Chapter 38 Successfully Smuggled into the Pure Land, Beacon of the Soul, Here I Come.

"Ah, this damn sweet air."

Aburame Shiki sensed the environment of the Pure Land through the soul-parasitic insects that had smuggled him there, and sighed.

It's truly a case of some dying of drought and others dying of floods; the soul energy that has almost disappeared in the ninja world is now overflowing in the Pure Land.

The Pure Land truly lives up to its reputation as a training ground created by the Sage of Six Paths; the spiritual environment here is simply unparalleled.

The rich spiritual energy nourishes every soul in the Pure Land.

The parasitic insects reside within the souls of Root ninjas, continuously absorbing the soul energy of the Pure Land and supplying it to Shizuka Aburame.

Aburame Shiki chuckled softly, feeling quite pleased.

Aburame Shiki felt as if her soul was soaking in a hot spring, and she felt completely light and airy.

One word: awesome!

Of course, Aburame Shiki did not forget to inquire about the Pure Land, since he did not know much about it either.

Aburame Shiki's parasitic insects were attacked as soon as they arrived in the Pure Land.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 12199.99]

This situation made Shiki Aburame's heart tighten, and he almost thought that the Sage of Six Paths had discovered him.

A power permeated the Pure Land, causing the Soul-Symbolizing Worm to fall into a deep sleep as soon as it arrived.

"This is...an illusion?!"

Aburame Shiki realized that the spirit of the parasitic worm was still too weak. Even if it combined with the soul of the Root ninja, it could not resist the illusion in the Pure Land.

It doesn't matter if the Soul-Swept Insects can't wake up from the illusion; Shiki Aburame can directly control the Soul-Swept Insects to absorb the soul energy in the Pure Land.

The one who got infected was a parasitic worm, what does that have to do with Aburame Shiichi?

It has to be said that we still have to rely on the cheat code; the Primal Gu once again played a miraculous role.

The Soul-Symptom Worm was the best solution Aburame Zhiyi could think of, but without the help of the Primal Gu, his plan to steal the Pure Land would still have failed.

Aburame Shiki did not believe that the illusion was directed at him, because every soul in the Pure Land was affected by the illusion.

Such powerful illusions, covering such a vast area—the Sage of Six Paths' power is chilling.

Aburame Shiki observes the Pure Land through the perspective of the parasitic worms.

It was discovered that most of the souls in the Pure Land were trapped in illusions, with only a small number of souls wandering around, their eyes shifting between clarity and confusion.

These wandering souls must have considerable obsessions or be of relatively strong spiritual nature, allowing them to struggle occasionally.

"The Sage of Six Paths still hasn't gone all the way."

Aburame Shiki knew, of course, that the Sage of Six Paths' power was enough to put all the souls that entered the Pure Land into a deep sleep.

Aburame Shiki silently observed and learned some information about the Pure Land.

For example, his current location is on the outskirts of the Pure Land.

Although the concentration of soul energy here already satisfied Shizuka Aburame.

But for those souls trapped in a state of deep despair, it is not enough.

These dazed and confused spirits are unable to actively absorb soul energy; they can only passively receive its nourishment.

However, even in a pure land, the soul is still at risk of collapse.

Not far from Aburame Shiki, gray matter condensed on the surface of a soul's body and then fell down.

The soul became purer, but Shiki Aburame felt that the soul's structure had become fragile.

"Is this how the Sage of Six Paths trains his troops?"

The parasitic worm controlled by Shiki Aburame arrived next to the gray substance, and before even making contact, it instinctively felt a sense of repulsion.

"Is it impurities in the soul? Or something else entirely?"

Aburame Shiki doesn't understand gray matter, nor does she intend to, because there's no need.

However, Shiki Aburame had a guess about the method by which he trained his troops with the Sage of Six Paths.

The Sage of Six Paths would probably try his best to bring the souls of the dead ninjas to the Pure Land.

Then, the gray matter, or soul impurities, in these ninja souls are slowly expelled from their souls using genjutsu.

Once these gray substances are expelled from the soul, the soul body will become purer.

Of course, the risks are also very high, since it involves interfering with the soul through external forces.

For example, the soul that Shiki Aburame just saw.

The soul has become more solid, but its structure has also become more fragile.

Aburame Shiki felt that even a slight attack from him could cause the collapse of the other person's entire soul.

The Sage of Six Paths continuously used illusion techniques to repel the gray matter from the soul in the Pure Land.

In the Pure Land, a part of the soul becomes purer and stronger.

Another part will collapse into pure soul energy due to the instability of the soul structure, providing soul energy for the Pure Land.

"Therefore, the souls in the Pure Land are divided into two categories: one is those that are qualified to transform into qualified soldiers, and the other is those that cannot be transformed and are considered consumables, providing soul energy for the Pure Land."

Aburame Shiki looked at the soul before him, but showed no reaction whether the soul's form had become purer or its structure had become more fragile.

Instead, she seemed to be lost in a beautiful dream, a smile appearing on her lips.

As Aburame Shiki watched this scene, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly remembered the Infinite Tsukuyomi Plan.

—To quell the struggle and give everyone a dream.

The Sage of Six Paths is doing the same thing as the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

However, the Sage of Six Paths had a touch of kindness in his heart, so instead of harming the living, he let the dead fall into a beautiful dream.

Even if one cannot be reborn in the Pure Land after death, it is not unacceptable if one can enjoy ultimate bliss in the Pure Land.

"The Sage of Six Paths still harbors good intentions."

The Pure Land is the training ground for the Sage of Six Paths. If these souls are kept awake, they will fight and devour each other, which will be more efficient.

With the addition of the soul energy accumulated by the Sage of Six Paths over a thousand years, a group of powerful individuals will likely emerge rapidly.

Instead of the current lukewarm state of Pure Land Buddhism.

This situation is the best for someone like Shiki Aburame.

Aburame Shizuki craves the spiritual energy of the Pure Land. He would be very happy if he had a safe environment to absorb spiritual energy.

The souls that wander in the Pure Land rely on their instincts to walk towards the center of the Pure Land.

The entire Pure Land is very large, and Aburame Shiki is also controlling the Soul-Swept Insects as they head towards the center of the Pure Land.

The closer one is to the center of the Pure Land, the greater the influence of illusions, and naturally, the higher the concentration of souls.

When Aburame Shiki arrived at the Pure Land Center, it was clearly visible that the concentration of soul energy in the Pure Land Center was much higher than in other places.

"Safety first."

Aburame Shiki ultimately failed to control the Soul-Spirit Insects to enter the center of the Pure Land, because the center of the Pure Land was inhabited only by powerful beings.

These powerful individuals were all soldiers deemed qualified by the Sage of Six Paths. Techniques like the gray substance had no effect on the souls of these powerful individuals.

The souls of these powerful individuals have reached a certain level.

If Shiki Aburame were to control the parasitic worms and enter the center of the Pure Land, it might attract attention.

"How did you manage to get through all this, being so weak?"

The Sage of Six Paths won't pay too much attention to the Pure Land, but only if you don't jump around in front of him.

"The concentration here is already very high, let's leave it here."

Aburame Shiki gave up control of the parasitic worms, and the Root ninja's soul became as muddled and confused as the souls around him.

But the soul energy that the parasitic worm was supposed to absorb was not reduced at all.

Looking at the soul-snatching worm that had successfully smuggled itself into the Pure Land, Aburame Shiki felt reassured.

"O Pure Land, beacon of the soul, I have come."

Aburame Shiki used the Impure World Reincarnation technique to summon a large number of ninjas.

Then a large number of parasitic insects were released, which were assimilated into the souls of the reanimated ninjas.

Looking at these parasitic insects, Aburame Shiki was very satisfied.

"Brothers, it's up to you now."

"Goal: A beacon for the soul—a pure land, let's go!"

"Impure World Reincarnation - Release"

And so, batch after batch of parasitic insects were sent to the Pure Land by Aburame Shiki.

Their mission is to return the soul energy of the Pure Land to Aburame Shiki in the ninja world.
