All Heavens: Transcending Dimensions Starting with the Uchiha

Uchiha Xiang tapped his fingertips lightly on the armrest, as if carefully choosing his words, his gaze fixed intently on Tongzi.

"The Great Freedom Heart Sutra presented by Zen Master Yunya is profound and mysterious, emphasizing the perception of spiritual energy and the awakening of the mind. This temple observes the flow of the shaman's spiritual power, which is in harmony with the way of nature. Surely she also has unique insights into this kind of method of perceiving the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?"

He leaned forward slightly, his posture conveying an invitation that was both irresistible and alluring:

"Would the priestess be willing to discuss this with me in her spare time? Whether it be the profound meaning of the Great Freedom Heart Sutra or the priestess's secret methods of communicating with heaven and earth, perhaps, through our mutual verification, we can glimpse a higher and more profound spiritual mechanism of heaven and earth?"

His words were filled with a sincere pursuit and exploration of power.

At the same time, the divine tree's powerful natural affinity, like a gentle net, quietly enveloped Tongzi.

Tongzi's heart trembled slightly.

Exploring spiritual practice?

With this unfathomable Prince Qilin, whose aura is so close to nature?

This is undoubtedly a huge temptation!

She could clearly sense the sincerity in the other person's words and their yearning for the "Tao".

Moreover, the vast and profound aura emanating from the other party was itself a form of guidance for her.

If one can communicate and verify with them, it will definitely be of great benefit to one's spiritual practice!

A faint blush rose on her fair cheeks, like a plum blossom blooming in the snow, fleeting and ephemeral.

She lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes trembled, and her voice, though still cool, had lost some of its aloofness and gained more seriousness.

"Your Highness flatters me. My knowledge is shallow and I dare not offer my insights. But if Your Highness does not mind, I am willing to listen to Your Highness's teachings and explore the wonders of the universe with Your Highness."

Instead of directly refusing, she humbly accepted the invitation to "discuss".

Perhaps, this is the opportunity for my spiritual power to resonate?

Seeing Hitomi's agreement, Uchiha Sho's smile deepened, like a Kirin that had successfully hunted, elegant and determined.

Great, the fish has taken the bait.

By getting closer to her, the divine tree's growth will accelerate, and one can gain a deeper understanding of the origins of this realm's spiritual energy. It's a win-win situation.

"Very good."

Uchiha Sho nodded in satisfaction.

"Once the Yin-Yang Bureau is established and everything is on track, this hall will invite the priestess for a detailed discussion. Zen Master Yunya, please also set about the 'Daguang Temple' matter as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Yunya and Tongzi bowed in response.

Yunya felt a subtle, almost imperceptible envy for Tongzi.

To have His Highness personally discuss cultivation is an immense opportunity!

It seems this priestess holds a very important place in His Highness's heart!

However, he was more focused on his great cause of building temples and spreading Buddhism, and with great enthusiasm, he took his leave, ready to make his mark.

Hitomi, holding a Kagura bell, gracefully exited the main hall, led by a guard.

The moment she turned around, the Kagura bells rang out without wind, producing several extremely melodious and clear sounds, as if responding to the vast natural atmosphere within the hall and the ripples in her heart that she herself was not yet fully aware of.

"This Prince Qilin... is truly unfathomable."

She silently recited to herself, a faint sense of anticipation growing within her for the "discussion" to come.

Silence returned to the main hall.

Uchiha Sho stroked the ancient scroll of the Great Freedom Heart Sutra in his hand, feeling the pulse of the divine tree seed beneath his feet becoming more active due to Hitomi's permission, his eyes flashing with an all-knowing light.

"With the Guandong region secured, the divine tree planted, the cultivation methods mastered, and the 'amplifier' under control... the path to the Great Luo Realm has become clearer."

His deep muttering echoed in the hall, carrying with it an air of absolute confidence and an ambition to reach even greater heights.

"Next, I should study the Great Freedom Heart Sutra carefully and meet that 'favorite of heaven and earth' who can accelerate the growth of the Divine Tree again. The world of Inuyasha... is getting more and more interesting."

Thinking of Tongzi's pure spiritual power and aloof appearance, a hint of amusement and determination crept into the smile on his lips.

Chapter 255, Buddha's Light Shines Over Kanto, Kikyo is Resurrected

The once barren hillside east of Odawara Castle now presents a magnificent sight.

Built against the mountain, the Daikoji Temple rose from the ground in just a few months. Its scale and solemnity far surpass any ancient temple in Japan.

With its flying eaves and arched beams, golden tiles and vermilion walls, it subtly reveals the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty in China, yet also incorporates the exquisite details of Japan.

The temple was filled with the sounds of chanting and the fragrance of sandalwood. The enormous golden Buddha statue shone brightly in the sunlight, overlooking the gradually prosperous Guandong Plain.

The eminent monk Yunya, wearing a brand-new golden robe, stood before the Mahavira Hall, gazing at the endless stream of pilgrims and monks below the mountain, his heart filled with emotion.

Since Kirinden Uchiha Sō made the imperial decree to build Daiko-ji Temple and appointed him as its abbot, the news spread like wildfire throughout the Buddhist community of Japan.

"Senior Brother Yunya, I never imagined you would have such good fortune!"

An elderly monk who had traveled all the way from Mount Hiei looked at the magnificent temple before him, his eyes filled with undisguised envy and astonishment.

"The layout of this temple contains supreme Buddhist principles and is further blessed by abundant human fortune. If one could cultivate here, one would surely make rapid progress!"

Yunya smiled with his palms together, his appearance solemn: "It is all thanks to the grace of the Qilin Palace. Your Highness is chosen by Heaven, cares for all living beings, and wishes to use Buddhism to save the chaotic world. This humble monk has only done his bit to contribute to Your Highness's great aspirations."

He spoke humbly, but the smugness of having found a wise ruler was undeniable in his eyes.

Inside the hall, a grand Dharma assembly was underway. Yunya ascended the altar to preach the Dharma, expounding the "Great Freedom Heart Sutra," which he had initially comprehended and which vaguely incorporated a trace of the all-encompassing aura of the Uchiha elephant's "Great Luo Realm."

He no longer limited himself to the scriptures, but combined the "power of domination" and "natural affinity" shown by Uchiha Zō to expound a new Buddhist principle of "embracing the world with the heart, governing the universe with the will, and protecting life with compassion".

"Fellow practitioners, His Highness has said that Buddhism is not a boat to escape the world, but a raft to save it! Our practice, purifying our minds and awakening our true selves, is not only for our own liberation, but also to use the power of this awakening to protect all the people under His Highness's rule, to cleanse demons and evil spirits, and to restore clarity to the world! This is the true meaning of 'Great Freedom,' and it is also the way we repay His Highness's boundless grace!"

His voice was loud and clear, containing a peculiar power that was both calming and subtly invigorating.

This was not his original cultivation level, but rather a result of being on the edge of the Divine Tree Domain, where he was constantly bathed in the gentle yet vast world origin energy adjusted by the Uchiha Eboshi.

Many monks whose spiritual cultivation had stagnated felt their bottlenecks loosen and their spiritual energy flow more smoothly after listening to the lecture!

"Master Yunya's words are excellent!"

"Following the Qilin Hall, promoting the righteous Dharma, and protecting all living beings—this is the true path for us Buddhist monks!"

"The Master's explanation of the Heart Sutra seems to be more profound and mysterious than what this humble monk knows, and it even has the air of domination and harmony?"

In a short time, Daguang Temple became famous, attracting not only a large number of devout believers, but also many eminent monks who were originally practicing in seclusion or scattered among the people to come and seek refuge.

They were either attracted by the rich spiritual energy environment of the temple, or impressed by the new Buddhist principles expounded by Yunya that suited the needs of the chaotic world. More importantly, they saw the enormous opportunity brought by relying on this "destined" Prince Qilin—the great prosperity of Buddhism was just around the corner!

Daikoji Temple has become a new Buddhist holy site in Japan, and another important node for the Uchiha clan to gather spiritual power in this world and accelerate the growth of the Divine Tree.

……

Meanwhile, deep within Uchiha Eizo's palace, in a quiet room entirely constructed of a massive, transparent crystal (refined from earth-style ninjutsu combined with spiritual energy), the atmosphere was mysterious and unpredictable.

Uchiha Sho sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed. The scroll of the Great Freedom Heart Sutra was not unfolded, but floated in front of him, emitting a soft, pale golden light.

The contents of the scriptures had already been imprinted in his mind by his powerful mental strength.

There were no violent energy fluctuations around him, but the entire space of the quiet room seemed to be slightly distorted and folded in rhythm with his breathing.

In his spiritual world (or rather, the projection of the Dao Fruit "Great Luo Realm" in this world), the scenery is even more astonishing.

The vast nebula spun, a manifestation of his own chakra origin and his analysis of the spiritual energy of this world.

Countless profound runes (combining Naruto sealing techniques, summoning contract runes, and the true meaning of the Sanskrit Heart Sutra) shimmered, collided, and recombined like stars.

"Having seen that the five aggregates are all empty, one transcends all suffering and distress..."

As his thoughts flowed, his understanding of the nature of chakra deepened.

Chakra originates from the Divine Tree and is a mixture of life energy and spiritual energy.

At this moment, he attempts to analyze, purify, and integrate "spiritual energy," which is more inclined towards the natural origin, using the concept of "emptiness" described in the Heart Sutra.

The combination of spiritual energy (Yin Dun) and natural energy (the spiritual energy of this world) became smoother than ever before in his hands.

"Form is emptiness, emptiness is form..."

The profound mystery of the transformation of matter and energy emerges.

With a slight twitch of his fingertips, a wisp of pure chakra (fused with spiritual energy) shot out. It did not transform into a ninjutsu, but instead condensed in the air into a "spiritual leaf" as thin as a cicada's wing yet as strong as refined steel. Then it turned into specks of fluorescent light and dissipated, returning to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

This represents a more refined control over the form of matter.

"With a mind free from all attachments, there is no fear..."

Uchiha Zō's powerful mental strength was awakened.

This directly applies to the core principle by which he grants extraordinary power to others.

With a thought, a warrior in a military camp who was undergoing arduous training and had been endowed with the "seed of blood energy" by him suddenly felt that the blazing power within his body had become more docile and agile, and its operating efficiency had increased by 10%!

The samurai, not understanding why, thought he had suddenly realized something and became even more fanatical in his faith in the Kirin Palace.

"Wonderful! This sutra points directly to the origin of the mind and connects with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It is not incompatible with the chakra system, but rather complementary!"

Chakra provides the framework and explosive power to drive techniques, while the spiritual energy and mental laws of this world offer more refined control, longer endurance, and a 'momentum' that resonates with the heavens and earth!

Uchiha Sho suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils seemingly containing the birth and death of stars, and also the flow of Sanskrit characters.

He raised his hand, palm up:

[The Way of the Blood Warrior: A fiery red energy ball, as intense as molten lava yet brimming with vitality, emerges. This is formed by combining chakra refining techniques with the spiritual energy of this world (strengthening the body and the source of life) and the initial "willpower condensation" method of the Heart Sutra.]

Cultivators will possess physique and recovery ability far exceeding that of ordinary people, and will be able to integrate their will into attacks, unleashing effects similar to "superhuman strength" or even rudimentary "domineering aura," and will have a natural resistance to demonic energy and evil spirits.

This skill has a relatively low barrier to entry, making it suitable for widespread adoption by large-scale military operations.

[Spiritual Ninjutsu: He formed a hand seal with his other hand (simplifying the complex hand seals of the Hokage, focusing more on spiritual guidance and spiritual resonance), and softly uttered: "Wind."

There was no strong wind in the quiet room, only a nearly transparent yet sharp spiral of air silently swirling around, containing cutting power far exceeding that of ordinary wind escape, but consuming less energy.

This is the result of a deep resonance between the wind-attribute chakra nature transformation and the spiritual energy of wind in the world.

Subsequent basic escape techniques such as "fire," "water," and "earth," as well as more advanced combination ninjutsu and genjutsu, have all undergone improvements incorporating spiritual energy, resulting in greater power, more concealed casting, and better suitability to the environment of this world.

【Onmyoji Art: Shikigami Contract (Improved Version): A tiny, complex contract rune made of pure spiritual energy takes shape in the air.

This borrows from summoning techniques and the methods used by Onmyoji in this world to control shikigami, but it was reconstructed by Uchiha Sō using the authority of the Divine Tree as its core.
