Pirate: If you are immortal, I will first fill up the overlord color.

Chapter 499 Immortal Sect
"Jiraiya!"

"Little Jiraiya, are you still alive?"

The exclamation came into my ears in a blur.

Jiraiya felt pain all over his body and slowly opened his eyes, only to see the worried looks of Fukasaku and Shima.

"No, it's okay!"

"I just didn't expect that Orochimaru would actually!"

Jiraiya said with difficulty.

Even though he used the Needle Ksitigarbha Technique to defend himself with all his strength, he still couldn't avoid getting hurt by the sword shadows all over the sky. At this moment, he was covered in blood and looked very miserable.

"Jiraiya-chan, we are also very surprised at Orochimaru's condition!"

"We can be sure that this is a brand new Sage Mode that has never appeared before!"

"And, even more surprising, it has already matured and seems to be more in line with your human physique!"

Fukasaku Sennin said in amazement.

Although it was the first time they saw it, with their knowledge, they could naturally see that Orochimaru's energy and spirit were almost completely enhanced after entering the Sage Mode.

This is something that the Sage Mode of the three holy places cannot do.

Moreover, this model is more in line with the human definition of immortals and will not result in strange animalization phenomena.

"A Sage Mode that suits humans!"

"Is there really such a secret method in the world?"

Jiraiya said in a trembling voice.

In his mind, he was still replaying what Orochimaru had said during the battle just now.

I have to admit that although both sides have entered the Sage Mode, my strength is still no match for the other side.

"Little Jiraiya, you have to find out where this Sage Mode came from!"

"Because it may represent more than just Sage Mode!"

Shima Sennin pondered.

"what?"

Jiraiya turned his head, confused.

"You mean?!"

However, Shenren Fukasaku reacted and said in shock.

“Although the possibility is small, it does exist.”

"Otherwise, we can't explain why there is a Sage Mode that is so compatible with the human physique!"

"I think its cultivation method is also simpler than the methods of the three holy places!"

Shima Sennin said.

Hearing these words, Jiraiya's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it.

"You said it's simpler than the training method at Myoboku Mountain?"

As someone who had endured that kind of pain, he certainly knew what it meant to reduce the difficulty of practice.

Moreover, it fits the human physique!
The meaning of these few short words is even more unimaginable.

"Yes!"

"If you want to improve your strength!"

"This Sage Mode is something you must master, little Jiraiya!"

"The cultivation methods of the three holy places, Myoboku Mountain, Ryuchi Cave, and Wet Bone Forest, are only the most suitable for the three spiritual beasts. Although humans can practice, they cannot exert their greatest power!"

The Immortal Fukasaku sighed.

"Orochimaru, you really got an excellent evolutionary path!"

Shima Sennin also sighed.

Jiraiya's expression changed and he fell silent.

Orochimaru actually mastered the Sage Mode, which he had never expected, and it was even more powerful than his own Sage Mode.

The performance here is naturally not just about combat power and amplification, but also about gathering and utilizing natural energy.

All in all, this is far stronger than the three holy places.

After a while, Jiraiya got up, simply treated his wounds, and returned to Konoha.

"What did you say?!"

"Orochimaru has mastered Sage Mode?"

When the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen heard the news, he stood up suddenly and looked extremely shocked.

Over the years, he didn't know much about the eldest disciple. Although the other party had always been in Konoha, the two sides didn't actually have much communication.

"Yes!"

"Orochimaru's current strength is far beyond what it was in the past."

"I failed in my pursuit of him!"

"so!"

Jiraiya hesitated, but still asked.

"I want to ask you about Orochimaru's activities over the years."

"Has he traveled abroad? Or has he come into contact with some mysterious people?"

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he spoke softly: "Orochimaru, although I have rarely spoken to him in these years, his whereabouts are clear!"

Because of the cooperation between Orochimaru and Danzo, he was very clear. In this regard, Danzo was also closely monitoring it.

"He hardly ever leaves the village!"

“But when it comes to contact with people.”

"There really is one!"

Having said that, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

"Who?!"

Jiraiya asked immediately, not expecting to find anything.

"Uchiha Charlot!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen had a complicated expression.

"There is some kind of extremely secret cooperation going on between them."

"It's about Wood Release and Sharingan!"

Jiraiya was stunned and just stood there.

They didn't expect that this matter would involve the man from the Uchiha clan.

"Where's Xia Le?"

After reacting, he immediately asked again.

"The Forest of Konohagakure, bordering the northwest border with the Land of Earth."

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not hide anything.

Hearing this, Jiraiya's face trembled, he glanced at his teacher with a very strange look, and then sighed softly.

"Teacher!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression remained unchanged: "Everything is for the village."

Jiraiya sighed again and turned away.

He had to rush to the northwest border as soon as possible to meet the Uchiha strongman and find out everything.

If Orochimaru's Sage Mode really came from that person.

Then, the future situation of the ninja world will probably become unknown.

at the same time.

Konohagakure, the northwest border station.

Seeing the person coming, Uchiha Shisui was stunned: "Lord Orochimaru, why are you here?"

"I'm here to meet Xia Le!"

Orochimaru smiled and looked very polite.

Having personally experienced the power of the Sage Mode, he had already gained extreme admiration for Xia Le.

This method of using natural energy is perfect for humans, and it is indeed incredibly powerful. He even thinks that as long as he uses this power and masters various powerful escape techniques, it is not impossible to reach the level of Hashirama Senju and others in the past.

Because, after entering this mode, humans are no longer restricted by chakra attributes, but can use chakra of any attribute.

In this state, there is almost no limit to the bloodline limit.

"Elder Xia Le is resting in the tent. I'll take you there!"

Water stop.

"Then it's up to you!"

Orochimaru smiled.

After a while.

Orochimaru sat cross-legged in front of Xia Le, looking at him who looked calm.

After careful perception, although he was smiling on the surface, he was shocked to the extreme in his heart.

Because he couldn't even feel the existence of chakra in the other person's body.

But how is this possible?

What’s even more incredible is that the other person was clearly sitting there, but I closed my eyes and couldn’t sense him at all.

It's as if it has become one with nature.

"Why did you suddenly think of coming to my place today?"

Xia Le asked with a smile.

As he spoke, he refilled the cup in front of Orochimaru with tea.

"I'm leaving Konoha!"

Orochimaru said softly.

"Oh?"

"Where are you going?"

Xia Le's expression remained unchanged, he just asked with a faint smile.

"I'm not sure yet, but I think we should find a place that is more suitable for experiments!"

"The more I study the cell genes of the first generation and the Uchiha, the more interested I become."

Orochimaru chuckled.

"It seems you have discovered something too."

Xia Le said.

"You should know better than me!"

Orochimaru suddenly asked.

A powerful secret technique like the Sage Mode was given to him without anyone cherishing it. This was a huge gesture.

"I do know something."

Xia Le didn't hide it and nodded directly.

Hearing this, Orochimaru was silent at first, thought for a while, and then spoke directly.

"Can you show me?"

"What they will look like after merging!"

Xia Le's expression remained calm, and without hesitation, he nodded gently: "Okay!"

Orochimaru's pupils contracted.

These two simple words represent an extremely heavy meaning.

This directly revealed a fact that shocked him, that is, the man in front of him might have successfully fused the cells of Hashirama Senju and Uchiha.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru's body couldn't help but begin to tremble slightly, and then his eyes looked forward with anticipation.

The next second, he clearly saw that the other person's black and white eyes had changed.

It was as if a stone was thrown into a calm lake, ripples spread out and formed circles of lines.

Mysterious and majestic, like the eyes of a god.

"This is?!"

Orochimaru's eyes widened in shock.

"The Samsara Eye! Also known as the Eye of the Immortal!"

Xia Le said softly.

"Unlike Nagato's eyes, which belong to someone else, your own power can be switched at will."

As soon as he finished speaking, the gleam in his eyes disappeared.

"of course."

"That's not all!"

When Orochimaru heard these words, he went completely crazy, even fanatical.

"What else?"

Xia Le did not answer directly, but asked with a smile: "Do you remember the secret method of practicing the Sage Mode that I gave you?"

Orochimaru was stunned: "Of course!"

"In fact, I came here to thank you for your gift."

"It allows me to see a more distant future and a wider world!"

Xia Le smiled slightly: "That's just the beginning!"

"start?!"

Orochimaru's pupils contracted as he waited for the other party's next words.

"The entry to a path of cultivation begins!"

"I call it the induction of air!"

Xia Le said softly.

Orochimaru blinked, not understanding for a moment.

"Don't you understand?"

Xia Le was speechless.

In his eyes, Orochimaru was considered very knowledgeable about this world, but he was obviously still unfamiliar with this new path.

"Let me explain it this way!"

"Sage Mode is just to absorb the special energy existing in nature into the body through special methods to gain temporary strength!"

"To increase the power of ninjutsu and taijutsu!"

"But in this mode, the main energy inside the human body is still chakra!"

"But the energy level of chakra itself is very different from that of natural energy!"

"What if we abandon chakra as energy and replace all the energy in our body with natural energy?"

"That is, what will happen?"

A very clear sentence reached Orochimaru's ears, causing his whole body to tremble and his eyes to become dazed.

This time, he completely understood.

Abandon chakra and infuse natural energy into the body, using it as the main energy for running ninjutsu and techniques.

But is this really possible?
If we really achieve this, can humans still be called human beings?

However, when Orochimaru slowly raised his head and saw the figure sitting cross-legged in front of him with a calm smile on his face, he was suddenly stunned.

Then, his heart began to beat faster.

"It's difficult, it's difficult, can it be you?!"

Facing Orochimaru's words and expression, Xia Le nodded slowly.

“Yes, I tried this path and achieved good results!”

Then, his eyes changed again.

Circles of lines emerged, with nine magatama hanging above them.

It is the Nine-Magneto Samsara Eye!

"Those eyes!!!"

"You are already an immortal!!"

Orochimaru said in shock.

At this moment, he had no idea what to feel in his heart. It was like a pilgrimage, fanatical and shocking.

It’s like seeing a living god standing before you.

"No, no, no, you can't say that yet."

"I did embark on this new path, smashing the projection of the Chakra Divine Tree in my body and replacing it with the World Tree formed by natural energy."

"I gained great power by running natural energy through my body!"

"But I can't even call myself an immortal. I can only say that the standard of my life has been elevated on this basis."

Xia Le said with a chuckle.

Orochimaru was speechless for a long time.

At this moment, he seemed to have seen a whole new world.

“Can I take this path?”

Xia Le smiled and said, "That depends on whether you are willing to give up everything in the past!"

"And the first thing to be shattered is all the power you have at this moment!"

Orochimaru's body trembled and his expression froze.

This is undoubtedly a difficult question.

"Will you, no, will you guide me?"

Soon, Orochimaru asked again tremblingly.

This kind of immortal way can be called an immortal sect. Even if one has to give up everything to enter it, there seems to be no need to hesitate at all.

“I founded this path to guide the world.”

Xia Le smiled and nodded.

"I am willing!"

"Please help me, sir!"

Orochimaru didn't hesitate, he knelt on his knees and pressed his forehead against the ground.

"Then, are you willing to fulfill your duty as a preacher for this new path of mine?"

Xia Le asked again.

Hearing this, Orochimaru raised his head suddenly, his eyes filled with excitement: "I wish to pass on this immortal way in my lifetime!"

Xia Le nodded with satisfaction.

"Back then, when the sacred tree was planted in this world and chakra was born in the human body, the projection of the sacred tree took root in the human blood and soul."

“So, if you want to practice a completely new path, you must first defeat the projection of the sacred tree!”

"Although I shattered my own sacred tree projection and embarked on a new path, I am still pondering the paths of others."

"So, Orochimaru, you may have to wait for a while."

Hearing this, Orochimaru did not show any dissatisfaction, but said in awe.

"You have created a sect of immortals. Your achievement is unprecedented and will never be surpassed!"

"I can still afford to wait for this long!"

Xia Le nodded slightly and then pointed to a road.

"You should go to the Rain Country first. When you get there, someone will take you there!"

Orochimaru heard this and nodded thoughtfully.

After a moment, he turned and left.

But the shock I got today has completely overturned everything in this life!
A brand new road appeared before his eyes.
