I might be a fake Ultraman.

Led by the relatively intact Snake Queen, Baili Yuan and his group met the White Snake Immortal.

The White Snake Immortal sat cross-legged on her throne, watching Baili Yuan and his group with great caution. She had already sensed the dangerous aura emanating from Baili Yuan.

"I never imagined that Mount Myōboku held such power."

"What are you doing bringing this human to my Ryuchi Cave?"

The White Snake Immortal asked.

Baili Yuan stepped forward to speak.

"Bring out the magical techniques from Ryuchi Cave for us to study."

“Okay,” the White Snake Immortal agreed. “However, you need to become a contractor of Ryuchi Cave, and Ryuchi Cave will not be responsible if you fail in your cultivation.”

"What if I say no?"

"Then I'm sorry, Ryuchi-dong does not welcome you."

Baili Yuan's lips twitched, and he took a step back.

"Go tell my Bulbasaur!"

Bulbasaur clasped its hands together and instantly activated Sage Mode.

"That's... Perfect Sage Mode?!"

The immortal Fukasaku looked shocked.

It took Bulbasaur less than a day from the time it first encountered Sage Mode to the time it developed its own Sage Mode!

This directly shocked both Fukasaku and Shima.

Bulbasaur's Sage Mode features unique patterns that appear on its body, shimmering and glowing, containing fluctuations of Grass-type power.

Most remarkably, a Grass-type mark appeared on Bulbasaur's forehead.

The next second, Bulbasaur rushed forward and pushed with both palms.

Vast swathes of plants burst forth from the ground, transforming into a green wave that furiously attacked the White Snake Immortal.

The White Snake Immortal was almost laughing out of anger.

"How dare a little toad attack me? Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

The White Snake Immortal radiated a powerful aura, and within that aura, the shadow of a dragon could be faintly seen.

Then the entire space seemed to come alive, and everything within it transformed into weapons controlled by the White Snake Immortal, attacking Baili Yuan and his companions.

The Snake Princess hurriedly retreated.

The pebbles on the ground also became incredibly dangerous, bouncing and crashing into Baili Yuan and his companions with a force no less than that of an ordinary Jonin attack.

Baili Yuan simply raised his hand.

A layer of golden light appeared, protecting Baili Yuan and the others and shielding them from all external attacks.

However, if Master White Snake ignores Bulbasaur, he will have to pay a heavy price.

What's more...

The White Snake Master's strength was no match for Bulbasaur's.

The plants summoned by Bulbasaur seemed to come alive, transforming into ferocious monsters that attacked Sage White Snake.

Even the aura emanating from the White Snake Immortal could not stop the spread of the plants; instead, the aura was shattered and devoured by the plants.

The dense vegetation gradually approached the White Snake Immortal.

"These things are... your Sage Mode abilities? Since when did Sage Mode at Mount Myōboku allow manipulation of plants? Damn it!"

The White Snake Sage sensed something was wrong, so she stopped attacking Baili Yuan and the others and focused all her attention on dealing with Bulbasaur.

Baili Yuan, however, noticed something unusual.

"Although Bulbasaur can freely control its evolution and degeneration, its power is weakened in the degeneration state."

"In Sage Mode, Bulbasaur can unleash its full power and even gains a special ability..."

"Revitalize plants!"

Plants are living things, but to bring plants to life is to give them animal characteristics.

For example, stronger hunting abilities!
The white snake fairy trapped by plants is like a small insect that has fallen into a pitcher plant; no matter how much it struggles, it will become nourishment.

Just as the encirclement of plants was about to close in, the White Snake Immortal's size shrank dramatically. From within the smoke and dust, a figure flew out through the last gap, barely escaping being swallowed up.

That was the human form of the White Snake Immortal!

The White Snake Immortal looked like a kind old lady, but at this moment her expression was extremely unpleasant.

Because she sensed the danger to Baili Yuan and his group, the White Snake Immortal was willing to use the immortal techniques of Longdi Cave.

But she didn't expect that, with just a disagreement, Baili Yuan would have Bulbasaur take action.

Bulbasaur's strength far exceeded Sage White Snake's imagination.

"Stop, I can talk to you." The White Snake Immortal lowered her head.

Bulbasaur looked at Baili Yuan, and saw that Baili Yuan shook his head, indicating that he should end the battle.

Bulbasaur then deactivated Sage Mode, but he was still somewhat unsatisfied.

The battle is over.

The White Snake Immortal offered all the information about Immortal Mode and was even willing to sit down and talk with Baili Yuan about the secrets of Immortal Mode.

"In fact, natural energy is the original cultivation power on this planet. We beasts can cultivate natural energy to promote our own evolution."

"Legend has it that one of the ancestors of Ryūchi-dō was a snake that cultivated itself into a dragon, which is also the origin of the name Ryūchi-dō.

"But since the emergence of chakra, the cultivation of natural energy has become more difficult, and the transformation of cultivation has become more difficult."

Baili Yuan learned the new information.

simply put.

It is the combination of natural energy and chakra that can unleash even greater power, but loses the ability to evolve over time.

"If you want to learn more about natural energy, perhaps you should ask the Slug Fairy."

"The Slug Immortal is the one who lived the longest among the three immortals, and also the one whose lineage is the longest and most complete."

The White Snake Immortal ultimately decided to drag the Slug Immortal into the mess.

When the White Snake Sage learned that the entire Myoboku Mountain had surrendered to Baili Yuan, he was shocked.

Is Mount Myoboku really going all out?
Is all-in poker a form of wisdom?
"What can you offer Mount Myōboku to make them choose to completely submit to you?" the White Snake Sage couldn't help but ask.

Baili Yuan replied, "Don't worry."

"what?"

The White Snake Immortal remained silent for a while before indicating that if Baili Yuan wished, she could have the Three Snake Princesses form a contract with him and become his summoned beasts.

In the end, Baili Yuan chose to refuse.

Mount Myōboku is now bound to Baili Yuan, and Ryūchi Cave has not been affected by his power. Baili Yuan wouldn't even look at the mere Three Snake Princesses.

If the White Snake Immortal and his entire clan were to come and join him, Baili Yuan would be moved by the White Snake Immortal's sincerity.

"White Snake Sage, although Mount Myōboku will no longer exist in the ninja world in the future, it does not mean that Ryūchi-dō is all-powerful and can do whatever it wants."

"Don't say you didn't predict what you said."

Baili Yuan gave a final warning.

From the memories of the Great Toad Immortal, Baili Yuan learned that the White Snake Immortal was not as kind as he seemed.

Manda, summoned by Orochimaru, immediately demanded humans as food. Does he really think Manda is the only one in Ryuchi Cave who does this?
The White Snake Immortal was hiding some things, which Baili Yuan knew.

Moreover, Baili Yuan also discovered a problem in the Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave.

The study of the Sage Mode in Ryūchi-dō is not only about the structure of snake bodies, but also about the human body.

Of the three sacred sites, only the snakes of Ryuchi Cave can transform into human form for extended periods.

Perhaps, after natural energy could no longer help the snakes of Ryuchi Cave evolve, they began to find another way...

For example, using humans as a major medicine!
After being warned by Baili Yuan, the White Snake Immortal did not reply, but remained silent.

Transforming into a dragon is the obsession and ultimate goal of the snakes in Longdi Cave.

The White Snake Immortal is not yet at the point of despair.

What she cared about more was the statement, "There will be no more Mount Myōboku in the ninja world in the future."

What happened to Mount Myōboku? (End of Chapter)
