Chapter 141 : Hong Hong's Luck!

"Which reward should I choose?" 

Ōtsutsuki Kaguya pondered, her thoughts swirling without clear direction.

The reincarnation fruit undeniably offered an escape from her seal, yet the prospect of waiting eighteen long years to regain her memories and strength seemed daunting. The world could change drastically in that time, leaving her at a disadvantage.

Opting for another treasure could potentially grant her an opportunity to shatter the shackles and break free from the seal effortlessly after obtaining Golden List rewards in the future. 

However, there remained the risk of selecting the Heavenly Eyeball and prolonging her stay within the seal. Waiting eighteen more years might not guarantee her freedom.

Ultimately, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya settled on the Heavenly Eyeball.

She chose to remain within the seal for now, eagerly anticipating the rewards promised by the Golden List.

"Extract the Heavenly Eyeball," Ōtsutsuki Kaguya commanded.

With a hum, the Heavenly Eyeball was extracted and seamlessly merged into her soul, transforming into a potent soul eye that augmented all her ocular abilities.

Simultaneously, the power within Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's eyes surged as the Heavenly Eyeball integrated, amplifying her ocular prowess.

Boom!

A surge of newfound power coursed through Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's being, elevating her strength to unprecedented heights. Despite reaching the pinnacle of the Six Paths level, the seal remained unbroken.

"I have yet to transcend to the level of the Six Paths," Ōtsutsuki Kaguya remarked with little surprise, anticipating this outcome.

She attempted to breach the moon seal, but even with her might, the seal's magic held firm, causing the moon to quiver.

[Tsunade: Ōtsutsuki Kaguya opted for the Heavenly Eyeball over the reincarnation fruit.]

[Kakashi: While the reincarnation fruit offered a swift path to freedom, probably the fear of missing the Golden List rewards for eighteen years made her resist choosing it.]

[Fourth Raikage: Her decision is not without merit. Over the course of eighteen years, she may find a way to break the seal and emerge stronger than before, a more prudent choice than immediate reincarnation.]

[Third Tsuchikage: Indeed, the cycle of reincarnation is not without risks. Who knows what might happen in those eighteen years? It's possible that death could lead her directly to the Pure Land!]

[Uchiha Madara: "Choosing the Heavenly Eyeball is indeed a wise decision; it directly enhances strength, much more dependable than the Illusory Reincarnation."]

The announcement for the seventh place reward on the Six Paths list was imminent.

At that moment, Honghong tightly embraced Yasao.

"Master, grant me luck. I hope this time my fortune will skyrocket!" Honghong exclaimed eagerly, eyes shining with anticipation.

"Certainly! There shall be a bountiful reward!" Yasao assured, patting Honghong's red hair affectionately.

Honghong shared the sentiment.

Soon, two reward options materialized on the screen.

The first was a golden pill:

[Rank Five Golden Pill: A potent pill known to greatly enhance Chakra reserves while also fortifying the body. It extends lifespan by 300 years and aids in healing injuries.]

The second reward was a vial of blood essence:

[Nine-Yuan Blood Fox Blood Essence: A rare essence surpassing even divine beasts, capable of significantly enhancing strength and speed. It carries a high probability of awakening the Nine-Yuan Blood Fox lineage and extends lifespan by 2000 years.]

Upon seeing these rewards, Honghong leaped with excitement.

"Master, I'm incredibly fortunate to have received such rewards for being only seventh on the Six Paths list!" Honghong exclaimed joyously.

"Yes, both rewards are exceptional. However, I would recommend choosing the Nine-Yuan Blood Fox lineage," Yasao advised.

Honghong agreed.

This was a chance to acquire a bloodline beyond that of divine beasts, one she couldn't afford to miss. With her master's guidance, obtaining the Nine-Yuan Blood Fox bloodline would be effortless.

Thus, she promptly selected the Nine-Yuan Blood Fox blood essence.

After Yasao shared a secret technique, she withdrew to refine the blood of the nine-element blood fox.

[Fourth Raikage: The rewards for the fox demon Honghong are exceptional, even the seventh-ranked rewards on the Six Paths list are impressive!"

[Senju Hashirama: Indeed, the rewards are substantial. Usually, a Rank Five golden pill is reserved for the first place. Even if one ranks second or third, they receive less than the Rank Five pill. The seventh-ranked reward, however, surprisingly offers a Rank Five pill. What luck! Yet, instead of choosing the Rank Five pill, she opted for the superior nine-yuan blood fox essence blood."

[Terumi Mei: Acquiring the nine-yuan blood fox essence blood will not only significantly enhance the fox demon Honghong's strength, but it will also accelerate her cultivation speed in the future. Remarkable progress awaits."

[Tsunade: Comparatively, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's reward is decent, but in terms of potential, it's rather average."

[Garaga: I hope my reward is only slightly inferior to Sister Honghong's.]

Soon, the eighth-ranked reward on the Six Paths list was announced, this time bestowed upon Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo.

Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo was quite eager for this reward, naturally desiring to enhance his strength.

Two reward items appeared on the screen.

The first item was a Rank Four Golden Pill.

[Rank Four Golden Pill: Significantly boosts Chakra, refines the physique, extends lifespan by 300 years, and possesses wound-healing properties…

The second item was a flower.

[Flower of the Divine Eye: Enhances spiritual power, fortifies the soul, and amplifies the prowess of ocular techniques. There's a minuscule chance of ocular technique evolution."

Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo was content with these rewards and felt no disappointment.

Which reward should he choose?

After contemplating for a while, he finally selected the Flower of the Divine Eye.

"Extract the Flower of the Divine Eye."

Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo promptly obtained the Flower of the Divine Eye from the live broadcast room, swallowed it, and began refining it.

Boom!

A surge of peculiar energy inundated his soul, refining it entirely. His spiritual power surged, and the potency of his ocular technique increased.

The effects of the Flower of the Divine Eye manifested swiftly, but unfortunately, his ocular technique did not evolve.

Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo lamented.

However, considering the extremely low probability, if his ocular technique had evolved, it would have been extraordinarily fortunate.

Soon, he felt a wave of relief wash over him, his earlier concerns fading into the background.

Meanwhile, the reward for attaining the ninth position on the Six Paths list was also disclosed.
