Having completely defeated the Flame Dragon, Itachi deactivated his Susanoo, returning to looking like an elegant but frail young master.
However he himself and Jasmine knew he was anything but that, after his outburst of power.
"Haha, I'm already able to exert more power than in my last life due to my newfound abilities, this is incredible."
Itachi was overjoyed at his transformation to becoming a powerful being already, however he was shut down by Jasmine.
"Although I don't know how you did that, considering you've only been cultivating for around a month, I assume it was to do with your bloodline, the true foundation of strength will always be your profound energy cultivation, remember this."
Although she said this, secretly Jasmine was still shocked as she was only able to ascertain that Itachi's boost in power came from the strange transformation that occurred with his eyes, and was not sure of anything else.
"Truly an incredible bloodline ability, maybe he really can grow to the point of being able to create waves even in that place, the Realm of the Gods..."
As Itachi and Jasmine both calmed down after the fight, Jasmine still slightly shocked, Itachi decided he might as well enter the cave and find out what sort of treasures this dragon possessed.
Upon entering the cave Itachi felt a strange calling from within, as if there was something deeply linked with his very existence calling to him.
Searching around in the cave he eventually found it, it was a small red bead, which seemed to emit a fiery heat.
As soon as Itachi picked it up he felt Jasmine coming out, who then appeared incomparably shocked.
"T-this is one of the Evil God's seeds, the fire seed... how lucky do you have to be?!"
Itachi responded in confusion,"Evil God's seeds, what are those?"
"The Evil God was the god of all elements and possessed complete and utter control over all of the elements."
Jasmine said this and paused before continuing,
"Five Evil God's seeds are spread through Evil God's Five Secret Grounds that correspond to the five main elements. Only those who had inherited his power would be able to find them. Each Seed will transform his body into a Spirit Evil Body that allows for complete control, absolute immunity, and increased affinity to the corresponding elements. Once all 5 are gathered, the person will gain a complete Spirit Evil Body, allowing control over the elements on the level of the Evil God himself."
Itachi now realised the magnitude of the treasure in front of him eyes, and felt incomparably blessed.
Not only would this allow him incredible powers over fire, and immunity to all fire attacks, it would increase his abilities to use {{Amaterasu}} with him being able now control the flames, rather than just command them to burn at a specific point.
"How do I absorb it?"
"Just swallow it."
Hearing these words from Jasmine Itachi immediately swallowed the Fire Seed, and felt changes occur immediately within his body.
He felt a crimson, red hot energy seemingly flow into his veins, however strangely it didn't burn him.
It made his profound veins look incredibly beautiful when he inspected them.
At the same time Itachi felt his cultivation miraculously shoot up.
3rd level Elementary profound realm
4th level...
5th...
6th...
And so on...
Until finally, Itachi broke through completely into the Nascent profound realm!
Itachi didn't expect this, but at the same time felt ecstatic!
He was now a true cultivator, in every sense of the world.
At the same time as Itachi transcended the Elementary profound realm, reaching Nascent profound, he suddenly felt his consciousness being whisked away, finding himself in a dreamland where he was seemingly in a plane of clouds.
The clouds seemed to stretch infinitely, and he was merely standing on top of this flat, infinite plane of clouds.
In the distance there was a tall tower, shooting straight up to the heavens which was the sole place which wasn't flat in this strange dreamland.
Still confused about where he was, Itachi suddenly heard a voice.
"I promised you a new mangekyo sharingan ability each time you increased your cultivation realm, now has come the time for you to choose your first new ability. You have three choices, {{Kotoamatsukami}}, {{Kamui - Close range}}, or {{Kamui - Long range}}."
Hearing these words Itachi was at first shocked, but then he became even more ecstatic.
A new ability for his mangekyo sharingan would allow him to become even more versatile and do even better on his path to profound strength, and if he truly got a new one each time he increased his realm...
He would be able to become unbelievably strong in no time.
However Itachi was unsure of what to pick, he sat down in meditation, spending the next hour or so contemplating before coming to a decision.
Standing up Itachi said to the seemingly invisible, but divine voice,
"I have decided upon...
{{Kotoamatsukami}}!"
