Shisui carefully sensed it for a moment, then smiled happily and said, "With the help of Xiang-ge and Jingyue-ge last time, my Mangekyou Sharingan also underwent a significant transformation. Although the problem of eye power consumption has not been completely solved, compared to before, being able to recover eye power on its own is already a major breakthrough."

Exchanging secrets is the fastest way to bring people closer.

After the priestess, Uchiha Sō, and Shisui learned each other's secrets and became members of the same organization, their relationship quickly became much closer.

After obtaining the "chosen worker" Mouryou, Uchiha Sho was already thinking about how to ask the priestess for help and learn the sealing techniques of the priestess lineage.

Once he learns it, this guy Wangliang will be completely at his mercy.

Uchiha Xiang carried the priestess down the mountain.

The first person they encountered was Guy. Clearly, Guy was faithfully carrying out Uchiha Eiji's orders, guarding the mountainside the entire time and preventing the Iwagakure and Sunagakure ninjas from entering the area at the summit of Fengmo Mountain without authorization.

Seeing that the three people at the mountaintop altar had all come down safely, Kai flashed his signature smile and gave a thumbs up.

"As expected of Uncle Xiang, I knew you would succeed!"

Kakashi, who was not far away, rolled his eyes.

You didn't say that before. Kai has also learned to be "bad" from his uncle!

Ebizo of Sunagakure did not step forward, but stood still, carefully observing Uchiha Sō and Shisui.

The commotion on the mountain was felt by the ninjas below.

Therefore, anyone can guess how fierce the battle at the mountaintop was.

The fact that the young Uchiha Zō and Shisui were able to survive made Ebizō look at them with new respect.

On the other side, the Iwagakure ninjas were clearly looking at Uchiha Sō and Shisui with hostility.

Their captain, Han, looked thoughtful, as if he was considering something important, to the point that he seemed somewhat absent-minded.

Sensing the hostility from Iwagakure, Uchiha Sō immediately understood.

With the demonic creature that wreaked havoc on the world completely sealed away, the cooperative relationship between the several ninja villages also came to an end.

Instead, the relationship has become one of continued hostility and competition.

At this moment, the priestess who had descended from the Uchiha elephant bowed to the group of ninjas on the mountainside to thank them for their help.

Putting everything else aside, just looking at the broken terracotta warriors scattered all over the mountainside, one can only imagine that the ninjas guarding the foot and waist of the mountain were not having an easy time either.

After all, before the demons were completely sealed away, these terracotta warriors were all immortal.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the group of ninjas escorted the priestess back to the Land of Demons.

Afterwards, the ninjas from Sunagakure and Iwagakure took their leave.

Because the private deal between Uchiha Sho and the priestess was not yet completed, the four Konoha members were temporarily kept in the Land of Demons by the priestess under the pretext of entrusting them with the task of eliminating the remnants of the Yomi Cult.

Of course, the task of wiping out the remnants of the Yellow Springs Cult was entrusted to Kakashi, Guy, and Shisui by Uchiha Sō.

Uchiha Sō, on the other hand, stayed at the Shrine of the Goddess of the Mist to recuperate.

Chapter 191, The Demon's Scheme

The task of eradicating the Yomi Cult was assigned to Kakashi and his two companions, while Uchiha Sō recuperated in the priestess's palace and coordinated matters related to the Land of Demons joining the Heavenly Court.

At the same time, Uchiha Sō also asked the priestess to teach him sealing techniques.

However, the result greatly disappointed him.

The priestess clearly told him that without the priestess's bloodline, there was no way he could learn the sealing techniques of the priestess's lineage.

This has been verified by countless predecessors.

Simply put, the sealing techniques of the shrine maiden lineage are also a kind of bloodline limit.

This is why, for thousands of years, the priestesses of the Land of Demons have been passed down through a single lineage, with no one else able to interfere.

Suppressing his disappointment, Uchiha Sō had no choice but to settle for second best.

Although the priestess could not teach the powerful sealing techniques of the Uchiha Ebo Shrine Maiden lineage, she herself could enter the Great Luo Cave Heaven to assist Uchiha Ebo in subduing the demons.

After changing his approach, Uchiha Sō immediately invited the priestess Miroku into his Great Luo Cave Heaven and asked her to help subdue the demons.

After hearing Uchiha Sō's idea, the priestess Miroku immediately showed great interest.

Within the Great Luo Cave Heaven, the concepts of time and space are redefined.

With a slight thought, Uchiha Sō found himself and the priestess Miroku in an indescribable wonderland.

The ground beneath their feet was not solid earth, but a massive platform suspended in the dark, deep void, composed of countless smooth, mirror-like black rocks that emitted a faint glow, barely illuminating the surroundings.

Beyond the platform, a slow-rotating torrent of chakra, flowing with star-like brilliance, resembles a galaxy composed of ribbons of light, tranquil yet magnificent.

In the far distance, an unimaginably enormous colossal object pierced through the endless void above and below—it was the World Tree, transformed from the ten-tailed larvae.

Its trunk is like a divine pillar supporting the heavens and the earth, with dark gold and deep green patterns flowing on its bark, and some of its thick roots deeply embedded in the endless darkness below.

The other part coils around the edge of the platform like a dragon, exuding an ancient and profound life force, while also carrying an absolute pressure that suppresses all things.

Every slight pulsation of the roots caused the chakra in the entire space to resonate.

"This...this is your world?"

The priestess Miroku's voice trembled uncontrollably.

Her eyes, which had seen through life and death and carried a thousand-year legacy, were now filled with awe.

The strange fluctuations of the rich life energy and spatial laws permeating the air made her feel like a mortal who had stumbled into a divine realm, and a sense of insignificance arose spontaneously within her.

She subconsciously looked at Uchiha Sō beside her. At this moment, the young man seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious halo, blending seamlessly with the world around him.

Uchiha Xiang had a calm smile on his lips, as if he were in complete control. He didn't say anything, but simply waved his hand casually.

In the center of the platform, the space rippled like water as two sealed objects slowly rose.

On the left is the giant cocoon wrapped in layers of white cloth covered with sealing spells, which is now being gently but irresistibly entwined and fixed by several thick roots extending from the World Tree.

The dark golden light flowing along the roots is continuously drawing in the vast and filthy chakra of the demon's body within the cocoon, transforming it into pure life energy to nourish the divine tree. The giant cocoon pulsates slightly under the entanglement of the roots, like a bound heart.

On the right, a simple wooden box that seals the soul of a demon floats in the air.

On the surface of the box, the golden sealing runes drawn by the priestess herself were flashing steadily.

"Miroku, please begin."

Uchiha Eiji said calmly, his gaze fixed on the wooden box.

Maitreya took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the pounding in his heart.

She formed hand seals, pure white chakra flowing from her fingertips, and chanted ancient and obscure incantations.

As she moved, the golden sealing runes on the wooden box seemed to come alive, beginning to flow and unravel.

A thick, dark purple chakra, as thick as solid mud, suddenly gushed out from the box!

This chakra, imbued with intense malice and madness, instantly condensed in the air into the hideous and twisted phantom of the demon's soul.

As soon as it was freed, it let out a silent shriek and instinctively tried to pounce on the giant cocoon that was entangled by roots.

However, an invisible, immense pressure emanating from the entire Great Luo Cave Heaven suddenly descended, as if the weight of the entire world were pressing down on its illusory soul!

The ghostly phantom of the demon twisted and trembled violently, emitting painful howls, and was pinned to the air, unable to move an inch.

For the first time, its eyes, composed of pure malice, clearly reflected the World Tree's majestic figure piercing through the void, the giant cocoon emanating a terrifying aura beneath its roots, and the black-haired youth at the edge of the platform, coldly looking down at it like a god.

An unprecedented and immense fear, stemming from the very instinct of life, like a cold, venomous snake, instantly coiled around the core of the demon's soul.

"No...impossible! Where...where is this place?!"

The ghostly energy fluctuations conveyed an undisguised panic; all its ferocity and pride crumbled instantly when faced with this power beyond comprehension.

Uchiha Sō's voice, like cold metal, clearly pierced through the barriers of space and directly imprinted itself on the soul of the demon.

"Your body and soul are both in my hands. Demons, submit, or... be utterly annihilated."

The spirit's soul trembled violently, its thoughts, purely composed of malice, operating wildly under the absolute threat of death.

It stared intently at Uchiha Eiji's crimson eyes, which gleamed with the eternal kaleidoscope pattern in the darkness, and then glanced at the priestess Miroku, who stood ready beside it.

An extremely insidious plan was instantly formed.

"Wait! A powerful human!"

The ghost's soul fluctuations suddenly became "tamed," even taking on a twisted, obsequious quality.

I acknowledge your strength!

I am willing to submit!

I wish to enter into the oldest and most powerful psychic pact with you, to become your most loyal servant! Please give me a chance!

Let me return to my body, and I will show you all my loyalty and strength!

Its gaze was focused on Uchiha Zan with utmost sincerity, and its soul fluctuations conveyed a sincere prayer.

Maitreya's expression changed, and he immediately issued a warning.

"Elephant Lord! It's deceiving us! The demon is incredibly cunning and absolutely untrustworthy! If it were to unite its spirit and body, the consequences would be unpredictable!"

She understood the true nature of this age-old rival all too well.

Uchiha Sō, however, merely raised his hand slightly, signaling Miroku to remain calm.

There was no surprise on his face; instead, a playful smile appeared, as if he were watching a drama whose ending he already knew.

"Oh? A psychic contract? Interesting. Miroku priestess, please temporarily release the seal binding your body."

“Elephant Lord!” Maitreya called out urgently.

"It's alright."

Uchiha Sō's voice was calm and unwavering, "Return it to its place."

Looking at Uchiha Elephant's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, which was as deep as an abyss and seemed to see through everything, Miroku gritted his teeth and finally chose to believe.

She formed a hand seal again, pointing to the giant cocoon entwined by the roots of the World Tree.

The sealing runes on the white cloth quickly dimmed and faded.

The roots that were wrapped around the giant cocoon also loosened slightly, but did not completely withdraw.

"Roar--!"
