Naruto in Infinity

In the three days after Xia Li obtained the semi-finished Collapsing Jade.

Nothing unexpected happened. Xia Li thought that Urahara Kisuke might come to him to ask for the Collapsing Jade, but in fact, it didn't happen.

In these three days, Ming Jing Shishui also completed the initial process of transforming from one to an 'ordinary' soul to a virtual one.

At this moment, Ming Jing Shishui has changed her original pure white palace dress and changed into a black dress, which is mixed with a trace of blood.

And her originally calm and pretty face looks a bit weird after completing the initial transformation, and her blood-red eyes seem to be flashing a little light.

The most important thing is that some bone ornaments appear on various parts of Ming Jing Shishui's body, the bracelet attached to the wrist, and the bone necklace can also be seen from the less exposed clavicle.

And, Ming Jing Shishui wears a pure white bone mask diagonally on his forehead.

Xia Li was also a little surprised when he saw Ming Jing Shi Shui's outfit. The other party changed from the cold and aloof when they first met to the current enchanting one. This change... is still very big.

"Are you surprised? Master Sword Master, this is the result you have always wanted~" Ming Jing Shi Shui's tone also had a hint of teasing.

"Well, it's okay." Xia Li nodded and looked at the bone mask on Ming Jing Shi Shui's forehead. After Ming Jing Shi Shui's initial transformation into a hollow, he did not really wear that mask, but a "Hanpan" like the Masked Army?

This should be the result of Xia Li's insistence on not letting Ming Jing Shi Shui transform into a hollow in a desperate way.

This also saves the process of cultivating from a hollow to an Arranpan, and in this process, Ming Jing Shi Shui is probably not very obedient, for example, Xia Li probably can't use his Bankai.

Now that the Arranpan has been completed directly, there will be no such disadvantage without going through the normal hollowing part.

Xia Li was also relieved. Even so, Ming Jing Shi Shui's transformation was still very big. If Xia Li had been too bothered to use despair as bait to make Ming Jing Shi Shui directly degenerate into a hollow.

The result is imaginable. Ming Jing Shi Shui will become an extremely vicious Hollow. The opponent's soul has been washed by Xia Li's spiritual pressure until now, and its strength is probably not inferior to Stark.

Of course, Xia Li also has the confidence to subdue such Ming Jing Shi Shui, but will Ming Jing Shi Shui at that time still listen to his ideas like before without any complaints or willingness to disobey?

And now, Xia Li can feel that Ming Jing Shi Shui's personality seems to have changed a lot, but her essence has not changed.

The other party still recognizes that he is the only sword master.

Ming Jing Shi Shui looked at Xia Li at this time and showed a smile, which looked a little evil. She was also a little worried that her sword master would not accept her after her transformation.

But now it seems that he is worthy of being her sword master.

Mingjing Shisui narrowed her eyes and stared at Xia Li. She knew that she had changed, but she could not remain unchanged even if she did not want to change.

This was the inevitable price she had to pay to complete the Hollowization. Now this change was already good.

"Okay, let's talk about the change." Xia Li avoided Mingjing Shisui's burning gaze and asked.

"In terms of power, there is actually not much change now, but in terms of the essence of power, there is more Hollow power, which can probably restrain those Quincy." Mingjing Shisui frowned and said.

"Is that so?" Xia Li frowned.

"However, in fact, I can continue to become stronger now, but I need a lot of spiritual power." Mingjing Shisui said.

"Isn't my spiritual power enough for you now?" Xia Li was a little surprised. His current spiritual power is second in the world, and no one dares to claim to be first, not even Aizen Sosuke.

Ming Jing Zhi Shui shook his head and said, "Master Sword Master, I felt it when I used the power of the Collapse Jade to transform. This time, the transformation may depend on how much spiritual power I absorb. In fact, I can start the transformation process now."

"But if I do this, my strength may not increase much, and I can't be of much help to Master Sword Master." Ming Jing Zhi Shui said so.

"Is that so?" Xia Li nodded to show that he understood.

In this case, Xia Li will definitely choose to let Ming Jing Zhi Shui absorb the spiritual power to the limit before transforming.

"You start to absorb my spiritual power and try it." Xia Li said after thinking about it.

"Okay, Master Sword Master." Ming Jing Zhi Shui nodded, and then a terrifying suction force came from Ming Jing Zhi Shui's sword body, constantly absorbing Xia Li's spiritual power.

The speed of this absorption is like pulling out the leaking lid directly in a bathtub full of water.

This is also because Xia Li has enough spiritual power. The spiritual power of a normal death god cannot satisfy a bathtub and is estimated to be drained in an instant.

"Stop it." Xia Li called for a halt.

After all, this is the real world. Even if Karakura Town is a spiritual town, the concentration of spiritual energy cannot be too high. The speed at which he absorbs spiritual energy from the air is completely inferior to the speed at which Ming Jing Shisui absorbs his spiritual energy.

So Xia Li decided not to feed Ming Jing Shisui spiritual energy for the time being.

Ming Jing Shisui also stopped after hearing this.

"It seems that it is time to find a suitable place to retreat." Xia Li said. The Soul Society is not an option. If he absorbs spiritual energy so wantonly, he will definitely be discovered.

If Xia Li was just absorbing spiritual power, it would be fine. The key is that he was absorbing spiritual power to cultivate the Great Hollow. Once he was discovered, there was basically no need to quibble, and he would inevitably become the enemy of the Gotei 13.

However, Xia Li thought of some people with whom he had good relations in the Gotei 13, and he didn't want to go to this point.

Therefore, the location of the retreat can actually be determined, and then we have to consider how to reasonably disappear for a very long time.

Xia Li thought about it, and if he shook his head, it would be a bit troublesome.

At this moment, Xia Li took the blue-black Collapse Jade in his palm. In fact, Mingjing Shisui did not use it for three days, but only a little more than two days.

However, Xia Li could feel that the power in the Collapse Jade seemed to be much less.

Is the power of the Collapse Jade just like this?

Xia Li was a little confused. Although the Collapse Jade was still absorbing the spiritual power in the air to restore its own strength, but...

Xia Li still felt something was wrong. Urahara Kisuke used the Collapse Jade to help so many people in the Masked Army complete the process from Death God to Hollow.

However, looking at the current posture of the Hougyoku, it does not have the ability to help Meikyo Shisui to become hollow for the second time.

Are the Masked Army and Meikyo Shisui so different?

However, it was actually Xia Li who misunderstood the Hougyoku. It was not that the power of the Hougyoku was weaker than before, nor was Meikyo Shisui more difficult to transform than the Masked Army.

In fact, even if there were a few more Zanpakutōs like Meikyo Shisui, the Hougyoku could successfully turn them into hollows.

The real gap was because of Xia Li himself.

He had too few memories of the God of Death, which led to him not remembering the true function of the Hougyoku.

Its ability was not simply to break the boundary between the God of Death and the Hollow, but a mechanism similar to a wishing machine.

The reason why Urahara Kisuke thought that the ability of the Hougyoku was to break the boundary between the God of Death and the Hollow was because Urahara Kisuke hoped that the Hougyoku could break the boundary between the God of Death and the Hollow. In fact, the Hougyoku only fulfilled Urahara Kisuke's wish.

The real power of the Hougyoku is to develop people's inner wishes according to what they want in their hearts. Of course, the condition for materialization is to have the strength to realize this wish.

In other words, the wishes fulfilled by the Hogyoku are limited to the person who made the wish and has the ability to realize the wish, even if the probability of realization is extremely small. But once the probability is 0, the Hogyoku cannot fulfill the wish.

For example, if there is an item similar to the Hogyoku in Naruto, then if the Uchiha clan gets the Hogyoku, they can directly complete the opening of the Sharingan or even the Mangekyō with the help of the Hogyoku according to their wishes, because they already have the potential to open their eyes.

But if someone without the blood of the Uchiha clan gets the Hogyoku and hopes to open the Sharingan, then no matter how much he wishes and hopes, the Hogyoku will not be able to fulfill this wish. (PS: In theory, is it possible for the descendants of Otsutsuki to open their eyes? For example, Uzumaki Senju?)

So, the Hogyoku is in Xia Li's hands, and it naturally feels Xia Li's thoughts.

And Xia Li's thoughts have always been pure, that is, to become stronger.

Is it possible for Xia Li to become stronger? Of course it is impossible, even without the help of the Hogyoku, Xia Li can become stronger.

The problem is that this piece of half-finished Collapsing Jade has no ability to realize Xia Li's idea.

However, Collapsing Jade has no ability to directly enhance Xia Li, but it can indirectly enhance him, that is, Mingjing Shisui.

Mingjing Shisui is Xia Li's weapon, so Mingjing Shisui's strength is equivalent to Xia Li's strength becoming stronger.

Mingjing Shisui's idea is just to virtualize, so after Mingjing Shisui completes the virtualization, there should be no other changes, but because of Xia Li's idea, Mingjing Shisui has an additional path of transformation.

Of course, this is also because Mingjing Shisui originally had this possibility, so this path of transformation can be opened.

Therefore, Xia Li did misunderstand Collapsing Jade, and its ability is not weak.

Unfortunately, Xia Li, who does not know the true ability of Collapsing Jade, cannot figure this out.

Soon, Xia Li was too lazy to think about it. He is not a person who studies Collapsing Jade, and he can't figure out what its operating principle is. If Urahara Kisuke knows, he may be able to see it.

Xia Li looked at the sky and it was not too early, so he did not bother Urahara Kisuke so late.

After all, he said it could take three to five days for the sake of safety, so he was not in a hurry.

The next day, Xia Li came to Urahara Store with Mingjing Shisui.

"You are finally here. I thought you took my things and never came back." When Urahara Kisuke saw Xia Li, his eyes lit up and he was completely relieved.

However, Urahara Kisuke was a little strange. Why did Xia Li look like he didn't change at all?

Even the hollows mentioned by Xia Li are different from the gods of death, right? For example, bone ornaments, but Xia Li has none of them.

"I just want this thing to complete a small purpose. It will be useless to me later. What am I here for?" Xia Li said and threw the broken jade directly to Urahara Kisuke.

And Urahara Kisuke also took it casually.

Looking at the attitudes of these two people, it seems that this broken jade is like an inconspicuous little object.

Shifengyuan Yoruichi and Wuling Tessai standing next to them had their eyes twitching. They all knew the magical power of the Hougyoku. If it were passed on to Soul Society, it would definitely be a treasure of natural disaster level.

"Hmm? What did you use it for? Why did you consume so much?" Urahara Kisuke also found that the energy of the Hougyoku was a little bit wrong.

"Who knows? I just used it to help my Zanpakuto complete the change, and then it became like this." Xia Li said.

"Zanpakuto?!" Urahara Kisuke couldn't help but look at Xia Li.

"Is it not possible?" Xia Li asked back.

"It's not impossible, but I thought you took the Hougyoku for yourself..." Urahara Kisuke smiled bitterly. He was still thinking that Xia Li was already so strong, why did he risk his life to become hollow.

In the end, it was for Zanpakuto?

Urahara Kisuke didn't doubt whether Zanpakuto could become hollow.

After all, with his research, he had long known that the soul of the god of death was hidden in the Zanpakuto. Since it was a soul, it could be hollowed.

But, can it really become stronger in this way?

Urahara Kisuke was skeptical about this.

However, apart from this, does the hollowing of Zanpakutō need to consume so much power of Hougyoku?

You know, he helped all the people in the Masked Army to cure their hollowing, but he didn't use so much...

Then Xia Li is lying, but the other party has returned the Hougyoku to him, is there any need to lie?

Based on Urahara Kisuke's understanding of Xia Li, this matter should be true.

"It seems that you don't understand why." Xia Li also saw the puzzled look on Urahara Kisuke's face from time to time at this time, and couldn't help but say.

"Maybe."

"Have a few drinks with me, and I may come over after a long time." Xia Li said and threw a few bottles of wine to Urahara Kisuke.

"Huh? Do you want to leave after getting the Hougyoku? It's so heartless~" Urahara Kisuke no longer thought about the use of Hougyoku power, and said in a non-tune.

"Well, I will probably go to Hueco Mundo to retreat for a long time later." Xia Li did not hide it from Urahara Kisuke, and directly told his plan.

"Retreat? It seems you have gained a lot this time." Urahara Kisuke was startled, then said.

"Yes, it is a great help. Otherwise, I can only let Meijing Shisui fall into a Hollow, but that will undoubtedly hurt Meijing Shisui, so I don't want to do that. I can only borrow your Collapse Jade."

Xia Li also said the specific reason why he took the Collapse Jade. (End of this chapter)
