Apart from Xin Ya, a large snake with a bad temper who could even argue with the White Snake Immortal, all other snakes, even the Ten Thousand Snakes, would give him some respect.
"Since you've already made preparations, I probably don't need to say anything more. After all, those three girls have already told you everything you need to know."
Clearly, the White Snake Immortal already knew Xia Yan's purpose in coming here.
After all, he had told Ichikishima-hime and the others about his purpose during halftime.
Even if the White Snake Immortal didn't pay attention, he knew everything that happened in Longdi Cave, big or small.
"Well, I'm ready."
Xia Yan nodded confidently.
Even a monster physique like Kabuto Yakushi's, with its haphazardly assembled and mixed cells, could withstand it, so there's no reason why his Sage Body, similar to Hashirama Senju's, couldn't.
"They're really quite confident..."
The White Snake Immortal looked Xia Yan up and down with the gaze of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, and then nodded in satisfaction.
"This vigorous vitality certainly suggests that a lot of preparations have been made."
"Your chakra reserves and physical strength far exceed the basic requirements. Perhaps you really can cultivate Sage Mode."
"However, just in case, we'll make an exception this time and inject you with natural energy at a slower pace."
"Otherwise, if you die at my hands, those three girls will probably cry and throw tantrums at me for decades..."
As he spoke, the White Snake Immortal's sharp fangs pierced into Xia Yan's body.
An energy that Xia Yan had never felt before, mixed with a peculiar substance, was slowly injected into his body.
Because of its slow speed, Xia Yan was able to clearly feel this energy.
At the same time, as if his eyes, which had been closed, had suddenly opened, Xia Yan could clearly feel the natural energy present around him.
Unlike chakra, which is generated by the combination of spiritual and physical energy, this energy is much more difficult to control.
However, this feeling did not feel unfamiliar to Xia Yan.
They were even very familiar with each other.
It seems somewhat like...
The Breathing Technique from the Demon Slayer world!?
As if by instinct, Xia Yan controlled the natural energy that was injected into his body by following the breathing technique to control "oxygen".
as predicted.
The previously unruly natural energy suddenly became docile, mixing with Xia Yan's chakra in a special ratio to form the unique Sage Chakra of Ryuchi Cave.
So that's how it is! So the "oxygen" that people inhale through breathing techniques in the Demon Slayer world is actually "natural energy"!
Xia Yan immediately realized what was going on.
He had been curious before about why the "oxygen" in the Demon Slayer world could enhance the human body to such an extent.
After all, oxygen exists in every world, but only in the Demon Slayer world does it have that magical effect.
It turns out that the reason is that the natural energy in the Demon Slayer world is exceptionally abundant, and it can enter the human body simply through breathing, so the Demon Slayer Corps members treated it as oxygen.
No wonder that after reaching the highest level of breathing techniques, markings appear on the body.
Isn't this just a kind of immortal mask in immortal mode?
This also explains why people with freckles rarely live past the age of twenty-five.
Without becoming a demon, humans in the Demon Slayer world cannot use spiritual energy.
Therefore, once the markings are activated, the only energy consumed is the body's energy, which represents vitality.
Once one's vitality is exhausted, one will naturally not live long.
Unexpectedly, learning Sage Mode actually helped me, the self from Demon Slayer, understand what breathing techniques really are all about.
Xia Yan found it quite amusing to himself.
However, he soon abandoned his research on breathing techniques.
Because at that very moment, the special substance that the White Snake Sage had injected into Xia Yan's body along with natural energy also took effect the instant the Sage Chakra appeared.
Chapter 154 Horns on its head, but no tail behind it
As if some kind of chemical reaction had occurred, the special substance injected into Xia Yan's body by the White Snake Immortal was transforming Xia Yan's body in a violent way.
Intense pain swept through Xia Yan's entire body.
He felt as if his body was melting.
Fortunately, Xia Yan's shared experiences from the world of demi-humans, the world of One Piece, and the world of Harry Potter have given him a very high tolerance for pain.
Despite the pain, he continued to manipulate natural energy and combine it with the chakra within his body, transforming it into Sage Chakra.
Soon, his skin turned white, like the scales of a white snake immortal, with a faint pattern and texture of scales emerging.
Two dragon horns grew on his head, and a pair of snake-like vertical pupils appeared in his white eyes, along with a cornea that he could control at will.
Ryuchi Cave Sage Mode, complete!
"This is……".
The White Snake Immortal's mouth was slightly open, and the pipe he was holding almost fell off.
Although she herself believed that Xia Yan had a high chance of mastering the Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave, the fact that you directly activated Perfect Sage Mode right from the start did indeed surprise her a bit.
But immediately, a human-like sense of relief appeared on the White Snake Immortal's snake face.
After all, Xia Yan is the son-in-law of Longdi Cave, so she has face when she brags to the other two old men because of his abilities.
"Is this the Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave...?"
Feeling the changes happening in his body, Xia Yan murmured to himself.
It must be said that Sage Mode, as the only cheat code in the Naruto world that transcends bloodline, is indeed quite special.
In this state, one can clearly feel an all-round improvement.
Strength, speed, defense, perception...
Unlike the forced enhancements brought about by using ninjutsu, secret medicines, or secret techniques.
It's as if growth is a natural consequence of a sublimation of one's life level.
Now Natsuhiko understands why Kabuto said he had transformed from a "snake" into a "dragon" after learning Ryuchi Cave's Sage Mode.
Unlike Mount Myōboku, which requires complete stillness to achieve harmony with nature before absorbing natural energy and synthesizing Sage Chakra to enter Sage Mode.
It's different from a half-baked approach, like charging.
After undergoing physical modifications, Ryuchi Cave's Sage Mode can automatically absorb surrounding natural energy, much like Jugo's Cursed Seal.
This allows one to achieve a state of freedom akin to that of an immortal.
However, in terms of training difficulty, the Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku is considered an extremely safe type, while the training method of Ryūchi Cave...
So to speak,
Even Orochimaru almost died, which forced him to abandon learning the Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave and instead focus on researching the Cursed Seal.
Even the White Snake Sage himself said that those who came to Ryuchi Cave to learn Sage Mode were all madmen who would do anything for power.
"Mmm↗Mmm↘!"
"This feeling is so wonderful, so wonderful that I want to burst into song!"
As if by instinct, Xia Yan, having entered Sage Mode, floated up without any support, revealing a smug and ugly face on his face.
"Even when my Byakugan evolved to a higher level, I've never felt this pleasant and comfortable, hmph hmph hmph..."
This wonderfully comfortable feeling made Xia Yan feel like his brain was boiling.
I wish I could stick my fingers into my brain and stir it up to cool it down.
"The Sage Mode in Ryuchi Cave is just perfect!"
"Saigoni High Iron Duck..."
thump—
Before Xia Yan could finish his lines, a pipe bigger than his pouch suddenly slammed him down from mid-air, silencing him.
The White Snake Immortal glanced at him with a look of pity for the mentally challenged, then took a puff of his pipe with a hint of melancholy.
"Kid! Once you've learned Sage Mode, go learn Sage Techniques from those three girls, don't try to establish laws here!"
"understood……"
After being hit by a Clarity Spell (physical version), the feeling of excitement that made my brain boil disappeared.
Xia Yan rubbed the large bump on his head, gave an embarrassed smile, and ran to his wife for comfort.
Let's leave aside Hokage Natsuhiko, who has entered a state of training.
……
Meanwhile, in the world of demi-humans.
"They're really tied up tightly..."
Feeling his body completely bound, just like the ancient Egyptian Mu's grandmother, Xia Yan said with some emotion.
As planned, after JOJO Natsuhiko shared his ability to ascend to Heaven, the Ajin Natsuhiko could no longer suppress the boiling hatred in his heart and eagerly returned to his own world.
Although only a moment had passed in the real world, he had been in the [Xia Yan Mutual Aid Space] for who knows how long.
Suddenly being back in reality felt slightly strange.
However, since the feeling of entering the space is the same as that of the real world, this feeling only lasted for a few seconds before disappearing as if it were half an illusion.
"Doctor! The test subject's vital signs have suddenly started to spike abnormally!? It seems like there's a problem with the equipment!?"
"Huh? Everything was perfectly normal just now. Could it be a drug reaction?"
"No, doctor, the experimental subjects' physical data have already far exceeded the limits of humanity. It shouldn't be an effect that drugs can achieve."
"Hmm... that's really true. Maybe we've stumbled upon the Super Soldier Serum by accident. Hahaha..."
