The genius of Naruto is a bit ordinary.

After arranging everything for his retreat, Xia Li randomly found a location under the oasis, opened up a cave and walked in.

"I didn't expect that I had established an organization..." Xia Li looked at the sky that never saw daylight.

Xia Li also knew why he accepted Ulquiorra's words and became the leader of this organization.

Because, as time went by, he seemed to be drifting further and further away from Soul Society.

Once Xia Li's affairs were exposed, whether it was the hollowization of his Zanpakutō or his unauthorized entry into the Great Spirit Book Corridor, it would be enough to make him a traitor to Soul Society.

Even though it would be difficult to execute him directly given his strength, it is still possible to lock him up in the Maou Underground Prison for hundreds or thousands of years.

Will Xia Li accept such a punishment? Obviously not...

Xia Li didn't think about it anymore. He actually didn't bother to care about the affairs of this world, but this time he just found a way out for himself.

Shaking his head, Xia Li sat cross-legged on the stone bed, placed Mingjing Shisui on his legs, closed his eyes and entered the Zanpakuto space.

"You're here."

At this time, Ming Jing Zhi Shui looked at Xia Li and said respectfully.

Xia Li looked at the somewhat weird Ming Jing Zhi Shui in front of him and smiled, "I thought you might have more to say to me."

The woman in palace dress looked at Xia Li and smiled, "There's no need for that. There will be other opportunities in the future."

Xia Li nodded and looked at Ming Jing Zhi Shui, "Shall we start now?"

Ming Jing Shisui nodded, and then in this Zanpakutō space, Ming Jing Shisui, who should have always existed, suddenly disappeared in front of Xia Li, and then...

A terrifying suction force emanated from Xia Li's Zanpakuto, continuously demanding more spiritual power from Xia Li.

Xia Li felt it a little bit. With his control over his own strength, Ming Jing Shi Shui could not absorb any spiritual power from him as long as he didn't want to.

So, it’s not like it can’t be ended once it’s started.

However, the strength of this demand can be used to forcibly demand some powers from beings that do not have much control over them.

Then, Xia Li released the restrictions on his spiritual power, and suddenly, it seemed as if endless spiritual power rushed into the clear mirror and still water.

At the same time, within the Hueco Mundo, a terrifying stream of spiritual energy was flowing towards the direction where Xia Li was.

Xia Li was unaware of what was happening outside. At this moment, Xia Li was too lazy to care what was happening outside. His mind was still immersed in the space of his Zanpakuto.

Xia Li looked at the empty Zanpakuto space. In the past, there was always a familiar figure waiting for him here, but now he has disappeared. He didn't know whether the other party would come back in the future.

Afterwards, Xia Li also had a Mingjing Zhishui in his hand.

In fact, during this period of seclusion, Ming Jing Zhi Shui's main concern was that she was now absorbing Xia Li's spiritual power while in her sleep.

There is actually not much that Xia Li needs to do. He only needs to provide spiritual power to Mingjing Zhishui. If he feels bored, he can also choose to fall into a deep sleep like Mingjing Zhishui and let his body's instincts carry out the process automatically.

However, Xia Li did not choose to do so, but chose to practice kendo in the Zanpakuto space.

At this moment, within the Zanpakuto space, even though it was only Xia Li's spirit body, it seemed to have entered the state of Mingjing Shisui's heart.

There is no feeling of emptiness at all for the time that keeps passing!

Over time, Xia Li seemed to have gradually forgotten the passage of time and devoted himself to kendo.

Outside, Stark and his companions felt the flow of spiritual energy in the space and were all shocked.

Xia Li had just started his retreat when this flow of spiritual energy appeared.

Obviously, it is self-evident who caused this flow of spiritual energy that affected the entire Hueco Mundo.

Stark and Ulquiorra looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly, because if Xia Li was in seclusion there, then they couldn't change their positions.

This flow of spiritual power obviously exposed their location completely, and many virtual beings would probably follow this flow of spiritual power to find them later.

However, Stark, Ulquiorra and Harribel were not too worried.

Because, even if there are only three of them here, they will not be afraid of anyone.

Ulquiorra had even defeated the 'King of Hueco Mundo' before, and even though the number of fighters here was small, their quality was ridiculously high.

Therefore, several people are no longer worried. They just need to be prepared to accept the impact of large-scale virtual attacks.

And just as the three of them thought, before even the next day, many ghosts had already smelled the scent of spiritual power and rushed to the location of the Akatsuki organization.

However, most of those who came here were low-level Killian-level Hollows.

As for the lower-level Hollows, they were probably devoured before they even reached the vicinity of the Akatsuki organization?

Just as these Great Hollows came to the vicinity of Akatsuki, wanting to rush into Akatsuki and find the place where the spiritual power flow gathered, an extremely terrifying spiritual pressure erupted from within Akatsuki.

Even under this spiritual pressure, several Hollows that rushed towards the Akatsuki organization were frightened to death before they could even take a single step.

The one who took action was naturally Stark, as he was the most skilled in this kind of thing.

However, in the past, Stark could not control his spiritual pressure, so he had no choice but to do it. But now, Stark can control his spiritual pressure well and does it on his own initiative!

After all, from the way those Great Voids rushed in, it could be seen that they did not have much intelligence and definitely did not meet their standards for recruiting companions.

Harribel also suggested showing mercy, but Stark and Ulquiorra both believed that they needed to release the pressure with thundering means to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, so as to prevent more hollows from daring to approach the Akatsuki organization.

In the end, Harribel didn't say much. After all, she was alone. Although she had three companions, they were not official members of the Akatsuki organization and did not have their own votes.

Therefore, Harribel could only watch this happen.

Then, Stark's approach also achieved obvious results. After that incident, most of the Hollows no longer dared to approach the Akatsuki organization and fled everywhere.

However, this scene did not last long.

Because those great hollows found that as long as they did not enter the Akatsuki organization and only stayed outside the Akatsuki organization, the Akatsuki organization would not care about their affairs. So, many great hollows began to settle here.

The reason is naturally the high concentration of spiritual power. This is Xia Li's fault, because Xia Li is still constantly absorbing spiritual power like a whale.

Therefore, a tide of spiritual power began to appear around Xia Li, and the closer to Xia Li, the higher the concentration of spiritual power.

For Daxu, the importance of spiritual power concentration is self-evident.

Within the Akatsuki organization, where the concentration of spiritual energy is the highest, Stark, Ulquiorra and Harribel are also beneficiaries.

Among them, Stark and Ulquiorra have made greater progress, while Harribel seems to have reached her limit. Her potential may be difficult to improve before she completes the Arrancar.

However, how easy is it to break the carnage?

Stark completed the Arrancar by accident, and his innate spiritual power is enough to directly crush the Hollow that approaches him, even so.

The purpose of Stark's initial formation of an Arrancar was to lower his own strength. If he had not met Xia Li and the others, perhaps Stark would have remained in a state of reduced strength to face everything.

Now, Stark, whose soul has been restored, has begun to realize his potential, and his strength is improving faster than Ulquiorra's.

The same was true for Ulquiorra. After being excluded by his "companions", he also broke the mask once by chance, but it was not completely removed.

After meeting Xia Li and Stark, he began to pursue the real Arrancar.

Since Ulquiorra had broken the mask once at the beginning, the difficulty of breaking the mask later was greatly reduced.

Therefore, Harribel neither has Stark's innate high concentration of spiritual pressure nor Ulquiorra's acquired fortune, so it is conceivable how difficult it would be for her to complete the Arrancar.

Even if Harribel could ask Stark and Ulquiorra for advice, she still hadn't figured out how to become an Arrancar.

Becoming an Arrancar is definitely not just about taking off the mask!

In addition, Harribel is also responsible for another task within the Akatsuki organization.

Because Stark discovered that although Harribel was relatively taciturn, she was actually quite cautious in her actions, and she actually attached great importance to her three companions.

Later, Harribel became an examiner for new companions who wanted to join the Akatsuki organization, and her level of seriousness and responsibility was indeed very high.

However, it is a pity that even with examiners, there are very few real companions that can be recruited.

This is because there are indeed very few Hollows with extremely high levels of intelligence, and only Hollows at the level of Vastod basically possess extraordinary wisdom.

However, a Vastod-level Hollow is also the highest level Hollow. When Xia Li was searching for such a long time, he only found Stark by luck. This shows how rare a Vastod-level Hollow is.

Not only Vastrod, there are also very few Great Hollows at the level of Achukas, and among the Great Hollows at the level of Achukas, there are also many who possess wisdom.

But the problem is that having one's own wisdom and ideas does not necessarily meet the recruitment requirements of the Akatsuki organization.

Even most of the Great Hollows at the level of Achukas do not meet the requirements they set, because their minds are still seriously influenced by the idea of ​​falling into Hollows.

Sometimes, after finding out the other party's thoughts, Harribel couldn't help but want to keep the other party here, well, to truly "stay" on this land.

Therefore, if such a great hollow were to join the Akatsuki organization, one can imagine the chaos that would be caused.

Fortunately, Harribel also knew that if she took action during this kind of assessment, it would have a bad impact on the Akatsuki organization, so she finally let them go.

However, this type of Great Hollow Harribel is not allowed to live around the Akatsuki organization, because they are worried that they will cause trouble nearby.

Of course, where there are some that do not conform, there are naturally some that do conform.

Next are the Hollows at the Killian level, and even fewer of them... are capable of normal thinking.

It should be said that except for those who don't like fighting, most of the Hollows who can think normally at this level can become Hollows of the Achukas level over time.

This lowest level of Great Void is basically a group of creatures that only have the fallen instincts of Void, evil, greed, etc...

Even fewer qualified people are recruited at this level.

Harribel sighed, feeling that it was really troublesome to face all kinds of Hollows. It was the first time she saw such a large number of Hollows.

Of course, Akatsuki does not recruit Hollows every day.

After all, Heribel also needs to practice, so she usually starts the assessment after a period of time, when there are many Hollows who have signed up.

As for those responsible for collecting the registration list, it was naturally Harribel's three companions.

However, there are also some short-sighted Hollows who think that Harribel's three companions are too weak and bully them...

For this kind of blind and brainless big Xu, the answer given by Heribel is... to grind the opponent into ashes.

Although at the beginning Harribel did not want to gain power by killing others to make herself stronger, but now it is not for power, but for her companions.

Influenced by Stark and Ulquiorra, Harribel also realized that some things are necessary. It is not that if you don't kill the other party, they will be grateful to you. On the contrary, they will probably think about how to retaliate against you!

This is Harribel's monotonous and busy life.

Ulquiorra, he didn’t have the same problem as Harribel, but he was also constantly trying to control his own power, and he was almost successful.

Then, due to the rapid increase in the concentration of spiritual energy caused by Xia Li's retreat, Ulquiorra's own spiritual pressure also increased rapidly.

The problem this brings is that it becomes more difficult for Ulquiorra to fully control his own power.

However, Ulquiorra never gave up. He really wanted to go to the real world and try to find out what Xia Li told him about his heart.

As for the last Stark, his story was basically the same as Ulquiorra's, constantly trying to control his own spiritual pressure.

Moreover, Stark seems to be progressing faster than Ulquiorra, but Stark is not working as hard as Ulquiorra.

Because there was no need for Stark to show up in the world, he put more energy into cultivating his spiritual pressure in order to become stronger. Not to mention surpassing Xia Li, but at least to avoid being left too far behind by the other party again.

The Akatsuki organization continued to operate in this way without suffering any major crisis.

It’s not that there are no Great Hollows eyeing the Akatsuki organization, but because there are three Great Hollows of the Vastold level in charge, it is indeed as stable as an old dog!
