Infinite: Start as a ghost

As for the original storyline... well, no one could possibly remember it that clearly.

Even ghosts are the same.

"What kind of place is the Great Void Forest?" Jiang Jiu asked.

“It’s a place that produces Hollows,” Adjuchas said. “Right now, seven or eight out of ten Hollows in Hueco Mundo come from the Great Hollow Forest.”

Jiang Jiu lost interest as soon as he heard that it was just a place that produced miscellaneous things.

"Let me ask you another question. Do you know where the powerful Hollows are located?" Jiang Jiu asked again. "Or rather, have you ever seen a Hollow with its mask broken?"

"What kind of Hollow mask can be broken?" Adjuchas shook his head. "Never seen one, never heard of one. Can a Hollow's mask really be broken?"

Jiang Jiu sighed. Hueco Mundo and the human world are completely different from Soul Society, and information about them is almost completely shut out.

Even in the feudal era, the human world had far more advanced communication than Hueco Mundo.

"You can go now," Jiang Jiu sighed, letting him leave.

"Um... sir." But Adjuchas didn't seem to have any intention of leaving: "Could you help me deal with my nemesis?"

"Huh?" Jiang Jiu was stunned, looking at the somewhat silly Adjuchas in disbelief: "Did I hear that right?"

Chapter 162 False Flash

Jiang Jiu said irritably, "Get out of here before I change my mind."

"Alright." Upon seeing this, Adjuchas turned and left without saying another word.

Jiang Jiu wandered aimlessly again.

After a while, the Adjuchas returned.

Jiang Jiu: "..."

"Do you think I won't kill you?"

Adjuchas shook his head frantically: "No, no, no, sir, that's not what I meant."

Jiang Jiu patiently asked, "So what exactly do you want to do?"

After thinking for a moment, Adjuchas said, "My lord, I think there is something you might be interested in."

"explain……"

"In the Great Hollow Forest... there is a Shinigami, a Shinigami that makes all Hollows tremble with fear."

Jiang Jiu was taken aback: "There's a Grim Reaper in the Great Void Forest?"

Adjuchas nodded and said, "Yes, my lord, this Grim Reaper has been in the Great Hollow Forest for at least five hundred years, and no Hollow has ever been able to kill him."

"Oh?" Jiang Jiu's interest was piqued upon hearing this. "Where?"

“The Great Forest of Hollows,” Adjuchas said, bewildered.

Jiang Jiu was speechless: "I asked you where the Great Void Forest is!"

“Oh, oh,” Adjuchas hurriedly said, “It’s right under the sand.”

"Under the sand layer?" Jiang Jiu asked, "About how deep?"

"How deep?" Adjuchas scratched his head with his only remaining hand. "I don't know, maybe a dozen of me."

This Adjuchas is over ten meters long, and according to it, it would probably dive down to a depth of two or three hundred meters.

After assessing the distance, the power of the royal seal was activated again, and Jiang Jiu disappeared from Adjuchas's sight.

Once he disappeared, Adjuchas immediately changed his previous honest demeanor, staring coldly at the spot where Jiang Jiu had vanished.

"Hmph, you've prevented me from ever advancing to the Vastod realm in this lifetime, how could I possibly let you get away with this!"

How could Adjuchas, the leader of the Kyrians, possibly have low intelligence?

It was all a disguise.

"Hmph, I have to report this to those idiots, the Arrancar. Even if he manages to leave the Great Hollow Forest alive, he won't escape their pursuit."

Jiang Jiu was completely unaware of this, and he readily believed the Adjuchas.

A moment later, he quickly arrived inside the Great Void Forest.

The moment their feet touched the ground, a phantom attack came.

"Hmm?" Jiang Jiu was slightly startled and immediately used Instant Step to leave the spot.

After dodging it, what came into view was an overwhelming void.

"As expected, it truly lives up to its reputation as the birthplace of Hollows." Looking at the Hollows scattered all over the ground, Jiang Jiu felt nothing at all.

A powerful burst of spiritual pressure instantly blew the weak Hollows away into the distance.

The remaining few Kylian were also easily killed.

Along the way, Jiang Jiu killed off the Hollows while searching for Adjuchas.

He killed for a full half hour, and after killing hundreds of Void creatures, he finally found an Adjuchas.

"Death again?" Adjuchas exclaimed.

"The Grim Reaper in the north is already giving me enough headaches, how come another one has arrived?"

"Men, charge!"

A dozen or so Kyrian Cero were prepared and launched.

But how could a dozen or so Kylian Cero flashes possibly harm Jiang Jiu?

With a few swift movements, more than a dozen Kyrians vanished under his blade.

"Hey, Adjuchas, you just said there's a Grim Reaper in the northern part of the Great Hollow Forest, right?"

"Go to hell." Adjuchas completely ignored Jiang Jiu and threw a punch directly at him.

With a single, decisive strike, the Adjuchas also died at Jiang Jiu's hands.

Now that the direction of the mysterious Grim Reaper has been determined, there's no need for him to leave any survivors.

Miniature Void, small Void, medium Void, large Void—all kinds of Voids are available here, and each one is different.

Animal-like, opposite sex, insect-like, plant-like, object-like, and so on—Jiang Jiu's eyes were truly opened.

After killing Adjuchas, the number of Kylians decreased significantly; you could only encounter one or two every ten minutes.

Suddenly, he stopped and looked thoughtfully at the newly discovered Kylian.

He slashed the Hollow next to the Killian with one blow to attract its attention, and then quietly waited for it to unleash a Cero.

Sure enough, red light condensed in Killian's mouth and soon shot towards Jiang Jiu.

Jiang Jiu neither dodged nor evaded, but instead endured the blow with her bare body.

"Is this Cero?" Jiang Jiu endured the damage, carefully sensing the spiritual structure of Cero.

Seeing that Jiang Jiu was hit by the Cero, dozens of Hollows rushed towards him desperately, trying to devour his "corpse".

However, they were met with several flashes of sword light.

The Killian has zero intelligence, but its perception of spiritual pressure is quite good.

The others thought Jiang Jiu was dead, but Kylian knew that Jiang Jiu was still alive and kicking, so he fired another Cero.

Jiang was saved once again.

Jiang Jiu continued to attack with a barrage of Cero, but his aura showed no signs of weakening.

Even Killian, whose intelligence was comparable to that of a wild beast, sensed that something was amiss.

It turned and ran away.

"Want to escape?"

"Well... since you taught me how to use Cero, I'll repay you with this move."

As he spoke, Jiang Jiu raised his Zanpakuto with an evil smile, and red spiritual pressure began to condense at the tip of the blade.

Chapter 163 Gnawing

"Tch..." Jiang Jiu said with dissatisfaction as he ran northward, "I didn't expect that I could only release a normal red Cero."

"It seems that the power of the void needs to be further strengthened."

Gradually, he stopped and thought, "Right, I shouldn't kill a Hollow of Adjuchas' level directly; I should absorb their spiritual pressure instead."

In the outer circle, Jiang Jiu spared one Adjuchas, and in the Great Void Forest, he also killed one.

He's now somewhat annoyed about this; he should have absorbed it directly.

In the vast Great Forest of Hollows, encountering even one or two Adjuchas is no easy feat.

The Killian is alright; you can see one in five minutes if you're lucky, and at the latest, within half an hour.

Adjuchas is truly nowhere to be found.

The longer time passed, the more regretful Jiang Jiu felt.

His original purpose in coming to Hueco Mundo was to find a few Arrancar to train in Hollowfication. Based on his current combat strength, he was probably still far from being able to face Aizen in the future.

That's why they took a risky move, coming to Hueco Mundo at the risk of being exposed.

He could have relied on the Masked Legion to help him with his training, but Jiang saved himself by making a fool of himself and becoming an enemy of the entire faction.

Now, he had no choice but to research the method of using masks himself.

The Arrancars are not united, so fighting them is more worthwhile than dealing with the Visoreds.

He still doesn't know the location of Hueco Mundo, and his search for that Grim Reaper in the Great Hueco Mundo Forest isn't just a random act based on personal preference.

He wanted to ask the Grim Reaper about the location of Hueco Mundo, to see if that person knew.

Aizen's conquest of Hueco Mundo wasn't something that happened in a short time. That Shinigami had been in the Forest of Menreiki for hundreds of years, so he likely knew some information.

After killing and walking for more than an hour, they finally came across another Kyrian group.

Jiang Jiu's eyes lit up, and he rushed towards the Kylian group without waiting.
