Chapter 76: New Holy Land: Tang Valley!
Chapter 76: New Holy Land: Tang Valley!
The Hashirama Cells!
Yes, Tang Ping was holding them in his hand.
Of course, they weren't for himself.
He wasn't that reckless; they were for the Fuxiang Tree.
Hashirama Cells, representing an immense vitality, were extremely difficult for organic beings to digest, but for the Fuxiang Tree, it was a matter of consuming as much as it could.
However, before using the Hashirama Cells, he needed to inject a special potion he had prepared in advance.
This potion would enhance the Fuxiang Tree's ability to absorb heat.
Of course, it required Tang Ping's blood to activate; otherwise, it would be useless and even the most deadly poison.
The Fuxiang Tree had evolved from an ordinary mulberry tree through Tang Ping's continuous and directed cultivation.
Even if others knew the method, they couldn't succeed without his blood.
The more abilities and the stronger they were, the more energy was required for growth, which was why the tree had only grown a few meters so far.
But now, everything was about to change.
With the Hashirama Cells, a source of energy comparable to a nuclear power plant, there was no need to worry about energy deficiency.
He cut a small opening in the tree's trunk, inserted the majority of the Hashirama Cells he had obtained from the root base, and carefully sealed it with the tree bark.
Once done, Tang Ping climbed out of the sand pit.
From the experimental data obtained at the root base, the Hashirama Cells had an even better effect on plants, though they would eventually cause the plant to burst from the sheer volume of energy.
But the Fuxiang Tree had nothing to fear.
Under the watchful eyes of Tang Ping and the crow, the transformation began.
Rustle, rustle!
The newly planted Fuxiang Tree started to sway without any wind.
Upon closer inspection, it was growing at a visible rate.
Yes, it worked!
Now, he just needed to wait for the Fuxiang Tree to digest the Hashirama Cells.
Don't underestimate the fact that it was only a portion of the cells.
Tobirama had spent countless hours and resources to cultivate so many, and the amount of nutrient solution used could be measured in hundreds of barrels.
This chunk of Hashirama Cells, containing an astonishing amount of energy, was sure to have a remarkable effect.
"Let me know if anything goes wrong!"
After instructing Taiyi, Tang Ping dug a sand pit a few meters away, lay down, and wrapped himself in his cloak to rest.
Surviving in the wild was a mandatory course at the Ninja Academy.
He had been busy lately and needed some rest.
With Taiyi by his side, he didn't have to worry about any unexpected incidents.
Though the crow couldn't speak, it was a summoning beast with high intelligence, which is why Tang Ping felt safe enough to rest.
The next day!
After enjoying a 'sand bath,' Tang Ping slowly woke up.
"Huh?"
He noticed something was off.
Sunlight!
Why wasn't sunlight shining on his face?
He opened his eyes.
All he saw were lush, green leaves, with occasional specks of golden light filtering through, creating a beautiful scene.
Leaves?
Thinking about it, Tang Ping glanced at the sand pit beside him.
What he saw was a massive tree with deep, intertwining roots and a thick, robust trunk, its canopy spreading like an umbrella.
He realized he was lying in the shade of the tree, which explained the lack of sunlight on his face.
In just one night!
The Fuxiang Tree, which had been only a few meters tall and about the thickness of an arm, had transformed into a colossal being.
It was at least several meters thick and dozens of meters tall, not a bit smaller than the two intertwined mulberry trees in Konoha.
Moreover!
A rich and fresh aura permeated the air.
Natural energy!
This was the key.
No wonder Taiyi was basking contentedly on the tree, with no intention of moving.
Additionally, in a bathtub-sized depression at the tree's roots, a shallow layer of liquid had formed.
Liquefied natural energy!
Though it couldn't compare to the toad oil waterfall at Mount Myoboku, his newly created holy land was just getting started.
Rewritten Text
Why are the Three Great Sacred Territories called 'Sacred Territories'?
Isn't it because they possess Sage Techniques?
Now, with the liquefied natural energy, Tang Ping has the qualifications to master Sage Techniques and establish a new 'Sacred Territory.'
Of course, his Sacred Territory will be taking food from the mouths of the Three Great Sacred Territories (stealing natural energy). This means they can never be friends; they will only be enemies.
It's like an original market with only three foreign companies, and now a fourth one has arrived, and it's a 'domestic (human)' company. The Three Great Sacred Territories would be outraged if they had no objections.
Hmm... perhaps the Stagnant Blood Forest wouldn't care.
The Sage of Slugs has an incredibly laid-back personality and wouldn't mind these things.
However, Myoboku Mountain and Dragon's Pool Cave will definitely see him as a mortal enemy.
Therefore, at this stage, he must absolutely keep the information about Tono Valley a secret. If it were to be exposed, the two great Sacred Territories would undoubtedly do everything in their power to destroy it.
The risk is indeed significant.
But the benefits are even greater.
With such a Sacred Territory, he can cultivate powerful individuals who can enter Sage Mode.
The Three Great Sacred Territories have various tests and restrictions for their contract holders, but on Tang Ping's side, as long as someone is trustworthy and has the talent, they will have the opportunity to try.
This alone is enough to drive people mad, as Sage Mode represents the starting point of Shadow Leader-level power, with an extremely high upper limit.
Not to mention the other benefits that come with the abundance of natural energy.
Sacred Territory!
The advantages are multifaceted.
Carefully putting away the liquid he had named 'Hot Spring' in his mind, Tang Ping did not rashly attempt to sense the natural energy.
It wasn't the right time yet.
To master Sage Mode, the most important conditions are a vast amount of chakra, the ability to sense natural energy, and strong chakra control.
Currently, he only meets the condition of sensing natural energy due to his prior preparation.
Aside from this, neither his chakra nor control abilities have met the standards.
But that was fine.
He already had the key to Sage Mode, and it was only a matter of time before he mastered it.
Fishing was how Tang Ping had been preparing for Sage Mode, which involved enhancing his sensing abilities.
Sitting on a wooden plank atop a stone pillar, like a certain 'Naruto,' doesn't have the same effect as fishing. Fishing is both entertaining and helps calm the mind.
His chakra reserves were currently just a bit over 'one card,' which wasn't much.
But he could cheat!
Whether by injecting Hashirama cells or using the Natural Energy Elixir again, he could boost his chakra significantly.
The remaining aspect was 'chakra control.'
This could only be improved through practice, with no shortcuts, which is why it wasn't the right time yet.
"Next, I'll prepare a new Natural Energy Elixir, inject Hashirama cells, and then go to the Land of Rivers to digest the effects. This will give me the time to practice my chakra control!"
Tang Ping carefully planned his next steps in his mind.
Everything was for the sake of Sage Mode.
Since he couldn't lie back and relax, he had to do everything in his power to gain the strength to protect himself.
Otherwise, he wouldn't just be lying back; he'd be lying down, dead.
Although Taichi was somewhat reluctant to leave Tono Valley, this place that made it so comfortable, it had to follow its master's orders and send Tang Ping back to the Land of Fire with the 'Natural Energy Materials.'
Upon returning to the Land of Fire, Tang Ping used his 'fiancee's' channels to find a place to refine the two elixirs.
Natural Energy Elixir!
Hashirama Cells!
The former was made using the branches, blood, and auxiliary materials of the new Fuji tree, while the latter only changed the main material, keeping everything else the same.
He kept a small amount of active Hashirama cells for future cultivation.
A divine tool couldn't be a one-time use item.
It could be harvested like a scallion, steadily and reliably.
Next came the time to take the elixirs.
I, Uchiha Tang Ping, have not cheated. Everything I have achieved is through my own efforts.
Elixir, injection.
