Chapter 191: Two Months Later 【77】
Having finally unified the three great hermit techniques, attained the perfect Hermit Mode, and discovered the method to cultivate the Hermit Body, Feng Ye chose to remain in the Wet Bone Forest to cultivate.
He intended to cultivate the Hermit Body to a certain extent, at least to a preliminary level of achievement, before leaving. Additionally, the training of the sixth gate of the Eight Inner Gates was also on his agenda.
His strength was somewhat lacking.
The enemies he would soon face were all nearing the level of the Six Paths, and without a higher level of strength, he wouldn't be able to rest easy.
Especially since he was well aware that the Sage of the Six Paths was watching this world, including him, the sense of urgency came from the heart.
He must...
Soon attain the level of the Six Paths!
The reason he hadn't truly lusted for the Rinnegan up until now was that he didn't want to attract excessive attention from the Sage of the Six Paths, which could be very dangerous.
Although he currently possessed super-shadow-level strength due to his time abilities and the Eight Inner Gates, he had not touched upon the Sage's branch line. It was similar to Maito Gai, who could open the eighth gate of the Eight Inner Gates. Despite being able to battle at the level of the Six Paths, he wouldn't attract excessive attention either.
But things would be different from now on.
Sasuke and Naruto would be born soon, and their births would be accompanied by the reincarnation of Indra and Ashura's chakra, which would undoubtedly attract the close attention of the Sage of the Six Paths.
Additionally, Nagato and Uchiha Obito would also inevitably take action, and he would eventually come into contact with the power of the Rinnegan. If he were to go near the Rinnegan, whether the Sage of the Six Paths would interfere was a question that no one could answer.
Therefore...
He must continue to increase his strength.
Feng Ye began his seclusion in the Wet Bone Forest. The reason he chose to cultivate here was that the natural energy here was much richer than in the outside world, making it an excellent place to cultivate the Hermit Body.
...
In a certain part of the Wet Bone Forest,
Lin was sitting alone by a stream, her delicate feet in the water, splashing occasionally, and staring blankly at some small stones under the stream.
"Iso Natumi... Do you think I should take this opportunity to confess to Feng Ye? It's not easy for the two of us to be out together for so long..."
"...”
Iso Natumi remained silent for a few seconds before replying, "I'm just a turtle."
Lin felt a little embarrassed when she heard this and kicked up some splashes. "Haven't you ever come across something you like? Other living beings?"
"Well, I like a white fish. It tastes pretty good."
Iso Natumi honestly replied.
Lin sighed.
It was not easy for her to be alone with Feng Ye, and she had hoped that something would happen. Unfortunately, Feng Ye had been focused solely on his cultivation, and she had been hesitating here, not daring to gather the courage to confess to him.
But before they went back, she had to try. She didn't want Yuhi Kurenai to take the lead, and this was a rare opportunity for the two of them to be alone.
Mainly...
Feng Ye was too outstanding.
Too many people liked him.
This gave her a great sense of crisis on one hand, and on the other hand, it made her hesitate a little, not daring to easily reveal her heart and confirm their relationship.
As she gazed at the water's surface in contemplation.
She suddenly noticed that some slugs crawling on the stalactites in front of her had suddenly stopped moving and raised their heads in the same direction.
"This is..."
Lin also soon felt that something was amiss.
Lin leaped up from the stream's edge and swiftly landed on a stalagmite, maneuvering through the stone forest with agility until she reached the spot where Feng Ye was cultivating.
There, she beheld Feng Ye's figure, his plain clothing now covered by a light golden Immortal Technique cloak, his entire being seemingly fused with nature, exuding a warm and radiant aura.
Lin stood there, transfixed.
Gazing at this new form of Feng Ye, she felt a momentary trance-like fascination.
And within the Wet Bone Forest, all the slugs seemed to share a similar thought—Feng Ye had developed a new Immortal Technique!
It wasn't the aura of Wet Bone Forest's Immortal Technique, nor was it the art of the other two grand holy lands, but it possessed the essence of the hermit modes of the three grand holy lands.
In other words...
Feng Ye had combined the Immortal Techniques of the three grand holy lands!
"He's merged the three grand Mystic Arts and created a new one... There's nothing he can't accomplish... Tsunade, your disciple is truly a genius..."
Some of the smaller slugs murmured softly.
All the slugs were one entity, with the smaller slugs serving as extensions of the main slug, referring to Tsunade as "Lady Tsunade," while the largest slug, the main body, called her "Little Tsunade."
At this moment, both the main slug and its smaller extensions were equally astonished by the shift in Feng Ye's aura. As an ancient being that had lived for over a thousand years, it understood Feng Ye's current state better than he did himself.
This was...
The embryonic form of the Six Paths Technique!
The Hermit Mode could inflict damage on the Six Paths Mode and harm the Six Paths Body. The Ten-Tails, being a near-infinite amalgamation of natural energy, served as the foundation for the Six Paths Mode. So, what distinguished the Hermit Mode from the Six Paths Mode?
The answer lay in two aspects.
First, the degree of perfection.
Second, the difference in quantity.
Whether it was the Immortal Techniques of Mount Myoboku, Wet Bone Forest, or Dragon Cave, they all had their flaws and imperfections. No matter how much one cultivated, a qualitative change couldn't be achieved.
However, Feng Ye's current state had reached a level of perfection almost equivalent to the Six Paths Mode. His entire being had seemingly merged with nature, and natural energy had permeated his cells, fusing with his physical body.
This process was called "Hermitification."
If Feng Ye could control and harness an even greater amount of ninja chakra and infuse it into his body at this moment, he would be able to continuously elevate his power until a quantitative change led to a qualitative transformation.
Therefore, referring to this state as a "perfect Hermit Mode" was somewhat inaccurate. A more fitting term would be—the most basic form of the Six Paths Mode.
It possessed only the outer shell.
Lacking a sufficiently powerful core.
...
About two months later...
Feng Ye had completed the initial tempering of his Hermit Body, achieving its preliminary completion.
Furthermore...
During the process of tempering his body, he had also opened the sixth gate of the Eight Inner Gates.
The cultivation of the Hermit Body involved the evolution of the physical form, while the Eight Inner Gates involved unleashing the latent power within the body in short bursts. These two paths were not mutually exclusive.
"It's about time to head back," Feng Ye breathed softly, clenching his fists.
If his previous ability to unleash a strike comparable to the full power of the Susanoo was dependent on the properties of the Kusanagi Sword, his current self had truly reached that level!
He was now just a step away from the Six Paths—
