Chapter 155 The White Snake Immortal
Chapter 155 The White Snake Immortal
A flicker of surprise flashed across Tianxin Shenji's eyes, but she quickly regained her smile and covered her mouth with a light laugh, "Haha, this young man is quite the joker. Isn't this palace in front of you the very main entrance to Ryuchi Cave?"
Princess Tanshin was very confident in her unique illusion technique, "Object Transformation," since it was a special type of illusion magic. She thought Boruto was just testing her and wanted her to reveal her true abilities first.
"Stop using these little tricks on us!" Sasuke said coldly, unwilling to waste any more words on Tashin-hime. His dark pupils turned blood red as he activated his three-tomoe Sharingan, intending to use his powerful eye technique to break the illusion created by Tashin-hime.
Seeing that her illusion had been seen through by these two young brats, Princess Tianxin stopped trying to conceal it and canceled the illusion's effect on them.
As Princess Tianxin dispelled her illusion, the palace illusion behind her twisted and changed before finally vanishing, leaving behind a vast, empty land.
Scattered on the ground are many white bones, clearly evidence that these are cultivators who failed the test of Ryuchi Cave and were ultimately devoured by the Goddess of the Field Heart.
At that moment, Princess Tanshin's appearance completely changed. She revealed her sharp teeth and blue tongue, her face became extremely ferocious, and her eyes were filled with malice as she stared intently at Boruto and Sasuke.
Then, Tashin Shinki fixed her gaze on Boruto and said with a sinister smile, "I thought I would be able to taste fresh chakra after so long. What a pity."
Princess Tianxin never expected that her illusion, enhanced by her divine magic, would have no effect on this brat, let alone make him eat the rotten flesh created by the illusion.
At that moment, a long, thin voice came from within the mist, saying leisurely, "You've lost. They've seen through your illusion."
Princess Tianxin looked unwilling and replied, "I understand!" She knew that only those cultivators who failed the Dragon Cave test would be allowed by the White Serpent Immortal to be devoured.
"Kid, even though you are quite powerful, you can't just see the White Snake Immortal whenever you want."
Princess Tashin left these words for Boruto, and her floating figure began to slowly retreat in the mist, gradually disappearing from Boruto's sight.
Boruto sensed that Princess Tanshin's aura was gradually dissipating along with her figure. His brows furrowed, and he clasped his hands together, slamming them down as he uttered a low shout: "Barrier - Heavenly Canopy Formation!"
As Boruto activated his barrier technique, a transparent spherical sensing barrier rapidly expanded outwards from him. Boruto was also able to freely expand this barrier, thus gaining complete control over and perception of every inch of space within it.
In Boruto's detection barrier, besides Sasuke's chakra, he also sensed the presence of three other figures, including the previously vanished Tashin-hime.
One of the figures inside suddenly rushed towards Boruto as he cast his barrier spell, opening its gaping maw to bite his neck.
Boruto simply turned slightly to the side, dodging Tatsumahime's attack. Then, he grabbed Tatsumahime's shoulder and successfully stopped her.
Princess Tsurugi looked surprised; she hadn't expected that this brat could sense the chakra fluctuations they were hiding while in stealth mode.
Sasuke, however, was not so easy to talk to. Just now, he, who possessed the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, had failed to see through Tashin-hime's genjutsu before Boruto, which left him with a burning anger.
Just as Tadatsuhime attempted to attack Boruto but failed and was stopped by Boruto, Sasuke swiftly drew his Kusanagi sword from his waist, pointing the tip directly at Tadatsuhime, and asked in a cold tone, "Tell me! Where is the White Snake Sage?"
Just as Princess Tsurugi was captured by Boruto, Princess Tashin and Princess Ichikishima suddenly appeared in front of them. Their long, golden pupils were fixed on Boruto and Sasuke, their eyes revealing an undeniable chill.
Boruto was somewhat surprised by Sasuke's strong reaction, so he turned to Tsurugi and said politely, "I apologize for any offense, but please introduce me to the White Snake Sage."
After saying that, Boruto released his grip on Tsutsumi's shoulder and gestured to Sasuke to put away the Kusanagi sword. Now that things had come to this point, it was no longer practical to conduct the experiment properly.
"Hmph." Sasuke snorted coldly when he saw Boruto's gesture, and then sheathed the Kusanagi sword in his hand onto the rope belt behind his back.
Just as Sasuke sheathed the Kusanagi sword, a long and deep voice echoed in the air: "Let them come over."
After hearing the White Snake Sage's instructions, Princess Tsurugi made an inviting gesture and said, "Since the White Snake Sage has spoken, please follow me."
Boruto and Sasuke followed the guidance of Princess Tsurugi and gradually ventured deeper into the temple of Ryuchi Cave, where the scenery was completely different from the outside world.
Dim rays of light emanated from the fluorescent minerals on the rock face, illuminating the winding stone steps leading downwards. Ancient runes and serpentine totems were carved into the stone walls on both sides of the steps.
As they continued deeper, the cave gradually widened, slowly unfolding into a vast underground space, where the air was humid and stuffy.
They could hear a low hissing sound coming from afar, the sound of serpentine creatures living deep in Ryuchi Cave, echoing through the empty cave.
Finally, they arrived at a huge cave hall with a pond in the center surrounded by stones. The water in the pond rippled and emitted a faint white light. On the opposite side of the pond, a huge white snake was coiled up.
It has orange hair and yellow eyes, a green cat's eye stone on its chest, a purple silk ribbon as a headband, a military green bull horn-shaped ornament inlaid on the front of the headband, a red luminous pearl on its head, a pipe in its mouth, an extremely long body, and two golden rings on its tail, which it usually coils around on its throne.
Sasuke's gaze was fixed on the giant white serpent coiled above the throne: "Are you the White Serpent Sage of Ryuchi Cave?"
The White Snake Immortal replied in a calm tone, "That's right, I am the founder of Dragon Cave."
Then, the White Snake Sage scrutinized Boruto with sharp eyes, his tone carrying a hint of inquiry: "Now that you have mastered the Sage Techniques of Mount Myōboku, why have you come to our Ryūchi Cave? What brings you here?"
The moment the White Snake Sage saw Boruto, he sensed an incredibly strong "toad scent" (the aura of Sage Chakra from Mount Myōboku) emanating from him.
