Back to Mount Myoboku

"You did very well. You could say I am extremely satisfied, especially recently. I absorbed that exceedingly ancient chakra, and my true body has undergone another transformation."

Nine-Headed Snake Cypress's praise echoed in Long Ye's mind.

This made him let out a long sigh of relief.

Even now, whenever he faced Snake Cypress, that helplessness before its power still lingered. He could not help but feel inwardly alarmed. What kind of existence was this Nine-Headed Snake Cypress?

For quite some time now, he had not deliberately hunted Kekkei Genkai users. He had been somewhat worried that Snake Cypress would blame him for failing at his task.

Yet unexpectedly, the other party was actually very satisfied.

After hearing Nine-Headed Snake Cypress's words, Long Ye understood something. The ancient chakra it spoke of had undoubtedly come from the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's chakra during his battle against Nagato.

The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's true body was the God Tree. It and this Nine-Headed Snake Cypress could be considered similar beings, so their power attributes were likely extremely close.

Long Ye immediately seized the opportunity.

"To be honest, Sage, I expended tremendous effort to lure that thing out. But unfortunately, it was too powerful, and the one who summoned it was even stronger. When I fought him then, I nearly lost my life."

"Mm! I sensed that as well. That thing was indeed not weak. If it were at its peak, even if I summoned my true body over, I might not be able to take it down."

Long Ye was startled by what he heard.

Nine-Headed Snake Cypress's words gave him a rough sense of that thing's upper limit of power.

The thing it referred to at its peak clearly meant the Ten-Tails.
