-like body bowing down.

He choked up a little as he spoke.

"Master Bai Mu, Xiao Quan has returned after ten years of arduous training!"

Ok?

What did you say

Ten years of arduous practice?

Shiraki Shun, who had been smiling, suddenly looked somewhat surprised.

He also noticed that Kotaro's demonic power had increased.

However, it only increased from ten points of demonic power to thirty points of demonic power.

Is this the result of ten years of arduous practice?

Shiraki Shun found it hard to believe.

If I spend a day lingering by the side of a deity, gaining twenty points of mana is a piece of cake.

ten years?

Ten days, right?

Even if there are differences in cultivation speed between monsters and humans, could the difference be this great?

Is it

"Lord Kotaro, are you one of those monsters with incredibly poor talent, belonging to the bottom of the class?" Shiraki-kun couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing this, Kotaro remained silent for a long time.

"Master, your words are a bit hurtful to the demon."

"The puppy's aptitude is actually quite good."

Upon hearing this answer, Shiramu Jun suddenly fell silent.

After ten years of cultivation, he only managed to accumulate about twenty points of magical power. How dare he call himself a monster with good aptitude?

Is this some kind of lame joke?

I actually laughed.

However, if what Kotaro said is true...

That's a lot of information.

Before Bai Mujun could come up with a solution, his phone suddenly rang.

Upon opening it, I saw a message from Yuukawa Arashi.

"Shiraki-kun, I've found the clue about the monster you mentioned."

"There is a record in the scripture library of Raimyo-ji Temple that during the Meiji Restoration, a monster attacked the monks of Honno-ji Temple in Kyoto and stole the temple's sacred artifacts."

"The appearance of the monster recorded above is almost exactly the same as that described by Shiraki-kun."

"And the Shinto regalia that Honnoji Temple lost was a golden bowl!"

They actually found it?

Shiraki Jun was somewhat surprised.

He knew that during the Meiji Restoration, Emperor Meiji had strongly promoted Shintoism and issued an edict separating Shinto and Buddhism.

It was this order that led to the rejection and destruction of Buddhism in Japan, sparking numerous movements to abolish Buddhism and destroy Buddhist teachings in many places.

If a demon wanted to attack Buddhism, this would indeed be one of the best opportunities.

However, that wasn't Shiraki Shun's focus.

He put down his phone in a daze.

Meiji Restoration?

That happened 150 years ago!

That blue-faced monk had been cultivating for over 150 years.

In such a long time, you've only cultivated six hundred points of demonic power?

If we take ourselves as the template, shouldn't 600 points of demonic power be equivalent to a demon who has cultivated for about 20 days?

Even if it's the difference in cultivation between humans and yokai, at most it should only be a yokai that has cultivated for one or two years, right?

How could it be a great demon that's hundreds of years old?

and many more.

A thought flashed through Bai Mujun's mind.

If we don't use ourselves as a model, but instead use Kotaro as an example—

After one year of cultivation, you will gain two points of magical power.

The six hundred points of demonic power within that blue-faced male demon monk were equivalent to three hundred years of cultivation.

This result is almost identical to the information provided by Hanekawa Arashi.

But if we really calculate it that way...

Shiraki Shun took a deep breath.

I currently have 30,000 mana points.

It's equivalent to cultivation

Fifteen thousand years?

Who exactly is the monster?

Chapter Fifty-Four: A Small Step Forward

Shiramu Jun originally thought that he was just a template for an ordinary person after he transmigrated.

To succeed, one must rely on one's own hard work and tireless efforts to elevate Tenji Shrine to the pinnacle of Shintoism and make it a revered shrine in Japan.

But now it seems

My seemingly ordinary cultivation method is actually quite extraordinary?

A deity enhancing their own magical power once is equivalent to a demon cultivating for ten years.

One day of idling in this hall is equivalent to ten years of arduous training for demons.

Furthermore, recently, the rate at which mana increases has accelerated.

If the monsters found out about this, they'd probably cry their eyes out, right?

She cried while making accusations.

This isn't cultivation at all!

This is cheating!

Even without considering the monsters' reactions, Shiraki Shun himself could hardly believe it.

He always believed that he was just a little more talented than other priests in Shintoism and had a slightly closer relationship with the gods.

But now it seems things aren't so simple.

I am not a novice priest

Or is he an unparalleled genius?

Or the super-double kind?

It also

too strong.

From now on, my persona has become that of a handsome, powerful, and virtuous priest.

The title is a bit long.

But it sounds pretty good.

It took Bai Mujun three minutes to calm down after this shift in his mindset.

After calming down, he let out a long breath and stretched.

Looking at the ancient shrine behind him, bathed in the night and filled with the chirping of insects, a smile appeared on his face.

Once you accept this premise and realize that you are very strong...

A sense of peace naturally settled over me.
