Jujutsu Kaisen: Shadow King.

"Cursed Spirit?!"

"Still human?!"

At this moment, Maki and Shinji's perception was very confused, as if the existence in front of them was both and neither.

"what are you?!"

Fushiguro Megumi shouted with vigilance, and the figure of Chimera Beast Jaw-Spit appeared in front of him.

Tian Yuan smiled when he saw the three of them were so alert, and waved his hand, saying, "Don't be nervous. Who else would live in this Hongxing Palace besides me, Tian Tian?"

"You are Lord Tianyuan?!"

The three of them looked suspicious at the same time. Tianyuan is a human, but you look creepier than a ghost = =

"This posture is the result of the 'immortality' technique being on the verge of losing control, and the body about to 'evolve' again." Tianyuan explained:

"The Star Plasma from more than a decade ago was detained by Chanyuan Weilai and others. I can only settle for the next best thing and fuse the alternate Star Plasma."

"Because it is a reserve option, it has almost reached its limit in just over a decade."

"But it won't be a problem if we can hold on for another ten years."

Hear the words.

Maki and Shinobu could not sense any falsehood at all, they could confirm that what the "person" in front of them said was true.

but.

The most convincing lies are often true.

Maki did not let her guard down, just as Yamabuki Otome had been talking nonsense in front of Maki for a long time without revealing anything.

It is because everything she said was true, without any falsehood, she just suppressed the most important information.

Maki doesn't want to be backstabbed by "her own people" again, especially since Mirai often instills in her the idea that "that old woman Tengen is a jerk."

"Um......"

Faced with Maki's vigilance, Tianyuan was a little distressed. So far, no one had ever seen her with such deep hostility when entering Hongxing Palace.

This terrifying appearance, like that of a cursed spirit, is certainly one of the reasons, but this little girl is too repulsive.

Tian Yuan thought so, and then said: "Then how do you want me to prove it? How about you provide a feasible method? Otherwise, you will say that I set the problem for myself in advance, hehe~"

talking.

Tengen smiled like a little girl, and if it weren't for her scary appearance, Fushiguro Megumi would have thought she was quite cute.

Think about it.

Fushiguro Megumi stepped forward and said, "The real Tengen-sama is the core of the barrier of the entire curse world. Because of her existence, profound and complex barrier techniques can be cast by people with shallow curse power."

"Now, I will use this sacred tree as the center to lay down a 'tent' covering the entire Hongxing Palace." Fushiguro Megumi placed one hand on his chest, condensed it into a sword finger, looked at Tianyuan and said:

"If you are the real Lord Tianyuan, then temporarily withdraw your permission to help me set up the barrier. I will make my own judgment on the key points."

"Oh~"

"You are quite smart."

Tian Yuan raised his lips and praised: "This is indeed a relatively safe way to prove that I am myself without causing any conflict."

talking.

Tianyuan raised his hand and pointed at Fushiguro Megumi in the air.

"Okay, now try to set up the tent."

"Remember to go slowly. Casting a barrier on your own requires very precise manipulation of magical power and relevant theoretical knowledge."

"Even the simplest 'tent' is not so easy to perform by one person."

Fushiguro Megumi nodded seriously, and then chanted very slowly: "Born from darkness, from darkness to darkness, all filth and filth, all must be exorcised!"

hum-

As Fushiguro Megumi invested his cursed power, the surrounding space seemed to have undergone some changes, but...

"Failed?"

Maki looked around and propped up her special glasses with one finger. She could neither sense nor see the existence of the "tent".

"Then she is really..."

Before Maki could finish her words, a cloud of ink-like substance suddenly spewed out from thin air above her head, and the barrier took effect immediately.

The curtain visible to the sorcerer's naked eye soon fell completely, covering the entire Hongxing Palace as Fushiguro Megumi had said before.

"Fake!"

"How dare you lie to me!"

"Where is the real Tianyuan-sama?"

Maki pointed her sword at Tengen and threatened him harshly.

"Maki-senpai!"

Fushiguro Megumi was sweating profusely and raised his hand to stop her: "She is the real Tengen-sama!"

"why?"

"Didn't the barrier successfully set up?"

"If she is the real Tengen-sama, how could she..." Maki was puzzled.

At this time.

Tian Yuan looked at Fushiguro Megumi with admiration and explained, "That's because this barrier was cast entirely by his personal ability."

"To be able to master 'Field Expansion' at such a young age, you must have put a lot of effort into barrier techniques."

"If you keep up this momentum, maybe you can catch up with Gojo Satoru in your lifetime."

"Ha ha......"

"I'm not that good even if I can catch up with Gojo Morisai or something like that." After being praised by Tengen, Fushiguro Megumi was so shy that she scratched her head and said seriously:

"Thank you for your recognition, Master Tianyuan."

Seeing that Megumi Fushiguro said this, Maki and Shinobu also let down their guard.

It was only thanks to Future's brainwashing that Maki always kept an eye on Tengen and would never give her the chance to trick her.

For Tengen, who has lived for a thousand years and has also observed the world of sorcery for a thousand years, Maki's little thoughts are naturally clear to him.

But she didn't mind it, and actually admired Maki's vigilance.

In this way, you won't be easily exploited or harmed by others.

Ugh......

"Come with me. This is still the outer hall of Hongxing Palace. The real Hongxing Palace is inside." Tianyuan led the three people to the door in the gap at the root of the sacred tree.

Maki asked, "Why is the outer hall in such a state? Lord Tengen's residence should be kept clean and tidy, right?"

"Uh......"

Tian Yuan had a subtle expression when he heard this, as if he didn't want to say anything more. He explained, "Because this place has been invaded before."

"A 'special grade' and two 'quasi-special grade' fought an extremely fierce battle here."

"You should all know those two quasi-special-grade masters. They are two of the five great 'special-grade masters' of the modern era - Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru."

"what?!"

Maki was surprised: "Who needs both of them to join forces to deal with?!"

Maki couldn't think of anyone other than some jerk named Zenin Mirai.

"Let's not talk about that person. He hasn't shown up for a long time." Tian Yuan seemed very cautious about the "special grade" and continued to explain:

"In short, the result of the battle was the defeat of Wu and Jie, and the complete destruction of the outer hall of Hongxing Palace."

"After that, Zen Yuanwei issued an order to impose martial law in Hongxing Palace. Even the craftsmen who came to repair the outer hall of Hongxing Palace were not allowed to enter."

Hearing this, Maki narrowed her eyes and said sarcastically, "That guy must have done it on purpose = ="

Tianyuan agreed with Maki's point of view very much. She didn't know how she had offended Zenin Mirai, but she didn't dare to say anything about it, even though Zenin Mirai was now sealed.

"Come to think of it, if the Zen temple hadn't been sealed in the future, it would not be easy for you to enter the Hongxing Palace." Tianyuan changed the subject very cleverly.

"That's it..."

Several people passed through the tree hole and entered the real inner hall of Hongxing Palace.

What meets the eye is a grey, foggy void of space. Although one’s feet are on solid ground, one cannot feel the existence of the sky or the earth.

Maki and the others had experienced this feeling not long ago.

It's the field!

Tian Yuan took in the expressions of Maki and the others and laughed: "You have a good idea. Welcome to my "Domain Expansion: The Advent of the Divine Tree Realm"."

"It has taken root here along with the sacred tree you saw outside, using 'never to move again' as 'restraint', and has become the external core of all the barriers inside Neon."

"Why do you want to do this?" Fushiguro Megumi asked, "If this is the case, wouldn't Lord Tengen have to stay in this place forever?"

"It's a long story..." Tianyuan was about to skip this topic, but Maki was not afraid of making things worse: "Let's make it short = ="
