Body Snatching!

After a wave of spatial fluctuation, Hyuga Shin successfully arrived at his destination.

It was the same place he had visited over thirty years ago.

He hadn't expected to be able to come back.

Looking at the still somewhat dilapidated space, Hyuga Shin decided to thoroughly explore the secrets of this small dimension.

He immediately took flight, investigating everything within this mysterious space.

The entire small dimension was about 100,000 mu in size, covered in vegetation, giving it an overall verdant appearance.

There were mountains and water, including a lake.

Some small animals lived there, but no intelligent beings were found.

Overall, it resembled a miniature world.

However, the Natural Energy was indeed sparse; otherwise, the trees here wouldn't be so short.

It was incomparable to the Three Great Sage Regions, where even a blade of grass was excessively large.

As Hyuga Shin continued to advance, he made a discovery in a place he hadn't reached before.

It was the most central location in the entire space, and there seemed to be traces of intelligent life having lived there.

Hyuga Shin didn't rush down to investigate closely. Instead, he continued flying until he had explored the entire space and found nothing else, only then did he return to the core area.

He should be able to find something here.

Hyuga Shin descended from the air. He saw that the trees around the core area were significantly taller, and there were some ancient buildings.

However, most of them were already in a state of decay, likely to crumble instantly with a slight touch. It seemed this place had existed for a very long time.

It might even predate the Three Great Sage Regions; of course, this was just Hyuga Shin's speculation.

Furthermore, there seemed to be traces of human habitation.

This made Hyuga Shin very curious. Did the people of this world also have a glorious history?

The more secrets of the Ninja World that were uncovered, the more there seemed to be.

Hyuga Shin tiptoed into these ancient buildings, trying to discover something.

But many things inside crumbled at the slightest touch, and no valuable information was found.

Only some relatively well-preserved stone pots and bowls proved that humans had indeed lived there.

After searching through the buildings one by one, Hyuga Shin couldn't help but feel a bit discouraged. Time had been too long, and many things had been destroyed.

It was impossible to determine if this was a gathering place for ancient human powerhouses.

However, Hyuga Shin wasn't ready to give up. He unleashed his powerful spiritual sense, conducting an in-depth investigation of the entire core area, penetrating dozens of feet deep.

He didn't believe not a single useful piece of information had been left behind.

As Hyuga Shin's investigation deepened, he indeed found a deeply hidden secret place beneath the ancient buildings.

However, it was blocked by a barrier formed by Natural Energy, preventing his spiritual sense from penetrating. He might need to investigate it in person.

This instantly piqued Hyuga Shin's interest.

He immediately used the Earth Evasion Technique and headed towards the only place that could hold the secret of this space.

In a short time, Hyuga Shin arrived at the mysterious underground space.

It was protected by a barrier formed by Natural Energy. He hadn't expected it to last for so many years.

Perhaps the scarce Natural Energy in this space had all been used to maintain the barrier's operation.

Hyuga Shin approached and touched it. The barrier wasn't very strong, as it had been there for too long.

For a cultivation expert like him, it wasn't a significant problem.

However, to avoid damaging any secrets hidden within the barrier, Hyuga Shin still didn't force his way through.

He spent some time studying the barrier's weak points. Utilizing his understanding of Natural Energy, barriers, and Sealing Techniques, he successfully found a way to infiltrate it.

A dense wave of Natural Energy emanated from Hyuga Shin's body, directly probing the barrier and beginning to guide its operation.

Silently, he opened a gap and then walked through.

Inside the barrier was a relatively spacious area, with a Throne standing on a constructed platform.

Seated on the Throne was a skeleton, long dead. In its hand, it held a Scepter inlaid with deep green gems, seemingly belonging to a King.

Below the Throne, two rows of human skeletons sat in meditation, all long dead.

The entire space appeared devoid of life.

But Hyuga Shin knew this was merely an illusion.

The moment he stepped inside the barrier, Hyuga Shin sensed the existence of a Mysterious Consciousness.

It probed Hyuga Shin, and he was instantly detected.

"Interesting! An unexpected discovery."

"Senior, isn't this a bit too much? You're investigating so brazenly the moment I arrive. Shouldn't you introduce yourself first?"

Hyuga Shin didn't hesitate at all, immediately exposing the presence of the hidden person.

"Junior, you've finally arrived! Unfortunately, it's too late!"

An ancient voice echoed from the Throne.

"Senior, how do you know it's too late if you don't say it?"

Hyuga Shin ignored the mysterious person's words and continued to guide him into revealing the secrets he wanted to know.

"If you were a little younger, if you had come here the first time you visited, then everything would still have been possible."

"You are already on your last legs now, with no time left to make any changes."

The mysterious voice's ancient words conveyed a deep sense of regret.

"Senior, since junior has arrived here, it is naturally fate, regardless of whether it's early or late."

"And how does Senior know that I haven't already made changes?"

"Whatever hidden secrets you have, please tell me directly. Perhaps I can help a little."

Although Hyuga Shin's voice was aged, it was filled with confidence and vitality.

Hyuga Shin could roughly guess what the mysterious person meant, but he still needed him to say it himself.

"You are indeed different from before, no!"

"You've actually already embarked on the correct path!"

As the mysterious person spoke, he carefully examined Hyuga Shin once more.

This time, Hyuga Shin didn't hide anything and directly revealed a portion of his foundation.

This caused the mysterious existence to be momentarily surprised!

"Genius! You truly are a genius! This King knew that the rules of this world wouldn't allow a useless person to come to this place!"

"I was originally quite angry about your departure before, thinking you were beyond help and hadn't discovered the true secret of this place."

"I never expected you to be able to comprehend it yourself and step onto the true path!"

The mysterious person's words were filled with excitement.

"Senior's words are quite vague. Please speak plainly."

Hyuga Shin was a little annoyed. He was always the one playing riddles with others, and today he was being played!

However, for the sake of the Ninja World's secrets, Hyuga Shin endured it.

"Since you have already embarked on the true path, you should have discovered the secret of this world. He has already gone astray!"

"The mastermind hidden deep within this world is treating everyone as leeks to satisfy Their filthy pursuits."

The mysterious person's voice was filled with anger, an irrepressible rage conveyed through his words.

"Senior, are you referring to the Sage of Six Paths and the three Bug Immortals from the Three Great Sage Regions?"

Hyuga Shin directly pointed out the targets.

"You have indeed discovered their existence. Junior, you are very good!" The mysterious person couldn't help but praise Hyuga Shin.

Hyuga Shin was starting to lose patience. Couldn't this old geezer just get to the point!

He was also experiencing for the first time how detestable a riddle-spewing person could be.

Perhaps this was karma.

"Senior, if you continue to be so roundabout, then junior will not accompany you any further."

Hyuga Shin directly refused to humor him. If he wanted to talk, fine; if not, he wasn't going to beg.

"What an impatient little fellow. Come forward, place your hand on this green gem, and I will transmit the secrets of the entire world to you."

"It's probably impossible to explain in just a few words," the mysterious person's voice came from the Throne.

Hyuga Shin glanced at the green gem on the Scepter, a guess forming in his mind.

The mysterious person's consciousness or soul was probably hidden there.

However, this old fellow likely had ulterior motives, trying to lure him with the secrets of the entire Ninja World.

Despite his predictions, the audacious Hyuga Shin still walked towards the mysterious person's Throne.

Although the mysterious person believed he had seen through Hyuga Shin, he didn't know that Hyuga Shin had also thoroughly investigated his background.

The moment Hyuga Shin stepped onto the Throne and placed his hand on the green gem.

A soul drilled into his sea of consciousness through his body.

"As expected, trying to possess my body?"

"Unfortunately, you've chosen the wrong person!"

"Even if the Sage of Six Paths and the Bug Immortals from the Three Great Sage Regions entered my sea of consciousness together, they wouldn't stir up any waves."

"A bunch of frogs in a well, how could they comprehend the might of the True Immortal Path!"

Hyuga Shin immediately threw the skeleton off the Throne, took the Scepter, and sat on the Throne, calmly dealing with this mentally unstable mysterious person.

"You brought this upon yourself!"
