Chapter 134

He placed a curse mark on Kimimaro again, a special curse mark composed of Yin-Yang Release.

[Ash Bone Curse Mark: Collects the power of the All-Killing Ash Bone in the body, and after accumulating to a certain level, can release the All-Killing Ash Bone.]

Hum—

The moment the curse mark was planted, spiderweb-like lines formed on the surface of Kimimaro's body, covering his whole body.

Then a little bit of the power belonging to the All-Killing Ash Bone was condensed by the curse mark into a special seal constructed by Yin-Yang Release.

"I feel so relaxed!"

Kimimaro immediately felt his body become much lighter, as if the stone pressing on his body had been moved away.

Shi Yuan said indifferently: "From today on, Itachi can practice Shikotsumyaku without any scruples. As for the accumulated energy, it can become your trump card!"

"Thank Itachi, Lord Shi Yuan!"

Kimimaro said hurriedly, his face full of excitement.

For a period of time recently, side effects had begun to appear on his body.

Watching his strength improve, he was also extremely anxious in his heart, but now he was finally liberated!

Shi Yuan waved his hand and then said:

"For the next period of time, I will go into seclusion. This time might be relatively long, and Itachi might not be able to find me, but don't worry!"

Kimimaro and the others were stunned, then nodded.

After the others left, Shi Yuan kept Orochimaru alone.

After he left, he wasn't sure what would happen in the ninja world, so he had to leave an insurance policy.

So he handed a scroll to Orochimaru.

"Teacher, this is the Sharingan cultivation method, which can be practiced until the Mangekyo Sharingan stage!"

The content of the Eternal Mangekyo part in the Sharingan cultivation method was not something others could practice, not even Orochimaru, so he ignored it directly.

"Mangekyo?!"

Orochimaru was stunned.

Although he hadn't been defeated by Itachi because of Shi Yuan, he had always cared about the Sharingan.

Naturally, he was extremely happy at this moment.

Shi Yuan continued: "If teacher awakens the Mangekyo, Itachi can avoid the side effects of the Mangekyo by transplanting the First Hokage's cells!"

In two years, he had communicated with Orochimaru many times, so Orochimaru also generally understood the relationship between the Mangekyo and Wood Release.

Upon hearing this, he nodded and said rarely solemnly: "Rest assured, I will take good care of them while Itachi are away."

Shi Yuan felt much more at ease, then smiled at him and said: "Then, goodbye, teacher!"

As his voice fell, he cast Kamui and disappeared from the spot.

Orochimaru looked at the empty space and was silent for a long time, then turned and left.

After Shi Yuan appeared, he observed for a while; this was not the same as Obito's different space, so the safety was extremely high.

This was also the location he decided to store his body.

And he had already placed a large amount of food and fresh water inside, which could support him for several years.

Subsequently, Shi Yuan came to a location and lay down, slowly forming hand seals in his hand.

"Spirit Division Technique!"

Shi Yuan's consciousness was divided into two, one weak and one strong.

The weak one would remain in the main body to maintain the main body's activities and operate the Sage Body cultivation method.

And the strong part would directly cast the secret technique.

"Spirit Transformation Technique!"

Instantly, Shi Yuan's soul separated from his body.

He took a look at the body that could act normally; although it was a bit reluctant to use it for fighting, it was enough.

Subsequently, his soul began to form hand seals.

"Edo Tensei: Summoning Jutsu!"

Instantly, the soul of a ghost appeared, but it was immediately sent away by Shi Yuan.

Immediately after.

A subtle ripple radiated out.

Shi Yuan's soul soared into the sky, rushing toward a certain place in the underworld.

This was the Reverse Summoning Jutsu; the ghost just now had summoned Shi Yuan in the underworld!

Whoosh!

Shi Yuan felt himself moving; everything around him was gray and hazy, like chaos itself.

His speed was immense, and suddenly, he felt the fluctuations ahead intensify. His vision was returning!

"What is that?!"

Suddenly, Shi Yuan’s eyes widened, and he looked toward the side in shock.

There, an ancient, primitive palace stood within the gray void!

It was filled with an aura of antiquity and desolation.

Moreover, judging by the traces and style, it was definitely a man-made structure!

Shi Yuan took a slight breath, his heart struggling to remain calm.

"It seems someone explored the Underworld before me. Who could it be?"

A name flashed through his mind.

The Sage of Six Paths!

Only he could surpass himself in Yin-Yang Release!

And only the Sage of Six Paths, who could easily summon the spirits of the Underworld to the present world, could possibly have entered the Underworld!

Shi Yuan wanted to move his body to enter the palace, but he could not change his trajectory at all and could only brush past it.

He stared deeply at the palace, a feeling in his heart that sooner or later, he would come into conflict with its master.

"I hope Itachi can give me a surprise!"

Not until the palace disappeared from his field of vision did Shi Yuan turn his head to look forward.

The Underworld, he had arrived!

Inside the palace.

Just after Shi Yuan entered the Underworld, a figure walked out.

It was none other than the white-haired Sage of Six Paths!

"Someone has actually come here again?"

He looked at Shi Yuan’s retreating back and frowned slightly.

A thousand years ago, after sealing Kaguya Otsutsuki, the Sage of Six Paths became the Ten-Tails jinchuriki.

But he also learned the intelligence that the Otsutsuki clan would soon descend!

The Otsutsuki clan, a group where almost everyone was at the Six Paths level, possessed beings far more powerful than Kaguya!

The Sage of Six Paths understood that the Otsutsuki clan was not something the ninja world, nor he himself, could contend with!

Furthermore, he himself had already become an Otsutsuki!

As long as he continued to live, when the Otsutsuki descended, he would likely be eaten by the Ten-Tails as a sacrifice!

It was a dead end!

But the Sage of Six Paths, having tasted the temptation of powerful strength and immortality, was unwilling to die just like that.

So he began searching for other methods of immortality.

At that time, the Sage of Six Paths was at his peak; with the Rinnegan and as the Ten-Tails jinchuriki, he was practically omnipotent.

He searched the ninja world thoroughly and finally discovered the existence of the Death God!
