“I remember… there seemed to be records of similar situations in the family notes…”
The Genji family, where Genji Takamitsu belonged, was an upper-class noble family in Soul Society, similar to the Kuchiki family.
And the Genji family knew many secrets of Soul Society! These were secrets that were even more hidden than those known to the Shiba family.
This was why, after Genji Takamitsu had finished reading the fourth layer’s work records, he deduced the truth of this place.
“Firstly, the first question, why does this place exist here? Secondly, does the fourth division captain, Yoruichi Shihōin, know the truth of this place? And finally, why did Yoruichi Shihōin place me here?”
“It’s not difficult to guess that the person who set up this place must have known that the superstition was true! And the reason why this barrier was set up was probably to experiment with how to release the massive spiritual pressure of a deceased being with high spiritual power back to the earth!”
“This experimental barrier must have been modified after multiple trials! After all, the degree of age is different, this can be seen directly. But this also shows one point, that after multiple experiments, there will inevitably be experimental records! And now they are not seen, which also shows two points! Firstly, they were taken away by Yoruichi Shihōin! This shows that Yoruichi Shihōin already knew the true face of this fourth layer! Secondly, they were destroyed!”
“But I’m more inclined to believe the first point! Because, if you don’t want future generations to know about this place, just destroy it! There’s no need to keep it! And keeping it means that this fourth layer has a certain use!”
“Then, following this line of thought, could Yoruichi Shihōin’s purpose in sending me to the fourth layer be for that?”
At this time, Genji Takamitsu had already reached the boundary of the barrier.
Immediately, Genji Takamitsu carefully observed the barrier in front of him, muttering constantly.
“If you want to know what it’s used for, you must understand the principle of this barrier!”
Genji Takamitsu cracked a smile and said, “This won’t be difficult for me!”
“Control it! Ten no Hitsugi!”
A beam of light flew out from the Zanpakutō on Genji Takamitsu’s waist! Then, it turned into stardust scattered over the entire area of the fourth layer!
At this moment, everything on the fourth layer was seen by Genji Takamitsu!
“Ten no Hitsugi”, Genji Takamitsu’s Zanpakutō, its most essential function is to absolutely control the entire area covered by his spiritual pressure!
In other words, the moment Genji Takamitsu released his Zanpakutō, everything in this area had already been transformed into a series of data and summarized to Genji Takamitsu by “Ten no Hitsugi”.
The moment Genji Takamitsu opened his eyes, a faint starlight flashed in his pupils.
“I see…”
“The rocks that make up the fourth layer are Gokyoku-seki brought from Hell! Moreover, all areas within the barrier are covered with this Gokyoku-seki brought from the depths of Hell! Its function is equivalent to opening a hole for a deceased being with high spiritual power, so that the spiritual particles in their body have a place to vent, and then slowly flow back to the earth!”
“And the barrier that surrounds this area is a super high-level Kidō. Its purpose is to trap something, then destroy it! And that something is likely to be a Hollow!”
Genji Takamitsu thought of those ashes, which should be the remnants of the Hollow being destroyed.
Through the information fed back by “Ten no Hitsugi”, Genji Takamitsu also confirmed his conjecture.
Yoruichi Shihōin had been here before, and she even took away the experimental records. What’s interesting is that Yoruichi Shihōin seemed to have obtained something related to the Return to the World after leaving.
Secondly, the last person to enter was Yamada Kiyono-suke, who obtained the technology related to human body creation!
“Did they all obtain something after defeating a Hollow from an unknown place?”
As he muttered this sentence, Genji Takamitsu suddenly raised his head and cautiously looked around.
Because he discovered that the Hollow from the unknown place was getting closer and closer to the exit! In other words…
“The barrier doesn’t have much power to trap the Hollow anymore…”
Ignoring the Grand Hollow that was slowly emerging from behind him, Genji Takamitsu simply chuckled and said, “Ha… I don’t know if I’m lucky or unlucky… Crisis and opportunity coexist? It’s really troublesome! Don’t you think so, Ten no Hitsugi!”
The moment Genji Takamitsu finished speaking, “Ten no Hitsugi” emitted a beam of starlight.
The moment the Grand Hollow revealed its entire body, invisible chains bound the Grand Hollow, preventing it from escaping.
The moment Genji Takamitsu turned around, countless blood splattered from the Grand Hollow’s body, eventually turning into sand and dissipating within the barrier.
However, the next moment, when “Ten no Hitsugi” de-activated its release, the spiritual particles within the barrier scattered like stardust on Genji Takamitsu’s entire body.
It was at this moment that Genji Takamitsu finally understood why Yoruichi Shihōin and Yamada Kiyono-suke obtained certain things after defeating the Grand Hollow.
It wasn’t actually about defeating the Grand Hollow, but about the release and containment of spiritual particles!
At the moment of releasing the spiritual particles, Genji Takamitsu’s own spiritual particles resonated with the spiritual particles within the barrier, and then at the moment of retrieval, his own spiritual particles carried the information carried by the spiritual particles within the barrier back to the body where the spiritual particles resided.
This was the truth of the so-called benefits!
This time, Genji Takamitsu obtained information related to the recorded application of spiritual particle advancement.
“Not bad!”
After completely digesting the information in his mind, Genji Takamitsu showed a satisfied smile.
“This is a good deal! However, it’s a pity that only the first time releasing one’s own spiritual particles is effective!”
After organizing his gains, Genji Takamitsu seriously looked at the ashes that had reached the exit of the barrier on the ground.
“It has already reached this level?”
Just as Genji Takamitsu was thinking about how to solve this hidden danger, the door to the fourth layer opened.
When he saw Yoruichi Shihōin’s Yamato Nadeshiko-like smile, Genji Takamitsu suddenly became furious!
“Captain Yoruichi Shihōin! Please explain what’s going on!”
“A-la-la…”
Yoruichi Shihōin covered her mouth, looking as if she were greatly surprised.
“Why is Takamitsu-kun like this?”
Seeing Yoruichi Shihōin acting like this, Genji Takamitsu snorted coldly.
“Hmph! Captain Yoruichi Shihōin… I’m not one of those naive people! Please don’t treat me lightly!”
“Okay… okay… then… let’s get to the point then!”
At this moment, Yoruichi Shihōin’s eyes became exceptionally serious.
“I placed Takamitsu-kun here as a test. After all, your spiritual pressure, which is about to overflow, is well-hidden, but unfortunately I detected it!”
“Uh…”
Genji Takamitsu, who originally wanted to show weakness, suddenly became a little embarrassed.
“When I investigated and confirmed that Takamitsu-kun was just a low-key person, I came here. But unexpectedly, I didn’t expect that Takamitsu-kun is also a very talented person…”
Hearing Yoruichi Shihōin’s words, Genji Takamitsu finally understood that during the time Yoruichi Shihōin had already arranged him in the fourth layer, she went to investigate his related experiences!
At the same time, Genji Takamitsu also understood that this was caused by him intentionally concealing his strength and being discovered.
However, luckily his past experiences were all fine! This was also one of the reasons why Genji Takamitsu was able to act recklessly!
