Ōtsutsuki Shrine: Finding the Space-Time Passage
After climbing dozens of meters of steps, Tianqi finally reached the top, where he saw a dilapidated ancestral hall. Upon entering the hall, Tianqi carefully examined his surroundings. Unfortunately, many things had decayed due to their age, and the hall was covered in white ash and cobwebs.
When Tianqi turned his gaze to the front, he was immediately stunned. There was a statue in front of the ancestral hall. This statue was not a god or Buddha worshipped by ordinary people, but a man wearing armor with his hands Hand Seals. At the feet of this man was a long sword that gleamed coldly. Although so many years had passed, the sword was not affected at all. It was still chilling and there was not a speck of dust on its blade.
"This must be a divine weapon!" Tianqi's eyes lit up, and he was about to rush forward.
However, just as Tianqi stepped forward, he was stunned once again. The ground where the divine weapon was planted was engraved with the pattern of a giant eye. This eye was not an ordinary eye. It was neither the Byakugan nor the Sharingan, but the legendary Rinnegan. Moreover, it was not an ordinary Rinnegan, but the same Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan as Tianqi's.
Although the eye was depicted, it was incredibly realistic. Tianqi could feel an immense amount of ocular power emanating from it. Seeing this, Tianqi was filled with doubt: whose eye was this? It didn't seem to be created by Ōtsutsuki Kaguya. Could it be the former homeland of the Sage of Six Paths?
Although the eyes are not real, they were created using a special technique. As for the immense power of the pupils, it was probably locked within them using a special Sealing Jutsu, likely to prevent anyone from taking away this divine weapon.
Based on what he could see, Tianqi made a simple guess, but whether it was correct or not, no one knew.
"If this really is the Sage of Six Paths's former homeland, then this divine weapon must have quite a history!" Tianqi's lips curled up slightly, and then he gripped the hilt of the longsword.
Just as Tianqi grasped the long sword, a strange chill suddenly spread through his body from his Tianqi, causing him to shudder. He then experienced a strange, otherworldly feeling. However, Tianqi pupils contracted slightly as images began to flash through his mind.
The blood-red painting stained Tianqi's eyes, revealing boundless carnage. Countless warriors, fearless of death, wielded longswords to slay the enemy, their battle cries shaking the entire world.
The scene shifts, Susanoo hundreds of meters tall. A middle-aged man with long black hair stands within it, dressed in a white robe and wielding a gleaming longsword. His arrogant and disdainful aura is palpable. Within him are a pair of Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan with pentagram patterns. His gaze is fixed on another man opposite him, a man with short black hair, standing with his hands clasped together atop a wooden Great Buddha. Six black Truth-Seeking Orb float behind him. The already imposing Susanoo insignificant compared to the Great Buddha; clearly, they are on completely different levels.
However, at that moment, the long-haired middle-aged man's left eye suddenly changed. The original pentagram pattern was instantly covered by this circle of lines. The Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan in his left eye disappeared and was replaced by the Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan. With the blessing of the Rinnegan, the long-haired middle-aged man's Susanoo only grew to the same height as the wooden Great Buddha. The two stared intently at each other, each controlling their giant to charge towards the other.
The scene ended there. When Tianqi came to his senses, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Although it was all an illusion, the aura of the two people still gave him an incredibly shocking feeling. Witnessing two Six Paths level experts clash was a feeling that no one could understand. Even with his strength at his peak, without using the power of the Rinnegan's Time Force, he was not entirely confident that he could defeat those two people.
"His right eye is the Eternal Mangekyo, and his left eye Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan. This man must be him!" Tianqi breathed a sigh of relief. In the history of the Uchiha Clan, apart from Sasuke Uchiha who was not yet born, there was only one other person who could evolve his eyes to that state. That's right, it was the eldest son of the Sage of Six Paths, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, Ōtsutsuki Indra!
"What a Ōtsutsuki Indra! His Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan is insanely strong, not inferior to me even with my cheat-like abilities!" Tianqi clenched his fists, unable to contain his excitement. He thought about how strong the immense power of his eyes was before. And this was only left behind by someone who had been dead for a thousand years. If Indra himself were present, it would be even stronger.
Tianqi was also excited at the prospect of having an opponent who could fight him. Ever since he awakened the Rinnegan and became invincible in the Shinobi World, he had lost all motivation. Now that he suddenly had an opponent who could match him, how could he not be excited?
"That man standing opposite Indra is probably Asura! He can unleash Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands that's nearly a thousand meters long. He's far stronger than Hashirama Senju!" Tianqi thought of Hashirama Senju, who relied on the talents of the entire Shinobi World to create a Thousand-Armed Great Buddha, and his face immediately showed disdain.
Despite his excitement, Tianqi couldn't help but feel a pang of regret, knowing that these two ancestors of the Uchiha and Senju lived a thousand years ago and were no longer alive.
"What a pity! If I could have lived in the same era as them, I could have gone head-to-head with such a Six Paths level expert. What a pity, what a pity!" As Tianqi lamented inwardly, he unconsciously exerted a little force in his hand, and the long Tianqi was pulled out slightly.
Just as the long sword was pulled out a little, the Rinnegan pattern carved on the ground suddenly expanded and enveloped Tianqi. Then, the pattern emitted an extremely dazzling white light, illuminating the entire ancestral hall instantly. Tianqi released his grip on the long sword and held it in front of his eyes.
Just as the white light burst forth, Tianqi frowned and his expression immediately turned grim. He felt a force constantly pulling at him.
"This is the power of space and time. Could this be the spacetime tunnel the system mentioned?" Feeling this power that transcends time and space, Tianqi's expression returned to normal. He never expected that the spacetime tunnel the system mentioned would be here. It was truly an unexpected stroke of luck.
The next moment, the white light dissipated Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan pattern on the ground rapidly shrank, instantly returning to its original state. The long sword stuck in the pattern trembled slightly before returning to stillness, and the entire ancestral hall became quiet again, exactly the same as before, completely devoid of any human presence, as if Tianqi had never been there.
Tianqi himself completely disappeared from the shrine, and his figure was never seen again in the entire Shinobi World.
