After seeing through the Spirit King's intention, Xia Mu did not refuse directly.

On the contrary, I really want to hear what conditions the Spirit King can offer.

Although this meeting overturned his understanding of the Soul King, and the Soul King's existence changed from being full of divinity to being full of humanity, but now that he was here, there was no need to directly refuse to negotiate with the Soul King as he did before. The main reason why Xia Mu refused at the beginning was that the Soul King's will was awakened in his Zanpakutō.

As we all know, the Zanpakutō of the God of Death is a derivative of his soul and a part of the God of Death.

The Soul King's will awakened from Natsuki's Zanpakutō, which is equivalent to awakening in Natsuki's body. Anyone who suddenly has a new will appear in his body will feel uncomfortable.

This inevitably reminded Xia Mu of the story of "the devil taking over the body" in the immortal cultivation novels he read in his previous life.

Although it is very similar to a portable grandfather or something.

But can the Spirit King really be considered a companion grandfather?

The hatred between the Shinigami and the Quincies, and the Soul King's secret assistance to Yhwach were all still fresh in their minds.

Xia Muke couldn't accept the fact that such a guy appeared in his body.

It was one thing for him to absorb the fragments of the Soul King. After all, the Soul King was the origin of the world, and his fragments contained supreme power. Absorbing these fragments could help him evolve to a whole new level, but what he needed was only the fragments of the Soul King, not the rest of his will.

At the beginning, he even wiped out the will of the newly born Collapse Jade, leaving only the purest power. Naturally, he would not allow the will of the Spirit King to revive.

But this time is different.

As long as King Ling has no intention of "taking over" his body and doing anything improper to him, Xia Mu can keep his distance from King Ling.

Afterwards, the will of the Spirit King once again echoed in the spiritual world.

He discussed the content of the deal with Xia Mu.

When discussing a deal, it's natural that it's not always possible to reach an agreement right from the start.

After all the bargaining, we finally came to an agreement.

After the negotiation was concluded, the immense power that enveloped the Spirit King's inner palace also disappeared.

For a moment, everything was calm.

Xia Mu walked forward and looked at the Spirit King who was sealed in an amber-like crystal. His eyes flickered. Finally, without saying anything, he turned around and left.

Walk out of the Lingwang Palace and come to the square.

Then I saw the burly Hyoshubu Ichibei sitting cross-legged on the ground with his hands folded in front of him, closing his eyes and resting.

"it's over?"

Hyoshubu Ichibei opened his eyes, slowly stood up, and asked Xia Mu.

"ended."

Xia Mu nodded.

As for what he talked about with the Spirit King, he did not tell Hyoshubu Ichibei.

Although Ichibei of the Hyoshubu was somewhat curious, he did not ask much. To him, as long as the Spirit King was fine and the Three Realms were fine, nothing else mattered. In other words, the Three Realms were actually above the Spirit King, so it didn't matter who the Spirit King was.

After all, the Spirit King himself is just a tool, a wedge.

……

The conversation with the Soul King is over, and from now on, I will be a guest in Squad Zero.

Coincidentally, Ichigo had almost visited the entire Zero Squad.

He accepted many gifts from the members of Squad Zero, but there was one most important thing that had not been completed, which was "sword forging". Whether to abandon the current sword was a very tangled matter for Ichigo.

When the conversation between Xia Mu and King Ling ended, he met Xia Mu first and expressed his confusion.

"In other words, the biggest problem that bothers you right now is that you are unwilling to give up your current sword? Even though Wang Yue of Ermeiwu said that this sword can be used as material to integrate into your new sword?"

"Yes." Ichigo nodded. "Teacher, I don't understand why you want me to forge a new Zanpakutō? Is it because I have never had a shallow sword?"

Although Shiba Kaien concealed some content in his previous conversation with Ichigo, he still told Ichigo part of the truth.

Such as the fact that Ichigo didn't have Asahi.

All of the Shinigami's Zanpakutō are derived from a special sword called Asauchi.

"This is one of the reasons. The other reason is the other power hidden in your body." They have already arrived at the Soul King Palace. If Ichigo wants to forge a real Zanpakuto, he will have to know his origin sooner or later. Therefore, there is no need for Natsuki to continue hiding it.

Decided to tell Ichigo some reasons.

"Another power? The power of the Hollow?"

Ichigo first thought of the Hollow within his own body.

He learned to master the power of hollowness at the hands of Aizen, but that doesn't mean he likes this power.

The time of emptiness is extremely short. If it exceeds that time, he will fall into a state of madness. At that time, it is very likely to hurt the people around him. This is an extremely dangerous force.

Moreover, as a god of death, Ichigo has had many contacts with hollows.

He knew very well what kind of existence Xu was.

"It's not the power of a Hollow." An unexpected answer came from Natsuki's mouth, and Ichigo was stunned.

"Although the power of the Hollow is chaotic and disordered, it is actually the opposite power of the God of Death. These two powers can coexist and even complement each other, thus evolving. The transformation of the God of Death into the Hollow and the transformation of the Hollow into the God of Death are based on this principle."

"I'm talking about the third force in your body!"

"The third power?" Ichigo suddenly had an idea and thought he had the answer. "Oh, I see. It's the power of Fullbring?"

"It's not Fullbring! The power of Fullbring is based on the power of Hollows and some special substances. Although it is amazing, it is essentially the same as the power of Hollows." Xia Mu gave a negative answer again. As he spoke, his tone changed, "The third power I'm talking about is the power of the Quincy."

"!!!"

Ichigo's body shook, and his pupils contracted sharply. He looked horrified, and found such an answer, such a result, somewhat unacceptable.

Of course he knew about the Quincy; he was even very familiar with them.

Ishida is a Quincy.

But why do I possess the power of a Quincy?
Xia Mu continued: "When mentioning the Quincy, we have to mention a war that happened a thousand years ago."

"The war between the Shinigami and the Quincies."

"If you were an ordinary person, you wouldn't need to know about these past events. But obviously, you are not an ordinary person. You have the power of a Quincy in your body, so you have the right to know."

The Lingwang Palace is very quiet.

There are only a few people here, and because it is high in the sky, if no one speaks, even the sound of the wind cannot be heard.

In this quiet atmosphere, and because there is enough time.

Natsuki told Ichigo the whole story of the war a thousand years ago, as well as the story of Yhwach.

“Even if you call yourself the God of Death, you cannot change the fact that the power of the Quincy in your body has revived. The power of the God of Death that you usually rely on is actually the power of the Quincy…”

As he spoke, Xia Mu looked at the Zanpakutō on Ichigo's back, "This sword is more like a sacred slayer than a Zanpakutō!"

"The Holy Arrows of Extinction are the weapons used by the Quincies. They don't necessarily look like bows and arrows, they could also look like swords or guns."

Ichigo's heart was suddenly in turmoil.

After Natsuki mentioned that the third power in his body was the power of a Quincy, Ichigo was in a state of confusion.

Now, after Natsuki revealed the Quincy's past, he revealed the whole truth about his sword.

It was becoming increasingly difficult for Ichigo to accept.

"Where does my Quincy power come from?"

The power of the god of death is understandable, after all, his father is the god of death. The power of the hollows can also be related to Aizen, after all, Aizen once targeted him, so what about the power of the Quincy? How did this power appear in his body?

"If you want to know the truth, it's very simple. Just go back and meet your parents." Xia Mu made a suggestion.

As he spoke, he looked not far away.

"sorry to bother you!"

Nimaiya Wang Yue raised his hand and gave Xia Mu an "OK" gesture. He walked forward, carrying Ichigo to a door, and kicked Ichigo into the door.

A feeling of falling from a great height came over me.

When Ichigo came to his senses, he suddenly found himself at the door of his home.

And he was no longer wearing the Death Tyrant costume, but a set of ordinary clothes.

Just like that, he returned to the real world from the Soul King Palace.

"Ichigo, you're back."

Just at this time, his parents came back from outside, and after seeing Ichigo, they greeted him gently.

Ichigo was still thinking about what he learned from Natsuki in the Soul King Palace.

At this moment, after hearing what his parents said, he came back to his senses. With a complicated expression, he said to them, "Dad, Mom, I have some questions for you."

Kurosaki Isshin looked at his wife, then looked at Ichigo who had a complicated expression, "Let's talk about it when we get home."

Soon, the three returned home.

As for Ichigo's two younger sisters, they were still in school and had not yet finished school.

After returning to his familiar home, Ichigo went straight to his father and asked the questions in his mind.

The main thing is to ask my father.

"You already know that."

After hearing Ichigo's words, surprisingly, Ichigo's mother, Kurosaki Masaki, did not show any doubts, but sighed.

"Mom?"

Ichigo looked at his mother.

"Yes, you have the power of a Quincy in your body." Kurosaki Masaki told Ichigo the truth, "This power comes from me."

"I am a Quincy!"

When Ichigo heard this, he was once again shocked.

"But?"

Ichigo really wanted to say that he didn't notice anything unusual about his mother. If his mother was a Quincy, he should be able to find some clues.

"Now I have lost the power of a Quincy." Maybe it was because the mother and son had the same mind, but Kurosaki Masaki guessed what Ichigo was thinking and said another sentence.

Next, it’s time to tell stories.

Ichigo is still a listener, but the difference is that this time the narrators of the story are his parents.

So, after learning the origin of the Quincy from Natsuki, Ichigo learned about his own past.

My father used to be a god of death in Soul Society, and how he met my mother.

What is the mother's background and her relationship with the Ishida family.

And what roles did his teachers Natsuki and Urahara Kisuke play in the process of their acquaintance.

What did Aizen do?

All these secrets were revealed to Ichigo one by one.

Ichigo's heart was in a state of ups and downs during this process.

It’s really because the past is so tortuous.

My life story is actually like this?

He gradually understood the source of the power in his body.

I understand why Aizen, the teacher, Urahara Kisuke and others treat me that way.

All the past is clear.

Immediately, Kurosaki Masaki started talking about another thing.

About the Quincy.

When talking about the Quincy, there is one person that cannot be avoided, and that is Yhwach.

Thus, Ichigo learned about the many evil deeds committed by the founder of the Quincy.

He finally understood what the Quincy power in his body meant to him.

This is a huge hidden danger.

Not only could this power not help him, but because he was also a half-blood Quincy, the Sorcerity launched by Yhwach would also threaten his life.

In addition, Kurosaki Masaki emphasized one thing.

That is a holy thing.

This happened when Ichigo was nine years old.

It would have been fine if this matter had not been mentioned, but as soon as it was mentioned, Ichigo immediately remembered it.

"that time……"

After becoming a Shinigami, Ichigo of course thought about his past. Meeting the Hollow by the river was definitely an unforgettable event.

At that time, both myself and my mother were in great danger.

After that, I passed out, and when I woke up, my mother was fine.

He thought that it was a passing Shinigami who solved the problem of the Hollow. Now he knows the truth. It was indeed the Shinigami who solved the Hollow. However, if Yhwach had not activated the Holy Separation, there would actually be no need for the Shinigami. His mother could have solved the problem alone.

After understanding everything.

Ichigo suddenly felt that his Zanpakutō was a little hot.

No, that's not a Zanpakutō.

It was definitely not a coincidence that the power of the Quincy appeared in his own hand in the form of a Zanpakutō.

Combined with what my mother said, that Yhwach can influence all Quincy, has I been influenced by him?
At home, Ichigo learned a lot of things.

My mood is also a mess.

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Now, do you understand?"

"Teacher?" Ichigo was stunned when he heard the voice.

Natsuki's voice continued to be heard, saying to Ichigo, "Now that you understand, come back."

"How do I get back?" Ichigo asked quickly.

Because of his mixed feelings, he didn't care that his father and mother were right next to him.

"You can come back anytime you want."

Then, Ichigo began to think about it.

He felt the stars moving and the constellations shifting, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself back in the Spirit King Palace. (End of this chapter)
