After climbing dozens of meters of steps, Tian Qi finally reached the top, where he saw a dilapidated ancestral hall. Upon entering the hall, Tian Qi carefully examined his surroundings. Unfortunately, many things had decayed due to their age, and the hall was covered in white ash and cobwebs.
When Tian Qi turned his gaze to the front, he was immediately stunned. There was a statue in front of the ancestral hall. This statue was not a god or Buddha worshipped by ordinary people, but a man wearing armor with his hands forming a mudra. At the feet of this man was a long sword that gleamed coldly. Although so many years had passed, the sword was not affected at all. It was still chilling and there was not a speck of dust on its blade.
"This must be a divine weapon!" Tian Qi's eyes lit up, and he was about to rush forward.
However, just as Tian Qi stepped forward, he was stunned once again. The ground where the divine weapon was planted was engraved with a pattern of a giant eye. This eye was not an ordinary eye, neither the Byakugan nor the Sharingan, but the legendary Rinnegan. Moreover, it was not an ordinary Rinnegan, but the same nine-tomoe Rinnegan as Tian Qi.
Although the eye was depicted, it was incredibly realistic. Tian Qi could feel an immense amount of pupil power emanating from it. Seeing this, Tian Qi was very puzzled. Whose eye was this? It didn't look like it was made by Kaguya Otsutsuki. Could it be the former homeland of the Sage of Six Paths?
Although the eyes are not real, they were created using a special technique. As for the immense power of the pupils, it was probably locked within them using a special sealing technique, likely to prevent anyone from taking away this divine weapon.
Based on what he could see, Tianqi made a simple guess, but whether it was correct or not, no one knew.
"If this really is the old man Liudao's former homeland, then this divine weapon must have quite a history!" Tian Qi's lips curled up slightly, and then he grabbed the hilt of the long sword.
Just as Tian Qi grasped the long sword, a strange chill suddenly spread through his body from his hand, causing him to shudder. He then experienced a strange, otherworldly feeling. However, his pupils contracted slightly as images began to flash through his mind.
The blood-red painting stained Tian Qi's eyes, revealing boundless carnage. Countless warriors, fearless of death, wielded longswords to slay the enemy, their battle cries shaking the entire world.
The scene shifts, revealing a purple Susanoo hundreds of meters tall. A middle-aged man with long black hair is inside, dressed in a white robe and holding a gleaming long sword. His arrogant and disdainful aura is unmistakable. In his eyes are a pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan with a pentagram pattern. His gaze is fixed on another man opposite him. That man has short black hair and stands with his hands clasped together on the head of a wooden Buddha statue. Six black Truth-Seeking Balls float behind him. The already enormous Susanoo is almost insignificant compared to the Buddha statue; clearly, the two are not on the same level at all.
However, at that moment, the long-haired middle-aged man's left eye suddenly changed. The original pentagram pattern was instantly covered by this circle of lines. The Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in his left eye disappeared and was replaced by the Rinnegan with nine tomoe. With the blessing of the Rinnegan, the long-haired middle-aged man's Susanoo only grew to the same height as the wooden Buddha. The two stared at each other intently, each controlling their own giant to charge towards the other.
The scene ended there. When Tian Qi came to his senses, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Although it was all an illusion, the aura of the two people still gave him an incredibly shocking feeling. Witnessing two Six Paths level experts clash was a feeling that no one could understand. Even with his strength at his peak, without using the power of the Rinnegan's time manipulation, he was not entirely confident that he could defeat those two people.
"His right eye is the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, and his left eye is the Rinnegan with nine tomoe. This man must be him!" Tian Qi breathed a sigh of relief. In the history of the Uchiha clan, apart from Sasuke Uchiha who was not yet born, there was only one other person who could evolve his eyes to that state. That's right, it was the eldest son of the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, Indra Otsutsuki!
"What a powerful Otsutsuki Indra! His Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is insanely strong, not inferior to me even with my cheat-like abilities!" Tian Qi clenched his fists, unable to contain his excitement. He thought about how strong the immense power of his eyes was before. And this was only left behind by someone who had been dead for a thousand years. If Indra himself were present, it would be even stronger.
Tian Qi was also excited by the prospect of having an opponent who could fight him. Ever since he awakened the Rinnegan and became invincible in the ninja world, he had lost his motivation. Now that he suddenly had an opponent who could match him, how could he not be excited?
"That man standing opposite Indra is probably Ashura! He can unleash a Thousand-Armed Buddha that's nearly a thousand meters long. He's far superior to Hashirama Senju!" Tianqi thought of Hashirama Senju, who relied on the talents of the entire ninja world to create a Thousand-Armed Buddha, and his face immediately showed disdain.
Despite his excitement, Tianqi couldn't help but feel a pang of regret, knowing that these two ancestors of the Uchiha and Senju clans lived a thousand years ago and were no longer alive.
"What a pity! If I could have lived in the same era as them, I could have gone head-to-head with such a Six Paths level expert. What a pity, what a pity!" As Tian Qi lamented inwardly, he unconsciously exerted a little force in his hand, and the long sword was pulled out slightly by Tian Qi.
Just as the long sword was pulled out a little, the Rinnegan pattern carved on the ground suddenly expanded and enveloped Tian Qi. Then, the pattern emitted an extremely dazzling white light, illuminating the entire ancestral hall instantly. Tian Qi released his grip on the long sword and used it to shield his eyes.
Just as the white light burst forth, Tian Qi frowned and his expression immediately turned grim. He felt a force constantly pulling at him.
"This is the power of space and time. Could this be the spacetime tunnel the system mentioned?" Feeling this power that transcends time and space, Tian Qi's expression returned to normal. He never expected that the spacetime tunnel the system mentioned would be here. It was truly an unexpected stroke of luck.
The next moment, the white light dissipated and the nine-tomoe Rinnegan pattern on the ground rapidly contracted, instantly returning to its original state. The long sword stuck in the pattern trembled slightly before returning to stillness, and the entire ancestral hall became quiet again, exactly the same as before, completely devoid of any human presence, as if Tian Qi had never been there.
Tianqi himself completely disappeared from the shrine, and his figure was never seen again in the entire ninja world.
