Infinite: Start as a ghost

A month passed quietly, and Jiang Jiu barely managed to cultivate the initial stage of Moon Breathing to the intermediate stage.

“No, this method of cultivation is too inefficient,” Jiang Jiu frowned.

Such little progress in just one month, and that's even with his talent boosted a hundredfold.

In other words, given his previous talent, this was the result that took him more than ten years to achieve.

"The efficiency is too slow. Is it really this slow to improve just by meditating without being able to practice?" He was very dissatisfied with the current situation.

You know, the further you go, the harder it gets to cultivate. It took him so long to go from the beginner to the intermediate level, so when will he be able to reach the advanced level?

"It'll be a long time before Muzan finds out we've overcome the sunlight, so it should be safe to go out and train now." He pondered carefully.

He then sighed, "Is the breathing technique at the progenitor level really that difficult to master?"

"I have absolutely no clue how to master Sun Breathing, and now that I've already learned Moon Breathing, it's still so difficult to practice?"

If it weren't for his experience with the Breath of the Earth technique, his cultivation would probably have been even slower.

He actually knew the reason: Moon Breathing was Kokushibo's unique technique, and no one else had mastered it except him. He was also not suited to this breathing method, which was why he found it so difficult.

Moreover, without the support of practical exercises, relying solely on meditation will naturally not yield significant results, because he doesn't even know if his thoughts are correct, and he wastes a lot of time just groping around.

He stepped out of the basement, greeted everyone, and then went alone into the deep mountains and forests.

He needs the atmosphere of nature.

Bathed in sunlight, he spread his arms wide, enjoying the warmth the sun brought him.

He did not continue his spiritual practice; he simply enjoyed the sunshine.

For a whole month, the difficulty of breathing from the moon made it hard for him to breathe.

He needs rest and mental relaxation.

Even ghosts get tired.

As time passed, the blazing sun gradually turned into a sunset, and the red glow filled the sky, creating a beautiful scene.

The moon began to rise, while the sun had not yet completely set.

The sun and moon briefly intersect once a day.

"gorgeous……"

Jiang Jiu had no idea how long it had been since she had truly relaxed and enjoyed the beauty of nature.

After arriving in the world of Demon Slayer, his life revolves entirely around training and battles.

In the rest of their free time, they racked their brains to plan their future path.

He was exhausted, and would remain so for some time to come, because the threat of Muzan was ever-present.

Even though he believed his fighting skills surpassed everyone else's, he wasn't the only one immune to sunlight; his three companions were as well.

Oh, right, we also have to count a cat.

Chachamaru was also fed Nezuko's blood by Tamayo, and now he is no longer afraid of sunlight.

The sun had completely set, leaving only a crescent moon hanging high in the sky.

Night has fallen...

"Alright, you've rested enough, let's begin." Jiang Jiu continued his cultivation path.

He didn’t know if it was because he was a ghost, but he felt that the night was very compatible with him.

It seems like I have a lot more inspiration than during the day.

"Breath of the Moon, Form One, Dark Moon, Palace of the Clouds..."

With his mind completely emptied, he naturally began the starting stance.

Whether it was because his mastery had broken through to the intermediate level or because of his mood, he inexplicably felt that this move was much smoother to execute.

"Moon Breathing O Second Form O Pearl Moon Dance..."

Immediately afterwards, he used the second move, and it felt increasingly smooth.

"Moon Breathing O Third Form..."

"Moon Breathing, Fourth Form..."

"Breathing of the Moon..."

One move after another, one technique after another, he kept repeating the Breath of the Moon technique, the speed of which was getting faster and faster.

The stars are exceptionally bright tonight, as if they are shining in harmony with the moon.

"Breathing of the Moon, Final Form, Full Moon, Sun Piercing the Moon..."

Having completed another cycle, Jiang Jiu felt no fatigue whatsoever; on the contrary, he felt increasingly energetic and excited.

Time and time again, without interruption.

His lunar breathing, like the "cycle" of solar breathing, completed its own unique "lunar cycle."

He seemed to be summoned by the stars, always wanting to vent something.

Is it fatigue?

Is it desire?

Is this how I feel right now?

He didn't know; he only knew that something inside him seemed to want to burst forth.

"Star Breathing O Form 1 O Starlight..."

The author says:

Sorry for the lateness of this chapter; this is the only one I have today. I originally planned to start writing at 3 PM, but I've been stuck with writer's block ever since. I managed to write two chapters, then deleted them all, and only now have I managed to finish this one.

However, I don't regret it, because those two chapters were really badly written; I couldn't stand reading them myself. This is the downside of not having any drafts saved up. I should definitely keep some drafts on hand in the future.

Chapter 112 Sun, Moon, Earth and Circumstances

He used a new breathing technique, but he seemed completely unaware of it, continuing to wield the giant blade without realizing it.

"Star Breathing O Second Form O Star Speed..."

He wielded a giant sword, yet his speed remained incredibly fast. In an instant, he rushed to the other side and completed his slash in the process.

"Star Breathing, Third Form, The Wildfire..."

His giant sword had somehow caught a small flame, but the flame never went out.

"Star Breathing, Fourth Form, Starry Sky..."

His attacks are as numerous as the stars in the sky. If there is an enemy in front of him, he will find that this move is impossible to defend against and that he cannot withstand such a dense attack.

"Star Breathing, Fifth Form, Starry Sky..."

Using the earth as a chessboard and the stars as pieces, it traps people within, making escape impossible.

"Star Breathing, Sixth Form, Star Shift and Dipper Turn..."

No matter how powerful your attack is, I can deflect and neutralize it.

"Star Breathing, Seventh Form, A Little Bit..."

With immense strength, you unleash a powerful blow, and before you know it, you'll find yourself cleaved in two.

"Star Breathing, Eighth Form, Star Ring..."

The intense attacks eventually converged into a single point, as if the surrounding stars were drawing closer to you, ultimately turning you into a black hole that devoured you.

"Secret Technique: Star Breathing, Ninth Form: Star and Moon Intertwined..."

By combining the Breath of the Moon, one can unleash the ultimate power of both the Breath of the Moon and the Breath of the Stars simultaneously.

Jiang Jiu repeated each move without stopping, his eyes seemingly brimming with countless stars.

Breath of the stars, breath of the moon, breath of the stars, breath of the moon.

Over time, he unknowingly incorporated the breath of the earth into his life.

The Earth, the Moon, and the stars converge here.

Suddenly, a ray of sunlight shone on his body.

It turned out that he had been practicing all night without realizing it.

But he didn't stop; instead, he continued to wield the giant blade in his hand.

He was unaware that the sun had risen; he only felt a cool sensation all over his body.

The morning sunlight is cool.

But that first ray of sunlight seemed like a signal, a flash of inspiration, an insight, suddenly opening a door in Jiang Jiu's heart.

His body continued to switch between different breathing techniques, but his consciousness had already unknowingly entered a state of meditation.

He returned to his meditative world once again.

This time, his inner world has become infinitely richer than before.

He could feel the activity of the air more clearly.

He could feel the emptiness in the sky even more.

You can feel the chill in the wind.

cold?

He looked into the distance and saw that the volcano had been frozen in layers of frost.

You can feel the scorching heat of the sun in the sky.

hot?

Jiang Jiu looked up at the sky and realized that it was the sun that was making him feel hot.

The moon, stars, and sun—all were clearly visible in his eyes.
