Chapter 116
The endless desert and the vast, boundless forest formed a boundary line that appeared quite eerie.
The corpses hanging in the forest added a touch of bloodiness and terror to this strange scene; as the wind and sand blew across the sky, the corpses swayed within them, enough to make the timid scared out of their wits.
Standing on the boundary line, the expression on Uchiha Feiyu's face had quite a bit of the style of the Uchiha Madara Laughing Four, and it took him quite a while to suppress the urge to laugh wildly.
The Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art, a peerless demonic art from the Covering the Sky world, is similar to all demonic arts with the word "swallow" in them, belonging to the type of peerless cultivation method that involves eating people.
It is just that compared to ordinary demonic arts that absorb cultivation base, or even more powerful ones that absorb cultivation base, flesh and blood, and souls alike, this art has a higher conception and stronger potential.
The essence of the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art does not lie in the ability to absorb cultivation base; what it absorbs is the opponent's physical Origin, and by smelting thousands of constitutions, it forges a Chaos Body that belongs solely to oneself.
Its true essence does not lie in absorption, but in fusion, forging the strongest constitution that integrates the advantages of various constitutions by taking their strengths and making up for their weaknesses.
The Book of Demonic Inheritance did not give Uchiha Feiyu the true cultivation method of the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art, but only gave Uchiha Feiyu several secret techniques from the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art, which naturally included the secret technique for swallowing and fusing constitutions.
Of course, in reality, even if the entire Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art were given to Uchiha Feiyu, Uchiha Feiyu estimates that he would not be able to cultivate it; the Secret Realm Method of Covering the Sky could only be easily cultivated by later generations after the Huang Tian Emperor scattered the seeds of the secret realms.
Otherwise, a cultivator would have to be like the Huang Tian Emperor and open up a path themselves—not to mention that Uchiha Feiyu feels he is far from having that kind of talent and aptitude, and furthermore, the Huang Tian Emperor only created the method of "using the body as a seed" after reaching the peak of humanity.
The peak of humanity in worlds like Covering the Sky and Perfect World has such a high Power Level that at the very least, they could shatter half a galaxy with a slap; once he truly had this kind of strength, Uchiha Feiyu feels he would not need any Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art.
So now, the effects of these secret techniques are better, at least allowing an ordinary ninja like Uchiha Feiyu to use them all the same.
In addition to the secret technique for absorbing thousands of constitutions, the secret technique chapter of the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art also records the Great Dao Treasure Bottle, which can absorb a large amount of natural energy and various energies from heaven and earth.
The Ten Thousand Transformations Sacred Art, which turns moves from miraculous to mundane and possesses incomparably powerful defensive capabilities.
And the God-Controlling Technique, which forcibly brainwashes others; these are the secret techniques that the Book of Demonic Inheritance gave him.
As for secret techniques like "a thought of flowers blooming, ruling the world" or the Flying Immortal Art, Uchiha Feiyu did not find them, but without the foundation of the Secret Realm Method, Uchiha Feiyu estimates he would not be able to cultivate these secret techniques either.
In fact, with Uchiha Feiyu's current abilities, even with just these few secret techniques, he can only learn some superficial knowledge, but even that superficial knowledge is enough for Uchiha Feiyu to lay the most solid foundation and have his Power Level skyrocket.
"Tsk... my current Power Level, converted to the Covering the Sky world, is probably at most that of the ordinary Dao Palace Secret Realm... The strength displayed by Otsutsuki Kaguya, possessing the power to cleanse the surface, is the strength that only a Saint level would have in Covering the Sky."
"It's just that the planet of the Ninja World is definitely far inferior to life planets like North Dipper and Ziwei in Covering the Sky, whether in terms of planetary strength or planetary size, they are a hundred and eight thousand miles apart... Could Otsutsuki Kaguya at most be counted as a mighty figure at the Immortal Platform Second Layer?"
Uchiha Feiyu is also very clear that there must be many problems with the conversion he made based on destructive power.
As for the chakra system, which is essentially a system that becomes stronger by eating, eating, and eating, compared to those madmen in Covering the Sky who fight, fight, and fight all the way, it is estimated that any high-level Dragon Transformation cultivator could press Otsutsuki Kaguya to the ground and rub her.
Compared to the Otsutsuki Clan who live off their past glory, those battle maniacs in Covering the Sky are not only full of pursuit for strength, but their entire cultivation system is also far superior to the chakra system.
"However, it's a pity I can't cultivate it... Tsk! Coach, I don't want to be a ninja anymore, I want to be a Great Emperor!"
Of course, it is definitely impossible for Uchiha Feiyu to be a Great Emperor now, but it is no problem to learn from those animal Immortals in the Summoning Sacred Land to practice Immortal Cultivation.
The Great Dao Treasure Bottle secret technique in the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art can absorb and purify the natural energy of heaven and earth, turning it into essence to nourish oneself, and even the enemy's attacks can be completely dissolved and used to replenish oneself.
And in the Ninja World, the so-called natural energy of heaven and earth is the Natural Energy that permeates the entire planet!
In other words, through the Great Dao Treasure Bottle, Uchiha Feiyu can completely obtain pure Natural Energy that is harmless to the body; not only can he cultivate into Sage Mode, but he can even transform his own body into an Immortal like those animal Immortals and live for thousands of years.
"Tsk... a bunch of animals with a Power Level not exceeding the Four Extremes level can live for thousands of years, and the lifespan of a genuine Otsutsuki is even too long to calculate; it feels like the Great Emperors of Covering the Sky would all cry themselves to sleep in the bathroom!"
After resolving all the forces under the Wind Daimyo, Uchiha Feiyu also secretly came to the capital of the Land of Wind and re-applied a brand-new Genjutsu to this Wind Daimyo.
From now on, this Wind Daimyo became a yes-man and a money bag for Sunagakure, and there was no longer any need to consider restrictions from the Land of Wind.
This change did not arouse the suspicion of the nobles of the Land of Wind; after all, all the forces under the Daimyo were wiped out, and daring to continue to squeeze Sunagakure's funding like before would simply be courting death.
Having settled the problem of the Land of Wind, what remained was the method of dealing with these corpses; the number of tens of thousands of corpses was simply too large. Uchiha Feiyu ultimately did not bring these corpses back to Sunagakure, but instead had the ninjas of Sunagakure bring the Blood Pool over, preparing to perform the baptism right there.
The secret method of the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art requires a higher-level physical Origin, and in this respect, it is not as unpicky as the Spirit Devouring and Blood Refining Technique.
A large number of soldiers' corpses were swallowed by the Blood Pool, but because these soldiers had such poor aptitude, the amount of essence blood that could be extracted was also very scarce; even with such a terrifying number of fifty thousand, the final essence blood extracted was no different from that of five thousand ordinary ninjas.
Coupled with the more than two thousand wandering ninjas and monks, although the essence blood Uchiha Feiyu obtained could be called unprecedented, the improvement to him was not as terrifying as imagined.
Of course, a Blood Pool for seven thousand people was already enough for Uchiha Feiyu's bloodline to undergo another transformation, awakening Mangekyo-level pupil power, while simultaneously making up for most of the defects in his Sage Body, making his constitution infinitely close to that of Senju Hashirama.
As long as Uchiha Feiyu spends a little more time and uses Hashirama Cell to baptize himself a few more times, he will naturally awaken a complete Sage Body by then.
As for the Rinnegan, that is not something that can be created by the combined efforts of the Sage Body and the Mangekyo; at the very least, it requires the chakra of Ashura and Indra to be thoroughly awakened.
It can be said that Uchiha Feiyu's bloodline has now reached a bottleneck; unless he truly lets go and slaughters, treating those few bloodline ninja clans of the Sage of Six Paths like livestock to be slaughtered and kept in captivity, and even then, it would take more than a dozen years of effort to step into the level of the Rinnegan.
"The effect of the Spirit Devouring and Blood Refining Technique has gradually become weaker for me; fortunately, there is now the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art to seamlessly connect, and even if it is just cultivating the secret technique within it that changes the constitution, it is much stronger than the Spirit Devouring and Blood Refining Technique!"
The Spirit Devouring and Blood Refining Technique, when cultivated to the limit, at most only returns to the level of the ancestors; however, the essence of the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art is to fuse the advantages of thousands of constitutions and evolve into a stronger and more excellent constitution.
Through the cultivation of the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art secret techniques, Uchiha Feiyu can very easily feel the bloodline power existing within his body, like shining stars.
Even if Uchiha Feiyu has not swallowed any constitution, just by cultivating the secret techniques, his own foundation and constitution will have a subtle and continuous rise.
Theoretically, if there were a hundred years of hard cultivation, Uchiha Feiyu could even rely on this secret technique to return to the ancestors and become an Otsutsuki, and one belonging to the type of Otsutsuki with an optimized bloodline.
If he could cultivate for thousands of years, Uchiha Feiyu estimates that he could evolve a more powerful and terrifying bloodline on the basis of the Otsutsuki bloodline, such as something like the so-called Otsutsuki God.
As for things like the Chaos Body... this is not the Covering the Sky world, there are no primitive "constitution samples," so even if Uchiha Feiyu wanted to evolve, he couldn't.
"The next step is to lie low and cultivate for a period of time, cultivating the secret techniques in the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art one by one; although with my level I can only touch some superficial knowledge, it is enough to make my strength leap forward significantly."
The secret techniques in Covering the Sky, and even the secret techniques at the Great Emperor level, are naturally difficult to cultivate, not to mention that Uchiha Feiyu's chakra system is essentially a big step behind the Five Great Secret Realms method of Covering the Sky.
Fortunately, while the Book of Demonic Inheritance passed the content to Uchiha Feiyu, it also gave Uchiha Feiyu the most detailed understanding of these secret techniques, which allowed him the opportunity to slowly make some of the content of the secret techniques his own.
But even so, the time required is definitely not short; at the very least, it will take a year or two to slowly sort it out before these secret techniques from Covering the Sky can be integrated into the ninja's combat system.
The morning sunlight shone into Sunagakure; the village, which was once gray and gloomy, was now surrounded by green grass and trees, and the dancing butterflies and chirping birds made this place look not like a desert area, but rather like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
Waking up from a pile of lotus-root-like arms and pink legs, Uchiha Feiyu pushed away the woman lying on his chest, stood up, and put on his clothes.
"Mm... Lord Feiyu..."
The woman pushed away by Uchiha Feiyu woke up, and seeing Uchiha Feiyu putting on his clothes, she hurriedly climbed out of bed, and her movements also woke up more women.
After waking up, these women climbed up very naturally and began to serve Uchiha Feiyu in dressing; it was only after Uchiha Feiyu was dressed up that they began to put on their own clothes.
It has now been nearly two years since Uchiha Feiyu first came to Sunagakure; in these two years, Uchiha Feiyu did not continue to stir up trouble, but instead immersed himself in cultivation.
Relying on the Great Dao Treasure Bottle Seal, he cultivated into Sage Mode; through the Ten Thousand Transformations Sacred Art, he realized a move like the Preta Path that reduces ninjutsu back into chakra for absorption; through the God-Controlling Technique, he realized a Genjutsu close to Kotoamatsukami.
Most importantly, it is naturally the secret technique of the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art that absorbs and fuses thousands of constitutions; relying on this art and some of Sunagakure's collections, although Uchiha Feiyu's bloodline has not evolved further, his constitution has been optimized far more than before.
Just as with the same Sage Body, Senju Hashirama still surpasses Uzumaki Naruto; two people with the same bloodline may have vastly different physical attributes.
And Uchiha Feiyu, through the Secret Technique of the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art and the corpses of some Bloodline Limit ninjas collected by Sunagakure, adjusted his own body to the limit of his bloodline.
Besides cultivation, Uchiha Feiyu naturally did not reject finding some amusement; now, Pakura and Karura had long since become his Cauldrons, obedient to his every whim, and Sunagakure naturally let him take whatever he desired.
Those young and beautiful female ninjas in Sunagakure with the potential to become Jonin had long since become his Cauldrons, and it was precisely because they became his Cauldrons and gained many benefits from him through Dual Cultivation that the current upper echelons of Sunagakure have a trend of being dominated by women.
At the very least, among the more than thirty Jonin who advanced in these two years, a full 24 were Uchiha Feiyu's Cauldrons, occupying nearly eighty percent of the newly promoted Jonin.
Nowadays, that the Fifth Kazekage possesses a certain Secret Technique that allows female ninjas to advance by leaps and bounds is not even considered a secret in the entire Sunagakure.
Today, the female ninjas of Sunagakure all take pride in being able to become Anbu under the Fifth Kazekage; who doesn't know that the Fifth Kazekage's Anbu only recruits those young and potential-filled female ninjas, and once they join the Anbu, their strength will improve by a large margin in a very short time, stepping into the level of Jonin.
Even their future progress speed will not be much slower; the first batch of six female ninjas who joined the Anbu have now all become Elite Jonin.
Uchiha Feiyu originally just wanted to find some amusement, but he did not expect that while he was enjoying himself, he actually helped Sunagakure recover much of its vitality.
Sunagakure is now neither short of money nor resources, and even cultivating grassroots ninjas is very easy—chakra is inherently a system that is very easy to fast-track.
It can be said that the only thing they lack is true high-level Jonin and top-tier Shadow-level experts.
Unlike those cannon fodder ninjas, Jonin are not so easy to cultivate; the number of ninjas who can be promoted to Jonin in a Ninja Village each year basically does not exceed ten, so the emergence of more than 30 Jonin in these two years is truly thanks to Uchiha Feiyu's Dual Cultivation Technique.
As for Shadow-level, it goes without saying; if it weren't for Uchiha Feiyu, Sunagakure would still only have Pakura, a bottom-tier Shadow-level, struggling to hold things together.
The current Pakura is at least no longer a bottom-tier Shadow-level, and after two years of Dual Cultivation, her strength can even be considered upper-middle among the Shadow-level, almost reaching the title of the strongest Kazekage.
Added to that is Karura, who is not much inferior, and Sunagakure, if not fully restored to its peak, has at least recovered more than half of its vitality.
