Infinite: Start as a ghost

Both options are related to his four-dimensional attributes.

Chapter 68 Named After the Place

"Blood Demon Art O Evolution." Jiang Jiu silently recited in his heart, and his body immediately changed.

The change is... he's gotten a whole size bigger.

It's that simple.

"It's over?" Jiang Jiu asked unwillingly, "Is that all?"

"Damn it, I only grew half a meter taller and got a bit stronger, and then that was it?"

"What the hell is this for?"

"I've gotten so much bigger, I can't even use my Nichirin Blade anymore, the hilt is as thin as a toothpick, how am I supposed to hold it..."

He looked up at the sky: "Damn it, I just grew so big that my clothes ripped. I have to get down the mountain quickly, or the sun will come out soon."

At that moment, he envied the Hulk.

When he returned to headquarters, he looked extremely disheveled.

Having only had experience dealing with sunlight on Fujikasayama before, I don't know how to cope with the sun now that I'm outdoors.

So what should have been a two-day journey took him a whole week to complete, causing the Demon Slayer Corps to send people everywhere to look for him.

"Pfft, Mr. Oni is just too cute." Love Pillar almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Shinazugawa, of course, wouldn't let such an opportunity pass by, and relentlessly mocked them.

Kagaya also joked, "It's a pity I can't see anymore, otherwise I really want to see what you look like now."

The others reacted indifferently and showed little interest in him.

He changed into a clean set of clothes; the ones he had worn before were stolen on the way.

Yaozai said, "Everyone, stay at my house tonight and get some rest. The promotion ceremony will be held tomorrow."

The next day, Jiang Jiu walked out of the guest room dressed in a presentable manner.

This outfit was requested by Kagaya.

He was dressed in a white apricot-colored gauze robe, with a tea-green geometric patterned belt tied around his waist. His long hair, like clouds, made him look truly gentle and refined.

The Nichirin Blade hanging at his waist exudes an extraordinary aura, like a refined poet-swordsman.

Renju blushed at the sight of his handsome face.

However, Juechen's aura was useless in front of these roughnecks; apart from Lianzhu, everyone ignored him.

At this moment, the Demon Slayer Corps completely surrounded Kagaya's house.

The Hidden Squad members directed the order, while the Demon Slayer Corps members now served as the logistics team, constantly busy.

Around noon, all the setup was completed.

Looking at the lively atmosphere, Jiang Jiu kept sighing.

He was originally just a homebody who hated crowded places.

But today, he was deeply moved and touched by the festive atmosphere.

"Is such a grand affair necessary? The other pillars don't receive this kind of treatment, do they?"

Jiang Jiu didn't believe that other people would hold such a grand ceremony when they became pillars.

“Everyone else is low-key, but you’re different,” Yaozai said with a smile. “You’re special.”

"What's so special about me?" Jiang Jiu asked, puzzled.

Kagaya laughed and said, "You... are the first demon to become a Demon Slayer Corps member, and also the first demon to become a Pillar as a demon."

“This is very significant to us. You, Mizuko, Ms. Tamayo, and Mr. Yushiro have shown us a possibility.”

"You have brought a new direction to the Demon Slayer Corps and new hope to humanity."

"Your specialness is no less than that of the first founder of the Demon Slayer Corps, nor the first creator of the Breathing Technique."

These words demonstrate Jiang Jiu's special place in Yao Zai's heart, and his important position in Yao Zai's heart.

This also demonstrates Kagaya's trust and reliance on him.

The whole process is nothing more than going through the motions, saying some inspirational words, and holding a grand ceremony.

Jiang Jiu became a pillar, and his title was Earth Pillar, Pillar of the Earth.

Because he was the founder of the Breath of the Earth.

The way all the Demon Slayer Corps members looked at him changed; they became enthusiastic.

Their eyes were filled with hope and trust, because Jiang Jiu had led the Demon Slayer Corps to kill five Lower Moon demons!

All of these things gave Jiang Jiu a greater sense of responsibility.

Of course, they assumed that Lower Moon Five was killed first, and the other four were killed afterward.

Only the Nine Pillars and Kagaya know the truth.

Because of this remarkable achievement, everyone was willing to trust him wholeheartedly.

That's why everyone is willing to believe in him and accept him from the bottom of their hearts.

"Indeed, even though I've become a ghost, I still have the heart of a human being," Jiang Jiu sighed.

Seeing all that was happening before him, he was deeply moved.

The Demon Slayer Corps gained another Pillar.

In the name of the place...

The ceremony lasted until dark before everyone dispersed.

They cannot afford to waste too much time on this; every minute wasted could mean the death of someone.

"Forge me a knife," Jiang Jiu said to Yao Zai after the ceremony.

"What, you created a dual-wielding style of technique?" Kagaya asked.

"No." Jiang Jiu used his transformation. Of course, this time he learned his lesson and took off his clothes before transforming.

“You…” Yaozai touched Jiang Jiu’s body, slightly surprised.

"After absorbing the blood of the waning crescent moon, I mastered a new Blood Demon Art, but after using this move, this Nichirin Blade became useless."

"Okay, I understand," Yaozai readily agreed.

Chapter 69 The Red Spider Lily

At this moment, in the Infinite City.

Kibutsuji Muzan looked at Lower Moon One Enmu kneeling before him.

"Tell me everything you know." Muzan's eyes gleamed with boundless killing intent.

"My lord, all I know is that before this incident, Rui, who is the fifth Lower Moon, invited me to a meeting."

"What meeting?"

Nightmare shook her head: "I don't know. I wasn't interested in their meeting, so I didn't attend."

"Good riddance, they were all a bunch of useless trash." Muzan sneered, "Five Lower Moons, a whole five Lower Moons, and they were wiped out in one fell swoop?"

"In that case, I shouldn't have kept the waning crescent moon in the first place. It's useless except for wasting the blood I gave it."

"Now, I want you to give me a reason not to kill you."

Nightmare laughed, his laughter was somewhat twisted: "Ah, dying at the hands of my lord has always been my dream. I have only one request, which is to hear another person's painful wails before I die. I wonder if my lord can grant my dying wish?"

"If my lord would agree to my request, I would die without regret. Ah, it would be like a dream."

Muzan stared at Enmu for half a minute, then suddenly laughed: "Heh, you Lower Moons are somewhat useful. At least their deaths have shown me that there are other traitors among us besides Tamayo."

"I am very fond of you. I will give you my blood. I hope you will repay me well and find the traitor for me."

"Well, if you can withstand that much blood and not die."

A week has passed.

Yao-jae finds Kang-jiu.

“Mr. Oni, I have some news for you,” Yaozai said.

“Just call me Earth Pillar,” Jiang Jiu said. “After all, I’m in charge of that title.”

“Alright, Mr. Earth Pillar,” Kagaya said with a smile.

"Um... please don't call me 'sir,' just call me Earth Pillar," Jiang Jiu said. "What news?"

"I've got the spider lily!" Yaozai said.

"What?" Jiang Jiu excitedly grabbed Yao Zai's hand: "Really?"

“Hmm,” Yaozai said, “We bought it from a doctor. It only had three petals, and the doctor dried them and made them into medicine. We don’t know if it still has any effect.”

"Where are the things?" Jiang asked anxiously.

Kagaya laughed and said, "Of course I'll leave this kind of thing to Shinobu and Tamayo to study."

Without saying a word, he rushed to the Butterfly House.

"Mr. Ghost, you came so quickly," Butterfly said, trying not to laugh.

"You flatter me. You know how much I crave this," Jiang Jiu said somewhat embarrassedly.

Butterfly O-Ninja said, "Don't rush, we still need to test it."

"How do we test it?" Jiang Jiu asked hurriedly.

Butterfly O-nin said, "Of course we need to find a ghost to test it on."

"Where's the ghost?"

"Where would I get a ghost from?" Butterfly O Ren chuckled. "Of course, I have to go and catch one."
