Chapter 26: Shadow Manipulation Technique, Demon Blade Princess!

As night fell, Kyoko Kurahashi skipped dinner because she had bought a lot of wagashi.

Li An made a simple dinner for himself, and after filling his stomach, he asked Kyoko Kurahashi to begin teaching him Onmyodo.

Kyoko Kurahashi did not hold back; she switched into teacher mode and began teaching seriously.

"Speaking of today's Onmyodo, one must mention the super genius of the Tuyu Sect, Yoko Tuyu; it is precisely because of his existence that the Imperial Onmyodo of today exists!" When Kyoko Kurahashi spoke of Yoko Tuyu, her eyes were filled with admiration.

Although Li An had watched Tokyo Ravens in his past life, he had forgotten most of the plot and settings; remembering a few characters was already quite good.

But through Kyoko Kurahashi's explanation, the memories that had originally been forgotten gradually revived.

First, the Imperial Onmyodo differed from the Onmyodo of the past; it was a modern Onmyodo system created by Yoko Tuyu, who fused various supernatural arts of the Land of Cherry Blossoms—Onmyodo, Esoteric Buddhism, Shugendo, Shinto, and others—and added his own understanding.

The combat style of Onmyoji was not as wild as that of sorcerers; they were more like a combination of mages and summoners.

Onmyodo was like spells, and shikigami were like summoned beasts.

Of course, there were also Onmyoji with powerful physiques who fought in close combat, such as Miyajima Danzo and Kogure Zenjirou of the Twelve Generals.

Li An listened in a daze, feeling that Onmyodo was far more troublesome than Cursed Techniques and not as straightforward as Cursed Techniques.

Suddenly, he thought of the Three Great Families of the Zhoushulian Alliance.

Among them, the "Shadow Manipulation Technique" of the Zenin Family also seemed to involve summoning spirit servants to fight.

So he could not help but ask, "Kyoko, is the 'Shadow Manipulation Technique' of the Zenin Family the same as the spirit servants summoned by Onmyoji?"

Kyoko Kurahashi, however, wore an expression of disdain and said, "The Zenin Family? Mere thieves!"

"Thieves? How so?" Li An immediately became interested.

After all, Jujutsu Kaisen and Tokyo Ravens were two different anime; now that they had merged into one world, the settings must have been altered.

"A thousand years ago, during the Heian period, that was the era when Onmyoji and sorcerers were most active, and also the most powerful era.

But among the sorcerers, a super genius named Ryomen Sukuna appeared; that fellow became the King of Curses, the most evil existence. To eliminate him, the sorcerers thought of many methods, one of which was to seek help from the Onmyoji.

But the Onmyoji of that time had their own enemies and did not agree. So, in order to gain stronger power to deal with Ryomen Sukuna, those sorcerers actually stole the study of Onmyodo.

They even secretly captured women from Onmyoji families to breed, hoping to produce offspring with special 'Innate Techniques'.

And the 'Shadow Manipulation Technique' of the Zenin Family was born through such filthy means; the Zenin Family's original inherited 'Innate Technique' was only 'Projection Sorcery'!"

After Kyoko Kurahashi finished speaking, Li An was also very surprised.
