The genius of Naruto is a bit ordinary.

Hueco Mundo.

When Aizen was sealed, the few remaining Arrancar here also lost their leader.

Even the former king of Hueco Mundo, Bylergan, died in this battle.

Naturally, the Xuye Palace organization was disbanded at this time, leaving only a few big and small cats scattered around.

Of course, some Arrancar have also targeted Akatsuki, another powerful organization in Hueco Mundo. It can be said that...

In their impression, the Akatsuki organization is even more powerful than the previous Kyonyakū.

However, the requirements for joining the Akatsuki organization were too high, and they were not qualified to join, so they had to settle for the next best thing and chose the Kyonakyu Palace.

Now, they have completed their Arrancars and are far more powerful than before.

Although Akatsuki's recruitment requirements do not seem to value strength, they believe that as long as they are strong enough, they will definitely be able to join Akatsuki.

This theory cannot be said to be wrong. If they are stronger than anyone else, then even Xia Li will not be able to stop them from joining in.

Unfortunately, it is obvious that their strength cannot reach that level. Otherwise, they would not need to join other organizations and could just establish one of their own.

So, when they came to the Akatsuki organization with an arrogant attitude and severely damaged some of the more obedient and non-self-aware Hollows who had settled near the Akatsuki organization, they were angrily targeted by Nilu.

Although these rule-abiding Hollows have no self-awareness, it is not impossible for them to develop consciousness. So they may be her future companions. How could they be bullied by these sudden Arrancars?

Afterwards, after they stated their purpose, Ni Lu drove them out without any explanation and gave them a scolding.

Their strength is indeed stronger than that of Hollows without Arrancar, but they are equally weak to a being like Nel who is a large Hollow Arrancar of the level of Vastold.

Later, some Arrancar held a grudge against her and did not dare to cause trouble for Nel, but they targeted the unconscious Hollows.

As a result, before they could succeed, they were discovered by Ni Lu, who did not hold back and completely destroyed them.

This was not because Nel discovered their plan in advance, but because Ulquiorra reminded her of it after learning about it.

After Ulquiorra's return, Stark's previous task of expelling some of the Hollows with evil intentions was handed over to him, because Ulquiorra was more suitable for this kind of task that requires more observation.

And Ulquiorra did a really good job. Many Hollows who had developed vague consciousness successfully joined the Akatsuki organization through his vision and became members of the organization.

However, not all Arrancar who came out of Kyonyakū are like this. There are still some who are relatively law-abiding after becoming Arrancar.

After being investigated by Harribel, they successfully became members of the Akatsuki organization.

Among them, there is even the three-blade Grimmjow Jagajek from the former Kyonyaku.

After observing the opponent, Harribel found that the opponent was just very impatient and had a very violent attitude towards fighting. He liked to challenge strong opponents under equal conditions and purely enjoy the fun of fighting.

In fact, at the beginning, Harribel did not want to let Grimmjow join the Akatsuki organization because she felt that it might disrupt the rules of the Akatsuki organization.

However, later on, Grimmjow was noticed by Kenpachi Zaraki, and Harribel thought that these two were the type who would fight like crazy.

Normally it would be fine, and after Kenpachi Zaraki promised that he would keep an eye on the other party, Harribel agreed.

Naturally, Grimmjow did not accept Kenpachi Zaraki at first, but instead asked for a fight.

Suddenly, Grimmjow remembered Kenpachi Zaraki's wild laughter and the look in Harribel's eyes that seemed to be looking at him as if he was a fool.

At that time, Grimmjow didn't know why he looked like that, but he found out later.

Because Kenpachi Zaraki didn't even use his Shikai, and didn't even materialize his spiritual power, he just used his broken Zanpakutō and his strong physique to fight Grimmjow.

During the battle, all of Grimmjow's attacks were blocked by Kenpachi Zaraki's body. Although they were barely able to break through his defense, for Kenpachi Zaraki, who had an abnormal recovery ability, such injuries could be easily recovered from.

So, Grimmjow was chopped down by Kenpachi Zaraki in this confused feeling where his cognition was destroyed.

At this point, Grimmjow was completely convinced by Kenpachi Zaraki, but given his personality, it was impossible for him to give up the challenge to Kenpachi Zaraki. He would work hard to become stronger and then continue to challenge Kenpachi Zaraki.

And this is exactly why Kenpachi Zaraki took a fancy to Grimmjow.

The other party's wild fighting style matched his, and he was optimistic about such a character, so there was no reason why he couldn't join this organization.

Afterwards, Grimmjow understood why Harribel looked at him that way.

It turns out that Kenpachi Zaraki would fight with the Royal Knights in the Akatsuki organization every once in a while.

As for what a knight is, Grimmjow also knew about it, such as the Ten Espada of the Kyonyaku.

The Akatsuki organization is composed of the 12 Royal Knights, and above the Royal Knights is naturally the king, who is the leader of the Akatsuki organization.

Although there are 12 seats for the Royal Knights, currently only five people, Kenpachi Zaraki, Ulquiorra, Stark, Harribel, and Nel, have become Royal Knights.

There are still 7 vacancies and no one has been qualified to take over a seat so far.

So, after knowing this, Grimmjow set his sights on the seat of the Royal Knights. He believed that he was still qualified to be one of them.

Until, he saw Kenpachi Zaraki fighting with the other Royal Knights.

Sometimes Kenpachi Zaraki fights one of them, and sometimes he fights everyone else.

However, no matter which battle it was, he found that even the weakest Nel had unfathomable strength, not to mention Ulquiorra who could return to the sword twice.

At this time, Grimmjow's eyes showed a fiery look. He wanted to become one of the Twelve Royal Knights.

And he must defeat all the royal knights above him step by step, and then become the strongest.

However, Grimmjow has still not seen Xia Li take action, so he is not sure how strong Xia Li is. But since he can convince Kenpachi Zaraki, he must be even more powerful.

Afterwards, Grimmjow also joined the list of people that Kenpachi Zaraki would fight against, which was considered the first step.

At this point, the aftermath of the dissolution of Xuye Palace ended.

Of course, the strength of Hueco Mundo has still declined a lot. Although... the Ten Espada that Aizen is looking for is not as high quality as in the original work, it is still pretty good.

Even the King of Hueco Mundo, Bylergan, died in this battle, not to mention the other Espadas.

Only Grimmjow was left in Hueco Mundo's Hueco Night Palace, and he managed to escape later.

It should be said that only the Arrancar who remained in Hueco Mundo survived, the others...all died.

It goes without saying that everyone knows that the Arrancar of the Kyonyaku are treated as consumables.

Xia Li did not pay attention to Grimmjow's joining. The other party's strength was not worth his attention. He had been thinking about the next path recently, and constantly absorbing spiritual power and compressing it to the limit.

After his breakthrough, the spiritual power that had already reached the limit of compression naturally had a new limit, and Xia Li has not yet reached this limit.

But, it's only a matter of time.

If this continues, there may be no follow-up.

At this time, Xia Li actually knew that he and Aizen were theoretically taking the same path.

The difference is that Aizen relies on the power of the Hogyoku to achieve his own evolution, thus breaking through the limits of Death Gods and Hollows.

The same principle applies to Xia Li, except that he is also a bit like Ichigo Kurosaki.

For example, the power of the Hollow and the power of the God of Death in Ichigo Kurosaki's body merged together, and after Meikyo Shisui completed his Hollowification with his spiritual pressure, he also made the same fusion.

However, the upper limit of this fusion is just this.

"So, do we need to continue the fusion? The remaining power in this world, the Quincy? Or... Hell?" Xia Li thought about it, but felt that this would not work.

Ichigo Kurosaki is an extremely special case, and knowing the existence of the King of Quincies and the Saints, Xia Li would not easily try to come into contact with the power of the Quincies.

He was not worried that such holiness would cause him to lose all his power, but when the King of Quincy appeared, there was always a weakness left.

Moreover, even if one merges with the power of the Quincy, can one reach the level of a Soul King?

Xia Li thought of Ichigo Kurosaki's final Getsuga Sky Strike again, and still shook his head. It should still not work, but the upper limit might be a little higher.

Therefore, the safest way is still to explore the next path through the Spirit King.

"Spirit King...ah." Xia Li's eyes were a little deep. In fact, he didn't want to make too much noise in this world, but if this was really the only way, then he could only do this.

But, how to do it?

And should we bring in the Akatsuki organization?

As the leader of Akatsuki, even if he doesn't have this idea, others won't think so.

As long as he takes action, Akatsuki will automatically enter the game, right?

Right now, Akatsuki's strength is still pretty good, and they won't be too weak even against the current Gotei 13. But if the people from Squad Zero intervene... then it's hard to say.

And now it is obvious that no one in the Akatsuki organization has reached their peak state.

Not to mention Xia Li himself, the extreme compression of spiritual power has not yet been completed.

Kenpachi Zaraki still cannot control his Bankai, and it is unknown when he will be able to fully control his Bankai, but even without Bankai, his strength exceeds the captain level.

Ulquiorra is still making rapid progress after completing the Second Stage of Reincarnation. He needs to be given enough time to grow. At least, it should not be a problem for him to grow to the level of a top captain.

Stark's strength is currently stuck, and it will take some time for him to complete the Second Stage of Reincarnation. As long as he completes the Second Stage of Reincarnation, his strength will improve by leaps and bounds, and he might be able to surpass Ulquiorra in one fell swoop, and even catch up with Kenpachi Zaraki who does not have his Bankai.

Moreover, Stark also clearly stated that he seemed to have grasped the power of the Second Stage of Return to Blade, and all he needed was time to accumulate or... a life-and-death battle like Ulquiorra did back then.

Because no matter how strong Kenpachi Zaraki is, Stark knows that the other party will not really kill him. Having this mentality is different from a real fight to the death.

There is no need to say more about Harribel and Nel. They have just completed the Arrancar and their strength is in a rapid growth period, so they need more time to improve their strength.

This is true even for Grimmjow, who has just joined.

Therefore, although it is impossible to wait until everyone completes the second stage of returning to the blade, at least let them grow to their current limit and make full preparations before taking the next step.

Thinking of this, Xia Li also gathered everyone together, sat on the throne at the front of the round table, and looked at the five royal knights present.

Unfortunately, the organization was named Akatsuki instead of World Tree...

But it doesn't matter. After all, the Royal Knights are also known as the Royal Tree-Chopping Corps. It does seem a bit unlucky if they really became the World Tree.

Xia Li quickly told everyone that he wanted the power of the Spirit King.

Suddenly, the five people present were shocked, including Kenpachi Zaraki. He did not expect that Xia Li would actually target the Spirit King.

There is no need to say more about Harribel and Nel, they all know the ending of the previous Kyonami Palace, and now it seems that Xia Li will also end up with the Akatsuki organization.

Stark and Ulquiorra didn't find it strange.

Looking at everyone's reactions, Xia Li was not surprised, and then he told the Spirit King about his current condition and his relationship with the Three Realms.

In other words, the Spirit King is just a wedge.

"Is this really the case?" Kenpachi Zaraki felt a little confused, but it sounded a bit boring that the legendary Soul King was just a wedge that could not move or fight.

"Leader, if you really obtain the power of the Soul King, will it lead to the three realms..." Stark asked.

Then, Haribel and Nilu also looked at Xia Li, as this was also what they were concerned about.

"No, because I will become a new existence at the same level as the Spirit King. Then I can naturally use my power to stabilize the existence of the Three Realms." Xia Li replied.

In fact, there is a problem with what he said, that is, what if he cannot break through?

However, Xia Li had strong self-confidence. As long as he knew the next step, he would be able to make a breakthrough and there would be no other mistakes.

Hearing Xia Li's confident words, Stark nodded. He naturally believed that Xia Li could do it, so he said that he had no problem.

Since Xia Li wants to do this, he will accompany him to the end.

"I support the leader's decision!" Ulquiorra suddenly said with unusual passion and determination.
