The Great Master of Gensokyo

Humans who possess the blood of demons are what are known as half-demons.

Half-demon combine the advantages of both humans and demons, just like his disciple Abe no Seimei.

His disciple, Abe no Seimei, was a true half-demon.

Being a half-demon means that the demonic part can potentially affect the human part at any time.

The old Onmyoji was very worried about the future of his disciple.

He can now rest assured because he has found a disciple whose talent rivals that of Seimei and is even more outstanding.

Given time, he may even surpass his outstanding disciple.

Abe no Seimei's excellence made the old Onmyoji feel uneasy.

"However, Yuzuru must follow me to cultivate and leave this place..." The old Onmyoji hesitated for a moment before speaking to his old friend.

What if he takes Saigyouji Hanyu away and something happens to the Saigyouji family?

"Don't worry, this old body of mine won't die." Saigyouji Shojin smiled, his pale face showing his weakness. "It's wonderful that he can become your disciple. And if anything happens, I'll have Youki contact you."

The spirit youki standing next to Saigyouji nodded. It was truly wonderful that Saigyouji Hanyu could become an Onmyoji.

"If I'm leaving, I want to say goodbye to Yuyuko." Although he was excited to become an Onmyoji, he quickly calmed down.

He didn't know how long it would take to master the Yin-Yang arts, and he didn't want Yuyuko to worry.

"Go and talk to them," Saigyouji Shonin said, granting permission for the two to meet.

He owed his daughter a great deal.

On one hand, it wasn't his fault that Saigyouji Yuyuko was confined to the garden and became so weak. On the other hand, Saigyouji Yuyuko's abilities made him afraid of hurting others.

"Thank you, Father." Saigyouji Yuzuru bowed his head and said gratefully.

Chapter 3 Main Quest

"By the way, maybe we can ask about the Saigyou Ayakashi."

Saigyouji Hanyu suddenly thought that he could take this opportunity to learn about the origins of the Saigyou Ayakashi.

The Saigyou Ayakashi is the youkai cherry blossom in Yuyuko's yard, a cherry tree that never blooms. He didn't quite understand why the Saigyou Ayakashi's curse had fallen on the Saigyouji family.

"Yes, from now on I will be your teacher." The old Onmyoji smiled heartily, and Yu Heian-kyo's distress vanished instantly.

His worries and anxieties stemmed from his disciple, the great Onmyoji Abe no Seimei.

People who live to be ninety years old always have a lot on their minds.

That disciple was never human.

In this era overrun by monsters, it is not humans who possess the blood of monsters and who wield the power of Yin and Yang.

If he's still alive, Abe no Seimei won't cause any trouble. What will happen if he dies?

Non-my family, its heart must be different.

The bloodline of a monster is powerful and can easily overwhelm that of a human. Therefore, the arrangements that Kamo no Tadayuki left on Abe no Seimei may not be effective.

This concern of his greatly relieved him after accepting Saigyouji Hanyu as his disciple.

"Greetings, Master," Saigyouji Yuusuke said respectfully, calming his breathing. There were some things he needed to ask.

"Master, Father, Yuzuru has some questions, please enlighten me."

Saigyouji Shojin nodded slightly and said to Saigyouji Habu, "Ask me any questions you may have. I know you've been worried about Yuyuko, haven't you?"

With the memories of the transmigrator, Saigyouji Habu finally understood the story of Saigyou Youkai and Yuyuko. Before having the transmigrator's memories, Saigyouji Habu could only get vague answers from Saigyouji Sage and Soul Youki.

He needs to compare his memories with his own to analyze how to help Yuyuko.

“I want to know why Yuyuko has become like this,” Saigyouji Habu said, his expression calm. “If becoming an Onmyoji can solve Yuyuko’s problems, I hope to let Yuyuko leave the prison of the garden and witness the outside world.”

"Is the rumored curse of the Journey to the West demon true?"

The curse of Saigyou-you was told to Saigyouji Habu by Konpaku Youki.

"The curse of Saigyou Ayakashi, is it real or fake?" Saigyouji Sage's tone gradually turned bitter as he mentioned this. "If I could, I would rather Yuyuko never have been born, so that she wouldn't have to suffer such torment upon arriving in the world."

"Let me explain, and you'll find out sooner or later anyway. My purpose in coming here is to strengthen the seal on the Saigyou Ayakashi."

Kamo no Tadayuki sighed softly and explained in detail the origins of the Saigyou Ayakashi and the problems that Saigyouji Yuyuko had encountered.

It was only then that Saigyouji Hanyu understood what had happened.

The Youkai Sakura is a creature of the underworld.

The main power of the youkai Sakura is to lure people to their deaths and absorb their life force.

"All of this originated from Prince Shotoku."

During the Asuka period, Prince Shotoku led the competition between Shinto and Buddhism. Japan was in the late stages of the Age of Gods, and the competition from Buddhism caused Shinto to lose out and become the dominant religion in Japan.

The rise of Buddhism led to the decline of Shintoism, which in effect marked the end of the Japanese Age of Gods.

The era of rampant yokai has just begun. Yokai were not numerous in the Nara period, but in the Heian period, their numbers are steadily increasing.

In Kamo no Tadashi's words, it was the imbalance of Yin and Yang that led to the chaos.

An imbalance of Yin and Yang led to the emergence of things from the underworld.

"More than a decade ago, the Saigyou Ayakashi appeared in the world and killed countless humans. It was originally an unconscious creature from the underworld. If it absorbed a sufficient number of humans, it would have developed true sentience. Your father and I had to do everything in our power to seal it away," Kamo Tadashi said quietly. The seal was successful, but the Saigyouji Saint paid a huge price.

Saigyouji Shojin was once a great Buddhist monk. Obsessed with Shinto and Buddhism, Saigyouji Shojin possessed the power to suppress evil spirits, and thus became friends with Kamo no Tadayuki. In his youth, he traveled all over the country and made great achievements.

"Unexpectedly, Saigyou Ayakashi established a connection with your father's daughter, Yuyuko. This resulted in Yuyuko possessing the power to turn the living into the dead."

“Yuyuko’s power took effect at birth. Her mother died shortly after her birth because of this power. I sealed Yuyuko’s power with half of my own life, but as Yuyuko grows older, this power becomes increasingly dangerous and out of control.”

Saigyouji Shojin sighed. Saigyouji Yuusuke's serious illness some time ago was actually due to Saigyouji Yuyuko's ability.

"What can be done..." Saigyouji Hanyu's mood seemed to be at its worst.

“There’s no way. Unless you can become a human like that legendary great demon, perhaps you could defeat the Saigyou Ayakashi.” Kamo Tadayuki shook his head. He knew that Saigyouji Habu wanted to help his sister. But the Saigyou Ayakashi was a creature of the underworld, and even Kamo Tadayuki himself could only seal it away.

"The only thing we can do is seal it away; humans cannot transcend their own limitations."

"To become a figure like that legendary great demon in human form?" Could the system that appeared within him help him? Saigyouji Hanyu clutched his chest, head bowed in deep thought, "Time, I need enough time."

"Mission: Become a Great Onmyoji."

Timeframe: Five years.

"Reward: Azure Dragon Spirit".

The next moment, Saigyouji Hanyu saw the simplified Chinese prompt box again.

"Is this a mission?" Saigyouji Yuusuke was taken aback.

Chapter Four: The Young Onmyoji

“That’s enough.” Saigyouji Hanyu nodded.

Five years should be enough time for Saigyouji Hane to become a great Onmyoji.

As for what a Guardian Spirit is, Saigyouji Hanyu quickly understood that it is a Guardian Spirit.

Five years should be enough time for Saigyouji Hane to become a great Onmyoji.

"I can't be too ambitious." Once he calmed down, Saigyouji Hanyu quickly suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart.

Because he knew that this was only the beginning of his path to becoming an Onmyoji, and that he wanted to master true supernatural power in this world.

“Nothing is impossible in this world. I believe I will become a powerful Onmyoji.” Saigyouji Yuzuru replied firmly, which made Saigyouji Shoto and Kamo Tadashi smile.

Saigyouji Shonin nodded slightly, "I believe you will become a great Onmyoji."

If Saigyouji becomes a great Onmyoji, he will probably have no regrets.

With this power, Saigyouji Habu should be able to protect Yuyuko.

With mixed feelings, Saigyouji Shojin looked at Saigyouji Hanyu, who was already fifteen years old. In the blink of an eye, Saigyouji Hanyu had reached adulthood.

Time flies...

"Yusuke, your master and I have important matters to discuss, so you may leave for now." With the matter of Saigyouji Yusuke becoming Kamo Tadashi's disciple settled, Saigyouji Shojin waved his hand, not allowing Saigyouji Yusuke to remain there.

Just as Saigyouji Yuusuke was about to leave, Kamo Tadayuki said, "I will stay at the Saigyouji residence for a while longer, and during this time I will teach you the basics of Onmyōdō."

"Yes." Saigyouji Yuusuke nodded slightly and chose to leave the reception room.

Soul Phantom led Saigyouji Hanyu out, leaving only Saigyouji Shojin and Kamo no Tadayuki in the room.

“You have a good child.” Kamo Tadashi turned around and said to Saigyouji Shojin, “Hanyu’s talent is quite rare. Given time, he will become a great Onmyoji among humans.”

“He’s even comparable to Ashiya Dōman.” Kamo no Tadayuki didn’t say that Saigōji Hayū might surpass Abe no Seimei, because Abe no Seimei was a half-demon, and his half-demon bloodline proved his advantage.

Although he was initially excited by Saigyouji Hanyu's talent, Kamo Tadashi has now calmed down a bit.

He is getting old and it's uncertain whether he can train a disciple who surpasses Seimei.

"Ashiya Dōman, I heard that he fought with your disciple and lost in front of the Emperor and the ministers." Gyōji Shōjin chuckled.

Ashiya Dōman was a typical example of someone who achieved success late in life. He disapproved of Abe Seimei's style and challenged him, only to humiliate himself in the end.

"Dōman is a rare genius of Yin-Yang Dao among humans, but he can never compare to Seimei."

"Under his rule, Onmyōdō grew stronger and stronger, and the Emperor's respect for Onmyōdō, as well as the awe shown by the nobles of Heian-kyō, brought Onmyōdō unprecedented glory and status."

He highly recognized Abe no Seimei's achievements.

As Seimei's teacher, Kamo no Tadayuki received extremely high honors.

However, Kamo no Tadayuki was not happy. The evil spirits that had been rampaging in Mount Oe a few days ago, and the fox spirits that had been causing trouble in Heian-kyo, made Kamo no Tadayuki vaguely see a huge crisis.

As an Onmyoji, he possesses a unique ability to 'see the future'.

He saw the potential prosperity of Onmyōdō (the Way of Yin and Yang) brought about by Abe no Seimei, but he also saw the darkness that would follow.

The order of human society is gradually becoming unbalanced.

An era of moral decay and social decay may be approaching.

"I'm very worried about who will be able to control Seimei after I die." He was concerned about Abe no Seimei's half-demon status and whether he could live peacefully as a human and protect the order of the world.

Without his suppression, everything would change.

“Those who are not in a position should not concern themselves with its affairs. Besides, you still have many years to live, unlike me…” Saigyouji Shojin smiled, but coughed halfway through his sentence. His life force had been greatly depleted, and his body now appeared particularly weak. “I’m afraid this body won’t last much longer. If you have time, please take care of my two children.”

"This is the last thing I can ask you to do."

"I will, after all, Yuzuru is my student now."

Saigyouji Hanyu was his disciple, and Kamo no Tadayuki would take good care of him no matter what. The Saigyou demon also had its reasons, leading to the curse on the Saigyouji family.

Kamo Tadashi still felt a great deal of guilt towards his old friend.

Their conversation went unnoticed.

The old Onmyoji was simply lost about the future and had not determined his direction.

After their conversation, the old Onmyoji confirmed his direction: to properly train Saigyouji Habu. He didn't expect him to surpass Abe no Seimei, but at least to develop the ability to rival his disciple.

in the room.

"Is this the Onmyoji system?" Saigyouji Yuusuke wondered as he learned about the system's functions.

The Onmyodo (or Onmyoji Bureau) is a shikigami encyclopedia, containing all of Saigyouji Hanyu's shikigami. The spirit guardians are grayed out and unavailable, but there is a learning function on this page, which covers the main skills required to become an Onmyoji.

“Not bad.” Saigyouji Yuzuru smiled, looking quite happy.

In terms of key skills, they are in a learnable state.
