Nanxing thought silently in his heart.
So far, humans, monsters, and gods.
He had a thorough understanding of the three different methods of cultivation.
The true meaning of power is already in the eyes.
Chapter 42: Immortal Bird, Reborn from the Ashes
Seto Sea.
Standing on the deck of the cabin, Fujiwara no Moko looked at the turbulent ocean below with a puzzled look.
Nanxing told her that if she wanted to become stronger, she should jump off the deck and into the endless sea.
but.
"Is this really okay?"
She turned around and looked at Nanxing with some confusion.
She didn't understand what putting herself between life and death had to do with becoming stronger.
"Of course it does."
Nanxing's face showed a very serious expression.
"Between life and death, there is great terror."
"As long as you can comprehend this kind of terror, your strength will definitely improve, or even undergo a qualitative change."
He said it with certainty.
This is how it’s played out in countless anime and novels.
Put yourself between life and death, and rely on extreme pressure to break through.
And Fujiwara no Mokou did not hesitate.
"it is good."
Although she didn't quite understand the principle behind it, she chose to believe in Nanxing unconditionally.
So, she jumped from the deck and jumped directly into the sea.
……
Fujiwara no Mokou can swim.
During the more than 800 years of wandering, she was forced to learn many survival skills.
Swimming is one of them.
Even though it's just a very inelegant dog paddle, it's better than not being able to do it at all.
However, when she immersed herself in the sea, she suddenly realized.
All the swimming skills she mastered were useless in front of the sea.
The sea water is very cold.
The waves were rough.
The undercurrents hidden in the sea water continued to attack her body, making it difficult for her to control her own movements.
This is the power of nature.
Beyond human power.
"Are you going to die?"
After swimming in the sea for half an hour, Fujiwara no Mokou gradually felt exhausted.
——The sun in the sky baked her, making her consciousness become increasingly blurred.
She suddenly became excited.
She felt that this was probably what Nanxing meant by "between life and death."
It's just a pity.
In this familiar space between life and death, she did not find anything worthy of her fear.
She just felt ordinary.
It's as normal as sleeping when you're sleepy and eating when you're hungry.
"I'm dying."
A feeling of suffocation came over Fujiwara no Mokou's heart.
She knew that her death was approaching.
But what about it?
Anyway, she will be reborn again soon.
"..."
Five minutes later.
Fujiwara no Moko's body was floating on the waves.
It will become food for fish and shrimp and become a part of nature.
And on the deck of the wooden boat.
The new Fujiwara Mohong looked at Nanxing with a confused expression.
“That won’t work.”
She spread her hands to indicate that nothing had happened.
In this situation, Nanxing could only remain silent.
Ok.
He forgot.
The truth that one can become stronger between life and death is true for a fighting race like the Saiyans.
Fujiwara no Momoko is an immortal person from Penglai.
For her, death itself was not something to be feared.
In fact, if someone could give her a true death, she would be grateful to him from the bottom of her heart.
"That's a bit troublesome."
A girl who is no longer afraid of death, but has no ambition at all, chooses to start over when encountering unpleasant things.
——No wonder her strength is still so poor after eight hundred years.
"It seems that I have to give her something ruthless."
Nanxing thought silently in his heart.
He also secretly exchanged a ninjutsu scroll in the system store, which he would never even think about.
[Ding, you purchased the Ninjutsu Scroll: Naraku-Knowing Technique (C-Rank), costing 1000 taels. ]
……
Five minutes later.
Fujiwara no Mokou, who had just been reborn, was kicked into the sea again by Nanxing.
The familiar feeling came over me from all directions again.
blazing sun.
Cold sea water.
A turbulent undercurrent.
Gradually weakening limbs.
"Really."
"It has no effect at all!"
Fujiwara no Mokou, who no longer wanted to exert any more energy, simply chose to lie down.
Let the surging sea water knock you over into the sea.
“Maybe I don’t need to become stronger.”
"Isn't this good? We've been through this for the past eight hundred years, so another eight hundred years won't be a problem."
It turns out that she is not a very ambitious person at all.
"I deserve to live a mediocre life like this."
She laughed at herself.
But it is also true.
She is just an ordinary person and there is nothing worthy of praise about her.
If it weren't for the Penglai medicine, she could have lived a life of luxury like other ladies from noble families, with no one paying attention to her.
only--
"Do you really think so?"
Suddenly, a voice reached Fujiwara no Mokou's ears.
The voice was very cold, and carried a kind of arrogance that was condescending and looked down on others.
Fujiwara no Mokou, who was just floating in the sea, was instantly awakened by the sound.
She suddenly opened her eyes and found that the sun in the sky had turned into the moon without her knowing.
And in the bright night sky, a beautiful girl wearing gorgeous clothes and with long black hair was floating in the air, mocking her with an arrogant attitude.
"How weak you are, the daughter of Prince Chechi."
"Hate me, or I will throw you into this hell."
"At the same time, hate yourself."
"You are so weak that you can only sink forever in this hell."
……
Wooden boat, deck.
Nanxing looked at everything happening in front of him with a serious look.
[Naraku-ken no Jutsu], a C-level illusion, is the most basic of the basics in illusions.
But don't underestimate it just because of its low level.
As an illusion, its function is to reflect the fear in the heart of the person being cast.
Everyone has fear in their heart, no matter how powerful they are.
However, people with strong spirits can overcome this fear and see through this illusion.
Now, here comes the question.
Is Fujiwara no Moko's spirit strong?
This is a very complex issue.
You could say she wasn't mentally strong.
Because she fell into Nanxing's illusion very easily and has not reacted yet, she herself is actually deeply trapped in the illusion.
But at the same time, you have to admit that her spirit is really strong.
because--
"Penglai Mountain Bright Night!"
Her face was distorted and she shouted the name of her enemy through gnashing teeth.
