Although he knew what Uchiha You was going to do, his jump still scared Miwa Masayo.
The tabby cat quickly ran to the crater, braved the hot eruption flow, stuck its head out to look down, and was relieved after just one glance.
It turns out that as the eruption completely exhausted, the lava in the crater was gradually lowering in height, leaving many platforms formed by solidified lava inside the spacious crater, stacked like oyster mushrooms.
Through the twisted erupting heat and billowing volcanic ash, Miwa Masaya saw Uchiha Yu, who was on a platform close to the middle.
Uchiha You did not sit cross-legged but stood, with his legs slightly apart, his hands hanging naturally, his body upright, like a green pine on the top of a mountain, appearing and disappearing in the billowing gray smoke.
Seeing that his owner was fine, Miwa Masayo breathed a sigh of relief and quietly left the crater.
She takes her owner's words very seriously. Since she is asked to stay alert and work on getting familiar with her own abilities, Miwa Masayo will carry out his orders without hesitation.
The tabby cat thought about it, turned its head and licked the base of its front paws. Eight special cat hairs hung down from its barbed tongue, each of which was as straight as a needle.
The kitten's tongue has a very keen sense of touch, so she knows the number when she licks. She then mobilizes her natural energy that has been accumulated for a long time and injects it into these eight special cat hairs one by one.
Under Uchiha Yu's guidance, Miwa Masaya also began to accumulate natural energy in his body, and natural energy was divided into two types.
The vast majority of it is the natural energy flowing in her meridians, which she absorbs and gathers from nature bit by bit.
If there is enough natural energy stored in the body, there is no need to temporarily draw it from the environment during battle, so the efficiency of use is naturally greatly increased.
In fact, this is an ability possessed by the three great sages in the three holy places and the Six Paths Sage.
Except for these four great sages, Fukasaku and Shima of Myōbokusan, the three sages Tanashima-samahime, Ichikishima-samahime and Tsuzu-samahime of Ryuchi Cave, and Nekosuke of Cat Castle, none of them can do it.
Natural energy and chakra have a strong affinity. When natural energy gathers to a certain level, it will bypass cells and chakras and aggregate into fairy chakra.
If one fails to practice Senjutsu and cannot control Senjutsu Chakra, this extremely powerful and active supernatural force will transform the released cells into specific substances, such as stone.
For a life form that possesses chakra, natural energy is far more dangerous than any poison.
Miwa Masayo referred to Uchiha Yu's method of isolating meridians and completed the internal storage of natural energy in advance, which greatly surpassed most immortals.
She also got a hint from Uchiha You, using the Howling Moon method to refine the stored natural energy and extract natural energy that was completely under her control.
And it is stored in the convergence core of the meridians, which is approximately between the chest and abdomen of the tabby cat.
This natural energy is not much, but it has incredible and wonderful effects.
For example, the magic that Miwa Masayo is currently performing.
Immortal Technique: Hair Clone Technique
Eight strands of cat hair that were extremely elastic and straight as needles, filled with natural energy, suddenly bounced off Miwa Masayoshi's tongue, began to expand and change in the air, and when they landed they turned into eight identical tabby cats.
Unlike the Clone Technique or Shadow Clone Technique, the Hair Clone Technique has no chakra fluctuations, but like the Shadow Clone Technique it has a real entity and can use all of Miwa Masayo's ninjutsu and senjutsu.
The hair clone technique not only has the ability to act independently, but also can communicate and accept the entry of the original body consciousness at any time, and deal with various emergencies in a timely manner.
This magic technique doesn't have many weaknesses, except that the body's strength is quite poor and the resilience to withstand blows is insufficient.
But if it is used for guarding, there is absolutely no problem.
He ordered eight good cat clones to go in eight directions to carry out defense work on the island from the periphery, while Miwa Masayo himself found a depression.
There is a lot of lava accumulated here, and because the amount is so large, it has not solidified yet.
The tabby cat pulled away the solidified black rock crust, revealing the red lava underneath.
When she saw the lava up close and felt the hot radiation, her instinctive reaction was to jump up high and instantly land more than ten meters away.
After Sanlun Yashi landed, it took her half a minute to regain her composure. She finally realized the problem that the owner mentioned.
As a fairy who controls the natural energy of fire spirits, her body has long ceased to be afraid of flames.
Now he can even freely control the pure white flame, which not only serves as an extension of his claws, but also as a protection for his body.
You know, the pure white flame has a temperature of over 2700 degrees.
How could Miwa Yasyo-sensei, who could touch and use such high temperatures without any obstacles, be harmed by lava at a mere 900 degrees?
This is of course impossible, but she still instinctively avoided the lava, which shows that there is a serious deviation between her body's instincts and physical abilities.
This is indeed a problem, but problems must be solved.
Miwa Masayo returned to the depression, dug up the thin rock crust again, and then jumped up in fright again.
Through repeated training, he gradually eliminated his fear of lava, which should not exist.
Finally, when Miwa Masayo was digging open the rock shell, he controlled his body's instinctive reaction and stayed where he was without jumping up.
The tabby cat's body was trembling, but she smiled happily.
Finally succeeded in subduing my instinct.
The instinct of life is engraved in our genes and is the most basic ability to protect the continuation of life.
Some instincts are maintenance-oriented and are intended to ensure basic survival abilities, such as breathing, swallowing, and feeding, which are required at birth.
Some instincts are protective, intended to minimize fatal injuries, such as a cat's jumping reaction to a green strip or a human's instinctive defensive reaction to a suspected snake.
Without instinctive operation and protection, the possibility of life survival will be greatly reduced.
But the protective instinct matches the level of most life forms. When life itself undergoes an essential improvement, the instinct will in turn become a shackle that restricts the evolution of life.
This is the situation that Miwa Masayo is facing. Uchiha Yu's advice to her is to break the shackles and modify the threshold of life instinct through repeated attempts.
After a day and a night of hard work, Miwa Masayo was finally able to calmly face the sudden appearance of lava when he peeled off the rock crust.
After solving the problem satisfactorily, the tabby cat hesitated for a long time in front of the lava, and finally put its claws further into the lava.
But at the moment of insertion, the tabby cat couldn't help but let out a scream of "meow", and at the same time turned over, relying solely on the strength of its body to throw itself several meters away.
"Haha, another instinct that needs to be overcome, meow..."
Miwa Masayo stood up and looked at her claws with a wry smile. She had just inserted them into the lava and did not suffer any damage. Even her soft hair was not ignited by the lava.
She understood that her body had completely adapted to fire and was immune to damage from fire within a wide temperature range.
Even the hair that is most susceptible to ignition is no exception.
This is the result of natural energy being stored in the body for a long time. In the process of being exposed to natural energy, the body gradually adapts and becomes immortal.
Other great immortals all came into contact with immortal chakra and relied on a long period of time to slowly transform their bodies, which is how they became immortals.
As the immortalization continues, more special features will appear, such as extended lifespan, slower rhythm of life state, enhanced affinity to the natural environment, etc.
All of these require a long time. Immortals will naturally adapt to and get used to all changes, and even the time scale will become longer. This is a unique feeling of the immortals.
However, Miwa Masayo's approach was completely different. After solving the problem of storing natural energy, she actively adapted her body to natural energy through Xiaoyue practice and achieved the evolution into an immortal ahead of time.
The speed at which her body transformed into an immortal was too fast. She completed in just one year what would take other immortals a hundred years to complete. As a result, her consciousness was adapting at a speed that could not keep up with the speed at which her body transformed into an immortal.
The constraints of consciousness on the body are real. Under such circumstances, it will affect the continued evolution of the body and have a hindering effect.
Of course, the effect of this drag is very, very weak now. Maybe it will take three or four years for it to manifest itself in all aspects and be noticed by Miwa Masayo.
Uchiha You, who happened to have just completed the Three Calamities, missed the kitten, and immediately performed summoning techniques to make Miwa Masayo appear in front of him.
At that time, he was in the post-disaster period when his senses were most acute, so he was keenly aware of Miwa Masayo's problem and discovered the imperceptible drag on his consciousness.
This is why there is advice before entering the crater.
Miwa Masayo took a deep breath, returned to the depression, inserted his claws into the lava again, and continued his training to overcome his instincts.
…
While the Cat Hermit was working with all his might, Uchiha You had already been immersed in the changes in his own body.
On the first day, he did nothing, nothing needed to be done.
His body was like a greedy glutton, brutally devouring all the natural energy from the outside world, even significantly accelerating the decline of the volcano.
Uchiha You had never imagined that his body could hold such a large amount of natural energy.
Such a huge amount of natural energy can be condensed and harmonized in the body's meridians and quickly transformed into natural energy that one can accept.
The absorption and transformation process continued throughout the day.
In the evening, Uchiha You felt the pain of his meridians being torn apart. He even felt the illusion that his body was beginning to swell, but his body continued to absorb natural energy.
This made him panic, but his intuition gave him no warning.
Uchiha You could only comfort himself: "It's okay. Life instinct won't seek death. Only intelligent creatures will."
"No problem..."
After dark, the pain began to intensify. The ubiquitous tearing sensation drained away Uchiha You's strength, making him unable to stand any longer and forced to sit down.
The pain prevented him from sitting cross-legged, so he could only lie flat on the rock weakly. The heat from the rock behind him was transferred to his body, making him feel slightly better.
But the severe pain continued, coming in waves, and each wave felt noticeably more intense.
Moreover, the impact force is heading towards the core point of the body, and natural energy is converging towards the dantian, which is between illusion and reality, squeezing inwards with all its might.
After realizing this, Uchiha You had a flash of inspiration. He no longer endured it bitterly, but sank his mind into the Purple Mansion World and then fell down.
Following the mysterious connection between the Dantian rising and the opening of the Purple Palace, Uchiha You's consciousness fell into the Dantian.
At this moment, the Dantian is no longer the puddle of clear water it once was, but is now filled with five-colored liquefied natural energy.
Because the red fire spirit's natural energy accounts for the largest proportion, the dantian after the five colors are integrated appears to be a reddish gold as a whole, which is very beautiful.
It was precisely because of the coexistence of the five colors of light that Uchiha You was able to sense the creepy pressure wave in the different light color shock waves.
But as he watched, Uchiha You couldn't help but mutter: "Why is it so messy?"
"This is a mess with no focus and no order. I don't know what the purpose is, but no matter what they want to do, it's not okay to be so chaotic."
Thinking that this was his own Dantian, Uchiha You couldn't help but say, "I don't know if it can be straightened out. I should be able to control my Dantian, right?"
Suddenly, the chaotic Brownian-like pressure waves disappeared, and then exploded at the same time, causing countless resonances and interference waves.
It really works!
Uchiha You was overjoyed. He immediately began to direct the generation of pressure waves, constantly adjusting the position and judging the results of the adjustments by the interference patterns of the ripples.
He had already guessed what would happen in his Dantian, but he didn't know which vibration wave could provide the greatest pressure. He could only keep trying based on the ripple interference pattern.
What Uchiha You suddenly thought of was pressure. All the efforts of his body had originally had only one possible goal to achieve, and that was to form a high-pressure area in his dantian.
But he had no idea how high the pressure in this high-pressure area was. He could only try continuously to see what limit he could reach.
According to Uchiha You's understanding, the more orderly the interference patterns are, the more precise the distribution of the pressure waves will be, and the higher the central pressure generated will be.
As the number of attempts increased, he found that the more circular the interference pattern was, the stronger the central boost effect was.
But it was these increasingly beautiful circular interference patterns that reminded him of the ignition method of a certain type of mushroom. The implosion method seemed to be the strongest central pressurization method.
His mind was racing, and without any further thought, a spherical pressure wave formed in his dantian.
At the beginning, Uchiha You used natural energy to vibrate Dantian from the outside, forming a heart-shaped bell sound to suppress it.
Now, the body, according to his intention, introduces natural energy into Dantian, first impacts the surroundings, triggers the echo, and then follows the echo to impact the center.
It was this first attempt that produced an exquisitely flawless spherical interference wave. The sphere was covered with hexagonal wave structures, which were continuously generated inwards layer by layer.
Each layer of spherical interference waves is smaller than the previous layer, but the hexagonal waveforms above are exactly the same size, which causes the reduction of the sphere to show a beautiful pattern.
Uchiha thought that it would eventually form a three-dimensional structure with one side being a hexagon, but he immediately realized that a hexagon has only one side and cannot form a three-dimensional structure.
Just when he was wondering, the thing condensed in the center of the interference wave had already appeared. Of course, it was not the smallest hexagonal interference wave, but a point that he could not understand.
This dot is emitting light, the light is not strong, but it conveys an incomprehensible amount of information.
Uchiha You felt that this light spot was a channel, through which a huge information source was transmitting part of the information to him.
But he couldn't understand the specific meaning.
Just after the light spot appeared, the layers of interference waves were suddenly sucked over.
An extremely tiny bead appeared without any warning.
As Uchiha You was concentrating on watching, he didn't even notice the process of the bead appearing.
It just appeared so abruptly, as if there was no process at all.
With the bead as the center, liquefied natural energy gathered crazily, and the bead grew rapidly visible to the naked eye.
As the bead grew in size, its golden color became more and more obvious, making Uchiha You dizzy.
It’s not that his eyesight is poor, because the “seeing” at this time is just a habitual description, and now his senses only have spiritual perception.
Even Uchiha You's dizziness was not caused by the strong golden light of the bead, but by his own soul screaming madly: "Golden Pill!"
Gold is a hard, indestructible substance; elixir is a perfect, bright, pure and flawless substance.
The term "golden elixir" was originally used to describe the spiritual realm of practitioners, reaching the so-called stage of perfect and bright true spiritual nature.
But in the immortal cultivation system, the golden elixir is a real existence.
The seed of the great way is formed by taking the heavenly rules contained in the cultivation method as the core and condensing the three treasures of the cultivator's essence, energy and spirit as the base material.
The existence of the golden elixir is real, but it is not material. Just like the elixir field, it is between illusion and reality, becoming the link of communication between practitioners and the Tao.
The moment the golden elixir was formed, Uchiha You felt as if he had an extra eye and could see the other side of the world.
Those are various world rules, densely packed, intertwined and interconnected with each other, like a net, encompassing everything without missing a single thing.
Including Uchiha Yu himself.
He was extremely certain that, although he didn't know how many rules there were in the world, each one of them was closely or slightly related to him, without exception.
One of the rules that is most closely related to himself has the same characteristics as the information revealed by the light spot before the golden elixir appeared.
Obviously, the core rule of his golden elixir is this one, but he doesn't know why.
But this is not important. What is important is that this golden elixir is really a golden elixir!
Uchiha Yu was ecstatic, chanting repeatedly in his heart:
Once I swallow a golden pill, my life will be in my own hands.
Uchiha You knew that the original text of this poem was not Jindan, but he felt that he had to say it this way because it was in line with his situation.
He is not Master Zi Yang, he is Uchiha You!
