Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

"Pity."

Perhaps only when Gu Yun continues to grow, or when he finds a giant god like Da Luo Tian to inquire, will he be able to learn the true origin of the scroll.

However, Gu Yun never truly believed in the Great Luo Heaven.

Gu Yun had already developed trust in Changshengtian and Duotian, even though Changshengtian was only bound to him by a simple contract.

However, in Gu Yun's eyes, the existence of a contract is not a standard for measuring trust.

Otherwise, Iijima Tamaki, Hayasaka Nao, and Hiratsuka Shizuka, they have no contract with Gu Yun, yet Gu Yun trusts them.

But the Great Luo Heaven…

Gu Yun had no evidence; he simply felt that Da Luo Tian was dangerous.

Gu Yun was skeptical of what Da Luo Tian had said.

The reason for not making an enemy of them is twofold: firstly, it's an unnecessary worry; secondly, Da Luo Tian is indeed not Gu Yun's enemy at present, and they have no conflict of interest.

Of course, the most crucial issue is that Gu Yun is not invincible.

He could sense that he was still some distance from the world's combat power ceiling.

"It seems I still need to get stronger."

Gu Yun has never been in a hurry for power, and he remains so now.

Even though the Great Luo Heaven might become a threat, Gu Yun did not excessively pursue power.

He was simply doing his own thing, not being forced to live.

"Crack!"

Soon, cracks appeared on the surface of the golden cocoon.

The next moment, Gu Yun's gaze seemed to pierce through the golden cocoon and see Shiki Eiki enveloped in golden energy.

"Forehead…"

Gu Yun was taken aback and quickly looked away.

In his eyes, the blue and green official robes that Shiki Eiki was originally wearing had completely disappeared. She was curled up inside the golden cocoon, completely naked, her smooth and delicate skin so tender that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it.

Although it's just a flat figure, it looks about ten years old, a pure little loli.

To be honest, there's really nothing to see.

"Hey~~"

Shiki Eiki murmured softly as she awoke from her slumber and immediately noticed the changes in her body.

Yeah, my clothes are gone, I'm completely naked.

Always adhering to etiquette and tradition, Shiki Eiki blushed slightly and quickly used her divine power to create a new official robe for herself as a god of the underworld.

"Let's check her information first."

Gu Yun opened the scroll.

【Shiki Eiki】

Race: King Yama, Messenger of the Underworld

Spiritual Rank: 70→75 (80)

Talents: Ten Kings of Hell, Pure Glass Mirror, Ultimate Sin, Reverse Reincarnation, Hall of Right and Wrong, Awakening: Yama Senado

"So much talent."

Gu Yun discovered that Shiki Eiki had become much stronger after receiving the inheritance from the messenger of the underworld.

"I, my power..."

Emerging from the golden cocoon enveloped in divine power, Shiki Eiki stared in astonishment at her slender, fair hands: "Is this really my power? So strong, so incredibly strong!"

Before receiving the Dao inheritance, Shiki Eiki relied on the godhood of Yama to raise her own spiritual level to 70.

However, this is only on paper. Shiki Eiki herself has never mastered the power of the seventh realm, and she only barely mastered the sixth realm.

In the world of sorcerers, comprehending the fifth realm grants them limitless spiritual power, and reaching the sixth realm allows them to command magic with every gesture and word.

The seventh realm is a powerful force that transcends the river of time and transforms itself into a concept.

As for the eighth realm, if one had to use a metaphor, it would be to control everything in the world, making one virtually omnipotent.

There are ways to improve one's spiritual level.

There is no shortcut to mastering a certain level of skill; one can only proceed step by step.

However, Gu Yun broke this limitation. First, there was the Spirit Vision Technique, a forbidden technique that was practically a bug. He could forcibly master it, not to mention the sixth and seventh realms, but even the tenth realm.

Furthermore, the Hundred Demons Scroll also accomplished this incredible feat.

Once again marveling at the scroll's mystery and power, Gu Yun had a vague feeling that the Hundred Ghosts Scroll was the key to his ability to contend with, and even surpass, the Great Luo Heaven.

He didn't know where the idea came from, but Gu Yun believed his judgment was correct.

After all, if even the Hundred Ghosts Scroll, Gu Yun's strongest cheat, couldn't deal with giants like Da Luo Tian, ​​then he had no need to worry anymore.

This is the trump card. If even the trump card isn't used, what else can Gu Yun do?

Since we can't win anyway, we might as well just give up.

To avoid wasting your time and energy only to end up not enjoying anything at all.

"How are you feeling, Miss Yama?"

"not bad!"

"I've never been this good."

Shiki Eiki became Tanigumo's shikigami, and her intimacy with him increased significantly.

At the same time, she finally understood why those shikigami had attacked her.

Imagine, given her current attitude and affection for Gu Yun, if someone were to speak rudely to him, or even ignore or leave him aside, Shiki Eiki feels she wouldn't be able to tolerate it either.

What about being impartial and fair?

Shiki Eiki felt that she might just throw that person into the cycle of reincarnation and give them a proper makeover.

Chapter 322 The Head of the Ten Palaces

The awakening and inheritance of the power of the scroll painting comes at a price, one of which is the level of goodwill towards Gu Yun.

This affinity stems from spiritual resonance, which builds a bridge between the hearts of both parties, connecting them.

For example, a mother protects her child because in her mind, this is her child, so protecting him becomes an instinct and a subconscious act.

The same applies to Shiki Eiki now.

She was originally all alone, and her understanding of the rules of the underworld was that they had to be upheld, hence her impartiality.

But if Shiki Eiki has a child, can she still be the same as before?

It's hard to say, because Eiki Shiki didn't have any children.

However, after the spiritual resonance, a relationship beyond blood ties developed between Shiki Eiki and Tanigumo.

In the sorcerer's understanding, the mind is above bloodline, the soul is above the mind, and the spirit is even above the soul, being the origin of origins.

"Miss Yama..."

"You don't need to be so polite, just use my name."

“Then, Eiki.”

Gu Yun could sense Shiki Eiki's joy at this title. He couldn't read the minds of shikigami and guardian spirits, but he was still very perceptive of the transmission of these emotions.

"Could you explain your power to me?"

"it is good."

Eiki Shiki began to explain the power she had received after being passed down from the messenger of the underworld. Some of it was already there, but now it had been sublimated, and some were completely new abilities.

"My first ability is called the Ten Kings of Hell, which is a functional power."

With Shiki Eiki's explanation, Gu Yun quickly understood the true value of the Ten Kings of Hell talent.

From this moment forward, Shiki Eiki holds a far higher position among the civil servant deities of the underworld than before.

Originally, she was just one of the Ten Kings of Hell, but after receiving the inheritance, Shiki Eiki became the head of the Ten Kings of Hell, with the responsibility of leading the Ten Kings' Palace.

Moreover, Shiki Eiki also has the right to question the judgments of the other nine underworld lords.

Furthermore, when vacancies arise among the other nine kings of the underworld, Shiki Eiki, as the head of the Ten Kings of Hell, can temporarily assume their positions while exercising the powers of other kings.

"So, you've effectively stripped the Ten Courts of their power!"

Gu Yun discovered that Shiki Eiki's power had increased more than tenfold. If she were to harbor any ill intentions, she could potentially overturn the entire order of the underworld.

Fortunately, Shiki Eiki wouldn't break the rules for personal desires.

Therefore, if someone were to overthrow the order of the underworld, that person would inevitably be Gu Yun, not Shiki Eiki.

Excluding the direct and indirect influence of Gu Yun, Shiki Eiki remains the same impartial and ruthless Yama.

Moreover, Shiki Eiki's original workload was already very heavy. If it were increased ninefold, it wouldn't be ambition, but blatant inhumanity.

Even though he's already dead, he's still so entangled; he's truly a living Yama.

"The Mirror of Pure Crystal".

This is Shiki Eiki's second innate ability. Its essence is a person's inner world, which can reflect their deepest memories.

"Then, a mirror made of pure crystal is used to draw the other person into their spiritual world."

Those who fall into the spiritual world will enter a special space where they lose their memories, experience a distorted perception of time, and continue to sink into it until Shiki Eiki releases them.

Simply put, this ability is like a dream within a dream, but it is not a pure dream; rather, it is a space-time constructed by the mind.

The Pure Glass Mirror is like a seal, but it also has an extremely powerful ability to break seals.

"My Pure Crystal Mirror can open closed doors through the heart."

The term "gate" here is more of a conceptual one, referring to both physical doors, such as room doors, prison doors, and doors to the heart, and also to things that are closed off, blocked, and inaccessible.
