Simultaneous traversal: All Abyss difficulty.

Chapter 579 Digging and digging in a big garden, planting big seeds and blooming big flowers
Tang Sanzang, leaning against a tree trunk, walked back to the crowd with weak legs.

The weakness from not eating for three days made his vision blur, and his monk's robe was soaked with cold sweat, clinging to his back.

He saw Fang Yu squatting on the boulder, holding a plate of crystal-clear, cube-shaped food, drizzled with amber sauce, the aroma wafting into his nose.

"Aren't you hungry?" Fang Yu picked up a trembling piece of braised meat with his chopsticks and deliberately waved it in front of Tang Seng.

The steamed buns were incredibly springy and gleamed like jade in the morning light.

Tang Sanzang's Adam's apple bobbed, but he turned his face away abruptly: "This humble monk is not hungry."

"Then I, Old Pig, won't be polite!" Pigsy threw his rake on the ground with a clatter and snatched the plate with his fat hand.

It slurped the whole piece of stew into its mouth with a loud slurp, its cheeks puffed out like it was stuffed with two steamed buns, and mumbled indistinctly, "Delicious! It's fucking delicious!"

Tang Sanzang watched as Zhu Bajie devoured the food, licking even the last drop of sauce from the plate. Suddenly, a thunderous rumbling sound came from his stomach, particularly jarring in the quiet forest.

Fang Yu raised an eyebrow: "Oh, the holy monk's stomach is quite honest."

Just as "I," Tang Sanzang was about to explain, a sudden dizzying sensation struck him.

He staggered and grabbed the rock for support, cold sweat streaming down his pale face.

Fang Yu sighed and suddenly disappeared in a flash.

When she reappeared, she had a plate of steaming hot braised meat in her hand, with bright green cilantro chopped on top of the sauce.

"Eat up." Fang Yu shoved the plate into Tang Sanzang's hands. "Ideas are one thing, but what kind of pilgrim would starve to death on the way?"

Tang Sanzang held the warm plate, his fingertips trembling slightly.

The jelly was crystal clear, like a piece of amber, with the fine texture inside faintly visible.

He hesitated and asked, "Is this really... noodles?"

"Wheat flour mixed with mung bean flour." Fang Yu said without changing his expression. "The soybean flour thickens the mixture, so it will look like this after steaming." He counted on his fingers, "Salt, sesame paste, which one isn't vegetarian?"

Tang Sanzang finally couldn't resist his hunger and picked up a piece to put in his mouth.

The braised meat was incredibly smooth and tender, and the savory sauce exploded on the tip of the tongue.

He stared in astonishment, his eyes wide!

This tastes even better than the vegetarian dishes bestowed by the emperor!

"Slow down, no one's going to take it from you." Fang Yu watched Tang Seng wolf down his food, a dangerous smile playing on his lips.
Liangzi was still a decent person at first, with a huge appetite from eating this stew.

Greed, anger, ignorance, hatred, love, evil, desire.

I'll let you do it all!
The lofty and unattainable Buddha?

I'll give you a really big job!

----------

In the cold underground cave, the sound of dripping water echoed on the stone walls.

Cixian leaned against the rock wall, and although he had rested for two months, he still looked weak.

The wedge-shaped lines on his right eye flickered, like a candle flickering in the wind.

"I never imagined it would come to this."

He gritted his teeth and dug his fingers deep into the cracks in the rock.

The side effects of the Otsutsuki Treasure "Plow" were far more severe than imagined. Not only did it consume most of his chakra, it also allowed Uchiha U to retain his abilities.

This completely disrupted his plans.

Suddenly, the shadows deep within the cave began to twist and contort.

"Who?!"

Cixian suddenly looked up and saw a vortex-shaped spatial rift slowly unfolding.

A man wearing an orange, one-eyed mask stepped out of the void, his Sharingan glowing crimson in the darkness.

"I heard you were looking for me?" Obito Uchiha's voice was deep and hoarse. "Jigen?"

"Heh, it seems someone has already told you." Jigen coughed up blood, but revealed a strange smile. "But it definitely didn't say that you will die at Naruto's hands ten years from now." Obito's mask twitched slightly.

"The future?" he sneered. "I have no interest in the ramblings of a dying man."

"Then let's see who dies!" Jigen suddenly raised his hand, and a force that Obito couldn't resist sent him flying!
Obito's breathing visibly faltered!
A person with such power has no need to deceive themselves!

"what do you want to say in the end?"

“Cooperation.” Jigen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. “I can help you realize your plan, the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan, but on the condition that you start capturing the Tailed Beasts now!”

The cave fell into dead silence. Obito's one eye was fixed on Jigen, as if trying to determine the truth of his words.

"Why now? According to the plan."

"Because of Uchiha U!" Jigen suddenly pounded his fist on the rock wall in agitation. "That guy was supposed to be a piece of trash! But now he could destroy everything at any moment!"

Obito frowned slightly.

He certainly knew Uchiha U, the madman who publicly slapped the Third Hokage in Konoha and launched a coup, but according to White Zetsu's report, this person had indeed recently disappeared.
"He disappeared? How could that be! Shouldn't he have seized the opportunity to take control of Konoha and become that ridiculous Hokage?"

After a long silence, Obito suddenly let out a low laugh.

"Since this person has disappeared, let's move the plan forward." He turned and walked into the Kamui dimension. "First target: Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki!"

Just as the spatial rift closed, Cixian's lips curled into a triumphant smile.

Of course, he didn't tell Obito.

When the Ten-Tails is resurrected, that will be the moment the Divine Tree is revived!

In a quiet place, twilight enveloped the dense forest.

Suddenly, a figure flashed past the Iwagakure squad like a ghost, stirring up a few falling leaves.

"Enemy attack!" the leader of Iwagakure shouted sharply, his hands quickly forming hand seals. "Earth Release: Rock Pillar Spear!" Dozens of sharp rock spears instantly rose from the ground, riddling the patch of grass with holes.

The other ninjas also joined the attack:

"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!" A thick earthen wall blocked their retreat!
"Earth Release: Rock Stealing Stick!" Countless pebbles shot out like a torrential rain!
"Earth Release: Yellow Springs Swamp!" The entire grassland transformed into a swamp that devoured life.

After the roar of the ninjutsu subsided, the forest returned to silence.

The Iwa ninja warily surveyed their surroundings, their leader sneering, "You overconfident fools."

"Not only did you disturb my meditation, but you also attacked me," a lazy voice suddenly came from above them.

Everyone looked up in alarm and saw Uchiha Yu sitting cross-legged on a treetop, not even a speck of dust on his clothes.

The leader laughed loudly: "What nonsense! You think you can do this?" Before he could finish speaking, his laughter stopped abruptly!

Looking down, he saw a hole the size of a bowl in his chest, with smoke rising from its edges.

Uchiha U blew on his smoking fingertips and whispered, "Dongdongbo."

The remaining Iwa ninja didn't even see how their comrades fell before they heard several muffled thuds—each of them had the same hollow in the location of their heart.

The last ninja to fall stared wide-eyed, hearing a final whisper from the treetops:

"Fine, if you find out I'm still in the ninja world today, it will affect my plans. So just die."

More than ten corpses fell into the pit at the same time, and after a few blood bubbles, they disappeared completely.

Uchiha Yu dusted off his hands. "I just wanted to find a place to do some push-ups. Once Obito brings out the Ten-Tails and creates the God Tree, we can just harvest the fruit. Is it that hard?"

As he spoke, a figure emerged from behind Uchiha Yu. "Are you really going to let Akatsuki capture all the Tailed Beasts?"

The one questioning Uchiha U was none other than the young Uchiha Sasuke who had just given himself away to the Iwagakure team.

"Go ahead and capture them! How am I supposed to get the Devil Fruit if they don't capture all the Tailed Beasts?"

Sasuke Uchiha gritted his teeth, "I admit you're strong, and you've taught me some abilities, but don't be so arrogant! Those are Six Paths Madara and Six Paths Obito! And... Kaguya Otsutsuki!"

Uchiha U turned back to Sasuke and smiled, "Times have changed."

"If Kai can't kick out this kind of ending, I'll kick it out for you to see!"

What makes him so confident?
Because he can do more than just kick Night Guy!
