Chapter 549: Promotion to the Celestial Body!
Chapter 549: Promotion to the Celestial Body!
Body!
Something's not right.
It's not that the Celestial Body is faulty, but rather, his appearance has undergone a significant transformation.
He can clearly see his new form from the surface of the water.
(Except for his eyes being black, everything else is like this!) His hands and feet are fair and petite, and his face is delicate and handsome.
One's fair skin can cover a hundred flaws, let alone the fact that he isn't even ugly! Combined with his 'Celestial Aura', he can now be considered a top-tier beauty, even surpassing the good-looking Uchiha clan.
Damn! This is too much of a pitfall.
Tang Ping can't help but feel a mix of laughter and tears.
Although he doesn't pay much attention to his appearance, after all, even if he's handsome, what difference would it make? The average reader of the original novel could easily surpass him.
The issue is, aside from becoming more handsome, why has he become smaller?
At this moment, even if he wanted to infiltrate the Ninja Academy, it wouldn't be a problem.
However, he doesn't mind the change in his appearance, as he doesn't rely on his looks to make a living.
What's important is the 'Celestial Body'. With this body, his chakra has increased to at least a hundred 'Chakra Cards' as a starting point.
Note that a hundred cards is not the limit of the Celestial Body, but rather his current limit.
This body has regressed to the 'Juvenile Stage', which means that in the upcoming period of rapid growth, his chakra will increase exponentially.
In a few more years, when the Celestial Body matures, his chakra will have a minimum starting point of a hundred cards, barely qualifying him as a 'Chakra Tonner'.
As for now, it's at most around 'Chakra Jinla'.
With a hundred cards, his chakra is no less than that of a typical large summoning beast.
This data doesn't sound exaggerated.
But just by looking at the difference in size of both parties, one can understand how heaven-defying it is.
Of course, chakra is just a side benefit.
The key is the control over Natural Energy, which has become completely instinctual.
Even if he hasn't reached the level of Asura, where a simple clap can activate the Sage Mode, Tang Ping feels that it won't take more than ten seconds.
Nonsense, the Celestial Body of the original only had shortcomings in terms of lifespan and nourishment, but with the blessing of Asura's Chakra, it's even more heaven-defying than a true Celestial Body in other aspects.
Moreover, as long as Tang Ping continues to familiarize himself with the Sage Mode, the time it takes to enter it can be further compressed, and it's not impossible for him to practice until he can activate it instantly.
Furthermore, his Yang Release, with the Celestial Body, his progress is frighteningly fast. It has advanced from a beginner level to a proficient level.
Hmm, the advancement in Yang Release not only makes his body more vigorous, resilient, but also allows him to integrate it with other Jutsu.
For instance, Melt Release!
There has been a significant change.
A qualitative leap!
Now, Tang Ping can confidently say that he has entered the 'Hyper Shadow Rank', even as a gatekeeper of this rank, there's a qualitative difference compared to before.
If he adds his Extraordinary Organ, which is still under development, going head-to-head with Asura is not just a dream.
Hmm... but thinking about winning is still too early.
At the very least, he needs to develop powerful Sage Jutsu and abilities, and wait until his body reaches its peak condition.
The Celestial Body has just been acquired, and it hasn't entered its peak period yet.
Moreover, his Celestial Body is linked to the Tanggu, and as Tanggu prospers, so does the Celestial Body.
One could say that when fighting in a place like Tanggu, his Natural Energy is virtually limitless, at least until the hot springs run dry.
Now, he truly understands the difficulty of attacking a Sacred Site.
Fighting on home turf, it's as if his Natural Energy is inexhaustible.
The only limit to his output might be himself.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Tang Ping discovers something amiss.
The surroundings... how have they changed so drastically?
Yes, he has just realized a fact that shocks him.
The changes are too great! Aside from the hot springs, which have grown several times larger, originally only the size of a small pool, now at least the size of a small lake, and the depth has increased significantly, accommodating ten times more hot springs than before.
It's not easy to accumulate hot springs, and it took over a decade to gather the previous pool, now has ten times more, which is quite shocking.
The change in the hot springs alone is astonishing, not to mention the Paulownia tree.
It has grown several times larger, now reaching a height of several hundred meters, and the canopy covers a much larger area.
Half of Tanggu is now shaded by the tree.
You should know that Soup Valley is almost several kilometers wide and over ten kilometers long. Such a vast valley has nearly half of its area shrouded, which is downright terrifying.
Croak!
And the trees are densely packed with countless crows, their numbers having increased exponentially compared to before.
The crucial point is that these crows are not ordinary in size or aura.
One can easily spot crows larger than elephants, and even more terrifying presences within the treetops.
Even those comparable to the Toad Brothers are not just one or two, and there is an incredibly powerful presence at the top of the tree that surprises even the current Ta Yi.
Ta Yi!
At this moment, it can undoubtedly be called a 'Crow Sage.'
At the very least, it has reached the level of Fukasaku, Shima, and the Three Snake Princesses, undergoing a revolutionary transformation.
The changes in Soup Valley are so significant that the Sky Tower at the valley entrance has undergone even more exaggerated transformations.
It is now taller and thicker than before, shimmering with golden light like a golden spear that pierces through the clouds.
Hmm, if there were clouds in the desert sky.
According to Tang Ping's estimation, this state should be the third stage.
But to reach this stage, even with the presence of a wailou, it wouldn't be achievable in just a year or two.
Time!
Yes, Tang Ping has now become aware of this critical issue.
How long has he been in hibernation?
According to the original plan, he would hibernate for at most a year or two, which would be enough to successfully ascend to the Celestial Body or fail.
But judging from these changes, the duration of his hibernation has far exceeded his imagination.
What worries him the most is that the Fourth Shinobi World War has already ended.
If he had known this while lying down, he would have laughed out loud.
But now that he has stood up! If he misses this opportunity, there won't be another chance to deal with the Great Tree Family and reshuffle the cards.
In other words, if he misses the Fourth Shinobi World War, the Shinobi World will remain a playground for the Great Tree Clan, and there will be no chance for him to turn things around.
Under these circumstances, how could he not be concerned?
Fortunately, he still has 'someone' to turn to.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Tang Ping, dragging his oversized clothing, rushed towards the treetop.
Yes, there's Ta Yi!
As his summoning beast and now having reached the 'Sage' level, it's impossible for it not to be able to speak, right?
The several hundred-meter-tall Paulownia tree is as tall as a mountain, and countless crows inhabit it.
No, that's not right!
These can no longer be called crows.
They are transforming into 'Golden Crows.'
Under the influence of Natural Energy and Chakra, these crows are evolving into the 'Three-Legged Golden Crow' species.
Don't think it's impossible.
Chakra and Natural Energy are extraordinary energies, so it's not surprising for such a situation to occur.
Croak, croak!
The crows' cries resounded.
However, they weren't warnings but expressions of submission and tameness.
After all, Tang Ping carries the aura of Soup Valley, and from this, one can discern that he is the master of Soup Valley.
His status is akin to that of the 'Three Great Sages' of the Three Sacred Sites.
Soon, he arrived at the top of the Paulownia tree.
An incredibly hot temperature, like a storm, gathered and then vanished into the enormous nest at the treetop.
Yes, at the top of the umbrella-shaped treetop, there was an astonishingly large nest.
Ta Yi!
It lived right here.
Countless light and heat were absorbed by Ta Yi within the nest.
And at this moment, Ta Yi had also undergone significant changes compared to its initial appearance.
The crown-like feathers on its head, three crow-like legs, and the shadowy golden wings further emphasized its extraordinary nature.
The most crucial part is its body! It's grown even larger!
The biggest difference between this 'Crow Sage' and the small-bodied Sages of the Three Sacred Sites might be its size.
Whether it's Fukasaku, Shima, or the three Snake Princesses in Dragon Hole Cave, their bodies aren't particularly large.
But the reason for their small size is consumption.
Maintaining a Celestial Body requires consumption! If a giant Celestial Body is maintained, the consumption would be dozens or even hundreds of times greater than a small-bodied one.
In a sense, they chose to reduce their size to lower consumption.
As a new Sacred Site, Soup Valley doesn't need to support too many summoned beasts, so it can afford the consumption of Ta Yi.
Tang Ping's arrival startled Ta Yi, who was curled up in the nest, causing it to slowly open its shadowy golden eyes.
