Chapter 430: A Higher Realm
Chapter 430: A Higher Realm
In the Land of Waves.
After leaving the Daimyo's mansion, Fengye made his way to the mountains not far from the capital.
Robin and Hinata followed, accompanied by Hinata's samurai bodyguard, although this protection was mostly symbolic.
When they reached a spacious area, Fengye brought his hands together and closed his eyes slightly, stimulating the power of the Shinju within him. Soon, a substance like a white dough squirmed in his palm.
Zizi!!
It was a mass that squirmed like White Zetsu's Spore Technique, but in reality, it was a completely different concept.
The white dough squirmed and eventually transformed into a strange fruit, like a blue pineapple.
This was a part of the Ten-Tails' Shinju power that Fengye had divided from his body, condensed into a seed form.
Pa-tong!
As Fengye released his hand, the Shinju seed fell to the ground and immediately drilled into it.
Rumble!!!
The entire earth began to shake violently, cracking inch by inch from where the seed had fallen.
A dark tree drilled out and shot upwards. It was tree-like in form but extremely bizarre.
"Step back."
Fengye grabbed Hinata and Robin, one on each side, and retreated, giving the Shinju room to grow.
Soon, the planted Shinju grew to a height of several dozen meters, becoming a towering giant tree, standing tall.
Of course.
This was much smaller than the complete state of the Shinju; it was merely a seedling now.
"From now on, the Land of Waves will abolish capital punishment and seppuku. All those sentenced to death or life imprisonment will be brought here to come into contact with this Shinju."
Fengye, looking at the growing Shinju, spoke to the samurai escorting Hinata.
The Shinju's nourishment came partly from the earth but mostly from humans.
The samurai was slightly startled but immediately complied.
The current Daimyo, Hinata Hyuga, was still young, and Fengye's status in the Land of Waves surpassed even that of the Daimyo. Changing the punishment system was a significant measure, but Fengye indeed had the authority to do so.
...
The planting of the Shinju had an immense impact on the Land of Waves within just over a year.
The revision of capital punishment and life imprisonment to relocation near the Shinju caused little reaction, but the true game-changer was the birth of the Shinju, which also brought about the split of chakra!
With Fengye's permission, humans who came into contact with the Shinju would have a chakra seed born within them.
After that, they could cultivate chakra.
And their descendants would be able to cultivate chakra without touching the Shinju, as the chakra seed would be passed down through their bloodline.
By granting others the ability to cultivate chakra and then reclaiming the cultivated chakra upon their death, the Shinju used this nourishment to grow continuously.
As for those sentenced to death or life imprisonment, they would be directly entangled and imprisoned by the Shinju, cultivated like White Zetsu, their bodies used as vessels from which chakra would be endlessly cultivated and extracted.
Since the Land of Waves was a large island with a vast population, not much smaller than one of the great nations in the ninja world, the Shinju grew significantly within just over a year.
It would take a long time for the condensed fruit of the Shinju to mature, but by spreading the tree's power, there was still hope to obtain a ripe fruit within twenty years.
A mature and intact Shinju fruit contained power comparable to half that of the great Hagoromo Otsutsuki.
If a member of the Otsutsuki clan, who already possessed the second or third stage of the Rikudo, were to consume the fruit, they would reach the fourth stage of the Rikudo.
Feng Ye was currently at the fifth stage of the Rikudo.
However, after cultivating the power system from the world of One Piece, his strength was no longer limited to the fifth stage, and he could almost reach the sixth stage.
In fact, using the term "Rikudo" to describe the higher levels of power was becoming somewhat inadequate. Feng Ye felt that a more descriptive power grading system could replace the more advanced levels.
The fifth stage of the Rikudo roughly corresponded to the power to destroy a 'planet' with a single blow—the world of Naruto.
The sixth stage should be the power to destroy a planet ten times the size of Earth, which was the world of One Piece.
Moving on,
the next stage was Solar.
This was the stage of harnessing the power equivalent to a star, and the power attained by Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni, the captain-commander of the Gotei 13 in the Bleach world, after achieving his Bankai.
The next stage entailed the ability to destroy a galaxy, akin to the Super Saiyan 3 level in the Dragon Ball universe. Then came the power to destroy a galaxy cluster, approximately equivalent to the Super Saiyan levels from Super Red to Super Blue.
Finally,
there was the level of the Destroyers from the Dragon Ball universe, beings who could annihilate the universe with their full combat power. This level far surpassed Feng Ye's current strength, as even the aftermath of their battles could obliterate him.
As for the Grand Priest and the Omni-Kings, they were beyond Feng Ye's considerations. Their power to erase entire universes with a mere snap of their fingers was at an incomprehensible height.
In other words,
Feng Ye had six more levels to ascend.
According to their destructive power, these levels corresponded to destroying large planets, stars, galaxies, galaxy clusters, and the entire universe, as well as the incomprehensible power of the Omni-Kings.
Feng Ye had essentially achieved the ability to destroy large planets, but if we were to strictly judge by the standard of 'destroying it with a single blow,' it would still be somewhat challenging for him to shatter the One Piece world in one hit.
Once his swordsmanship reached the level of a Grand Sword Master, he should be able to effortlessly cleave a world in two with a single sword strike.
It is worth mentioning that while Feng Ye spread chakra and ninjutsu in the Land of Wano, he also gained a great deal of knowledge about swordsmanship.
After all, this was the pinnacle of the world's craftsmanship, the birthplace of the unparalleled Nidai Kitetsu and Kitetsu swords, among others.
As the nation that forged almost all the famous blades in the world, it naturally possessed a wealth of knowledge about swordsmanship. Although knowledge did not equate to absolute power, and despite the fact that the entire Land of Wano could not produce a Grand Sword Master at present, they still had extensive records of that level.
With this knowledge,
Feng Ye had essentially reached the threshold of that level.
