Qi Yuan was deeply shaken. Only now did he understand why the Sharingan was held in such low regard.
"Organic damage to the body, not living past thirty-isn't that a bloodline disease?"
"But why don't the other Kekkei Genkai seem to have this problem?"
Yan Gang took a deep breath and continued, "So if you're lucky enough to obtain a Kekkei Genkai, make sure you don't choose the Sharingan, understand?"
Qi Yuan said nothing, his gaze fixed on the documents in his hands.
Are you kidding me? Could a ninja world without the Sharingan even count as a ninja world?
But what exactly was going on with this world's Sharingan?
Could the Sharingan bloodline be so overbearing that the people of this world were extremely incompatible with it?
Qi Yuan set aside his tangled thoughts and continued reading the documents in his hands.
"The seventh floor of the Inheritance Tower? King inheritances?"
Although he had only recently arrived in this world, he knew what a King represented.
They were the strongest of humanity, possessing unimaginable power.
And the Seventh Layer of the Inheritance Tower within Planetary Space actually offered Level Seven King legacies!
Yan Gang's expression turned serious. "To date, most of the Human Race's Kings have reached level seven through inheritances from secret realms."
"Kings who truly reached tier seven through their own cultivation can be counted on one hand!"
"And secret realms containing a King's Legacy are generally controlled by Level Seven King Beasts. They're extremely dangerous."
"Take the King Deidara inheritance discovered in Zhongzhou two years ago!"
"Our Human Race deployed a total of two Kings and more than a dozen experts in the Level Six Grandmaster Realm before finally taking that secret realm."
The Deidara inheritance?
Recalling that defiant blond from his previous life's memories, Qi Yuan suddenly felt a sense of strangeness.
That art-seeking youth had actually become a King's Legacy sought after by hundreds of millions in this world!
"So the Seventh Layer within Planetary Space is particularly important."
"So far, we've discovered a total of fifteen King's Legacies on the Seventh Layer."
Qi Yuan scanned the list, and surprise immediately filled his face again!
Kakashi, Might Guy, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Tsunade, Shimura Danzō, Hiruzen Sarutobi...
There were even Hatake Sakumo and Tobirama Senju!
Good grief, that practically rounded up all of Konoha's Kage Level powerhouses!
However, Qi Yuan had looked up this world's Level Seven Kings online. Judging purely by their feats, they should have been far stronger than the Kage Level powerhouses of the Naruto world.
Yan Gang simply had very little information on each King's Legacy. After all, he himself was only tier three.
King's Legacies were far beyond his reach, and he could not obtain more information.
In any case, a Level Seven King in this world was a godlike existence.
But the Kings of the Nine Provinces Alliance generally guarded secret realm entrances and rarely took action.
Soon, however, Qi Yuan noticed a problem.
There are no Uchiha here, no Mangekyō Sharingan! What's going on?
"Uncle Yan, why isn't there a Sharingan?"
Yan Gang looked at Qi Yuan in puzzlement. "It's almost impossible for a lower-grade Kekkei Genkai user to become a Level Seven King, much less with a curse like the Sharingan."
Qi Yuan immediately understood. The people of this world considered the Sharingan trash, probably not just because of the organic changes it caused in the body, but also because its ceiling was too low.
The people of this world might not even know the Mangekyō Sharingan exists, let alone the Rinnegan!
But why aren't there any inheritances from Uchiha powerhouses in Planetary Space?
Is it because the Uchiha were all turncoats and didn't count as part of Konoha?
Qi Yuan realized that the powerhouse inheritances appearing in Planetary Space all belonged to ninjas from Konoha.
Wait, the four central figures of their eras aren't here either!
Only then did Qi Yuan notice that a certain Dance King and Big Pillar, the king of talking people down and Uchiha Sasuke, were all absent from the powerhouse inheritances.
"Uncle Yan, has no one really ever entered the eighth and ninth floors of the Inheritance Tower?"
Yan Gang hesitated, then shook his head. "I don't think anyone has!"
"These Level Seven King legacies require a chakra affinity of at least 150."
"I've heard of someone with a chakra affinity as high as 200, but they still couldn't get beyond the Seventh Layer."
Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes. If 200 wasn't enough, what about 300 or 400?
Perhaps the secret of this world's Sharingan lay hidden on the eighth or ninth floor!
Yan Gang paused, considered it, and finally said, "Not even one person in hundreds of millions might obtain a King's Legacy, so there's very little information about them."
His implication was that he had no hope of Qi Yuan obtaining a King's Legacy. In fact, in his view, obtaining a lower-grade Kekkei Genkai was already Qi Yuan's limit.
But Yan Gang immediately continued, "Still, I do know a little about three of the Kings."
"Every King's Legacy is powerful, but there are three that everyone agrees you should choose with caution."
"First: Shimura Danzō."
"After obtaining this King's inheritance, if you're fortunate enough to cultivate to the King realm, large numbers of Sharingan will grow on your right arm. In a very short time, your body will undergo drastic pathological changes, becoming corroded and withered. Even a King's body can't withstand it."
"That's why people call the Sharingan a curse!"
Qi Yuan's eyes went wide. That could happen?
A body that should have been packed with cheats had become poison instead?
"Still, if Shimura Danzō is your only choice, it isn't out of the question. The Sharingan curse of this King's Legacy only strikes when you reach Level Seven King."
"And even with a King's Legacy, the odds of becoming a King aren't high, so most people don't need to worry."
Even without becoming a King, the Level Six Grandmaster Realm was already an existence admired by hundreds of millions!
"Second: Kakashi Hatake."
"His is also a relatively common King's Legacy, but generally, when you cultivate to the Great Grandmaster Realm, you must gouge out your left eye. Otherwise, a Three-Tomoe Sharingan will grow there."
"Although it won't cause sudden death, you'll have no chance of entering the King realm for the rest of your life!"
Qi Yuan's mind reeled. The Sharingan curse again? Was it really that sinister?
Simply put, other Kekkei Genkai gave people buffs, while the Sharingan kept piling on lethal debuffs. Who could withstand that?
Yan Gang continued, "The last one requires caution not because of the Sharingan, but because this King only passes down Taijutsu!"
At this point, Yan Gang's expression became somewhat unnatural.
"It's the legacy of Level Seven King Might Guy. After inheriting from this King, you must specialize in Taijutsu. Other ninjutsu and genjutsu are very difficult to practice."
"More importantly, he possesses a forbidden technique called the Eight Gates of Limitless."
"Someone once used the Eight Gates of Limitless at the level of a tier-four ninja to beat a peak tier-six Quasi-King Beast to death!"
Yan Gang gave Qi Yuan a long look, a trace of reminiscence showing in his eyes.
"This forbidden technique is outrageously difficult to master. Unless you possess tremendous perseverance, you absolutely must not choose this King's Legacy!"
Something stirred within Qi Yuan. Of course he knew how formidable this inheritance was, but he already had the Eight Gates of Limitless!
