Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

Nimaiya Oetsu held any Shinigami who cherished their Zanpakuto in high regard. As a veteran who had lived for countless years, he immediately recognized the sincerity in Naraku Sora's words.

Therefore, even though he could not communicate with Emperor Fujaya, Nimaiya Oetsu still believed that this disciple of Yamamoto Shigekuni was a sword enthusiast like himself.

Such a person is much more interesting than the monk with the eye.

After I finish my business, I must invite him to the Phoenix Palace to have a proper exchange on the maintenance of Zanpakuto.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly remembered something, and the expression on Nimaiya Oetsu's face suddenly became strange.

He flashed to Naraku's side, casually placing his hand on Naraku's shoulder, revealing a sly and disheveled expression:

"Bro, would you be interested in learning how to forge a Zanpakuto with me?"

Nai Luo Kong: "?"

What kind of development is this?

Could it be that Wang Yue, the owner of these two houses, has taken a liking to his muscular physique and wants him to stay and help with blacksmithing for free?

Now that he has the Emperor of Punishment, those glamorous and cheap women outside can't attract him at all.

Just as he was about to refuse, several figures suddenly descended from the sky.

A violent gust of wind followed, and in no time at all, the boastful Nimaiya Oetsu was knocked to the ground, and several bare feet ruthlessly trampled on the sword god's body.

Despite being an important member of the Zero Squad and second only to the Spirit King in status within the Spirit King Palace, he appeared utterly devoid of dignity at this moment.

"Hey, you guys, at least give me some face in public."

Wang Yue, lying on the ground, said in a trembling voice.

The red-haired tomboyish girl stomped down:

"You idiot, I told you to check the coolant every day, how come there's a problem today?"

"Perhaps we forgot because we were busy welcoming guests to the Spirit King Palace?" explained a generous and forthright woman with golden braids.

"This is troublesome, Lord Wang Yue. Please go back and resolve this quickly."

"If we delay any longer, it will affect the Phoenix Palace."

Naraku Sora stared wide-eyed at the scene before him in shock.

Despite being mentally prepared, I couldn't help but feel a little envious of Oetsu Nimaiya's Zanpakuto guard when he appeared.

By the way, if I learned how to forge Zanpakuto, could I be like him?

Creating a Zanpakuto theme park?

Thinking of this, Naraku narrowed his eyes.

"ok, ok, I got it."

Nimaiya Oetsu struggled to his feet, then, surrounded by his Zanpakuto, waved to the people beside him:

"Little Naraku, if you're interested, you must visit Phoenix Palace!"

As soon as the words were spoken, several figures vanished from their spot.

Judging from their hurried departure, it's not hard to guess that the problem the Zanpakuto guards mentioned was no small matter.

Watching Nimaiya Oetsu leave, Hyosube Ichibei grinned:

"You have all had a long journey today, so please rest at Lingfan Lidian for a day. We can discuss other matters tomorrow."

"Tian Shilang, why don't you arrange for the guests to stay in your Qilin Palace?"

Kirinji Tenjiro pursed his lips but said nothing.

……

……

The Qilin Palace was quite spacious, and the streets were bustling with activity, with many robust and burly men coming and going.

Kirinji Tenjiro also offered an explanation for this.

Due to certain special reasons, heavy objects need to be moved frequently, so strong and capable people were selected from the royal district.

As for the reason, we'll find out after dinner.

Filled with curiosity, after having dinner, the group, led by Kirinji Tenjiro, arrived at a valley.

The surrounding area is piled with huge rocks, forming towering peaks, and thick metal pipes are interspersed, continuously discharging hot springs of different colors into the pool below.

Kirinji Tenjiro changed into a bath towel, wrapped strips of cloth around his hair to prevent it from getting messy, and instantly appeared at the hot spring, saying unhappily:

"Although I'm very annoyed by your arrogant brat, since it's Ichibei's idea, I'll explain it simply to prevent you from dying here."

"This is the core technology of the Kirin Palace, and it is also one of the main reasons for my promotion to the Zero Division."

"The Hell of Bones and the Hell of Blood Pools!"

"The former can squeeze out the spiritual pressure and blood of the person being immersed. If the patient is soaked in water, their injuries and illnesses will be expelled along with the spiritual pressure and blood."

"The latter will enter the body of the person being immersed through the skin, replenishing their blood and spiritual pressure."

Jushiro Ukitake tightened his yukata, just as he was about to take the lead and try it out, when he was stopped by a large hand.

Narakuku looked at him with disdain and disgust.

"Now that we've covered the advantages, what about the disadvantages?"

Are you trying to make fun of me?

As soon as he finished speaking, Kirinji Tenjiro no longer concealed his smile and frankly said:

"That's right, the Bone Hell will drain the spiritual pressure of normal people until all that's left is a pile of bones."

"As for the Blood Pool Hell, if the spiritual pressure and blood of the person being immersed are sufficient, the pool water will cause them to overexert themselves, resulting in the body decaying in all directions."

"Kid, everyone knows that Yamamoto Shigekuni is unparalleled in bravery. As his disciple, you're not a coward, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Naraku sneered disdainfully and forcefully tugged at the towel around his waist:

"What a joke, you think I'm afraid?"

Under the expectant gaze of Kirinji Tenjiro, his strong body slowly sank into the white hot spring water, actively releasing his defenses and allowing the effects of the White Bone Hell to take effect on his body.

The reason I'm so confident is entirely due to Aizen's words.

Just now, a voice entered his ears.

"If I'm not mistaken, these two special hot springs should work for you."

"Although super-fast regeneration can heal injuries, too many battles in a short period of time have caused some hidden injuries to accumulate, which can be taken advantage of to heal them."

Upon hearing this voice, Naraku Sora's eyes widened.

He often clashed with Aizen because he wasn't bold enough.

While he was still making verbal sarcastic remarks, Aizen had already started making underhanded moves right under the noses of the Zero Division.

How heretical and audacious!

He truly deserves to be my adopted son!

Trusting Aizen, Naraku Sora allowed the White Bone Hell to take effect, and when he released his spiritual pressure defense, the hot spring seeped into his pores.

Warmth poured in from all directions.

Soon, dark red blood and spiritual pressure were continuously expelled.

Upon seeing this, Kirinji Tenjiro was stunned for a moment, a look of confusion flashing in his eyes.

That's not right!

Under normal circumstances, if a Grim Reaper had accumulated so many hidden injuries, he would have been bedridden or dead long ago.

But how come this kid is acting like nothing happened? Just how exaggerated is his physique to be like this?!

After expelling almost a third of his blood and spiritual pressure, Naraku Sora finally stood up from the hot spring and moved around a bit.

Although I was a little weak, my body felt much lighter, as if I had been carrying a heavy burden all along and had finally gotten rid of it.

Pfft!

As he leaped into the Blood Pool Hell, the red hot spring water began to replenish his depleted blood and spiritual pressure, and his empty body gradually began to fill up.

Naraku Sora squinted his eyes contentedly, already plotting how to steal the recipes for the two hot springs.

Such a good thing is a bit of a waste to keep it in the Spirit King Palace.

If an identical one could be set up in the team barracks, the training effect of the team members could easily be multiplied several times.

Seeing the guy's carefree expression, Kirinji Tenjiro shook his head and stopped worrying about the issue of physical strength.

Let Hyosube Ichibei worry about these things.

"You interrupted me, and I almost forgot about the important matter."

Kirinji Tenjiro looked at the two curious people beside him:

"Hey, your name is Aizen Sousuke, right?"

"Should we go down and give it a try?"

Aizen politely declined immediately, as people's constitutions are different, and he had no hidden injuries in his body.

Kirinji Tenjiro nodded, not forcing him, but looked at Ukitake Jushiro and said seriously:

"Captain Ukitake, please."

"The monk specifically instructed me to bring you here to experience it."

Ukitake Jushiro was startled, then his brows furrowed, as if he had thought of something, and his eyes suddenly widened:

"Could it be..."

Hearing their conversation, Naraku Sora curiously raised his eyes.

He had a general understanding of Jushiro Ukitake's condition, and besides the memories in his mind, Yamamoto had also discussed similar topics.

He contracted lung disease at the age of three and almost died on the spot. Later, he sacrificed his diseased lungs to Mimihachi, the native god of Rukongai, to fix the condition of his lungs at that stage.

It has stopped getting worse, but it can no longer get better either.

He always looks sickly.
