Maples found that bringing Lin was very useful.
Most of the creatures living in Mount Myoboku were insects, and he was not Bear Grylls, who stood at the top of the food chain. These creatures were simply unappetizing. With Lin around, every meal was basically a normal human meal.
Moreover, they wouldn't interfere with his cultivation. He could devote all his time to cultivation and didn't need to waste time on food.
Five days of cultivation.
Under the accelerated time, it took him 25 days.
It was much faster than cultivating the Dragon Ground Cave immortal technique. This was naturally because he was much more familiar with the Mount Myoboku immortal technique after cultivating the Dragon Ground Cave immortal technique.
After cultivating the Mount Myoboku immortal technique, Maples didn't rush to the Wetbone Forest. Instead, he began a 'death-seeking' cultivation attempt.
He first activated the Mount Myoboku immortal technique.
Then, he used the Dragon Ground Cave immortal technique on top of the Mount Myoboku immortal technique.
The result was …
Bang!
Natural energy violently clashed in his body, almost causing his body to explode.
After that, Maples began a second death-seeking attempt. This time, he let half of his body accommodate the Mount Myoboku immortal technique and the other half accommodate the Dragon Ground Cave immortal technique. The result was also a failure.
His body almost split from the middle.
The Mount Myoboku immortal technique and the Dragon Ground Cave immortal technique seemed to be related to the Yin Yang Escape Art. One leaned towards softness and the other leaned towards toughness. However, they couldn't be combined just by squeezing them together.
In his last attempt, he used the Hundred Tycoon Technique on top of his cell activation to combine the two states. This time, he barely managed to achieve a weak balance.
He appeared to be in a somewhat strange state.
The coexistence of the two immortal modes made his aura seem extremely heavy.
However.
This state didn't last long. It only lasted for a few seconds before it couldn't be maintained anymore and completely collapsed.
Although he could maintain this state if he used Time Reversal, it didn't mean much to Maples. This was because under the dual immortal mode, the strength he could display wasn't much different from the fifth of the Eight Gates Lightning Escape Art.
It was even weaker in terms of speed and power. It was just that his perception was stronger.
This wasn't what he wanted.
What he wanted was a perfect immortal body that could be combined with the power of the Eight Gates Hidden Art.
"Let's go, Lin."
"Let's go to the Wetbone Forest."
Maples didn't stay any longer and quickly left with Lin.
As for Maples's departure, the Great Toad Immortal finally let out a sigh of relief. These days, he had been a little worried about Maples staying here.
…
Time flew.
Forty-seven years of Konoha passed.
Too many things have happened this year. Golden Flash's name shook the Shinobi world, Silver Flash's return, Fourth Hokage's birth, Seven Legendary Swordsmen's death …
However, this year still passed.
Time did not change with any events. It was like a never-ending river that kept flowing forward.
Half a month after leaving Mount Myoboku, Maples and Lin arrived at Shikkotsu Forest.
The immortal techniques of the Shikkol Forest were much easier to obtain. The slug's personality was much better than the reserved Immortal Toad and the treacherous Immortal White Snake.
After obtaining the immortal technique, Feng Ye also started cultivating in the forest. This time, it only took him three days to complete the immortal technique.
Of course.
On the surface, it was only three days, but in fact, nearly half a month has passed.
"The last piece of the puzzle is complete."
After finally completing the Shikkol Forest Immortal Technique and entering Sage Mode, Maples opened his eyes.
At this time, his face was wearing the Sage mask. His appearance didn't change much, but there was a sticky white liquid flowing out of his body.
Whoosh!
With a thought, Maples's body suddenly collapsed and turned into a slug on the ground, then reorganized in one direction and reformed into his body.
As he expected, Mount Myoboku's Senjutsu directly enhances ninjutsu and taijutsu, Ryuchi Cave's Senjutsu focuses on perception and body softening, and Mount Myoboku's Senjutsu focuses on splitting and vitality enhancement.
"Only the perfect form of Mount Myoboku's Sage Mode is acceptable."
Maples looked at his own state and complained.
Without considering other aspects, the immortal techniques of the three holy lands and the immortal mode of the Shikkotsu Forest were the most useless to him. This was because he had the ability to reverse time. He did not need to rely on the splitting of his body to increase his life force.
This state.
At most, it can only serve as a lubricant.
"Then … Let's start the real practice!"
Maple Night dispelled the Shikbone Forest Immortal Technique, and his body returned to its normal state. He also used Time Reversal to fix his sticky clothes. Then, he sat down cross-legged.
Using cell activation as the foundation.
Using Baihao Technique as the container.
Using the three holy lands as the potion.
Maples closed his eyes and the chakra in his body began to move. The natural chakra that filled the Shikkol Forest began to flow toward him.
Under his very subtle control.
One-third of the chakra fused with Mount Myoboku's Senjutsu, another third with Ryuchi Cave's Senjutsu, and the last third with Shikkol Forest's Senjutsu.
The chakra was divided into three, forming three different Senjutsu chakra. Under the control of Baihao Technique and Shikkol Forest's Senjutsu, they were constantly rotating and fusing.
This time.
The entire fusion process didn't cause too much of a stir.
Compared to his previous attempts, the fusion of Ryuchi Cave and Mount Myoboku's Senjutsu was much easier. Shikkol Forest's Senjutsu indeed served as a lubricant.
It allowed the 'dry' Ryuchi Cave and Mount Myoboku's Senjutsu to fuse together almost perfectly. There was no conflict like before.
Weng!
Maples suddenly opened his eyes.
A faint golden light burst out from his body. It was the light born from the combination of the three Sage Modes. This light covered his clothes and caused a faint golden robe to appear outside his body. The robe had faint golden Senjutsu patterns and patterns.
"This is … the perfect Sage Mode."
Maples stood up and felt his current state. He took a deep breath.
He could feel that in this state, he had all the characteristics of the three holy lands at the same time. His body was no longer affected.
Above the three Sage Modes, this is the true perfect Sage Mode!
No one has ever mastered the Senjutsu of the three holy lands at the same time, and no one has ever dared to use the Senjutsu of the three holy lands at the same time. This is something that only Maples, who has the ability to reverse time, has done. He is the only person in the Shinobi World who has mastered the perfect Sage Mode!
"Sure enough, it's just as I expected."
Maples whispered.
He could feel that in this Sage Mode, the perfect combination of the three Senjutsu chakra was active in every cell in his body. This constantly rotating energy was tempering the cells in his body and transforming his physique.
In this perfect Sage Mode, the chakra in his body was flowing, and the three Senjutsu were constantly rotating, and this flow meant that the body was being tempered.
This is indeed the path to the Sage Mode!
