Naruto: Cultivating to Immortality

Chapter 520 Breaking the Limits

The legendary Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, with his extraordinary wisdom and immense power, successfully and skillfully used the power of the mysterious and ancient Divine Tree to obtain a crucial piece of the will of the ninja world. This astonishing act caused a flaw in the previously lofty and unattainable world will, thus giving Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki a golden opportunity—the possibility of seizing control of the entire world will!

Over the long course of time, the Sage of Six Paths skillfully used the chakra system he spread, like a silent yet pervasive plague, profoundly impacting the entire world. This process lasted for a full thousand years, and under this prolonged erosion, the world's will grew increasingly weak, like a crumbling building that could no longer support its original weight.

As time passed, the once invincible and unbreakable power of the World Will began to shrink like the receding tide. Its light dimmed, like a candle flickering in the wind, threatening to be extinguished at any moment. In contrast, the power of the Sage of Six Paths grew stronger day by day. The situation was extremely unfavorable for the World Will; it was clearly at a disadvantage and had almost no power to fight back.

If this situation continues, the world's will could be completely possessed by the Sage of Six Paths at any moment. If that happens, the world's will will vanish from this world, turning into nothingness. At that time, this world will become entirely the Sage of Six Paths' exclusive territory, and he will be in charge of establishing and controlling all rules and order.

Hyuga Kanan knew perfectly well that his arrival here was merely a pawn in the world's will's resistance. This world's will had spared no effort in helping him grow, even opening up the most crucial and hidden source area to him without reservation, allowing him to delve into its depths and continuously improve his cultivation. Clearly, the world's will had been driven to a dead end by the Sage of Six Paths, with no way to retreat!

At this very moment, the changing winds of the ninja world are proof enough—the enemy has already begun the final preparations for the possession. If this plan succeeds, in such a short time, no matter how hard Hyuga Kanan tries to improve his strength, he will have absolutely no chance of directly confronting the Sage of Six Paths, who possesses the power of the entire world as his solid backing. At that time, Hyuga Kanan's beautiful vision of quietly cultivating and gradually growing stronger will surely vanish like a dream. The best option before him is probably to seize the opportunity and risk everything by venturing into the vast and boundless void, where he might find a glimmer of hope to continue his life. However, this would also completely sever any possibility of Hyuga Kanan continuing to grow and become a sage.

It's important to understand that in that endless void, there is absolutely no source of energy to draw upon. In such a desolate place, even the slightest trace of the power of rules is hard to find, let alone use it to deeply comprehend. Maintaining one's life here is practically a pipe dream. Therefore, Hyuga Kanan's only hope is to once again rely on incredible luck to stumble into another completely different world. However, Hyuga Kanan himself is acutely aware of this minuscule possibility—it's almost impossible! So, when that happens, it seems only one path remains before him: to watch helplessly as he gradually dissipates until he ultimately vanishes into nothingness.

Therefore, at this moment, Hyuga Kanan deeply understood that he must seize this rare opportunity and do everything in his power to improve his strength. Only in this way could he, with the assistance of the mysterious and incredibly powerful world will, successfully thwart the Sage of Six Paths' chilling plot to possess someone's body and completely shatter his meticulously planned scheme. For Hyuga Kanan, this was undoubtedly a life-or-death struggle, and also a great journey to prove himself and uphold justice and peace.

At that very moment, Hyuga Kanan's dantian had quietly begun its construction. The once empty dantian area was gradually taking shape in an orderly manner, as if a skilled architect were meticulously designing and building the foundation of life.

As time passed, the basic structure of the dantian rapidly emerged. Every meridian and acupoint was precisely outlined and connected, forming an intricate yet orderly network. The nascent soul, located in the center of the dantian, shone like a dazzling pearl.

This nascent soul seemed to possess an insatiable thirst, frantically devouring the natural energy from the outside world. That pure and powerful energy surged into the nascent soul's body like a tide, and after a fierce refining process, it was transformed into the purest power, continuously transported to every corner of the dantian, providing solid support for its construction.

However, this process was far from smooth. It was both tedious and lengthy, requiring Hyuga Kanan to concentrate fully on merging the power of the rules he had comprehended with it. The slightest mistake could cause the entire construction process to deviate or even fail. Moreover, he had to strictly follow certain inherent laws, carefully guiding his dantian to transform in the direction he desired. This kind of meticulous operation would be a huge challenge for anyone, but Hyuga Kanan, with his unwavering perseverance and exceptional talent, always held firm at the forefront of this mysterious realm.

At this moment, his dantian seemed to have become a mysterious and vast universe. Within it, various forces of law intertwined, merged, and fused together, constructing a system that became increasingly perfect and complete. As this process progressed, the embryonic form of a small world was slowly taking shape.

In that still-developing little world, majestic mountains rise and fall; rivers rush and surge with boundless power. Although these mountains and rivers only possess the most basic structure, one can already sense their future magnificence and grandeur. At the same time, the sun, moon, and stars, like dazzling jewels, gradually adorn the sky above this dantian.

However, despite the nascent glimpse of this small world, it still harbors obvious flaws. Time flows ceaselessly here; everything is still, as if frozen in a single moment. Moreover, space itself is rigid and inflexible, lacking the dynamism and fluidity of the normal world. The entire small world is like a painting whose outline has just been sketched, awaiting further details and colors to fill in and enhance it.

Hyuga Kanan was completely absorbed in his cultivation, his mind not daring to pause for even a moment. He continuously and accurately channeled the various power of rules he had comprehended into his dantian. At the same time, he strictly followed the method of fusing power of rules that he had previously learned, carefully constructing his own unique dantian.

This process is long and arduous, with each step fraught with challenges and trials. The complex and multifaceted forces of the rules are like countless delicate threads interwoven together, requiring Hyuga Kanan to possess extraordinary patience and focus, skillfully guiding them to merge and coordinate according to a stable and orderly operating principle. Only in this way can the entire dantian gradually begin to function normally, resembling a delicate, complex yet well-ordered microcosm.

At this very moment, Hyuga Kanan's powerful consciousness remained immersed in the mysterious and unpredictable Origin Realm, tirelessly continuing his journey of enlightenment and meticulously constructing his own dantian. However, within this seemingly peaceful secluded training room, an astonishing change was quietly descending upon Hyuga Kanan.

His previously motionless body suddenly emitted a strange fluctuation, which spread rapidly outwards like ripples. As the fluctuation continued to spread, its range widened and its intensity increased. Astoundingly, not only the air and light were affected by this fluctuation, but even space itself seemed to begin to subtly distort and deform.

Gradually, Hyuga Kanan's entire body began to interact strangely with the surrounding dimensions. His form would sometimes become blurred, like an illusion; at other times, it would be clearly discernible, yet give a sense of incongruity, as if he had transcended the conventional dimensional limitations of this world. In this way, his body, like flickering starlight, would appear before our eyes one moment and disappear without a trace the next, making it difficult to grasp his true location.

In that mysterious and unpredictable primordial land, the illusory Hyuga Kanan was intently engaged in a crucial task—building his own dantian. His brows were slightly furrowed, his eyes blazing, and he was completely absorbed in the process.

Suddenly, his focused expression changed abruptly, as if he had noticed something astonishing. It turned out that just after he completed part of the dantian construction, a strange feeling surged through him. He clearly felt that his dantian was undergoing an unprecedented change.

The various rules and forces that had been meticulously constructed seemed to be drawn together by some mysterious force, rapidly merging into one another. They were no longer isolated, independent entities, but gradually merging into a unified whole. This process was so fast that it was breathtaking, completed in the blink of an eye.

Even more surprisingly, these fused forces of power began to operate rapidly and steadily according to the pre-set framework. They were as if they were an integral part of Hyuga Kanan's body, intimately connected to him, operating with unparalleled smoothness and stability. Each rotation brought powerful energy fluctuations, as if this small dantian had become an independent world, possessing endless potential and possibilities.
