Rencarnation Room {Other Story line}

In El's subconscious, which now took the form of a vast sea of blood, the sky was dark with red clouds and a red moon reminiscent of his Rinnegan pattern.

However, this place felt more perfect and structured than before.

This sea of blood now not only looked vast, but also more alive, like a reflection of the power he had always controlled, Rinnegan.

However, what made this subconscious even more different was the appearance of several islands in the distance.

Even now it was filled with red Spider Lilies that floated above the surface of the sea of blood, drifting slowly, forming a gloomy yet alluring scene. Beauty and horror were intermingled in this place.

At this moment, El was sitting in the canal that contained this sea of blood, but he was not alone. Beside him, there was Sasuke, Yuri, and a very familiar looking Tanjiro Kanado.

But, the Tanjiro here was not the Tanjiro that many people knew.

Tanjiro is now more mature, with long flowing hair, a more mature and experienced version.

Tanjiro's existence in El's subconscious is no coincidence. He appeared thanks to one of El's Special Skills, Enhanced Smell.

This skill grants an unusually keen sense of smell, evolving along with the owner's understanding.

Not just smelling odors, but also sensing the scent of things beyond the normal range of perception, such as intentions, feelings, and even the flow of thoughts of other creatures, including insects and birds.

Even the subtlest of scents cannot escape its smell. It can track a person's location with terrifying accuracy, even from a great distance.

Her sense of smell is keen enough to detect the Opening Thread, a brief pause in an enemy's movement that creates an opening to attack.

At its highest state, Enhanced Smell develops to a level beyond normal.

This sense of smell not only detects scents, but is also able to predict up to six moves ahead, reading a person's intentions and actions just from the subtle changes in their body scent.

In fact, this ability is not limited to living beings. El can read the intentions and mechanisms of inanimate objects, such as Yoriichi Type Zero, as if they had their own scent trails that could be interpreted.

Basically, this Special Skill involves soul grafting between the current owner and the previous owner.

As a result, El's soul has been grafted with Tanjiro's, creating Tanjiro's existence within his subconscious.

This connection is so strong that it allows Tanjiro to exist in El's subconscious, not as an illusion, but as a reflection of their now interconnected consciousnesses.

Now, in this subconscious, the four of them sat together, although each of them carried different feelings. There was silence, but they didn't just sit there in silence.

Without saying a word, they looked at the two scrolls in front of them.

One scroll contained the Path of Poem Cultivation Method, while the other scroll contained the Wind Burning Qi Method, Intermediate Xuan Level.

"So how is it?" asked El, raising his head and looking at one by one, Tanjiro, Yuri, and Sasuke in turn, his sharp eyes showing deep interest.

"Wind Burning Qi Method, Intermediate Xuan Level... It's similar to the Path of Poem Cultivation Method, isn't it?" continued El, trying to find similarities between the two techniques.

"In my opinion, the two can be combined, what do you think?" asked El, asking for their opinions.

Tanjiro, who was sitting on the other side of the canal, looked doubtful. "I... don't understand," he said with a strained face, cold sweat starting to run down his forehead, struggling to grasp the bigger picture.

Sasuke, who had been calmer, watched the two scrolls carefully.

"These two techniques, perhaps they can be combined. Seeing similar patterns, as you said," Sasuke said, full of deep thought. "The result, I think could be quite amazing."

Yuri just observed them, not giving much comment, but there was clearly concern in the gaze, as if hiding something.

The three young men finally looked at Yuri simultaneously, sensing something hidden in her demeanor.

Yuri smiled slightly, seeing the change in their behavior, before finally speaking. "Hihi, well, your master will tell you the truth."

"Basically, the Path of Poem is a profound cultivation method. Everyone in the sect eventually delves into the Path of Poem in their own way," Yuri said, still maintaining his mysterious smile.

El's eyes closed slightly, digesting those words. "That means..." he said, seemingly realizing something Yuri had just said.

"Exactly!" cut in Yuri excitedly, confirming El's guess. "The Path of Poem can also be combined with otherworldly Cultivation Methods since it doesn't give any attributes at the beginning."

El was silent for a moment, her mind spinning, trying to understand the reasoning behind Yuri's words.

Before El could speak further, Yuri continued with a more serious voice. "For the reason, simply put... The Path of Poem Master method was created from the various worlds he had visited."

Yuri looked at El and the others for a moment, then continued, "You've seen the Loki series, right? About TVA? Time Variation Authority? Essentially, my current master, or you could say your Ancestor is the same class as Loki, God of Multiverse."

The words hung in the air, as if opening up space for a greater understanding of the origins and infinite possibilities of the Path of Poem.

A moment later, El smiled faintly, as if a new understanding was beginning to form within her.

In the next second, his eyes transformed, turning into a purple Rinnegan with a ripple pattern like water dripping on a pond, adorned with six rapidly spinning tomoe.

With a focused thought, El activated her Rinnegan's Eye of Insight, focusing on the two scrolls in front of him.

El's gaze immediately went to the two scrolls, and without hesitation, he tried to combine the patterns in the text to create a new Cultivation Method.

"Thank you for your help," El said, his eyes continuing to watch the two Scrolls in turn, voice soft yet determined. "Sorry to interrupt."

"Hn," Sasuke replied to El's words, just nodding his head while closing his eyes, remaining calm as always.

"No problem," Tanjiro said with his trademark smile, warm and genuine.

"For my most handsome student, your master will always help. Even cooling the bed is fine." said Yuri with a mischievous smile, making an unexpected statement.

Those words made El and Sasuke let out a long breath, refraining from reacting further. Tanjiro, on the other hand, could only smile awkwardly, his face breaking out in a cold sweat from Yuri's unexpected comment.

Moments later, El breathed a sigh of relief, exhaustion clearly visible on his face. Combining the text patterns of two different scrolls to achieve harmony was no easy feat.

"Finally done," he muttered, staring at the piece of paper in his hand.

On the paper was written a new cultivation method, the result of combining two techniques from different worlds.

This paper itself emerged not from the real world, but a part of El's subconscious, a dreamlike space where his imagination could manifest anything he put his mind to.

Both this canal, the scrolls, and everything around him were manifestations of his own consciousness.

"Master," El said, handing the paper to Yuri. "Give me your assessment. I call it the Samsara Mantra."

Yuri took it with an interested expression, while Tanjiro and Sasuke slightly changed their positions, curious about the fruits of their alter ego's labor.

"I... don't understand the meaning," Tanjiro said, frowning. "It's... writing from ancient times, isn't it?"

Sasuke looked at the paper sharply. "The writing is like garbage. It's really bad."

"Hihi~," Yuri giggled amusedly, enjoying this moment. "Even if you fit the Path of Poem... your writing is so bad! It looks like a worm in heat!"

El sighed heavily, closing his eyes for a moment to calm down. "Please don't tease me. Just tell me-"

Ding!

Suddenly, El's words were cut short by a notification that appeared along with the Ability List Screen in the next second.

[Beyonder with Serial Number 120,000 has combined two Cultivation Methods from different Worlds to achieve harmony!]

El stared at his creation with slightly furrowed brows.

"Why does this method actually increase Special Eye Potential? Does that mean Rinnegan? And Spiritual Absorption?" said El in a flurry of thoughts. "What is the Dao of Live and Death...?"

Originally, El had only focused on increasing the Capacity, Quality, Circulation, and Absorption of natural Dou Qi. However, these few aspects that appeared were clearly not part of his plan.
