Chapter 26 The Fate of the Nation 1
Chapter 26 The Fate of the Nation 1
"Yoichi Tsugikuni?"
"Who is this?"
"Is it that impressive?"
I heard Urokodaki Sakon mention this name.
Lin Bei was slightly stunned.
He was simply not very familiar with the plot of Demon Slayer.
In addition, he lived in a daze for many years after transmigrating, until he was killed by Muzan, at which point he regained his memories and was resurrected through the shared space.
So I vaguely remember that there was such a person in Demon Slayer, but I don't know what he does.
Fortunately, Urokodaki Sakonji immediately told Rinbei what kind of person Yoriichi Tsugikuni was.
"Yoichi Tsugikuni!"
"That's a truly remarkable person."
"It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the strongest swordsman."
"He invented the breathing of the sun."
"Almost all of the breathing techniques used by the Demon Slayer Corps today are derived from the Sun Breathing technique he invented."
"Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Yoriichi Tsugikuni is the originator of breathing techniques."
After listening to Urokodaki Sakonji's introduction, Lin Bei nodded slightly.
"I see, that's truly an extraordinary person!"
At this moment, Lin Bei remembered who Yoriichi Tsugikuni was.
That's the strongest swordsman who was born with unparalleled swordsmanship and cleaved the Demon King Muzan into a pulp with a single sword strike.
It's just a pity that the Demon King Muzan was lucky enough to escape.
Despite this, Muzan was so frightened that he dared not show his face again after that.
Muzan only dared to reappear after Yoriichi Tsugikuni's death.
Despite this, Yoriichi Tsugikuni and his Breath of the Sun remained Muzan's nightmare.
Therefore, Muzan has been hunting down Yoriichi's bloodline and the successor of the Breath of the Sun ever since.
The purpose was to completely prevent the reappearance of a powerful figure like Yoriichi Tsugikuni who could kill him.
Thinking of this, Lin Bei turned to look at Tanjiro, who had regained his composure and changed his clothes again.
Tanjiro's full name is Kamado Tanjiro.
His ancestor, Tankichi, had a connection with Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
Therefore, the Breathing of the Sun was taught in the form of Hinokami Kagura.
And it has been passed down from generation to generation from the family of the stove.
Tanjiro eventually rediscovered it.
Actually, after thinking about the storyline involving Yoriichi Tsugikuni...
Lin Bei guessed that Yoriichi Tsugikuni might have foreseen something after Muzan, the Demon King, escaped.
Therefore, he not only taught the Sun Breathing technique to the other members of the Demon Slayer Corps at the time.
While traveling and slaying demons, he taught the Sun Breathing Technique to many people he believed to be talented and fortunate.
They wanted someone to use this to fight against the Demon King Muzan after his death.
However, he overlooked one problem.
Not everyone can be as talented as him.
At that time, no one could really learn his Sun Breathing technique.
Even the powerful Demon Slayer Corps only created the five major breathing techniques by using the Sun Breathing method.
Wind, rock, water, fire, thunder.
Even so, it greatly increased the strength of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Unfortunately, even such a powerful person could not escape the passage of time, and in the end, he even died without a complete corpse.
It's truly heartbreaking.
Moreover, Lin Bei could also faintly sense a hint of fate in this.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni nearly killed Muzan using the Breath of the Sun.
To prevent the emergence of another Yoriichi Tsugikuni, Muzan relentlessly hunted down Yoriichi Tsugikuni's descendants and those who inherited the Breath of the Sun.
But they conveniently forgot about Tanjiro's ancestor.
By a twist of fate, Muzan killed Tanjiro's mother, younger brother, and younger sister, leading Tanjiro to embark on the path of slaying demons with Nezuko.
This led Tanjiro to learn the Breath of the Sun after repeatedly teetering on the brink of death.
They became an important force in the final battle to kill Muzan.
Even Nezuko eventually obtained something that Muzan could never get, even until his death.
He basks in the sunlight as a ghost.
It is like one of the seven sufferings described in Buddhism.
Unable to obtain what one desires.
What Muzan feared and wanted to destroy became the power that killed him because of the evil he himself committed.
What Muzan pursued his whole life was ultimately obtained by the very person he harmed.
Muzan spent his entire life suffering from unfulfilled desires.
Even though he had already thought of all this, he knew that Tanjiro would eventually master the Sun Breathing technique that best suited him.
But Lin Bei still took Tanjiro and Nezuko and followed Urokodaki Sakonji up the mountain.
Because while he knew that Sun Breathing was powerful, he also knew that it was a breathing technique that required extremely high aptitude.
Even if Tanjiro were to learn the Sun Breathing technique immediately, he wouldn't be able to use it given his current strength.
Unless you're overdrawing your life force.
This is something Lin Bei doesn't want to see.
Tanjiro still needs enough time to grow and learn.
Coincidentally, Sakonji Urokodaki and his Water Breathing technique are the most suitable for Tanjiro at this stage.
Sakonji Urokodaki's erudition and rich experience can guide Tanjiro from an unorthodox path to the right one.
Water breathing is the breathing method that puts the least strain on the body and is the gentlest.
This is the best place to lay the foundation for Tanjiro.
Meanwhile, Lin Bei could take advantage of Tanjiro's time learning Water Breathing to continue channeling yang energy into him, accelerating his growth and laying a more solid foundation for him.
He originally intended to place Tanjiro and Nezuko with Urokodaki Sakonji and travel alone.
After all, his path is different from everyone else in this world.
Even without using breathing techniques, he can still gain the power to kill demons by possessing the Yang Furnace.
However, when Lin Bei heard Urokodaki Sakonji say that he was about to reach the threshold of mastering the breathing technique, he decided to give up his travels and stay with Tanjiro by Urokodaki Sakonji's side until he understood the hurdles in mastering it.
After all, although Lin Bei already had the Yang Qi Furnace as an external cheat, no man would complain about having too much power or too many external cheats.
Moreover, the breathing techniques in the Demon Slayer world he lives in are different from those in the anime.
Clearly, the breathing techniques in this Demon Slayer world are stronger and more profound.
It's so mysterious it's almost fantastical.
It's astonishing that Sakonji Urokodaki, who is already old and whose strength has declined considerably, still possesses such formidable power.
With just one Water Breathing Technique, Form 3, you can easily outmaneuver him.
So how powerful are the other stronger breathing techniques and pillars, even the Twelve Demon Moons who are stronger than the pillars, and even the big boss, Demon King Muzan?
At this moment, Lin Bei was truly grateful that it was Tomioka Giyuu, the seemingly cold but actually warm-hearted water column, who came that day.
If you just randomly replaced one of the Demon Slayer Corps members...
Even though Urokodaki Sakonji seemed to have no hostility towards them, at least two of the three of them had already been killed on the spot.
Not to mention he used such disrespectful attack methods.
Looking at it now...
They survived that day entirely because Giyu Tomioka was "cold-hearted despite his cold exterior."
More than an hour later.
Two people, two ghosts, and one living dead.
This strange group finally arrived at Urokodaki Sakonji's residence.
But when Lin Bei saw the house where Urokodaki Sakonji lived, he was dumbfounded.
He blurted it out without hesitation.
"My humble abode!"
