Just when Senju Chen was already planning to give up the clone Earth Dragon Cave.
Suddenly Senju Chen had a flash of inspiration and thought of something.
That is the ability of my Sharingan left eye - Illusion Space.
He used to build the Genjutsu space with his own Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. You must know that in that space, he is the absolute master and can change all the rules.
But the method I just thought of is not to use Sharingan to release Genjutsu externally to influence others, but to influence myself internally.
But in the past, this ability was only available to outsiders.
But what if you use this ability on yourself?
It is not about modifying the outside world, but about modifying one's own "reception method" for Natural Energy.
Just do it if you think of it, or at worst, scrap a clone!
Earth Dragon Cave clone's left eye pupil power exploded instantly.
Three-Tomoe rotates and turns into a complex pattern of Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
The world has not turned upside down - because he is not performing magic on the outside.
He projected the Genjutsu space inward, covering his own spiritual world.
On a spiritual level, Senju Chen "sees" the flow of energy in his body.
Chakra is the blue river, and Natural Energy is the green flood. The green flood is pouring into the blue river at an uncontrollable speed, breaking down the dams.
Senju Chen stretched out his hand in the spiritual space.
He constructed a concept out of thin air at the entrance of the green flood.
valve.
It is not a valve in the physical sense, but a "restriction" on the spiritual level - a gate made of willpower.
He stuck this "valve" on the channel where Natural Energy flows into the meridians.
Then it starts to narrow.
The green flood hit the valve and made a violent vibration.
The clone's head felt as if someone had hit it with a hammer, and severe pain exploded from his temples.
Mental energy is consumed rapidly in an instant.
You know, if you want to maintain this "valve", you need to continuously output mental power, but the impact of Natural Energy far exceeded his expectations.
But Senju Chen didn't let go.
He gritted his teeth and narrowed the valve a little further.
The flow rate of the green flood begins to decrease.
Twelve times... ten times... eight times...
The scaliness stopped spreading.
Stop at the clavicle and no longer climb up.
Five times... three times...
On the clone's right arm, the scales began to slowly fade away. From the shoulder to the fingers, the scales faded away piece by piece, revealing the normal skin underneath.
twice.
The flow rate of Natural Energy has stabilized at about twice the normal value.
The clone let out a long breath.
Sweat fell from his forehead and dripped on the stone platform, making a slight sound.
On the roof of the cave.
White Snake Sage's pure white vertical pupils were completely opened.
It stared at Senju Chen for ten seconds.
For the first time, real surprise appeared in those eyes.
Not the casual attitude of "it's interesting" before, but--
"He actually controlled the flow rate of Natural Energy?"
White Snake Sage's voice is no longer lazy.
It was talking to itself, and its tail unconsciously rubbed against the cave wall twice.
"Good boy, interesting."
"It's so interesting."
Senju Chen's clone opened its eyes and moved its right arm, which had returned to normal.
The fingertips are still a little numb, but the scales have completely faded.
"Immortal, I..."
"Shut up." White Snake Sage interrupted him.
Its giant Orochi body slid down from the cave roof and circled around the stone platform. Golden light circulated in the space, illuminating the sweat stains on the clone's face.
"That thing you just made - do you know what it is?"
The clone thought for a while. "A... spiritual control valve?"
White Snake Sage stared at him.
"Did you know that for a thousand years in Longdi Cave, all those who have practiced immortality have only two outcomes when faced with the loss of natural energy?"
"The first method is to use your own Chakra to carry it hard. If you carry it, you will pass."
"The second option is to turn into a snake if you can't bear it, and you will fail directly."
"But no one has ever..."
White Snake Sage's voice paused.
"No one has ever done it, adding a 'valve' to the channel of Natural Energy."
The clone was stunned for a moment.
"Isn't this method... wrong?"
White Snake Sage did not answer this question.
It was silent for a while, its tail slowly drawing circles on the ground.
"It's not wrong." It finally said, "No one can do it."
"Do you know why?"
The clone shook his head.
"Because the mental power of ordinary people is simply not enough to build anything in the torrent of Natural Energy. Natural Energy is not Chakra, and it is not controlled by the will of the ninja. If you throw a stone into the river, the stone will be washed away. If you build a wall in front of the flood, the wall will be washed away."
"But your mental power... actually did it!!!"
The clone didn't answer the call.
He knows the reason for his strong mental power - the soul of the time traveler itself has one more "plug-in" than the aborigines of this world, coupled with the blessing of the system and long-term training of mental power, and finally the talent stolen from Kurama Yakumo.
This makes him far superior to ordinary people at the spiritual and spiritual level.
But these words cannot be said.
White Snake Sage circled the stone platform again and then stopped.
"Boy."
"Sir, please speak."
"I originally planned to let you practice step by step and spend three to five months to complete the second stage."
"But your behavior just now... made me change my mind."
White Snake Sage's snake body slowly entangled itself next to the stone platform. The huge snake head came close to the clone, and its vertical pupils were at the same level as his eyes.
"I'll tell you something now."
"The Ryūchi Cave Sage Mode you are practicing now is actually not the most perfect 'immortal transformation'."
"It's just a method that suits your human constitution."
The clone frowned. "Not the most perfect immortal?"
"Mount Myōboku's Sage Mode pursues 'balance' - the perfect balance of Mental Energy, body energy, and Natural Energy, without any deviation."
"But Ryūchi Cave is different."
White Snake Sage's voice becomes deeper.
"My Ryūchi Cave cultivation method is called--Snake Sage Unity."
Snake Sage Unity.
The clone recited these four words silently in his heart.
"My Earth Dragon Cave's cultivation method is to completely integrate the cultivator with Natural Energy. It's not 'borrowing' Natural Energy, it's not 'suppressing' Natural Energy, but you yourself become Natural Energy Part of. When you reach that state, you don't need to spend time to absorb, transform, and balance. When you think of Natural Energy within a hundred miles, they will automatically respond to you. However, human beings are physically weak and have limited mental power, so they cannot perfectly accept Natural Energy. The infusion and use of E requires my mark as an introduction. Although after the final cultivation is successful, you can always use Natural Energy, but this method has an upper limit. Once you pass my mark, your physical body adapts to Natural Energy. After, the amount of Natural Energy you can absorb and use is fixed. Because the mark I poured into your body that can attract Natural Energy is limited, there is an upper limit to the amount of Natural Energy you can absorb."
Senju Chen understands the meaning of White Snake Sage, which means that Sage Mode who practices Earth Dragon Cave, even if he succeeds in the end, in fact The power of Sage Mode also has an upper limit, which means that no matter how perfect he cultivates Sage Mode in the future, at most it will be a different way of using it, but the Natural Energy that can be used has already been fixed.
"I dare to ask the immortal, is there any way to increase the upper limit of using Natural Energy?"
"Yes, but only two beings have reached this realm in the past thousand years." White Snake Sage said.
"The one who has coexisted with Natural Energy for a long time and is constantly improving is me."
"The other... is Katsuyu." White Snake Sage paused for a moment and then continued.
"Even the Sage of Six Paths you said back then was far from capable of doing this..."
