Chapter 190: The Unity of the Three Great Celestial Techniques [67]
Feng Ye found that having Lin around made a significant difference.
Almost everything that lived in Mount Myoboku was an insect, and he wasn't Bear Grylls, able to stomach anything. With Lin, however, he could eat normal human meals most of the time.
Moreover, her presence didn't interfere with his training. He could dedicate all his time to cultivation without wasting any on foraging for food.
Five days of cultivation.
That was twenty-five days in time-accelerated state.
It was much faster than cultivating the Dragon Cave's celestial technique, naturally because he was now more adept at it after having trained in the Dragon Cave's technique.
After mastering the Mount Myoboku celestial technique, Feng Ye didn't rush to the Forest of Chill Bones. Instead, he embarked on a suicidal training attempt.
First, he activated the Mount Myoboku celestial technique.
Then, on top of that, he attempted to use the Dragon Cave's celestial technique.
The result was...
Boom!
The violent clash of natural energy within his body nearly tore him apart.
Feng Ye then tried a second suicidal attempt—this time, dividing his body, letting one half accommodate the Mount Myoboku celestial technique and the other half the Dragon Cave's. This attempt also failed.
His body nearly split down the middle.
The celestial techniques of Mount Myoboku and Dragon Cave seemed to be related to Yin-Yang Release, one leaning towards the gentle, the other fierce. But they couldn't be forcibly fused just because they seemed complementary.
On his final attempt, he used the Hundred Seals Technique on top of Cell Activation, combining the two states. This time, he managed to achieve a weak balance, albeit a strange one.
He entered a bizarre state.
Coexisting in two hermit modes made his aura extremely heavy.
However...
This state didn't last long, only sustaining for a few seconds before collapsing.
While he could maintain this state with Time Reversal, it was meaningless to Feng Ye. In this dual hermit mode, the power he could exert wasn't much different from the Fifth Gate of the Eight Inner Gates.
It was even weaker in terms of speed and power, only offering enhanced senses.
This wasn't what he wanted.
He sought a perfect Hermit Body, a power that could merge with the Eight Inner Gates.
"Let's go, Lin."
"We're heading to the Forest of Chill Bones."
Feng Ye didn't linger and soon left with Lin.
Feng Ye's departure finally relieved the Great Toad Sage, who had been on edge during Feng Ye's stay.
...
Time flew.
Konoha Year 47 passed in the blink of an eye.
This year was eventful—the rise of the Golden Flash that shocked the ninja world, the return of the Silver Flash, the birth of the Fourth Hokage, and the death of the Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist...
Yet, the year came to an end.
Time marched on, unaffected by the events that transpired, like an unending river flowing ceaselessly forward.
Half a month after leaving Mount Myoboku, Feng Ye and Lin arrived at the Forest of Chill Bones.
Obtaining the Forest of Chill Bones' celestial technique was easier, as Slug Sage had a more pleasant personality than the deep Great Toad Sage and the scheming White Snake Sage.
After acquiring the Forest of Chill Bones' technique, Feng Ye began cultivating in the forest. This time, it only took him three days—or nearly half a month in accelerated time—to master it.
Of course...
"The final piece of the puzzle is in place."
Having finally cultivated the Forest of Chill Bones' technique and entered Hermit Mode, Feng Ye opened his eyes.
His face was adorned with hermit markings, and while his appearance hadn't changed much, a sticky white fluid constantly oozed from his body.
As he had expected, the sage jutsu of Mount Myoboku directly enhanced his ninjutsu and taijutsu, while the Dragon Cave's sage jutsu inclined more towards perception and bodily softening. In contrast, the sage jutsu of Mount Myoboku focused on splitting the body and enhancing vitality.
"The perfect form of the Hermit Mode from Mount Myoboku is barely acceptable, after all, it's the protagonist's unique version," Feng Ye remarked, assessing his current state.
Setting aside other factors, the sage jutsu of the Chilling Bone Forest was the least useful of the three sacred sites to him. This was because he possessed the ability to reverse time, rendering the bodily splitting and enhanced vitality from this technique unnecessary.
In this state, it merely served as a lubricant of sorts.
"Now... let the true cultivation begin!"
Feng Ye deactivated the Chilling Bone Forest's sage jutsu, returning his body to its normal state. He then used Time Reversal to restore his sticky clothes to their original condition and sat down to cross-legged once more.
With Cell Activation as the foundation...
The Hundred Seals Technique as the vessel...
And the three great sage jutsus as the elixir...
Feng Ye closed his eyes, and the chakra within him began to stir. The natural energy permeating the Chilling Bone Forest surged towards him.
Under his meticulous control...
One-third of his chakra merged with the sage jutsu of Mount Myoboku, another third with the Dragon Cave's sage jutsu, and the remaining third with the Chilling Bone Forest's sage jutsu.
His overall chakra was divided into three distinct sage chakra masses, which spun and fused with the Chilling Bone Forest's sage jutsu as the harmonizing agent under the control of the Hundred Seals Technique.
This time, the fusion process proceeded without much turbulence.
Compared to his previous attempts to merge the sage jutsus of the Dragon Cave and Mount Myoboku, this endeavor was far simpler, and the Chilling Bone Forest's sage jutsu indeed acted as a 'lubricant.'
It seamlessly united the 'dry' sage jutsus of the Dragon Cave and Mount Myoboku, and the conflicting energies of before were now almost perfectly intertwined without any signs of discord.
Buzz!
Feng Ye abruptly opened his eyes, and a faint golden radiance burst forth from within him. It was the light born from the fusion of the three sage modes, enveloping his body and manifesting as a long, golden robe adorned with intricate sage patterns and designs.
"This is... the perfect Hermit Mode," Feng Ye declared as he stood up, relishing in the sensations of his newfound state.
In this form, he could feel that he simultaneously possessed all the characteristics of the three sage jutsus, their shortcomings complementing each other, and his body remained unaffected by any drawbacks.
Transcending the three individual Hermit Modes, this was the true perfect Hermit Mode!
Never before had anyone dared to attempt to master the sage jutsus of all three sacred sites simultaneously, nor had anyone in the ninja world achieved such a feat. This was something only made possible by Feng Ye's command over the power of time reversal, making him the sole possessor of the perfect Hermit Mode.
"As I expected," Feng Ye murmured.
In this perfect Hermit Mode, the chakra within him flowed dynamically, with the three distinct sage energies intertwining and revolving endlessly. This very flow served to temper his body, refining each and every cell, and transforming his physical constitution.
The triangle is the most stable structure.
Just as the ninja teams in Konoha are composed of two boys and one girl.
He could sense that within this Hermit Mode, the perfectly blended sage chakra of the three techniques was active in every cell of his body. This constantly revolving energy was tempering and refining his cellular structure, molding his body into that of a true sage.
Indeed, this was the path to attaining the body of a sage!
