Chapter 257

After the discussion at the Pillar Meeting that day, everyone had a better understanding of the so-called "Marks". Opening the Marks is an extremely dangerous thing, even if you are trying it.

Regardless of success or failure, it is a process that consumes the body. Just like the initial training of fully concentrated breathing, this requires breaking through the limits of one's body before it becomes possible.

So before the real "Brown" training, the first ones to prepare are Xuanmi and I.

The reason why I need Xuanmi's help is very simple. I need someone who can replace the pistil in terms of power. Otherwise, my power cannot be spread and the blue spider lily cannot release its full power.

However, to take care of so many individuals at the same time, not to mention the hundreds of individuals that will be needed in the final battle, just the current training time, the consumption of the pillars who need to maintain extreme conditions for a long time to try to "mark" is already very high.

Using my strength to replace the consumption of vitality cannot be explained in a few words, nor can it be done by just touching the upper lip to the lower lip.

So, I need another helper, and only Fushigawa Genya has the ability to mimic the appearance I need.

The real pistil is too fragile. In such a long time, she has not been able to grow up properly. Because she was killed by Muzan Muzan in the same body before she could grow up, she should be very weak and die easily in every reincarnation. Especially in the past three hundred years, she has not reincarnated once, and has been wandering around Mr. Komaji.

Being able to create such a spiritual space before was already her limit. I don't want my pistil to waste its life and eventually disappear for other people's affairs, even if they are all good people.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to ask Xuan Mi to die for the pistil. The pistil is so fragile because it has been consumed for too long, but Xuan Mi does not have this prerequisite.

Of course, I will also leave a special mark on Xuan Mi, just in case.

The whole process is very easy to say. I need Xuan Mi to eat a part of my body. I have almost completely become an entity. I am different from the flesh and blood that Xuan Mi was forced to drink during the last crisis. I am basically in the shape of a plant. This way, at least the psychological resistance will be much smaller.

Just like eating vegetables.

What's needed next is some time for Xuanmi and I to increase our synchronization rate and reduce the error in ability conversion to less than one second.

While the two of us were trying various things, others were certainly not idle either.

At the end of the last meeting, I specifically mentioned the matter of the Infinite City. With the presence of Mr. Komaji, everyone in the Demon Slayer Corps has long been aware of the general situation of the Infinite City, but the complex terrain inside and its ability to teleport Muzan Muzan at any time make everyone very vigilant.

Tanjiro, Shigeya, and Giyuu were all people who had witnessed the appearance of the Infinite Castle with their own eyes. If it hadn't been for the vines I had set up in advance, and it suddenly appeared without any warning under their feet, they would have probably fallen down.

Considering that Muzan Kibutsuji Musashi himself has a history of hiding for more than a hundred years and that he cannot be killed without the use of sunlight, the existence of the Infinite City has become a get-out-of-jail-free card for him.

So to kill Muzan Kibutsuji Murei, the first step is to destroy this card of his.

Therefore, the level of attention paid to this issue at that time was no less than that paid to "stripes".

"But the current situation is very passive. As long as Muzan doesn't take out this card himself, we won't be able to find the specific location of the Infinite City." Miss Shinobu was worried. They should have discussed similar issues before I woke up.

I smiled, stretched out an index finger and placed it in front of everyone. A little green sprout grew out of my finger, and in front of everyone it looked like a little man, shaking left and right.

"So cute!" Miss Mitsuri's voice came out in the silent environment. She was obviously trying to suppress her voice deliberately, but she still said it out suddenly.

Instantly, my eyes met hers.

At the same time, the person who had been paying attention to her was Iguro Obane who was sitting next to her.

Miss Mi Li immediately realized that she had said what was in her mind. Her face instantly turned red. She covered her face with her hands and said softly, "I'm sorry."

"But, they are indeed cute young buds." Miss Shinobu added with a smile, easing the embarrassment that Miss Mitsuri felt.

I let the bud wrap around my fingers, and the two tender leaves scratched my skin, like a little person hugging my fingers.

"It's more than just cute. This bud can help us find the location of Infinite City."

My voice, which was definitely considered gentle, was like a bomb dropped into water.

"Young man, are you serious?" Kyojuro's eyes seemed to become brighter, and the hair on his forehead seemed to have real life, moving with his emotions.

Even Mr. Uzumayashiki was visibly surprised.

"How can you find it, sense it?" Muichiro tilted his head and asked directly.

However, Yiyong, who rarely spoke, suddenly interrupted and asked, "Is it the last battle?"

I nodded.

Shimizu thought about the simple conversation between me and Giyuu, "In other words, what did you do when the Infinite City was opened last time?"

"I stayed in the Infinite City and left my seeds." I was still a little proud when I said this, "There is a demon named Mingnu in the Infinite City. She controls the Infinite City for Muzan Muzan. Because of his trust in her, Muzan Muzan does not need to ask too many questions about the Infinite City and can concentrate on doing other things. But this is also a loophole. The seeds I dropped were very small, and I also deliberately suppressed the aura of the seeds to be very low. If Muzan Muzan had not personally taken charge of the Infinite City and looked for it carefully, it would never have been discovered."

Muzan Muzan, who is focusing all his energy on searching for me and Mr. Komaji, would not distract himself to control Naruto and do such a thing himself.

Even if there is an occasional handover, he will not use detailed means to sense it.

The seed has been there for a month, and even when I was unconscious, it has never left my perception.

"Although it's small, it's unexpectedly gorgeous." Uzui Tengen praised me very much after hearing what I said, but is it a bit too much to use the word "small" to describe me?

You're not saying I'm young, are you saying I'm small?

If I compare myself to Mr. Tianyuan, I am indeed much smaller.

Because of this conversation, the premise of being able to actively find the Infinite City was established, so the plan for the Infinite City came into being.

The Mugen Castle has a complex terrain, which is a problem that the Demon Slayer Corps members may have faced originally. There is even a high possibility that a considerable amount of fighting time will be spent in the final battle, so they have to imagine the situation of the Mugen Castle in advance.

This question was answered based on a suggestion from Horiyah. He and his two older and younger sisters, who had a good sense of spatial construction, could draw a map of the Infinite City based on abstract descriptions.

Mr. Komaji has been to and from the Infinite City hundreds of times in the past two hundred years, and he has some understanding of the Infinite City. However, he is still far from being able to fully outline the overall picture of the Infinite City, because most of the time he does not pay attention to the terrain inside, and when he goes to meetings, he is often transported by the Naruto, so he does not need to remember it himself.

If there is any place that Mr. Komaji is most familiar with, it must be the places that Douma liked to go the most in the past, which are places he would definitely avoid.

After roughly drawing a part, Kaoriya and Yushiro discussed that using the latter's blood demon art, they could synchronize the vision of other people - not just humans, but also crows and cats' vision could be shared.

With this ability, it becomes possible to synchronize intelligence and quickly draw maps, but this requires the five siblings to work together and develop a high level of tacit understanding.

In recent days, the five of them and Yushiro have been training their ability to quickly divide the work and draw topographic maps based on synchronized vision.

This is a complicated and tedious task that requires great patience and carefulness. It is also a task that cannot afford any mistakes, so it requires repeated and constant contact.

Everyone is working hard to defeat Muzan Kibutsuji Musume, so I can't slack off.

I was sitting half-naked in the courtyard, my body connected to the soil, my limbs emitting green light, and roots and vines extending from my forearms and calves. My hair was growing wildly in the courtyard. Looking down from above, it looked like a place occupied by plants that had not been inhabited for many years.

I am trying to grow flowers with my branches and vines. Every time a flower blooms, the entire vine that nurtures it and is connected to it will wither, and my strength will be greatly consumed.

Xuan Mi, who was sitting opposite me, was also trying to cultivate his own roots, but his main purpose was not to cultivate them completely, but to connect my finished products with the human physique.

Different people have different physical conditions, so they naturally need to be treated differently when planting the blue spider lily.

I found that Xuanya was more adept at using repelling abilities like the Holy Shield than at mastering healing abilities, so when adjusting the Blue Clover, he could add another layer of Sunshine Repelling Power to my Healing Flower, which could help double the damage of the Demon Slayer Corps members' breathing techniques.

Some team members have personally tested it and found that the more powerful the person, the greater the effect of this mark.

Although the seeds I left in Infinite City can help me locate myself, no one knows if any accidents will happen along the way, so Xuan Mi and I dare not slack off in terms of time. We start working as soon as the sun rises and stop when the sun sets.

I specifically controlled the growth direction of the vines and left a passage in the courtyard for easy entry and exit of people.

Starting with the pillar, Xuanya and I have begun to inject the power of flowers into people's bodies so that they can begin to try to open the "spots" as soon as possible.

As time passed in training and preparation, I could clearly feel my body getting worse. Even with the help of nutrients and the sun, I could feel the disappearance of my life and soul as the large number of flowers and vines grew.

There is a limit to the number of flowers I can bloom. Once I exceed this limit, what is consumed is not only my physical strength, but also my soul.

If the power of my soul is exhausted, I may not die immediately, but maybe - my current consciousness will not come back next time.

My reincarnation will cease and my consciousness will dissipate in this world.
