#92Chapter 92: Twelve Heavenly Stems [White Flour] (3K Second Update)AI Model: gemini-2.5-flash
The [Baimian] (3K second update)
The black Orochi suddenly opened its mouth towards Bai Cangshu. Bai Cangshu tapped the ground with his toes, instantly reversed his center of gravity, leaped back into the air, and grabbed Xia Youjie from the ground.
Poof!
A foul-smelling breath spread out, but Bai Cangshu kept retreating while holding onto Xia Youjie.
He held Xia Youjie's neck with one hand and supported Xia Youjie's waist with the other.
"Reverse Cursed Technique is not omnipotent. If you don't make these Cursed Spirits stop, I will kill you immediately and escape."
Compared to these Cursed Spirits, Bai Cangshu's method of dealing with Xia Youjie was simpler.
Seeing that the Cursed Spirits' attack target was still focused on himself, and the Space did not give a kill prompt, Bai Cangshu knew that the Xia Youjie of this world had likely mastered [Reverse Cursed Technique].
Becoming quite difficult to kill.
But Bai Cangshu still held the other party hostage. He knew very well that if he really let Xia Youjie do as he pleased, with thousands of Cursed Spirits coming out, he would be overwhelmed even with a trump card like [Secret Rite: Inari God's Strike].
[Reverse Cursed Technique] can be said to be almost the strongest general ability in this world, allowing these Cursed Sorcerers' not-so-strong physiques to gain powerful recovery power almost equivalent to slight immortality.
Of course, Reverse Cursed Technique also has weaknesses. The essence of Reverse Cursed Technique is to reverse negative Cursed Energy. A large amount of negative Cursed Energy reacts in a multiplicative manner, turning into positive energy, thereby producing healing abilities similar to holy light and additional killing power against Cursed Spirits.
Continuous use of Reverse Cursed Technique will lead to a decrease in the efficiency of one's technique.
But in short-term battles, if the Cursed Energy nodes are not destroyed, it can indeed be considered a certain degree of immortality.
In the domain battle with Ryomen Sukuna, Gojo Satoru's body was almost subjected to continuous slashes, but he still managed to survive by using the precise control of Limitless combined with the heaven-defying Reverse Cursed Technique.
But the Cursed Energy nodes of a Cursed Sorcerer are actually located in the lower dantian, where the flow of Cursed Energy converges.
Xia Youjie tried to struggle, but the person behind him was indeed like [Heavenly Restriction: Toji Fushiguro] whom he and Gojo Satoru encountered back then.
His physical abilities completely surpassed ordinary people. Even a Cursed Sorcerer like himself, who was proficient in close combat, could not move.
Bai Cangshu had already activated [Transparent World]. Although he could not see through Cursed Energy, any of Xia Youjie's body movements would be seen through by Bai Cangshu.
He could completely achieve an effect similar to preempting the enemy, neutralizing Xia Youjie's struggles one by one.
Bai Cangshu was indeed capable of killing Xia Youjie at this time. As long as he used [Rakshasa Palm] to completely shatter Xia Youjie's lower dantian, preventing Reverse Cursed Technique from continuing, he could completely end this special grade Cursed Sorcerer.
But Bai Cangshu saw the Cursed Spirits outside the courtyard stirring.
"Tch, looking at your eyes, I thought you were a lunatic like Satoru. What's wrong, you still have your sanity?"
Xia Youjie's cervical vertebrae were restrained by Bai Cangshu's hand, causing severe pain when he moved slightly, but he still joked.
Bai Cangshu could sense that Xia Youjie was truly not afraid of death.
Even... he had a potential for self-destruction.
Crack, crack...
With a cruel smile, Xia Youjie twisted his cervical vertebrae little by little and turned his head to look at Bai Cangshu.
His eyes were unrestrained, completely unconcerned about this fatal injury.
"You're right. If you kill me, those thousands of Cursed Spirits will run wild and flatten the entire Kyoto."
His smile carried mockery, as if ridiculing Bai Cangshu for being afraid of death.
But Bai Cangshu sneered, then pressed Xia Youjie's head with his left hand.
Crack, crack.
Amidst the chilling sound of bones twisting, he turned Xia Youjie's head back again.
During this process, Xia Youjie's body had lost control. With his cervical vertebrae completely dislocated, his body exhibited various uncontrolled reactions before being healed by Reverse Cursed Technique.
Bai Cangshu let go of Xia Youjie.
"Only fools who have no power and can't let go of their obsession will seek death wholeheartedly."
Plop.
Xia Youjie was thrown to the ground, and Reverse Cursed Technique quickly healed his injuries.
Bai Cangshu had already discovered that although Xia Youjie was restrained by him, he did not stop controlling the Cursed Spirits. Neither Tamamo-no-Mae outside the courtyard wall nor the few Orochi attacked the defenseless Tsuchimikado Ochiai.
Xia Youjie was much more rational than his displayed crazy demeanor.
Xia Youjie got up, patted the dust off his Robe, not caring about his embarrassment or Bai Cangshu's ridicule.
"Gentlemen, the spiritual disaster in Tokyo is our Tsuchimikado Clan's sin, but now, my Tsuchimikado Clan's bloodline is already dwindling. Even if we wanted to exorcise the spiritual disaster, it would be impossible."
Tsuchimikado Ochiai, who had witnessed the struggle between the two, spoke at this time.
He no longer dodged or played dumb, admitting that the great disaster in Tokyo actually came from their Tsuchimikado Clan's terrifying Onmyodo – [Lord Taishan].
"In the past, our clan's ancestors in Tokyo attempted to reverse the outcome of that war and turn the tide of the nation's destiny using [Lord Taishan], but ultimately failed, causing the great spiritual disaster in Tokyo with many casualties."
"The Onmyoji lineage suffered a devastating blow, and our clan's ancestor Yakou also perished."
Bai Cangshu listened to the Old Man recount history, wondering in his heart whether this change was a change in the world line or if some truth was hidden within.
But if it was true that the Tsuchimikado clansmen were now almost all dead, then Tsuchimikado Yakou in this timeline would not have used [Lord Taishan] to reincarnate himself.
As the Onmyoji most trusted by the Japanese military at the time, he was a great Onmyoji who combined various religious techniques from Japan at that time and created the so-called [Emperor Style · Onmyodo].
Using [Lord Taishan] to reverse the nation's destiny was indeed a possible development.
Xia Youjie also leaned to the side, listening to the other party's narration.
He also wanted to know what kind of power his almost invincible best friend had died under.
"Half a year ago, a special person appeared. He also held an emblem that had made a great contribution to our clan, winning our trust."
"I don't know who gave him that technique, maybe no one did."
"After all, a great ritual like [Lord Taishan] is simply not something a single Onmyoji can accomplish."
"But in the end, he learned of the existence of [Emperor Style · Mount Tai Feng Ceremony], which was a modified technique by ancestor Yakou."
"Then... you've already seen the result."
The Old Man sat on the ground dejectedly.
"Emperor Style · Mount Tai Feng Ceremony..."
Xia Youjie repeated the name, his thoughts somewhat overflowing.

Bai Cangshu saw Xia Youjie's distraction.
In his opinion, Xia Youjie was not a qualified leader, let alone a competent villain.
When he was kind, he was too idealistic, and even after falling, he still retained too many scruples and thoughts. This kind of person is probably the type who cannot commit evil completely.
"So, that person used [Emperor Style · Mount Tai Feng Ceremony] to make a wish, exchanging the lives of thirty-three thousand people for Gojo Satoru to be cursed to death?"
Bai Cangshu felt that things should not be that simple.
[Lord Taishan] is not an ability that can be used by a single person at will. Records show that only top Onmyoji like Abe no Seimei and Tsuchimikado Yakou have used it when their Shikigami and other preparations were sufficient.
That Tsuchimikado Yakou, who was arguably the strongest Onmyoji of an era, also perished and caused a spiritual disaster after performing Emperor Style · Mount Tai Feng Ceremony.
Bai Cangshu suddenly froze. He looked at the Old Man and saw him avert his gaze.
His heart rate was a bit higher than before.
He was lying, or rather, he was hiding something.
Tap, tap, tap.
Bai Cangshu's footsteps made Tsuchimikado Ochiai's heart pound even harder.
Xia Youjie also watched from the side with composure, not stopping Bai Cangshu's actions.
"Head of the Tsuchimikado family, if I'm not mistaken, after Tsuchimikado Yakou used [Emperor Style · Mount Tai Feng Ceremony] back then, it also caused a huge spiritual disaster in Tokyo, right?"
"I'm wondering if that guy deliberately set the location in Tokyo."
"Two spiritual disasters both erupting from Tokyo, isn't that a bit too coincidental?"
As Bai Cangshu spoke, he placed his right hand on the other party's shoulder. The frequency of his breathing changed, and golden ripples began to swim. Tsuchimikado Ochiai suddenly felt his aging body become a little lighter.
"Neither I nor that Cult Leader Mr. behind me should be considered good people."
"Can you tell us the real secret of Emperor Style · Mount Tai Feng Ceremony?"
-
City of Death · Tokyo.
A burly man with a jacket and a full beard got out of the car. Old Gui swung his sword, shaking off the foul-smelling blood of the Cursed Spirits.
The few of them finally arrived at Tokyo.
Not far away, the black giant egg constantly expanded and contracted, as if nurturing new life.
Wei Yixiao didn't dare to fly into the air at this time. The concentration of curses in this place was too high, and they had to change the talismans on their bodies that were responsible for defending against negative energy invasion almost every five minutes.
"Boss, is Gojo Satoru's corpse and spirit here?"
"Theoretically, we just need to destroy the corpse or spirit, and the Curse Spirit King won't be born, right?"
[Kai] took a final two puffs, threw down the cigarette, and exhaled a puff of turbid air.
"It's not that simple."
"This place, about decades ago, a ritual was performed here. That ritual failed, but for some reason, the information of the ritual is still preserved on this land."
"That guy, [Baimian], probably stole the Destiny of [Tsuchimikado Yakou], borrowed the identity and fate of [Tsuchimikado Yakou], performed [Lord Taishan] here again, completed the ritual, and caused the huge spiritual disaster that swept across Tokyo."
"But Gojo Satoru's death is a bit strange. Before we can confirm whether Gojo Satoru's Destiny has been stolen, we cannot conclude that the Curse Spirit King that is about to be born is Gojo Satoru."
Old Gui, wearing a Hannya mask, also stopped joking with his teammates at this time and said,
"Gojo Satoru's [Limitless] combined with [Six Eyes], plus the Reverse Cursed Technique he himself mastered, theoretically, his actual combat ability should be among the top tier within the [Strong] rank, right? Besides using the so-called [Lord Taishan] to directly pray to the lord of mount tai to curse him to death, would [Baimian] have any other way?"
[Kai] also shook his head.
"Who knows, [Baimian] is one of that adult's followers. I only fought him once in a previous team battle and cannot confirm what abilities he has supplemented now."
"A special sequence Reincarnators of the Twelve Heavenly Stems, and a follower of the Zhi Qiang Zhe. This kind of guy, tsk, is really troublesome."
