On the dragon-shaped throne, the White Snake Sage was coiled up. His eyes were as deep as a bottomless lake. Just by looking at him, one could feel the bone-piercing coldness.
"What is it?" Aoyama opened his eyes wide and looked at the White Snake Sage, wanting to know what he wanted to do.
"It's very simple. Tell me the source of the weather on your body."
Weather?
Aoyama's clear eyes turned, revealing a puzzled expression. Aoyama was a bit confused. Does the underground cave change according to the weather? Or is it referring to something else?
Mysterious Snake was also very confused. He clearly remembered that the White Snake Sage was very casual when it came to imparting immortal techniques. Basically, he didn't reject anyone who came. However, there weren't many people who could actually come to the Ryuchi Cave.
According to what the seniors said, the White Snake Sage did have conditions for imparting immortal techniques. It was nothing more than the number of live sacrifices needed. The threshold wasn't high at all, especially for Aoyama. To be able to gain the favor of Mysterious Snake Sage, how could his murderous nature be light?
However, the condition that the White Snake Sage brought up really made him confused. Weather? What is that? However, he didn't dare to question the White Snake Sage and could only look at Aoyama with wide eyes.
The problem was that Aoyama was also pondering at this moment. What exactly is this weather? However, no matter how much he thought about it, he still couldn't figure it out. Thus, he raised his head and looked at the White Snake Sage.
"Sage's words are too profound. Forgive me for being stupid and unable to understand. Sage, please enlighten me. "
The White Snake Sage puffed out a cloud of smoke for a while before speaking. "Before Mysterious Snake summoned you to the Ryuchi Cave, what were you doing?"
This sentence was like a thunderbolt that finally woke up Aoyama's mind. He came to the Ryuchi Cave for no reason and only thought about immortal techniques. He didn't think about what he was doing before this. Being summoned to the Ryuchi Cave like this, could it be that something bad happened?
Aoyama lowered his eyebrows and pursed his lips tightly. Cloud Ninja, Rock Ninja, the battlefield, Cat Demon … his memories slowly came back.
Qin Wentian thought back to the unforeseen event on the battlefield. The first time he tried to use the Ascension of Constellations, he was able to control the boundless power of constellations. At the start, everything went smoothly, causing the wind and clouds to gather, causing the heavens and earth to change color.
But soon, he lost control. To be precise, it was as though he had lost his emotions. It was as though he saw his other self using Celestial Phenomenon, summoning wind, clouds, thunder, and lightning. Everything was so clear, yet it felt so unfamiliar.
The huge disparity almost made him feel suffocated, but he was still moving and fighting Second Last. He didn't move a single step and instead rode Celestial Phenomenon to attack Second Last. At last, he forced her to use her bijudama.
Even when he faced the bijudama in the end, he did not fall into a disadvantageous position. He almost used up all the wind in the sky and clashed head-on with the bijudama. Who would have thought that Profound Snake would hastily recall him to the Ryuchi Cavern?
For some reason, Aoyama's Bankai had disappeared. She had forgotten what had just happened and started chatting with Mysterious Snake as soon as she arrived at the Ryuchi Cave.
"I don't quite understand. It's a bit messy." Aoyama reached out and rubbed between his eyebrows. His mind raced, but he still couldn't figure out what had happened. He had no choice but to look at White Snake Sage. Since White Snake Sage had given him some pointers, she might know something.
"Show me your Celestial Phenomenon ability. Let me have a good look." White Snake Sage's tone was calm. After giving the order, she stopped talking and stared at Aoyama with her snake eyes.
After a moment of hesitation, Aoyama pulled out the Hyorinmaru from his waist. The blade was as white as snow. It was so cold that it couldn't be warmed no matter how hard he tried.
He was also puzzled. Why did the Ascension of Constellations change like that? He wanted to talk to Hyorinmaru, but he couldn't find the time. The location wasn't suitable. White Snake Sage was watching. He was also very interested in the weather.
"Bankai, Daiguren Hyorinmaru."
Cold air surged, covering the smooth limestone floor with a thin layer of white frost. Aoyama's body turned into ice again. He flapped the Ice Wings on his back and flew into the air. His right arm held the Hyorinmaru in its mouth. With a gentle wave, the ceiling of the cave was covered in clouds, even though it was an underground cave.
White Snake Sage's eyes widened. She stretched her snake head out and moved her long body. She moved closer to Aoyama and observed the changes in Aoyama.
After observing for a long time, White Snake Sage breathed out a mouthful of smoke. Aoyama held his breath because of the smoke. With a flash of her blade, a gust of wind blew the smoke away.
"So that's how it is!" White Snake Sage said thoughtfully. She then lazily laid back on the throne and looked at Aoyama with her eyes narrowed.
"You and Mysterious Snake want to learn Senjutsu …" White Snake Sage paused for a moment and looked at the man and snake, "Listen carefully, Senjutsu isn't something that can be learned overnight. Even if you are extremely talented, you will still need several months of effort. During this period of time, you are not allowed to leave the Ryuchi Cave. Do you want to learn it?"
Although White Snake Sage looked a little evil and wasn't a good person, she valued her promises very much. Once she made a promise, she wouldn't go back on it.
After flying down from the sky, Aoyama dispelled the Bankai. He frowned and pondered. Several months of effort, and this was the fastest possible scenario. If he had to stay in the Ryuchi Cave, wouldn't that mean that he wouldn't be able to know what was happening outside?
"Of course, I want to learn it."
Gritting his teeth, Aoyama agreed without any reluctance. After all, strength was the most important thing. The more powerful he became, the clearer he would understand that there was always a mountain taller than him. He couldn't give up on such an important opportunity.
Furthermore, the things happening outside shouldn't be a big problem. He had more or less arranged everything beforehand. His trusted subordinates were also safe and sound, so there shouldn't be any problems.
"Since you want to learn it, then listen carefully. I will first tell you what Senjutsu is." White Snake Sage wasn't surprised, as if she had already predicted Aoyama's choice.
"You should know that other than the Chakra in your body, this world is also filled with natural energy. Senjutsu requires not only the human body's Chakra, but also natural energy. In other words, you need to mix the human body's Chakra and natural energy. Only when the two are mixed together can you refine Senjutsu Chakra, a stronger and more powerful Chakra."
"However, needless to say, the human body's Chakra is naturally present. However, this natural energy isn't something that can be controlled so easily." White Snake Sage spat out a mouthful of smoke and explained unhurriedly. At the same time, she took a glance at the human and snake who were not panting at all.
"In order to control natural energy, you need to have a large amount of Chakra in your body and be able to resist the corrosion of natural energy. If the amount of Chakra in your body is too little, you will be devoured by natural energy in the blink of an eye …"
"What is the consequence of being devoured by natural energy?" Aoyama asked.
"Living dead."
