Chapter 69: New Inheritance

Regarding Orochimaru's proposal, Uchiha Feiyu indicated that he needed to think about it for a period of time; Orochimaru did not urge him much, telling Uchiha Feiyu that giving him an answer within three days would suffice.

As for joining Root, as long as there was no brainwashing process or various Cursed Seal restrictions, it was not something unacceptable to Uchiha Feiyu.

In any case, he was not a good person, nor did he have any moral squeamishness; if he could take missions for Konoha, why couldn't he take missions for Root? Aren't they both just killing and arson?

However, the key is, what benefits would he have after joining Root? If there were no benefits, he would not be willing to work for free.

Returning to his home, Uchiha Feiyu first lit a stick of incense for his parents, his expression slightly indifferent, then returned to his room and sat cross-legged on the bed.

"According to Orochimaru, now that I have returned to Konoha, I won't need to go to the battlefield for at least half a year..."

The matter of Root was actually just an accident; when Uchiha Feiyu went to find his cheap teacher, he mainly wanted to ask how long he could rest.

One must know that Konoha is still fighting the Rock Ninja, and the Cloud Ninja are also restless, wanting to join this battlefield; Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, has been blocking the Rock Ninja battlefield, and his disciple, Minato, is also on guard on the Cloud Ninja front.

Logically, Konoha should be in great need of Power Level right now, but the Third Hokage gave both Orochimaru and Uchiha Feiyu a half-year vacation; it is estimated that many people cannot figure out what he is thinking in his head.

However, Uchiha Feiyu had some guesses about this; this move by the Third Hokage was likely to suppress the merits and reputation of himself and Orochimaru, paving the way for the Fourth Hokage election.

Only this kind of so-called political factor would cause a normal military department to have such boring internal friction.

"But this way, it has given me quite a bit of time for development and settling; since it is already certain that I won't be going to the battlefield in the short term and won't be able to get too many Soul, it is about time to use these offerings."

While thinking, Uchiha Feiyu sank his mind into his consciousness; beneath the black Book of Demonic Inheritance was a dense mass of Black Qi condensed into a ball.

"A total of 572 wisps of Black Qi... first, use 500 wisps of Black Qi for a precise sacrifice, and for the harvest, let's set it as the inheritance most suitable for me now!"

Even a so-called precise sacrifice can only be precise to a general category, such as blade techniques, sword techniques, or main cultivation arts, but it is impossible to produce a huge pile of things for you to choose from directly.

Uchiha Feiyu played a trick this time, choosing the prefix "most suitable," so at least there wouldn't be any useless inheritance.

A large amount of Black Qi instantly evaporated and dissipated, the black book trembled slightly for a moment, and a complex piece of information flew out and landed before Uchiha Feiyu's eyes.

"Soul Devouring Blood Refining Method? Which world's cultivation method is this?"

Uchiha Feiyu looked at it carefully; according to the introduction of its content, this Soul Devouring Blood Refining Method could not even be considered a cultivation method, but rather a secret technique originating from a strange race called the Soul Devouring Tribe.

As for its effect, it is very simple: it is to refine various lives possessing strange bloodlines and physiques into a Blood Pool, and evolve one's own bloodline through this Blood Pool.

The refined life needs to be compatible with one's own race; that is to say, if one wants to evolve the bloodline through this method, killing some chickens, ducks, or animals is definitely useless; only humans can be used.

At the same time, the stronger the special bloodline the human possesses, and the closer the connection to one's own bloodline, the better; if Uchiha Feiyu could directly sacrifice the entire Uchiha Clan, it is estimated that his bloodline purity would approach that of Indra.

If he were to also sacrifice all the other great clans still circulating in the Ninja World, such as the Hyuga and Kaguya, then it wouldn't just be approaching Indra, but the true Sage of Six Paths alive!

However, it's fine to just think about such things; wanting to sacrifice all these great clans... well, it's not that it can't be done, it's just definitely not possible right now.

"This really is the path most suitable for me; isn't the Naruto World a world that looks solely at bloodlines? If I didn't possess the Sharingan, the resentment from the backlash of the Spirit-Binding and Command-General technique would be hard to handle."

"And the Blood Pool that needs to be built first also requires a large amount of resources..."

It's not just a matter of resources; the so-called Blood Pool, just looking at the name, is full of the Demonic Path style, and naturally, it requires things like bones and flesh.

Uchiha Feiyu thought and thought, but couldn't figure out how he could build a Blood Pool without Konoha knowing; in the end, he could only sigh faintly:

"It seems I must join this Root; relying on Orochimaru's help, I should be able to build a Blood Pool."

"However, the relationship between me and this cheap teacher is not a true master-disciple relationship; it's best to think of a way... but I don't seem to have anything to trade with Orochimaru."

While thinking, Uchiha Feiyu simply sacrificed the remaining 72 wisps of Black Qi; this time he did not choose a precise sacrifice, and a moment later, the black Book of Demonic Inheritance spat out a piece of information for him.

"Eh!? Haha, didn't the content for the trade just come?"

Looking at the "Lich Transformation Ritual" from the D&D world in his hand, a look of joy suddenly appeared on Uchiha Feiyu's face; with this thing, why worry about not being able to handle Orochimaru?

Exiting the Demonic Path inheritance space, Uchiha Feiyu lay on the bed and sighed slightly:

"I don't know when the Blood Pool will be built... and I don't know if ordinary ninja can also be refined by the Blood Pool?"

Theoretically, ordinary ninja are not descendants of the Sage of Six Paths and have no special bloodlines at all, but in fact, all the ninja in this world were developed from the Ninja Sect established by the Sage of Six Paths at the beginning, and the ultimate source of chakra is still the seeds separated by the Sage of Six Paths.

And this energy called chakra can actually modify genes and bloodlines; to a certain extent, these ordinary ninja of the ninja world are like Dragonborn living beside a Dragon and infected by the Dragon, and they already have certain differences from normal people.

"Thinking from this aspect, ordinary ninja can actually be refined, and low-to-mid-level ninja die no differently than weeds in the Ninja World War; it is too easy to get their corpses."

"It's just that if I want to get them on a large scale, there might be some difficulties in transportation, and it's not that easy to go to the battlefield to collect corpses; it seems I still have to ask my cheap teacher for help!"
