Great River Qi Refinement Method Emerges, Three Thousand Years of Life Shocks Orochimaru!

Orochimaru's smile vanished completely.

Living Corpse Reincarnation was his proudest Forbidden Technique, as well as the greatest achievement he had gained after pursuing immortality for many years.

No matter whom he had faced in the past, he had firmly believed that this path could free him from the limits of his lifespan.

When his body aged, he would replace it with a younger, superior vessel.

When the vessel was damaged, he would search for a new body.

But Fugaku's Tsukuyomi had already placed the cruel truth before him.

His soul was far weaker than he had imagined.

The damage left behind by each Living Corpse Reincarnation was real. He had merely been deliberately ignoring it all this time.

Orochimaru stared at the pale golden potion on the stone table, his voice low.

"Lord Patriarch has dismissed Living Corpse Reincarnation as worthless. Could it be that the Uchiha possess a better method of achieving immortality?"

"Not a better method of achieving immortality."

Lumen looked at him calmly.

"But a true path that can continuously transform one's level of life."

Orochimaru's golden vertical pupils suddenly contracted.

Lumen did not keep him in suspense.

"You should know about Kaguya Otsutsuki."

Orochimaru fell silent for a moment, then slowly nodded.

The Sage of Six Paths was not the true source of Chakra.

Before the Sage of Six Paths, there had been Kaguya Otsutsuki, deliberately concealed beneath the myths of later generations.

"Kaguya was sealed by the Sage of Six Paths and his younger brother.
