Chapter 88 Orochimaru: That's right, it was Jiraiya who did it.
Upon hearing Tianxin Shenji's cry coming from the White Snake Immortal's cave, the other two realized something was wrong and rushed over.
Orochimaru followed closely behind and arrived as well.
When they saw Bai Mo arrive in front of the White Snake Sage, the three goddesses looked at Bai Mo with different expressions. Orochimaru didn't know whether Bai Mo had passed through or not.
"breath?"
After being reprimanded by the White Snake Immortal, Tianxin Shenji gradually calmed down, sensed Bai Mo's aura again, and finally discovered the problem.
"Lord White Snake, he... he... he stole the immortal techniques from Ryuchi Cave!"
Princess Tianxin stretched out her hand and pointed at Bai Mo in astonishment.
"Idiot, smell it again."
The old woman, the White Snake Immortal, slightly opened her eyes and glared at Tianxin Shenji.
"Smell...it does seem a bit different. What is this?"
Princess Tianxin was stunned.
"He didn't receive my blessing; he relied on his own instincts—let's put that aside for now. Tell me first what happened that made you break the trial rules and bring him here."
The White Snake Immortal was explaining when his tone suddenly changed.
"Lady White Snake, I was forced into this. Look at this—"
Like a child who has been bullied and has gone to complain to her parents, Tianxin Shenji took out the two books that Bai Mo had given her from her bosom with a mournful face.
"Lady White Snake, please be careful when you look inside, the things there are terrifying..."
After handing over the two books, Princess Tianxin stepped aside and offered a kind reminder.
"Hmph, I've lived for over a thousand years, what haven't I seen?"
The White Snake Immortal snorted coldly and looked down at the book in his hand.
"?!"
boom.
The book in the White Snake Immortal's hand fell directly to the ground.
"Where did this filth come from?!"
The White Snake Immortal's originally deep, old woman-like voice suddenly became sharp.
"It was him! He said it was written by Jiraiya, the contractor from Mount Myōboku!"
Tianxin Shenji pointed at Bai Mo.
"Jiraiya? The one Orochimaru used to be with?"
The White Snake Sage narrowed his eyes and looked at Orochimaru.
Orochimaru was taken aback.
All he knew was Jiraiya's personality and that he had indeed published some novels unsuitable for children.
As for the specific content of the novel, he really didn't know.
Orochimaru didn't have the time to read those boring love stories.
"...Jiraiya has liked to peep into women's bathhouses since he was a child."
Bai Mojun and I recently met Jiraiya, but he hasn't changed at all and is still the same as before.
If the content here is filthy and obscene, then it's most likely his work.
Orochimaru remained silent for a moment. He had some doubts that this might not have been written by Jiraiya, but Jiraiya was just too suitable as the "murderer."
So he gave an affirmative answer.
Anyway, Mount Myoboku and Ryuchi Cave have always been at odds, so adding a little more tension won't make a difference.
Sure enough, after Orochimaru said that, the White Snake Sage had an expression that said, "Then it's not surprising," and stopped investigating.
Clearly, even if Orochimaru hadn't said anything, the White Snake Sage had heard about Jiraiya's personality from Mount Myōboku.
"This is like a toad trying to eat a white snake's flesh, disgusting."
The White Snake Immortal picked up the book from the ground and disdainfully threw it onto the table beside him.
Now that this matter is resolved, we can finally get back to the main topic.
The White Snake Immortal climbed back onto the bed and found a comfortable position to lie down.
"In that case, let's complete the final trial right here... I mean, Princess Tsurugi!"
The White Snake Sage's face darkened when he saw Princess Ichikishima excitedly pull out a bunch of tangrams.
Of the three goddesses' trials, only the final trial is the most important.
All those tests of character, wisdom, and chakra levels are irrelevant. The most important thing is actually just one thing—whether you can withstand natural energy.
The lineage of immortal arts in Ryuchi Cave begins with the White Snake Immortal using his own sharp fangs to infuse natural energy into his contractors, who then learn the immortal arts.
Princess Tsurugi's test involves biting the trial participant, injecting natural energy, and creating an illusion effect.
This involves multiple layers of screening.
It's different from Mount Myoboku.
Here, you won't be taught the methods and basics of cultivating Sage Mode first; you'll have to endure it yourself first.
If you can't handle it, then you'll become food on the plate.
"Lord White Snake, is this really necessary? Doesn't he already have natural energy within him?"
Princess Tsuratsu, who was peeking at the book that the White Snake Immortal had thrown on the table, was somewhat apprehensive.
—After looking at some of the illustrations in the book, she understood why Princess Takoto had cried out for help earlier.
"Just do what I tell you to do."
"Yes, yes, I will obey."
Under the pressure of the White Serpent Immortal, Tuanjin Princess had no choice but to walk up to Bai Mo and take his hand in hers: "Trial participant, concentrate, I'm here."
In the past, Princess Tsurugi would have definitely chosen to bite the most fatal part, the neck; it's a snake's instinct.
But now, she has chosen to bite her hand very cautiously.
Moreover, it did not show any snake-like features; it only opened its mouth and its two teeth became slightly longer.
"Awoo."
Princess Tsuratsu took a bite.
"What are you afraid of? Do you think he would dare to act so recklessly in front of Lord White Snake?"
Princess Ichikishima floated up to Princess Tsurugi, who was wiping her mouth, and made a sarcastic remark.
After mocking her teammates, Princess Ichikishima turned to Bai Mo and asked, "What do you think he'll see in the illusion?"
"What will we see?"
Bai Mo said he also wanted to know.
"Huh?"
Princess Ichikishima blinked. "You're not under a genjutsu?"
"Is there anything strange about that? Someone who can break free from illusions has the talent to cultivate immortal arts. He's already full of natural energy, so it's normal that he's unaffected by me, right?"
Tuanjin-hime retorted.
"Orochimaru, I didn't expect you to bring such a special person with you this time."
The White Snake Immortal waved his hand, signaling the three to step aside.
"Lady White Snake, Bai Mojun may be even more special than you imagine."
Orochimaru chuckled a few times.
"Oh? What do you mean?"
The White Snake Immortal was somewhat curious.
"Lord White Serpent, you know Jugo. He also has a constitution that allows him to absorb natural energy. After becoming a Sage, he mutates and goes berserk. My curse seal was developed from him."
Orochimaru began his narration.
"I understand, but in this person, there is no trace of the violent and alienated nature caused by rejection of natural energy. This is his 'instinct,' just like the holy land a thousand years ago."
The thousand years ago that the White Snake Sage referred to was the world before the arrival of the Ōtsutsuki clan.
That world where chakra didn't exist yet.
At that time, the Three Sacred Lands still existed, and the animals there relied on this instinctive, pure absorption of natural energy to gain power.
It was only after the arrival of the Otsutsuki clan and the emergence of chakra that the training of Sage Mode changed.
Whether this change is good or bad for the world is uncertain, but for the White Snake Sage, Gamamaru, and the slug, it is definitely a good thing.
If the original method of cultivating pure natural energy was good, then there wouldn't have been only these three surviving for a thousand years.
"I'm not referring to that, but rather to the cells that contain natural energy."
"cell?"
"That's right, the activity and strength of his body's cells... are pitifully weak."
"What did you say?"
The White Snake Immortal frowned.
She originally thought Orochimaru was going to say how incredibly powerful Bai Mo's body cells were, which was why he could absorb and control natural energy so perfectly.
Why is it reversed?
That doesn't make any sense at all!
