The world begins with refining skills

Chapter 391 Soul Severing! Soul Refining! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The Pure Land of the Underworld, an island for souls.

The source of the forbidden technique, the Death God's phantom, has been dismantled into a pile of flesh and bones.

Two horns over a meter long, hundreds of bones of varying sizes, a death skin over a hundred square meters, and a pile of internal organs of various shapes.

At first glance, it looks like the crime scene of a deranged serial killer.

Fortunately, the bright and pure sunshine on the island offset the terrifying atmosphere brought about by the autopsy scene.

"Finally done!"

Mu Sheng wiped away non-existent sweat, looking utterly exhausted.

With a thought, Mu Sheng's body rapidly shrank, returning to its original size in just a few breaths.

As his body regained its original size, the dismembered corpse of Death gradually disappeared.

It was as if there was an invisible giant mouth, swallowing these pieces of corpse one by one.

Death's internal organs, bones, and skin were quickly swallowed up by that mouth, leaving only two horns more than a meter long.

"Since the Grim Reaper can only be seen by those who use forbidden techniques and those attacked by the Grim Reaper, could it be forged into some special weapons?"

Mu Sheng picked up the two horns and examined them carefully. He felt that their length was just right to be forged into the blade of a ninja sword.

"If it's invisible to ordinary people but can harm the soul, wouldn't that be a Zanpakuto?"

Mu Sheng's eyes lit up, and he instantly became interested.

With a stomp of his foot, a forging platform rose from the ground.

Mu Sheng picked up his tools and started tapping and banging on the horns of death.

Light the fire, heat it, pound it, and shape it.
They were so busy and enthusiastic; it really looked like they were really doing something.

But these processes are actually useless; ordinary forging methods cannot be used to process the horns of death.

These seemingly simple acts of burning and hammering are actually Mu Sheng using the power of the [Yellow Spring Pure Land] to reshape the horns of the Grim Reaper.

But men always need a little sense of ritual!
Ding! Ding ding!

Ding! Ding ding!

A rhythmic clanging sound rang out from the center of the island and spread throughout the entire island.

"what sound?"

"That direction is probably where Lord Kanbara is doing something."

A few kilometers away from Musheng, in a building near the sea, more than a dozen ninjas who had died in battle and were pulled into the Pure Land space gathered here.

Among the dozen or so people were Uchiha ninjas with flame fan patterns printed on their bodies, and Hyuga ninjas with wings of freedom branded on their foreheads and Byakugan.

"Lord Kanbara controls the world of the dead, and he seems even more powerful than the legendary Sage of Six Paths!"

"How can that be just a feeling? Lord Kanbara is stronger than the Sage of Six Paths!"

"If that's the case, then the Sage of Six Paths is already a sage, so how can Lord Kanbara only be a lord?"

"What's his name? The Hermit of Kambara?"

"No, that would put him on the same level as the Sage of Six Paths. I think the title of Immortal Venerable is more appropriate."

"Kamihara Immortal Lord? Lord Immortal?"

"This is good! This is good!"

Everyone agreed with the title of "Immortal God of the Divine Origin".

So, without Mu Sheng's knowledge, he gained another title, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

The clanging of metal being struck echoed beyond the island and continued into the depths of the ocean.

"Damn it! That evil human actually threw me this far away."

The nine tails of the little nine-tailed fox spun rapidly like propellers, propelling its body across the sea.

Like a red torpedo missile, it stirred up a wave tens of meters long behind it.

"over there!"

The little nine-tailed fox quickly spotted a black dot in the distance, which was the only island in this ocean.

"You despicable thief, the Nine-Tailed Fox is back!"

The little nine-tailed fox adjusted its direction and charged menacingly toward the island.

Even if it's no match for Mu Sheng, it'll still make the opponent bleed.

suddenly,
boom!
Nine-Tails seemed to have bumped into something and tumbled away.

After tracing a high parabola in the sky, it plunged into the sea with a splash.

"Pah, pah, pah, what is that plotting against you, Nine-Tailed Fox?"

The little nine-tailed fox emerged from the sea in a disheveled state, spitting out the seawater from its mouth, and glared angrily in the direction where the car had overturned.

"what?"

Little Nine-Tailed Fox suddenly discovered something.

A person, a person floating on the sea, a person that even if he turned to ashes, it would still recognize—Minato Namikaze!
This is the guy who sealed him in this godforsaken place, causing his body to be taken over by that evil human.

Little Nine-Tailed Fox was unaware that it had been sealed inside the stomach of the Grim Reaper, and that the Grim Reaper had been devoured by Mu Sheng before it ended up here.

In its memory, it had barely managed to escape from the abuse of Kushina Uzumaki, that red-haired woman.

Then he was sealed away by Minato Namikaze again!
To it, neither of these two people were good people!
Swimming quickly to Minato Namikaze's side, and seeing that he appeared unconscious, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) revealed a cruel smile.

"Jie Jie"

"Finally, it's in my hands."

Looking at Minato Namikaze's face, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) didn't hesitate to swat at him with its claw.

The sharp fox claws instantly left several scratch marks on Minato Namikaze's face.

After being stimulated, Minato Namikaze, who was already showing signs of waking up, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Kyuubi?"

Minato Namikaze was startled. Hadn't he sealed the Nine-Tails away? How could it appear in front of him?

And
"Why is it so small? And where is this place?"

Minato Namikaze had many questions in his mind, but the Nine-Tails didn't give him time to think, baring its fangs and launching an attack on him.

"spiral."

Minato Namikaze was about to use the Rasengan to send the Nine-Tails flying when he discovered that he only had a tiny amount of chakra left in his body.

It can only be used to maintain the existence of the soul; don't even think about using it for combat!

"I almost forgot... I'm already dead!"

boom!
The Nine-Tails didn't care about Minato's situation; with a single claw strike, Minato's body was sent flying backward.

"You blond brat, today I, the Nine-Tailed Fox, will exact my revenge for all the abuse you suffered!!!"

The Nine-Tails no longer sought revenge against Maki, and instead proceeded to give Minato Namikaze a sound beating.

Although they are all enemies, it can still distinguish between the person who hits and the person who gets hit!

In an instant, waves surged across the sea.

"Ok?"

While engrossed in forging iron, Mu Sheng suddenly looked up into the distance, seemingly transcending spatial distance, and saw the Nine-Tails and Minato Namikaze locked in combat.

The Nine-Tails, which was venting its hatred, froze for a moment while Minato Namikaze, who was being brutally beaten by it while it was underwater.

It feels like a terrifying monster is being targeted!

Fortunately, that terrifying gaze disappeared quickly.

"Chakra is such an evil power," Mu Sheng said thoughtfully. "Ninja Sect? Heh." How could the Nine-Tails, who hates Minato Namikaze so much, cooperate with Minato Namikaze to complete Kurama Mode?
Naruto Uzumaki suffered so much hostility and hatred from a young age, so why does he still have that saintly personality?

The underlying reason is the influence of the Sage of Six Paths' ninja ideology.

The ideal of peace and mutual understanding can be achieved by connecting the human mind through chakra.

It sounds reasonable, but it's not!
Everyone is born different. Some people are weak, while others are born with superhuman strength. Some people have so little chakra that they don't even qualify to become ninjas, while others can possess chakra that they can squander at will.

Similarly, some people are determined and can stick to their thoughts and beliefs without wavering.

Some people simply follow the crowd, influenced by one person today and another tomorrow.

The latter far outnumbers the former!
Imagine if the Sage of Six Paths' ideals were realized, and everyone's minds were connected through chakra.

For those weak-willed individuals, wouldn't their very minds be controlled by others?

Following this logic, it's not even as good as Madara Uchiha's Infinite Tsukuyomi plan!

"The Evil Sage of Six Paths"

Mu Sheng casually labeled the Sage of Six Paths and continued his blacksmithing work.

After a few powerful hammer blows, a freshly forged Zanpakuto was completed.

The slender blade is entirely white, with a white ribbon tied to the end, making it look very exquisite.

"I'll call you Yuu Shirayuki!"

Mu Sheng put away the Yu Bai Xue knife, which was modeled after Yu Bai Xue, and continued working on the next one.
With the experience gained the first time, the forging process was much faster this time.

Before long, Mu Sheng had a two-meter-long horse-slaying saber in his hand.

The blade was forged from the horns of Death, giving it a dull, matte finish, while the hilt was crafted from the thirteen spines of Death.

The hilt of the gleaming white sword is segmented and connected internally by fascia, allowing it to be swung out like a whip.

Clang!
Mu Sheng suddenly raised his saber and made a diagonal slash, instantly severing the stone pillar in front of him.

The stone pillar, which was more than ten meters high, began to slide diagonally down along the knife marks.

"Snake bite!"

Mu Sheng slid his hand, which was holding the hilt of the knife, back to the last section of the bone handle, and then suddenly gripped it tightly and swung it away.

The hilt instantly extended into a seven- or eight-meter-long whip, the power flowing through the whip, the blade biting at the falling stone pillar like the fangs of a venomous snake.

More than a dozen blades flashed by!
The stone pillar instantly turned into a pile of rubble and fell to the ground.

With a slight twist of his wrist, Mu Sheng caused the extended hilt to quickly retract and close back into a single hilt.

"The blade is like fangs, and the handle is like a snake's body!"

"I'll call you Orochimaru!"

Mu Sheng unceremoniously stole Orochimaru's name; after all, no one says a sword can't be named that.

If Orochimaru has any objections, let him come find me!
"Let's go, Orochimaru, let's go see how your teacher is doing."

Mu Sheng tucked Yu Baixue into his waistband, carried Orochimaru on his back, and walked forward.

A crack immediately appeared in the ground, revealing a staircase leading deep underground.

After sensing Hiruzen Sarutobi's location, Maki descended to the third level.

Everywhere you look, there are stoves of all sizes, with roaring flames burning beneath them and a large pot on top.

Following the direction from which the screams came, Mu Sheng quickly spotted Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Hey, is the Hokage being boiled in oil?"

Mu Sheng stepped forward and asked, "How's the oil temperature? Should we add some more heat?"

"Kamihara. Victory."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to speak.

The burning sensation from the boiling hot oil was secondary; more importantly, something inside him was constantly being lost.

Mu Sheng reached into the oil pan and rummaged around for a few moments, quickly plucking out several tiny crystals.

"They shipped it out so quickly."

Mu Sheng tried to crush a crystal, and a surge of pure soul energy immediately flowed into his body.

It's like a refreshing cup of cool tea on a summer day, soothing and invigorating.

"Good stuff!"

Mu Sheng's eyes lit up; it seemed he needed to capture more souls to extract their juice.

"And the souls of those prisoners from the previous experiments haven't been processed yet, let's juice them all!"

However, Mu Sheng didn't need to do this himself. As the controller of the [Yellow Spring Pure Land], Mu Sheng simply assigned tasks to the ninjas who had died in battle and arrived in the Pure Land.

"Lord Hokage, you're busy, I'll be going now. No need to see me out."

After bidding farewell to Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was busy cooking in the oil fryer, Maki Sho left the Pure Land space with a thought.

"You bastard, gurgle gurgle!"

Hokage's office.

When Mu Sheng opened his eyes again, two invisible Zanpakuto appeared in his hands.

"Rin, I have a gift for you."

Mu Sheng raised the Yushiro and handed it to Uchiha Rin.

Uchiha Rin looked at Mu Sheng's loosely clenched hand in surprise: "A fist? What kind of gift is this?"

Uchiha Rin even suspected that Maki was holding something in his hand, so she leaned closer to take a look, but saw nothing.

Confused, she still reached out and grabbed Mu Sheng's loosely clenched hand.

"what?"

Uchiha Rin suddenly sensed something; it seemed that Maki Shō really had something in his hand.

The next second, a pure white ninja sword appeared in Uchiha Rin's eyes.

Rin Uchiha raised her hand again, and the ninja sword disappeared from sight once more.

"how did you do that?"

Uchiha Rin's eyes were filled with curiosity as she took Yushirayuki from Maki and began to explore it curiously.

"Is it some kind of unique secret technique?"

"It's not a secret technique, it's a special material. You are the thing that Hiruzen Sarutobi used to seal you."

The image of the Shinigami phantom instantly flashed through Rin Uchiha's mind, and she began to understand what was going on.

"So, this knife can also directly harm the soul?"

Rin Uchiha gently brandished her ninja sword, her gaze sweeping across the room as she looked for someone to test her skills on.

"Don't rush, let me help you recognize your master first!"

Mu Sheng made a hand seal, and immediately twisted runes appeared on You Baixue's blade.

Rin Uchiha recognized the runes; they were the same as those on the skin of the Shinigami phantom.

The distorted runes spread from Uchiha Rin's palm throughout her entire body.

It then quickly disappeared, and a piece of information appeared in Uchiha Rin's mind.

"Pomelo Snow"

Rin Uchiha murmured the name of the sword, understanding the special nature of this Zanpakuto.

She simply swung the Yu Baixue knife lightly, and the blade passed straight through the table without causing any damage.

Only the soul is severed, the physical object remains undamaged!
This means that the enemy is completely unable to withstand the Zanpakuto's attack!
This blade is terrifying!
