Chapter 436 The Key to Getting Rid of the Otsutsuki Ancestor's Chakra Seal

Then, more than a decade later, during the Boruto era, the Otsutsuki clan descended upon the land.

Is this because the Six Paths level Yin-Yang Release chakra on Naruto and Sasuke has been sending messages to the Otsutsuki clan that they can be harvested?

That's why the Otsutsuki clan was able to reach the Ninja World planet in just over a decade.

Li Yao thought it was very likely.

As for why Naruto and Sasuke seemed to have never been watched by the ancestor of the Otsutsuki clan, and why everything seemed unclear, Li Yao also had his own guesses.

This is related to the fact that Naruto and Sasuke's Six Paths Chakra was not something they cultivated themselves.

Just like Madara and Obito, who gained Six Paths level chakra by becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, neither of them could sense the gaze of the ancestor of the Otsutsuki clan.

When Li Yao's Obito clone became the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki and controlled the Six Paths Truth-Seeking Balls, he also couldn't sense the gaze of the Otsutsuki Ancestor.

Only someone who can condense Six Paths level chakra using their own chakra can sense the gaze of the Otsutsuki Ancestor and guess that their chakra has been marked.

"So, here's the question?"

"The Sage of Six Paths knew that bestowing the Six Paths Yin-Yang Release upon Naruto and Sasuke would attract the Otsutsuki clan, so why didn't he take away Naruto and Sasuke's Yin-Yang Release after sealing Kaguya Otsutsuki?"

Li Yao found it a bit strange.

The Sage of Six Paths must have known that Naruto and Sasuke, who possessed the Six Paths Yin-Yang Release, would attract the Otsutsuki clan.

The ninja world will once again be plunged into crisis.

The Divine Tree may be planted again on the planet of the Ninja World.

The ninja world may even be destroyed.

Why didn't the Sage of Six Paths, who knew all this, take back the Six Paths Yin-Yang Release from Naruto and Sasuke?

Is it intentional refusal to accept?

We still can't get it back?

Or perhaps Naruto and Sasuke regained control of the Six Paths Yin-Yang Release?

One question after another arose, and Li Yao couldn't fathom the deeper meaning behind it.

"Forget about it, let's not worry about that."

Li Yao shook his head, pulling his thoughts back to reality. The safety of the ninja world was none of his business.

What he needs to do now is find a way for the Sage of Six Paths to get rid of the chakra mark of the progenitor of the Otsutsuki clan.

First, it is about getting rid of the physical body.

Chakra is formed by the fusion of spiritual energy and physical energy.

As chakra is condensed, it also strengthens and influences the physical body and soul.

Therefore, there is a high probability that both physical and mental energy were also marked with the mark of the ancestor of the Otsutsuki clan.

To get rid of chakra imprints, one must get rid of the imprints in spiritual and physical energy.

Abandoning the physical body means abandoning the body's energy and removing half of the chakra seals.

It's easy to abandon the physical body, but the soul can still live.

But the soul cannot be abandoned, so how can the imprint on spiritual energy be removed?

Li Yao frowned in thought.

"Pure Land!"

Li Yao thought of this special soul space.

After the Sage of Six Paths abandoned his physical body, his soul remained in the Pure Land for thousands of years without ever showing its face in the ninja world.

He only resurfaced in the ninja world during the Fourth Shinobi World War, using the remaining chakra from Madara's lower body.

Pure Land is definitely a key factor.

"Pure Land... Pure... Could it be...?"

A thought suddenly struck Li Yao: the key to the name "Pure Land" might lie in the word "pure".

Does this mean that the Pure Land can purify the chakra imprint of the Otsutsuki ancestor in one's soul, which is why the Sage of Six Paths has remained in the Pure Land and never left?

Or perhaps the Pure Land can shield the Otsutsuki clan's perception of the Sage of Six Paths?

Regardless of which possibility it is.

Li Yao was certain that Pure Land was a key to getting rid of the chakra imprint of the Otsutsuki ancestor.

"That should be it!"

Li Yao was somewhat excited.

"So...did the Pure Land already exist, or was it created by the Sage of Six Paths?"

"This is also crucial."

Li Yao suddenly frowned.

If the Pure Land already exists, then as long as Li Yao abandons his physical body and his soul ascends to the Pure Land, with his Six Paths level soul purified, he will not be afraid of the difficulties posed by the Six Paths Immortal.

But if the Pure Land was created by the Sage of Six Paths, and he abandoned his physical body to enter the Pure Land, arriving in the Sage of Six Paths' domain, then his soul would be a lamb to the slaughter.

Before understanding the specifics of the Pure Land, Li Yao cannot rashly abandon his physical body.

Li Yao carefully recalled information about the Pure Land from his previous life.

After thinking for a while, Li Yao had a headache.

There is no definitive answer in the original text regarding who created the Pure Land.

Li Yao initially believed that the Pure Land was created by the Sage of Six Paths for three reasons.

The first is that the Sage of Six Paths can freely enter and exit the Pure Land space, and can quickly pull Naruto's soul into the Pure Land, and bestow the power of the Six Paths upon Naruto and Sasuke in the Pure Land space.

The second point is that the souls of the Sage of Six Paths' two sons can be reincarnated repeatedly in the ninja world, while other souls cannot, which clearly shows that the Sage of Six Paths had great control over the Pure Land.

Finally, the Rinnegan can connect to the Pure Land, bringing out resurrected souls from within, and can also absorb and devour souls.

The Rinnegan is precisely the most distinctive feature of the Sage of Six Paths.

Based on the above three points, it is highly likely that the Pure Land was created by the Sage of Six Paths.

Li Yao even boldly speculated that the Pure Land was a special soul space created by the Sage of Six Paths using the soul power of the Rinnegan.

Having considered this, despite the lack of evidence, Li Yao was already inclined to believe that the Pure Land was created by the Sage of Six Paths.

Following this line of thought, Li Yao continued to ponder.

"If that's really the case... then could I also start by improving the soul abilities of the Rinnegan, then create my own Pure Land space to purify the chakra imprint of the Otsutsuki clan's progenitor within my soul?"

"If possible... then the most important thing I should do next is to enhance my soul abilities."

"That's right, it's about enhancing soul abilities!"

Li Yao thought about it more and more and felt that this line of thinking was correct.

It's easy to abandon the physical body, since the soul remains.

But abandoning the soul is impossible.

Therefore, the only way to remove the chakra imprint of the Otsutsuki ancestor from the soul is to enhance the soul's abilities.

Just like before, after Li Yao's soul ability improved, he was able to clear the will fluctuations of Madara and Black Zetsu in his soul... just like that!

"Oh, right!"

"Willpower fluctuation!"

Li Yao's expression brightened with joy. He suddenly realized that the mark left in his soul by the ancestor of the Otsutsuki clan must be a form of will fluctuation.

Therefore, as long as the will fluctuations of the Otsutsuki clan's ancestor are removed from his soul, his soul will no longer be located by the Otsutsuki clan.

In this way, he can hide in the Pure Land or his own divine space without worrying about being hunted down by the Otsutsuki clan.

In this way, without creating a Pure Land, Li Yao can also escape the gaze of the ancestor of the Otsutsuki clan.

"Perfect Transformation!"

Li Yao couldn't help but smile slightly.

He truly never expected that the perfect transformation technique he had been trying to develop ever since he transmigrated into the Naruto world would actually come in handy here, and even save his life.

The step of removing the will from his soul during the development of the perfect transformation technique turned out to be the key to him escaping the gaze of the ancestor of the Otsutsuki clan.

All I can say is... this is fantastic!
