Journey To The True Martial World - Chapter 65

Seiichi supplied a constant flow of energy to the entry to his child. Hinata on the other varied the lifeless Yuri away, when she stepped out of the myriad realm, Hinata activated and deployed the Rinne Rebirth technique to resurrect Yuri.

“Hhuuuuh!”

Yuri suċkėd in the air around her and looked around with wide shocked eyes. “What happened?” She asked and pressed her hands against her now flat stomach. “W-what happened to my baby?” She became frantic.

Hinata grabbed both of Yuri’s shoulders “relax, Seiichi is providing for it, I’m the end of the week you’ll be holding your child in your arms” she told Yuri with a gentle smile.

‘Sad girl, she doesn’t even have an ounce of chakra left after carrying that child. I need to take her away, for Seiichi… she will only be a reminder.’ Hinata’s thoughts were clear, she knew what she has to do. The tomes in her Zettaigan swirled and formed a mangekyo sharingan pattern.

“You’re a sweet girl, and unfortunately, you were fated for a bad end. Fortunately, my family and I don’t give a damn about what fate has in store for us.

So, I’ll give you a new start…”

Hinata planted orders in Yuri’s mind, and implanted false memories to give her a new identity.

The next moment, Hinata and Yuri folded in on themselves and warped away. Back in the Myriad realm, Seiichi continued supplying his child with energy. Deep in his emotions Seiichi didn’t realize the change in his child and within himself.

“Akira…” Ino spoke with some surprise. However. Akira didn’t answer. Turning her head to the left, Ino was startled by the sight of Akira. Looking at Karin and Naruto, Ino was met with similar appearances.

Blood fell from their nose, ears, and eyes. Before anyone had realized, the three sage eyes wielders had noticed the slight universal laws converge around Seiichi’s child, and Seiichi’s energy depleted at a faster rate. They had attempted to comprehend them for Seiichi’s sake, and fell into something chaotic and beyond anything their body could handle, receiving a backlash from their failed attempts.

=============================================

[Threat Detected. World laws attempting to ȧssassinate Seiichi]

[Ding… Ending connection with the Cambion. The Cambion has been corrupted]

‘No! Reestablish connection, now!’ Seiichi order Skynet once he felt the tether between him and his child break.

[Seiichi, according to your wish, I am her to aid in your rise to power. According to your wish, the protective sigils, protect you against all ill will from the universes you are intruding in.

Your child is being manipulated by the world to drain your energy and kill you. It would rather have it than you, alive in this universe. As a result, in order to keep you alive, your wish functions kicked in to do their jobs. No matter what you say, Skynet cannot follow Seiichi’s order until Seiichi is safe]

‘You son of a bitch! Help me now!’ Seiichi exploded with energy and destroyed the house. Blowing his people away, indirectly saving Naruto, Karin, and Akira by breaking their trance. However, not a drop of the energy supported the Cambion. The Cambion was dying.

‘Aaaaahhhhh!’ Seiichi shouted in anger at the system, Escanor, the world, and as much as he denied it…himself. It was his wishes keeping him from saving his child.

The myriad real trembled and a ripple of the energy from Seiichi originated from the spot he stood just before entering the myriad realm.

The myriad realm began to crack, splitting away from Seiichi. His body began to leak blood from his pores and his veins bulged due to the massive rush of energy.

Things slowly became worse as Seiichi wanted to force an override in the systems control. To do this he pulled his demonic chakra, natural energy, and chakra altogether into one energy pool.

[Mission Error. System conflict. Confirmed threat to Seiichi’s life….Maintain active defense protocols]

[Maintaining active defense protocols…]

Although, the three energy were different variations of one source energy. The new power it was creating was phenomenal.

Seiichi’s body began to slowly fall apart due to the presence of the three energies banging at each other and wreaking havoc inside of him.

“Uuuuuuhhhhh!” Seiichi grunted as he clench his jaw and struggled to keep his body together. In his hands , his child had withered and perished without a source of energy to feed on. This gave Seiichi his final nudge over the top. Seiichi let everything inside of him go and he oddly feel into a harmonic state of being.

The moment he gave up, was the moment that Skynet stepped in. As the three energy meddled together, it destroyed the walls in his dantian, meridians, nadis, and his entire body.

Seiichi had been reduced to cloud of blood, flesh and energy. Everyone was kicked out of the Myriad realm, and now stood in a black void. Above them was a massive cube and a painting, a painting of a place everyone had recognized.

‘Skynet, will it ever get easier?’ Seiichi was now in an emotionally suspended state.

[I do not understand your question, Seiichi.]

[Your death is not in my source code, if I can help it, Seiichi will always…survive]

‘Did you just display, emotions?

[I was not programmed with emotions; therefore, I cannot display them]

‘Hmm, give me my body back.’

[Activating body… Standby for Sage Eyes comprehension]

In the tyrannical energy cloud that was now Seiichi. The primordial chaotic eyes of the Supreme appeared. With the Sage eyes’ abilities, they comprehend the essences of the energy that Seiichi had created. The power was unstable and volatile.

Without a body to limit its abilities, it sent everything it comprehend into Seiichi’s consciousness. A plethora of information, it was.

[Comprehension received. Activating body reconstruction]

Skynet then guided every last cell and particle of energy to its rightful place. Focusing on the new energy, Seiichi applied his recently acquired knowledge to completely merge the energies, and although the energy felt tyrannical. It’s was now stable and without risk to Seiichi’s wellbeing. Seiichi’s energy now had a all grey appearance with swirls of purple and black in it.

When Seiichi’s body was finally ȧssembled, he used his new energy to advance from dantian formation, into core tempering, straight to the bronze core stage. Seiichi strength doubled every time he advanced.

———————————————————————————————

When Seiichi’s body ȧssembled, everyone was pulled back into the Myriad realm.

Around Seiichi, his family cleaned the mess around the myriad realm in silence, while Ino sat behind him and waited for him to come to .

“D-Did all of you see that?” Fu asked, breaking the silence. ” Not just how we were kicked out of the myriad realm. But the place we were at and that cube thing that appeared next to the painting that looked like the Myriad Realm. l’m…”

“That’s enough Fu. If Onii-san is kept it from us he has his reasons. But even if he just didn’t want to tell us, that’s his right, this is his home after all.” Naruto intervened before Fu said to much.

“Will he be okay?” Orochimaru asked

“Of course, he will! from the moment I met him, he only acted when he knew he could win. Although, his child made him very emotional, I have faith that he will come back to us” Akira answered him.

—————————————————————————————————

Activating his fortune telling eyes, Seiichi reviewed the future once more. Things had become clear, yet, the black and mysterious parts of the visions were now specific things, moments, and people. Activating his law comprehension abilities, Seiichi analyzed the vision.

Moments passed by and it was like the fortune telling eyes were no different than a prediction algorithm. Is factored in any and everything. That was Seiichi’s first mistake ‘ It’s a combination of breaths, steps, and people. the birds, the insect, and building placements. The money in peoples’ pockets, and the meals they eat. Some of those things seem useless, but it’s information worth millions with my eyes’

Instead of plugging in people, power, and events. Seiichi opened the flood gates in his mind, and things rapidly started to change. In an instant, a trail of golden white particles appeared in front of Seiichi. Looking at the trail, he could read the course of events that happened, is happening and had yet to happen. But there were still blank spots. Seiichi had just created a way to organize events and see them chronologically

thud!

Seiichi received a new comprehension. ‘So, it’s like the concept of lynch pins. Find the lynch pins and the hidden sequence of events become clearer’ Seiichi swiped back and forth examining the timeline that could be read. ‘Here..’

Seiichi had stopped on at the first moment. The scene was surrounded by blue particles, classifying it at as a supporting event. In the moment of time Seiichi was studying, he had decided to keep Xiao Xuefeng for himself and refused to give her back to the Xiao clan. Xuefeng only had one talent, blacksmithing.

‘It something about that moment and this point in time that makes it an event that creates a lynch pin. Come on, remember everything Seiichi.’

‘ I know she’s crucial to the Xiao’s plan for rebellion, if she is that important, then she must give them an edge over Momoshiki.’

Seiichi reverted to Xuefeng’s memories ‘she is an exceptional talent, in blacksmithing. materials mostly…Why? she made the toughest materials docile. How? she could use her chakra to… holy fuċk… she has a type of transmutation Kekkai Genkai.’ Seiichi cursed himself. He was so worried about learning blacksmithing, making money, and being a dɨċk, by fuċkɨnġ with the Xiao clan. He never really examined Xuefeng’s mind in depth.

Boom!

A ripple of energy erupted from the sleeping Seiichi as he opened his. signaling his cultivation advancement. Feeling this energy, everyone rushed to Seiichi’s side. But when they looked at him, it was like he was a different person. Not just the dreadful energy he emitted, but the look in his eyes as well. Seiichi was hurt, and his eyes were now void of anything except determination. Seiichi now had a one-track mind.

He originally started his journey to seek revenge for his loved ones. But it would mean nothing if he forsaken the newly gained loved ones on his journey to the top. Loss was never a good feeling and Seiichi had never been good at handling it. The only way to cope was to make it to the next verse with everyone he had chosen.

It was like Seiichi used this task as a wall to hide his pain. All he could do now, is safe the people in front of him.

Without paying any attention to the people around him, Seiichi left the Myriad realm, and Appeared in the tailor shop, located in the slums, to see Xiao Xuefeng. When Seiichi entered her room. She was about to speak but was interrupted as Seiichi dived into the depths of soul and extracted all of her memoires regarding her Kekkei Genkai. Finished with the extraction of memories, Seiichi ended Xuefeng’s life and absorbed her.

“What was hers, is now mine…”

===========================================

Later that day, Seiichi and his family attended the auction, signaling the last day of Green Horn week. Seiichi had made sure to apologize to Pakura, for sending her into the wall of a building. Waiting the front door of the auction house. Hinata had appeared right before the start of the auction.

During the event, Seiichi bought every scrap of metal and crafting material from trash to premium goods, that the Auction houses had offered. He made sure to buy everything using the company name, on the invitations he had sent out for the banquet he was hosting later that night.

“Why buy all of these materials?” Orochimaru asked Seiichi in a quiet voice

“An Experiment.” he simply replied as he continued to watch the rest of the auction. When it was over, Seiichi turned to everyone and said “Only the key members. Foot soldiers mean nothing right now”

The family nodded in unison and went to enslave the people of the Marici Auction House, and the Mavericks Trading Company.

The Banquet hosted by Seiichi came in no time. It was a wonderful turn out. Although, due to recent events, Seiichi just wasn’t in the mood to toy, scheme , or put on theatrics. The night consisted of honoring the younger generation and introducing the Jigoku family.

Because of Hinata, Ino, and Yakumo’s new status. The Jigoku, and Seiichi, became untouchable. when the night was over. Seiichi used his status to take the lives of the Selkie, Xiao, and Ashikaga Clan heads.

Kiyoshi and the resurrected Xuefeng were promoted as their new clan heads and used as puppets by Seiichi. Momoshiki, took the opportunity to put his favorite Selkie consort in charge of the Selkie clan. It was one way to know that the Selkie were not plotting against him.

=================================

Hinata, Ino, and Yakumo also left that night to attend the Cosmic Academy. It wasn’t a very emotional moment as the ladies could enter the Myriad Realm or return to Naonus whenever the felt like it.

“Learn a lot. Make allies, and cultivate the Demonic Yin harvesting Technique. Higher the cultivation, the more nourishing their primordial yin will be.”

“So, you won’t miss us?” Ino asked.

“Of course, I will” Seiichi gave a weak smile, but his eyes didn’t match his facial expressions. “But, being that I can see you anytime I want, your immediate future is my only concern.

Hinata that means you need to completely absorb the ten tails. Being it’s jinchuriki isn’t enough, you need to take all of its power as your own. ”

Yakumo frowned “That’s not fair. She has it too easy. Why did you give her the ten tails?”

“Don’t worry about it, just focus on your own cultivation and I’ll make up the difference in the end. I promise” She was cold and distant, but the ladies knew Seiichi was working towards their survival in the only way he knew how after the series of unfortunate events that had taken place

==========================================

Three months had passed after Seiichi sent his wives to the Cosmic Academy. Seiichi now had the biggest selling tailor shop in the city. Kiyoshi, with a little of Seiichi’s shared knowledge brought the Ashikaga clan’s pill shop shops to new heights and Xuefeng did the same with the Xiao clan’s blacksmithing shops. They were quickly raising and were showing no signs of stopping.

The months that followed, Seiichi did nothing but blacksmithing and alchemy while the big three clans were working together to strip all of Naonus of its resources. Working under the leadership of Momoshiki, the three clans spread across Naonus like a raging fire, breaking treats and pillaging. Clans fell and Cities soon after. The survivors were forced into slavery and the auction houses were the next organizations to fall. Though with their leaders under Seiichi’s control, the Marici Clan was none the wiser.

Seiichi allowed all of this to happen, to give Momoshiki a false sense of security to stabilize his growing paranoia. Due to Momoshiki’s impulsive behavior, his movements were hard to calculate, forcing Seiichi to stay with the plan of suggestion instead of directive. Taking his share from the plethora of treasure pillaged during Seiichi’s orchestrated planetary subjugation. Seiichi divided those treasures amongst his people and their servants to support their cultivation. Crafting material and Alchemy ingredients were all kept by Seiichi. By the end of the Seiichi’s first year on Naonus. The planet was under his control. Things were strangely steady.

The only times Seiichi would bless everyone with his presence, was when he personally moved his piece on the chessboard. Or when he would gaze at the stars and watch Yuri on earth. In this moment, Seiichi was doing just that, watching Yuri. She lived her life happily in her own villa, cultivating and training in martial arts. Her strange ways had captivated the people so much she had formed her own sect.

Saito had attempted to squash the faction, but when Yuri had spoken words that Hinata had implanted in her. Saito could do nothing but watch as her sect grew. Yuri then advised Saito to conquer the Avatar continent and unite the world under one banner. Yuri would be the one to lead the people into an era where they could defend themselves against celestial threats.

Seeing more than enough, Seiichi turned away and decided this would be the last time he checked on Yuri, vowing to never look to her again. The mere sight of her made his heart twist, she was constant reminder of things he would rather forget. Leaping from the roof, Seiichi strolled in the direction of the Xiao clan.

During Seiichi’s time blacksmithing, he had also experimented with Kekkei Genkai that he had stole from Xiao Xuefeng. Coupled with the sage eyes’ abilities, it was a simple matter unraveling the secrets of the transmutation Kekkei Genkai. But knowledge and experience were two separate things. In the memories of Xuefeng, Seiichi had discovered a moment when her father had taken her to a vault within the clan treasure that held the knowledge and experiences of the first Xiao Patriarch, who had the same Kekkei Genkai as Xuefeng.

=============================================

“My Lord, you honor…”

“enough with the pleasantries Xuefeng, take me to your families treasury” Seiichi interrupted her, He had no patience for trivial etiquette.

Arriving at the treasury , the two of them stood in front of a blank wall. “My father never told me how to open it. And the elder never possessed such knowledge, it was always a secret known only to the clan patriarch. Passed on of course, and considering how I obtained the title, there was no passing of legacies to me” Xuefeng explained

“It fine, I already have the key” Seiichi replied, in the time it took Xuefeng to explain, Seiichi had already cracked the seal protecting the Xiao legacy. Seiichi pressed a random spot on the wall and dragged hi fingers clockwise, drawing a circle.

The seconds that followed were accompanied by the sound stone crumbling and shifting. Dust rose and the wall opened revealing a thick manual. Taken it from its resting place, Seiichi vanished.

========================================

The following days, Seiichi read over the manual and practiced the techniques left behind. Towards the end. Seiichi found himself in a stupor. The last page of the manual was of a drawing. A white and blue trident forged for the Patriarch of the Sejikin clan, Uzu Sejikin. The first Xiao patriarch praised the trident as his greatest and only unfinished work.

“Chaotic Trident of the Arch Sage…” Seiichi eyes activated when he read the name of the trident and he was pulled into his inner consciousness surrounded by the particle timeline. A lynch pin was finally identified. Seiichi had to complete the chaotic Trident of the Arch Sage if he wished to increase odds of his family survival.

The next moment, pink particles had formed around two separate events, symbolizing correlating events leading to the formation of the same lynch pin. The first being Hinata stepping into core tempering stage after completely absorbing the ten tails. The second event was of Momoshiki weeding out any Otsutsuki clansmen, that were against his plans for the future.
