“Yes, Tenxiu-gege!” Uchiha Chiri nodded solemnly, stating gravely, “The Queen of LouLan said, ‘O Emperor from the future beyond the seas, the Spirit of the LouLan Dragon Vein awaits your arrival!’”
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Tenxiu frowned slightly and repeated thoughtfully, “Emperor from the future beyond the seas, Spirit of the LouLan Dragon Vein?” His mind raced, trying to decipher more hidden meanings from these two pieces of information.
Without a doubt.
“The Emperor from the future beyond the seas” undoubtedly referred to him. After all, though he was currently only a King of Great Zhou, his ambition stretched far beyond that. According to his original plan, he would only consider becoming an Emperor after conquering or subjugating at least seven countries. In the Ninja World, there were no titles like “Emperor” or “Sovereign,” so the “future Emperor” mentioned here was clearly a description of the esteemed title he might acquire in the future.
As for the Spirit of the LouLan Dragon Vein, this was an existence shrouded in mystery.
According to the original plot, the Dragon Vein of LouLan was a special Chakra hidden within the Great Desert of the Land of Wind. This power was extremely potent, even capable of traversing space-time, allowing one to return to the past or enter a parallel world.
However, the appearance of the word “Spirit” raised questions. This seemed to imply that the Dragon Vein was not merely a powerful force, but an intelligent life form.
According to the original worldview, LouLan should not have any intelligent life forms. So, how did this so-called Spirit of the Dragon Vein come into existence?
Uchiha Tenxiu did not blindly believe the settings in the original plot; he knew well the principle that it is better to have no books than to believe them completely.
While the original plot could serve as a reference, it could not be regarded as absolute truth.
“But if it truly is an intelligent being, how did it evade the heavenly dimension fragment’s shielding?” Uchiha Tenxiu mused inwardly.
Given the power of the heavenly dimension fragment, only the power of the supreme space-time divine artifact, the heavenly dimension fragment itself, could resist its shielding. So, what ability did this Spirit of the Dragon Vein possess to evade the heavenly dimension fragment’s shielding?
This series of questions filled Uchiha Tenxiu with curiosity and some wariness regarding the Spirit of the LouLan Dragon Vein.
“Therefore, after eliminating all impossible scenarios, could it be that I inadvertently caused some influence, thereby giving myself some hints or prompts?” Uchiha Tenxiu couldn’t help but begin to speculate.
After all.
The Dragon Vein of LouLan was a very miraculous existence in the Ninja World; it inherently possessed the ability to interfere with space-time.
Moreover, in the original plot, it was explicitly mentioned that one could traverse space-time through LouLan’s Dragon Vein.
One could even reach a parallel world.
As for whether it was a return to the past, Uchiha Tenxiu thought it unlikely.
Because this involved a space-time paradox; with LouLan’s space-time capabilities, if it were a return to the past, then the original protagonist, Uzumaki Naruto, as the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki, would certainly go berserk if there were two Nine-Tailed in the same world, because for a Tailed Beast, within the Jinchuriki’s sealing space, there is no obstruction to a Tailed Beast’s homologous power, and the Tailed Beast would instantly know.
At that time, the Nine-Tailed had not yet reconciled with Naruto, and given the Nine-Tailed’s hatred for humans, if it knew its future, it would still be confined within a Ninja’s body, forever unable to escape the Jinchuriki’s prison, it would definitely go completely berserk.
Similar to Sora of the Fire Temple, who possessed four tails of Nine-Tailed Chakra within him, his transformation could be sensed by the Nine-Tailed, which could freely give him power to break the seal, thereby rescuing itself and allowing its main body to also break the seal.
Perhaps the power of one Nine-Tailed was not enough to break out of the seal.
But the resonance of two Nine-Tailed...
That might be different.
Conversely, if it were a parallel world, that would make sense.
Even if it was still the Nine-Tailed, there were fundamental differences between the two.
They might even be from different sources.
For example, in World A, the Nine-Tailed might be one of the separated Ten-Tails powers.
But in World B, it might simply be a demon that incites hatred.
Or in World C, it might be a collection of hateful Chakra.
And so on.
Based on this speculation, it could be ensured that the powers of the two Nine-Tailed would not resonate.
Of course, there was also an extremely small probability that he was the future Nine-Tailed, but the location was too far, and the time journey ended before resonance could occur.
After all, anything was possible.
It was just a matter of probability.
Just like, what if the Dragon Vein could indeed travel through time!
Assuming it was truly a timeline interference.
“It seems that the matter of LouLan cannot be delayed!” Uchiha Tenxiu’s expression was serious, and he had a realization.
Although his locked space-time view prevented any external person from reaching his timeline, locking out future enemies and potential enemies from other parallel universes, it never locked himself.
If this incident was from the future, then it was likely a message he sent to himself, and it must be a very important matter.
It might even be a matter of significant impact, concerning his own growth path.
Thinking of this!
Uchiha Tenxiu immediately pondered, “If I obtain the Dragon Vein in the future, what would I do?”
Given the vast amount of space-time energy generated by the Dragon Vein, he, being of the space-time type, would undoubtedly have the heavenly dimension fragment absorb it without any hesitation.
“Could it be that there was a problem with this absorption? That’s impossible! A mere Dragon Vein, no matter how powerful, couldn’t possibly affect the heavenly dimension fragment!” Uchiha Tenxiu thought to himself, then prepared to set off for LouLan with Uchiha Chiri.
After leaving a letter for Yukino at home, Uchiha Tenxiu, like an arrow shot from a bow, took Uchiha Chiri through the mysterious “designated anywhere door” in his home, quickly returning to the teleportation hall of the Great Zhou Imperial Palace.
As the door opened, the scenes inside and outside were like two completely different worlds.
Behind him was Konoha Ninja Village, the Uchiha Clan’s residence, serving as the Seventh Elder’s abode, Uchiha Tenxiu and Uchiha Yukino’s room, like a tranquil harbor.
In front of him, however, was the vast space of the overseas Zhou Kingdom, Jianye Main City, the Capital Royal Palace, the Front Hall, and the Teleportation Hall, like a magnificent ocean, operating all the state secrets.
In the entire spacious hall, ten designated teleportation doors stood in two rows, each connected to a different country, allowing for space-time transfer through this palace.
Compared to the immigration-specific teleportation doors at the external immigration bureau, the teleportation doors here were exclusively for Uchiha Tenxiu’s use, serving only Uchiha Tenxiu and important people around him; anyone else appearing without Uchiha Tenxiu’s approval would be immediately apprehended.
As Uchiha Tenxiu and Uchiha Chiri stepped into the palace, figures immediately flashed out like ghosts from the hidden corners of the palace, from all directions.
They were all girls around ten years old, each veiled in mystery, dressed as Ninja, like elves in the night, wearing simple black clothing with short blades and Ninja tool pouches at their waists, holding various Ninja tools. Each emitted a gaze as sharp as a sword, and judging from the killing intent emanating from them, they were certainly not mere showpieces who had not experienced battle.
There were about forty of them, all exceptional talents carefully selected from millions of people, each possessing at least Jonin level strength. If placed in Konoha, they would undoubtedly be geniuses among geniuses, dazzling like brilliant stars.
But here, they were merely ordinary personnel accumulated by Uchiha Tenxiu with various resources, practicing day after day, hidden in the teleportation hall, responsible for maintaining all affairs of the teleportation hall and serving as loyal guards to prevent intrusion.
“My King!” The leader, a masked girl with short silver hair, stepped forward and knelt on one knee, respectfully greeting Uchiha Tenxiu. The others also knelt on one knee, their faces full of loyalty and fanaticism towards Uchiha Tenxiu.
As elite Ninja who had been trained, their hearts held no one else but loyalty to Uchiha Tenxiu.
After all, this was the Royal Palace, and as a part of the Royal Palace, only loyal individuals could remain here.
