Hueco Mundo.
A black space hole suddenly appeared.
Then, Xia Li appeared in the desert wearing a death tyrant outfit with a petite cute animal on her shoulders.
Xia Li looked at this familiar desert. After a few days, she still didn't want to come here. There was no scenery at all in Hueco Mundo. It was always a sky shrouded in darkness and a barren and lifeless land.
But Xia Li didn't come here for a trip. Soon, Xia Li's spiritual power exploded and she started singing at the same time.
"The heart of the south, the pupil of the north, the fingertips of the west, and the toes of the east gather together with the wind and disperse by driving away the rain! Fifty-eight of the Binding Dao - Slap your toes to chase the sparrow!"
As Xia Li finished singing the words of the ghost path, a white spiritual power rose into the sky and flew in one direction.
And Stark's location also appeared in Xia Li's mind.
Binding Dao No. 58 - Slapping the toes to chase the bird is to track and capture the opponent's position based on the opponent's spiritual pressure.
Of course, the premise is that the other party does not hide his spiritual pressure. This is why Xia Li specifically told Stark not to hide his spiritual pressure before returning to Soul Society.
Each individual's spiritual pressure is unique, and this is true for both Shinigami and Kyon.
Therefore, Xia Li only needed to input Stark's spiritual pressure, and as long as the location was displayed, he would not find the wrong person.
"Huh? It seems quite far away..." Xia Li could not help but say as she sensed Stark's position.
This is not surprising, after all, he has been away for more than a month.
Without the influence of other things, Stark's speed is also very fast.
Moreover, his enthusiasm for finding companions was also inspired by Xia Li, which also resulted in him not slowing down.
"Are you in good condition?" Xia Li rubbed the moon elf's little head and asked.
"Gula~" the moon elf replied with narrowed eyes.
"Really? It's much better than when I came here for the first time. That's good." Xia Li nodded with satisfaction, but had no intention of letting the moon elf use space transfer.
Don't bother the moon elf with this short journey, let him rest well. Maybe it won't be long before the moon elf takes him back to the living world.
Then, Xia Li walked towards the direction of Stark.
Xia Li's figure seemed to be flashing in this sea of sand, and Xia Li himself seemed to be taking a leisurely stroll, but...
Every time he takes a step, his figure will appear far away, with a magical posture that shrinks into an inch.
Unfortunately, this is still a quick step, and his body has never really disappeared. It's just that the speed is too fast, and people can't see the movement process in between.
Using this level of instant step in a space filled with spiritual power like Hueco Mundo would consume a lot of money for an ordinary Shinigami, but for Xia Li, the wasted spiritual power is not as fast as the recovery.
For a long time, Xia Li looked at the sea of trees in front of her. These dead trees were not made of wood, but made of quartz.
This seems to be the outer circle of Hueco Mundo? Xia Li is not sure...
And Stark is still deeper.
Xia Li did not hesitate and walked towards the depths of the sea of trees.
Finally, Xia Li stopped in front of a strange white bush. In his perception, Stark was in this white bush.
Moreover, at this time, there seemed to be another figure with equally huge spiritual pressure beside Stark.
"Did Stark really find another companion while I was away? And it turned out to be a Vastod-level Daxu?" Xia Li was a little surprised, and without hesitation, she walked into the white bushes.
Soon, Xia Li saw Stark over there, and the human-sized void opposite Stark.
The opponent was completely different from an ordinary Hollow. His body surface was all white. There seemed to be only a pair of ordinary eyes under the big Hollow mask on his face, not even the normal Hollow glowing eyes and mouth.
At this time, Stark seemed to be confronting this strange white void.
"Huh? Xia Li, are you back?" Stark also saw Xia Li's arrival at this time, and was a little surprised.
The white humanoid Daxu also saw Xia Li, with a vigilant look in his eyes.
"Well, I just came here not long ago, who is this?" Xia Li looked at Bai Daxu.
"Ulquiorra Cifer, I just found the Great Void who can be our companion." Stark said.
"But it seems that the other party doesn't appreciate it very much?" Xia Li said while looking at the spiritual pressure released from the other party.
"Companion?" At this time, Ulquiorra spoke, and an emotionless voice came from him.
Because there was no mouth on his face, it was impossible to tell where the sound came from.
"Yes, even if you are a companion, you must also be lonely, right? Ulquiorra, after all, you also have this level of spiritual pressure. If the surrounding Hollows approach you, they will be directly oppressed to death by your spiritual pressure, right?" Shi Tucker asked.
"Loneliness? Companions? What do you mean? And if the spiritual pressure is strong, wouldn't it be better to control it?" Ulquiorra's doubtful voice sounded again.
Suddenly, Stark was choked. He didn't expect that Ulquiorra could control his spiritual pressure freely...
"Do you think that every Daxu is born with powerful spiritual pressure like you but doesn't know how to control it?" At this time, Xia Li was also a little funny and said.
Stark was a little embarrassed when he heard this.
However, compared to having another companion, this embarrassment was nothing, and he began to explain to Ulquiorra.
"Loneliness is like your situation before I came. You are the only one living here without a companion. This feeling is very uncomfortable."
"As for companions, they are friends or people traveling with you, who can chat with you when you are lonely...probably."
In fact, Stark himself was not quite able to understand this, but he just said it according to his own thoughts.
"Is that so?" Ulquiorra thought.
"Don't you feel uncomfortable being alone?" Stark felt a little unconfident at this time.
"No, and there were other 'companions' around me before, but because I looked different from them, I was ostracized by them, so I left directly, and then came here to live alone. I I don’t feel the same way you do,” Ulquiorra said truthfully. Stark scratched his head and then looked at Xia Li, wanting to ask for help.
In his opinion, Xia Li should know more than him.
"Those you mentioned are not companions, or they do not regard you as companions. Real companions refer to people who have a common goal together." Xia Li also said at this time.
"Oh." Ulquiorra nodded, and then seemed to be thinking, as if he was very interested in these things that were new to him.
Xia Li continued to speak at this time, "And Stark is a person who lacks companions. Since he was born, due to his powerful spiritual pressure, no Hollow can get close to him. As a result, he has only one person. people, so he desperately wants more companions.”
Ulquiorra nodded half-knowingly, then looked at Stark and said, "So he wants me to be his companion?"
"Yes." Stark nodded.
Ulquiorra seemed to be thinking about something, but Stark and Xia Li were not in a hurry to say anything.
Xia Li looked at Ulquiorra at this time. He was quite familiar with this name. Isn't this the one in his memory who mastered the second stage of the return blade and had a peak battle with Kurosaki Ichigo in the future? Guy?
Xia Li didn't expect to meet him here.
In the original work, he was able to confirm that Stark and Ulquiorra had never met before meeting Aizen. From this point of view, he still had some influence.
Moreover, after this, will Stark and Ulquiorra choose to become the Ten Blades under Aizen?
The impact of this on Aizen...
Well, Xia Li actually doesn't think that missing a few subordinates will have any impact on Aizen, even if Stark and Ulquiorra are very powerful swordsmen.
Aizen's power in the original work does not refer to how powerful his power is, but just how powerful he is as a person.
Kyoka Suigetsu is not necessarily a very powerful Zanpakuto, but its owner happens to be Aizen.
Moreover, the most important thing is that Aizen has never used the power of swastika from beginning to end. Xia Li remembers this very clearly. After all, in the death circle, many people have speculated about Aizen's swastika ability and why Aizen didn't Use swastika.
Some people speculate that Aizen's swastika is actually just an enlarged version of the original swastika, so it seems that it is not used, but it is actually used...
Some people speculate that after Aizen releases his swastika, he will be able to remove the illusion effect of Kyoka Suigetsu, which is definitely not worth it for Aizen.
After all, it can be said that the entire Jing Ling Ting has fallen into his illusion. As long as he doesn't want to solve it, they will be trapped in the illusion for the rest of their lives. It is obviously not worth using Swastika to solve this illusion.
Xia Li also doesn't know Aizen's swastika. The other captains of the Gotei 13 still remember him as using a flowing water Zanpakutō...
However, with Xia Li's current understanding of Zanpakutō.
The first release is actually not the power of the Zanpakutō, but the power of the Shinigami himself, and Aizen's first release Kyoka Suigetsu represents the opponent's own illusion level.
Even without a Zanpakutō, the opponent should be able to use this kind of power.
As for Aizen's swastika, Xia Li didn't want to guess. Since the opponent couldn't use it, then he shouldn't use it. His side, Ming Jing Shisui's swastika had actually only been used so far, that is, when he was fighting Unohana. Only used once.
With Xia Li's fighting habits, he still has to rely on his own strength in battle. The swastika represents the power that the Zanpakutō evolved after absorbing enough spiritual power from the Shinigami.
Although generally speaking, the city is closely related to Shikai, but in fact it can only be regarded as the ability of the Zanpakutō, not the ability of the Shinigami itself.
Unless, those Shinigami can return to their swords and fuse the Zanpakuto's ability with themselves.
As for this matter, it is obvious that those gods of death cannot do it, and it is also what Xia Li is pursuing now.
"If I join you, do I need to become like you?" Ulquiorra suddenly asked after thinking for a while.
"Of course not." Stark replied immediately. In fact, as far as he knew, it was quite difficult to gain an ability like Arrancar.
"Don't you need it?" Ulquiorra nodded. He actually didn't care much about this.
Just as he was alone in this white jungle, he didn't feel any discomfort.
It can be said that there is a big difference between Ulquiorra and Stark. It is difficult for him to feel the emotion of loneliness, and he even does not even know what the emotion of loneliness is.
However, Ulquiorra was very curious about what Stark and Xia Li said.
Therefore, he didn't mind following them to find out what he was curious about.
"Can you become like us?" Xia Li stared at Ulquiorra and asked.
"It seems possible." Ulquiorra nodded, and then said, "When I came here, my mask was scratched by the surrounding trees, and it seemed to have become the same as yours, but the back part My mask came back on its own.”
"That's it, then you can try to break through your own mask with your own strength. In this way, your strength may be greatly improved." Xia Li said at this time.
Xia Li was also a little surprised at this time. Ulquiorra had obviously reached the edge of breaking through on his own. Xia Li thought that only Stark was a special case, but he didn't expect that Ulquiorra was almost the same.
Moreover, Ulquiorra has not yet completely completed the Arrancar, which means that Xia Li has the opportunity to fully observe the entire process of Ulquiorra's Arrancar.
This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Xia Li. Xu owns Arrancar and has the power of a god of death, which is of great reference to Xia Li.
"Okay." Ulquiorra nodded when he heard this and did not refuse.
"Do you agree to leave with us?" At this time, Stark also reacted.
"Well, I want to know what it feels like to have a companion, and how it is different from my current life." Ulquiorra's answer was full of rationality and a hint of curiosity.
"Great!" Stark smiled and nodded.
Xia Li, who was next to him, nodded thoughtfully. Stark, the first Daxu to break through on his own, was afraid of loneliness.
Ulquiorra, who had the potential to break through on his own, was now like a child who knew nothing, full of curiosity about the outside world and things he didn't understand.
Xia Li originally wanted to leave after helping Stark find a companion.
But now that we have met Ulquiorra, a Daxu who might be able to break through on his own, it would be a good idea to stay here and continue to observe the two of them.
Xia Li also made a decision at this time. (End of chapter)
