Reincarnation as Lower Rank Five in Demon Slayer

The Nichirin Blade, stuck in the ancient tree covered in parasitic wisteria flowers, was emitting a faint glow.

These faint lights might be invisible to ordinary people, but for Li Lei, a ghost, they were very "blinding" because the power of the sun is too easy for a ghost to recognize.

"This is incredible! The Nichirin Blade can actually absorb the power of the sun when exposed to sunlight."

This discovery both surprised and delighted Li Lei; he hadn't expected the Nichirin Blade to have such a function.

In his past life, Li Lei knew that the Nichirin Blade was forged from iron containing the power of the sun, but he never imagined that the Nichirin Blade could absorb the sun's energy.

Although these forces dissipate rapidly after the sun is no longer exposed to sunlight.

However, Li Lei soon discovered that the faint solar energy was dissipating towards the ancient wisteria tree that was his parasitic flesh and blood.

A bold idea suddenly popped into my head: the Nichirin Blade could actually be temporarily enhanced under the sun, which was essentially an enchantment.

Then, could I use this characteristic of the Nichirin Blade to enhance the resistance of my parasitic flesh wisteria ancient tree to the sun?

First, simply place the Nichirin Blade under the sun every day to absorb the sun's power, then bring it back and insert it back into the ancient tree of the parasitic flesh-and-blood wisteria.

The Sun Wheel Blade, in the absence of sunlight, releases its energy-releasing properties, channeling the solar energy absorbed from the sun into the parasitic wisteria-covered ancient tree.

Furthermore, because the Nichirin Blade can only absorb a small amount of solar energy under the sun, it cannot cause much damage to the parasitic flesh-and-blood wisteria.

As long as he continues to use the Nichirin Blade as a solar energy source day after day, transmitting solar energy to the parasitic wisteria tree, he can allow it to adapt to and absorb small amounts of solar energy from now on.

This allows me to adapt to the harmful effects of sunlight over a long period, laying the groundwork for overcoming its effects in the future.

After all, for Li Lei, who is a ghost, directly overcoming the sun is unlikely and unrealistic.

After all, he wasn't some chosen one or the protagonist of this world.

If you try to overcome sunlight by simply sunbathing, you'll surely turn to ash.

Therefore, Li Lei actively sought out possible ways to overcome the effects of sunlight and put them into practice.

After all, Li Lei himself didn't want to be eliminated a hundred years from now by scientific weapons or lamps that were similar to sunlight.

The former died in a ridiculous way, while the latter died in a pathetic way.

Although there are two ways to overcome sunlight in Demon Slayer, Lee Lei felt that neither was very reliable, whether it was eating a demon that could overcome sunlight or finding the Blue Spider Lily to make a medicine to overcome sunlight.

Since neither of them had been tested by ghosts, their reliability couldn't be guaranteed, so Li Lei didn't want to gamble on it, nor did he dare to.

Although Tamayo, who was later a demon, created a medicine that could restore demons to human form, Riku did not want to return to human form, nor did he want to lose this power.

Human beings are too weak and their lives are too short. Compared to the Earth, which has existed for 46 billion years, they are but a drop in the ocean and a fleeting moment.

But the emergence of life is a miracle, and from this miracle of life a second miracle was born: intelligent humankind.

Humans seem to be the darlings of the Earth, becoming the dominant species in just a few million years, but they are also extremely warlike and bloodthirsty.

Human civilization is like a history of war, filled with misfortune and sorrow, and its growth is filled with war and killing.

This misfortune and sorrow repeats itself throughout history, as if it were a curse. No! It should be called a kind of human evil.

Li Lei didn't want to face or experience this kind of evil in human nature. In addition, Li Lei had died once and knew the fear of death, which was not a pleasant feeling.

Having had this experience, Li Lei would rather die a normal old age than do it again.

After all, once an ordinary person has truly experienced extraordinary power, they are no longer human, just like a fish that has come ashore in the evolution of life and is no longer a fish.

In the chaotic wars to come, it will be very difficult for people to survive.

Therefore, Li Lei, as a ghost, did not want to become human again, because being human was too weak.

Watching his flesh and blood transform into the ancient wisteria tree, slowly absorbing the faint solar energy emanating from the Sun Wheel Blade, Li Lei felt a surge of secret joy. After all, everything was progressing in the direction he had envisioned.

However, the solar energy temporarily attached to the Nichirin Blade quickly disappeared.

"That's all? Well, it's only been a few seconds since I opened the curtains to let the sunlight in."

"In such a short time, the Nichirin Blade couldn't possibly absorb much energy."

Looking at the Nichirin Blade, which was slowly ceasing to emit solar energy, Li Lei sighed.

"Sigh, looks like I'll have to ask someone for help."

"Little Wu, call Chigusa and Chihiro over here."

Li Lei conveyed orders to Xiao Wu through parasitic flesh and blood.

……

Meanwhile, under the bright sunshine, Xiao Wu led several crows in search of food in the forest of Nata Spider Mountain.

"Men, search carefully, don't let a single bug escape."

"When we arrived here, Lady Moka said that neither she nor Chihiro liked insects, so she gave us a long-term, strict order to regularly remove the insects from the mountain."

"We absolutely cannot let them down, do you hear me!"

"Yes! Boss."

The crow minions returned.

"By the way, the spiders you caught are the same as before, hand them over to me. Do you understand?"

The forest fell silent instantly.

"Damn, why are you guys so quiet? Are you trying to sneak a bite?"

"Don't you know spiders are my exclusive prey? What are you trying to do? I don't know..."

"Little Wu, call Chigusa and Chihiro to come see me."

At this moment, Li Lei's voice rang in Xiao Wu's mind.

Upon hearing Li Lei's voice, Xiao Wu immediately became quiet.

"It's the master."

"You guys keep catching bugs, I have to go first."

Little Wu said to the crow that was looking for insects.

"By the way, don't eat the spider that's trying to steal my food."

Before leaving, Xiao Wu continued to emphasize this point.

As soon as Little Crow left, the crows in the forest looked at each other, as if they had reached some kind of agreement.

"Brothers, it's time for a feast! Boss Xiao Wu isn't here, let's hurry and find something to eat!"

"Especially the spider—whoever finds it keeps it!"

In an instant, the crows seemed to change completely, frantically searching for spiders to eat.
