Infinite: Start as a ghost

Jiang Jiu was in this state when he saved Wang Yin.

After discovering this feature, his speed increased several times over.

A dozen minutes later, Jiang Jiu, having traversed an unknown distance, arrived outside the realm of reincarnation.

"So the so-called Realm of Reincarnation is actually a vast forest?" Jiang Jiu chuckled and stepped into the realm.

The Land of Reincarnation is home to many humanoid animals, but werewolves are the most numerous.

In the original work, only werewolves appeared; other races did not appear.

Heaven has three punishments for sins.

One type is minor sins, which lead to being relegated to Rukongai and living a life of poverty, where even poverty is considered a blessing.

Many more are displaced, living on the streets, their lives hanging by a thread.

One is a grave sin, which is to be reduced to the status of an animal.

The last type is those who have committed heinous crimes and are unforgivable. Heaven deprives them of the right to reincarnation and sends them to hell.

The so-called beasts are those who receive the second type of punishment from Heaven.

Most of these people were selfish and self-serving in life; their instinct was to be greedy for life, afraid of death, and bully the weak.

But there are exceptions.

Some people make mistakes in life, but after death they constantly repent and cultivate themselves, transforming from beast form to human form through their own efforts.

Therefore, there are two kinds of souls in the realm of reincarnation.

One is the primitive form of a beast, and the other is the beastman form like Komamura Sajin.

The difficulty of cultivating into human form is like ascending to heaven; there have only been a handful of examples in tens of thousands of years.

In recent centuries, there has only been one Komamura Sajin.

To attain human form, one must not only possess spiritual pressure comparable to that of a captain, but also have a repentant heart.

Cultivating spiritual pressure to the level of a captain is difficult enough, but changing one's mindset is the truly most difficult part.

Of course, only Komamura Sajin has achieved human form, but there are other human forms that did not come from cultivation.

They are the original species of the animal realm.

Jiang Jiu's intervention immediately attracted the attention of the creatures within the territory.

In an instant, black bears, tigers, lions, and wolves appeared and surrounded Jiang Jiutuan.

"Take me to see the chieftain of the wolf clan," Jiang Jiu said calmly, "or I'll send you all to your deaths!"

As he spoke, his spiritual pressure suddenly erupted, frightening all the beasts into retreating.

The most effective way to deal with them is through intimidation.

In an instant, birds and beasts scattered, all frightened away. What fool would dare to stay and lead the way for him?

Jiang Jiu paid no attention to their escape. He set his sights on the wild wolves and instantly chased after them.

In a single instant, he grabbed the wolf by the neck: "I said, take me to see your chieftain, didn't you hear me?"

"Let...let go, please...please..." the wolf howled in agony.

Jiang Jiu loosened her fingers: "Don't try anything funny again, or you'll never have the chance to take me to see your clan leader again."

"Cough cough!" The wolf coughed painfully a few times before it recovered: "Yes, yes, I'll take you there right away, sir."

Less than half an hour later, the wolf led Jiang Jiu to a huge, towering tree.

This giant tree is so enormous that it would take about 15-20 people to encircle it.

There was a very large hollow under the tree, where the chief of the wolf clan rested.

"Chief...Chief..." Upon seeing the chief, the wolf rushed towards him as if it had found a lifeline and hid behind him.

"Human, what do you want with me?" the wolf clan chief asked.

"Are you the chieftain of the wolf clan?" Jiang Jiu laughed. "You're really big! You're as big as five of me!"

"Human, quickly state your purpose, or don't blame me for being impolite," the wolf clan chief roared.

"The art of human transformation," Jiang Jiu said. "Hand over the art of human transformation."

The wolf clan chief suddenly stood up: "Where did you learn about this secret technique? Was it that traitor Komamura Sajin who told you?"

"It's not your place to question me," Jiang Jiu said. "Hand it over, and I might spare your life!"

"Utterly laughable!" roared the wolf clan chief. "Mere humans dare to run wild in the Realm of Reincarnation! Prepare to die!"

"Intangible!" Jiang Jiu suddenly released his spiritual pressure: "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Hmm?" The wolf clan chief stopped what he was doing for a moment: "Are you a Hollow or a Grim Reaper?"

"I told you, it's not your place to ask me," Jiang Jiu said coldly. "Hand over the secret technique, or die. Choose one."

Despite being several sizes larger than Biachukas, Jiang Jiu's imposing presence overwhelmed the wolf clan chief.

"This is your last chance," Jiang Jiu said. "The entire Gotei 13 is going into battle, so don't expect any help from them."

"If you dare refuse again, I will slaughter all the wolf clan's offspring before I ask you for anything!"

Chapter 196 Breakup

"If you dare to refuse again, I will kill the entire Land of Reincarnation, including the traitor you mentioned."

"This is your last chance to speak. I hope you won't disappoint me!"

Feeling the spiritual pressure that was far stronger than his own, the wolf clan chief fell silent.

He didn't know if Jiang Jiu would really do such a thing, but he didn't dare to gamble.

Because... he really has the ability to do that.

They are sinners, but ultimately not the kind of unforgivable sinners sent to hell; they also have feelings and attachments.

"Fine, I'll tell you then." The wolf clan chief sighed, but a strange glint flashed in his eyes: "But you are human, so I can't guarantee whether the humanization technique will work on you."

That glint of light didn't escape Jiang Jiu's eyes. He knew what the wolf clan chief was planning, but he didn't expose him.

"Just tell me," Jiang Jiu said with a smile. "I'll take responsibility for whether it works or not. If it really doesn't work, I won't blame you."

"Alright!" This time, the wolf clan chief agreed very readily.

The so-called humanization technique is a secret technique that involves overdrawing one's life force to obtain spiritual pressure.

To learn this secret technique, two conditions are required.

The ritual circle and the heart of the practitioner!

The wolf clan chief told Jiang Jiu about the magic array ritual, urging him to leave his base camp immediately.

After Jiang Jiu left, the wolf clan chief's eyes were mysterious and unfathomable: "Hmph, let's see how long you can live."

"The Humanization Technique, regardless of whether it works for you or not, once you activate this secret technique, your life can only be sustained for the duration of one battle."

"How long it will take depends on how much life force you have left."

"Hmph, fine. No matter how you learned of this secret technique, or what you intend to do with it, as long as it doesn't affect the Realm of Reincarnation, what does it matter if this world changes its master?"

"None of this is my business."

Jiang Jiuxin left the Realm of Reincarnation with satisfaction, having mastered the technique of humanization.

Coming here is troublesome, but returning is very simple. The King's Seal will automatically mark the spatial coordinates of the places he has been.

He went straight to the Great Book Gallery: "How are you all? Have you had your fill of reading?"

Shiba Kukaku's eyes were gloomy, and it was unclear what he had seen: "It seems that I really underestimated the dark side of the nobles."

Yanlong said, "I've told you before, little girl, you know too little about the dark side of Soul Society."

"So, what are you planning to do next?"

"There's nothing I can do." Shiba Kukaku took a puff of his pipe. "All I can do is not be your enemy."

"No matter how dark the nobles are, they are still the ones who maintain order in Soul Society."

"Blindly eliminating them will bring another disaster to Soul Society, which is not what I want to see."

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Yanlong roared. "Let them continue to run rampant?"

Shiba Kukaku took another puff of his pipe: "It seems I need to have a serious talk with Yoruichi and Kuchiki about this."

"What, you can't bring yourself to do it?" Jiang Jiu laughed. "I don't care. That was your purpose in infiltrating."

Yanlong was silent for a moment: "Old Ghost, I think..."

Jiang Jiu was taken aback: "You want to... leave me and be with this Ms. Zhibo?"

Yanlong did not answer.

Jiang Jiu sighed, "Damn it, I've been taking care of you for two or three months, and you're not even as good as fighting with some girl?"

Yanlong said, "If I find that things are beyond saving, I will still return to your side."

"Ichinose, what about you?" Jiang Jiu asked.

“I’ve already died once,” Ichinose said. “I originally only wanted to protect Koga-sama and Coral Island-sama for the rest of my life, but you are the one who gave me the meaning to be alive again.”

"Although reforming Soul Society is also my goal, I would prefer to follow you, sir."

"Get out of my way," Jiang Jiu cursed. "What the hell are you saying? Aren't you implying that you want to change the Soul Society?"

Ichinose hurriedly explained, "No, sir, don't misunderstand..."

"Misunderstanding my foot!" Jiang Jiu exclaimed. "Go and join them. They're short-handed and need an expert like you to lend a hand."

Shiba Kukaku quickly replied, "I am extremely grateful."

Ichinose could only swallow his words, his eyes dimming as he remained silent.

"Now that things have come to this, I can only give you one more piece of advice," Jiang Jiu said. "The Kuchiki family can be trusted, but the Shihōin family... apart from Yoruichi, cannot be trusted."

"The Tsunayoshi family... is untrustworthy."

"The family that rules Hell... is also untrustworthy."
