Chapter 5

"Absorb natural energy?!"

After Shi Yuan accepted the information in his mind, he was shocked and widened his eyes.

Isn't this the path to eternal life he had been pursuing?

Without a second thought, he immediately activated the Heavenly Demon Tattoo.

Instantly!

He felt his back itching, and a strange tattoo resembling an eye quickly formed.

Hum—

Immediately afterward, he felt natural energy—surging, powerful, massive!

At this moment, it was as if he had merged with nature, and natural energy began to pour into his body.

The natural energy continued to increase, and soon it reached a magnitude that balanced with the chakra in Shi Yuan’s body.

Just when he was worried, the natural energy suddenly stopped increasing.

It automatically balanced!

Shi Yuan was somewhat pleasantly surprised; he didn't expect the Heavenly Demon Tattoo to have such a hidden advantage.

He went to the mirror to check his state and immediately raised an eyebrow.

He saw that his eyes had turned golden, and his surroundings were covered with golden eyeshadow!

There was also a golden dot between his brows, making him look incomparably noble!

Apart from this, there were no other changes on his body!

"Perfect Sage Mode!"

A term suddenly flashed through Shi Yuan’s mind.

He could feel that his physical fitness had been greatly improved.

Both in strength and speed!

"This feeling is like... completely turning into another life form!"

Shi Yuan took a slight breath.

This state was very powerful, but this was not what he was pursuing!

In the next step, he deactivated Sage Mode!

Instantly!

All the natural energy dissipated!

Strength and speed all returned to their previous levels!

Shi Yuan was somewhat disappointed.

This was too far from the immortal method for eternal life he had envisioned.

His own body was just a storage container for natural energy.

However, this could also be considered a good start; he already had the prototype of an immortal method.

"The next step is to try to fuse natural energy with the body!"

After Shi Yuan calmed down, he continued to look at the Cursed Seal materials.

After reading them, he also understood where Orochimaru was stuck.

The Cursed Seal was formed by Orochimaru using Jugo’s Sage transformation ability, plus his own chakra, and then through the changes of the technique!

Jugo’s chakra, which was capable of Sage transformation, was extremely violent; even Orochimaru’s own chakra could not suppress it, let alone take a dominant position and fuse with his own chakra.

"Perhaps this research is also useful for me to create an immortal method!"

Shi Yuan was thoughtful.

As for Orochimaru’s problem, for Shi Yuan, who had already mastered the Heavenly Demon Tattoo, it was not a problem.

"Itachi said Itachi solved the problem of the Cursed Seal?!"

Orochimaru stared at Shi Yuan in disbelief, not hiding his shock at all.

Shi Yuan was very calm, "That’s right, it wasn't very difficult!"

Through this Cursed Seal incident, he suddenly realized something.

That is, if he wants to grow rapidly, he needs a large amount of important, confidential materials and experiments.

And now, only Orochimaru can provide these for him!

So just being a genius is not enough; he must perform well enough to shock Orochimaru.

Only then can he get Orochimaru to assist his growth.

Now it seems the effect is not bad.

"Not difficult?"

Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth, looking at him, feeling his throat somewhat dry.

For the first time, a sense of frustration arose in his heart!

Even when he saw the genius of the Uchiha clan display the terror of the Sharingan, he only felt excitement, without any frustration; instead, he was incomparably eager!

But now, looking at Shi Yuan, he truly felt the uncrossable chasm between the two of them!!

The smarter a person is, the more they can feel the fear brought by this gap!

And Orochimaru happened to be the kind of person who could feel fear!

To the point that he was rendered speechless!

Shi Yuan looked at the silent Orochimaru and said calmly:

"Yes, these problems are not difficult; what is difficult is eternal life, but I believe this won't stump me either!"

At this moment, his small face was full of confidence!

As long as the hook of eternal life is there, Orochimaru will definitely not make a move against him.

And he only needs to constantly prove himself and improve his strength in this process,

which is enough to make Orochimaru cooperate with him with all his might!

The two of them are just using each other!

"Oh, do Itachi have any ideas?"

Orochimaru’s spirits lifted, and he asked somewhat impatiently.

Shi Yuan chuckled internally.

As expected.

"Since we want eternal life, naturally both the physical body and the soul must be eternal!"

"In terms of the physical body, the Body-Forging Art I created is the prototype of the secret technique for eternal life!"

"As for the soul, I need to learn more knowledge about genjutsu and the soul!"

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru’s eyes flickered slightly.

Although he was currently researching the Living Corpse Reincarnation technique, how could he not want both his soul and body to be eternal?

It’s just that he couldn't do it before!

But now, he seemed to have a chance!

Orochimaru took a slight breath, his eyes gradually becoming firm.

If it were Shi Yuan, it might not be impossible!

If a secret method for eternal life were really developed, then no matter how much was paid, it would be worth it...

"I will give Itachi enough materials!"

Hearing Orochimaru’s words, Shi Yuan smiled in his heart.

"Okay!"

"I hope Itachi won't let me down!"

"Of course not!"

Shi Yuan’s life returned to its previous track.

Every day, he was either reading, learning, or eating!

As time passed, his body grew rapidly, 5 centimeters a month!

Making Orochimaru dumbfounded.

And during this period, Shi Yuan began to deliberately learn knowledge about genjutsu and the soul.

Just like what he told Orochimaru.

He not only wanted physical eternal life but also an indestructible soul!

Genjutsu: Tree Binding Death!

Genjutsu: This is Not That Technique!

Genjutsu: Darkness Decent Technique!

One genjutsu after another turned into his foundation and inspiration, constantly flashing in his mind.

Until this day.

[Itachi have observed a large amount of genjutsu and soul knowledge, Itachi have created...]
