I became the Martial Ancestor across all realms, pioneering the strongest martial path.

Ryūchi-dō and Mt. Myōboku are both among the three sacred sites.

However, there are differences in many aspects. Toads and snakes are different species, that's natural.

In addition, the moment Li Wu appeared in Longdi Cave.

Instead of fleeing, several venomous snakes attacked him.

Although it didn't even break through Li Wu's skin or clothes, there was a layer of true qi protecting it.

However, judging from their performance...

They have very low intelligence, not much better than ordinary snakes.

This is a very different point.

The toads of Mount Myōboku, regardless of their strength, possess intelligence approaching that of humans.

This might be because the toads of Mount Myoboku help each other.

Those that have gained sentience will help other toads gain sentience, teaching them human ways of conduct and speech.

Over time, even a small toad will naturally strive to be no less capable than an ordinary person.

In Ryuchi Cave, only the law of the jungle prevails. What intelligent serpent would be so kind as to teach other serpents to speak?

Aside from this difference...

The commotion caused by Li Wu also attracted a large snake to the area.

The giant, one-eyed, crimson serpent was clearly intelligent and spiritual, yet it was not as intelligent as the little toad of Mount Myōboku.

Unable to recognize Li Wu, it attacked him as well, opening its mouth wide to bite him.

It's obvious that information flow in Ryūchi-dō isn't very good either!

Li Wu thought to himself, then his figure disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was at the tail of the giant snake.

With a large hand, I grabbed its tail.

He then used it as a whip, and after a simple 100 lashes, he turned all the surrounding venomous snakes into mincemeat.

The giant snake, on the other hand, had all its bones broken into several pieces.

Like a real whip, it's gone limp; clearly, it doesn't have much time left to live!

Upon seeing this, Li Wu snapped his fingers.

With a flash of red light, both the minced meat and the giant snake were completely refined.

The giant snake is quite intelligent and can enter the martial arts space, but the ordinary snakes are best left alone.

Of course, Li Wu wouldn't waste their souls either.

After all, he is a very frugal person; he always makes sure to finish every single grain of rice in his bowl.

Therefore, he can also refine his soul into energy!

Seeing that no snakes were bothering him anymore, Li Wu officially started to get down to business.

To prevent snakes from escaping, Ryuchi Cave must be sealed off first!

Huh, a snake spotted him?

His strength is decent; he must be the White Snake Sage from Ryuchi Cave?

Unfortunately, it's too late now; Ryuchi Cave has already been sealed off!

.........

Unlike Mount Myoboku, which is characterized by its mountainous terrain, Yongji Cave, as its name suggests, is an environment similar to an underground cave.

At this moment, inside a grand hall in the core area of ​​its central underground region.

Her face was aged, like that of a white-haired old woman, when she suddenly opened her eyes wide in terror.

They looked like they'd seen a ghost!

And it is none other than the White Snake Immortal of Ryuchi Cave.

White Snake Immortal: Actually, I'm not that scared of seeing ghosts. I saw Li Wu!

The large snakes in Ryuchi Cave are not good sources of information, unlike ordinary snakes.

They usually stayed in Ryuchi Cave and were unaware of what was happening in the ninja world.

But the White Snake Immortal knew that!

It doesn't need to gather any intelligence; its powerful perception ability alone is enough.

It's impossible that they couldn't sense the power Li Wu used when he destroyed the Allied Shinobi Forces.

Such a powerful being naturally deserves its attention.

Today, Li Wu suddenly appeared at Longdi Cave, and his intentions were not friendly; he killed any snakes he saw.

In addition, it seems to have sensed that the aura of Mount Myoboku, Ryuchi Cave's old rival, has disappeared.

This gave it a bad feeling.

That guy is preparing to attack the three holy lands? Even Mount Myōboku has already been destroyed?

Ryūchi-dō and Mt. Myōboku are actually at odds with each other.

In the story, Ganta from Mount Myoboku gets very annoyed whenever he sees Manda from Ryuchi Cave, and the two end up arguing.

In addition, snakes eat toads.

Judging from this small example, it's clear that the two holy sites are not on good terms.

And those who know you best are often your enemies, so Ryūchi-dō actually knows Mt. Myōboku very well.

With his powerful senses, the White Snake Sage naturally had a way to perceive the state of Mount Myōboku.

They realized that there was a problem with Mount Myōboku, and a big one at that, as if it had vanished.

It's perfectly reasonable that it noticed such a big commotion!

Just as a problem had occurred at Mount Myōboku, Li Wu arrived at Ryūchi Cave shortly afterward.

They've come with ill intentions, no doubt about that, even the White Snake Immortal doesn't believe it.

Without the slightest hesitation, they immediately set off to escape from Ryuchi Cave.

Anyway, it's not a big problem if the judgment is wrong.

The affairs of Ryuchi Cave, both large and small, are basically handled by the three goddesses: Tashin-hime, Ichikishima-hime, and Takitsu-kiyo.

There are three of them in charge.

If Li Wu only wanted to come here to ask for the immortal techniques of Longdi Cave, or to pay a visit or something.

The three of them are enough!

The White Snake Immortal could have easily remained hidden and uninvolved.

If Li Wu truly harbored ill intentions, then his act of running away was even more justified.

Fortunately, the three goddesses could buy them some time and protect them in front of them.

Absolutely perfect!

The Three Goddesses, though they appear to be human women, are actually giant serpents transformed through the cultivation of natural energy and immortal arts.

It is also one of only three large snakes besides the White Snake Immortal who can transform into human form.

They are quite strong, and they usually conduct some kind of triple trial, which means each goddess is responsible for one trial.

If anyone wants to obtain the immortal techniques of Longdi Cave, they must pass those three tests.

At this point, the three trials are equivalent to three layers of barriers!

With their power and lives.

To buy time for the White Snake Immortal to escape!

White Snake Immortal: Don't say I don't care about the safety of my subordinates!

The snakes of Ryuchi Cave operate on a law of the jungle: if they encounter a powerful enemy they cannot defeat or escape from, then death is the only option.

But the White Snake Immortal bears the mission of inheriting the Dragon Land Cave, a sacred place, so he has many more things to consider!

Having the three goddesses, or even other large and small snakes, in front of him was simply impossible.

Li Wu: Getting scammed is a tradition passed down through generations in Longdi Cave! That's a characteristic!

After all, Manda from Ryuchi Cave was tricked to death, for example, Sasuke used Manda to block Deidara's self-destruction in the story.

That death was so incredibly frustrating!

However, the White Snake Immortal was exceptionally decisive in escaping and also very decisive in harming his own snake.

To everyone's astonishment, Ryuchi Cave was sealed off? There was no way to escape!

Even though it was different from the toads of Mount Myōboku, it made no attempt to protect the weak snakes or its people!

They even planned to use them to buy time, and they didn't slack off at all during the entire escape.

But Li Wu said.

You didn't run fast enough, or ruthlessly enough! Ryūchi-dong has been sealed off!
