The Chakra System! Then Change Your Cultivation System!

Zhang Chulan immediately spoke up:

"Brother Jiang, this Black Zetsu doesn't seem all that strong, right?"

Jiang Zhen chuckled lightly after hearing this, shaking his head and saying:

"Not all that strong? Even though this guy has no combat power himself, do you really think Madara could actually catch him? Is that possible?

Black Zetsu, after all, is a product of Kaguya Otsutsuki, even if she sealed away her two sons.

But still, this guy has lived for who knows how many years as an old monster.

Who knows what trump cards he has? In the end, it took Naruto using Six Paths-level power to condense something that sealed him.

So, if you want to truly catch him, you'd at least need Six Paths-level strength.

But then again, Madara, I actually think you could try another path!"

At these words, Madara frowned and said:

"What other path?"

Jiang Zhen smiled lightly and said: "Your chakra, the ninja way—to be honest, in my view, it's not strong enough.

The reason you have this kind of power, this level of strength, in my opinion, is inseparable from your world's rules.

Your world—calling it a world—if you really break it down, it should be called a Planar World.

It doesn't even count as a Minor Thousand World. If you took your power to other worlds, it would still have some effect, but it would be greatly weakened.

However, your world has one advantage: it has a decent amount of Spiritual Qi.

If I'm not mistaken, your world might have once been a Minor Thousand World with Spiritual Qi.

Otherwise, creatures like Summoning Beasts wouldn't have been born.

Your old rival Hashirama Senju's Sage Mode, and Naruto Uzumaki's Sage Mode—they both absorb natural energy.

But that energy, in my view, is actually the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth.

The way you use it, though, is to mix it into chakra to form a special Sage Mode.

Yet, what's interesting about this Sage Mode is that this power can break through the Yin-Yang Release formed by Six Paths mode.

And that giant tree also grows by devouring natural energy.

From this, it's clear that natural energy is actually a higher-level energy than chakra, even a bit stronger than Six Paths mode power."

Upon hearing this, Madara's eyes showed a hint of thoughtful realization, and he said:

"You want me to use this power?"

Jiang Zhen nodded and said: "Smart, that's exactly it. Among us, your strength isn't the lowest.

After being revived, you're only a bit stronger than Chulan and Ling Lianhua.

But that's only temporary, because your cultivation energy is somewhat low-level, even weak. And now those two have already started making continuous progress.

I estimate it won't be long before they completely surpass you.

As for Uncle Jiu, to be honest, he's an orthodox Daoist cultivator, training in Mana. If it weren't for his world entering the end of the Dharma era, he'd probably be a great master too.

And now that Uncle Jiu has obtained resources from the Chat Group, I can see his strength growing very fast."

Uncle Jiu smiled and said:

"Jiang Zhen, your eyesight is impressive. I just broke through, and you already noticed."

Zhang Chulan: "Uncle Jiu, you broke through?"

Uncle Jiu nodded with a smile and said: "I cultivate the most traditional path of cultivation.

Right now, I've reached the perfection of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation. I just need one opportunity to break through to Spirit Refining and Void Return."

At these words, Zhang Chulan showed a shocked expression. He knew the cultivation levels of this path.

Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation was already no small level of strength. The recorded stages of this path were: Essence Refining and Qi Transformation, Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation, Spirit Refining and Void Return, and Void Refining and Dao Unity—four distinct stages.

Beyond that were the legendary immortals. Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation was actually the beginning of training the spirit and soul.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chulan gave Uncle Jiu a thumbs up and said:

"Uncle Jiu, impressive!"

At this point, Jiang Zhen continued:

"In your world, ninjas—especially the Sage of Six Paths—are called immortals.

But in my view, at best, reaching Uncle Jiu's level of Spirit Refining and Void Return would be the ceiling.

Because Spirit Refining and Void Return is about cultivating the Primordial Spirit. And that Sage of Six Paths, in the end, could still leave behind residual souls and use some techniques.

Yet his strength isn't all that great, so I'm guessing he's probably a broken and incomplete Spirit Refining and Void Return.

His combat power might even be inferior to a perfect Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation existence.

So, your ninja system—it's better not to continue with it.

Moreover, the final stage of cultivation requires constantly using the natural power of other planets."

Swallowing fruits cultivated through special techniques—that's quite interesting, but it doesn't resemble orthodox cultivation methods.

Though in your world, it seems formidable, even touching upon so-called time and space.

However, that's only because the rules of your world are relatively easy to manipulate.

If you went to a place with slightly stronger rules and more robust rule power, your methods would be cut down by more than half in an instant.

So, my suggestion is to switch to cultivating that Sage Mode. Your world might have once had immortals, or else that term wouldn't exist.

But to cultivate it, you must devour Natural Energy, which is the Spiritual Qi of your world.

And right now, you're in a perfect position—since you no longer have Chakra, your soul can also absorb Natural Energy.

Moreover, when absorbing Natural Energy, don't mix in other impurities, or it will cause you problems.

Still, it's not a huge issue; our group does have some cultivation methods.

Simple cultivation methods can help you get started.

As for which one to choose, you can check the shop—just a basic Qi Cultivation Art will suffice."

Madara Uchiha listened, then looked at Jiang Zhen and said:

"Why are you telling me all this? According to what you've said, you should be an existence of terrifying power, far stronger than an ordinary immortal.

But why would you...?"

Jiang Zhen: "See the level of our group? To increase the group level, your strength needs to be sufficient.

And when the group level is high, we can contact people from those greater worlds, which have more resources.

As for me, I'm short on resources, and in the future, I'll face a major problem. So, I need all of you to grow stronger quickly within a thousand years.

At the very least, I need a medium-sized world to spawn—that would speed up my cultivation.

I don't want to die surrounded and killed by enemies in the future!"

Madara Uchiha nodded firmly upon hearing this and said:

"So that's how it is. In that case, count this as a favor from me, Madara Uchiha.

If a great war breaks out in the future, I can come and help you!"

Jiang Zhen stood and nodded after hearing that.

Then, Jiang Zhen turned his gaze to Hong Hong of Tushan, who said:

"I agree to the future matters, but I want to know how strong you really are.

Can you annihilate the creatures outside the circle in my world?"

Jiang Zhen touched his chin at this and said:

"The creatures outside the circle in your world? You don't want me to help you deal with those weird things, do you?"

Hong Hong of Tushan: "If possible, our Tushan can pay with money and resources!"

Jiang Zhen immediately shook his head and said:

"Honestly, I can't be sure about the creatures outside the circle in your world.

Though I know some things about your world, it's only a little.

Those creatures outside the circle in your world... uh... how should I put it? They're actually not from your world—they're things from beyond it.

As far as I know, your world originally gave birth to the Four Spirit Monkeys, who roamed freely between heaven and earth.

But those four couldn't stand loneliness, so they began to explore.

However, the eldest of the Four Spirit Monkeys was an existence with a unique talent.

His talent could break through spatial barriers, and once, in their exploration, they directly tore open the world barrier."

At these words, shock flashed in Hong Hong of Tushan's eyes.

"Could that be the origin of those creatures outside the circle?"
