Bleach: Getting Stronger Starting from Teaching at the Spiritual Arts Academy

Chapter 227 Hellfire Pyrod

It is obvious that the sealing techniques in the depths of the Abyss are connected to the sealing techniques in Hell.

When the sealing techniques in Hell absorb Hell Spirit Particles, Hell Spirit Particles will overflow here.

Furthermore, in July, he saw the hellish spirit particles being cleansed of their hellish aura and transformed into blue spirit particles.

These blue spiritual particles gathered on the base of the sealing spell and were then stored in the dense network of spiritual particles.

The walls of this space are covered with these spiritual veins.

“The spiritual particles containing the aura of hell have been transformed into ordinary spiritual particles here…” July’s eyes narrowed.

Saito, who was talking to his grandmother while holding a large conch shell, was also shocked by the massive amount of spiritual particles contained in the spiritual particle meridian.

"If we use the spiritual energy gathered here to unleash the Kido Cannon, it could probably destroy the entire Seireitei!" Saito Immortal exclaimed.

The 'Kido Cannon' mentioned by Saito the Immortal is a large-scale divinely bestowed weapon of the Kido sect, which can only be used by many Shinigami who are proficient in Kido.

“If I’m not mistaken, the sealing formula on the other side of Hell is connected to this side, and these spiritual particles should be used to maintain the sealing formula,” July said.

The sealing technique on the other side of hell decomposes everything that is sucked into the vortex into spiritual particles. These spiritual particles, which contain the aura of hell, are transmitted here, where the aura of hell is removed and they are transformed into ordinary spiritual particles, which are then stored in the spiritual particle network.

Any spiritual energy technique that is to be maintained in the long term requires spiritual energy for sustaining it.

The sealing technique relies on the spiritual particles stored in the spiritual particle network to maintain its operation.

"The expelled hellish aura has gathered together and become a bead." July saw a black and red bead on the base platform under the sealing spell's light.

The pure hellish aura extracted from the spirit particles coalesced into hellish phosphorus, which was absorbed by the black and red beads.

Hellfire phosphorescence is the product of highly concentrated hellish energy gathered together, and it is visible to the naked eye.

You can also see floating hellfire when a soul burial ceremony is held or when the gates of hell are opened.

Hell pyrokinetic energy has a strong adsorption effect on spiritual particles. When hell pyrokinetic energy comes into contact with spiritual particles in the atmosphere, it easily transforms into spiritual particles containing the aura of hell. Therefore, hell pyrokinetic energy is difficult to exist for long in the three realms.

The hellish phosphorescence in this space not only persisted for a long time, but even condensed into a bead.

This is because the spiritual particles spreading in the air within this space are all spiritual particles containing the aura of hell, while ordinary spiritual particles are all absorbed into the spiritual particle meridians by the sealing technique base.

If we don't count the spiritual particles stored in the spiritual particle network, once the sealing technique transforms all the hellish spiritual particles into ordinary spiritual particles, this place is actually a spiritual particle vacuum.

The sealing technique base has an extremely strong ability to absorb spiritual particles. Even the trace spiritual particles that July and Saito naturally exhale with their breath, which are immortal, were absorbed by the sealing technique base.

Saito Hoshiko's voice came from inside the giant conch shell: "A bead formed from the condensation of hell pyrokinetic energy? I didn't expect you to see something like this in Soul Society. Such things are very rare even in Hell... In Hell, it is generally called a Hell Pyrokinetic Bead. Even in Hell, it can only be found in the places where the hellish aura is most concentrated. If a Hell Pyrokinetic Bead appears in Hell, it will probably attract many evil people from Hell to fight over it."

July asked curiously, "The Hellfire Powder Pearl is so sought after? What is its purpose?"

Saito Hoshiko explained, "Those who fall into hell will not die completely until their consciousness is assimilated by hell."

"Even if the spirit is destroyed, there is a chance of rebirth."

"The key to this is hellfire pyrotechnics."

"If a spirit is destroyed, the hellfire will gather the spirit particles and repair the spirit. However, the small amount of hellfire floating in the hellfire atmosphere is not enough for the spirit to repair quickly, and the process will be quite long."

"But it's different if you have Hell Pyro Pearls. The high concentration of Hell Pyro contained within them can repair damaged spirits almost instantly."

July understood: for those in hell, the Hellfire Powder is like a resurrection coin.

He recalled that after Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni defeated Shigemitsu Nobukatsu, who had returned from hell, Shigemitsu Nobukatsu had said that even if he were killed by Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, he would not perish, but would simply return to hell.

It seems that after the consciousness and spirit of the Executioner Nobukatsu return to Hell, the Hell Rinki will slowly repair his spirit body.

July continued, "Then the Hellfire Pearl has no effect on spirits in the Three Realms?"

Saito Hoshiko said, "It's not entirely useless; hell pyrotechnics have an extremely strong adsorption effect on spiritual particles."

"It's one thing if a little bit of hellfire fumes drifts out of hell when a soul burial ceremony is held or when the gates of hell open."

"Hellfire Pyrobe is something formed by a high concentration of hellfire pyrotechnic energy. If the hellfire pyrotechnic energy contained within it is released, a large amount of hellfire pyrotechnic energy can even draw out the spiritual particles from a spirit, causing considerable damage to the spirit."

"You can use it as a trump card."

"Sounds pretty good... Using the strong adsorption property of hellfire pyrokinetic energy on ordinary spiritual particles, it can absorb the spiritual particles in a spirit. If there is enough hellfire pyrokinetic energy, it can even cause the spirit to collapse." July stroked her chin. "But how do I take this hellfire pyrokinetic bead? If I come into contact with the hellfire pyrokinetic bead, won't my spiritual particles also be absorbed?"

"Do you have a Killing Stone?" Saito Hoshiko asked. "A Killing Stone can isolate spiritual particles. If you use a container made from a Killing Stone to hold the Hell Rin Bead, it will naturally prevent the Hell Rin from absorbing the spiritual particles."

There was a vein of killing intent stones in July, and he had stored a lot of killing intent stones before. He took out a killing intent stone.

The Killing Stone has the property of isolating spiritual particles, but its hardness is not very high. After a while, he used tools to make a small square box.

In July, the Hellfire Powder was stored in a small square box.

This trip not only uncovered some secrets of the Soul Society and Hell, but also yielded a Hell Rin Bead, which July was quite pleased with.

This Hellfire Pyrobe has been absorbing the hellish aura decomposed from the sealing technique in the Abyss for many years, and contains an extremely high concentration of hellfire pyrobe energy. If the hellfire pyrobe energy inside were released, even a captain-level powerhouse would probably not be able to withstand it.

The sealing technique here is too complex. July cannot break it using his knowledge of the Ghost Path for the time being. Even if he could break it by force, he would not dare to easily remove it.

His intuition told him that forcibly breaking the seal would have serious consequences.

The object sealed by this sealing technique that operates across two worlds must be extraordinary. July guessed that the eyeball was very likely a relic left behind by the Lord of Hell who was defeated by the Spirit King.

The Soul King has now become the wedge that maintains the stability of the three realms: the Human World, Soul Society, and Hueco Mundo. If breaking the seal leads to the premature resurgence of the Lord of Hell, the three realms may not be able to cope with such a crisis.

Chapter 228 Information

July confirmed with Saito Hoshiko that it was impossible to reach Avici through the vortex in the Eye of Hell.

Because whether it is a spirit or an object composed of spirit particles, it will be decomposed into spirit particles after approaching the sealing spell inside the vortex.

Saito Hoshiko had no choice but to temporarily abandon her idea of ​​going to Soul Society through the Eye of Hell.

After Saito Hoshiko made contact with Saito Immortal, she really wanted to go to Soul Society.

She didn't want to go to Soul Society for her own sake.

When Saito Hoshiko heard that Saito's immortality was due to his feud with the Tsunayashiro family, which led to his imprisonment in the Soul Society, she decided to go to Soul Society to eliminate the Tsunayashiro family.

As long as the Tsuna-yayo family is not eliminated, Saito, who is immortal, will never be released from the Abyss.

However, since she cannot reach Soul Society through the vortex in the Eye of Hell right now, Saito Hoshiko has to find another way.

In July, to thank Saito Hoshiko for the information she provided, he obtained a Hellfire Powder.

Taking advantage of the hellish spiritual energy here, he created another 'Sound of Hell' and gave it to Saito, who was immortal, to help her pass the time.

Last time I went to Hueco Mundo, I collected a lot of shells that met the requirements. There are also Hell Spirits here, so there is no shortage of materials and conditions to make the 'Sound of Hell'.

After creating 'The Sound of Hell', July took Saito, who was immortal, and left the small space deep within the Abyss.

"Based on what we know so far, the thing sealed by this sealing technique is very likely related to that Lord of Hell. I need to go to the 'Great Spiritual Book Corridor' to check the information," July said.

In July, I don't plan to break the sealing spell, but I also want to find an opportunity to go to the 'Great Spirit Book Corridor' to look up some information.

The Great Spirit Book Corridor records the history of Soul Society, including some important events.

Perhaps we can find records of this sealing technique in the 'Great Spiritual Book Corridor'.

“You can try to visit the Saito family’s library first,” Saito Immortal suggested. “The Saito family has produced several Shinigami whose Zanpakuto abilities are related to Hell. For example, my grandmother’s Zanpakuto can use a mist called ‘Breath of the Underworld.’ This ‘Breath of the Underworld,’ which is formed from the waters of the Underworld, also exists in Hell. Therefore, we know more about Hell than others.”

"Grandma Saito's Zanpakuto can also release 'Breath of the Underworld'...?" July was slightly taken aback. "That's quite a coincidence. One of my recently accepted disciples can also release 'Breath of the Underworld' with her Zanpakuto. The reason I suddenly contacted Grandma Saito this time is because my disciple's release of 'Breath of the Underworld' triggered 'Sound of Hell'."

“There are also juniors with similar abilities to Grandma…” Saito’s immortal fingers twirled the end of her right ponytail. “If she can break through to the captain level, she will be very powerful after she dies and goes to hell. In hell, she will be blessed with a high concentration of hellish spiritual energy, and the breath of the underworld she releases will turn into real water from the underworld, which will have a corrosive effect on people’s hearts that will be several times stronger.”

"That's a long way off... Ge Kuang is still very young, she's still studying at the Spirit Arts Academy." July scratched her face. Ge Kuang's growth period is still a long way off. Even if she can successfully break through to the captain level, it will be at least a hundred years from now.

After chatting for a while, July left Wujian.

...

A few weeks later.

When I arrived at the lab in July, I saw Aizen Sousuke busy at work.

There are many spirit remains in the laboratory. These spirit remains need to be prepared with spirit growth agents to maintain their growth. He and Hoshino Rie need to take turns to look after them.

In addition to the Shinigami Remains that were moved back from Tetsuya Miyamoto's laboratory, the Void Remains that were being cultivated before are still being cultivated.

"Sousuke, how are these spirit remains developing?" July asked, observing the spiritual development of the spirit remains in the corridor.

“Miyamoto Tetsuya’s spirit growth agent is indeed very effective. Three of his spirit bodies have already developed into teenagers, and their spiritual pressure levels have reached the standard for entering the Spirit Arts Academy.” Aizen Sosuke paused and continued, “If you want to conduct Hollowfication experiments, I still recommend that you cultivate them until their spiritual pressure reaches the standard of a Shinigami. Right now, they are still too weak and cannot withstand the erosion of Hollow particles.”

“I think so too, let’s continue training him.” July nodded and continued, “Do you remember what we talked about last time about Lord Spirit King? Did you go to Isshin’s house to look up any related information afterward?”

Last July, I intentionally mentioned the Soul King to Aizen Sousuke, which was to encourage him to go to the Shiba family to look up information so that he could learn more about the truth.

Because in July, I plan to study the fragments of the Spirit King.

July believed that, without the Hogyoku, ordinary Shinigami spirits and remains did not possess the ability to bear Hollow power.

He wanted to add the Soul King fragment as a variable to his research on Hollowfication of Shinigami or Shinigami Hollowfication.

Aizen Sousuke's research abilities are beyond question, and he can provide tremendous help to July's research.

Therefore, it is time for Aizen Sousuke to learn more about the Soul King.

The Shiba family certainly wouldn't allow Aizen Sousuke to freely access secrets related to the Soul King, but Aizen Sousuke's Kyoka Suigetsu ability was enough for him to come and go freely within the Shiba family compound.

“I’ve been there.” Aizen Sousuke’s expression was complicated. “I never expected that the Spirit King standing tall in the heavens would be the so-called ‘Contract of the Three Realms’.”

The information Aizen Sousuke gleaned from the Shiba family deeply shocked him, to the point that it reshaped his worldview.

According to information provided by both the Spirit Arts Academy and the Gotei 13 of the Shinigami, the Soul King is the ruler of the three realms.

The Spirit King created the Three Realms and maintained their operation.

But what Aizen Sousuke never expected was—

The way the Spirit King maintained the operation of the Three Realms was by becoming the so-called 'Contract of the Three Realms'.

"Teacher, do you think that the Spirit King, who has become an object, still has its own thoughts?" Aizen Sousuke asked.

“Yes,” July said with certainty. “Moreover, even our current communication might have been known to Lord Spirit King, and Squad Zero might even have received a decree from Lord Spirit King.”

"Squad Zero? That royal special forces squad..." Aizen Sousuke's heart skipped a beat, and he said cautiously, "Then, are we being inappropriate by discussing Lord Soul King right now...?"

“You don’t need to worry about that. Even if you criticize Lord Spirit King now, nothing will happen.” Seeing Aizen Sousuke’s cautious demeanor, July couldn’t help but find it somewhat amusing. “Lord Spirit King becoming the ‘Contract of the Three Realms’ is a foregone conclusion, and it is also His will.”

"So becoming the 'Contract of the Three Realms' was actually Lord Spirit King's personal will..." Aizen Sousuke pondered. "But then again, how could Lord Spirit King possibly be defeated by the Five Great Nobles?"

Chapter 229 The Foundation of the Three Realms

The Soul King's current state completely shattered Aizen Sousuke's understanding of this world.

This is quite different from what he saw in the textbooks at the Academy of Spiritual Arts.

The Spirit King, who created the three realms, possesses supreme power. Whether it's the Gotei 13 or the Forty-Six Chambers, these frameworks are all built upon the foundation of the Spirit King's rule over the three realms.

A hint of doubt about the Soul Society's system arose in Aizen Sousuke's mind.

Having become the 'Contract of the Three Realms', does the Spirit King still have the right to rule the Three Realms?

Aizen Sousuke was cautious by nature, and after realizing that the Soul King might find out about their conversation, he suppressed his thoughts.

"Sousuke, let's put aside what we're doing for now and go to the Shiba family's library," July said with a smile.

After returning from the Abyss in July, he sneaked into the 'Great Spirit Book Corridor' to look up information about the sealing techniques within the Abyss.

The Great Spirit Book Corridor records the history of Soul Society, including some important events.

However, this sealing technique may have existed before the Spirit King created the Three Realms, as there are no detailed records of it in the Great Spirit Book Corridor.

Therefore, in July, I thought of the five noble families that existed before the Spirit King created the Three Realms.

Back then, the Soul King used his omnipotent power as a wedge to separate the chaotic world into the Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and the Human World.

The five ancestors of the five noble families were also participants and witnesses in this process.

The Shiba clan is one of the five great noble families, with a long and distinguished history. Their library may contain records related to sealing techniques.

"Is the teacher going to Zhibo's house?"

"Yes, I want to look at some older documents, but I've never been to the Shiba family home before, so it'll be a bit of a hassle to find them. You know the way, so why don't you take me to the Shiba family's library?"

“No problem, I’m already very familiar with the Shiba family’s library.”

Although Shiba Isshin is July's disciple, he is still young and has not yet taken charge. He also does not have the authority to take people to see materials that are not open to the public.

Therefore, in July, he wanted Aizen Sousuke, who had been to the Shiba family's library, to take him there, thus saving him the trouble of finding the library.
