Mr. Ryo and his companions had just arrived.
The gate of the mansion had already opened.
A total of five people greeted Mr. Ryo and his companions.
Stone Hashira, Sound Hashira, Water Pillar, Wind Hashira, and Flower Pillar Kanae Kocho.
At this point in time, it was four years before the original story began.
This generation of demon slayer Nine Pillars had not yet been fully assembled.
For instance, Wind Hashira Sanemi Shinazugawa had only just become a Pillar this year.
“What a powerful physique.”
Tanjuro’s gaze swept over the five people, pausing abruptly only on Stone Hashira.
Under the Transparent World, this man’s physique was the strongest he had ever seen.
It was a physique like that of a monster.
His muscles seemed to be cast from steel.
He was completely on a different level from the others beside him.
If Mr. Ryo knew of Tanjuro’s inner surprise at this moment, he would only say it was quite normal.
Stone Hashira was truly an overpowered existence among the demon slayer Nine Pillars.
Counting his physical talent and Comprehension Ability talent, he was stably in the top three among all humans who appeared in the original work.
At this time, the other four Pillars were basically at the level of the previous generation of Pillars and had not yet grown to their Peak.
However, Stone Hashira at this time was already almost at his Peak.
In his base state, he could basically defeat any demon below Upper Rank Three, and in his Peak state four years later, he could even defeat Upper Rank Three in his base state.
“Madam, and Miss Fujiwara, please follow me this way.”
“This is where the Master works; the living quarters are on the other side.”
Kanae stepped forward and spoke softly to Secretary Fujiwara and Kamado Aoi.
She truly was a very gentle person.
“Seriously, why can Mr. Ryo go in, but I can’t?”
At this moment, Secretary Fujiwara displayed her Devil King-level ability to disrupt the atmosphere.
She enjoyed participating in all sorts of interesting things.
Earlier, she had noticed some interesting aspects about Mr. Ryo, but he deliberately avoided her.
This time too, the Ubuyashiki Family Head, whom even her great-grandfather had highly praised, actually chose to meet Mr. Ryo.
Instead, he left her, the Young Miss of the Fujiwara Family, aside.
And Mr. Tanjuro, he also hid many secrets.
“Miss Chika, after receiving news of you, your family arrived here yesterday.”
“Especially your older and younger sisters.”
Her gentleness indeed managed to calm Secretary Fujiwara.
Finally, she obediently followed Kanae and left.
“Then, Mr. Tanjuro, and young Mr. Ryo, let us splendidly go to meet the Master.”
Sound Hashira spoke, his face full of cheerfulness and vitality.
In the original work, Mr. Ryo quite liked the flamboyant guy.
It was quite upsetting to see him lose an arm and an eye back then.
But seeing the ending, indeed, boys who smile a lot have good luck.
The flamboyant guy with a severed arm and a blind eye had the best ending in demon slayer.
“The Master has been waiting for a long time.”
Stone Hashira’s voice was deep, his face covered in tears.
This made Tanjuro next to him look puzzled.
On the other side, Wind Hashira’s expression was quite sour, perhaps due to Giyu Tomioka next to him.
Walking into the mansion, a man was already waiting there.
The man had a gentle demeanor, but what was most striking was that one of his eyes was quite twisted and ugly.
If Mr. Ryo were to describe it,
It was like the bulging veins when activating the Byakugan in Naruto, but even denser around the man’s eye.
And it wasn’t a normal skin color, but an ominous gray.
“Mr. Tanjuro, Mr. Ryo.”
“I have already heard about some situations from Mr. Sakonji.”
Kagaya Ubuyashiki smiled as he looked at Mr. Ryo and Tanjuro.
His voice carried a special magic, entering the ears with a calming effect on the mind.
It even gave one a dizzying sense of relaxation in the head.
This was a characteristic similar to Tanjiro’s sense of smell or Sound Hashira’s sense of hearing, which could also be called a superpower.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki was a born leader.
With his vocal ability, he could easily bridge relationships with others.
He also possessed a certain degree of precognition, able to vaguely sense the nodes of fate.
In the original work, he once prophesied that this generation would completely defeat Muzan.
“I have also researched a lot of information these past few days; let’s discuss the specifics slowly.”
Kagaya Ubuyashiki gestured for Tanjuro and Mr. Ryo to sit down in front of him.
A small table had already been set up here, with tea on it.
Tanjuro walked over and sat kneeling, while Mr. Ryo, disliking kneeling, simply sat cross-legged.
He acted as an observer throughout.
Instead, Tanjuro spoke in a gentle voice, recounting the story of his Kamado Family ancestors and Yoriichi.
He also spoke of the Hinokami Kagura he had practiced for so many years, and the Transparent World he had developed.
“Transparent World?”
Stone Hashira’s tears paused, his gaze serious, as if he had been moved.
Tanjuro spoke, narrating slowly.
“To open the Transparent World, the key lies in the precision of breathing and movements.”
“And whether one can exert maximum power with minimal movement.”
“Initially, one must practice movements, and as the five senses open, one must recognize every single blood vessel in one’s body.”
“After remembering and absorbing many things, one then closes off the unnecessary parts of the movement, leaving only what is needed for that movement.”
“Over time, the opening and closing of blood vessels and muscles within the body will be completed as swiftly and simply as blinking.”
“At that point, light will appear, and the Dao will open.”
“Once the mind becomes Transparent, one will begin to see a ‘Transparent World’.”
Tanjuro was describing the cultivation method for the Transparent World that he had comprehended.
He had also told Mr. Ryo about this method.
But Mr. Ryo could only respond, “I understand, and then what?”
This basically meant having to control every single blood vessel in the body, and that was only the beginning.
Mr. Ryo was helpless; he felt no stir, because this Realm was simply too far from him.
It was a Realm that could only be reached by those who had undergone countless trials.
As Tanjuro said, to reach this Realm, one must go through an extremely painful process.
“I see, this is the Transparent World, how moving.”
Stone Hashira’s tears suddenly streamed down his face.
He clasped his hands together, like a student, sincerely thanking Tanjuro.
At this moment, Mr. Ryo suddenly understood the look in Secretary Fujiwara’s eyes when she saw him in the snow before.
Now he looked at Stone Hashira the same way.
Dude, you’re really good at this, so fast.
However, thinking about the original work, Mr. Ryo felt that this seemed normal.
Because the original story was even more unreasonable; no one even told Stone Hashira the concept of the Transparent World or the trick to activating it.
He merely opened it because he noticed Kokushibo seemed to be able to see a different world.
At this time, although his accumulation was not as profound as it would be four years later.
But since Tanjuro had broken through the barrier for him, he naturally comprehended it.
