Chapter 72: The sword born in response to a wish!

The origin of obsession can be traced back to when Xia Mu first came into this world.

This world does not refer to Soul Society, but Hueco Mundo.

As soon as he arrived in Hueco Mundo, he was attacked by a Hollow before he could figure out the situation. He was then saved by the God of Death, but he didn't expect that a more powerful Hollow appeared and killed the God of Death who saved him.

His life was once again threatened.

At the critical moment, he picked up the Zanpakutō of the dead god of death, reawakened the sword, and swung it in a daze, killing the Hollow.

Afterwards, while he was still in a state of blurred consciousness, he felt as if he was resting his head on someone's knees. That warm feeling gradually calmed his heart, which had been filled with panic and confusion due to many of his experiences.

After that, Watanabe Yuji taught him everything about being a god of death.

He also gradually came to understand this world, and then began to accept this world.

But the feeling at that time has always filled Xia Mu's heart.

He is not a stupid person.

Under the circumstances at that time, the only thing that could help him resolve the crisis and save his life was his own Zanpakutō.

Although he didn't know why the Zanpakuto became dormant again after that, Natsuki firmly believed that as long as he persisted in his efforts, he would be able to reawaken the dormant power of the Zanpakuto sooner or later.

The same is true.

After years of hard training, as his strength increased, he mastered the Shikai of his Zanpakutō.

He also understood that his Zanpakutō had been in a semi-liberated state from the very beginning.

Only in this way could he quietly absorb the scattered spirit particles after killing Xu, thereby improving his own spiritual power level.

But some obsessions cannot be eliminated even if one has mastered the initial release.

Xia Mu's Shikai is like improving one's own spiritual power step by step. When the spiritual power reaches a certain level, it will be mastered naturally.

During this period, he did not see his Zanpakutō.

He still doesn't know the true appearance of his Zanpakutō.

Apart from the voice, which was confirmed to be a "female", there was no other information.

Until today, with the help of Urahara Kisuke's divine body, he finally saw his own... "sword"!
After hearing Xia Mu's words, the girl who walked out of the red fog opposite did not speak, but raised her hand, and a blood-red long sword appeared in her hand. She looked at Xia Mu and swung the blood-red long sword in her hand to her side.

Suddenly, black fog surged.

A number of blood-red long swords suddenly appeared on the ground in front of Xia Mu. They were stuck in the ground, waiting for someone to pull them out.

Xia Mu immediately understood what the girl meant.

"Want to fight me?"

"Or rather, I have to fight you!"

He thought of the time when Ichigo Kurosaki was learning Bankai in the original work, and also of the disadvantages of learning Bankai with the help of Tenshintai that Urahara Kisuke had told him about before coming here. Because the Zanpakutō is forcibly materialized into reality, it is like you are sleeping at home and suddenly someone forcibly wakes you up and drags you out to the street to blow the cold wind, so the temper of the Zanpakutō will become a little irritable and restless.

Normally speaking, to subdue a Zanpakutō, one does not necessarily have to fight.

For example, if your Zanpakutō is very close to you and likes you, you may be able to make him submit to you just by words.

But if one wants to subdue the Zanpakutō with the help of the Divine Body, the only option is fighting.

Xia Mu is not afraid of fighting.

When using the Divine Body Transformation, he had already thought of everything.

He grasped the hilt of a long knife and pulled it out.

Then, his figure flashed and jumped out from the many long swords stuck in the ground, and he came in front of the girl.

In the crimson mist, the two were speechless, and the battle began quietly.

……

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. Yoruichi came here again, and so did Urahara Kisuke.

"Didn't it take you three days to master Bankai?"

"Why hasn't he come out yet?"

Yoruichi looked at Urahara Kisuke beside him and asked in a deep voice.

She was a little worried about Xia Mu.

Urahara Kisuke said softly: "Although it is true that I spent three days to master Bankai, it does not mean that the Godly Body Transformation can only be maintained for three days. However, if the battle lasts too long, it is not a good thing."

For the god of death, a long battle is itself a matter of consuming energy and strength, not to mention the need to maintain the existence of the god body. The power of the Zanpakuto itself is evolved from the spiritual power of the god of death.

This will further increase the burden on the god of death.

These are Urahara Kisuke's personal experiences after practicing Bankai with the help of the Tenshintai.

Three days is the limit.

If it exceeds three days, the chances of the Shinigami defeating his Zanpakutō will be greatly reduced.

Three days have passed now and I don’t know when Xia Mu will come out.

Although he did not tell Yoruichi about these things, which would cause her further worry, Urahara Kisuke was also a little worried in his heart.

In this way, another two days passed.

Xia Mu still didn't come out.

But through the perception of Xia Mu's spiritual veins, it can be confirmed that Xia Mu seems to be in good condition now.

Five days have passed, and Xia Mu's spiritual pressure is still so strong, which is really incredible.

Since Natsuki was learning Bankai, Yoruichi and Urahara Kisuke couldn't interrupt him, so they could only continue to watch and wait.

And so, another ten days passed.

Until the fifteenth day.

On this day, Xia Mu finally walked out of the barrier.

It was different from Urahara Kisuke who spent three days to learn Bankai and appeared in a disheveled and bruised state.

Apart from his torn clothes, Xia Mu did not have any major injuries.

Seeing that Xia Mu was safe and sound, Ye Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Her superb skills in instant step allowed her to reach Xia Mu in one go.

"Success?"

During the fifteen days, her mood became increasingly heavy.

If he doesn't come out for three days, I can still understand it.

Five days is barely acceptable.

But after seven or ten days, even though he could still sense Xia Mu's spiritual veins, Ye Yi's heart was already quietly lifted.

After that, another five days passed.

I thought Xia Mu would continue to struggle there, but unexpectedly, at this time, Xia Mu successfully walked out.

"It's considered a success."

Xia Mu gave an ambiguous answer.

In my mind, I thought about the experiences of the past fifteen days.

I thought of the last words Feiyuan said.

"The so-called Scarlet Wish is a power born in response to your own wishes..."
