Heart of Steel Half-Morph Sword Saint, Madara is willing to call me the strongest

The southern border of the Fire Nation.

A black-robed figure was rushing towards the southwest.

Uchiha Yi has already obtained the coordinates of the Ryuchi Cave, as well as a share of fairy arts training experience provided by Orochimaru.

Orochimaru can teleport directly to Ryuchi Cave through the reverse summoning technique, but Uchiha Yi can only travel a long distance and travel by manpower.

Uchiha Yi has carefully read the method of practicing immortal arts provided by Orochimaru.

Although Orochimaru failed to successfully practice the immortal technique, he still summed up a lot of experience from his failure.

Myoboku Mountain, Ryuchi Cave, and Shimokotsu Forest all have their own magic. The magic of Jiraiya, Minato, and Naruto originated from the toad clan of Myoboku Mountain.

Although the cultivation methods of the three holy places are different, the key points are the same.

The core of practicing immortal arts is to master natural energy.

The reason why Orochimaru failed to successfully master the Sage Mode was because he was unable to control the violent natural energy.

During the Fourth Ninja World War, Kabuto Yakushi successfully mastered the magic of the Ryuchi Cave. As for why he was able to successfully control natural energy, Uchiha Yi was not sure.

But what is certain is that Kabuto Yakushi did not have any special talents. When he was in his twenties, he was only at the level of a jonin. It was not until after Orochimaru's death that he transformed his body, and his strength improved by leaps and bounds, and he also learned fairy techniques.

Based on this, it can be inferred that the cultivation of immortal arts in Longdi Cave may place great emphasis on physical fitness.

Two days later, Uchiha Yi arrived at Ryuchi Cave.

This is a mountain shrouded in thick rain and fog. The mountain is covered with thick moss. The trees are sparse but extremely tall, with branches twisted and stretching towards the sky. The rock surfaces are covered with moss and vines.

In the distance, the mountains are undulating, covered by thick clouds, with only a few sharp peaks showing. The drizzle keeps falling, blending with the surrounding fog, making the vision blurred.

Uchiha Yi walked into the cloud and the temperature around him suddenly dropped several degrees. A gust of cold wind blew and an eerie atmosphere filled the air.

As he went deeper, the surrounding environment became more bizarre and unpredictable.

"Swish—"

Three giant snakes the size of human bodies suddenly appeared in front of Uchiha Yi.

They snaked out, spitting out tongues, the giant snakes were covered with smooth scales, reflecting a faint light in the rain and fog, and their eyes were like two burning rubies, flashing a cold gaze,

"Excuse me, I'm Uchiha Yi, introduced by Orochimaru."

Uchiha Yi looked directly at the three-headed giant snake in front of him with a calm expression.

After being in contact with Orochimaru for a long time, he is no longer so sensitive to snakes.

"Are you Uchiha Yi?"

Three giant snakes slowly surrounded him, their snake eyes fixed on Uchiha Yi.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

After three consecutive bursts of light smoke, the three giant snakes transformed into three graceful bodies.

These three women had graceful figures and beautiful faces. They looked at Uchiha Yi with curious eyes and seemed to be very interested in him.

"The three of us have been waiting for you for a long time. I am Tian Xin Shen Ji, welcome to Long Di Cave."

The woman who was speaking had long green hair and skin, wore a white gown, and a golden crown with a golden ball on top, golden vertical pupils, and red eyeshadow that extended to the wings of her nose.

Uchiha Yi glanced at the woman.

The three people in front of him should be the elder-level confidants of the White Snake Immortal. Don’t be fooled by their dignified and beautiful appearance now. Anyone who comes to Longdi Cave and fails the trial will be devoured by them.

"I'm Ichikishima-hime, and we knew you were coming."

The woman's voice was gentle and pleasant, like a clear mountain spring.

The last woman smiled at Uchiha Yi and said, "I am Princess Tsujin. Please come with us. The White Snake Immortal is waiting for you."

"White Snake Immortal wants to see me directly? Without going through the test in the Longdi Cave?"

Uchiha Yi was slightly stunned. According to the process he expected, he should have to go through three trials next, one of which was an illusion trial. For this, he had prepared for two days in advance.

Tian Xinshen Ji, who was standing on the right, replied: "You don't have to participate in the trial. The White Snake Sage can predict the future. She said that you are an existence that will change the ninja world, so she specially ordered us to come and welcome you."

Uchiha Yi was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that the White Snake Immortal would predict him. The ability to predict the future was simply incredible.

He sorted out his thoughts, followed the three women, and set out on the road to the White Snake Immortal's cave.

As he gradually went deeper into the mountains, Uchiha Yi discovered that the surrounding scenery began to change. The thick fog gradually dissipated, the originally gloomy mountains gradually became brighter, and the air became much fresher.

Not long after, a solemn temple appeared in front of Uchiha Yi. Its existence seemed to be isolated from the world and looked very mysterious.

Following the three-headed female snake, Uchiha Yi walked into the temple. There were towering ancient trees in the temple and winding stone steps. As they stepped onto the stone steps, bursts of bells rang in the temple.

After reaching the top of the stairs, Uchiha Yi saw the White Snake Immortal - it was a huge white phosphorus snake, coiled in the center of a wide space, holding a long pipe in its mouth and exhaling wisps of smoke.

The snake form of the White Snake Immortal still retains orange hair, a green cat's eye on her chest, a purple silk ribbon as a forehead protector, and a military green horn-shaped ornament on the front of the forehead protector. There are also two golden rings on her tail, which looks very strange.

"White Snake Immortal..."

Uchiha Yi muttered to himself, staring at the huge body in front of him.

The White Snake Immortal slowly raised its head and said in a gentle voice: "Welcome, Uchiha Yi, I have been waiting for your arrival."

"White Snake Immortal, I was introduced by Orochimaru to come to the Ryuchi Cave to learn immortal arts."

The Uchiha spoke calmly.

The White Snake Immortal stared at Uchiha Yi for a long time, exhaled a puff of smoke from his mouth, and said: "Your origin is very strange, even I can't figure out your roots. I have never met a human ninja like you, it's really interesting."

"I already know your purpose, follow me."

The body of the White Snake Immortal trembled, and after a puff of smoke, the huge snake body transformed into an old woman in a white gown, who slowly walked into the depths of the temple.

Uchiha Yi followed her without hesitation.

After entering a temple, the White Snake Sage turned to look at Uchiha Yi, took a puff of cigarette, and slowly said: "There are two ways to practice the Dragon Earth Cave Sage Technique. The first method is the simplest. I can directly transfer natural energy into your body. As long as your body can withstand the invasion of natural energy, you can quickly master the Sage Mode."

"What about the second one?"

The Uchiha asked directly.

The first method seems simple, but it is obviously very risky. He doesn't want to be killed by the explosion of natural energy.

"The second way is to practice immortal arts step by step until your body can sense and control natural energy. Come here. This stone tablet contains the method of practicing immortal arts."

The White Snake Immortal pointed at a huge black stone tablet.

"Just take your time here and read it. If you have any questions, you can come to me again."

"Thank you very much."

"Don't thank me. We at Longdi Cave may still need your help in the future."

Blowing out a puff of smoke, the White Snake Immortal looked deeply at Uchiha Yi and said in a hoarse voice: "In the future I foresee, you will change the entire ninja world, and even the three holy places will find it difficult to stay out of it. I hope that by then you can remember the help our Ryuchi Cave has given you."

"I will."

Uchiha Yi nodded slightly.

Uchiha Yi was also quite curious about what the White Snake Immortal said about predicting the future, but he did not ask more questions.
