Supreme Sage Body

At the center of the Immortal Spring in the Shikkotsu Forest, sat over a thousand Shadow Clone, all of them shirtless, cultivating in the center of the Immortal Spring.

Qingcheng also put all his Shadow Clone into Sage Mode; looking around, the faces of these Shadow Clones were covered in black Senjutsu patterns.

These Shadow Clone sat neatly in the center of the Immortal Spring, receiving the tempering of its Natural Energy. The lush Immortal Spring center of the Immortal Spring was filled with surging, deadly Immortal Spring energy, and these Shadow Clone used this spring water to hone their bodies.

Meanwhile, Qingcheng's true form had already entered the Immortal Spring's source, allowing the surging, explosive Natural Energy to temper his body. Because his entire body was at the center of the spring, the corrosive Natural Energy constantly devoured Qingcheng's body.

Qingcheng gritted his teeth and frantically circulated his Wood Release Chakra to repair his body, thus calmly dealing with these massive and deadly Natural Energy.

Qingcheng, having cultivated in the Immortal Spring for half a year, has raised his Chakra reserves to the Pseudo-Six Paths Level. Although it's only the initial level, this amount of Chakra is more than three times stronger than that of Super Kage Level being.

Therefore, Qingcheng directly created over a thousand Shadow Clone to cultivate the Sage Mode together, thereby enhancing his Sage Body.

Qingcheng was also waiting for a burst of explosive energy, waiting for these Shadow Clones to fully refine their Senjutsu Chakra before releasing all the Shadow Clone at once.

He would allow all the Senjutsu Chakra stored in his Shadow Clone to return to his own body, and then use this enormous amount of Senjutsu Chakra to enhance his Sage Body, breaking through to the Supreme Sage Body in one fell swoop.

During this time, Qingcheng also cultivated a top-tier killing technique, Ninjutsu comparable to Yin-Yang Release, called Sage Art: Gate of the Great God.

The most powerful aspect of this Sage Art is not only its ability to seal an opponent's Chakra, but also their will. Once struck by the Wood God Gate, unless one is the Jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails, everyone else will lose their will and fall into a semi-conscious state.

When Qingcheng's Shadow Clone were all filled with Senjutsu Chakra, they opened their eyes and then turned into wisps of white smoke.

Bang bang bang, bang bang bang! More than 1,500 Shadow Clone vanished directly from the center of the Immortal Spring, turning into large amounts of white smoke.

The Senjutsu Chakra of these Shadow Clone then traveled through the air and returned directly to Qingcheng's body.

As over a thousand streams of pure Senjutsu Chakra surged into Qingcheng's body like a tidal wave, in an instant...

Qingcheng felt like a sponge absorbing water, being filled with a large amount of Senjutsu Chakra; his body began to expand like a balloon.

His body emitted a blue light, a dazzling glow caused by Senjutsu Chakra frantically gathering around Qingcheng. This immense amount of Natural Energy nearly caused Qingcheng to explode and die.

Qingcheng, gritting his teeth and writhing in pain, was covered in cold sweat as he desperately circulated his Senjutsu Chakra to digest the immense Natural Energy, enduring the tearing sensation in his body.

Qingcheng, his face flushed, forced himself to endure the intense Natural Energy and shouted:

"By digesting this powerful wave of Natural Energy, I can awaken the Supreme Sage Body. I, Uchiha Qingcheng, have done it too, mai!"

After about ten minutes, Qingcheng felt the Senjutsu Chakra within his body gradually stabilize. And through this suicidal training, Qingcheng's Sage Body finally blossomed and bore fruit, becoming Supreme Sage Body.

When Qingcheng felt this immense life energy, he was overjoyed and burst into laughter, shouting excitedly, "This feeling is simply amazing! It's better than ever before! Haha!"

The little Katsuyu beside the Immortal Spring, watching the blue light rising from the bottom of the Immortal Spring, said excitedly:

"Lord Qingcheng, I'm so happy for you that you've succeeded in your cultivation. Your Sage Body is exactly the same as Lord Hashirama's. You won't need to come to the Shikkotsu Forest anymore."

Qingcheng leaped from the center of the spring, landing directly on the ground. He took out the Fifth Hokage's ninja robe, slipped it on his back, clapped his hands together, and shouted:

"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu,"

Bang bang bang, bang bang bang, another thousand Shadow Clone appeared around the Immortal Spring.

Qingcheng nodded slightly to the group of Shadow Clone and said with a smile:

"You all continue refining Senjutsu Chakra here. In a few days, I'm going to learn a Senjutsu, the most powerful Senjutsu yet,"

Upon hearing Qingcheng's arrangement, the group of Shadow Clone immediately shouted, "Main body, you're treating us like cattle! Fine, fine, we understand!"

These Shadow Clone sat around the Immortal Spring, continuing to refine Senjutsu Chakra, making ample preparations for Qingcheng's Ninjutsu training.

Qingcheng was already preparing to train in Sage Art: Wood Release, True Thousand Hands, Wood Golem: Summit Enlightenment. Clearly, training such techniques would require a massive amount of Chakra, so Qingcheng left his Shadow Clone here to continue refining their Chakra.

The little Katsuyu looked at Qingcheng and created so many Shadow Clones, asking with a puzzled expression, "Lord Qingcheng, you've already succeeded in your cultivation, why do you still need to leave behind so many Shadow Clones?"

Hearing a hint of displeasure in the Katsuyu's words, Qingcheng waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Little Katsuyu, my Shadow Clone are all training here and won't disturb your lives. You can continue as usual. I still want to thank you for your unwavering protection. When I go back, I'll have Tsunade bring you some local specialties next time. It's a happy decision."

The little Katsuyu watched Qingcheng laughing and joking, seemingly intending to settle down next to the Immortal Spring, and was greatly disappointed.

Qingcheng waved to the Katsuyu again, and said with a smile:

"I'm heading back now. Next time, I'll have Tsunade bring you some local specialties. I know you like salt, so I'll have Tsunade send you extra, hahaha,"

Qingcheng immediately formed a hand Hand Seals with one hand and shouted, "Summoning Jutsu!"

With a bang, it turned into a wisp of white smoke and disappeared into the Shikkotsu Forest Immortal Land.

The Katsuyu watched as Qingcheng's Shadow Clone, densely packed in the center of the Immortal Spring, resembled a dark, imposing mass of figures.

The little Katsuyu said awkwardly, "From now on, I'll just drink water from the side. The places these Shadow Clones have been in Natural Energy."
