Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 525 Psionic Conversion

The life energy absorbed from the two women vanished as if it had been swallowed up in an instant.

But at that very moment, a slight fluctuation of soul energy suddenly arose in one of the embryonic cells within the two women's bodies, where life energy had returned to normal.

Moreover, its soul fluctuations are different from those of other embryonic cells.

At this moment, the soul fluctuations within the embryonic cells of the two women were very powerful and mature, emitting strong soul fluctuations the instant they appeared.

When other women, including Kushina and Mikoto Uchiha, had their first three pregnancies, the embryonic cells showed the first trace of soul fluctuations. Those soul fluctuations were not only weak but also so pure that they were not even detectable as soul fluctuations.

It must undergo a month of development before it can emit a fluctuation similar to that of a soul.

However, the soul fluctuations generated by Kushina and Mikoto Uchiha's pregnancy were mature the moment they appeared, making them true soul fluctuations.

"So, the babies this time are Sasuke and Naruto, or rather, the reincarnations of Indra and Ashura."

Li Yao released the two women, a look of realization on his face. He had said it before, how could the reincarnations of Asura and Indra be completely different?

Sure enough, this time he discovered the secret of the birth of the soul!

"Haha, the soul is born from life energy!"

Li Yao's lips curled into a wild smile as he drew his conclusion.

Although he still couldn't see the process of the soul's birth, the large amount of life energy absorbed by the embryonic cells suddenly disappeared, while that trace of soul fluctuation appeared at that moment.

The connection is already quite obvious.

Moreover... Li Yao should have thought of this principle long ago.

The Scorpion's Soul Replication Array has long revealed that the soul can be transformed from life energy.

The Soul Replication Array merges all the life energy and spiritual energy in all the cells of the body into one, forming a soul flame life form that possesses both life energy and spiritual energy.

This shows that life energy and the soul can be transformed into each other.

"Scorpion, you really are a terrifyingly overlooked creature!!"

Li Yao couldn't help but sigh repeatedly at this moment.

After discovering that life energy can be transformed into soul energy and can enhance the soul, everyone understands that as long as life energy can be transformed into soul energy and absorbed, the strength of the soul can be improved.

However, no one has been able to figure out how to transform life energy into soul energy.

Even the Sage of Six Paths is no exception.

Now Li Yao understands why the Sage of Six Paths has allowed the souls of his two sons to be reincarnated in the ninja world for thousands of years.

It's not about fate a thousand years from now.

It wasn't that she couldn't bear to see her son's soul perish in this world.

This is entirely because the Sage of Six Paths also discovered the secret that life energy can be transformed into soul energy.

However, he was unable to convert life energy into soul energy and then have his own soul absorb it.

The mystery of life energy transforming into soul energy only occurs at the moment when a woman becomes pregnant and the first trace of soul energy is born.

However, Li Yao believed that even he, in his current state, could not perceive how life energy was transformed into soul energy, nor could the Sage of Six Paths.

In terms of perception, Li Yao, whose consciousness is integrated with chakra, can only perceive energy stronger than the Sage of Six Paths at the same level of power.

If he couldn't sense it, then the Sage of Six Paths naturally couldn't sense it either.

However, it was clear that the Sage of Six Paths realized that because his two sons had powerful souls, they would require a lot of life energy when they were reincarnated, and they would be able to clearly perceive the disappearance of life energy and the appearance of soul fluctuations.

Therefore, for thousands of years, the Sage of Six Paths has continuously reincarnated the souls of his two sons in the ninja world in order to find the secret of transforming life energy into soul energy.

Li Yao even felt that the Sage of Six Paths was currently sensing the situation inside the bodies of the two women, Kushina and Mikoto Uchiha, through the souls of his two sons.

In fact, the Sage of Six Paths in this world has been paying close attention to the reincarnation process of his two sons' souls.

On the dark, yellow surface of the lake, the Sage of Six Paths opened his eyes, revealing a look of disappointment.

"Failed again!"

The Sage of Six Paths sighed, a ripple appearing in his eyes. A thousand years had passed, and the prophesied arrival of the Otsutsuki clan in the ninja world was within this hundred years, yet his soul was still not strong enough.

Although the souls absorbed by the Pure Land Space over the past thousand years have greatly enhanced his soul, it is still not enough; he needs his soul to become even stronger.

However, given the Pure Land Space's absorption capacity, his soul couldn't grow strong enough within a century to rival those twin Starry Sky Eyes.

The secret of transforming life energy into soul energy is the only way to enhance his soul strength in a short period of time.

Unfortunately, over the course of a thousand years, the souls of the two sons have been reincarnated hundreds of times.

That's right, over a thousand years, through hundreds of reincarnations.

This indicates that there were at least hundreds of reincarnations, and the souls of the Sage of Six Paths' two sons died before they were even two years old.

How did he die?

Don't ask the Six Paths Immortal.

The questions are all about unexpected events.

Unfortunately, even so, the Sage of Six Paths still did not find the secret of converting life energy into soul energy.

Even the Sage of Six Paths couldn't do that.

Li Yao struggled for two years, but he was at a loss.

Sasori of the Red Sand had already done it several years ago.

That's right.

The secret to transforming life energy into soul energy lies in the Scorpion's Soul Replication Array.

"No wonder I felt murderous towards Scorpion the first time I saw the secrets of the Soul Replication Array, and I felt that Scorpion was too dangerous in the future."

"My gut feeling was right!"

Li Yao shook his head inwardly.

call out!

Li Yao left and went to the Sunagakure Research Institute in person. He secretly examined all the research on the Soul Replication Array in the interstitial space.

"It seems that Scorpion did not expect the Soul Replication Array to be so powerful."

Li Yao looked through it all, including Scorpion's research lab. The research on the soul replication array stopped at the moment Scorpion transformed into a soul flame life form.

After that, Scorpion turned to studying other puppetry techniques.

Now, in order to enhance his soul strength, he is researching how to increase the intensity of his soul flame by burning high-quality chakra.

Therefore, Sasori's research focused on how to transform the absorbed natural energy into higher-quality chakra by modifying the Puppet Heart Seal.

Scorpion had not anticipated that the Soul Replication Array could convert life energy into soul energy.

Li Yao could probably understand why Scorpion couldn't think of an enhancement to the Soul Replication Array.

Because this magic circle concerns the scorpion's life.

The only relevant research data is available on Li Yaofeng's clone technique and Scorpion.

Li Yao uses his Wind Release: Shadow Clone Technique to create clones, which Sasori trusts, but he doesn't trust anyone else.

He feared that if someone learned of the soul replication array, they would find a way to kill him.

Therefore, in order not to expose his weaknesses, Scorpion will not let others know about the Soul Replication Array.

To continue researching the Soul Replication Array, Scorpion would need to conduct human experiments, which would bring the risk of exposing the Soul Replication Array.

Therefore, in order to keep the Soul Replication Array a secret, Scorpion will not continue to research and improve it.

Furthermore, Li Yao believed in Scorpion's arrogance regarding puppetry.

Scorpion must have thought that the Soul Replication Array was already perfect and there was no room for improvement, so he never thought of continuing to study the Soul Replication Array.
