Chapter 418 411. Immortality

Demon Slayer Headquarters.

Ubuyashiki Yōya waited respectfully outside the dojo, facing the closed door with a somewhat solemn expression.

So far, the intensive training of the nine pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps has been completed. Butterfly Ninja and Tomioka Giyu were sent to Nada Spider Mountain for support, and the remaining seven pillars have returned to their respective areas of responsibility.

Ubuyashiki Yōya was a little worried.

Although Yanzhu Mingyu Xingming, who finally completed the training, told him not to let anyone disturb Mr. Xuanhao inside, he was still a little worried.

The strength of the pillars who have completed the training has been visibly enhanced, and Ubuyashiki Yaoya does not believe that this is without any cost.

According to the historical records of the Uyashiki clan, the last time Xuanhao used such a secret technique was five hundred years ago, and he has been sleeping since then.

"There won't be any accidents..."

Just when Uyashiki Yaoya was worried, an inexplicable wave spread from the closed dojo.

This is a breath that makes people feel extremely warm, just like the revival of late winter and early spring, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

As the ripples spread, crisp seedlings sprouted from the soil outside the dojo, and the entire courtyard seemed to be awakened and became full of life.

But the vitality here did not last long, and it began to wither after a while.

Birth, growth, aging, annihilation.

The entire courtyard seems to have experienced a cycle of life.

Ubuyashiki Yōya felt the changes in his body with some fear.

Because his body was also affected by this spreading aura, it seemed as if he was experiencing his life all over again, and finally died.

His body, which was already on the verge of collapse, revived in an instant, and then rapidly aged at a speed that frightened him. If it continued like this... would he die?

Just the breath emitted can change the surrounding environment. Is this kind of power really possible for humans?

Ubuyashiki Yōya had no time to think, because he felt that he would be killed by such a power in the next moment.

"Forehead?"

Confused voices came from the dojo.

The entire space seemed to stagnate for a second, and then, the dojo, which had been battered by previous training, finally completed its mission, and the old wood turned into dust like weathering.

After the dust cleared, the figure sitting cross-legged opened his eyes.

The crimson Tengu mask gradually dissipated from his face, and the bright golden pupils illuminated the entire space.

Xuanhao glanced at Ubuyashiki Yōya not far in front of him, whose body was on the verge of collapse under the influence of his own strength, and slowly stood up.

Ubuyashiki Yoshiya, who was originally standing outside the dojo, felt that his body was frozen by some inexplicable force. He seemed to be unable to feel anything, but he could only see everything around him clearly.

His vision was clearer than ever before, and he watched the man in front of him silently walking towards him.

"This person is..."

Ubuyashiki Yoshiya is a little unsure of his eyes. He has seen Xuanhao's appearance, but now...

When the Tengu mask completely dissipated, what appeared in front of him was an old face etched by time. The eyes were as golden as the sun, the face had ravines like inscriptions, and the long pale hair was blowing in the wind. .

The man gently stretched out his hand and touched his eyebrow.

"what happened?"

Ubuyashiki Yōya couldn't help but question.

After making sounds from his mouth, he realized that his body seemed to be able to move, just like a normal person... Wait! ?

Normal person?

Ubuyashiki Yoya raised his hand in shock and looked at it. His vision was extremely clear and his body became healthy? He was on the verge of collapse one moment, but he was completely back to normal the next moment, so normal that he felt as if he had never experienced anything before.

His body seemed to have completely forgotten the pain he had experienced, and it became so accustomed to this situation that he almost didn't even notice it.

"It's almost like a miracle."

"It's not a miracle."

The old voice woke up Uyashiki Yōya from the shock.

He finally realized that there was an old man who looked like a god standing in front of him, and the old man was looking at him with a smile.

"Are you...Mr. Xuanhao?"

"Yes, it's me."

Xuan Hao nodded slightly.

"What...happened to you?"

Ubuyashiki Yōya was a little puzzled.

This man seems to have experienced countless years at this moment.

He had obviously been sleeping for five hundred years and still looked like a young man. Why did he suddenly become like this... Could it be that time finally remembered this forgotten person?

"It's nothing, just a little progress."

Xuan Hao smiled and shook his head without explaining.

The changes that are happening to him now are impossible for ordinary people to understand.

It wasn't that time suddenly reminded him of the fish that slipped through the net, but that he himself became what he is now.

To put it simply, he completely solved the problem between the two forces in his body.

While helping others become stronger, it is also his own cultivation. Now he finally understands how these two forces in his body can coexist harmoniously.

Symbolizing the creation of life, and representing the destruction of death, these two forces are completely opposite and have no distinction between strength and weakness. There is no winner or lose between them. He has been thinking about counteracting one of them before. This is obviously is very stupid.

So Xuanhao tried to 'reconcile' them, to be precise, to blend with each other to form a complete 'reincarnation'.

This is what life should be like.

His previous state of 'immortality and immortality' was wrong, because it was just a state forcibly given by others. There is only "life" and no "death", which is an incomplete state and a state that is beyond "humanity".

This is probably the difference between ‘human’ and ‘god’.

In his realization, Xuan Hao found that he seemed to have two ways to go.

One is to pursue eternal life, immortality and eternity. This road is very long, but the end of the road is probably to become an omniscient and omnipotent 'god'.

This was probably something that many people longed for, but he immediately rejected this path.

This is thanks to the good negative teaching materials of Wuhan. Human beings can easily lose themselves over a long period of time.

Xuan Hao has the feeling that if he chooses this path, even if he reaches the end and becomes a god, he will no longer be the same person he is now.

So Xuanhao now chooses the second option - as a 'person'.

Whether it is growing old or dying, it is the beauty of this fragile human life.

It is precisely because they will grow old and die that human beings will have emotions and become noble.

Moreover, he thought that the word "powerful" was not unique to "gods", and as we all know, "divinity" is a debuff, which is something that is not allowed.

So he doesn't want to be an omniscient and omnipotent god, he just wants to be an 'ordinary' person.

Originally, Xuan Hao would never have a second choice.

Because since the 'god' gave him power, his path has almost been destined, and he who is left with 'life' may only be able to follow the predetermined trajectory and become the next 'god'.

But it's different now. He got another power from somewhere else, and used this power to make up for the missing part.

Now that the two forces have formed a complete 'reincarnation', he has successfully embarked on his own path.

He will die, but what awaits him after death is not nothingness but new life.

His soul will reincarnate in destruction and creation. The concepts of life and death are no longer important to him. Even after his body dissipates, he will be reborn somewhere in a certain world.

This is the true ‘immortality’.

······

Ubuyashiki Yōya looked at the old man looking up at the night sky in front of him.

For some reason, the person in front of him now gave him a completely different feeling than before.

If it was invisible before, now...it looks ordinary?

No. In an instant, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya rejected such an absurd idea.

Because he had just passed away between life and death because of this man, and now the dead grass under his feet was still annihilated.

In the cold moonlight, life seems to turn into dust and dissipate with the slightest breeze.

How could a guy who can dominate life by his own will be an ordinary person?

"Did anything happen during this time?"

After a long time, the old man in front of him asked softly.

"Um..." Ubuyashiki Yoshiya was stunned, "I came here just to tell you that the boy you asked us to take care of before seems to have been involved in trouble."

"What trouble?"

"Twelve Ghost Moons."

Ubuyashiki Yōya quickly calmed down his mood, collected his thoughts and answered truthfully.

"The swordsmen sent by the Demon Slayer Corps to the Nada Spider Mountain were in trouble. Tanjiro happened to be nearby, so he received the distress signal from the raven and should have entered the mountain by now."

"That's it..."

Xuan Hao nodded lightly and walked leisurely towards the far door. His movements were slow and he really looked like an ordinary old man.

But Uyashiki Yōya's eyes were in a trance.

"Give me that knife..."

It took a long time for the distant voice to reach Uyashiki Yoshiya's ears. He stared blankly at the empty yard. Everything was as usual. If it weren't for the dojo because the old man just turned into dust, he would even feel like something was wrong. None of it happened.

far away.

Soon Uyashiki Yōya came out of his trance. He looked at the old figure waiting at the entrance of the hospital and quickly moved his body.

This young man, who was originally seriously ill, now ran into the mansion as fast as he could, scaring his wife and children into thinking he was dreaming.

At the gate of the hospital, Xuanhao confirmed the direction and Yaoya Shiki also brought the Nichirin sword that had been sealed for a long time.

"Mr. Xuanhao, do you want to..."

Ubuyashiki Yōya's tone was a little excited.

This man took hold of the sword, holding the extraordinary Nichirin sword.

"Let's go take a look first and then talk."

Xuan Hao put the Sun Lun Knife on his waist and smiled softly.

He knew what the young man in front of him was thinking, and he just wanted to die miserably.

He did have the same idea, but his priorities were different.

Muhan's life and death are far less important than Nezuko.

"Don't you need to wear a mask?" Yoya Shiki asked hesitantly as he looked at the old man in front of him who seemed to want to leave just like that.

"Can you still recognize me?"

Xuanhao turned around and asked with a smile.

"..."

Ubuyashiki Yōya was stunned, looking at the face in front of him that looked like a dying old man and fell into silence.

This old man has a warm smile on his face, and his impression and appearance are completely different from before. If it weren't for the sun blade at his waist, maybe everyone who sees him will regard him as an ordinary and amiable person. Old people.

······

"Hoo-ho-ho-"

Rapid gasps came from the boar's hood.

Inosuke hid behind a thick tree and scratched his head frantically.

"Damn it! I have to hide in a place like this! Tanjiro and Zenitsu will laugh to death if they see me!"

That's right, as brave as he is, he actually hid.

The reason is also very simple, nothing could be more reckless.

Although he was a little reluctant to admit it, Inosuke did meet someone more reckless than himself this time.

"That burly spider-headed ghost is too tough! It can't be cut, it can't be cut at all! What should I do? What should I do?"

"call--"

Just as he was thinking, the sound of howling wind gave him another warning sign.

"Grass!"

Inosuke rolled over instinctively.

With a violent roar, the tree where he was hiding was smashed brutally.

"hateful!"

Inosuke ran and cursed.

He found that he seemed to be really not good at thinking, and it was extremely difficult for him to come up with any tactics.

Being single-threaded, he only came up with two ways.

Either go up and fight directly, or wait for Tanjiro to come back and fight together.

# !

##! !

As soon as Inosuke thought of this, he noticed something was wrong, and veins popped up on his forehead.

"No! No! When did I need that guy's help! Is my brain flooded!?"

"Hey——"

The sound of the brakes sounded urgently.

Inosuke suddenly stopped while sprinting.

He turned around menacingly with two knives in hand.

"Damn bastard, this is so embarrassing! I almost turned into an idiot like Tanjiro! Am I still the one who relies on my brain to fight?"

As he spoke, the chasing ghost came closer.

Inosuke no longer hesitated and slashed at the oncoming ghost with his sword.

"puff--"

As expected, it failed to cut in.

The serrated Nichirin sword was blocked by the ghost's hard arm. Even if he used all his strength, he could only cut in one-third of the way.

"Then try this trick!"

Inosuke roared and raised his other hand.

This is his fighting method, which is both simple and crude.

If the knife keeps cutting, let's do it again!

"Qiang——"

The crisp sound of striking iron sounded, and Inosuke's second knife struck staggeredly on the back of the other knife. The blade that was originally submerged by a third suddenly exerted force again, and the combined force finally cut it off. The ghost's arm was used to block.

"Hahaha! Finally cut it off!"

Inosuke shouted excitedly.

"..."

The ghost with the spider head looked at the jagged sections on his arm and hesitated for a moment, then turned around and ran away.

"Damn it! Don't run!"

Inosuke chased after him without hesitation, but he didn't realize a serious problem.

That is, he almost tried his best to cut off this ghost's arm, but the ghost can regenerate!

The strength gap between the two was visible to the naked eye, and it was obvious that he had made a wrong judgment.
