A person in Japan, a sword that soars to immortality.

Chapter 187 If you're not strong enough, make up for it with rice.

"What did you say?"

Lian suddenly opened her eyes, looking at Taiyi with an incredulous expression.

What's going on? He actually wants to let me leave? Has the sun risen in the west?

Because his embryonic pearl was swallowed by the other party, when Taiyi's physical body sealed his soul, the lotus that had entered his body was also sent to the acupoint space.

I was hoping to outlast him, but Taiyi, this junior, is simply inhuman!

Over the course of nearly thirty years, Lian has witnessed Taiyi's transformation from being unable to move or communicate with the outside world to now being able to freely enter and exit the acupoint space.

Having already reached the primordial spirit state, she knew all too well how much divine soul power was needed to condense a soul.

On Paradise Island, not only was the life essence of the dead extracted, but the power of their souls was also secretly absorbed by Lian.

She used the Pangu Flower and secret techniques, but what did Taiyi rely on?

Lian was completely baffled by these questions.

"Alright, enough with the nonsense. If you want to get out, you have to agree to one condition."

"You said."

Having talked this far, Ren believed that Taiyi wouldn't lie to her.

We're all experts here; there's no need to beat around the bush when it comes to our interests.

"Tell me how to seal the primordial spirit within the body."

Taiyi lowered his eyelids and, through mental transmission, sent information into Lian's primordial spirit.

Oh?

"Why ask me about this? You should be the expert."

Lian sneered, then said in a sarcastic tone.

But as Taichi revealed part of his plan to Ren and also shared his speculations about the Sakura Dragon, Ren's expression gradually became serious, until finally, it knotted together in a knot.

Taiyi quietly watched Lian, letting her think.

After a long silence, Lian suddenly spoke:

"I can do it using the method, but I want the body you mentioned."

Taiyi did not show much surprise upon hearing this.

What an unwavering conviction, Lotus.

Even at this point, you're still thinking about finding a body for the resurrected Xu Fu. Typical of you... Also...

"Love is a truly great thing."

Feeling the determined look in his eyes, Taiichi narrowed his eyes, feeling a mix of emotions and memories of Zuoqie and the others.

Should we go see him? No, let's wait a bit longer.

At this stage, I am in the shadows while Sakura Dragon is in the light; it is not yet time for me to reveal myself.

After all, I can only speculate about Sakura Dragon's purpose, and I need to verify it.

There was another thing that also puzzled him.

During his conversation with Doma, he learned that over the past twenty years, the former Upper Moon demons have continued to roam the native land of Sakura.

Taiichi found this somewhat puzzling.

Logically speaking, if Muzan died, apart from Tamayo, Yoriichi Tsugikuni, Akaza, and others, they would have directly or indirectly erased the original will within Muzan's cells, thus ensuring their future would not be affected by Muzan's death.

What about the rest? For example, Half-Heaven Dog, and Jade Pot.

Jade Pot's identity is impure, probably related to the Immortal Realm, while Half-Heaven Dog is completely disliked by Taiyi.

Someone who turned cowardice into a blood demon art can be considered the number one coward among cowards.

"So extreme emotions can often generate great power. Kenshin, you have disappointed me."

Taiyi stood in the acupoint space behind him, listening to Lian teach him the sealing method while also thinking about his own plan.

......

Inside a secluded little house in the Choshu Domain residence.

Katsura Kogoro, regarded as the leader of the Meiji Restoration patrons, was bowing to a shrine maiden dressed in red on top and white on the bottom.

"Lord White Serpent God, Kenshin encountered a formidable enemy tonight. Not only was he injured, but his confidence in martial arts has also wavered. I fear this will affect his growth."

"Kenshin is now a hero among the reformers. If he falls or becomes discouraged, it will be a devastating blow to the entire movement."

After speaking, Katsura Kogoro bowed deeply, his head resting on the tatami mat, his tone extremely heavy.

The current reform movement is still stuck in the stage of assassination and subversion.

Whenever Kenshin's mission was successful, Katsura Kogoro would order his men to release information about the assassins in order to boost morale, put pressure on the government and samurai families, and make the various domains see the weakness of the shogunate.

The imperial family was the Emperor, while the military family was the Tokugawa Shogunate.

It is precisely because Kenshin has a high success rate in carrying out his missions that more and more domains believe that the shogunate's rule is gradually weakening.

"Hehe, you're absolutely right. We really can't let the legendary executioner Battosai become timid and hesitant."

The White Snake Goddess Mi Niang smiled gently, spoke softly, and acted with grace.

But a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes as she spoke.

Kenshin will fail? Logically speaking, there are still the remaining Yamada samurai, the celestial beings who escaped from the island, and even the retinue of the cannibal leader.

If these people hadn't shown up, no one could have defeated Kenshin, right?

Could it be him? Impossible, impossible.

Now that his influence has permeated every aspect of life, he will definitely be able to get the news once that person appears.

The current White Serpent God is not a sect of his own, but has joined forces with Shintoism, and has also joined the Onmyōryō (Bureau of Yin and Yang) under the leadership of Tsuchimikado Taian, and has also allied with the Eternal Bliss Sect.

It can be said that all the high-ranking officials and nobles in Kyoto were their followers, and her influence even extended to the Kansai region.

Thinking of this, the White Snake Goddess Mi Niang suddenly said, "No need to worry, setbacks are inevitable in life."

"No one can succeed all the time; everyone will fail."

"But we shouldn't lose confidence in ourselves just because we fail."

"Although Kenshin did not complete this mission perfectly, there is a way to allow him to reshape the information."

"That means more attempts, just to successfully complete the task."

The last sentence, though brief, could unleash a bloodbath in the modern world.

Upon hearing this, Katsura Kogoro frowned, then straightened up and asked in confusion:

"Lord White Serpent God, what if Kenshin encounters that expert again if he does this again?"

hehe......

Mi Niang smiled and then said gently:

"Mr. Katsura Kogoro, the present era is not like the shogunate more than 20 years ago, when it had a samurai who could capture criminals all over the country and even tie up daimyo."

"If this person reappears, I will be by Kenshin's side immediately."

"In addition, the speed at which his cultivation level increases is also an important factor in rebuilding his confidence."

"Give me your hand."

Upon hearing this, Katsura Kogoro obediently extended his palm, and then saw Mi Niang place a palm-sized grain of rice with a luster like mutton fat jade in his palm.

"This is the purification of Qi. If Kenshin consumes it, his strength will be greatly enhanced."

"and then?"

Katsura Kogoro stared blankly at the large, glistening grains of rice, and asked a question casually.

"And then? Then, naturally, we continue to slay those enemies who hinder the arrival of the new era."

Mi Niang placed her hands on her lap and said with a smile.
