Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler

Chapter 457: Worry and Pure Land

--- Chapter 454 ---

Yunlong directed Seth and sixty-eight other members of Celestial Butcher in their cultivation. Strictly speaking, they are like newborns in the human world, but even before becoming Spirit Beast, they had developed quite an intelligence.

For example, one of the Celestial Butcher's members is a tortoise who is over 250 years old. He might not have evolved into a Demonic Beast, but he still developed some spirituality and a human-like mind. 

But this also makes Yunlong curious about something. 

Ryuchi Cave.

Mount Myoboku.

Shikkotsu Forest. 

The three sage regions hold a nifty knowledge about the Sage Technique, each with its advantages and downsides. Nevertheless, Yunlong is more interested in seeing what transpires if the three Sage Beasts become Spirit Beasts and the transformed humans. 

Will they become a Divine Beast?

They have the qualifications, wisdom, and experience. 

'Well, I will have my chances soon.' Yunlong gazed down at the red-haired Seth and noticed him meditating under the Red Cloud Heaven Art. 

He crossed his arms and gradually glanced at Kaguya and Gu Yuena on the side. They were eating stir-fried noodles he made earlier. 

"Delicious~!" Gu Yuena said while rubbing her cheeks.

'Maybe I should learn how to cook, too.' Kaguya nodded solemnly and felt her position as a wife was weak before Yunlong's cooking skills. 

Unfortunately for Kaguya, she has no talent in that department. 

The Moon Goddess is nearly omnipotent in terms of mystical matter but is a total 'noob' when it comes to culinary skills. She could only boil water and make tea.

Of course, this wasn't important to Yunlong.

As long as his wives are happy, Yunlong is content with his life. 

Gu Yuena finished her portion and asked, "By the way. I've cultivated the Hidden Dragon Cultivation Art." 

"As we expected, Na'er really modified the technique and made it a billion times better than the version I know. However..." 

"I'm afraid we would have a hard time producing offspring." 

"What do you mean?" Yunlong was confused.

Kaguya blinked and seemingly knew what Gu Yuena meant. She opened her messy mouth and explained, "The Hidden Dragon Cultivation Art is somewhat similar to Otsutsuki Clan's Kama." 

"It is a technique that accumulates power into one genetic code and blood." 

"The issue is... As your blood and genetic codes strengthen and embody power, your chance of getting children will be low like the rest of the Otsutsuki Clan."

"In fact, it was a fluke for me to give birth to Hagoromo and Hamura." 

"Or maybe your Human's genes are well-matched with mine." She added casually. 

Gu Yuena nodded and continued, "The higher stage you reached in the Hidden Dragon Cultivation Art. The better your bloodline becomes." 

"Your bloodline is already stronger than the Dragon God and me." 

"So..." 

"The chance has become even lower now." She sulked while looking down. 

Yunlong suddenly laughed, "Hahaha~!"

"What are you worrying about, Yuena?" 

"Hmph, I'm serious here, Yunlong!" Gu Yuena was angry. She pouted at Yunlong and crossed her arms, making her mountain jiggle.

Yunlong only found her adorable, though.

He shook his head helplessly and pointed at himself, "It seems you're forgetting what kind of God I am." 

"You might be a Godking, Yunlong. But we need a miracle-!" Gu Yuena choked on her words before she could finish.

Her eyes widened in realization.

That's right!

Creating miracles is Yunlong's thing!

Gu Yuena blushed hard. She was so embarrassed. 

Kaguya finished her food and wiped her mouth with a napkin. "Just what is the limit of your Godhood, Yunlong?" 

Yunlong shrugged, "I honestly didn't know." 

"The limit of miracles cannot be measured." 

"It can be small or big. One thing is for sure. I'm not in control of it." 

Yes, Yunlong's Divinity of Miracles is a bit random. 

It is powerful, for sure. 

If not, Yunlong wouldn't be able to bless an entire galaxy. 

Yunlong snapped his finger and checked the progress of the people on the Moon. They have been staying there for hours now. 

A screen appeared, showing the scene of Bibi Dong, Dong Chan, and Ah Yin torturing poor Sara and her children. The goddesses sure are strict when it comes to teaching. 

Not far away, Madara is playing around with his Artificial Soul.

As expected from the Ghost of Uchiha, he showed progress like no one had seen before. He's close to reaching Spirit Rank 100 and becoming a God. 

What kind of God, though? 

Yunlong hoped Madara would be a good right hand for him. After all, he has put so much hope on this man. 

'He's a bit tsundere, but overall okay.' Yunlong thought to himself. 

"Kaguya, I think it's time to visit your sons." He said to the Moon Goddess.

'Finally! I missed Hagoromo and Hamura for years.' Kaguya's blue eyes widened in shock before she nodded her head enthusiastically. 

Kaguya blinked a few times, gazing at the distance.

"They should be at the Pure Land right now, observing the Shinobi World from the shadows." 

"But their souls wouldn't last long before the Otsutsuki Clan invaded the Shinobi World." 

"Yunlong, let's go." 

"Can I go along?" Gu Yuena asked them all of a sudden.

She was interested in this place called Pure Land. 

Kaguya hesitated before saying, "You can go..." 

"But don't mess up my reunion." 

"I know, I know... What kind of person do you think I am?" Gu Yuena grumbled at Kaguya. 

'You're nosy.' Kaguya flatly answered in her mind. 

Yunlong walked to them wryly. He instructed Seth and others to continue their practice and created barriers around himself, Kaguya, and Gu Yuena.

Pure Land is the Realm of Afterlife. 

They couldn't visit the place with their physical body. 

Yunlong held Kaguya and Gu Yuena's hands, slowly pulling their souls and guiding them out. Kaguya's soul performed some hand signs and created a dark portal. 

Gu Yuena's soul hugged Yunlong's arm because the sensation of getting stripped from her body was weird. 

After that, they left the world of living. 

...

...

Pure Land. 

Walking in a misty world, Yunlong, Kaguya, and Gu Yuena were lost.

"Where are we?" Gu Yuena frowned. She looked down at her body and felt everything like the real world. 

How bizarre.

Kaguya looked up and answered, "Pure Land is the Realm of Afterlife. It exists before I descend to the Shinobi World and is always shrouded with mystery." 

"The rumor said that the Death God (Shinigami) governs this place." 

"However, that was from the truth..." 

"In the Otsutsuki Clan's library record, there is a saying that this place was 'actually' created due to an unfinished karma between the living and the dead." 

"What about the God of Death then? Is it real?" Gu Yuena was curious. 

Kaguya shook her head and continued, "The God of Death is just the manifestation of one's belief." 

"It accumulates and slowly becomes an avatar, or should I say, the personification of death." 

"So, it is weaker than our kind of God, huh?" Gu Yuena nodded in understanding. 

Kaguya smiled, "No, not really." 

"I'm not sure if the Shinigami possesses Divinity or not." 

Yunlong sensed something, "There are two people ahead." 

Kaguya and Gu Yuena gazed in the distance, seeing a white-haired man and a black-haired woman.

They are wearing matching white-red Kimono and Yukata, making their relationship clear.

"Oh, it seems we have a visitor, Hana." Said the white-haired man.

"Yes, dear." The black-haired woman replied softly. 

Yunlong walked toward them and said, "I didn't expect to meet you here." 

"You know me?" The white-haired man tilted his head.

Yunlong chuckled joyfully, "Well, I'd be damned if I couldn't recognize the legendary White Fang." 

"Hatake Sakumo." 

Yes, the white-haired man is none other than Hatake Sakumo. 

Or else known as the Konoha's White Fang. 

And the Father of Hatake Kakashi!
