I became the Lord of the Eternal World in Tokyo.

So Imagawa Yoshimoto closed his mouth, which he had just opened, so as not to disturb him.

Standing in the silent courtyard, Uesugi Tetsuya, who had been pondering for a long time, narrowed his eyes and finally found and matched the frequency of the energy that was extremely similar to that of the energy just now in his memory.

The first wave.

These five words jumped into his mind.

Yes, although the two are very different, there is not even a sound of waves coming from them.

But the feeling this "qi" gives is indeed the same.

The feeling of Qi in the Spirit Control Technique is infallible.

In other words, the Warring States period will soon see its own wave of spiritual energy?

Uesugi Tetsu recalled his experience when the first wave came.

At that time, the long-awaited separation of love was meant to be overcome by the first wave, allowing them to break through to the realm of gods and spirits.

So now, does the suffering of illness, which is also one of the eight sufferings, have the same idea?

he does not know.

But Uesugi Tetsuya was clear on one point: if Bingku wanted to do this, to take advantage of the revival of heaven and earth to go further, then he must not be allowed to have his way.

Regardless of his current rank, he is now powerful enough to have a three-and-a-half-star retinue and gradually bring the entire Mikawa Kingdom under his control.

If we let him make another breakthrough...

Uesugi Tetsu's lips twitched.

Thus, the original plan to sweep through those towns and cities filled with sick and suffering families had already failed before it even began.

Although this resulted in a significant loss of Soul Points and Soul Ash, it was a necessary decision to abandon the plan.

Because he had no choice.

Uesugi Tetsu didn't know what stage his illness was at, let alone whether he was on the verge of a breakthrough.

If Bingsu breaks through to the Ghost God realm through this, even if he perfectly completes the sweep and wipes out all the demons in the city, he will still have no chance against the Ghost God level Basu.

Therefore, the next plan is quite clear—

Before the revival of heaven and earth, one must go directly to the location of the illness and exorcise it.

"Natural Mind-Control Flow is only about a week away from breaking through to the expert level... I wonder how many more days are left before the world is fully restored."

Uesugi Tetsuya tried to activate the Spirit Control Technique, closing his eyes to further feel the tranquil flow of spiritual energy and qi between heaven and earth.

In his careful perception, the concentration of spiritual energy in the world was rising, rising, rising... in a perceptible, minute increment every second.

No, that's not right.

Shortly after.

Uesugi Tetsu opened his eyes with a solemn expression.

It's immediately!

A week?

Where would he find so much time?

If the concentration of spiritual energy continues to rise at this rate, it will probably take less than five or six days before the real tide crashes into the present world of the Warring States period!

Moreover, the rate at which spiritual energy changes cannot remain constant.

Uesugi Tetsuya's mind suddenly changed—

Therefore, it is more reasonable to set the safety limit for the revival of heaven and earth at "three days".

Three days.

This time is really too short.

Even if you guzzle incense ash, it's impossible to gain more than 200 proficiency points in three days.

What if you were to hunt down powerful demons and use those three-star demons to increase your swordsmanship proficiency?

No.

Uesugi Tetsu immediately rejected the idea in his mind.

The uncertainty of this method is too great.

If he encounters a powerful demon like the Grand Master of the Dharma who is beyond his control while slaying demons, then he will have no choice but to use "wrath".

Who knows what will happen during this 48-hour cooldown period?

Moreover, reserving the next "anger" for illness and suffering is the correct and prudent approach.

Within minutes, Uesugi Tetsu made his decision.

— Abandon the plan to sweep away demons, use Yin-Yang magic tonight to locate the source of the illness, and then go straight for the illness first thing tomorrow morning!

In this way, the use of Soul Points becomes a foregone conclusion.

Once Xiao Jia returns, use all your Soul Points to enhance it.

Uesugi Tetsu let out a soft breath and looked at Imagawa Yoshimoto beside him, whose lips unconsciously curled into a smile, believing that the incident in Mikawa Province would end with this detailed information.

After all, Uesugi Tetsu alone was able to subdue Yoshida Castle, a major town in Higashi-Mikawa, without any prior intelligence.

The talismans made by Che can also cure a variety of complex illnesses in a short time.

Now that they have such detailed intelligence, Yuan Xin's army is about to arrive.

With these two approaches combined, resolving the demonic scourge and disease afflictions of the Three Rivers Kingdom will be a piece of cake!

Imagawa Yoshimoto put down the dossier in his hand with a smile.

At this point, Hanzo continued speaking.

"Lord Motoyasu and Lord Okabe have arrived not far from Yoshida Castle. They should be able to enter the castle in an hour or two."

"So good."

Imagawa Yoshimoto nodded happily.

In this way, she and Chejun no longer need to worry about the situation in Yoshida Castle, and the usefulness of this dossier can be put to use immediately!

Good things are happening one after another.

With a smile playing on his lips, Imagawa Yoshimoto turned his head again and saw Uesugi Tetsuya with a solemn expression that seemed about to rain.

strangeness.

Che-jun, why are you making that face?

Hanzo only brings good news, doesn't he?

Imagawa Yoshimoto was somewhat confused.

Come to think of it, he seemed quite surprised when he first saw the case file, but from a certain moment just now he fell into this gloomy state.

Imagawa Yoshimoto's smile faded, and he bowed his head to ask, "Hanzo, is there anything else you need to report?"

Hanzo responded indifferently: "Everything I have seen and thought is already in the dossier."

Imagawa Yoshimoto waved his hand.

"Then let's go down first."

Hanzo nodded and vanished from their sight in the blink of an eye.

A dozen seconds later, he also withdrew from Uesugi Tetsuya's perception circle.

As soon as Uesugi Tetsuya looked up, Imagawa Yoshimoto asked first, "Tetsuya-kun, what happened?"

Uesugi Tetsuya paused for a moment.

Has it been noticed...?

This was only to be expected; standing right next to him, how could Imagawa Yoshimoto not notice the drastic change in his expression?

He rubbed the bridge of his nose and said in a deep voice, "Lord Yiyuan, you can write down the information in this file, but don't worry about it for now."

Imagawa Yoshimoto frowned, not letting things slide, but instead inquiring about the reason.

"Why?"

Uesugi Tetsu made a decapitation gesture in front of his neck: "We must take the head of the demon leader as soon as possible, that sick and miserable one. We must set off tomorrow."

Imagawa Yoshimoto was even more confused.

She pointed to the map, tapped it a few times with her finger, and then drew a circle.

"We have an intelligence advantage over those demons. Wouldn't it be more reliable to advance step by step, gradually take over the towns, and then surround them at the end?"

She paused, looking directly into Uesugi Tetsu's eyes: "Just like you said before you came to Yoshida Castle."

"No, it's different now."

Uesugi Tetsu shook his head and said to the girl, who was born in an era almost devoid of magic, word by word: "Heaven and earth are about to revive."

Imagawa Yoshimoto tilted his head in confusion.

What does it mean for heaven and earth to revive?

Uesugi Tetsuya knew this was a completely new concept for her, so he explained it in the simplest and most understandable language.

"Simply put, from now on, there will be more and stronger Onmyoji, and demons will become active again on the land."

Perhaps in a few decades, the world will become like the Heian period, with supernatural beings and strange phenomena running rampant in the cities.

Yoshimoto Imagawa did not respond.

But the trembling edges of her pupils already showed just how shocked the girl was.

—The Heian period was an era in which Onmyoji (yin-yang masters) were far more powerful than samurai.

Historical records and miscellaneous books state that in that era, humans and ghosts coexisted, and countless legends about this era have been passed down to this day.

—There is the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons in Heian-kyo, the great Onmyōji named Ashiya Dōman who moves mountains and fills seas, and even the Demon King Shuten-dōji who commands all demons in Mt. Ōe and establishes a demon kingdom.

The world is about to undergo a major change.

However, Yoshimoto Imagawa was not confused by this sudden bombshell news.

She took two deep breaths, puffed out her chest, and asked pointedly,

"So, Lord Che, will that great demon named Bingsu also become stronger during this revival of heaven and earth—is that why you are so eager to kill it?"

Uesugi Tetsu nodded.

Talking to Imagawa Yoshimoto is so effortless.

She asked again, "When?"

Uesugi Tetsu replied, "In the next few days."

As soon as he said this, he could see Imagawa Yoshimoto's face stiffen for a moment.

Imagawa Yoshimoto did not doubt Uesugi Tetsu's words, nor was there any need to.

She now understood why Che's complexion had been so bad since earlier.

The head of the Imagawa family paced back and forth for quite a while, taking a full ten minutes to process this long piece of information.

She paused, as if she had thought of something, and suddenly looked at Uesugi Tetsuya: "Since great demons can become stronger, then Tetsuya-kun, you should also become stronger."

"That... is indeed true."

Uesugi Tetsu said with some helplessness, "But I haven't encountered a bottleneck yet, so this revival of heaven and earth won't fundamentally change my strength."

But illness is different; he may have already reached that point.

At this point, Uesugi Tetsu looked earnestly at Imagawa Yoshimoto, whose eyes held a slight hint of regret: "Do you want to gamble, Lord Yoshimoto?"

"I bet that illness and suffering will be with me..."

"No gambling."

Before he could finish speaking, Imagawa Yoshimoto resolutely shook his head.

Uesugi Tetsu smiled.

The expected answer.
