Chapter 166: Star Breathing

Although it sounds simple to modify the breathing method, Shinobu Kocho actually spent a lot of effort on it.

First of all, the breathing method of the Demon Slayer Corps is too rough in terms of the training process. Many of the practices are essentially just overdrawing life, squeezing the vitality of cells in the body, and forcing the cells to become demons under self-harm, thereby allowing the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen to gain power far beyond ordinary people in a short period of time.

This way of becoming stronger is so extreme that from the efficiency of becoming stronger, the speed at which the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps become stronger is much faster than that of the Shinshu Domon and the demons. For example, in the original work, it took Tanjiro only three or four years from the beginning of his training to the end of the story. And in these short three or four years, Tanjiro went from a relatively strong boy to a swordsman capable of fighting against the upper ranks.

The speed of becoming stronger this way is much faster than ghosts eating people!

Even the many techniques of the Shenzhou Dao Sect, which are known for their speed of practice, are far inferior to the Demon Slayer Corps in terms of speed. It should be noted that Dao Sect masters must practice from a young age. For example, Liu Yuxuan practiced for more than ten years before his strength was comparable to that of the Beiming Island Xingming many years ago. Even so, Liu Yuxuan's talent and qualifications are rare in Wudang Mountain.

It is also because of this fast training speed that the breathing method of the Demon Slayer Corps can bring about an extreme demonization state called stripes. Although the stripes can bring extremely strong power, any swordsman who opens the stripes will not live beyond the age of 25. In the final analysis, the power of the stripes is essentially an extreme squeeze on the vitality of cells.

Even for swordsmen who have not opened their markings, their bodies are actually damaged by the extreme pressure of the breathing method. For example, there are many masters of Shenzhou Dao who live to the age of 80 or 90, but in the Demon Slayer Corps, living to the age of 50 or 60 is already a long life. At least as far as Shinobu Kocho knows, there has never been a swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps who has lived past 70.

However, even though the breathing method has these shortcomings, Shinobu Kocho has no intention of changing the early training method of the breathing method. Because the situation of the Demon Slayer Corps is very dangerous now. Not to mention that in the original work, the Demon Slayer Corps will fight Muzan Kibutsuji in two or three years, even the suppression from the top may come at any time.

What the Demon Slayer Corps needs now is not to cultivate their character, but to become strong enough in the shortest possible time. Therefore, the breathing method, which is an extreme way to squeeze the body and become as strong as possible in a short period of time, is in line with the current situation of the Demon Slayer Corps.

What Shinobu Kocho wants to do is actually to combine the breathing techniques of Shenzhou, the chakra practice methods of the ninja world and her own research results on ghosts and humans in this world to create a subsequent practice model for the breathing method. On the one hand, it can make up for the damage to the body caused by the breathing method, and on the other hand, it can also increase the upper limit of the breathing method.

For example, almost every generation of Shenzhou Daomen has masters of the level of Tsugikoku Yoshiichi, but the strongest pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps can hardly deal with even the upper rank, which is obviously not acceptable. What Shinobu Kocho has to do is to make the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps continue to become stronger after reaching the level of the pillar, rather than standing still after their strength reaches a certain level.

So after Shinobu Kocho passed the blood samples of Nezuko and Tanjiro to Miss Tamayo through the crow and asked her to do preliminary research, Urokodaki Sakonji saw Shinobu Kocho draw two pictures in the room. One was a Taoist human meridian map, and the other was a Buddhist three-wheel seven-channel map.

These two pictures represent the Taoist practice that Kocho Shinobu got from Tamamonomae, and the Chakra practice that she inherited from Uchiha Izumi. It should be noted that the so-called Chakra in the Naruto world is originally a Buddhist term. Therefore, the practice of Chakra is naturally closely related to the three wheels and seven meridians of Buddhism.

Combining the vast memories of different worlds and her own dialectics as a scientist, Shinobu Kocho began to constantly try to circulate the Qi and blood in her body and modify the later practice methods of the breathing method. Among them, Mr. Urokodaki Sakonji also provided great help. After all, Shinobu Kocho's body is very young, and the effect of the modified breathing method on self-cultivation is not very obvious in her.

In contrast, Mr. Urokodaki Sakonji was quite old, and had many hidden injuries and life force overdrafts. Therefore, the modified breathing method showed great power on him. In just over a month, Mr. Urokodaki Sakonji clearly felt that his body was much healthier.

After combining hundreds of breathing methods, many techniques of the Shenzhou Dao Sect, and chakra training methods, Kocho Shinobu also had a certain understanding of her future path. Combined with the experience of fighting Li Shimin before, Kocho Shinobu finally decided to create a new breathing method based on the Star Breathing Method.

As for why Star Breathing is used as the foundation?

On the one hand, it was because in Tamamonomae's memory, Taiqing School Louguan Dao had the most skills. On the other hand, Xu Fu, who created the breathing method, was originally a disciple of Taiqing School Louguan Dao.

The breathing method is closely related to the Louguan Dao of the Taiqing Sect. Shinobu Kocho herself is also very familiar with the Louguan Dao. In addition, the Louguan Dao's skills are based on the Zhoutian astrology. Therefore, the Star Breathing Method can naturally become the breathing method based on all breathing methods.

Moreover, with the Star Breathing Technique as the foundation, Kocho Shinobu can also integrate the five basic breathing techniques, as well as the Sun Breathing Technique and the Moon Breathing Technique. It can be said that all rivers converge into one, and the power is infinite. Therefore, after three months of hard thinking and meditation, and with the help of Mr. Urokodaki Sakonji, Kocho Shinobu has created the Star Breathing Technique that belongs only to her.

This newly created Star Breathing Method contains a total of fifteen forms. The first eleven forms are basically the same as Liu Yuxuan's own breathing method, with only slight differences in details and practice process.

For example, the first form of the Star Breathing Method is Tianshu Tanlang, and the second to seventh forms are:

Tianxuan Jumen, Tianji Lucun, Tianquan Wenqu, Yuheng Lianzhen, Kaiyang Wuqu and Yaoguang Pojun.

The seven forms represent the seven constellations of the Big Dipper. From the perspective of combat performance, it is a very simple traditional breathing method. Moreover, these seven forms can be combined together to form a killing move called Sha Po Lang, just like the first twelve forms of the Sun Breathing Method.

As for the eighth to eleventh forms of the Star Breathing Technique, they are respectively the White Tiger Guardian based on the Thunder Breathing Technique, the Black Tortoise Zhiming based on the Water Breathing Technique, the Suzaku Lingguang based on the Flame Breathing Technique, and the Azure Dragon Mengzhang based on the Wind Breathing Technique.

The names of the four sword techniques are the same as Liu Yuxuan's sword techniques created by combining Taoist techniques, but they are completely different in nature. Liu Yuxuan's Star Breathing Technique is based on Taoist techniques, emphasizing the unity of man and nature, and using the power of heaven and earth to kill the demons in the world. But Kocho Shinobu's breathing technique is based on the five basic breathing techniques. Although it can also use the power of heaven and earth, it pays more attention to the swordsman himself.

As for the four major sword skills that follow, they are:

Breath of the Stars·Type Twelve·Emperor's Seat Sky City·Barrier on all sides.

This sword technique was used by Kocho Shinobu in the previous battle with Lu Sheng. It was a sword technique that symbolized Tian Ichigaki, one of the Three Gazes. However, the sword technique used by Kocho Shinobu at that time was a breathing technique that Liu Yuxuan from another world mastered under Uchiha Izumi's observation. It was difficult to classify it as a breathing technique, and it should be regarded as a Taoist technique.

And now, Shinobu Kocho has created the new Emperor's Seat City by combining breathing techniques with Taoist techniques. During the creation process, she used the Rock Breathing Technique as the foundation, and assisted it with the power of the Taiqing School's stars and time and space. Theoretically, if it is brought to its extreme, she can summon the Great Wall of Starlight like Li Shimin and build a nearly invincible space-time defense.

Breathing of the stars·Form of Thirteen·Five Emperors Taiwei·Unifying laws and establishing rules.

This sword skill was created by Shinobu Kocho based on the Taiwei Palace, one of the Three Palaces, and assisted by the Earth Breathing Technique. As a sword skill that symbolizes the law of the court among the Three Palaces, after this move is brought to its extreme, in theory, it can build five floors and twelve cities like Li Shimin, forming its own territory around it.

From now on, the rules of the world within three feet are in my control. All laws are invulnerable and all evils are warded off. Even immortal immortals and Buddhas can only be slaughtered in this domain. I am truly invincible within three feet. My fate is determined by me.

Breathing of the Stars·Type 14·Taiyi Ziwei·Supreme.

This sword technique is the supreme sword technique created by Shinobu Kocho based on the first of the three shrines, the Ziweiyuan, and supplemented by the Heaven's Breathing Technique and Space-Time Ninjutsu. As the Ziweiyuan, the symbol of the Son of Heaven among the three shrines, Shinobu Kocho has spent a lot of effort on this sword technique. In theory, if this technique is used to the extreme, one can travel through different parallel worlds and use various extreme natural phenomena to attack the enemy.

Like Li Shimin, fishing for the original black hole from other worlds, theoretically this trick can be used to the extreme. However, this method is too extreme, almost killing both sides. So unless she encounters an omniscient and omnipotent ghost like Judas, Kocho Shinobu will not do this. Moreover, Kocho Shinobu does not have the ability to fish for the original black hole at this time.

The most she can do is to directly reverse the sunlight from other time and space, so that the sunlight can shine directly on the opponent without being weakened by the atmosphere. Even Tanjiro, who conquered the sun in the original work, would be reduced to ashes under such extreme sunlight!

However, even if it can reverse the original black hole, the 14th form of the Star Breathing Technique, Taichi Ziwei, is still not the ultimate of the Star Breathing Technique. In Shinobu Kocho's conception, the ultimate sword technique of the Star Breathing Technique is:

Breathing of the stars·Form of Fifteen·The waxing and waning of the sun and the moon·The movement of the stars!

Based on the Sun Breathing and Moon Breathing, this is a breathing method that symbolizes the flow of time and is the strongest of all breathing methods. In theory, if this breathing method is used to the extreme, Shinobu Kocho can visualize the long river of fate that contains the past and the future. Even if she only relies on observing the celestial phenomena, she can know everything and be omnipotent.

Moreover, Kocho Shinobu can also use this to watch different parallel worlds, and then, like Uchiha Izumi, integrate countless selves in the Demon Slayer parallel world, and then make her own status, like Uchiha Izumi, transcend the world. At that time, Kocho Shinobu can also project her sights into other worlds like Uchiha Izumi and continue to explore the heavens and the worlds.

Of course, with Kocho Shinobu's current level, she is far from being able to do this. Even with Tamamonomae's thousand-year memory, the long river of fate she can visualize is very narrow, and basically she can't see much. So this Star Breathing Method, the fifteenth form, is only in its infancy, and it will take a long time to be truly completed.

However, even so, the Star Breathing Technique modified by Shinobu Kocho is of great significance to the Demon Slayer Corps. Although the modified Star Breathing Technique has extremely high requirements for practitioners, and requires practitioners to breathe according to fixed meridians in order to master various moves, the power limit of the Star Breathing Technique is much higher than the original breathing technique. Even Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's Sun Breathing Technique cannot compare to the Star Breathing Technique when it is used to its full potential.

So after Shinobu Kocho handed over the modified Star Breathing Technique to the Demon Slayer Corps, the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps immediately began to transform their own breathing techniques based on the Star Breathing Technique, striving to master even greater power within two years and prepare for future powerful enemies.

While Shinobu Kocho was constantly improving the strength of the Demon Slayer Corps, a major incident occurred on the side of Muzan Kibutsuji.

It turned out that after knowing that Kokushibo was defeated by Shinobu Kocho, Muzan Kibutsuji was frightened all day long, worried that the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen led by Shinobu Kocho would come to cause trouble for him.

Although Muzan Kibutsuji is much stronger than Kokushibo, this strength does not create a huge gap. In addition, the Demon Slayer Corps now has a powerful weapon such as ultraviolet light, so Muzan Kibutsuji really feels that his life is becoming more and more unlivable. Therefore, Muzan Kibutsuji now dreams of going to the United States, because he heard that the United States is a free and beautiful country. Even demons can be free and do whatever they want in the United States.

However, considering the damage to himself caused by the sun, Muzan Kibutsuji did not follow Donut's example and become a Run person, oh no, it was a Run ghost. After all, going abroad in this era was still quite troublesome and required a long ship ride. Muzan Kibutsuji was also worried about accidents during the ship ride, so he did not choose Run immediately.

Now, Muzan Kibutsuji is just looking for blue spider lilies through various means, hoping to quickly overcome the weakness of sunlight and reach his ideal country. Even the reason why he found Tanjiro Kamado's family was because of the rumor that blue spider lilies appeared around Kamado's family.

However, just when Muzan Kibutsuji returned disappointed again and failed to find the blue spider lily around the Kamado family, he met a nearly crazy man.

The Upper One, Kokushibo!

At this time, not long after Kokushibo was defeated by Kocho Shinobu, his entire temperament had undergone a drastic change. Especially the coldness emanating from him, which even reminded Muzan Kibutsuji of the former Yoriichi Tsugikoku.

"Kuroshibo, what are you going to do?"

Looking at Kokushibo who was rumored to have gone mad, Muzan Kibutsuji said with fear.

"Sir, I have a favor to ask of you." Kokushibo said calmly.

"What's up?"

"I would like to ask you to judge who is stronger, me now or Yoriichi Tsugikoku back then!"

After saying that, Kokushibo drew his sword angrily. He was actually trying to follow the example of Tsugikoku Yoriichi and defeat Muzan Kibutsuji in one move.

Chapter 167 Successor State Yan Sheng

In the dim and eerie Infinite Castle, Kokushibo and Kibutsuji Muzan stood opposite each other.

Kokushibo became a demon because of Muzan Kibutsuji's blood. According to common sense, it should be impossible for him to escape Muzan Kibutsuji's control, let alone draw his sword against Muzan Kibutsuji. But now, after being defeated by Shinobu Kocho and experiencing a period of madness, Kokushibo seems to have woken up from a dream, and his whole person has been reborn.

Muzan Kibutsuji saw that Kokushibo's originally black hair had turned gray, and his face was covered with many wrinkles. His original six eyes had also turned into a pair of ordinary scarlet eyes.

He is an evil demon who can change his body shape at will, so why does Kokushibo become so old?

Moreover, why does the aura he exudes now seem so similar to that of Yoriichi Tsugakuni?

Muzan Kibutsuji suddenly realized that he couldn't see through Kokushibo at all. Compared to a few months ago, Kokushibo looked so blurry and full of mist. It was like seeing an ancient well, which seemed to occupy a small area, but was actually unfathomable. This feeling seemed to have only occurred to him when he met Yoriichi Tsugakuni that year.

Seeing that Kokushibo was acting so abnormally, Muzan Kibutsuji opened his mouth and asked a few questions. His relationship with Kokushibo was not bad. Compared with the relationship between the two of them, it should be said that they were allies. After all, they had been together for hundreds of years. Even Muzan Kibutsuji, who was cold-hearted by nature, had developed some feelings for Kokushibo.

However, when Muzan Kibutsuji asked, Kokushibo's answer was beyond his expectations. Kokushibo, whose figure and temperament had changed drastically, actually wanted to use Muzan Kibutsuji as a benchmark to test whether his strength had reached the level of Yoriichi Tsugakuin.

Where does he get his confidence from?

Just as Muzan Kibutsuji was confused, Kokushibo had already launched an attack.

Breathing of the Moon·Type One·Dark Moon·Palace of Night!

After Kokushibo swung his long sword, a beautiful white light flew out.

There is no longer the gorgeous full-moon blade of the Moon Breathing Technique. Now, in the hands of Kokushibo, this sword technique only has the purest sword energy.

It is pure to the extreme, and powerful to the extreme.

Oh no! Seeing the sharp sword energy whistling out, Muzan Muzan immediately activated his own blood demon art to stop Kokushibo's attack. His body became twisted and weird in an instant, and dozens of tentacles stretched out from Muzan Muzan's body. Wherever the tentacles went, time, space and gravity became distorted, and dozens of gullies appeared on the ground of Infinite City in an instant.

But even such a powerful blood demon technique is meaningless in the face of Kokushibo's new sword skills.

Just like a sharp knife cutting tofu, the dozens of tentacles created by Muzan Kibutsuji were easily cut off. Muzan Kibutsuji, who was unable to dodge, was easily beheaded by this move. However, even so, the power of this Moonlight Sword Qi was still undiminished, and it expanded rapidly in the air, and then crashed into the Infinite Castle.

Under the impact of the sword energy, the huge Infinite Castle began to shake violently. With a sound that was almost like destroying the world, in front of Muzan Kibutsuji's surprised eyes, Kokushibo's sword skill actually directly penetrated the entire Infinite Castle. The huge crack directly split the Infinite Castle in two, and the terrible power made Muzan Kibutsuji, who was beheaded, stunned.

The sunlight outside shone through the cracks and shone into the Infinite Castle. Seeing this, Muzan Kibutsuji was immediately trembling with fear.

As an evil spirit who has lived for hundreds of years, beheading Muzan Muzan has little harm to him. In comparison, sunlight can really kill him. So after the Infinite Castle was broken, Muzan Muzan immediately urged his decapitated body, picked up his head, and hurriedly hid in the darkness of the Infinite Castle.

When Kokushibo saw that he had beheaded Muzan Kibutsuji with one sword, a satisfied smile appeared on his old face:

"It only took me one move to defeat you, and it only took me one move to defeat you now."

"Finally, I finally saw your back!"

Then, without caring about Muzan Kibutsuji's surprise, Kokushibo actually leaped up and walked into the sunlight.

Is he crazy?

No, he's really crazy!

Seeing Kokushibo actually walk towards the outside world where the sun is, this gave Muzan Kibutsuji a shock that even exceeded Kokushibo's defeat of himself. Because in Muzan Kibutsuji's view, as a demon, Kokushibo, without eating the blue spider lily, touching the sun is tantamount to self-destruction.

But then, something even more surprising happened to Muzan Kibutsuji.

Instead of being reduced to ashes as imagined, the demon Kokushibo walked into the warm and bright light easily. The sunlight enveloped his gray hair, illuminating the wrinkled lines on Kokushibo's face, making him look not like a scary demon, but just an old man pursuing the way of the sword.

Kokushibo was not harmed by the sunlight. He actually overcame the sunlight's restraint on ghosts after he went crazy. Even through the gap, Kokushibo looked at the bright sun in the sky and said to himself:

"Actually, what I'm really afraid of is not facing the sun, I'm just afraid of facing you!"

After saying that, he walked towards the outside of Infinite City.

Kokushibo's biggest obsession in life is to defeat Tsugikoku Yoriichi, and now he finally sees hope of defeating Tsugikoku Yoriichi. But before that, he still has an opponent he must defeat. A person who, like Tsugikoku Yoriichi, masters the Sun Breathing Technique!

Shinobu Kocho, I hope you won’t let me down!

……

Watching Kokushibo's departing figure, Muzan Kibutsuji opened his mouth wide. But then, the surprise in Muzan Kibutsuji's heart was overshadowed by the hope of defeating the sunlight. He was eager to find Kokushibo and ask him how he defeated the sunlight. But before Kokushibo could speak, another figure walked out of the Infinite Castle.

That person was also a ghost, with short pink hair, golden eyes, pale skin, dark blue tattoos all over his body, and blood-red nails. He wore a purple-red shirt and had prayer beads on his ankles. He looked at Kokushibo who was walking towards the sunlight with a longing look on his face, and exclaimed:

"As expected of Master Tsugikoku Yansheng!"

This person was none other than Akaza, one of the Twelve Demon Moons under Muzan Kibutsuji and the Upper Three.

However, since Douma, who was also Upper Rank Two, was killed by Shinobu Kocho a few years ago, Akaza has already been promoted to Upper Rank Two at this time.

As one of the top three demons among the upper ranks, Akaza's strength is naturally extraordinary. Not only is he one of the few demons who can still survive after being beheaded by the Nichirin Sword, he is also a person who pursues the ultimate martial arts like Kokushibo.

It was also because of the same pursuit that after being defeated by Shinobu Kocho, Kokushibo went to Akaza when he was nearly insane. With the help of months of constant sparring with Akaza, Kokushibo's body underwent such a huge change. Not only did he gain the strength to defeat the demon warrior Muzan with one move, he even defeated the sun's rays.

It was during these months of competition that Akaza's admiration for Kokushibo reached its peak. Although many ghosts said that Kokushibo was crazy, in Akaza's view, Kokushibo, who was madly pursuing the pinnacle of kendo, was the strong man worthy of following in his mind.

Seeing this, Muzan Kibutsuji, who was standing by, immediately asked Akaza how Kokushibo could defeat the sunlight.

Akaza did not hide this and said directly:

"Master Jigoku Yansheng's method of defeating the sun is to face the fear in your heart and practice hard with a strong will."

Face your fears and perform penance?

Then Akaza continued:

"In the past few months, Lord Kokushibo has been practicing hard every day, every hour, and every minute. He doesn't eat, drink, sleep, or rest, and devotes all his energy to the pursuit of swordsmanship. Such painstaking efforts will naturally pay off."

After hearing Akaza's answer, the hope that had been ignited in Muzan's heart gradually died down. Because Akaza's words seemed simple, but in fact he couldn't do it at all. Apart from anything else, as a demon, Muzan couldn't possibly persist in not eating people for several months. Because as time went by, Muzan's desire for flesh and blood was enough to drive him crazy.

This is a desire that comes from the cellular level, an instinct that Muzan Kibutsuji cannot possibly overcome.

Just when Kokushibo defeated the sunlight and began to continue looking for the trace of Kocho Shinobu, Kocho Shinobu was teaching Tanjiro the Sun Breathing Method in the Sagiri Mountain.

After Shinobu Kocho modified the Sun Breathing Technique, it reduced its original overbearing side. Although it will not instantly improve strength like in the original work, the threshold for practice is also much lower. In addition, Tanjiro originally learned the Fire God Kagura passed down from generation to generation in the Kamado family with his father, so Tanjiro's practice of the Sun Breathing Technique was very fast.

After all, the God of Fire Kagura was originally the Sun Breathing Technique that was taught to the ancestors of the Kamado family by Yoriichi Tsugikoku. Tanjiro already had the foundation of the Sun Breathing Technique, so it was natural that he could learn it much faster than the Water Breathing Technique.

But even so, the Sun Breathing Technique is still too overbearing.

Tanjiro had just practiced for half a year at this time, and his physical fitness was still very weak. So while teaching the Sun Breathing Technique, Tanjiro's daily practice was still mainly based on the Water Breathing Technique. Shinobu Kocho required that the daily practice time of the Sun Breathing Technique should not exceed half an hour, mainly just to familiarize herself with the sword skills.
