Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler
chapter-442

--- Chapter 439 ---

Arriving at the Moon, Yunlong moved his limbs slightly to adjust to the surroundings and commented, "It seemed the Giant Tenseigan (Energy Vessel) is more than a decoration."

"No wonder you don't want your mother to pass away."

"I thought you were being filial." He gave Otsutsuki Toneri a playful look.

Otsutsuki Toneri put on an awkward expression, "I am, and my mother is as important as the Moon for me."

"Is that so?" Yunlong didn't bother to tease Otsutsuki Toneri anymore and solely focused on scanning the Moon.

Unlike the Moon near the Douluo Planet, this one is rather hollow because the Otsutsuki Clan's Branch has lived for thousands of years. Well, it was clear from the Naruto the Last Movie.

Well, the Movie didn't show everything inside.

The Moon, in fact, is not devoid of life because there are many fauna and flora here. That's only on the surface because beneath is like that of a hidden society with lush forests and ancient architecture.

On top of that, Yunlong and Uchiha Madara also sensed Natural Energy in the atmosphere. Although faint, they could tell the difference compared to before.

"This place is good." Ah Yin, the Asura Goddess, commented.

"Master, If I may ask for permission. I wanted to spread my Blue Silver Grass on this Moon."

"You shouldn't ask me for that." Yunlong chuckled while pointing his finger at Otsutsuki Toneri. "Ask him."

"This..." Otsutsuki Toneri was speechless as he got cornered into a difficult spot. "May I know what's your relationship with the Great Ancestor?"

"I'm his slav-! I mean, I'm his loyal servant!" The blue-haired goddess raised her breast proudly.

Yunlong glanced at the Asura Goddess and ordered, "Yin, you can explain the usage of our Blue Silver Grass on our plan to Toneri. Also, give him a basic understanding of our world's power system and cultivation."

"Understood, Master." Ah Yin returned with a nod.

"But aren't I supposed to escort you?" Otsutsuki Toneri was speechless.

Yunlong smiled at the white-haired man and answered, "Hayuri could do that for me. Go and talk with Ah Yin. She would open your perspective on the incoming crisis."

"Hayuri, you can guide us to Sara, right?"

"I can, Great Ancestor." Otsutsuki Hayuri excitedly responded. She quickly led them away, leaving Ah Yin and Otsutsuki Toneri alone.

'Does the Great Ancestor not trust me at all?' Otsutsuki Toneri's eyelids twitched as he stared at Yunlong's back.

Ah Yin noticed this and said, "Boy, your overthinking is unnecessary."

"My master let you talk with me because he deemed you worthy of knowing his master plan for the Shinobi World."

"In fact, you're the first person to have such a chance."

"R-Really?" Hearing the confirmation, Otsutsuki Toneri couldn't help but feel happy inside. For his ancestor to acknowledge him, this was the first time since the mess he created over a decade ago.

"Yes, I won't lie behind my master's back." Ah Yin nodded calmly.

"Anyway, let's cut the chase."

She crossed her arms and added, "I will explain Spirit Master's Cultivation Method to you, so whether you had a chance to experience it depends on my master's decision."

...

Meanwhile, Otustsuki Hayuri is escorting Yunlong and others to the hollow Moon.

She also explained how the Great Tenseigan (Energy Vessel) was part of the Six Paths - Chibaku Tensei that the Sage of Sixth Path and their Ancestor Hamura used to seal the Great Mother from corruption.

Hamura carved the Black Mass and created the Great Tenseigan (Energy Vessel) using a 'special' technique, allowing the branch members to do a ceremony and seal their Byakugan into it.

Besides providing the Moon with all kinds of natural energy, the Great Tenseigan (Energy Vessel) also granted a chance to awaken the Tenseigan (Reincarnation Eye) every decade for the branch.

Of course, we need to experience trials for that.

"Don't tell me your brother failed the trials and decided to steal Hyuga Clan's Byakugan instead?" After learning that last piece of information, Yunlong asked Otustsuki Hayuri this question.

Otsutsuki Hayuri was frightened, "H-How did you know?"

'Because that was the plot of Naruto the Last Movie.' Yunlong answered in his head. In the original story, the Otsutsuki Toneri stole Hyuga Hanabi's Byakugan and awakened them into Tenseigan.

Bizarrely, Yunlong bet the present Hyuga Hanabi couldn't use Tenseigan, which means the awakening is 'deeply' related to the Great Tenseigan and Hamura's Genes.

"Don't give me that look." Yunlong chuckled in amusement.

"Your Brother is just like Madara, a Villain before he got reformed into a good side."

'Hmph, to hell with your good side! You're a villain, your sister is a villain, your mother is a villain, your whole family is the villain!' Uchiha Madara cursed in his head.

"Hmm, not a bad place." Bibi Dong commented as she observed the surroundings. "Definitely more aesthetic than our moon base."

Gu Yuena scooped around and added, "We still have many bases in outer space. What are you comparing to?"

Bibi Dong giggled, "I don't know, really. The scenery and smells feel just right to me."

"Maybe it has something to do with this world's natural energy." Dong Chan said with a calm look.

"That Hayuri girl says the Great Tenseigan (Energy Vessel) provides them with such energy, so it wouldn't be weird if the Moon changed and gained special traits."

"This place is great for cultivating Spirit Masters. The only problem is the lack of resources, such as spirit energy, Spirit Rings, and other things."

"As expected of you, Dong Chan." Gu Yuena gave Dong Chan a thumbs-up.

"You're more empress than Bibi Dong."

"That's so funny, Gu Yuena..." Bibi Dong smiled kindly at the Silver Dragon Goddess. Yet that smile disappeared in a split second. "And you have exactly five seconds to take those words back."

"Make me." Gu Yuena smugly gazed at Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong rubbed her cheek, "Well..."

"If you want to force me so much."

"I will revoke your access to Bright Spirit Empire's Dining Hall."

Thud!

Gu Yuena stared at the Love Goddess in horror, 'How could you be so cruel!'

Yes, there is one thing that Bibi Dong can threaten Gu Yuena with. And that is food.

The freeloading Silver Dragon Goddess has everything in her life except good food. So, when she tasted human food for the first time after years, she immediately became a FOODIE.

"Grr... Fine, I'm sorry." Gu Yuena swallowed her pride.

"I'm sorry, what?" Bibi Dong's eyes twinkled in wickedness.

"D-Don't overstep the boundary, Bibi Dong..."

"Say what again?"

"Uugh, I'm sorry, empress."

"Good girl."

Dong Chan watched this conversation and shook her head at them. She glanced at Otsutsuki Hayuri and thought the white-haired girl could be a candidate for God's Inheritor.

'Such a pure soul.'

After walking for a few minutes, they finally arrived at the transit point, and a hovering stone slab carried them to the majestic castle made of black stones.

Otsutsuki Hayuri giddily led them to the castle and controlled the puppet maids to light up the hall. They are 'immediately' greeted by a majestic hall with a red-gold carpet, golden chandeliers, and ancient pillars. Unfortunately, Yunlong and others weren't so impressed.

They are over materialistic things at this point.

They went to the King's Hall, where Queen Sara resides, and suddenly felt concentrated Life Energy. Although it was inferior to the Hidden Veins of Life, Yunlong still found it impressive.

A lone figure slept on a king-sized bed. Those sick red hair dropped on the white sheet, which framed the woman's aged vessel.

"Oka-sama, Hayuri is back~!" Otsutsuki Hayuri ran to the woman.

Yunlong looked at the aged Queen Sara and couldn't help but say, "Even you, the Queen of Roran, are eroded by time..."

"It seems Ryumyaku doesn't give you eternal youth privilege."

Queen Sara slowly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of violet eyes filled with wisdom. She looked at Otsutsuki Hayuri and smiled before patting her daughter's head.

She looked over the guests and focused on Yunlong. Her eyes widened slightly before she laughed weakly.

"Is this a dream?" She said with an enthusiastic tone.

"To think I would see you at the near end of my life."

"It's been a long time..."

"Batman."

"..." Yunlong.
