Chapter 74 Sage Mode Training Method, Cleansing the Three Holy Lands
At dusk and evening, the sun sets over the western mountains.
The warm sunset slowly submerged across the sea.
The scattered sunlight hits the deck, refracting the faint red light.
In the cabin, Kumokawa closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the bed.
"Hiss... Hu..."
He inhaled gently in silence, without deliberately taking a deep breath, but the long and moist air continued to pour into his lungs, as if a whale was swallowing the sea, refreshing and a little damp.
If there were any other persons in this room, they would definitely feel a strong sense of suffocation.
The amount of oxygen stored and used in his body has reached an appalling level.
Generally speaking, breathing this level of oxygen should lead to signs of oxygen toxicity.
But as far as the feeling now is concerned, Kumokawa feels very good now. He never felt so good before.
He could clearly feel the air flowing every minute, and the air flowed through his senses like water.
As he breathes in and out, oxygen enters the lungs from the respiratory tract, blends into the blood, and carbon dioxide is discharged from the body.
The oxygen content of the blood began to surge, combining to produce oxygenated hemoglobin, and the body's hormones began to double in secretion, transported to various parts of the body, supplying cells for cellular respiration, causing metabolism to accelerate.
It was like the stubborn stones in the stream had been washed away, leaving only smooth and moist pebbles.
"Huh!"
After a while, Kumokawa finally opened his eyes, and a mysterious color flashed in his blue eyes.

"Is this the effect of the Pure Eyes and the Transparent World, combined with the Stray Cat and the Breathing Method?"
Kumokawa reached out and gently pressed his chest, feeling the strong and powerful beating of his heart, and then slightly raised one arm and slowly flipped it.
It was like observing something new, something that appeared in front of him for the first time.
The world in his eyes became colorful.
Ribbon-shaped gasses of various colors are flying in the air. No, perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe them as mycelium shapes.
They were like something between invisible and tangible, and would float and disperse in the air because of the stirring of his arms.
Following the swirling force, they entangled and twisted together, and gradually were pulled and reorganized under some force, which made Kumokawa think of the whirlpool in the water.
"The blue one should be nitrogen, and the white-blue one should be oxygen, and there are water vapors and other gasses..."
Kumokawa distinguished the illusory substances in front of him, but his pair of glowing blue pupils suddenly stagnated.
When his fingers touched the almost transparent thread-like gas, he felt a deep chill, which actually penetrated into his body uncontrollably.
The wisp of gas was spreading along his fingers, flowing along one of the meridians, making his fingers gradually turn gray.
It looked like...
"Petrified?"
Feeling his body gradually become stiff, Kumokawa frowned subconsciously: "What the hell is this?"
The [Stray Cat] ability that can control the air is actually unable to control that wisp of something that looks like air.
Intangible and colorless, uncontrollable and uncontainable.
In other words, this is not "gas", but...
"Energy?" Kumokawa's eyes flickered slightly, "The superposition of the Pure Eye and the Transparent World can actually see energy?"
Now that he thought about it, when he used [Transparent World] before, he vaguely saw something similar.
While thinking, Kumokawa mobilized the abundant energy and blood in his body to block the erosion of petrification, and forcefully offset and exhausted the energy.
It wasn't until that trace of white energy dissipated that the petrification completely stopped.
The fingers suddenly shook with bone-piercing strength, instantly breaking off the stone skin attached to the body surface, revealing the bloody muscles and blood vessels underneath.
"This sense of déjà vu..."
After a moment of thinking and recalling, Kumokawa quickly reacted and whispered: "The invasion of natural energy."
If you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
Although he did not practice chakra, he was familiar with the power.
There are 130 trillion cells in the human body, all of which have physical energy and spiritual energy, but not everyone has chakra.
Ordinary chakra is the power that is fused and condensed after the balance of physical energy and mental energy. Only when the two elements are evenly mixed together can ninjutsu, taijutsu and genjutsu be released by consuming a certain amount of chakra.
In Kumokawa's view, this power actually has certain hidden dangers.
Because "Chakra" is not a native product of the ninja world, but a by-product that appeared after the arrival of Kaguya Otsutsuki.
The sacred tree she brought can not only transform natural energy, but also extract physical and spiritual energy from the human body.
This is the origin of chakra.
In contrast, the "natural energy" circulating in the world is the real power of the ninja world.
The Sage Mode used by the three holy places is to absorb natural energy into the body, and then balance it with physical and spiritual energy to form the so-called Sage Chakra.
The ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu that use this power are called Sage Arts or Senjutsu.
The combination of these core abilities seems to have unexpected special effects.
"It's a surprise that the transparent world can detect the existence of natural energy. After all, there will definitely be template abilities that require special energy to be used in the future.."
"The [Energy] column of the main template [Four Dimensions] has always remained at F level. I'm afraid it's because of this." Kumokawa touched his chin thoughtfully, "However, natural energy cannot be used directly..."
The finger was recovering visibly, and he tapped his knees and muttered to himself: "If I don't master the method of converting natural energy, and directly absorb a large amount of natural energy, my body will definitely turn into a stone."
"It seems that I have to find a way to get the practice method of the Sage Mode." Kumokawa's eyes were deep, and he pondered, "Although I don't plan to turn into a toad, snake or slug, it's always good to learn from it."
If you think about it, you will know that their sage mode is not suitable for humans, otherwise there will be no side effects of frog and snake transformation.
Therefore, rather than directly practicing the so-called Sage Mode of the three holy places, he wants to use it to study the method of utilizing natural energy.
While thinking, Kumokawa's eyes suddenly stagnated, and his consciousness sank into his mind.

"Create a sage mode training method and cleanse the three holy places?"
Looking at the stage-based task, Kumokawa narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression became intriguing.
It was the first time he saw such a generous reward, and the time span of the entire task was even as long as 35 years.
"Everyone is like a dragon, you dare to say that."
Kumokawa smiled and stood up and walked to the window, pulling open the curtains and the inner blackout cloth. The red light of the sunset fell into the house, and the tiny dust froze.
Dong! Dong!dong!
The door of the room was suddenly knocked. The knocking frequency had a formulaic rhythm, and it sounded that it was still abiding by discipline and rules.
"Nagato?" Kumokawa said softly without turning back, "Please come in."
As soon as the voice fell, the crisp sound of the door opening came.
"Brother." Nagato's low voice came, "I sense that a large fleet is coming towards us. It doesn't seem to have the intention of giving way. Do I need to temporarily avoid the edge..."
Before he finished speaking, Kumokawa interrupted him.
"Should I avoid his sharp edge?" The rosy glow reflected on his face, Kumokawa said with a smile, "No, no, no, this is a pleasant surprise."
