One of the three holy places, Longdi Cave.
Jiang Yuan came here through the reverse psychic scroll given by Orochimaru. After confirming that the location was correct, he eased the chakra in his body that was always ready to activate the mark of the Flying Thunder God. The surroundings were dark and damp, and snakes crawled on the ground and occasionally revealed snake messages. , there are mossy gravels everywhere, the haze is thick, but the air is very fresh, and the environment is rich in natural energy.
Among the many stone bell pillars shrouded in clouds and mist, Jiang Yuan stepped forward. According to Orochimaru, Ryūchi Cave is between reality and illusion. It is a secret realm used for cruel training. Anyone who enters here just out of curiosity will be stared at by the White Snake Sage. There is no way to break away from it. Only those who pursue strength can face it.
In the thick fog, a row of orange light shone faintly. After getting closer, a splendid palace appeared in this seemingly barren place. The words "Longdi Cave" were clearly written on the huge plaque. The door opened, and behind him The green-haired woman in gorgeous clothes folded her sleeves with her hands and spoke elegantly:
"I have been waiting for you for a long time. Welcome to Longdi Cave." Tian Xin Shenji said softly, and then stretched out her hand towards the delicacies on the exquisite long table. "White Snake Immortal is in the deep temple. Please rest first. What can I do? I will convey the matter to you.”
Jiang Yuan's face was calm. Just like the Toad Immortal can predict the future, the White Snake Immortal also has a special ability. It can hear all the sounds in the ninja world. It's not surprising to know that he will come. Perhaps strange things will happen if you practice the magic to a high level, but at this time The span is probably thousands of years.
"Stop wasting my time."
The turbulent flow of dark chakra flowed out of the body, and the spirit firmly suppressed the surging negative emotions. The chakra turned into threads visible to the naked eye and began to disturb irregularly. The palace was instantly dispersed, and a forest was exposed on the spot. White bones, those who eat the food will have difficulty returning to the world.
Tian Xin Shenji's expression froze for a moment. According to the rules set by Lord White Snake, they can eat losers, but they can only let those who pass their test pass.
"Don't think you can pass..."
"Pass what?"
The Grass Pheasant Sword was pulled out from Jiang Yuan's waist. Thunder and lightning spread from the blade, with a length of more than ten meters. The dark blue thunder blade was placed on Tian Xin Shenji's shoulder. The sharp breath made the scales on the side of her neck stand up. .
"You will definitely pass all the tests." Tian Xin Shenji lowered her head and replied. The speed of the opponent's sword draw was too fast. The extremely powerful swordsmanship made all preparations streamlined to the tiniest detail. With the extremely sharp grass pheasant sword, The killing power has reached a shocking level. If the person's lightning escape level is sufficient, paralysis will even restrain those regenerative abilities.
"I accept your good advice and lead the way." Jiang Yuan sheathed his sword.
"plz follow me."
Tian Xinji turned around and walked quickly, trying to get out of the range of this guy's sword, but someone didn't give him a chance and kept following him.
The surrounding landscape is still dim, and the fog is getting denser and denser, as if it is about to condense into a solid body. In the silence, the crawling and spitting sounds of snakes echo in the ears, and the cold moisture is lingering. There are only two figures walking one after another on the stone. On the road.
"This is the location of the second test. Please allow me to leave temporarily." Tian Xin Shenji turned around and said respectfully. If I had known she would not be close to the opponent, the feeling of being cut down at any time is really uncomfortable.
Suddenly, a water needle engraved with the mark of the Flying Thunder God pierced her body. Tian Xin Shenji almost fought for her life, it was simply too much!
"If you can wipe out the water needle faster than I can react, then feel free." Jiang Yuan said bluntly.
"how could be."
The so-called "immortal" seemed to smile implicitly. Senju Okra had learned the art of Flying Thunder God, which the White Snake Immortal already knew in advance. In other words, Ryūchi Cave could not keep the opponent, and the Fourth Hokage relied on it. Famous stunts have few rivals in saving lives.
Tian Xin Shenji slowly retreated, and the surrounding area instantly turned into a cave. The ground was scattered with a large number of colorful stones. The stone walls next to it were covered with depressions of various shapes, and they fit in with some of the stones on the ground.
Jiang Yuan suddenly reached out his hand to the left and grabbed the black-haired girl's neck. Wood Release followed. Countless long snake-like wooden strips crazily spread from the wrist and then wrapped around her. The spikes stretched out and penetrated the body, back and forth. The clasp formed a body-binding lock.
"The ability is good, remember to restrain your breath next time."
Ichikishimahime struggled painfully for two times. Seeing that Senju Okra had no intention of continuing to attack, she immediately left the range of the wooden escape body lock through snake slough. Her abilities are floating and invisibility. The latter is for someone. It doesn't make much sense.
"As long as you put the stones into the corresponding depressions, you can leave." Ichikishimahime hesitated for a moment and said: "There is a depression that does not have matching stones. You can remove the extra ones. I have told you the key. Don't Let me down."
Jiang Yuan shook his head and directly launched the Flying Thunder God to arrive at the location of the palace. The mark of Midgard engraved on a white bone shone slightly with ink marks.
Ichikishimahime: "..."
It was an unnecessary move on her part.
Deep in the thick fog, the third Snake Immortal appeared, looking like a beautiful red-haired woman.
"My name is Tuanjin Ji, and you are responsible for the last test, but you don't seem to be willing to come into contact with my snake teeth. The three tests are all previews of integrating Longdi Cave magic. If you give up, you can go to There will be no turning back." Tuanjinji said, Ryūchi Cave is different from Miaomu Mountain, a weapon like toad oil to assist cultivation does not exist here, and only those who survived the brutal elimination are qualified to master the Snake Immortal Technique.
"Lead the way, I don't need anyone else to take responsibility for me."
"plz follow me."
As they moved forward, the fog gradually thinned, until it finally dissipated completely. The two of them walked onto a stone square with a towering ancient temple half embedded in the cliff.
When the heavy door of the temple was pushed open, the seemingly endless vermilion steps appeared in front of the eyes. At the end of the line of sight, a big white snake was lying on the couch, with a snake-shaped stone statue behind it carrying a huge scroll.
"Everyone who comes here is qualified to have access to immortal arts. If you pass the test, you can get my guidance." The White Snake Immortal transformed into an old-looking mother-in-law and tapped the side of his forehead in distress. "Although they don't seem to be paying much attention this time, my rules are more important. The aura on your body makes the three of them feel afraid. Can you tell me the reason?"
"I don't know." Jiang Yuan didn't want to explain complicated alchemy to the other party. He came here to learn, not to teach. After understanding Taiyi, his body has acquired a semi-spiritual nature, and his consciousness projection carries a hint of the aura of the advanced dragon clan. Under the influence of the strict bloodline, even if it is very weak, the difficulty of the test of the three Snake Immortals has been greatly reduced. As for the White Snake Immortal who has survived for thousands of years, he is not affected by this breath.
The White Snake Immortal choked up. He didn't expect the other party to be so "frank".
"Your attitude really doesn't look like someone who came here to study."
Jiang Yuan was noncommittal. Since Longdi Cave had left a mark, if the two sides were completely hostile, he could use the Flying Thunder God to come over repeatedly to inflict damage, which was called "Returning to the Water Gate". As long as he was patient and cautious, he could theoretically do it on his own. Destroying the Holy Land is the basis for peaceful communication between the two sides. Details such as tone are not important.
The White Snake Immortal shook his head and laughed. It had not seen such an indifferent young man for a long time. When the indifference exceeds a certain limit, his external behavior tends to be arrogant, but in fact he is completely indifferent.
"Long before the emergence of chakra, there was natural energy in the world. This energy can only be controlled by a very small number of beings. After success, it has demonstrated power far beyond the ordinary, so the user is called a sage." White Snake Sage He got off the bed and walked slowly on crutches.
"Natural energy has a very large increase in ninjutsu and physical fitness. Simply put, it is matched with physical energy and mental energy in a ratio of 1:1:1. The latter two constitute chakra, which plays a role in the fusion. It protects the body. Direct contact of natural energy with life will cause alienation. Therefore, the ratio of energy must be strict. No matter it is exceeded or lacking, even just a little, it will affect the safety of the cultivator. The side of Miaomu Mountain should be turned into a stone statue. Well, our side is snake transformation, both of which will cause the consciousness of life to die."
"As for the benefits, in addition to strengthening, it can also enhance the user's perception and master inorganic reincarnation. Of course, this refers to the magic of Ryūchi Cave. If you want to learn Frog Kumite, you have to change the door." White Snake Immortal smiled and said: "But with the Dragon Miaomushan will not want you if you have traces of the cave.”
Jiang Yuan nodded upon hearing this.
White Snake Immortal: "..."
I beg you to learn! ?
"Let's put forward the conditions first," Jiang Yuan said.
The White Snake Immortal was surprised by the other party's keenness, and simply said bluntly: "I will teach you with all my heart, but only if you help me do something smoothly. Since your breath can make the three of them feel afraid, it should also be the same for other snakes." Effectively, in the most violent snake nest in Longdi Cave, there is a very powerful snake. Its name is Xinya. It often bullies and even devours other people of its kind. I hope you can bring its reverse scale. Due to the rules, I can't. Teach a lesson."
"Who gave you the rules?"
"No one. Longdi Cave is a holy land for snakes. The most important thing is freedom. For an individual, I have to bear the risk of being disqualified from the holy land. I don't want to do this. If your eyes have been tempered for thousands of years, you will be like me." Likewise, I can’t help but always worry about the future, after all, it seems to me like something that might happen tomorrow.”
"Okay, let's learn the magic first."
The White Snake Immortal hesitated for a long time. The Thousand-Armed Okra came and went without any trouble, and there was nothing he could do to escape it.
"I need a qualified psychic beast."
"Then there's no need to bring Ni Lin, just let it settle down."
The White Snake Immortal took Jiang Yuan to the roof of the temple, which is the place with the strongest natural energy.
"Be mentally prepared. Everyone who attempts to obtain the power of the Snake Immortal Technique, whether successful or not, will eventually have a certain degree of alienation in their body. I will inject natural energy into you and remember this feeling."
After saying that, a small black snake emerged from its cuff, climbed all the way to Jiang Yuan's neck, and then spontaneously ignited into powder without wind. The moment the powder came into contact with the skin, it was all integrated into Jiang Yuan's body. .
From an angle that could not be observed with the naked eye, the reunited natural energy suddenly seemed to have found a breakthrough and flowed towards the place where the powder disappeared.
Jiang Yuan began to refine chakra for matching, and black horns quickly grew on his forehead. The share of natural energy exceeded the proportion, but his face was always calm. Thunderbolt was released. The thunder and lightning destroyed those alienated cells, and then became alive again. The technique was immediately broken and repaired. Without the toad oil and stopping measures, it was not a big problem. He could still survive.
With step-by-step testing and adjustment, the quotas of the three energies were rapidly approaching the correct ratio. Five minutes later, purple eye shadow appeared around Jiang Yuan's eyes. The White Snake Immortal froze on the spot, unable to hide the shock in his eyes, because The opponent's immortal mode has been completed.
"A genius...that's not right." The White Snake Immortal had a complex expression, "What a genius."
Jiang Yuan opened his eyes and said: "It's not enough. The energy ratio involving control is no problem, but the process of absorbing natural energy will require you to come again a few times. In addition, I hope to live temporarily in Longdi Cave for a month."
Although Sage Mode is not difficult for someone, if he wants to succeed instantly under various conditions, he still has to adapt for a while, at least to the extent that he can enter it immediately while moving. Natural energy in the ninja world The distribution is not uniform, and there are even extremely subtle differences every kilometer. What he expects is the perfect immortal mode, and this requires a complete mastery of natural energy.
"Everything in the world does not necessarily have to be perfect." The White Snake Immortal rarely persuaded. It understood Qianju Okra's thoughts. What the other party pursues is impeccable power in various environments and at various opportunities, and this requires more efforts. Omitted energy.
"Human talent is limited, so we must learn to cherish it. If we are a little bit close to this thing or a little bit to that thing, we will only get further and further away from the goal in the end. Since I can do it, there is no reason to avoid it."
Jiang Yuan stood up. In Immortal Mode, his perception was greatly improved. The thick fog in Longdi Cave seemed to dissipate at this moment, and all movements and movements were clearly visible.
With one step, the immortal mode was automatically cancelled, and the natural energy was eliminated from the body. When he jumped off the roof of the temple, just three seconds after landing, the purple eye shadow reappeared, but this was far from enough. What he wanted was instant completion and normalization. , three seconds is too long in some battles.
"I have a hunch that you will grow into a great ninja." White Snake Sage said with sincere appreciation.
Jiang Yuan did not refute. He had no obsession with the identity of a ninja. Moreover, the era of ninjas had ended decades after the original timeline. Even aesthetics had evolved from contact lenses to tattoos, but he just needed to understand the spirit.
The White Snake Immortal returned to the temple and took the scroll from the snake-shaped stone statue. "Here are several immortal techniques that can be used in Immortal mode. You can learn them on your own. I can't teach you anything. Besides, there is a deep pool behind the temple. There is a special water liquid that can be used in conjunction with water escape. Its attack power may not be as good as Miaomu Mountain's oil and fire escape, but its binding power after solidification far exceeds it."
