She transformed from a man-eating monster into a sun-drenched plant monster.

The high-speed splitting characteristic is also retained, but its speed will be relatively slowed down...

This is because it is necessary to more accurately replicate the chromosomes in other primitive cells of the body.

Of course, if you forcefully stimulate the growth of cells, you can also achieve super-fast regeneration in a short period of time...

However, the trade-off is that the body's cells will still instinctively crave the corresponding "nutrients".

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages to this. While overcoming her greatest weakness, Nezuko Kamado lost the ability to "reproduce".

Muzan Kibutsuji's cells can spread indiscriminately and create their own kind because of this highly efficient ability to devour human DNA...

However, Nezuko Kamado's cells evolved chloroplasts under the predicament of "starvation," which fundamentally deprived her of the possibility of reproduction.

Plants cannot make another organism become their own kind by giving them seeds.

In addition, she will also face the predicament of not being able to keep up with the energy supply, making her unable to compare with demons like Muzan Kibutsuji.

But this is a manifestation of evolution, because the essence of evolution is adaptation rather than "becoming stronger." Adapting to the environment and the outside world inevitably leads to degeneration.

"I'm getting increasingly worried that you'll create an even more terrifying group of 'Muzan Kibutsuji'."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki's voice came from behind Shiro Mukai... This blind man with poor health had "moved" over here not long ago without explanation, risking his life to come over without telling any of the Pillars.

Bai Wujie didn't care and didn't really want to pay attention to him, but after completing the interesting experiment, he didn't hesitate to show off his results.

"Nezuko Kamado's case is an almost irreplaceable miracle, but I think you understand its greatest value, don't you?"

Faced with Bai Wujie's words, Ubuyashiki Kagaya smiled but remained silent...

But Bai Wujie was right. After learning about Nezuko's special qualities, he had already realized Nezuko's greatest value.

Bait, bait that will allow Muzan to see the dawn of victory over the sun.

It's a cruel, even despicable way of putting it. But he was a competent lord, a competent leader of demon hunters.

"Ms. Tamayo is very interested in you. If you have time, you can meet her near Asakusa."

"But I'm not particularly interested in her," Bai Wujie said coldly.

Tamayo was a researcher like him, but Bai Wujie was not interested in what she was researching—the human-transforming drug she was researching was very boring to Bai Wujie.

Because such things pose little difficulty or significance to him, given the existence of the rare and unique Nezuko copy...

With the vision and knowledge that Tamayo lacked, Shiro Mukai could easily create such a drug.

It was time-consuming and meaningless, and even though Bai Wujie had already obtained the so-called "Blue Spider Lily," he never cared about those things.

Because ghosts are fun toys, while humans are just boring and numerous things.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki was silent for a moment, but this wise Demon Slayer Corps leader had already grasped the key to communicating with Shiro Mukai.

"So what's your opinion on the markings I mentioned?"

"What do you think? My evaluation is of no value to you; it's just a tool to me, but to you, it's a sweet poison."

The burning-like patterns appeared on Bai Wujie's forehead, but he didn't care at all about these traces that proved the peak power of the breathing technique.

The essence of breathing techniques is a kind of exercise that squeezes out vital energy.

By breathing in the energy that drifts from the outside world, the body is filled with powerful energy, gaining temporary strength in exchange for power. But this current strength comes at a price in the future.

However, simple breathing techniques can still achieve a balance between the body and the external environment. But with the process of "total concentration breathing," it becomes a completely unbalanced practice that squeezes out life force.

The markings and the transparent world that follow are created by using a large amount of energy inhaled to disrupt the normal functioning of the body, stimulating the pituitary gland to secrete special hormones, slowing down the sense of time and making the five senses more acute.

However, the consequence of such reckless stimulation of both the mind and body is premature death; the most optimistic estimate is that one will not live past the age of twenty-five.

The so-called breathing method is actually no different from, or even more excessive than, those training methods in modern sports that completely violate the Olympic spirit in pursuit of results and are destructive to the human body.

Aside from the genius who pioneered the breathing technique, this method is destined to push ordinary people down a slope into an abyss.

"Isn't there any way to change him?" Kagaya Ubuyashiki asked, a sorrowful expression on his face.

The Ubuyashiki family possesses the power to control the Marks and the Transparent World... but this training method is sealed away by them like a taboo.

Simply because it is too inhumane and too exhausting for demon hunters.

The idea that the markings can "infect" is merely an exaggerated metaphor for the reality, especially among demon slayers who pursue power to hunt down evil spirits...

Once someone finds a way to activate their Demon Slayer Mark, those who pursue the power of the Demon Slayer will quickly follow suit... However, it often happens that a generation activates their Marks at the same time, and then dies young at the same time.

Although it might seem a bit too sentimental, Kagaya Ubuyashiki simply didn't want the Pillars to embark on a path of no return.

However, he was already aware that if he couldn't find a solution from Bai Wujie, he would go back and announce it.

"Huh? Of course I have ways to change things!" Bai Wujie laughed with amusement and sarcasm.

"But just as you fear, it might breed something even more terrifying than a ghost."

"Would you rather see a million cannibalistic demons, or a hundred of me?"

17. A madman is scarier than a ghost.

Is there a way to keep these Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen with their markings alive?

Of course there is; just practice the Ultimate Boundless Qi Gong.

Although the Ultimate Boundless Qi Gong is a method that only a few geniuses can cultivate to master the power of magnetic field rotation...

However, the few talents who emerge from the Demon Slayer Corps are basically a select few geniuses who meet the requirements, and even if they are not good enough, they can at least learn how to use ancient martial arts energy.

However, Bai Wujie had no habit of lecturing; he wasn't their babysitter. Besides, even if they were given the opportunity to cultivate, who knew how long it would take?

Moreover, just as Bai Wujie said—

It would be even more terrifying if those swordsmen with the markings actually survived using the ultimate boundless energy technique.

"You can't imagine what a group with our 'supernatural abilities' would do."

Bai Wujie gently raised his hand, and a huge rock in the courtyard floated up out of thin air...

Driven by an invisible electric current, it instantly shattered into a thousand small, sharp stone fragments, each nearly identical in size.

The countless stone spikes pierced the pond in the courtyard like raindrops, and soon a pile of dead fish floated to the surface of the pond.

"People like us are far more terrifying than the ghosts you think we are. Because we don't kill out of instinct; we kill indiscriminately for pleasure, for enjoyment, for amusement, or even just out of pure desire."

Bai Wujie revealed his gleaming white teeth to Ubuyashiki Kagaya. Even though he could barely see, Ubuyashiki Kagaya still felt a chill run through his body.

"They...they are all good kids, they wouldn't do that."

"Humans are creatures that are swept along by society; the surrounding environment and so-called stances can drive you to become either devils or angels," Bai Wujie sneered.

"Moreover, this power is not as simple as you think. It doesn't require me to spread anything; once I reach a critical point... this world will naturally give birth to a second 'thing' just like me."

In this world without magnetic field power, Bai Wujie is equivalent to Lan Daotianwu.

Currently, he is still at the stage of being propelled by electricity, but once he breaks through to the stage of being propelled by magnetic fields—

His mere existence will unconsciously tear and alter the Earth's magnetic field. As his power increases, this alteration will expand until it spreads this pollution and rape of the environment and the world throughout the entire universe!

The rotation of the magnetic field is like a special kind of "virus". As long as the first seed exists, there will be a continuous stream of "awakeners".

To put it bluntly, once Bai Wujie were to distribute the "Ultimate Boundless Qi Gong," a technique that allows ordinary people to gain magnetic field power... this world would soon become as desolate as the earth!

But thinking about it carefully... Bai Wujie doesn't seem to have any reason to refuse to do so.

That's kind of interesting!

Rather, it's more interesting to Bai Wujie to think of it as an upgrade of the world, turning this weak world into an arena with more powerful magnetic fields.

At this point, Bai Wujie grinned at Ubuyashiki Kagaya, a playful expression on his face...

"You want me to help them? Sure, but are you prepared for all the existing social systems and stable environments to be destroyed?"

"The history of humankind in this world spans tens of thousands of years, from slave society to feudal society and then to capitalist society... No matter what system you follow, no matter what ideology you uphold. Whether it's loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, or prioritizing interests above all else, these will cease to exist, or rather, they will no longer have any meaning."

Bai Wujie was well aware of this inevitability. As a powerful magnetic field being who was both a "beast" and a "god," he wantonly insulted and raped the planet, while ordinary people were nothing more than insignificant ants.

Dead people? There must be a lot of dead people. To be honest, the number of people killed by Muzan Kibutsuji and his demons over the past few hundred years is probably less than the number of people affected by the battles fought by Bai Wujie.

If Bai Wujie's indifferent attitude is already like this... let alone those magnetic field lunatics who are even more "crazy" than him.

"Just die a peaceful death as an 'ordinary person'," Bai Wujie said with a light laugh, looking at the silent Ubuyashiki Kagaya.

"And you don't need to be so presumptuous in thinking so much. What can you possibly decide about how the world will turn out?"

At this point, Bai Wujie turned his gaze towards the courtyard entrance...

In fact, Bai Wujie didn't even need to teach the secrets of magnetic field power; some people in this world had already begun to undergo subtle "changes"...

The pollution of the magnetic field actually began the moment he arrived.

With heavy thoughts, Kagaya Ubuyashiki chose to leave... but in fact, he had already made his "choice" at this moment about what he wanted to do.

He could neither stop the Pillars' desire to become stronger... This path of no return was destined to be a shortcut leading everyone to the abyss of despair... But just as Kagaya Ubuyashiki would not hesitate to sacrifice himself and his wife and children—

Any price would be worth paying if all the sacrifices and tragedies could be ended in their generation.

Shortly after Kagaya Ubuyashiki left, another visitor entered the place.

"I'm so sorry to bother you!"

Upon meeting Tanjiro Kamado, he immediately gave him a deep, 90-degree bow of apology. Bai Wujie put down the test tube in his hand and looked at him with amusement...

“I think your lord must have warned you not to come near here. I don’t think you couldn’t understand what he was saying.”

Tanjiro bit his lip slightly, but still said in a deep voice...

"I know I shouldn't bother you, Mr. Shiro, but... I still want to ask, how is Nezuko doing?"

"Great, that couldn't be better. At least you don't have to worry about her having to eat people in the future," Bai Wujie said calmly.

“But I have no interest in turning her back into a human, and you should ask that female ghost for help instead of coming to me. Kid, that's not why you came here. Just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush and annoy me.”

"Mr. Bai, I also want to become as strong as you!"

Tanjiro gritted his teeth and shouted...

Ha, we've seen one Ubuyashiki go, and now we have Tanjiro. But compared to that blind man, Bai Wujie is definitely more patient with this boy.

"Yes, there's nothing wrong with craving power, and there's nothing wrong with you coming to me," Bai Wujie said with a smile, resting his chin on his hand.

"But I don't think you really consider me a good person, so why would I help you?"

Bai Mukai ignored Tanjiro's desire for power, but he seemed to be trying to glean some interesting answers from this stubborn little guy.

"I can complete your breathing technique," Tanjiro said softly after a moment of silence...

"Although I don't know where you learned it, my family's 'Hinokami Kagura' is very similar to your breathing technique, and I think it might be able to help you in some way."

Tanjiro was terrified. His near-death experience with Nezuko at Mount Natagumo left him with immense fear.

He wasn't actually a person with lofty ambitions or a particularly self-sacrificing spirit... If he had to make a list of people he cared about, family and friends would undoubtedly be at the top.

Of course, avenging himself against Muzan Kibutsuji is also crucial, but what about a boy fighting while carrying the burden of his only surviving family member...?

There would be no way to have the kind of self-sacrificing spirit that Kagaya Ubuyashiki possessed, which would seem extremely frightening to ordinary people.

He knew, of course, that Bai Wujie was no good person, but such a person possessed immense power—the power that Tanjiro could see, the power to protect his family and also to seek revenge.

He doesn't pursue power, but he needs to pursue a sense of security. So, he made this choice here.

"I'm not interested in breathing techniques," Bai Wujie chuckled.

"My strength doesn't come from breathing techniques or anything like that, you brat. Your so-called bargaining chips are worthless to me."

However, my actions are not something you can easily judge. You think I'd kick you out? No, no, no, I'll just do things that interest me.

He slowly raised a finger, pointed it at Tanjiro's forehead, and said with great interest...

"I don't have the patience to teach you anything, but you little rascal, you have something that interests me. So, here's a little gift for you; whether you survive or not is up to you."

With that, he flicked his finger, and a faint electric current pierced Tanjiro's forehead and entered his brain...

The excruciating pain made Tanjiro's face turn deathly pale, and at the same time, a tremendous force erupted from his body, sending him flying backward!

"Tanjiro!"

Zenitsu and Inosuke, who had been following behind for a long time, rushed forward with a cry of surprise, but they did not have the courage to draw their swords against Bai Wujie.

He is dangerous; this seemingly gentle and lazy young man is incredibly dangerous.

Whether it was Inosuke's beastly instincts or Zenitsu's feeble intuition, they both told them one thing.
