While Kaguya was busy in Kara's Hideout, Bibi Dong yawned and returned to the Moon Castle with Umeshiki.
Umeshiki honestly wanted to stay behind and look for Amado's research on Shibai's genetic codes but decided not to oppose Bibi Dong's needs, or she would get bullied again.
Not to mention, Umeshiki was quite jealous of Koji, Kawaki, and Amado's Spirit Awakening. Watching them awaken unique Martial Souls and Artificial Souls made her feel worthless.
Sure, Umeshiki has her own unique Dojutsu and stands on the elite height of the Otsutsuki Clan, but those abilities aren't practical!
Koji's Ten Directions and Amado's Origin Energy Sight are more practical than her self-sabotaging Dojutsu. Damn it!
"Are you frustrated?" asked Bibi Dong calmly.
"Do you feel utterly worthless knowing a group of mortals can surpass your strength?"
"Do you feel your Otsutsuki's Pride got beaten to the ground, crushed by the possibility of defeat in mortal's hand?"
"I..." Umeshiki doesn't know how to reply.
Bibi Dong smiled faintly, "You're on the right path, Ume."
"Some people never learn their lesson and remain prideful. Once broken, they become weak, stagnant, and unmotivated. They blamed others for their lack of ability, never realizing they were the problem."
"I've witnessed many geniuses fall down the abyss due to their arrogance and overestimation. Being a loser is fine, but being a sore loser isn't. One must take a step back to walk two steps forward."
"Ume, you have yet to reach your full potential. The peak you're claiming is nothing but just a new beginning."
"Are you ready to take up my challenge?" Her calm and pleasant voice was like honey. It gives Umeshiki a sense of newfoundness.
Umeshiki took a deep breath and replied, "I'm ready, Mistress. For you, Yunlong-sama, and myself!"
Bibi Dong chuckled, "You should prioritize Yunlong first. Our love for him is the very foundation of my Divinity."
"Mm." Umeshiki understood.
Their arrival at the Moon Castle didn't go unnoticed.
Training Ground.
Ah Yin opened her eyes slowly and glanced at the Moon Castle. "She has returned with that woman. To accept someone as an apostle is no easy matter."
"Hmm, that woman must have quite a potential."
She moved her gaze back to Toneri and Sara. They had trained under her for a while, mastering their recently awakened Martial Souls and Spirit Skills and forming bonds with their Artificial Souls.
"I'm back!" Bibi Dong made her entrance known.
Ah Yin rolled her eyes and didn't respond, gaining a chuckle from the Goddess of Love.
"Welcome back!" greeted Toneri and Sara. They are tired but still has a smile on their faces.
The feeling of improvement is addicting.
Toneri hasn't used his Tenseigan for years and believes it was necessary to repay his sin. However, his strength is declining rapidly after years of cutting Chakra Support from the Great Tenseigan.
He knew the Otsutsuki Clan's branch on the moon would get threatened when the Main Clan decided to attack them. And they will, after the arrival of Yunlong and others.
The awakening of Martial Soul allows Toneri to regain his confidence.
However, Toneri was shocked to see a Main Clan's Otsutsuki coming to the Moon Castle.
"Mother, stay back!" Toneri quickly jumped into action as he shielded Sara and faced Umeshiki like he would fight her in a life-and-death battle.
"..."
'What's wrong with this kid?' Umeshiki gave Toneri a 'blank' look.
'Did he think I was going to attack him? A mere descendant of Otsutsuki with a thin bloodline?'
Bibi Dong laughed in amusement, "Don't get too riled up, Toneri. Ume means no harm."
"But she's from the Main Clan." Toneri frowned, already summoning an azure tiger. He was ready to attack anytime.
Umeshiki shook her head bitterly and replied, "I have betrayed the Main Clan. Right now, I'm just a humble follower of Mistress Bibi Dong-sama."
"Don't worry. I won't try to attack you."
Toneri still didn't believe in Umeshiki.
Umeshiki's mouth twitched, "If you don't believe me, at last believe in Mistress's decision."
'What a brat! You're not sensible at all!'
After hearing Umeshiki's reasoning, Toneri lowered his vigilance and glanced at Bibi Dong, who hardly held her laughter.
Sara smacked Toneri's back and sighed helplessly, "Stop making a fool of yourself."
"With Bibi Dong around, do you think Otsutsuki from the Main Clan could pose a threat against us? Toneri, you should probably get some rest."
Toneri has no words to refute his mother. He cultivated like no tomorrow and was indeed tired.
"Go rest." Ah Yin finally opened her mouth. "Injuring your spirit for short-term gain is not worth it."
"O-Okay..." Toneri replied somewhat fearfully.
He and Sara have learned under Ah Yin. He knew this emotionless-looking woman was ruthless in her training and wouldn't stop until they reached the required standards.
In fact, Toneri and Sara found Ah Yin similar to a cold machine.
She didn't show much emotion and ruled with an iron fist.
If Ah Yin knew what Toneri was thinking, she'd smack him.
She didn't show emotion because they didn't deserve it. Only Yunlong, her master, deserves her emotion and love.
Umeshiki watched Toneri stepping out of the Training Ground, "That boy's Byakugan's purity is decent. Unfortunately, he wasted them by diluting its quality with other Byakugan."
"This... What do you mean by diluting, Otsutsuki-san?" Sara squinted her eyes at Umeshiki.
Umeshiki stared at Sara and found her vitality was overflowing. There is also this space-time Chakra Signatures coming from her body.
'This presence... Did this woman get Yunlong-sama's favor already?'
'Damn, I'm so jealous!'
Umeshiki cleared her throat and answered, "Call me Umeshiki or Ume, whatever you prefer."
"As for your confusion, yes. It's what you're thinking."
"Every Otsutsuki is born with Byakugan, with some small exceptions."
"The purity of Byakugan decided the base limit."
"You can improve it by training Mental Technique, eating Chakra Fruit, or combining them with other Byakugan. But this last method is harmful and undesirable."
"Combining pure Byakugan with other impure Byakugan would dilute its quality. While Byakugan can evolve to Tenseigan, the quality is less than Byakugan Pure Otsutsuki awakened upon birth."
"He's lucky he awakened future sights, fate, and destiny clairvoyant."
"In fact, Pure Byakugan has those abilities without needing to evolve into Tenseigan..."
"Do you get it?"
Sara has a connection with the Great Tenseigan and knows what Umeshiki says is true. The Great Tenseigan gradually deteriorated for years, as if all the Byakugan inside were disintegrating and losing their powers.
She couldn't help but sigh, "Otsutsuki Clan's bloodline is indeed great."
"No, we are actually not that great," Umeshiki replied and put on a bitter expression. "We are 'thoroughly' blinded by our greed, and our pride gets the best of us."
"The Otsutsuki's Main Clan will surely fall in this war."
"They are-!'
"They are here!" Umeshiki abruptly turned around sharply. She stared at the ceiling with a dark expression. "The Main Clan has sent another Otsutsuki. Two, no, three of them."
Bibi Dong also sensed a tear in space above the moon. "It seems your disappearance has alerted them, though only a few hours passed since then."
"You're wrong, though."
"They actually sent four members this time."
Umeshiki's eyes widened as she realized something, "Tanshiki, Komushiki, Jinshiki, and Ginshiki..."
"The Four Monsters of Azure Moon!"
"They actually sent high-level members after me."
"Are they strong?" Bibi Dong looked puzzled.
Umeshiki responded awkwardly, "Compared to you, Mistress. They are nothing."
"However, I'm afraid of their annoying abilities. The combination of their Shinjutsu is as annoying as the current Acting Patriarch."
"Oh, that guy..." Bibi Dong recalled their conversations.
"Well, I'd like to see what they have."
But suddenly, a blue-silver vine stopped Bibi Dong.
"What's the meaning of this, Ah Yin?" Bibi Dong looked at the Asura Goddess calmly.
Ah Yin also stared at Bibi Dong and replied, "Let me handle them."
"But you haven't recovered from the injury... You also can't use your Asura Goddess's Seat here." Bibi Dong narrated.
Ah Yin jumped off her seat and landed gently on the ground, allowing her shoeless feet to touch the moon's soil.
She sensed every Blue Silver Grass she had planted on the moon and surrounding asteroids.
She used them as her eyes and other senses.
Then, she opened her blue eyes slowly and stated, "Before Asura Goddess..."
"I Am Master Yunlong's Servant."
Swoosh!
Ah Yin vanished from Bibi Dong's sight.
"That woman... I thought she was mute, but no. She's just as competitive as others!" Bibi Dong sighed in amazement.
