Chapter 95: Blasphemy against the Spirit King
The origins of the five great nobles are extremely ancient, and can be traced back to the beginning of the world.

So far, it has exceeded at least a million years.

Even though the lifespan of the God of Death is very long, it is impossible for him to live for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years. Normally speaking, in this dangerous world, being able to live for a few hundred years is already a great achievement.

Although the five nobles are special, it does not mean that they can ignore the dangers of this world.

However, the fact is that the five great noble families have only been passed down for more than twenty generations.

Although some of them are longer in number, they are only a few generations longer.

If we calculate over millions of years, there are more than twenty generations, and the average lifespan of each generation is 50,000 years.

This is obviously impossible.

The reason why this happens.

This is because the first generation head of the family lived a very long time.

As the creators of the world, the beings who followed the Soul King in the past were extremely special and naturally could not be compared with ordinary gods of death. The ancestors of every great noble family possessed incomparably powerful strength.

Logically speaking, they should be immortal.

However, somehow, at a certain era, they suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Is it death? Is it life?
No one knows.

But for the Tsunayashiro family, after the ancestor disappeared, only one sword belonging to the ancestor was passed down.

This sword is none other than the "Yanra Kagano no Mori", the Zanpakuto used by the ancestor of the Tsunayashiro family in the past.

This sword possesses extraordinary abilities.

In addition to the ability to imitate other swords at will.

The most special thing about it is that, although its owner is dead, it does not degenerate into a shallow sword and become annihilated after the death of its owner like other Zanpakutō of the Shinigami.

Therefore, the Tsunayashiro family also had a guess.

That is, the ancestor may not be dead, but still alive.

In the first few generations, the head of the Tsunayashiro family tried to find the whereabouts of the ancestor.

But to no avail.

Later, we had to acknowledge the fact that the ancestor was dead.

At the same time, the more they used the Zanpakuto left by the ancestor, the more they discovered that perhaps it was not that the ancestor was still alive, but that the ancestor's power was supporting the existence of the sword, but that this sword itself was a demon sword.

Every time the Yanluo Mirror Classic is used, it grants the user extraordinary power, but it requires the user to sacrifice their soul to please the knife. Every time the knife is swung, the user's soul will be cut.

It would be fine if it was a knife that could be used at will by others.

Unfortunately, this sword can only be used by those with the blood of the Tsunayashiro family.

Therefore, in the modern era, that is, the period when Tsunaya was born.

He completely banned the knife.

Even though the Tsunayashiro family was declining and there were no truly strong people left, he never thought of using the power of this sword.

The power gained with the help of this sword is like drinking poison to quench thirst. This power is short-lived and cannot make a person truly strong. On the contrary, excessive use of the power of the sword will make one weaker and weaker, eventually leading to death with a damaged soul.

Compared to the use of this sword, Tsunayashiro Tokio was more in favor of another thing done by the family's top leaders.

That is... studying the Soul King.

Among the five great noble families, the Tsunayashiro family was the least respectful to the Soul King.

On the surface, they, like the other great nobles, believed that the Soul King was the ruler of the world, high above everyone else, and that no one could go against his will. But in reality, because they knew the truth, the Tsunayashiro family's attitude toward the Soul King was just like that.

But because the world needs the Spirit King to be maintained, without the Spirit King as a pillar, the whole world will collapse. They have no intention of blaspheming the Spirit King or trying to overthrow him from the throne. On the contrary, the current situation is actually quite good.

King Ling is high above and rules by doing nothing.

The five great nobles nominally assist the Spirit King in governing the world, but in reality, they are the ones who are truly superior.

The Spirit King in the Spirit King Palace is an untouchable existence.

But apart from it, there is actually a lot of Spirit King's power scattered outside the Spirit King Palace.

Those were the fragments of the Spirit King that were thrown around the world when the ancestors of the five great nobles dismembered the Spirit King.

Long years passed.

These Soul King fragments have long been integrated into the cycle of soul particles. Some of them even appear directly in the bodies of newly born souls, are born and die with the souls, and then mix into the new cycle of soul particles.

The Tsunamiyo family sought powerful strength, so they set their sights on these Soul King fragments.

According to the research of the Tsunayashiro family, when a soul with a Soul King fragment in its body becomes a Shinigami, perhaps because of the Soul King fragment, this type of Shinigami is naturally more powerful than ordinary Shinigami, and has a higher level of spiritual power.

Initially, they tried to integrate the Soul King fragments they found into the bodies of Tsunayashiro family members.

However, this foreign fragment not only failed to give them powerful strength, but instead quickly caused the souls of the tribe members to collapse and die.

The experiment failed.

The reason why the Soul King fragments appear in the bodies of those souls is that in the process of the soul particle circulation, they possessed the Soul King fragments before they were born, and this thing was naturally fused with their souls.

As for acquired integration, it is obviously impossible to embed a foreign fragment into an already complete soul, let alone let the soul control this power.

After years of research and understanding the reason, the Tsunayashiro family changed their thinking.

Over the long years, they have been searching throughout Rukongai, finding countless souls that possess fragments of the Soul King. They have been secretly using them to conduct various experiments, hoping to completely analyze the power of the Soul King and allow the Tsunayashiro family to obtain that power.

But this power is not so easy to obtain.

Therefore, all experiments failed.

After the failure, the fragments of the Soul King were stripped off and collected by the Tsunayashiro family.

Later, the Tsunayashiro family had a new idea.

The fragments of the Soul King in the body of the God of Death are difficult to be integrated with other souls because they are innate. But if it is a soul that has a very deep relationship with it, can it inherit this power?
For example, her children!
So, the incident of Tsunayashiro Tokinada marrying Utamachi happened.

Utahara, as a woman from Rukongai, even if she became a Shinigami, she was still a commoner. Why was she chosen by the Tsunayashiro family and married into the family? You know, the five noble families are not numerous. In order to continue the family, they attach great importance to blood inheritance. They mostly choose to marry nobles to ensure the nobility of their blood.

Even though Utahara married Tsunayashiro Tokinada, it does not change the fact that Tsunayashiro Tokinada is a member of the Tsunayashiro family.

The reason why she was able to marry into the Tsunayashiro family was because there was a fragment of the Soul King in Utahara's body.

This marriage was arranged by Tsunayashiro Tokio.

He wanted Tsunayashiro Tokinada and Utahara to have a child, and then deprive Utahara of the Soul King fragment in her body to see if he could integrate the Soul King fragment into her child's body.

If possible, we can focus on training this child at that time.

After all, he is a child with the blood of the Tsunayashiro family flowing in his veins.

As for whether the child's mother would die after being deprived of the Soul King fragment? She was just a commoner, and her life or death was not of concern to the Tsunayashiro family.

But I don't know if Tsunayashiro Tokinada saw through his plan.

Mingming followed the family's arrangement and married Ge Kuang.

But she was not willing to have a child with the other party, and even found an opportunity to kill Ge Kuang.

After Utahara's death, Tsunayashiro extracted the Soul King fragment from his body.

It wasn't as if he had any intention of scolding Tsunayashiro Tokinada.

After all, she is a commoner woman, there is no need to use this against her own family.

Unexpectedly, Tsunayashiro Tokinada was too rampant and attracted the attention of the other two nobles. For the sake of the Tsunayashiro family's reputation, Tsunayashiro Tokisei had no choice but to abandon Tsunayashiro Tokinada. As a result, so many things happened afterwards.

Tsunayashiro Tokinada killed the clan's high-ranking officials and attacked him.

Took away Yanluo Jingdian.

He even took away all the Soul King fragments that the Tsunamiyo family had collected for many years.

“Maybe I was wrong at the beginning.”

"We shouldn't be afraid of this knife!"

Looking at Yan Luo Jingdian who has returned.

There was a fierce look in Tsunayashiro Tokio's eyes.

……

Below the Double Killing Hill, in a secret base.

Natsuki met Urahara Kisuke.

As for Ye Yi, it was because he had a lot of things to deal with that he didn't come here.

"Kisuke, can you make the Grim Reaper's severed arm grow back?"

Natsuki asked Urahara Kisuke this question because of Watanabe Yuji.

Although Watanabe Yuji is a very open-minded person, even though his arm was broken, after returning to the 11th Squadron, he did not choose to retire due to injury, but continued to stay in the squadron and chose to fight to the end.

But after all, not everyone is Captain Yamamoto in the original work, who has extremely powerful fighting power even with only one arm.

If possible, Natsuki still wants to help Watanabe Yuji recover his arm.

When talking about restoring his arm, the first person he thought of was Orihime Inoue in the original work.

Inoue Orihime has special abilities.

In the original work, he helped Grimmjow restore his arm.

It seems that she also restored the arms of Soi-Fong and others that were destroyed in the final battle in Karakura Town.

However, Captain Yamamoto did not allow Orihime Inoue to restore her arm due to some insistence.

However, the problem is that there is no Inoue Orihime at all now.

Therefore, if we want to help Watanabe Yuji recover his arm, we have to find other ways.

If his arm had just been destroyed, Xia Mu could have tried it with his own Bankai.

But during the conversation with Watanabe Yuji, Natsuki learned that Watanabe Yuji's arm had been destroyed several months before he went to Hueco Mundo.

For Xia Mu, who needs to consume enormous spiritual pressure to reverse several breaths, it is simply impossible to do it in a few months.

Therefore, if we want to help Watanabe Yuji recover his arm, we have to find other ways.
