Chapter 68 Kaguya's Treasure
Next to the devastated waterfall, a black spot suddenly expanded into a black hole, and the figure of Yamagami Tetsuya emerged from it.
Yamagami Tetsuya, who already had experience in traveling through black holes, reached down to find a foothold the moment he landed. He had always lost control and fell in the past, and this concerned him greatly.
Yamagami Tetsuya breathed a sigh of relief as he felt the solid feeling under his feet.
Very good! Successfully landed!
Then Yamagami Tetsuya placed his hand on his chest. Sure enough, his body's ability to withstand the fire had increased a lot. After outputting such a fierce flame, his heart did not feel the slightest burden.
It feels good to be able to feel my own progress!
"Hey, you're back!"
Hearing the familiar voice beside him, Yamagami Tetsuya realized that the visitor had been waiting for a long time. He reached into his clothes, took out a red crystal, and threw it over without looking back.
"Is this what you want? Just take it!"
The masked man caught the red crystal and said humbly.
"How can this be so embarrassing?"
Although he said this, the masked man still brought the red crystal closer to confirm and verify it, then put it in his arms without hesitation.
"What a gorgeous color! As expected of a Tsuchigumo core! Here's your reward!"
The masked man took out a finger from his pocket and threw it to Yamagami Tetsuya. Looking at the other party's excited expression, he thought for a moment and decided to speak up and remind him.
"Let me give you a piece of advice. This thing cannot be used casually. If your body cannot handle it, it is best to stop using it immediately!"
Yamagami Tetsuya took Ryomen Sukuna's finger and, ignoring the masked man's warning, stuffed it into his mouth without saying a word.
"Very courageous, mountain!"
Completely ignoring the teasing of the masked man next to him, the moment Ryomen Sukuna swallowed the finger, hot energy flowed through his body, as if trying to burst his blood vessels.
Hmm!
The strong feeling of swelling made Yamagami Tetsuya cry out in pain, and then he supported his hands on the tree and rested his forehead on the trunk.
…
After calming down for a while, Yamagami Tetsuya finally felt that his body had accommodated it.
The masked man looked at Yamagami Tetsuya's actions and shook his head. It seemed that the number of abilities that each person could bear was limited after all. It was already a stretch for Yamagami Tetsuya to obtain three abilities in a row.
The opponent's limit is probably four abilities?
It is just unclear whether the capacity will increase after the opponent digests the ability.
Hmm... another topic that needs experimentation.
On the other side, Yamagami Tetsuya felt the energy surging from his abdomen, carefully sensing his newfound abilities.
"Physical enhancement?"
Tetsuya Yamagami tried to adapt to his new ability, and then he felt the cells in his body constantly absorbing energy, followed by a strong feedback from his body.
Yamagami Tetsuya put his five fingers together and thrust towards the rock next to him. In an instant, his palm pierced through the rock, and flames continued to overflow from the cracks in the rock.
Bang!
The rock could not withstand the energy and pressure inside it, and exploded into pieces that flew into the air.
"Not bad, it can be combined with the other two skills!"
For Tetsuya Yamagami, the biggest help of a stronger body is to improve his output efficiency.
As long as it can be linked, it is a good ability.
"By the way, considering our friendship over the past few days, I will provide you with some extra information for free!"
The masked man leaned against the tree and tapped his arm habitually with his fingers, then talked about the topic that Yamagami Tetsuya was most concerned about.
"I found information that can revive your family!"
Hearing this, Yamagami Tetsuya showed excitement and turned his gaze to the masked man.
The masked man didn't keep anyone in suspense.
"You should have heard of the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, right?"
"Of course!"
Yamagami Tetsuya had certainly heard of the well-known Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, a story about Princess Kaguya from the moon who fell into the human world and was found in a bamboo by an old couple.
The old man raised her carefully and she grew up quickly. Kaguya-hime's beauty spread far and wide, attracting many marriage proposals from noble sons.
However, Princess Kaguya made a condition: she would marry whoever could find the treasure she loved.
These suitors tried hard to find her, but all ended in failure. The emperor coveted Kaguya's beauty and tried to send troops to stop the Celestial Being, but failed. In the end, Kaguya was taken back to the moon by the Celestial Being.
Having just recalled the story of The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, Yamagami Tetsuya instantly realized that the masked man could not have brought up the fictitious story for no reason.
"Could it be?"
"It's just as you thought! The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter is true, and the five treasures mentioned in it also exist!"
"The Buddha's stone bowl, the Penglai jade branch, the fire rat fur, the dragon's head jade, and the swallow's son's shell."
"According to records, these five treasures can help people nearby transform into celestial beings."
Transformed into a celestial being? Wait! What does celestial being mean?
Seeing Yamagami Tetsuya's incredulous look, the masked man provided additional explanation for him.
"Well... to put it in easy-to-understand terms, modern knowledge can explain that these five treasures have a certain radiation ability that can awaken people's extraordinary abilities."
"Of course, what is most important to you is what is hidden in the legend."
"That is, before returning to the moon, Princess Kaguya announced the truth about the five difficulties to everyone. The five treasures were actually a challenge from Princess Kaguya, because these five treasures were carried by Princess Kaguya from the beginning."
"As for the resurrection ability that you care about."
"According to the true legend, Kaguya's adoptive father was accidentally killed in a fight with a celestial being. Kaguya used five treasures to perform a magic called the Art of Reincarnation to revive her adoptive father."
"Before he left, he left the five real treasures to his adoptive father. His adoptive father knew he couldn't protect them, so he sold them at a high price. Later, the legend said that the treasures were snatched by various forces and disappeared."
"The art of reincarnation?"
Yamagami Tetsuya simply ignored the other content and paid attention to the core content of the legend.
"Yes, according to my understanding, this ability should be related to the five treasures. Even if we don't know how to perform the legendary reincarnation technique, the effect of helping to awaken abilities is worth a lot of money. It will be worthwhile to trade it with gods and Buddhas in the future."
Yamagami Tetsuya took a deep breath and instantly understood the next goal.
"I see!"
"Since the legendary treasures ended up on the ground, have you discovered the whereabouts of the five treasures?"
"How should I put it? It seems that this place has some connection with you!"
"In Yamaguchi Prefecture, where Saburo Aoki is from, a number of extraordinary marine creatures have been observed gathering nearby..."
"Dragon Head Jade!"
“That’s right!”
“But why Yamaguchi Prefecture?”
“If you know that Yamaguchi Prefecture and Tottori Prefecture are neighbors, do you still remember the ancient name of Tottori Prefecture?”
Yamagami Tetsuya had a solid grasp of high school knowledge, so he was naturally familiar with this geographical knowledge and instantly showed a look of understanding.
"Izumo Country!"
In Japanese mythology, Izumo Province is believed to be the place where the gods reside, and a large number of gods are associated with it.
Susanoo, Okuninushi, Gotake Thunder God, Inaba's White Rabbit...
If the story of The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter really took place in Izumo Province, a country rich in myths and legends, then the probability of it drifting to Yamaguchi Prefecture, which has a similar geographical location, is indeed very high!
"For so many regions like Neon to meet in this way, it can really be called fate!"
