I might be a fake Ultraman.

Finally, there is Shikkotsu Forest.

Shikkutsu Forest, on the other hand, appears vibrant, with lush forests and even taller trees.

Countless tiny slugs are picking leaves in the forest, much like farmers harvesting vegetables, taking a few leaves from each tree to ensure they don't harm the trees' growth. Then they carry these leaves back into the mountains.

Because that's where the Slug Sage's true form resides!
Those little slugs are all clones of the Slug Immortal.

In the entire Wet Bone Forest, there is only one Slug Immortal, and those who are summoned are all her clones.

The little slugs also noticed Baili Yuan and his group, but instead of stopping them, they greeted them in a friendly manner.

Finally, Baili Yuan and his group followed the little slug into the mountain's interior and met the slug immortal inside.

Only by seeing the Slug Sage in person can one have a clear understanding of its size.

The slug fairy's size can no longer be described simply as a small hill, but as a mountain range!
Even insect-killing monsters aren't as big as the slug cactus!

Furthermore, the vitality within the Slug Immortal shocked Baili Yuan.

Although the Slug Sage's level is comparable to that of the Great Toad Sage and the White Snake Sage, that's because the path of cultivation in this world has come to an end.

However, Slug Sage's vitality is even stronger than Bulbasaur's, which is also adept at vitality.

The slug immortal split off a clone as tall as a person and came to greet Baili Yuan and the others.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all. I am the Slug Sage, and my name is Live Slug."

“I am already clear about your purpose and what happened before.”

"If needed, I am willing to share the immortal power of Shikkotsu Forest with you."

Fukasaku looked shocked. "You knew all along? Do you also possess precognitive abilities similar to the Toad Master?"

The Slug Sage explained, "No, it's just because I have clones hidden in the other two holy lands as my spies."

Fukasaku Sennin: "..."

Shima Senjin: "..."

High-end surveillance only requires the simplest method of inserting a camera.

The Slug Sage's ability to create clones is more accurately described as splitting. She can create clones as tall as mountains or as small as insects.

Baili Yuan even suspected that the Slug Immortal could split into microbial-level clones.

You can sense that the slug sages of this world are very easy to talk to.

It's similar to the situation of the Slug Sage in World One.

The Slug Sage is so powerful, yet she only stays in her own sacred land. If she wasn't sealed away by a powerful enemy, then there's only one possibility: the Slug Sage has very low desires and needs.

"What is your purpose?" Baili Yuan asked, not in a hurry to study the Immortal Mode of Shikkotsu Forest.

Baili Yuan, who is able to sense emotions, has already noticed that the Slug Immortal is looking forward to their arrival.

The Slug Immortal did not hide anything.

"If possible, I hope you can become my contractor and summon my true form to leave this place."

"Can't you leave on your own?" Baili Yuan asked curiously.

Slug Sage: "Of course I can leave, but if I were to act normally, it would cause enormous damage to nature. If I were to leave through a spirit medium, my disappearance would at most affect this mountain range and would not cause greater damage."

Baili Yuan: "Is there anything you want to do before you leave? Perhaps I can help."

Slug Sage: "The world is so big, I want to go see it."

Baili Yuan: "..."

“Alright, enough joking around,” the Slug Sage said. “I don’t have the special abilities of the Great Toad Sage or the White Snake Sage, but I do have an extremely strong affinity for life.”

“I can sense that you are a higher form of life than me. By staying by your side, I might become stronger.”

Baili Yuan understood; it was probably because of his life attributes that the slug immortal was attracted.

"Are you willing to become my contracted beast? Not a ninja beast, but one that I contract to exist as a summoned creature?" Baili Yuan asked the crucial question. The Slug Sage did not refuse, "Life has no fear of evolution."

Baili Yuan said that those who can become immortals speak eloquently and persuasively.

"Then the contract is established!"

Baili Yuan and the Slug Immortal were the first to sign a contract.

The Slug Sage also sensed the limits of the world; if she wanted to go further, she could only rely on external forces.

Although she essentially sold herself out, Slug didn't think Baili Yuan was a bad person.

Of course, it was also because the Slug Immortal felt that he would not be a match for Baili Yuan.

Next, the Slug Sage told Baili Yuan and the others about natural energy and Sage Chakra.

The Slug Sage also took the opportunity to talk about his own life.

Originally, the Slug Sage was just an ordinary slug who was adopted by a priestess. The priestess discovered her talent and awakened her intelligence.

After that, she began to learn about sensing and practicing natural energy from the shrine maiden.

After the slug fairy awakened her healing abilities, the priestess took her with her to heal others, traveling the world and healing all living beings.

The slug fairy's personality was largely influenced by that priestess.

It was during his travels around the world that the Slug Sage learned about "Sage Power," or natural energy, from the priestess.

According to the priestess, long ago, there were people who cultivated this power, whose life levels were transformed, and who eventually departed.

These people are called "immortals," and the power they cultivate is called "immortal power."

But very few people can become immortals.

Most people who can cultivate this power can only gain the effect of prolonging their lives and mastering some special abilities.

Five hundred years later, the witch reached the end of her life.

The priestess then led the slug to the Wet Bone Forest, which was considered the "dojo" she had set up for herself in her later years.

The priestess eventually died.

The slug sage buried the priestess and then guarded the "dojo," occasionally healing passersby.

They lived a life free of desires and wants.

The slug fairy also wanted to become a fairy, and wanted to see what the fairy the shrine maiden spoke of looked like.

Later, for some unknown reason, rumors spread that this area contained a secret treasure of immortals, attracting many people with ulterior motives.

To protect the purity of the temple, the Slug Immortal sent down an acid rain that corroded the flesh and blood of many people, leaving only bare bones.

That's what intimidated those humans.

The legend of Shikub Forest also remains.

Later, the Otsutsuki clan arrived and planted the Chakra Fruit. Although the Otsutsuki clan's plan ultimately failed, it destroyed the fundamental power of this world.

Natural energy has lost its original power.

The Slug Immortal's cultivation level stagnated, and he had no further chance to become an immortal.

Later, the Slug Sage mastered chakra and developed the Shikkotsu Forest Sage Mode.

The Wet Bone Forest was also completely hidden by the Slug Sage's barrier spell, making it difficult for outsiders to detect.

"The power of immortals, which is natural energy, can be said to be the force that promotes the evolution of life in this world."

"However, due to the interference of extraterrestrial visitors, the natural energy of the ninja world was damaged. Although it brought chakra, a more destructive power, it could not make up for the damage caused by the destruction of the world."

"Although it's a bit of a pity that I can't become a true sage, the ninja world has been changing at an even faster pace since the advent of chakra, and I always see something new and interesting."

The slug immortal showed neither joy nor sorrow, but rather a sense of having seen through the illusions of the world. (End of Chapter)
