Uchiha En was not surprised by this situation, because Indra and Ashura originally died while fighting each other, which is why their Chakra has been continuously reincarnating.
"Nijo, merging these two streams of Chakra will probably require your power," Uchiha En reminded him.
In the original work, both Madara and Obito only entered Six Paths Mode after gathering the powers of Indra and Ashura and becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.
It is clear that the power of the Ten-Tails is also the key to reaching the threshold of the Six Paths.
Hearing this, two masses of red Chakra appeared on Nijo's claws.
Under the guidance of these masses of red Chakra, the Chakra of Indra and Ashura began to merge.
In the blink of an eye, all three types of Chakra disappeared, replaced by a black sphere.
After seeing the sphere, Uchiha En instantly teleported back into the Barrier.
The black sphere floated quietly in the air, and Uchiha En couldn't even sense a trace of danger emanating from it.
"This thing seems to be the Truth-Seeking Orb from Six Paths Sage Art," Nijo said, also examining the black sphere.
"Nijo, are you sure you're not mistaken? Why don't I feel dangerous at all?" Uchiha En asked with a frown.
Nijo ignored Uchiha En's words, instead controlling the black sphere to transform into a black rod, which he then shot toward a sand dune dozens of meters away.
The moment the black rod touched the sand dune, the sand particles touched by the Truth-Seeking Orb began to disintegrate one by one.
This disintegration was silent; if Uchiha En's Minds Eye wasn't strong enough, he wouldn't have been able to perceive it at all.
Uchiha En's pupils contracted slightly. This characteristic was undoubtedly the Truth-Seeking Orb, but why couldn't he sense any danger from it?
Was it because the Truth-Seeking Orb was controlled by Nijo? Or was there some other reason?
Just as Uchiha En was utterly perplexed, Nijo spoke: "The Truth-Seeking Orb encompasses Yin-Yang Release, the Five Elements, and the power of All Creation. It is the most fundamental power in this world, like flowing air. It's normal that you can't sense any danger."
Only then did Uchiha En realize the truth. After thinking for a moment, he turned to Nijo and asked, "Nijo, you can perfectly control this Truth-Seeking Orb, right?"
"Yes, this Truth-Seeking Orb is formed by my power, so controlling it shouldn't be a problem."
Uchiha En's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he said to Nijo, "Nijo, try having this Truth-Seeking Orb attack my Ice Clone."
After speaking, Uchiha En used Ice Release to create an Ice Clone.
Nijo told Uchiha En's main body to move further away, transformed the black rod back into a black sphere, and controlled the sphere to pass directly through Uchiha En's Ice Clone.
The instant the Ice Clone came into contact with the Truth-Seeking Orb, Uchiha En felt that he had lost connection with the clone, and then something startling happened.
His Ice Clone, merely touched by the Truth-Seeking Orb, shattered directly into pieces on the ground.
"Hiss~~" Uchiha En sucked in a cold breath. Was this the power of the Truth-Seeking Orb? It truly was extraordinary!
"En, don't be too quick to be surprised. I discovered a small secret about the Truth-Seeking Orb while controlling it." With that, Nijo transformed the Truth-Seeking Orb into an oval shield.
"I know that. The Truth-Seeking Orb can change its shape at will," Uchiha En said.
"I'm not talking about that. I want you to feel the special sensation the Truth-Seeking Orb gives off when it changes form."
"Special sensation?" Hearing this, Uchiha En immediately concentrated his mind to sense the Truth-Seeking Orb in Nijo's hand.
Nijo cooperated by controlling the Truth-Seeking Orb to transform into various shapes.
After the Truth-Seeking Orb had changed shape more than ten times, Uchiha En finally understood what Nijo meant by that sensation.
"The power of the Truth-Seeking Orb is actually this black substance. It seems the Truth-Seeking Orb is not an aggregation of Chakra like the Rasengan, but a truly existing material."
"Yes, I noticed that just now. To put it plainly, this substance is a mixture of Yin-Yang Release plus five types of elemental Chakra, and the mixing agent is the Chakra of Indra and Ashura."
"But wasn't this Truth-Seeking Orb formed by merging the Chakra inside you? Shouldn't the mixing agent be your own Chakra?" Uchiha En asked, recalling how Nijo had condensed the Truth-Seeking Orb, feeling a bit strange.
"It was indeed my Chakra initially, but I'm not sure what changes occurred during the merging process. However, the appearance of the Truth-Seeking Orb undoubtedly uses my Chakra as the main component, supplemented by the Chakra of Indra and Ashura.
Furthermore, since the Truth-Seeking Orb is a real substance, that means it is a product of Yin-Yang Release. Only Yin-Yang Release can materialize the intangible and create something out of nothing."
Hearing Nijo's words, Uchiha En couldn't help but think of Black Zetsu. Black Zetsu was a product of Yin-Yang Release plus Kaguya's will.
Thinking of this, Uchiha En understood Nijo's idea, and Black Zetsu's existence actually confirmed Nijo's speculation from another angle.
For the next few hours, Uchiha En and Nijo continued to study the Truth-Seeking Orb, essentially figuring out its characteristics.
Under the pair's "manipulation," the Truth-Seeking Orb finally couldn't hold up and dispersed on its own.
"A single Truth-Seeking Orb can continuously change shape and attack for four or five hours. That's incredibly durable!" Uchiha En exclaimed.
"Indeed! This power is stronger than I imagined. Keep going, En! Once you unlock the Rinnegan, combined with my existence, we can also enter Six Paths Mode and create our own Truth-Seeking Orb."
Uchiha En nodded. Since he had a cheat/system, wouldn't unlocking the Rinnegan just be a matter of time?
"By the way, En, I have finished cultivating the jutsu you obtained from that golden box earlier."
"Really? Then we'll have even more confidence for our upcoming trip to the Moon," Uchiha En said with a smile.
Previously, when Uchiha En merged with Nijo, his level immediately soared by ten ranks.
Uchiha En naturally claimed the Level 70 reward as well, but the jutsu was useless to him and instead was greatly beneficial to Nijo.
Uchiha En handed the jutsu over to Nijo, and now that Nijo has successfully mastered it, their subsequent journey to the Moon has a few more guarantees.
With so many trump cards, it could be said that all preparations were ready, lacking only the East Wind.
However, after all this time, the East Wind still hadn't arrived.
Uchiha En had entrusted Cat Granny, the Bounty Hunter Post, and various other intelligence merchants to search for the passage leading to the Moon, but they had consistently found nothing.
"These Ōtsutsuki on the Moon are truly cautious. The passage is hidden so well. I hope we don't really have to wait until Ōtsutsuki Toneri's father brings Ōtsutsuki Toneri to Konoha for a stroll before we can find the way to the Moon!" Uchiha En thought to himself.
