Simultaneous travel: I am proving the great way in the heavens.

Chapter 285: The Great Dao is Boundless, Refining the Void and Combining the Dao! The Path to Ascension!
Now that the ninja coalition in front of them still exists, it means that among the trinity of the Six Paths Sage.

The Six Paths Sage who was directly killed by Luofu was not at the current time point.

But it is the Six Paths Sage from the future, or the Six Paths Sage from Luofu’s world.

However, in this world, Luofu could not find any trace of the existence of the Six Paths Sage.

In this case, the Six Paths Sage of this world must be another Six Paths Sage who has hidden in another parallel world or point in time.

Luofu was not worried at all as to whether the two Six Paths Sages would take this opportunity to return to their own world.

It is not so easy to recover from a defeat in the high-dimensional time domain.

The fact that he was able to escape defeat in the higher-dimensional realm is enough to prove how powerful the Six Paths Sage, a pseudo-high-dimensional being, is.

For Luofu right now, defeating the Six Paths Sage does not mean that this world has no value.

On the contrary, after this battle, the life and death of Luofu and the Six Paths Sage were already determined. The defeat of the Six Paths Sage was certain, but Luofu still had to completely replace the Divine Tree Chakra with his own inner alchemy system.

This world, without the Six Paths Sage causing trouble, yet with so many ninjas, is simply the perfect testing ground for Luofu.

See Luofu appear and the Six Paths Sage disappear.

The members of the ninja alliance suddenly felt as if they had lost their parents.

Who made these ninjas firmly believe in the Six Paths Sage's statement that Luofu was a demon who wanted to destroy the world?

Now that the Six Paths Sage has disappeared, but Luofu is safe and sound, doesn't that mean that the world is about to fall into the hands of the great devil Luofu?
Just when everyone was despairing of Luofu's victory.

Hashirama Senju, who had just been holding Uchiha Madara, who had only half of his body left and was barely breathing, handed Uchiha Madara over to Uchiha Izuna without hesitation, then glanced in the direction of Luofu from a distance and strode towards Luofu.

"Big brother."

In the first moment, Senju Tobirama stopped in front of Senju Hashirama and said in a heavy tone: "We have already failed. Even the Six Paths Sage... We have no reason to fight anymore."

Senju Hashirama, however, showed a rare serious look, and said, "No, Tobirama, you are wrong. Even though the Six Paths Sage was defeated, this is still not a reason for us to give up. It's like, no one had ever built a village before. At that time, including my father, they thought my idea was crazy. But the facts proved that I was right."

"But now even the Six Paths Sage has failed. Brother, do you think you are more powerful than the Six Paths Sage?" Senju Tobirama said angrily.

Smiling calmly, Senju Hashirama said: "I know I will fail, but my ninja way will never allow me to retreat like this."

The moment he finished speaking, Hashirama Senju suddenly discovered that his brother Tobirama Senju's expression seemed to suddenly become a little strange.

A sudden flash of inspiration came to his mind, and Hashirama Senju reacted instantly. However, the next moment when he turned around, he was already pinned to the spot by an irresistible force, unable to move at all. Even the chakra in his body seemed to be solidified at this moment.

"You..." Senju Hashirama stared at Luofu who appeared beside him at some point in time.

Luo Fu gently raised a finger, signaling Senju Hashirama to be quiet.

At the same time, Hashirama Senju suddenly discovered that he had lost the ability to speak, as if the lower part of his cheek had been wiped away invisibly, and he could not feel the existence of half of his face at all.

It was fortunate that Hashirama Senju still knew that he could breathe, otherwise he would really doubt whether he had lost half of his face!
"Are you going to continue fighting with me for the will of Otsutsuki Hagoromo?" Luo Fu looked at Senju Hashirama meaningfully and said, "For this, are you willing to sacrifice the entire Konoha Village? Including your best friend Uchiha Madara."

Hearing that Luofu was actually using the village to threaten him, Senju Hashirama's eyes widened. Unfortunately, his ability to speak had been completely blocked by Luofu. He couldn't even feel the lower half of his face, so how could he open his mouth to refute?

Seeing this, Senju Tobirama plucked up his courage and said, "Sir, you have already won. Do you really want to completely destroy the entire ninja world?"

Senju Tobirama is not afraid of death. After all, he himself has died once. In order for Monkey King Sarutobi Hiruzen and others to escape, Senju Tobirama, as the second-generation Hokage, personally acted as bait to help Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo and others to lead away the pursuers.

But Luofu is different from the ninja. The death of Senju Tobirama was at most a conspiracy. In terms of the actual gap between Konoha and the Hidden Cloud Village, Konoha still has the advantage.

What about Luofu? He alone could even overthrow the entire ninja world. With such an opponent, such an enemy, even for the sake of the village, Senju Tobirama did not want to completely become enemies with Luofu.

Because Konoha cannot afford such a price, even whether the ninja world can continue to exist depends on Luofu's wishes.

In this situation, Senju Tobirama had to think countless times before every sentence he had with Luofu.

Luofu naturally knew all about Senju Tobirama's little thoughts.

But he was too lazy to pay attention to this selfish calculation.

In front of an overwhelmingly powerful person like Luofu, all the so-called strategies and calculations are completely meaningless.

If wisdom could defeat the enemy, there would be no need for guns.

His power is destined to be so powerful that even one with astonishing wisdom cannot resist it.

However, compared to Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, the strongest reincarnations of Ashura and Indra's Chakra.

Luofu was more interested in Senju Tobirama.

In fact, the name of Senju Tobirama, the master of forbidden techniques, is truly well-known. To some extent, although Senju Tobirama is a member of the Senju clan and has a huge amount of chakra.

But what really made Senju Tobirama so powerful that he could kill Uchiha Izuna, who had opened the Mangekyo in one fell swoop during the chaos of the battle, was not his bloodline, but his own wisdom and development of ninjutsu.

It can be said that more than 80% of the powerful ninjutsu in the ninja world are related to Senju Tobirama. Many of them have even caused huge uproars in the ninja world.

A series of techniques such as Impure World Reincarnation, Flying Thunder God Technique, Multiple Shadow Clones, Multiplying Explosive Talisman Technique, etc. either made a certain ninja famous, such as Flying Thunder God Technique for Minato Namikaze and Multiple Shadow Clones for Naruto Uzumaki, or almost brought chaos to the entire ninja world, such as Impure World Reincarnation.

Compared to ninjas who rely on bloodline, it is the wisdom of Senju Tobirama that impresses Luofu the most.

If it weren't for the opportunity of sharing the space, Luofu claimed that even as a member of the Uchiha clan, he would never dare to touch Senju Tobirama, the master of forbidden techniques.

It's not like now, the resurrected Senju Tobirama is so cautious in front of Luofu.

"Destroy the ninja world. Is this the reason why the Six Paths Sage told you and asked you to form a ninja coalition to attack me?" Luo Fu smiled and looked at Uchiha Madara who was lying on the side and unable to move. Although the bleeding from the wound had been stopped, he had lost more than 20% of his body tissue and looked very weak.

"Uchiha Madara, you didn't seem to tell them about our previous communication."

Relying on Uchiha Izuna, Uchiha Madara looked at Luofu and said, "I didn't tell everyone because I don't believe you can win."

"So what now?"

Uchiha Madara lowered his eyes and said, "Now, I want to know more about how you plan to destroy the chakra."

"Tobirama, you heard it." Senju Hashirama said impatiently: "This guy is indeed the devil that the Six Paths Sage said would destroy the ninja world."

"Wait, brother, don't be anxious," Senju Tobirama persuaded him quickly, "You have to understand that destroying the ninja world and destroying chakra are not the same thing."

After a slight pause, ignoring the confused Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju looked at Luo Fu and said, "Your goal is to destroy chakra, if it is not the ninja world? Can you give me a reason? Why?"

Luo Fu seemed to have noticed something. He looked at Senju Tobirama deeply and said, "It seems that you have discovered the abnormality of chakra."

His eyes flashed, and after hesitating for a moment, Senju Tobirama nodded and said, "Yes, in my previous research, I did find that there was a problem with the chakra."

"Tobirama, what are you talking about? How could there be a problem with chakra?" Hashirama Senju was already dissatisfied with being obstructed by Tobirama Senju. At this moment, it was unknown whether he was taking advantage of the situation or really believed in chakra so much.

"Brother." Senju Tobirama said helplessly: "You have died once, too. Don't you realize that you are obviously very healthy? With your vitality and chakra, it is impossible for you to die so early."

Senju Hashirama scratched the back of his head, his expression instantly becoming depressed. He said, "I'm really sorry that I died early."

"You..." Qianshou Feiai sighed helplessly and said, "Forget it."

Too lazy to pay attention to his troublesome brother, Senju Hashirama, he looked at Luo Fu and said, "Six Paths Sage, are you lying to us? You don't want to destroy the ninja world, but... chakra? But how to destroy chakra? Now almost everything in the ninja world is built on chakra. Don't you care at all about what kind of damage will be caused in the process of destroying chakra?"

"For ordinary people, the only way to repair a house with a crooked foundation is to tear it down and rebuild it, right?" Luo Fu said in a way that was easier for people to understand.

After a moment of silence, Senju Tobirama nodded and said, "Chakra is indeed a big problem, but do you have any other alternatives to destroying chakra like this?"

"Eh." Senju Hashirama suddenly exclaimed, "Tobirama, you're not really going to listen to this guy and destroy the ninja world, are you?"

"Brother, don't interrupt!" Without even looking at his brother, Senju Tobirama looked excited.

Compared to Rofu's plan to destroy chakra, Senju Hashirama now has a strong curiosity about how Rofu will build a new replacement.

You know, after Senju Tobirama discovered the problem with chakra, he also thought about whether there was a way to replace chakra.

It’s a pity that he was unable to solve this problem until his death.

After being resurrected, Senju Tobirama simply gave up this idea completely.

After all, didn't you see that even the Six Paths Sage, the originator of chakra, died? In the eyes of Senju Tobirama, this meant that there was indeed no alternative to chakra.

Originally, Luofu wanted to completely replace the chakra system in this world with the inner alchemy method he created.

He had thought before about how much resistance there would be in doing so and how many people he would have to kill before he could achieve his wish.

But now, unexpectedly, before Luofu even brought it up, Senju Tobirama, the second generation Hokage of Konoha, seemed to be eager to give up his chakra.

After a moment of silence, Luo Fu came back to his senses and said, "I do have a way to deal with chakra, and this is why the Six Paths Sage is willing to form a ninja coalition to target me."

After a slight pause, a series of interlocking halos of Buddha's light suddenly appeared behind Luofu's head.

Perhaps it was because the Six Paths Sage of this world had suffered a severe blow.

The influence of chakra on the ninja's mind has been reduced to the lowest level.

Accompanied by the shining of the light of wisdom.

The first to be affected were Senju Tobirama, Senju Hashirama, Uchiha Izuna, Uchiha Madara and others who were bathing in it. They all felt their brains become clear in an instant, and their souls seemed to be wiped clean of dust, as if light had been born in their hearts.

In the clarity of the mind, a mysterious inheritance arises spontaneously in the minds of these people bathed in the light of wisdom, as if the wisdom is natural.

As expected, the first person to come back to his senses from the illumination of the light of wisdom and the attraction of the inner alchemy method was Senju Tobirama, the master of forbidden techniques in the ninja world.

As soon as he came to his senses, Senju Tobirama said to Luo Fu in an excited tone: "Is this the method you mentioned to replace chakra? This... this method called inner alchemy, can it really replace chakra, really enable people to achieve life evolution, and even make people immortal?"

Nodding his head in affirmation, Luo Fu said, "Of course I can. I am the pioneer of the inner alchemy method. The Six Paths Immortal was also defeated by my inner alchemy method!"

The moment he subconsciously accepted Luo Fu's statement, Senju Tobirama suddenly had an idea and said, "No, you said that the Six Paths Sage was only defeated by you? Then the Six Paths Sage is still alive now?"

Looking at Senju Tobirama with a bit of surprise in his eyes, Luo Fu said: "I really couldn't kill Otsutsuki Hagoromo in one fell swoop. Otsutsuki Hagoromo under the Trinity is a state of pseudo-high-dimensional life. Even if I killed him in time, Otsutsuki Hagoromo's Trinity itself is a combination of the past, present and future. I only killed one of the three, and I couldn't completely erase him in time."

I discovered that there was something wrong with my chakra when I was alive.

But unfortunately, being in the ninja world, his vision was limited and he could not find a solution. Senju Tobirama had already accepted that chakra was supposed to be like this.

But what he got from Luofu was the inner alchemy method which was not inferior to chakra in magical effects, and even in terms of upper limit, much more powerful than chakra. Even though he had only had a preliminary contact with it, he had not yet formally embarked on a deeper practice of inner alchemy.

However, Senju Tobirama chose to abandon Chakra without hesitation and chose to support Luofu's inner alchemy method.

The reason is very simple, for a smart person like Senju Tobirama.

He knew the disadvantages of chakra very well. But he didn't find a solution during his lifetime, and because of his limited vision, he could only accept the energy of chakra helplessly.

But if there were any other hope, Tobirama Senju, who knew about the chakra problem, would not choose this energy system that clearly has more disadvantages than advantages.

Right now, Hashirama Senju is still immersed in the understanding of inner alchemy.

Otherwise, if he were awake at this moment and saw his younger brother's attitude suddenly change 180 degrees, Senju Hashirama would probably wish he had never had such an embarrassing younger brother from the beginning.

I learned from Luofu that it would be impossible for the Six Paths Sage to have an impact on the ninja world in a short period of time.

Even if all the ninjas in the ninja world abandoned chakra and turned to inner alchemy, there would be no possibility that the Sage of Six Paths would interfere.

While Senju Tobirama breathed a sigh of relief, he also knew that the ninja world could not always rely on Luofu.

Now that Luofu has defeated the Six Paths Sage, he has bought the ninja world a rare time for development.

Although Tobirama Senju is only the second-generation Hokage of Konoha, in fact, he, the second-generation Hokage, has much more say than Hashirama Senju, the first-generation founder of Konoha Village.

At least, at this moment, with the order from Senju Tobirama.

Among the allied ninja forces, Konoha chose to withdraw from the allied ninja forces without hesitation, and did not care at all about the words of the Six Paths Sage that Luofu would become the devil who would destroy the ninja world.

Since Senju Tobirama knew the inner alchemy method, he also knew that there was a huge threat posed by the Six Paths Sage.

After leading Konoha to withdraw from the Allied Ninja Forces, before the Konoha ninjas returned to the village in a mighty procession, the practice of Inner Alchemy had spread among the ninjas in the entire village.

Of course, the emergence of any new system cannot be completed overnight.

It’s just like the current inner alchemy method to chakra.

Even the old elders of the village and family such as Senju Tobirama, Senju Hashirama, Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Izuna came forward to testify.

However, old-fashioned ninja families like the Hyuga clan, the Ino-Shika-Chou clan, etc. would not give up their power based on the chakra system so easily.

In the end, it was Tobirama Senju who, through a combination of soft and hard tactics, made the Konoha ninjas completely abandon their chakra system before officially returning to the village.

What Senju Tobirama did was very simple, which was to let these family ninjas truly feel the power and authority of the inner alchemy method.

The reason why these family ninjas are reluctant to give up the chakra system even after learning about the problems with the chakra system is that they even know that the chakra system is harmful rather than beneficial.

But for the sake of their own family and the various advantages based on the chakra system, they cannot give up chakra.

What ultimately forced them to make this helpless choice was not Senju Tobirama's forced order as the Hokage.

After all, although the Hokage has a noble status, no one dares to disobey him in Konoha. But that is only on the surface, the ninjas are not stupid, especially the ninjas of the family that have been passed down for thousands of years, they know very well what it means to obey in public but disobey in private.

What really caused their attitude to change drastically was that the master of forbidden techniques, Tobirama Senju, embarked on the inner alchemy method on his own and proved with facts that with the emergence of inner alchemy, the curtain of chakra was doomed to fall.

Just like, the Hyuga clan is reluctant to give up chakra because of the Byakugan, the bloodline limit inherited in the family.

Although the inner alchemy method incorporates the three meridians and seven chakras, it seems out of place.

But the inner alchemy method is after all Luofu's combination of the innate Qi inheritance of the world of one person. In the world of extraordinary people, the method of observation is a huge system.

It's not just the various eye techniques that have special effects, but also the spiritual worldview and outlook on life are part of the method of observation.

The inner alchemy method naturally inherits this point perfectly.

That is to say, in the hands of people who have achieved some success in inner alchemy, even if they cannot achieve certain abilities like the White Eyes, there are still means in the inner alchemy system that can achieve similar effects, whether it is through clairvoyance or original vision.

Even the Hyuga clan's bloodline limit is like this, not to mention the Ino-Shika-Cho clan, which have no bloodline limits but only secret techniques passed down.

In those families that practice the secret arts, the secret arts have been passed down from generation to generation and perfected by countless ancestors. There are also means in the inner alchemy method that can easily achieve the same effect.

However, these methods have not formed a complete system of techniques.

But even so, after seeing these systems, the esoteric arts families can imagine that once the inner alchemy system becomes stronger, their families that guard chakra and esoteric arts will decline faster than the bloodline limit families.

In this situation, one can either switch to the inner alchemy system, take a step ahead, and re-develop and expand one's own family secret skills within the inner alchemy system, or stick to the city rules and face a doomed future.

These guys are not stupid. In fact, they are much smarter than many ninjas. They naturally know what to choose.

Under this unstoppable trend that was doomed to be unchangeable, more than 80% of the Konoha ninjas who withdrew from the Allied Ninja Forces had chosen to give up chakra and practice the inner alchemy system before they officially returned to the village.

Although the benefits of the Neidan system are numerous, it is not without disadvantages.

The most dangerous and crucial point is that the process of getting started with inner alchemy requires absorbing natural energy, and then mixing the natural energy with spiritual energy and physical energy in the body to form the so-called innate qi.

During this process, there are chakra seeds in the body. If one is not careful and merges the physical energy and mental energy into chakra, most of the ninjas will end up dead.

On the way back to the village, some ninjas who only saw the benefits of inner alchemy but did not truly experience its disadvantages, who were eager for quick success and instant benefits but unable to concentrate and calm their minds, became the earliest victims on the road of inner alchemy.

Among the ninjas who returned to Konoha, when they were about to arrive at Konoha Village, there were already dozens of lifelike stone statues in the team.

These stone statues are all ninjas who failed in their inner alchemy system and were eventually turned into stone.

Although this is also the Ninja World, it is not Luofu's world after all. Luofu does not intend to be a BUFF for everyone to practice the Inner Alchemy as in his own world. He will always be shining the light of wisdom on everyone.

After teaching the inner alchemy method to the Konoha ninja, Luofu followed suit and taught this system to the four major ninja villages: the Hidden Cloud Village, the Hidden Iwa Village, the Hidden Sand Village, and the Hidden Mist Village. He even did not let go of the ninja villages in small countries that were sandwiched between them.

With Konoha Village as an example, whether it is the four major ninja villages or other ninja villages, they have no other choice unless they want to be completely trampled under the feet of Konoha.

They can only start a new competition in the new system of inner alchemy like Konoha Village did.

On this new track, a truly fair competition will take place.

In order to spread the inner alchemy method, Luofu completely overturned the table of the Six Paths Immortal.

Luofu was well aware of the envy, jealousy and hatred that the four major ninja villages felt towards Konoha.

Who made Konoha's birth so blessed?

In Konoha Village, no matter it is the environment of the Land of Fire or the endless stream of geniuses, the four great ninjas feel like they have eaten a lemon whenever they mention it.

It was only from Luo Fu's mouth that they truly learned the truth.

It turns out that both the Senju and the Uchiha are descendants of the Six Paths Sage Otsutsuki Hagoromo. Even the Hyuga clan are descendants of Otsutsuki Hagoromo's younger brother, Otsutsuki Hamura.

Not to mention that Konoha has so many bloodline limit families and mystic technique families. Not to mention the latter, almost 80% of the former are related to the Six Paths Sage.

When many ninjas from other countries learned the news, they even doubted whether Konoha was the hometown of the Six Paths Sage.

In this situation, he witnessed the failure of the Six Paths Sage and the victory of Luofu with his own eyes.

In addition, due to their hatred for Konoha, the four major ninja villages and many small ninja villages turned to the system of inner alchemy with an attitude that was countless times more diligent than Konoha.

After such efforts, naturally there were gains. Apart from other things, when they returned to the village, there were at least dozens or even hundreds of stone statues in the teams of the four major ninja villages. Although the number of ninjas turned into stone statues in the teams of the small ninja villages was not as large as that of the five major ninja villages, in terms of proportion, the sacrifices of the small ninja villages were the most serious.

There were even some small ninja villages that were short of having a Chunin or above ninja, but not a single one returned to the village alive. All of them were turned into stone statues and carried back.

For a small ninja village, such a sacrifice is almost equivalent to the destruction of the village.

Despite such a brutal death rate, countless ninjas still flock to it.

Some wicked ninja villages even used their own villagers to conduct research on the new system of inner alchemy.

Watching all this happening coldly, Luo Fu could only be thankful that although he had established a system of inner alchemy, it enabled ordinary people, through their own efforts and practice, to have an unimpeded path and directly achieve achievements that were enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with real Otsutsuki clan members, or even surpass the Otsutsuki clan.

There is no such thing as a natural calamity in the ninja world.

Otherwise, given the insane practices of these ninjas, I'm afraid few of them would be able to reach the end of the inner alchemy system.

Of course, inner alchemy is actually a system with no end.

Refining essence into Qi, refining Qi into spirit, refining spirit back to emptiness, refining emptiness into unity with the Tao. Although it seems that there is no way forward once one has reached the realm of refining emptiness into unity with the Tao.

But in fact, the practice of refining the void and merging with the Tao is endless.

The great way is boundless, and the realm of refining the void and merging with the Tao also has no end.

It can only be said that refining the void and merging with the Dao is equivalent to reaching the limit of inner alchemy. If one wants to go further, one can only seek to upgrade one's own dimension and advance from low-dimensional life to high-dimensional life.

As time passed, the inner alchemy method that Luofu spread and popularized in the so-called Fourth Ninja World War eventually opened the door to the next stage after refining essence into qi in the entire ninja world at the cost of the sacrifice of nearly half of the ninjas.

Yes.

Just the stage of refining essence into energy has eliminated more than half of the ninjas in the ninja world. This elimination rate is already very high.

You know, the practice of inner alchemy is different from ordinary examinations. It doesn't matter if you fail the examination, but when practicing inner alchemy, once something goes wrong, you will not even have the chance to regret. All you can do is watch yourself being eroded by natural energy and turned into a stone statue.

However, turning into a stone statue is not absolute. Just like the Sage Mode of the three holy places, if the cultivation fails, the inheritance of Myoboku Mountain will turn people into stone statues. If the Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave fails, people will turn into snakes, and so on.

Because Luofu's inner alchemy method is completely different from the immortal mode of the three holy places, this means that in the event of failure, most people will turn into stone statues, and only a very small number will end in a different way.

The first person to advance from the stage of refining essence into qi to the stage of refining qi into spirit was none other than Senju Tobirama, who was admired by Luofu.

At the same time, Senshou Tobirama also discovered some problems in the practice of inner alchemy that Luofu had never mentioned.

Ninjas who are eroded by natural energy, or petrified by the conflict between natural energy and chakra, will no longer be in danger of being eroded by natural energy once they reach the stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation.

The reason is simple. The erosion of natural energy is essentially caused by the conflict with chakra.

Once one advances from refining essence into qi to refining qi into spirit, the chakra seeds passed down from generation to generation in the body will no longer exist, as if they had been refined in the process of refining essence into qi.

Without chakra seeds, it means that it is impossible to extract chakra anymore. In this way, there will naturally be no trouble of conflict between chakra and natural energy. After all, if chakra is gone, natural energy cannot be incompatible with the human body itself, right?

At this stage, the practice of inner alchemy is like stepping onto the fast lane.

The stage of refining qi into spirit is also when the inner alchemy practitioners truly begin to master extraordinary powers.

The stage of refining essence into qi is more like a period of laying a solid foundation and making preparations for inner alchemy. It can even be described as building a foundation.

Building a foundation is a foundation that will not be interfered with by chakra.

But because of this, at this stage, people who practice inner alchemy cannot master supernatural powers. Apart from physical skills, they cannot perform ninjutsu such as manipulating elements, illusion techniques that interfere with the mind, etc.

But once they reach the stage of refining Qi and transforming it into spirit, the inner alchemy practitioner seems to have undergone a fundamental transformation.

With a little modification, the former ninjutsu can be transferred to the innate qi of inner alchemy.
