All Heavens: Transcending Dimensions Starting with the Uchiha

The source of power of the contracted party (shikigami or yokai) will be partially shared with the contractor, while the contractor's will can be absolutely suppressed or even directly stripped of their power through the Divine Tree Network.

This is the core method for the future "Onmyoji" to deal with and control monsters.

"Light Repair!"

Uchiha Sō's voice pierced through the quiet room.

Ming Guangxiu, who had been respectfully waiting outside, immediately pushed open the door and entered. When he saw the two orbs of light in his lord's hand that represented a brand-new power system, as well as the mysterious runes, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he felt a sense of awe originating from the level of life itself.

"My lord!"

"Order: From this day forward, select those with firm will and strong physique from among the elite samurai of the Hojo clan, grant them the 'Seed of Blood and Vitality', and have them practice the 'Fudo Myo-ryu' (tentative name)."

You will personally supervise and strictly control the assessment of character and temperament.

Furthermore, the Yin-Yang Bureau was ordered to prepare a 'Shikigami Examination' to select those with innate spiritual power to study this contract technique.

The Miko Hitomi is in full charge.

"Yes, sir! Your creation of this divine art is the foundation for the eternal prosperity of the Hojo clan and the beginning of a golden age for humanity! I will serve you with my life and never fail you!"

Akechi Mitsuhisa was so excited that his voice trembled as he prostrated himself deeply.

He seemed to see an iron torrent of mortal warriors and an Onmyoji army that commanded shikigami sweeping away demons.

……

On the other hand, the establishment of the Yin-Yang Bureau was in full swing.

The shrine maiden Hitomi demonstrated exceptional leadership and profound spiritual cultivation, managing the initial affairs with remarkable efficiency.

However, when the first batch of "Spiritual Ninjutsu" scrolls improved by Uchiha Eboshi and the core techniques of "Shikigami Contract Technique" were delivered to her, this aloof shrine maiden was completely shocked.

"This...this is definitely not the Yin-Yang technique originally from this world!"

Tongzi carefully studied the scrolls, her beautiful eyes sparkling with wonder.

The spells contained in the scroll are exquisitely conceived, with a rigorous and efficient structure, and their application of spiritual power reaches an unbelievable level.

Especially the shikigami contract, the hidden yet supreme will of domination at its core, made her feel a tremor deep in her soul.

What alarmed her even more was that these spells seemed to be naturally and perfectly suited to her pure spiritual power, as if they were tailor-made for her.

"Qilin Hall... Just who is he? How could he create such a method that resonates with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and directly points to the source of power in such a short time?"

My curiosity about Uchiha Zō's unfathomable power and wisdom was like a stone thrown into a lake, creating ripples that grew ever larger.

She began to unconsciously pay attention to everything about him, and even took the initiative to ask Akechi Mitsuhisa about some details of His Highness’s daily practice (although Akechi Mitsuhisa kept his mouth shut, only saying that His Highness worked hard day and night to comprehend the Great Dao).

Uchiha Sō keenly noticed Hitomi's curiosity.

He extended an invitation at the opportune moment: "Tongzi, these new methods are still in their infancy and need to be practiced and refined. Your spiritual power is pure and you have the deepest understanding of the spiritual energy of this world. Would you be willing to help me improve them? In particular, this shikigami contract requires communication and verification with a powerful spirit, and you are the only one who can do it."

This reason is perfectly legitimate and irrefutable.

With a sense of inquiry and a hint of anticipation that she herself was unaware of, Tongzi stepped into Uchiha Sō's quiet room (which was no longer the previous crystal room, but the more spacious "Shenxuan Hall" equipped with a spirit-gathering array).

Their daily life together began.

Uchiha Sō no longer deliberately maintained that aloof and dignified demeanor. Instead, he appeared exceptionally focused and peaceful when discussing cultivation, and occasionally even revealed a pure, childlike excitement due to the ingenious design of a certain technique.

His powerful mental strength, his vast knowledge (which integrates the wisdom of two worlds), and his insightful understanding of the nature of power all deeply impressed Hitomi.

He showed her how to guide spiritual energy with the mind techniques of the Heart Sutra, making it as easy as using one's own limbs;

How to integrate the shrine maiden's purification barrier with chakra sealing runes to create an even more powerful "evil-sealing seal";

He would even patiently listen to her unique insights on handling a certain spiritual energy node and think about it carefully.

“Tongzi, look here. If you guide your ‘Demon-Slaying Spiritual Power’ with the ‘Si-Wei-Shen’ hand seal sequence, and combine it with the ‘Emptiness Contemplation’ of the Heart Sutra, can you instantly disintegrate the core demonic power of a low-level demon?”

Uchiha Xiang's fingertips flashed with spiritual light as he simulated the process, his movements elegant yet powerful.

Pupil intently observed, attempting to simulate it. Pure spiritual energy danced at her fingertips, creating a wondrous resonance with the energy simulated by Uchiha Ebo: "Your Highness is absolutely right! This increases efficiency by at least 30%! Moreover... it seems to actually reduce the spiritual energy consumption of the caster?"

She looked up, her eyes sparkling with academic inquiry, but inadvertently met Uchiha Sō's deep eyes, which held a gentle smile and appreciation.

At that moment, her heartstrings were gently plucked. The cool and aloof shrine maiden's cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly lowered her head to hide her momentary panic.

Uchiha Sō, appreciating her rare blush, understood what was going on.

Cherry blossoms fluttered outside the hall, while spiritual energy filled the hall. The two stood side by side, discussing profound principles of magic.

Uchiha Xiang was tall and handsome, with a majestic presence like a god descending to earth;

Their pupils were exquisitely beautiful, their spiritual energy as pure as moonlight. A talented man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match in their cultivation, created a breathtaking scene.

When Mitsuhiro Akechi occasionally brought in documents, he would always hold his breath, quietly retreat, and reveal a gratified yet meaningful smile on his face upon seeing this scene.

The servants whispered among themselves that Lady Hitomi and Prince Kirin were a match made in heaven.

Their feelings for each other grew silently.

Tongzi found herself spending increasingly longer periods of time in the Hall of Mysterious Insight, and her heart would sometimes race inexplicably when discussing issues with His Highness.

She began to look forward to seeing that outstanding figure every morning when she stepped into the palace.

Uchiha Sō enjoys the accelerated growth of the Divine Tree brought about by this closeness, and even more so, he enjoys the pleasure of conquering the heart of this unattainable beauty.

The way he looked at her gradually changed from pure appreciation and exploitation to a more genuine tenderness and possessiveness.

……

A night of torrential rain.

The candlelight flickered inside the Hall of Divine Mystery, illuminating the figures of the two approaching each other.

The prolonged spiritual energy resonance simulation left both of them somewhat exhausted, but it also brought them closer together.

The air was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood and the cool, elegant fragrance unique to Tongzi.

Uchiha Sho had just demonstrated to Hitomi a new idea that would integrate the power of a priestess's "words of power" into illusions, and the effect was remarkable.

Tongzi exclaimed sincerely, "Your Highness's talent is truly unparalleled in my life."

Her voice carried a subtle, almost imperceptible, soft charm.

"Without your pure spiritual power as a foundation, these ideas of mine would be nothing but castles in the air."

Uchiha Sho's voice was deep and magnetic. He naturally took a step forward, and the two were so close that they could feel each other's breath.

He reached out and gently brushed aside a strand of hair that had fallen across Tongzi's forehead, his fingertips inadvertently touching her smooth, slightly cool skin.

Tongzi's body trembled slightly, but she did not flinch.

She raised her head, her clear eyes reflecting the flickering candlelight and Uchiha Hashira's handsome face. There seemed to be some emotion surging within them, like an undercurrent beneath a calm lake.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her cherry lips parted as if she had a thousand words to say.

The atmosphere inside the hall instantly became incredibly ambiguous, with the sound of rain seemingly becoming a distant background noise.

Uchiha Sho's gaze fell on her slightly parted lips, and he slowly lowered his head.

Tongzi felt her heart pounding like a drum, her cheeks burning, and she instinctively closed her eyes, as if silently agreeing to what was about to happen.

At this crucial moment, when their feelings were so deep and they were just one step away from confessing their love—

"My lord! Urgent military intelligence!"

Akechi Mitsuhisa's anxious voice, accompanied by hurried footsteps, rang out outside the hall, instantly shattering the idyllic atmosphere.

Tongzi, like a startled deer, took a step back abruptly, her face flushing even more. She hurriedly straightened her not-so-disheveled clothes, her mind a jumbled mess.

A flicker of displeasure at being interrupted flashed in Uchiha Sho's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He took a deep breath, suppressing the ripples in his heart: "Come in!"

Drenched in sweat and with a grave expression, Akechi Mitsuhisa rushed in, not even bothering to bow to Hitomi, and immediately knelt down: "My lord, please forgive me! It's extremely urgent! Our spies infiltrating the Izumo region have sent back top-secret intelligence!"

"speak!"

Uchiha Makoto's voice was calm and steady, but Akechi Mitsuaki, who knew him well, could detect a hint of suppressed emotion.

"It's Lady Kikyo, the priestess!"

Mitsuhisa Akechi's voice was filled with disbelief and horror, "Information confirmed, Kikyo, the priestess who guarded the Shikon Jewel fifty years ago and sealed away Inuyasha, the son of the dog demon Toga... she... she has 'resurrected'!"

"what?!"

Hitomi gasped in shock. As a fellow powerful priestess, Kikyo's name was like a legend to her.

Resurrected from the dead? This is utterly defying all logic!

Mitsuo Akechi added in a very fast voice:

"According to intelligence, it was the work of the demon woman, Oni-tama! She stole Kikyo-sama's ashes and used evil magic and fragments of the Shikon Jewel to reshape Kikyo-sama's body with clay, and then used dead soul worms to collect the souls of girls and fill them in!"

The Kikyo of today... is no longer human, but a vengeful spirit priestess filled with resentment and obsession!

She seems to be...searching for something!

"Ghost Pottery...clay body...dead soul...resentment..."

Uchiha Xiang repeated these keywords in a low voice, his eyes suddenly becoming incredibly sharp, like lightning piercing through a rainy night.

His hand, resting on the table, clenched unconsciously, his knuckles turning slightly white. A complex emotion, difficult to describe (shock, anger, and a hint of barely perceptible regret?), surged deep within his eyes, even causing a momentary disruption to the spiritual energy of the surrounding space.

The candlelight inside the Hall of Divine Mystery flickered violently, as if it might go out at any moment.

He never expected that Kikyo would "return" to this world in this way!

This seems to align with the trajectory of the "original work" as he knows it, but when it actually happens in the world he has created, the impact is completely different.

More importantly, a vengeful spirit priestess filled with resentment, possessing unknown power, and possibly holding a shard of the Shikon Jewel will be one of the biggest variables on his path to ruling this world and cultivating the Divine Tree!

Hitomi keenly caught Uchiha Sō's momentary loss of composure and the complex emotions surging in his eyes.

Her heart sank suddenly, and an unprecedented wave of bitterness and doubt washed over her:

Your Highness… seems particularly concerned about this priestess named Kikyo? That look in your eyes is definitely not just wariness of a powerful enemy or a variable…

The torrential rain outside intensified, lashing the palace that symbolized power and rebirth.

The budding feelings were abruptly interrupted by this sudden change, replaced by a sense of impending doom.

Uchiha Sō's "Journey Through the Heavens" encountered its first powerful challenge from fate (or perhaps the Heavenly Dao of this world or the mastermind behind it?).

Meanwhile, the curiosity about the Kirin Palace in the shrine maiden Hitomi's heart was also subtly mixed with a hint of indescribable loss and curiosity.

As Uchiha Ezra's emotions surged violently, the seed of the Divine Tree trembled slightly deep within the earth's veins, as if sensing the approach of powerful resentment and the force of destiny. It quietly accelerated its absorption, and a tiny flower bud with dark red patterns quietly began to grow deep within the roots, unnoticed by anyone.
