Chapter 33 - Sesshomaru, my foolish Otouto! (Please keep reading. )
"Sesshomaru, my foolish Otouto, it seems your strength has fallen far behind mine again!"
After finishing off Sesshomaru, Bai Ye felt much more refreshed.
Immediately after being promoted to a first-rate demon, Bai Ye thought of testing his strength against Sesshomaru.
"Damn it, how can your cultivation speed be so fast?"
"Call me Gege!"
Saying that, Bai Ye directly punched Sesshomaru on the head.
"No, why did your strength improve so quickly?"
A month ago, he was a second-rate demon just like me, but how long has it been? I'm still a second-rate demon, but Bai Ye has already reached first-rate.
"Who knows!"
Bai Ye didn't dwell on Sesshomaru's defiant attitude. His Otouto had always been like this, seemingly a bit tsundere?
Anyway, making him call him Gege was harder than killing him.
As for his strength, he was also surprised that his strength improved so quickly. The next stage would probably be a powerful demon, but although it's called a powerful demon, it's not really a complete level. It actually means he's almost at the level of a Great Demon, commonly known as a Great Demon doorman. Generally, if he had a good weapon at this point, he would also be considered a powerful demon.
Only after reaching the Great Demon level would he truly be in the powerful club. During Inu Daisho's era, there were many Great Demons, unlike Naraku's era where Great Demons were already very rare.
"By the way, I'm going to leave Inu no Kuni for a while. You can cultivate on your own recently."
Bai Ye and Sesshomaru had always cultivated together, of course, it was Bai Ye unilaterally beating Sesshomaru.
Although the difference in their strength wasn't huge, Bai Ye was always able to win by a slight margin, which made Sesshomaru somewhat unconvinced. He had always been persistent in his cultivation, hoping that one day he could defeat Bai Ye.
Of course, he hadn't thought about taking a shortcut, but thinking that it probably wouldn't belong to him, he felt a bit disappointed.
"Leaving Inu no Kuni? Are you going to participate in the war between Inu no Kuni and the Leopard Cat Clan?"
Bai Ye already had the strength of a first-rate demon. If he had a good weapon, then he would have strength between a Great Demon. So, was he going to find his father and then take Tessaiga?
"No, not so fast. I don't want to participate in the war yet. I still lack a weapon!"
"Don't you want Father's Three Swords of Heaven, Earth, and Man?"
Sesshomaru looked at Bai Ye with some surprise. He originally thought Bai Ye would go to the front line and ask Inu Daisho for a weapon, but hearing Bai Ye's meaning, it seemed he wanted to forge a weapon himself?
"My foolish Otouto, what belongs to oneself is the best. Although the Three Swords of Heaven, Earth, and Man are strong, why not walk your own path?"
Bai Ye rubbed his forehead in distress. When Sesshomaru was very young, Bai Ye had always instilled in him that relying on oneself was the best, not taking from others.
The Three Swords of Heaven, Earth, and Man were indeed strong. Tessaiga could plunder the demon power of other demons and evolve various abilities, Tenseiga could kill messengers from the underworld and revive the dead, and Tsumuryuha was even a BUG-like weapon, even allowing Setsuna no Takemaru, who was originally a normal human, to have the ability to severely wound Inu Daisho.
These three swords were undoubtedly very strong, but he didn't need them, and Sesshomaru actually didn't need them either.
From the original work, it can be seen that Inu Daisho was always arranging the path Inuyasha was to take.
Why?
Because Inuyasha was a Hanyo, his upper limit was there, while Sesshomaru inherited his and Ayame's perfect bloodline, and had his own path to walk. He didn't need Inu Daisho to arrange it at all. This was actually Inu Daisho's belief in Sesshomaru, but Sesshomaru didn't think so in the early stages.
But after he transmigrated to this world, he also tried to change Sesshomaru's mind. At first, he felt quite good about himself, but later, for some unknown reason, Sesshomaru became interested in Inu Daisho's sword again.
"You don't understand, you haven't seen Father use Tessaiga."
Sesshomaru also thought so at first, but later he saw Inu Daisho use Tessaiga. With just one swing of the sword, tens of thousands of demons instantly turned into ashes.
From that moment on, he had the idea of wanting to possess Tessaiga.
"So, you want Tessaiga?"
Bai Ye was defeated. After all this, Sesshomaru still wanted Tessaiga.
This thing was indeed a cheating artifact, but you, Sesshomaru, didn't need it at all.
But Bai Ye didn't know how to tell Sesshomaru about this.
Hearing Bai Ye's blunt words, Sesshomaru nodded without hesitation.
This young man, who even thought of snatching the sword when his father was about to die, naturally wouldn't shy away from his feelings.
Before meeting Rin, Sesshomaru was indeed indifferent to everything.
Even Bai Ye, who grew up with him, he didn't show much rejection, and their relationship was even quite good, but he wouldn't show too much of the warmth in his heart.
Perhaps
This was also the reason why Inu Daisho didn't give Tessaiga to Sesshomaru, but gave Tenseiga to Sesshomaru.
His demonic nature was too strong, too violent.
Bai Ye was silent for a moment, then shook his head, his gaze sweeping over Sesshomaru: "Forget it, anyway, I still stand by what I said before, what belongs to oneself is the strongest. External power is always external power. If it doesn't belong to you, no matter how strong it is, you won't be able to unleash its original power."
He knew that it was unlikely he could persuade Sesshomaru at this time. He wouldn't listen to him.
"Then, Sesshomaru, I'll go first. I'm going to find Totosai to forge a sword that belongs to me."
Saying that, Bai Ye got up and left, preparing to find Totosai.
"Young Master Inuyasha Bai Ye, it seems Young Master Sesshomaru doesn't really want to listen to you."
Myoga jumped out of Bai Ye's hair. He had been listening when Bai Ye was lecturing Sesshomaru earlier, and he kept nodding in his heart.
No wonder the Master said that Bai Ye's achievements in the future would definitely be stronger than Sesshomaru's.
Ultimately, Bai Ye had his own path, and he also knew what he wanted, firmly believing that his own path was the strongest, rather than following Inu Daisho's old path.
What if he took the Three Swords of Heaven, Earth, and Man?
He would still be following Inu Daisho's old path, and whether he could surpass Inu Daisho in the end was an unknown.
"It's normal. That guy is very stubborn. Now is not the time for him."
Sesshomaru, who hasn't understood the heart of protection!
Bai Ye was a human in his previous life. Although he was reborn as a demon and became the first child of Inu Daisho and Ayame, he still had the heart of protection of a human, and he would not be as extreme as Sesshomaru.
The current Sesshomaru was walking down his original path.
"It's a pity that the Master is also troubled by this matter now. Originally, the Master wanted to place his hopes on Young Master Inuyasha Bai Ye."
"Let that old man do it himself. Don't throw these things to me!"
Nima!
Isn't this Inu Daisho's own business?
He still wants to throw it to himself?
"Hehe, the Master is probably having a headache over Young Master Sesshomaru. But speaking of which, Young Master Inuyasha Bai Ye, do you know that you're going to have another Otouto?"
Myoga asked tentatively. This news wasn't widely known yet.
Only the demons of Inu no Kuni probably knew that Inu Daisho seemed to be in love with a human woman.
"Don't I know now?"
Inuyasha, huh.
It seems Inu Daisho is not far from death.
"En, the Master is going to leave Tessaiga to him."
Myoga tentatively glanced at Bai Ye. If it were Sesshomaru, he definitely wouldn't have said it. This was also what Inu Daisho told him to tell Bai Ye in advance.
"This old man hasn't even died yet and he's already divided up his property!"
It seems Inu Daisho had already decided, not just before his death.
Instead, he had already thought it through while he was alive.
But thinking about it, Inu Daisho didn't need these three swords and was still a King-level Great Demon.
Tessaiga was a necessity for Inuyasha, but not for Inu Daisho.
"The Master has actually thought it through. Perhaps after these matters are completely resolved, the Master will retire."
At the end, a hint of sadness flashed across Myoga's face.
Inu Daisho had been at war for many years. After he took over, he had been fighting against Shinigami, Ryukotsusei, Leopard Cat Chief, and other Great Demons, never stopping. He was tired and wanted to solve all matters before living with Izayoi and Ayame, no longer concerning himself with these things.
He had arranged everything. Bai Ye, who had his own path and firm beliefs, would inherit Tsumuryuha. He believed Bai Ye could suppress Tsumuryuha. Sesshomaru would inherit Tenseiga. He hoped Sesshomaru could understand what the heart of protection meant. The unborn Hanyo, Inuyasha, would inherit Tessaiga.
The three brothers would each inherit one of his weapons. Myoga knew, Totosai also knew, basically all the old retainers already knew Inu Daisho's arrangements.
"Retiring is fine, but retiring with a human woman, that woman will at most live for a few decades and then die. Loving a human will only hurt oneself. Indeed, only foolish Hanyo would be with humans!"
Bai Ye didn't really agree with this statement at first.
But later, Bai Ye found that after one of his human friends died, his views changed.
It turned out that only foolish Hanyo would truly be with humans.
Because they were demons, their lifespan was much longer than humans.
In this chaotic world, even without considering accidents, even if they lived peacefully to old age, humans in this era generally only lived to about thirty, and a long life was sixty.
Watching his friends gradually grow old, and even becoming so ugly in their old age, wishing him to turn them into demons, at that time Bai Ye also saw clearly that most humans, when facing natural death, seeing their former friends still young, perhaps truly couldn't face it calmly.
And to be friends with humans, one must be prepared for the other party to leave before oneself.
"Ahem, Young Master Inuyasha Bai Ye shouldn't say that. Maybe Young Master Inuyasha Bai Ye will fall in love with a human woman in the future?"
"Me? Sorry, Myoga, you might be disappointed. I don't want to see someone I like die of old age in front of me, so I will never fall in love with a human in this life."
Bai Ye didn't want the person he liked to leave him. Although there was pure gold in the Pirate World, whether he could find it was an unknown.
Moreover, he hadn't been to human places, but he hadn't met anyone who made his heart flutter. After coming to this world, Bai Ye only wanted to cultivate and nothing else.
Only by becoming stronger could he protect everything he wanted to protect.
"By the way, Myoga, what's the situation on the battlefield over there?"
This war was probably the one where the Leopard Cat leader was killed by Inu Daisho. Afterwards, with Inuyasha's birth, first Ryukotsusei, then Setsuna no Takemaru, Inu Daisho just died like that.
In fact, Bai Ye had always thought that Inu Daisho's death was somewhat hasty.
Perhaps he was injured while dealing with Chief?
"The Master currently has the advantage, but Chief's strength cannot be underestimated. The Master is also under a lot of pressure. If Young Master Inuyasha Bai Ye goes to the battlefield, perhaps it can alleviate some of the pressure!"
Myoga actually wanted to persuade Bai Ye to go to the battlefield to help Inu Daisho share some of the pressure.
But before returning, he had received Inu Daisho's order not to persuade Bai Ye. Everything was to be decided by Bai Ye himself. He had grown up, and Inu Daisho no longer wanted to control any of Bai Ye's decisions.
"Is that so? Then go to the battlefield and tell that old man that I will go after I find Totosai and have him forge a weapon for me."
Bai Ye pondered for a moment and finally decided to go to the battlefield.
Since he knew Inu Daisho was going to die, whether it was out of gratitude for so many years of nurturing or to change the plot, Bai Ye had to prevent Inu Daisho's death.
"Then thank you very much, Young Master Inuyasha Bai Ye. Please put me down here. I'll go report to the Master now!"
"En."
"Hey!!! Young Master Inuyasha Bai Ye, put me down!!! Don't just throw me down!!!"
Bai Ye was flying in the air, directly throwing him down from hundreds of meters up. Myoga was on the verge of tears.
He definitely did it on purpose!!!
"Sorry, Myoga, I forgot you can't fly."
""
Did you forget or not? Don't you know in your heart?
Myoga didn't want to say more. His sorrow flowed like a river. Compared to Sesshomaru's violence, Bai Ye's cunning personality seemed to be inherited from his mother, Ayame. Staying with him, he could be tricked at any time.
After dropping Myoga, Bai Ye quickly flew towards Totosai's residence. It wasn't until nightfall, when Bai Ye was about to stop and rest and catch some fish to eat.
Gekko shone on the lake, and a figure slowly sat into the river. Clothes and a long sword were placed on the riverbank. The whole body seemed to emit a sacred spiritual power. Bai Ye looked at the person in front of him and unconsciously murmured: "Miko?"
