Chapter 156 An unexpected encounter, the origin of the jade collapse!
After the first crack appeared, Urahara Kisuke's heart was shaken.

Soon after, more cracks appeared.

Under the gaze of Urahara Kisuke, the "Hōgyoku" that he believed to be indestructible was destroyed, but he did not feel sad at all. On the contrary, he only felt relieved and relaxed after being liberated.

The Hogyoku, an accidentally created creature, has self-awareness and can instinctively devour the surrounding spirit particles to evolve. This makes Urahara Kisuke realize that it is uncontrollable, and he is not sure whether the direction of this evolution is good or bad.

But it is never a good thing to have no control over your own creations.

So, instead of letting the Collapsing Jade evolve, he would rather destroy it.

But I didn't expect that it couldn't be destroyed at all.

I thought that the only way to deal with the Collapse Jade from now on would be to seal it, but I didn't expect that the Collapse Jade would be destroyed by Xia Mu like this.

"Incredibly powerful Bankai!"

Urahara Kisuke couldn't help but think so in his heart.

He became more and more curious about the ability of Natsuki's Bankai.

Xia Mu didn't explain too much.

After the Hogyoku collapsed and disappeared, he released the power of his Bankai.

His Zanpakutō returned to its shallow state, and he looked at Urahara Kisuke, "Now, you should be able to rest easy."

……

When the graduation season comes at the Shinō Academy of Spiritual Arts, it becomes a very torturous time for the six reborn students.

After graduation, whether or not one can join the Gotei 13 has always been a matter of great concern for many of the Sixth Reborn.

Especially in today's era, with the popularization of various new types of Kidō weapons, students in the academy need to learn more, and the recruitment standards for the Gotei 13 have also been raised a lot, which has put greater pressure on students to get promoted.

There is no way. After the birth of the new Kidō weapons, not only has the combat effectiveness of the Shinigami increased, but even the attacks on the civilians in Rukongai have also decreased. Those souls with the qualifications to become Shinigami have been given a more stable environment to grow in.

Naturally, the requirements for the new-age Grim Reaper are slightly higher.

The reason why the requirements for recruiting team members were lowered previously was simply because the casualty rate among the team members was high and they were eager to recruit new members.

Now that the casualty rate has decreased and there are no such requirements, the comprehensive quality requirements for new team members will be much higher.

It is also in this case.

A young girl was becoming increasingly confused as to whether or not she could join the Gotei 13.

"Even if I can't join the Gotei 13, the Kidōshu seems pretty good, right?"

"Of course, if possible, I still want to join the Gotei 13!"

Under the shade of a tree in the academy, a girl wearing glasses, who did not look particularly old, was holding a book and muttering to herself. She had good grades in Kidō and her spiritual power was not low. Logically speaking, she could join the Gotei 13 under such circumstances, but she had a biggest problem, which was that she had not been able to resonate with her Zanpakutō since she entered school.

"What is the Gotei 13?"

Just as the girl was muttering to herself, a somewhat hearty voice sounded beside her.

The girl suddenly came to her senses and looked towards the direction where the voice came from. She saw another figure who looked much older than her, wearing a black Shinigami costume and glasses, standing quietly.

picture!
It’s so similar!

After seeing the other person, the girl felt like she saw her future self.

No, this should be what she imagined herself to look like in the future.

She was looking forward to putting on the Shinigami costume and becoming the Grim Reaper.

As for the girl's opponent, the new vice-captain of the 11th Division, Lisa Yadomaru, she also saw the shadow of her past self in the girl.

In the past, when she had nothing to do, she liked to read under the shade of trees.

This time, because of Mao's graduation season, she revisited the old place and came back to the academy. She was not too anxious about recruiting team members. After all, there was plenty of time. So she went to some places she used to like to stay and see if they were still there.

Unexpectedly, I met a young girl here.

The girl was wearing glasses and had a book in front of her.

Whether it is her appearance or her hobby of reading books here, she is exactly the same as she used to be.

After a moment of trance, the girl came back to her senses and asked the female Grim Reaper who looked older than her, "Who are you?"

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Yadomaru Lisa."

"What about you?"

Yadomaru Lisa asked the girl in front of her who looked very similar to herself.

After a moment of hesitation, the girl said her name.

"Ise Nanao!"

……

Xia Mu had no idea what happened in the Maou Spiritual Academy.

He hasn't dealt with these chores personally for many years.

After Watanabe Yuji returned, he handed over the affairs of the squad to the vice-captain and third seat.

Even though Watanabe Yuji has retired, the new vice-captain, Yadomaru Lisa, is also a very capable person. Although she has some weird hobbies, her ability in internal affairs is absolutely perfect.

Natsuki had dealt with Kyoraku Shunsui before, and he knew very well what kind of person he was.

Maybe it's because he has been captain for too long, so he plays it on a daily basis.

Either he is slacking off or he is on his way to slacking off.

In this case, all the affairs of the squad are handled by the vice-captain.

Ise Nanao may be the vice-captain because of his connections.

But the deputy captains before her were definitely capable people.

This was also the reason why Natsuki was optimistic about Lisa Yadomaru.

This proved to be the case.

Even though she has only been in office for a short time, Lisa Yadomaru has taken over Watanabe Yuji's responsibility very well and has done a better job in handling team affairs than Yuji Watanabe did back then.

After meeting with Urahara Kisuke and resolving the issue of the "Hōgyoku", Natsuki returned to the squad.

He drew his Zanpakutō.

Entered into the world of souls.

Here, at this moment, something has changed.

What Feiyuan devoured back then is no longer a secret to Xia Mu now.

"Fragments of the Spirit King!"

Although a little surprised, this is the only thing that can explain how Feiyuan evolved and gained so many abilities similar to those of the Quincy.

The Soul King is the root of the Quincy.

Yhwach calls himself the founder of the Quincy, but in reality, if one really wants to trace it back, everything can be traced back to the Soul King.

Judging from the name, as the name suggests, the Spirit King is the king of the spirit world, so he has the power to control all spirits. He is omniscient and omnipotent.

All unreasonable abilities can be attributed to the Spirit King.

If he hadn't experienced so many things afterwards, Xia Mu wouldn't even know that the former Tsunamishiro family had secretly collected so many Soul King fragments. If they were allowed to complete their plan, coupled with the Tsunamishiro ancestor who had escaped from hell, who knows what kind of turmoil would be set off.

However, the Tsunayashiro family ultimately failed to complete their plan.

Because of Tsunayashiro Tokinada, the Tsunayashiro family lost all the Soul King fragments.

In the end, it was a bargain for Xia Mu.

Feiyuan itself has the passive ability to devour spirit particles and strengthen Xia Mu's spiritual power. The fragments of the Soul King are something of higher nature than spirit particles. After devouring them, Xia Mu's Zanpakuto has undergone a new evolution.

It was also because of this evolution that Xia Mu was able to deal a heavy blow to the ancestor Tsunayashiro who escaped from hell.

All I can say is that every sip and every bite is determined by fate.

There is a causal relationship between many things.

Because he had not read the official novel before traveling through time, Xia Mu actually did not know that it was because of Tsunayashiro Tokinada that the Tsunayashiro family lost the Soul King fragment, which led to Tsunayashiro Tokisei reactivating the Yanluo Mirror, and then the Tsunayashiro ancestor appeared.

Between the fragments of the Soul King and the ancestor of the Tsunayashiro family, the Tsunayashiro family is destined to only be able to choose one.

But isn’t this a cycle of cause and effect?
In the world of souls.

Feiyuan's figure appeared, but neither Feiyuan nor Xia Mu had much conversation. At this moment, they were looking forward.

In the light red film, a gem emitting blue-black light was sealed inside. It tried to devour the surrounding power to strengthen itself, but coincidentally, Feiyuan also had the ability to devour spirit particles, and after obtaining the fragments of the Spirit King, this ability was further enhanced, and there was a vague tendency to evolve towards "omniscience and omnipotence". Under the power of Feiyuan, this newly born, escaping Broken Jade was naturally suppressed easily.

In front of Urahara Kisuke and Yoruichi, Natsuki seemed to activate his Bankai and destroyed the Hougyoku.

But in fact, this is only a destruction at the "reality" level, just to make Urahara Kisuke feel at ease and no longer have to worry about the Hogyoku. Secretly, the Hogyoku was swallowed by Hime.

But even Xia Mu underestimated the power of the Collapsing Jade.

No wonder the creator, Kisuke Urahara, tried so many ways but failed to destroy the Hogyoku.

Even though it is a newborn Broken Jade, after it develops self-awareness, its will to survive is still incredibly strong.

"Speaking of which, the Collapse Jade is indeed related to the Spirit King!"

Although Urahara Kisuke described the process of his creation of the Hogyoku, saying that the Hogyoku was made with the help of the power of the Hollow, after Natsuki swallowed the Hogyoku through Hisan, he still felt the power from this power that was the same as the Soul King fragment swallowed by Hisan.

Apart from the power of the Spirit King, the most powerful force on this broken jade is still the power of the void.

After all, it is something created with the power of the void.

Whether it is the power of the Hollow or the power of the Spirit King, both have the possibility of evolution.

The Spirit King is omniscient and omnipotent, so his upper limit is maximized.

The void can evolve through devouring.

When the upper limit has long been reached, as long as the Collapse Jade can continue to devour it, it can continue to evolve. After the evolution, that powerful force will in turn amplify the power of the Spirit King fragments, making that omniscient and omnipotent power more and more influential, and then do all kinds of incredible things.

In the space of the soul, Xia Mu began to study the Collapsing Jade and speculate on the source of the Collapsing Jade's power.
