Chapter 114 White Snake Immortal: Lord Dragon is the Real Lord! (Bonus Chapter 924)

Upon hearing Li Ang's words, Orochimaru smiled instead: "Isn't the Dragon Lord's tone a bit too arrogant?"

The Sannin had already regarded the person in front of him as a madman spouting nonsense.

Seeing that he didn't trust him, Li Ang didn't take it to heart. Instead, he brought up another matter: "Chakra is not the power of this world itself. As a contractor of Ryuchi Cave, you should have heard about that, right?"

Orochimaru's smile froze for a moment.

He had indeed heard similar words from the White Snake Immortal.

The original power of this world is called natural energy by the White Snake Sage, and it is also one of the necessary conditions for learning Sage Mode.

Unfortunately, Orochimaru didn't learn it.

Or perhaps he simply didn't want to learn it, because the process of cultivating the Dragon Cave Immortal Techniques was too dangerous.

"What does this have to do with what you said, Dragon Lord?"

Seeing Orochimaru's smile fade, Li Ang couldn't help but chuckle: "The extraterrestrials planted the Divine Tree, and the Goddess of the Rabbit killed them and usurped the chakra fruit that the Divine Tree bore."

"What do you mean?"

Orochimaru couldn't help but frown.

The words "otherworldly beings," "divine tree," "Goddess of the Rabbit," and "chakra fruit" kept echoing in the ears of this legendary Sannin.

However, when Orochimaru saw that Li Ang did not intend to continue speaking, he immediately realized something.

He relaxed his brow, and a fake smile returned to his face: "What does the Dragon Lord want?"

"The contract of Ryuchi-dong".

Li Ang stated his first payment requirement almost without hesitation.

The reason for choosing this reward is that the Ryuchi Cave contract will not cause Orochimaru any substantial loss.

The price is acceptable to both parties.

As expected, Orochimaru nodded in agreement after a moment's thought.

As he formed hand seals, a huge scroll appeared in front of Li Ang, accompanied by white smoke.

The scroll was similar in style to the Mount Myōboku contract that Naruto had signed in his memory, except that the color was slightly different.

He unrolled the scroll and saw two names.

Orochimaru, Sasuke Uchiha.

Seeing this, he bit his finger and then wrote his name in the characters of the Naruto world.

Thanks to his [Traveler] talent, otherwise Li Ang would have ended up like some martial arts champion who couldn't write his own name.

'Li Ang.'

Orochimaru's eyes flickered as he looked at the name on the scroll.

never heard of that.

He was certain that there hadn't been a ninja of such strength in any of the major ninja villages in recent years.

"Can the Dragon Lord continue?"

Orochimaru put away the scroll and said with a fake smile.

"Hmph, I remember signing a contract at Ryuchi Cave wasn't enough, was it? You have to take me around Ryuchi Cave."

Ryūchi Cave is different from Mt. Myōboku and Shikkotsu Forest. The snakes there are mostly unruly and cannot be used simply by summoning them.

Of course, for Li Ang, those snakes that were merely enormous were of little use. His real purpose was to meet the White Snake Immortal and see if he could learn the Immortal Mode of Dragon Earth Cave.

After a moment of silence, Orochimaru summoned a medium-sized ordinary snake: "Please inform Princess Tashin and ask her to summon us back to Ryuchi Cave."

As soon as he finished speaking, the little snake vanished instantly.

At that moment, Orochimaru glanced at Li Ang with his snake-like pupils.

He hadn't expected the person in front of him to know so much about Ryuji Cave.

Tsk. Too bad I didn't manage to fool them.

However, not only Ryuchi-dong, but also many others know him very well.

weirdo.

Soon, two magic arrays covered with densely packed characters unfolded beneath their feet.

Having studied psychic arts, Li Ang naturally knew that this was the effect of reverse psychic communication, so he did not resist it.

boom--

As the white smoke slowly dissipated, Li Ang found himself in a dark cave, having left Orochimaru's underground secret base.

Orochimaru, have you decided to train in Sage Mode?

At that moment, a voice carrying a hint of malice entered their ears.

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru replied with a sinister smile, "Princess Tanshin, I'm merely bringing a new contractor to find a suitable summoning beast."

"A newcomer, huh?"

The woman named Tianxin Shenji looked at Li Ang, who was standing to the side.

"hiss--!"

Seeing the ferocious expression on Tashin-no-Kami's face, which had transformed from human to snake, Orochimaru frowned slightly: "Tashin-no-Kami, you can't just eat your contractor without the White Snake Sage's permission, can you?"

"Feel sorry."

A hint of surprise appeared on Tianxin Shenji's face as she forcibly transformed her appearance back into a human one.

For some reason, the new contractor next to Orochimaru always made her feel very nervous.

At this moment, Li Ang spoke up, "Take me to see the White Snake Immortal. I want to learn the immortal techniques of Dragon Land Cave."

"Yes."

Princess Tianxin subconsciously responded in the manner of a subordinate.

However, Orochimaru's face showed a hint of displeasure: "Dragon Lord should know that cultivating Sage Mode takes a considerable amount of time, right? And you failed."

His implication was that picking a spirit beast for today would be enough, and he should hurry back and tell them the rest.

"Orochimaru, go back and prepare the details of the deal first," Li Ang retorted calmly. "As for failure..." "Do you think the words of someone who failed in their sage cultivation are credible?"

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru fell into a brief silence.

A few seconds later, he snorted coldly, then formed a hand seal and disappeared.

This clearly indicates that they agreed with Li Ang's statement.

At this moment, Li Ang looked at Tianxin Shenji, who was standing motionless in place: "Let's go."

He knew, of course, that cultivating immortal arts would take a considerable amount of time, but that didn't matter; he had basically obtained everything he could from Xiao.

Even if they are removed from the list, it's not a big problem.

As for capturing the tailed beast
It doesn't make much difference whether he's there or not.

"So that you may know, the White Snake Immortal is not..." Upon hearing Li Ang's words, Tianxin Shenji was about to refuse, but then her expression froze. "Please come with me, Your Excellency."

With that, she turned and walked deeper into the cave.

Along the way, Li Ang saw an extremely large number of snakes, some of which were even comparable in size to tailed beasts.

I have no idea what it ate to grow up like that.

Soon, Li Ang, led by Tianxin Shenji, arrived at a temple deep inside the cave.

Looking at the hunched old woman on the temple throne, Li Ang knew that she was the so-called White Snake Immortal.

Of course, besides the White Snake Immortal, there were two other women present who were dressed similarly to Princess Tianxin.

"It's been a long time since any guests have visited here."

The old woman left her throne, walked up to Li Ang, and began to look him up and down.

"You want to learn the Sage Techniques of Ryuchi Cave?"

Seeing Li Ang nod, the old woman suddenly laughed: "Then let me see if you're qualified."

As she spoke, her pupils turned into vertical pupils.

Unlike the old toad of Mount Myōboku, her prophetic abilities were very weak.

Of course, it's sufficient for the current situation.

After all, she just wanted to take a look at the not-too-distant future of this madman who came to Ryuchi Cave in search of power, and see if he was qualified to cultivate the immortal arts of Ryuchi Cave.

The magical arts of Ryūchi Cave are not something you can learn just by wanting to.

Then she saw it.

The bronze palace, larger than a planet, was filled with swirling clouds. A man whose face was obscured sat on a throne and cast his gaze upon him.

The dazzling golden eyes, like stars, nearly burned her soul to ashes.

'Oh, White Snake Sage, remember not to look at things carelessly in the future.'

The old woman gasped for breath, and the voice, as if from a hallucination, echoed in her mind.

what is that? ?

She looked at Li Ang, who seemed confused, with a blank expression.

She couldn't remember the specific details, only those incredibly intense golden eyes, and that...
She didn't know how to express it.

"White Snake Immortal?"

Seeing her like this, the three snake princesses beside her cried out in concern.

Upon hearing the sound, the old woman immediately came to her senses.

She first looked at the three snake queens, then at Li Ang, and then said, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh."

you?
The three snake princesses were taken aback; it was the first time they had ever seen the White Snake Immortal so respectful to a human.

Especially Tianxin Shenji, as one of the earliest members of Ryuchi Cave to come into contact with Li Ang, had already vaguely sensed that something was amiss.

But before they could react, the old woman suddenly disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, a white snake of an absurdly large size appeared in sight.

The White Snake Immortal canceled his incarnation.

It crawled to Li Ang's side, lowered its huge head, and said, "It is my honor that you wish to cultivate the immortal arts of Dragon Land Cave. I will now infuse you with natural energy."

"Oh?"

Li Ang probably realized what was happening by then.

He guessed that the White Snake Immortal's attitude had changed so drastically most likely because of his bloodline.

However, after obtaining the spell to conceal the aura of the dragon race at the [Aio Group], he had already learned and used it.

I don't know how this giant snake knew.

But thinking about it all now is pointless.

Li Ang activated his golden eyes, gazing at the white snake immortal before him, and said softly, "Interesting."

"Then come on."

After seeing Li Ang's golden eyes, the White Snake Immortal had only one thought in his mind.

Can't be wrong
The person in front of me is the owner of those eyes from before.

After a moment of silence, the White Snake Immortal made an extremely bold decision.

She's going all in.

Just as Mount Myōboku staked everything on the so-called chosen one, she was also betting the future of Ryūchi-dō on the person before her.

It might not be that exaggerated, but it's definitely one of the boldest things she's ever done in her many years of life.

Moreover, the fact that Ryūchi-dō has survived for so long despite its appalling practices is simply because it is opportunistic and has good judgment.
What she's doing now doesn't even qualify as a kneeling gesture; it's more like placing an early bet on a potential star.

'You didn't expect that, did you, you old toad?'

The White Snake Immortal looked at the 'human' before him and couldn't help but grin.
