Otsutsuki Kaguya opened her Yomotsu Hirasaka and went in first, followed closely by Bai Sui.
Of course, Bai Sui wasn't entirely unprepared; he secretly took precautions to avoid being ambushed or plotted against.
Today's experience has also reinforced Bai Sui's desire to delve deeper into spatial abilities. After all, in his daily use, the Shrinking Ground to an Inch is already sufficient to meet his needs, and he even has the Bai Sui Inner Landscape that allows him to move freely within the Ninja World.
However, in situations like today where extremely long-distance travel is required, this capability proves somewhat inadequate.
However, these are not the most important things right now. The most urgent task is to return to the Ninja World as soon as possible and inform Uchiha and the others that the attack has been completely resolved.
After that, Bai Sui needs to carefully extract the information he wants from the memories of Momoshiki Otsutsuki and Urashiki Otsutsuki. If Bai Sui 'Bai Sui conjecture can come true, it might point him to a path for the future.
After all, given Bai Sui's current state, aside from the ongoing cultivation of the Yang Spirit, there are no other readily available paths forward.
In his previous life, Bai Sui was just an ordinary person. Although he had some understanding of this matter, it was difficult for him to continue supporting Bai Sui now that things had come to this point.
To be honest, being able to cultivate to this level is already an incredible thing for Bai Sui himself, after all, it's not just due to his own efforts, but also to a lot of coincidences.
If he hadn't come to such a world, where he could begin cultivating as soon as his body was fully grown, and even inherit his previous life's Primordial Spirit cultivation, Bai Sui wouldn't have dared to dream of becoming a mere Earth Immortal, let alone a Human Immortal.
As for the higher-level immortals and celestial beings, although there are corresponding records in the Lingbao Bifa, it also describes the corresponding methods to enter the realm of immortals: such as the Five Qi Converging at the Origin, the Three Yangs Gathering at the Top, the Perfection of Merit and Forgetting Form, the Embryo Immortal Transformation, the Yin Exhaustion and Yang Purification, the Body Outside the Body, Shedding Materiality and Ascending to Immortality, and Transcending the Mortal and Entering Sainthood, etc.
However, compared to the cultivation methods of Earth Immortal and those before them, the cultivation of the Immortal stage seems rather general, more like pointing out a general direction rather than providing specific instruction.
If even immortals are like this, then the records of celestial immortals are even more so. It is said that they spread the Tao among mortals, and those who have merit in the Tao and perform good deeds in the mortal world, when their merit and good deeds are fulfilled, receive a heavenly book and return to their celestial abode. This is what is meant by celestial immortals.
But what exactly constitutes the completion of one's merits? Receiving the Heavenly Book to return to the Grotto-Heaven—where did this Heavenly Book come from? And where is the Grotto-Heaven located?
In short, all of this is something that Bai Sui needs to figure out on his own right now, because there are no other fellow Daoists in this world with whom he can communicate.
Although he has been promoting the corresponding culture in the Ninja World for many years, attempting to guide the path of life cultivation in the Ninja World.
However, Bai Sui hesitated to promote the most crucial step of cultivation. One reason was that he himself was not sure if what he was teaching was the true scripture. If what he was teaching was not true, wouldn't he be misleading his students? As the saying goes, "The predecessor taught ten parts, I learned seven or eight. I taught eight or nine, and the successors learned five or six."
Therefore, Bai Sui now focuses more on passing on knowledge rather than teaching, choosing to directly spread the classics. If any genius can comprehend them on their own, that would be ideal, but these classics often contain various cryptic sayings and hidden meanings.
Without the relevant professional knowledge, it is not necessarily possible to understand it, which in turn limits the learning and comprehension of the general public.
For Bai Sui, this was the only option. After all, even though he had already cultivated to the level of Earth Immortal, there were still some things that he couldn't express in words. They were things that could only be understood intuitively.
Of course, these things that cannot be expressed in words can actually be spread, that is, through Bai Sui's own divine consciousness, to teach them to others. However, this will create new problems, which is also the second reason why Bai Sui has not promoted cultivation for the time being.
That is, if the other party accepts Bai Sui's divine sense transmission, in a sense, the other party's path has already been locked. The other party is essentially walking the same old path as Bai Sui. But this is not what Bai Sui wants. What Bai Sui wants is not a group of imitators who walk the same old path as him.
Bai Sui hopes to find a group of like-minded people who have forged their own paths, people who truly have their own unique insights into the Dao and discuss it. If everyone cultivates the same Dao, and they are basically cut from the same mold, then what Dao is there to discuss?
After all, what Bai Sui needs now is not to review the past, but to learn new things and broaden his horizons, so as to pave the way for his future path.
Now, such an opportunity has presented itself to Bai Sui. Whether it is the legendary God of Otsutsuki can transcend this dimension, or the treasure 'Li' that can travel through time and space, they can, to some extent, fulfill Bai Sui's conjecture.
--
Bai Sui and the other person used Yomotsu Hirasaka Otsutsuki Kaguya stepping stone to quickly return to Earth. Afterwards, Otsutsuki Kaguya continued to disguise herself as Black Zetsu and hid inside a bottle.
Although Bai Sui didn't understand why Otsutsuki Kaguya insisted on hiding herself, she really didn't have the energy to deal with such trivial matters right now. She took a step and arrived on the moon from Earth. Since everyone had received Bai Sui's divine message earlier, they all knew that Bai Sui was going to track down the two Otsutsuki members who had suddenly disappeared, so they were all quietly waiting for the results.
Madara Uchiha was the first to spot Bai Sui, who had suddenly appeared on the moon, and got up to greet him. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and surrounded Bai Sui, checking if Bai Sui was injured and waiting for Bai Sui to tell them what had happened.
After all, everyone was still somewhat confused. Although they knew that Bai Sui had gone to chase after the two Otsutsuki clansmen, they didn't know how Bai Sui had done it, nor did they know whether Bai Sui's trip had gone smoothly or whether he had actually dealt with the two.
With a flick of his wrist, Bai Sui retrieved the spiritual and life energy he had obtained after dismantling Urashiki Otsutsuki's chakra and handed it to everyone. "I have dealt with them all, so you don't need to worry for now. We can arrange for someone to turn off the alarm and lift the alert. As for the energy I have, you can use it to train new combat forces according to the previously established plan."
After all, you've all seen the Otsutsuki clan members who came this time; each one of them is quite powerful. If you were to fight one-on-one, aside from the two seniors, Otsutsuki Hamura and Otsutsuki Hagoromo, as well as Senju Hashirama and Madara Uchiha, who can guarantee they could win a one-on-one battle?
Now, three of their clansmen have been lost here. If we add Otsutsuki Kaguya and Ōtsutsuki Isshiki from before, that makes a total of five clansmen. If they send people here again next time, the number will definitely not be the same. Everyone should prepare in advance.
After all, everyone already knows the lifespan of the Ōtsutsuki Clan. As long as they have enough chakra, they can live indefinitely. So, over these hundreds of thousands of years, how many Otsutsuki members will there be?
Afterwards, Bai Sui discussed with everyone the gains and losses of this defensive battle, drawing lessons from it so that they could do their best in the next battle. After all, making mistakes is not terrible; what is terrible is making the same mistake repeatedly.
To be honest, there weren't any major flaws in the previous battles. The main problem was that Senju Hashirama and Madara Uchiha shouldn't have engaged in one-on-one combat.
Although it was also thanks to the previous battles between Senju Hashirama and Madara Uchiha, which to some extent demonstrated the strength of the Otsutsuki clan.
However, the truly optimal solution should be for everyone, except for the reserved defensive personnel, to rush forward and attack together, eliminating as much of the enemy's manpower as possible as quickly as possible and at the lowest cost.
Although the fact that the last Otsutsuki member suddenly appeared was beyond their expectations, given that the entire Ninja World had exhausted all means to break through their blockade of the space around Earth, it was still quite unexpected.
However, if they had truly gathered everyone's strength from the beginning and defeated Kinshiki Otsutsuki and Momoshiki Otsutsuki in a short time, Urashiki Otsutsuki wouldn't have had time to save them, and he might even have perished under their combined attack.
On the other hand, this can also be considered a good thing, after all, this scene taught the experts on Earth a good lesson, making them put away their contempt.
After all, they now know that if Bai Sui hadn't intervened to pursue them, their operation would not only have exposed their strength to the enemy, but they would have also gained nothing of substance.
So even Madara Uchiha, though he still verbally refused to back down, had changed his mind. In the next battle, he would likely cooperate with others to eliminate the enemy as quickly as possible, instead of having Bai Sui clean up their mess like this time.
To be honest, for Madara Uchiha, having Bai Sui clean up their messes was more painful than losing a battle. After all, losing a battle was just a matter of being less skilled.
But when Bai Sui stepped in to cover for them, he felt a sense of shame, like a child who couldn't win a fight and had to call his parents. Well, although there was a little bit of pride deep down, it just made him feel very uncomfortable.
After resolving the matters on the moon, Bai Sui returned to his Grand Tutor's mansion, closed the door to his study, and told everyone not to disturb him. But that wasn't all; Bai Sui then vanished from the spot in a flash.
When it reappeared, it appeared in a vast white void, which was the private space created by Bai Sui's pupil technique 'Huan'.
This place is a vast expanse of white, with no distinction between up, down, left, or right, and no alternation of sun and moon. In this space, apart from Bai Sui himself, there is only a solitary crystal ball floating in the void.
Bai Sui held the crystal ball in her right hand, first using her divine sense to examine it. After confirming that there were no hidden dangers, Bai Sui concentrated all her spiritual power into the crystal ball.
By repeating her previous tactics, Shiraishi successfully extracted as much of Momoshiki Otsutsuki's memories as possible, while also disintegrating all of his chakra.
As for the life energy and spiritual energy after decomposition, Bai Sui didn't bother with them, leaving them in the crystal ball for future use when needed.
Then Bai Sui discovered something that even Bai Sui had previously overlooked: the Primordial Spiritual Energy separated from the chakra did not dissipate quickly as usual, but instead condensed into small clusters of spiritual power in Bai Sui's private space and remained hidden in the void.
These clusters of spiritual energy were extremely small and their concealment techniques were incredibly sophisticated. If this space hadn't been Bai Sui Bai Sui's private property, and everything inside wasn't under his control, it's hard to believe that these tiny clusters of spiritual energy would have been discovered.
Under Bai Sui's observation, these clusters of spiritual energy persisted for a full half month without any external force before completely dissipating, transforming into wisps of spiritual energy that diffused throughout the space.
What does this mean? It means that the Primordial Spiritual Energy that they previously believed to have been destroyed might not have disappeared as they thought. Instead, it's very likely that, over the past two weeks, it flew to an unknown location and gathered there without their knowledge. Could this be the purpose of the owner of this spiritual energy?
Bai Sui Bai Sui has no concrete information about these Primordial Spiritual Energy, as it requires a considerable amount of time to explore. However, his immediate priority is not to find out the origins of these Primordial Spiritual Energy, as there are other things that interest him more.
Those were the memories of Urashiki Otsutsuki and Momoshiki Otsutsuki. Bai Sui had been suppressing her curiosity and hadn't watched them before, but now she was preparing to read them together and verify their memories.
After all, since Bai Sui extracted the memories so brutally, a great deal of damage was bound to occur. Having a reference point would be much better.
