Chapter 185 : Cultivation and Comprehension!

While Kazuhiko understood the origins of Chakra and its connection with natural energy, the Little slug remained silent on the whereabouts of the God tree.

"Kazuhiko-sama should be familiar with it," the Little slug's voice chimed in again.

"That's the tailed beast. The God tree is a massive reservoir of energy. It later split into nine tailed beasts, passing down through ancient times to the present. When they unite, a new God tree is formed, incredibly terrifying. A monster comprises all nine beasts."

The Little slug spoke with a monotone voice.

"Tailed beast... Natural energy... Chakra... Ten Tails..."

Kazuhiko unconsciously pondered on all of this; no one had ever explained these connections to him in such a systematic manner.

He also recognized that the creature mentioned by the Little slug was the Ten Tails.

"So, this is the link between the fifteen of them."

"Yes, Kazuhiko-sama, you must have a basic understanding of natural energy and Chakra."

"With this knowledge, accepting natural energy becomes easier, and you need not consider it as something scarce. The Chakra you encounter daily is just another facet of it."

The gentle voice of the Little slug echoed in Kazuhiko's ears.

"Alright, don't worry. I understand. I'll begin."

After saying this, Kazuhiko sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and breathed gently.

As his mind quieted, the negative emotions of urgency and irritability dissipated, leaving only an essential peace resonating within him.

For an unknown duration, Kazuhiko could only sense the peace in his heart.

At this moment, everything was silent, with the wind rustling the leaves and the sounds of insects and soil. Surprisingly, Kazuhiko realized he wasn't hearing these with his ears but sensing them with his entire body.

He could even feel his heart beating slowly, each beat bringing increased vitality.

Gradually, he sensed every aspect of his body, from blood flowing to the distinct functions of each organ. They all seemed to be influenced by the rich natural energy, becoming crystal clear.

All of this unfolded in Kazuhiko's mind, an astonishing sensation.

Sitting cross-legged in the Fountain of Life, eyes closed, he could observe and feel everything around him.

The Little slug stood nearby, astonished. Kazuhiko had seamlessly integrated with the natural energy.

"Kazuhiko-sama is truly remarkable. He has directly fused with natural energy, eliminating the need for any additional training."

The Little slug secretly marveled. Kazuhiko's talent for cultivating Sage Mode was already impressive, and after sensing natural energy, the next step required pulling it actively back into the body.

However, now that Kazuhiko had caught the world's attention, natural energy automatically surrounded him. He effortlessly completed this crucial step, leaving the Little slug amazed.

Now that the Little slug sensed Kazuhiko reaching the third step, he could attempt to integrate natural energy into his body.

However, the Little slug remained silent, offering no reminders or guidance to Kazuhiko. It understood that the longer he stayed in this state, the more beneficial it would be for him.

The longer Kazuhiko maintained this condition, the smoother his use of Sage Mode would be in the future.

The Little slug observed silently, watching Kazuhiko as he continuously merged with the natural energy.

"Come on, Kazuhiko-sama, maintain this state. Don't rush to the third step..."

Kazuhiko also felt a profound calm settling over the world.

The breeze, the insects, the soil, the stones—all of these were perceived by him. He sensed that everything was an integral part of nature.

Even lifeless dirt and rocks were infused with natural energy.

With closed eyes, he felt everything in the world clearer than ever before.

He could see the live scorpion beside him, observing quietly, its tentacles swaying gently.

He noticed that the Shikkotsu Forest lacked its usual eerie ambiance. The entire forest was enveloped in rich natural energy, with the essence of nature reflected in the trees.

Looking at himself, Kazuhiko saw every detail. His heart beat slowly, brimming with vigorous life. The blood coursing through his veins was as clear as a mountain spring, and his internal organs emitted a faint light.

The Chakra within his body flowed through the meridians.

Surrounded by infinite natural energy, Kazuhiko could clearly see them. It wasn't just perception; he could distinctly witness their existence on his own body, on his own skin.

Even more remarkably, he felt these natural energies attaching to his body, communicating with the Chakra within him, as if merging with each other.

Those natural energies encircled his body without resistance, gradually entering and making contact with his Chakra.

At that moment, Kazuhiko suddenly realized something profound in his heart.

"This is the moment!"
