[Effect: Your physical body has felt the "snake's" understanding of natural energy, and your affinity for "natural energy" has increased by 100% from the original level.]

Your cultivation speed of the immortal arts of the Dragon Cave lineage has increased by 100% from the original level.

The power of your Dragon Cave lineage's immortal techniques has increased by 100% from the original level.

When the "snake" is weaker than you, it will involuntarily bow down to you and acknowledge you as its master.

【Note: You can continue to advance later. 】

"..."

Kiyoshi silently closed the panel, not having the energy to think about anything else.

He felt that every cell was undergoing some inexplicable reaction under the infusion of natural energy.

Keratinized granulation tissue grew on its head, and its skin developed some luminous scaly patterns.

The scent of snakes wafted through the air.

"Failed?"

Princess Tianxin exclaimed in surprise.

Kiyoshi is clearly undergoing a snake transformation.

If the person undergoing the trial cannot withstand the natural energy, the White Snake Immortal will devour them in one bite!

"That shouldn't be the case. He absorbed more natural energy than all the other trial participants."

Princess Ichikishima stroked her chin.

They had never heard of such a strange occurrence.

"Let's see again."

With the most magnificent heart and the most curvaceous figure, Princess Tsurugi opened her beautiful red lips.

The women stopped talking and focused their attention on Qing Si.

"Orochimaru-sensei, I hope Kiyoshi is alright."

Mitarashi Anko asked worriedly.

Chapter 222 Kiyoshi's Sage Mode! Hinata Ginka's Time is Ripe (6k)

Kiyoshi's perception was constantly enhanced at this moment.

With a slight twitch of his nostrils, he could smell the wood in the main hall, the rocks, and even the scent left by the large snakes that had crawled past outside.

The blurry outline continued to deepen in Kiyoshi's mind.

With eyes closed.

He smelled the scent of nature.

He saw a natural scene.

The surroundings became bizarre and colorful, shimmering with seven colors.

Gradually, the colors blended together, as if they were a collection of all colors, yet also as if they were unrelated to any other colors, creating a completely new color.

A color that is difficult to describe in words.

Kiyoshi knew that it was the color of the natural energy within Ryuchi Cave!

He opened his eyes suddenly, as if he had closed them at some point.

The eyeshadow around the eyes has black patterns, and the black pupils appear as gold vertical lines within the eye sockets.

The images of the White Snake Sage, Orochimaru, Mitarashi Anko, and the three "Hime" overlapped and trembled in Kiyoshi's eyes.

It's like there's a continuous double image.

Time is slowing down.

Kiyoshi's senses stopped at that moment.

"Hiss... Ha."

After taking a breath, Kiyoshi couldn't help but let out white steam.

Natural energy rapidly gathered around his body, and the greenish-blue light intensified, as if he were wearing a magnificent greenish-blue robe, illuminating the dim hall.

It tinged everyone's double image with a layer of green.

The green light formed by natural energy condensed into illusory serpents that coiled around Qing Si's body within his swaying, burning turquoise coat.

"You have mastered the entry: 【Nature's Favor (Purple)】."

[Entry: Nature's Favor (Purple)]

[Requirement met: Minimum standard of affinity with natural energy must be achieved.]

【Progress: (Completed).】

[Effect: Your physical body has undergone an unknown change, and your flesh and blood contain a small amount of "natural energy", increasing its accumulation by 100% on the original basis.]

You are blessed by nature; your breath resonates with the natural world, and when you stand on the earth, your absorption efficiency of natural energy increases by 100%.

You can hear the sounds of the "beasts" and understand their emotions.

The seeds of "Wood" Release begin to sprout within the body; the maturation time depends on the strength of one's life force.

【Note: You can continue to advance later. 】

Waiting for the new term to be displayed.

Kiyoshi's stance also stabilized.

The double images of all people and things in my eyes became solid and no longer overlapped.

A surge of power welled up from the deepest part of my body.

"No wonder they always look at me strangely; it's probably because of my affinity with natural energy."

Kiyoshi realized what was happening.

【Flying Bird (Green)】increases affinity with natural energy by 20%, and together with 【Soaring in the Sky (Blue)】, it increases affinity by 40%, for a total of 60%.

For people in the ninja world, even an increase of 1% in affinity is an incredible achievement.

Because no one can do that at all.

The Jugo clan passively attracted the surging natural energy; once they died, they died without any regard for their own safety.

Even Naruto, who stood at the pinnacle of the ninja world, relied on the Nine-Tails' help to condense natural energy and refine it into "Sage Chakra" in the later stages.

Otherwise, he would most likely have died under Sasuke's "Indra's Arrow".

From beginning to end, natural energy never treated him any differently.

The same applies to the period of divine chaos in "Boruto".

The status of natural energy has always existed. Rather, it's more accurate to say that the Otsutsuki clan planted divine trees everywhere precisely because they wanted natural energy, and they fought tooth and nail for it.

If we add the newly acquired [Nature's Blessing (Purple)], Qing Si will have a terrifying 160% bonus.

"Is this the power of immortals?"

Kiyoshi raised his hand, which shimmered with a bluish-green light.

Compared to Kabuto Yakushi's so-called transformation from a snake into a dragon, obtaining the "Perfect Sage Mode".

His posture is more like that of Mitsuki, the clone Orochimaru created in Boruto.

Orochimaru created a large number of clones, constantly erasing their memories, eventually putting Mitsuki into "Sage Mode".

The "Sage Mode" of Mitsuki is similar to Kiyoshi's posture.

However, Kiyoshi could sense that his current "Sage Mode" had not yet reached its limit. The bluish-green light on his body was a "Sage Art Cloak" formed by natural energy drawing upon his own chakra.

Just like the "Tailed Beast Cloak" that appears when a Jinchuriki uses Tailed Beast Chakra.

At this stage, Kiyoshi has only mastered the "Sage Mode" of Ryuchi Cave.

There are also two sacred sites, "Sage Mode" and "Cursed Seal Mode," waiting for him to learn.

Kiyoshi was very curious about what kind of entries he could obtain from these, and to what extent they would perfect his "immortal arts".

Will my physical body undergo further mutations in this state?

Kiyoshi touched the two keratinized granulation tissues that had grown on his forehead; they seemed to be still in their infancy and eager to grow.

Of course, whether they can be used together is still unknown.

This needs to be verified by the Qing court.

Even if they cannot be combined in the end, Kiyoshi can use the "immortal arts" formed by the four different cultivation methods to perfect the "immortal arts" into the optimal solution.

"Hiss..."

The white snake inside the sleeve coiled even tighter, constantly licking Kiyoshi's skin with its forked tongue.

Kiyoshi could now understand the true meaning behind the hissing sound that he used to have to guess at.

That means "It smells so good".

"The Jugo clan's 'animal communication ability'."

Kiyoshi secretly said.

In the original story, Jugo could understand animal language, and he has now mastered that ability as well.

It's a pretty good support ability.

In the vast and thriving ninja world, besides various summoning beasts, there are mostly ordinary creatures.

Kiyoshi's ability to gather intelligence in the wild will greatly increase.

"In these hundreds of years, you are the first human to master the 'Sage Mode' of Ryuchi Cave."

The White Snake Immortal flicked out his tongue.

She laughed again as she looked at Kiyoshi's completely new demeanor.

This is a power that Orochimaru desperately sought but could not obtain; outside this great hall, countless bones lie buried.

Even in a place like Mount Myōboku, countless people have failed in their attempts to cultivate "immortal arts" and turned into toad statues.

This isn't a place she can come and go as she pleases.

Once she can no longer contain the natural energy she injects through her teeth, she will turn into a snake.

Of course, she will swallow it whole during this process.

"Kiyoshi, you really do have the qualifications..."

Orochimaru's eyes gleamed.

The power of "immortal arts" is a technique he failed to master.

The "cursed seal" that was later developed can actually be considered a product that imitates "immortal arts".

He himself didn't know which was better or worse.

Perhaps Kiyoshi can let him know the answer.

"It's all thanks to Lord Orochimaru's excellent training."

Kiyoshi said calmly, his thin, forked tongue faintly visible in his mouth as he spoke.

Besides the "Sage Techniques" of Ryuchi Cave, Orochimaru has many other uses.

Orochimaru hasn't fully exploited the value of biological research.

In this respect, Orochimaru is far ahead, belonging to the most advanced group in the ninja world.

"By the way, can my summoned beast transform into human form like yours?"

Qing Si pulled up his sleeves, revealing the white snake's form.

"This little guy..."

When Princess Tsurugi first met Kiyoshi, she noticed the white snake that had been attached to him.

Compared to beings like them who have lived for hundreds of years, the White Snake is indeed too small in their eyes.
