Tianyuan's words

After walking through the long and narrow passage, you will see an orderly array of buildings. The circular building is divided into several floors, and the branches in the middle are like tree branches.

The dust blowing towards us was visible to the naked eye; it seemed that no one had been here for a long time.

The people behind him were still looking around. Zenin Hui walked in front, his eyes fixed on a dark color on the ground.

The dark red marks left by the dragging looked like bloodstains left several years ago. There were many signs of damage inside the Hongxing Palace, but they all seemed to have been left a long time ago.

There was no one else here, and the dim light and dusty corridor seemed eerie.

"Are we in the right place? Is there really anyone living here?"

Yuji asked, and after wiping the pillar next to him, he was shocked by the thick dust.

There was no one in Hongxing Palace, and no one even cleaned it. It looked like an abandoned place, and although few people could find the correct entrance, there was no need to visit.

Lord Tengen, Yuji heard about it from other people.

It is said that the great man knows everything and can do everything. Under the protection of his barrier, cursed spirits and humans maintain a certain balance.

Yuji had never seen such a powerful person. Perhaps powerful people were not seen in the world. The only time he saw Tengen-sama up close was when he was seriously injured and drowsy, and heard the voice of that adult.

At that time, many people agreed that he, as the vessel of Sukuna, should be sentenced to death. When it was handed over to Lord Tengen for trial, someone stood in front of him without wavering.

Thinking of this, Yuji looked up at the back again.

"It's not a cover-up, it's that he shouldn't die." The black-haired young man said this, his tone unquestionable.

Yuji raised his hand and touched his chest, but because of the tattered clothes, he directly touched the cold skin.

As a curse, he was naturally not afraid of the cold, so he thoughtfully changed clothes with Zenin. Although his clothes were stained with blood and looked very shabby, they were enough to cover his body.

The dust was swept up by the furry black tail, making the tip of one's nose itch and wanting to sneeze. So Zenin Kei nudged 005 to calm the complacent guy down a little.

After searching around the outermost part of the Hongxing Palace, they found nothing. So Zenin Kei stood at the highest point and stretched out his hand towards the damaged parts of the buildings.

He doesn't mind digging deep into the ground to find someone.

Perhaps the threat worked, and a completely unfamiliar voice led the two to the right place.

It was a pure white space, or rather a room. A figure in a robe stood in the middle. He had a long head and four eyes.

"The successor to the ten shadow magics and the vessel of Sukuna." The man spoke, seeming to know the two of them very well.

Yuji blinked and asked in confusion, "Master Tianyuan?"

The man in front of him nodded, but looking at his appearance, he could no longer be described as a human. That slightly sinister face was infinitely close to a cursed spirit.

An incredible idea emerged in his mind. Zenin Hui stroked his chin with one hand and was not in a hurry to say why he came.

He was eager to get the script to see if there was anything new or more important on it. But after being annoyed, Lu Ren calmed down again.

Tianyuan seemed to have existed for thousands of years, but there was no doubt that Tianyuan was a person. The approaching person who looked like a cursed spirit must have been an accident.

As if he had guessed the black-haired young man's thoughts, Tian Yuan clasped his hands across his chest and said, "Because the assimilation with the astral plasma body failed, I am evolving towards a higher level. But after Gojo Satoru was sealed, the evolution process can be easily interrupted."

This is the truth, Zenin Hui nodded and motioned for Tianyuan to continue. But the guy who has lived for a long time deliberately kept it a secret.

"Tell me why you're here. In exchange, you can get a part of the truth." Tian Yuan opened his arms. "Your arrival is the key to breaking the impasse. I've seen a whole new world."

"Don't be so mysterious." Zenin Hui interrupted, "We need to know what the thing that occupies Kagome Jie's body is. And what his purpose is."

"That is a cursed spirit called Nose. It can parasitize the host's brain and control the body's own techniques."

"His goal is to make me assimilate with the rest of humanity and complete the evolution of humanity."

Zenin Hui paused, then shook his head: "It's a wild idea, but he does have the advantage now."

The Tengen in front of him had already transformed into a cursed spirit because of the failure of assimilation with the astral plasma. And the technique of Geto Suguru was just able to control the cursed spirit.

Noose has a good hand and he is very stable. These plans have been planned for a long time, and now is the best time to act.

After answering the question, Tian Yuan looked at the two of them meaningfully, and then said: "I can tell you how to unlock the prison gate, but in exchange, one of you must stay in Hongxing Palace to protect me."

"No need." Zenin Hui refused bluntly, "I have already asked for what I want. Unsealing Gojo Satoru is the task of others."

Yuji stared at Tianyuan's face, and after a long silence, he suddenly said, "I'll stay."

Zenin Hui turned his head to look. He was a little confused about Yuji's thoughts, but after staring at each other, he still relaxed: "Whatever you want."

After responding with a hearty smile, Yuji patted his chest and assured: "It's okay, I..."

Yuji suddenly stopped talking in the middle of his words. He subconsciously wanted to promise something, to make an agreement, but looking at those green eyes, he remembered the missed agreement.

Only then did Yuji react as if he had just woken up from a dream, as if it was because of that agreement and that restraint that the person in front of him "cursed" him.

Yuji looked at the person in front of him with mixed feelings.

Seeing Yuji lost in his memories, Zenin Kei did not ask any more questions. He looked at Tengen, who took out a dark block from his sleeve.

"This is the inner part of the Hell Gate." Tian Yuan handed the thing in his hand over. "The Hell Gate is divided into two parts, the outer part and the inner part. If you want to unlock Gojo Satoru, you only need to open one of them."

"The two cursed tools that can open the gates of hell were destroyed by Gojo Satoru, but you can go find an angel magician from thousands of years ago, Kurusu Ka." Tengen continued to resume his nonchalant attitude, "Her magic can destroy all magic."

Knowing only a name and a technique, finding a person is like looking for a needle in a haystack. But this is not what he is worried about. Zenin Kei turned around and said, "Don't tell me these, tell them."

Several other guests arrived at the Hongxing Palace.

Seeing Zenin Kei, Kujuku Yuki was a little surprised. The people behind her looked at each other and subconsciously wanted to help hide the truth.

They did not find Yumenjiang, so they could only place their hopes on the omniscient Lord Tianyuan.

This suggestion was made by Jiujiu Yuki, so they rushed to Hongxing Palace without taking a rest. And they happened to meet the two people who had not left yet.

Itadori greeted him naturally, and seeing this, Yuji Itadori also waved his hand blankly.

Accompanying Kujuku Yuki are the current main force of sorcerers - Otsutsuka Yuta, one of the four special-grade sorcerers, Kujuku Yuki's disciple Toudou Aoi, as well as Itadori Yuji and Fushiguro Megumi.

Most of the other artists were busy dealing with the aftermath of the incident in various places. They just happened to meet each other, and for the sake of their close friend, Toudou Aoi took the initiative to ask for help from Kyujuku Yuki.

Looking at the few people, Zenin Hui took the initiative to throw the things in his hand out. Then he turned around and walked out without explaining.

This time, no one stopped him. The two powerful Yuki Kujuku and Gojo Satoru suggested that Zenin Kei be their temporary ally.

Yuji Itadori was hesitant to speak, and only felt relieved when he saw the cursed spirit with long pink hair following him.

Fushiguro Megumi was a little concerned about whether the torn clothes had not been replaced, otherwise why did it end up on Yuji.

Looking at Yuji who followed him out on his own initiative, Zenin Kei turned his head away and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to stay?"

"Let me take you out of Hongxing Palace. After all, we agreed to stay only in Hongxing Palace." Yuji explained.

The two of them returned to their silent state, and when they reached the gate of Hongxing Palace, Yuji stopped on his own initiative.

"Um..." Yuji hesitated a little, but the person in front of him nodded, motioning him to continue.

"I believe in Zenin, so no matter what I do, I'll do it according to your ideas." Yuji let out a breath, "I also want to help a little, if Zenin trusts me."

She couldn't bear to refuse the trusting look on the face of the person in front of her, so Zenin Kei turned her head away.

"He is the only one who can possibly understand you, just like you. So even if you have a plan, you still have to hide it from Yuji." 005 spoke earnestly and began his assist, "Yuji trusts you so much, are you going to let him down?"

Shika-nin didn't answer, but he did start to stir.

Seeing this, 005 added fuel to the fire: "Even a guy like Xiaosuo would look for companions, are you going to fight alone?"

After closing his eyes briefly, Zenin Kei sighed, frowning, as if he was somewhat helpless: "When did you notice it?"

"Not long ago."

After reaching out to pick up the thing in the shadow, Zenin Kei threw it over with one hand.

The dark cloth bag was not big, and inside it was Sukuna's fingers.

This was originally a trump card. Although no one knew the specific reason why Nososo collected Sukuna's fingers, at least he had some initiative.

More importantly, these fingers cannot be eaten by Yuji Itadori no matter what.

Although Yuji Itadori is the host of Sukuna and can suppress Sukuna, no one can be sure whether Yuji Itadori can still suppress Sukuna after eating so many fingers.

After a little thought, the best arrangement appeared before him. As a cursed spirit, Yuji naturally did not have to worry about being seized by Sukuna.

The best ending is that Sukuna appears inside Yuji's body and eliminates both of them together.

This idea briefly came to mind, but was quickly ignored by the deer ninja. However, he kept the Sukuna finger, and subconsciously listed this plan as an alternative plan.

And Yuji didn't know when he noticed that he was holding Sukuna's finger, and his straightforward thinking actually allowed him to think of this.

"Don't mess around." Zenin Hui was still worried and said, "Wait for me to come back."

Yuji just smiled and didn't give a clear answer: "I will keep it safe."

After staring at the person in front of him for a long time and seeing that he had no special reaction, Zenin Hui turned around and left. The black jade dog stared silently, and waited until the master walked a distance away before following him, turning back every few steps.

As the distance between the two of them grew, Yuji seemed to be relieved. Not long after, he heard footsteps behind him.

"He really trusts you." Nosuo walked out from the darkness, "I followed him for so long and he didn't notice. Is it because you were there?"

With Chanin Hui's cautious character, it is impossible that he didn't notice it at all. This can only prove that he was very confident in the face of this special curse.

The smile on his face faded, and Yuji stroked the cloth bag in his hand, his voice getting colder: "You are not qualified to evaluate him."

"Haha." Nosuo chuckled.

The person who told Yuji and Sukuna that Sukuna's fingers were in Zenin Kei's hands was Noseso, and the speculation that Yuji became Sukuna's body was also made by him after thinking about it and then telling him.

Even though he became a cursed spirit, Yuji's thoughts were still straightforward. He relied on his own judgment to confirm this guess, and at the same time, he was ready to sacrifice himself without hesitation.

The one who died was just a special-grade cursed spirit, not the high school student Yuji Itadori.

"You are so confident. Aren't you afraid that I will plot against you?" Qisuo said thoughtfully, "Has anyone ever told you that you are actually quite stupid?"

The dark cloth bag was opened, and the cursed spirit with long pink hair lowered its head and swallowed several wrinkled fingers into its stomach one mouthful at a time.

Uncontrollable fluctuations of cursed energy dissipated, and just before these unusual fluctuations of cursed energy spread out of Hongxing Palace, a tent was set up in time.

Li Mei showed up at the right time, holding a familiar low-level cursed spirit respectfully.

Yuji looked up at the dark passage and suddenly smiled: "Don't underestimate Hui, he is the strongest."

Zenin Kei, the holder of the Ten Kage Technique, is undoubtedly the strongest existence. Yuji knew this a long time ago.

So even if the sword goes astray, he still trusts Zenin Kei enough.

The chest slowly felt the pain, but before the huge gap could heal, the sharp tip of the knife pierced through again.

The special grade cursed weapon Tensakuhoko has the ability to render all spells ineffective. Under its influence, wounds will not heal, even if they are cursed.

The noose withdrew his hand, looked at the body with eyes blurred and fell, and whispered: "What a pity, all we need is this body. As for your soul, let it live forever."

The sky outside cannot be seen from Hongxing Palace. Before his consciousness completely dissipated, Yuji felt a little regretful that he couldn't say goodbye properly.

But if I had said a few more words, the Zen temple is so smart that it would definitely have noticed it.

My vision became increasingly blurry, but everything that happened in the past emerged clearly in my mind.
