This left Uchiha Shin feeling uneasy. Wasn't the Six-Character Mantra quite common in the Buddhist Sect?
Why had Tathagata Buddha not used it now, while Nanshan Monk had looked so astonished upon hearing it?

Uchiha Shin was astonished. "Why is that?"
How could it be unusable?
"The Six-Character Mantra is a powerful true mantra of our Buddhist Sect. It was developed by our sect's founding ancestor, and its power was immense. But as time passed, fewer and fewer people came to know of it.

Uchiha Shin nodded. "That is indeed
