Chapter 546: Giving Away a Sacred Site to Outsiders: A Sinful Act!
Sky Tower!
This was Tang Ping's masterpiece.
Without imagination, knowledge, skills, and the terrifying construction capabilities and resources, it would never have been possible.
It could be said that this was a miraculous creation that only he could achieve.
So when Uchiha Meika asked about it, he was naturally eager to showcase it.
"It's still in the initial stages. The efficiency of collecting, transforming, and bestowing faith is only about one-thousandth, and the effective range is only a few thousand kilometers, barely covering the Land of the Wind and the Heavenly Castle area!"
"With continued investment, all aspects will improve!"
"With the Sky Tower, the growth rate of Soup Valley will skyrocket!"
"And there's also a new energy system!"
"For example, the sorcery of the miko can be bestowed by the Sky Tower!"
"The more devout the faith and the greater the contribution, the more benefits one can receive, such as maintaining youthful appearances... and so on!"
...
Tang Ping combined his imagination with the technology and knowledge of the Ninja World, creating an entirely new Extraordinary System.
The key point was that this system bypassed Chakra, which meant it also circumvented the restrictions of the Great Tree Clan.
You may not need this, but you can't do without it.
With the blessings of faith energy and natural energy, maintaining youthful appearances was just the tip of the iceberg.
Natural energy inherently had these effects, and they were incredibly powerful. Just look at how long the outsiders in the Three Sacred Sites lived.
Even Tang Ping himself seemed to have reversed his aging, appearing younger than Kakashi's generation.
But this was actually the effect of life enhancement.
Under the influence of natural energy, maintaining a youthful appearance was truly insignificant.
Both the Heavenly Seal and Nature Power had these effects, especially the Extraordinary Organ, which was even more potent. After all, the primary function of the Extraordinary Organ was to help individuals adapt to natural energy.
That's why Hyuga Cangyue and Uchiha Meika remained so calm.
If they hadn't received these benefits, they would have already grabbed Tang Ping by the neck and forced him to act.
After Tang Ping finished explaining the series of benefits brought by the Sky Tower, he suddenly sensed an awkward atmosphere around him.
At that moment, the two women were staring at the Sky Tower with fervent eyes, as if they wanted to devour it.
There was no choice; the effects of this object were simply too incredible.
It could not only collect and transform faith over a large area into a usable Extraordinary Energy, but it can also bestow this energy along with Natural Energy to the faithful."
It was like a Holy Artifact! How could such a miraculous object not leave them in awe and desire?
If they had one... just thinking about it excited them.
"Don't even think about it," Tang Ping quickly dismissed their idea. "This object was made possible by the special nature of Soup Valley as a Sacred Site. It couldn't be built just anywhere."
"Is that so...?" Uchiha Meika felt a tinge of regret.
Indeed, having only one such object was a bit of a pity.
"Wait!" Hyuga Cangyue's eyes flashed with a glimmer of insight as she asked, "Could it be built in the Three Sacred Sites?"
She had discovered the blind spot!
The prerequisite for constructing the Sky Tower was a 'Sacred Site,' but it didn't have to be specifically Soup Valley, right?
"It's possible, but do you think they would agree?" Tang Ping shrugged helplessly.
While the Sky Tower could greatly benefit a Sacred Site, it could also seize control.
Soup Valley belonged to Tang Ping, so there was no issue. The Three Sacred Sites, even with their limited intelligence, would never agree.
"Not necessarily!" Uchiha Meika's pink eyes gleamed with murderous intent.
The Three Sacred Sites were destined to be their adversaries. Aside from the Slippery Forest, which might not take action, the Dragon Earth Cave and Sage Mountain would undoubtedly be destroyed.
Once those toads and snakes were dealt with, the Sacred Sites would be theirs.
With that thought, she and Hyuga Cangyue exchanged a glance, nodding in silent agreement.
The Sacred Sites were theirs for the taking.
This precious thing is for the virtuous to possess, and the Heaven's Castle is the very embodiment of virtue.
"Isn't it a waste for such a good thing to be given to those monsters?" asked Hyuga Cangyue, referring to the Sacred Sites.
Cangyue was even more radical, directly considering the Three Sacred Sites as her own, and she was extremely dissatisfied with the fact that those outsiders occupied the Sacred Sites.
Well... As for these two, with their mindset of 'good things should be ours,' Yaogao simply expressed, "I'm glad you feel that way."
In the short term, the Heaven's Castle couldn't afford to build a second Sky Tower either.
The current Sky Tower was only in its initial stage. If they wanted to complete it thoroughly, it would take several years and a significant investment.
Even in the Water Country, they could only manage the area within a few hundred kilometers for the time being.
Compared to occupying the Water Country, the Sky Tower had a higher priority.
"Alright, let's begin!"
Yaogao stopped the two from further discussion, fearing that their words would lead to action against the Three Sacred Sites.
Although he had similar thoughts, he would never act recklessly without sufficient strength.
Hearing this, the two women stopped talking, but they had already made up their minds. If the opportunity arose, they would take action.
With the completion of the Sky Tower, the plan would naturally commence.
Yaogao led the two women towards the Fusang Tree.
Soup Valley!
This valley, located deep in the desert of the Land of Wind, was now completely different from before.
When the wind and sand reached this area, they seemed to stagnate, leaving behind only lush greenery instead of the usual yellow sand.
Layer upon layer of knee-high green grass had turned the valley into a sea of green.
At the same time, the sunlight was no longer blinding.
The sunlight that shone down was completely blocked by the Fusang Tree, which had already grown to a height of several hundred meters, resembling a mythical creation.
Without the sunlight, the Soup Valley felt cool and serene.
Whoosh!
From a distance, they could hear the sound of liquid flowing in the 'Hot Spring' formed by the intertwined tree roots.
After such a long time, the amount of hot springs was far from comparable to the scale of Sage Mountain, where they formed waterfalls. However, creating streams encircling the tree was not an issue.
Don't think that there's too much hot spring water! If you want to use it, you might find it insufficient.
For example, to make a crow grow to the level of the Toad Brothers, it would require consuming a fraction of the hot spring water. If it were for Deepa or Shimasu, two Sage-level individuals, it might take all the hot spring water to have a chance, and even then, the target would need to have sufficient aptitude."
Only liquid-form natural energy could be stored and used; gaseous energy had extremely low efficiency.
"Are these the hot springs?" asked Uchiha Meika, gazing at the clear green spring water flowing in a small stream about a meter wide.
Her tone held a hint of awe, as she knew just how precious this substance was.
Don't be fooled by its abundance here; in the outside world, it was impossible to find.
Only in the Sacred Sites could natural energy be transformed into a liquid state.
This was also the reason why the Three Sacred Sites could monopolize the Sage Mode.
Of course, exceptional individuals like Senju Asuma were a different story.
"Hmm," Yaogao replied, releasing his Transformation Technique.
Yes, he had indeed transformed, explaining his sudden 'reverse growth.'
Returning to his true form, he appeared to be in his twenties, incredibly youthful.
"Tsk, you've really turned into a kid again!" Uchiha Meika complained.
She was already older than Yaogao, and now her fiance had aged backward by a few years. Standing together, they looked like an old cow eating young grass.
Fortunately, Meika also possessed the Extraordinary Organ, and under the influence of natural energy, her appearance would also reverse-age. Otherwise, she might have killed Yaogao out of jealousy.
"Rest assured, once I advance to the Sage Body, I'll grow normally again!" Yaogao reassured her as he slowly laid down in the hot spring pool.
It was a gamble, but he had insurance, so there was no need for concern.
Numerous barriers centered around the hot spring pool were ready to be activated once the plan commenced.
The water in the hot spring pool was filled with natural energy, so breathing wasn't an issue. Instead, faith energy was needed to neutralize and balance the natural energy; otherwise, he might truly become a 'vegetable.'
