Chapter 246: Zanpakuto and Dao Comprehension
Since that day…
Tatstuki completely disappeared from the face of the earth. Neither her parents nor her friends knew where she was…
…Only one message was left.
"I have some things to do."
"I will come back sometime later."
10 days later…
Hueco Mundo.
In the blue portal opened by the Emperor slight ripples could be seen. As the silhouette of a middle aged man and a little back cat made their way in.
Urahara had already finished training Ichigo, while Yoruichi also finished her work with Chad and Orihime.
Before beginning to work on the portal to the Soul Society, they came to see how the unusually silent for a while Emperor was doing.
Marek was sitting tightly…
Not cultivating anymore….He already confirmed what he wanted to. With the help of the Library of the Imperial Path it was as easy as a breaze to figure it out, everything that, Urahara and Aizen hadn't figured out.
He could come back here anytime he wanted. Now he was keenly observing, the progress of this cheeky brat.
After all…The results here could become crucial in his Perfected Soul Society. While with the results of the Imperial Path. It wouldn't deviate from predictions. He didn't plunder 'all the Information about Soul Cultivation yet, nor all the information about Shinigami, Hollow and Quincy.
The result was interesting.
Because…What this girl was becoming isn't something Shinigami could become.
After all…She didn't possess any Shinigami powers. She was not dead yet and nobody had gave her Shinigami powers.
He could make her a Shinigami if he wanted too. After all, Shinigami are merely dead souls, entering a certain power system.
But as he explained to Urahara Earlier that system is good but not good enough.
The Shinigami system could be explored alone and could be perfected with Soul Cultivation.
But in turn the Soul Cultivation itself could be perfect to attain a Higher Level with the Reiraku of the Shingami System.
The problem of turning one soul into a Desolate Beast would be resolved.
As one Soul could be refined and reinforced with pure Reiroku from the Soul itself. It's size becoming not a limit but an advantage.
And that is what he was working on here. After all…The Emperor himself didn't intend on becoming a Shingami in the first place. But Cultivation was something he couldn't abandon.
Because…of one reason.
Dao.
It is a force he already began to feel while attaining the Sage Mode. But he couldn't get a hold off right away.
Of course sheer force and comprehension are too different things. Even if the Venerables posses monstrous Dao Understanding beyond anything the Emperor ever achieved it doesn't mean he would lose to them.
By virtue of his immense strength and imperial bloodline. No Venerable could resist him.
Actually, he would win. In a contest of strength that is.
But Dao can sublimate one existence.
'The way of Dao, huh…'
After staying with her for sometime now and through the analysis of the library…He already came to some realizations…
'Dao…It exists here too…'
Of course anywhere in the Mulitverse Dao will always exist. What he meant, that the power of Dao Comprehension exists here too.
Only…
'What an ingenious Shortcut, the Zanpakuto is…'
The Shinigami play an enormous role in the maintenance of the Equilibrium of the World.
They ensure the world as it is now…Doesn't collapse.
It also means that the Shingami and Hollow both have the favor of the Will of this world.
Isn't weird…How Zanapakuto seem to instinctively 'know' their own powers and techniques?
Like they were born with that comprehension…
The Asauchi and the Zanapkuto both are vessels…Vessel that the Will of the World itself use to impart Dao Comprehension on a part of the Souls of the Shingami.
The Zanpakuto itself absorbs comprehension from the will of the world, as the representative of one's soul. The Zanapuko itself is a sort of split soul refinded into a vessel used to mediate between the Heavens and the Shinigami. The Reiroku is a fuel for that vessel.
The More the Reiraku of the Soul is powerful, the more profound one's comprehension is.
This way the Zanpakuto Spirit is formed, a new consciouness born form the origin of the Shingami himself. A carrier of the Dao.
The Shinigami only then has to work to comprehend his own Zanpakuto spirit. To understand 'his name'.
It is a much easier process, than the extremely difficult path of comprehending one's own path true sheer confrontation in front of the Dao.
But here is the problem…What happens when one's comprehension reaches the Ceiling that it is this World's Dao?
And the Ceiling that is that world Dao has a name…And it's the Bankai.
One could attune his Bankai with training and Sheer spiritual Power.
But one comprehension would end here.
From here on…One would not need to rely on his Zanpakuto but himself.
Maybe that's the reason why…In the stage beyond Shingami and Hollow found by Aizen one Zanapkuto would fuse with one's hand.
Signifying that the new stage…Need not only the participation of the Zanpakuto but also the Shingami himself.
Thinking about all this he had a proud smirk as he observed the two. Who didn't even bother talking to him.
Their eyes were plastered on a cross-legged figure atop of the Mountain.
Urahara touched his hat slightly as he exclaimed:
"Oy, Oy…Just what I am witnessing…"
Yoruichi spoke to the Emperor:
"Did you really have to go that far…?"
Indeed…The Emperor lent his own eye powers to Tatsuki. The same Rinnegan that could bring this whole world to it's knees just by it's most minimal powers was lent just like that. Only...They didn't know...
That what the Rinnegan was analyzing wasn't the Reatsu. But the portrayal of the Heavens through a certain library.
Marek sighed:
"It's only normal…Cultivating the Dao is much more difficult than simple meditation."
"One would need hundred and thousands if not millions of years, to have some meaningful accomplishments in those fields."
"If she were cultivating only her Reatsu without attainments, she would never reach the required level."
"And that wouldn't be cultivating anyway merely accumulating power…It would be meaningless."
"Without opportunities and fortune it would normally be impossible to have the same attainment as a Captain in Soul Path."
He sneered:
"But that's essentially because the Shinigami are using shortcuts themselves."
Hs continued to speak his tone indifferent:
"My Pupils have analytical abilities and hypnotic abilities that could make this path much shorter…"
"Yet if only that could make one understand the Dao…It would have been comprehended easily."
"To understand fully…One would need to other two things…Talent and Wisdom."
"But in the end it only depends on her."
"I only gave her an opportunity. My eye power will last her for the 20 incoming days."
"If she didn't attain the Master attainment in these incoming days. She would not be allowed to come to the Soul Society."
Tatsuki didn't even seem to hear the conversation between the two. The moment the Emperor gave her this mysterious power. She felt that the whole world become suddenly much clearer. She understand a kind of second state… In front of her a mysterious book was unfolding.
Dao rhythm dancing in it. And she seemed engorged, incapable of lifting her eyes.
As she seemed to be slowly be aware of something that exists beyond what her eyes could see. One second could go as fast as an instant or could last for an eternity. Her senses seemed to have truly transcended.
