Naruto: I, the villain template, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 76 Immortal Cultivation System, Cleansing the Three Holy Lands

As dusk falls and the sun sets behind the western mountains.

The gentle sunset slowly disappeared over the sea.

The diffused sunlight fell on the deck, refracting a faint red glow.

In the cabin, Yun Chuan sat cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed.

"Hiss... Huff..."

He inhaled softly and silently, without deliberately trying to take a deep breath, but the long, moist air kept flowing into his lungs, like a whale swallowing the ocean, refreshing yet slightly damp and cold.

If there were any outsiders in this room, they would definitely feel a strong sense of suffocation.

The amount of oxygen stored and used in his body has reached an alarming level.

Generally speaking, inhaling this level of oxygen should have already caused signs of oxygen toxicity.

But in terms of how he feels right now, Yun Chuan feels great, he's never felt this good before.

He could clearly feel the air flowing through his senses every second, as if it were water.

With each breath, oxygen enters his lungs through his respiratory tract, infusing into his blood and expelling carbon dioxide from his body.

The oxygen content in the blood begins to surge, combining to produce oxyhemoglobin. The body's hormone secretion doubles, and hormones are transported to all parts of the body to supply cells with cellular respiration, causing metabolism to accelerate.

Like a stubborn rock in a stream being constantly washed away, eventually leaving only smooth, moist pebbles.

"call!"

A moment later, Yun Chuan finally opened his eyes, a strange light flashing in his deep blue eyes.

"Is this the effect of clear vision and a transparent world, combined with the Lost Cat and the breathing technique?"

Yun Chuan reached out and gently pressed his hand against his chest, feeling the strong, powerful beating of his heart. He then slightly raised one arm and slowly turned it over.

It's like observing something new, something that's appearing in front of you for the first time.

The world he saw became dazzling and colorful.

Colorful ribbon-like gases floated in the air—or perhaps it would be more accurate to describe them as mycelium-like.

They were like something between the intangible and the tangible, and they would sway and disperse in the air as his arms stirred.

Following that swirling force, they intertwined and twisted together, then gradually reformed under some kind of pull, reminding Yun Chuan of a swirling eddy in the water.

"The blue stuff must be nitrogen, and the whitish-blue stuff is oxygen, along with water vapor and other gases..."

Yun Chuan tried to discern the illusory and ethereal matter before him, but his luminous, deep blue eyes suddenly froze.

When his fingers touched the nearly transparent wisp of gas, he felt a deep chill that was uncontrollably seeping into his body.

The wisp of gas spread along his fingers, flowing through one of the meridians, gradually turning his fingers gray.

It looks like...

"Petrification?"

Feeling his body gradually stiffen, Yun Chuan subconsciously frowned: "What the hell is this thing?"

The Lost Cat's ability to control air was surprisingly unable to control that wisp of air-like substance.

It is formless and colorless, uncontrollable, and impossible to contain.

In other words, this is not "qi" (vital energy), but rather...

"Energy?" Yun Chuan's eyes flickered slightly. "With the Pure Eye and the Transparent World combined, you can actually see energy?"

Now that he thinks back, he vaguely saw something similar when he used the [Transparent World] feature before.

While pondering, Yun Chuan mobilized the abundant qi and blood within his body to block the petrifying erosion and forcibly counteract and exhaust that wisp of qi.

The petrification only stopped completely when that wisp of white vapor dissipated.

With a sudden, bone-piercing jerk of his fingers, he instantly ripped off the stone-like skin covering the body, revealing the bloody muscles and blood vessels beneath.

"This feeling of déjà vu..."

After a moment of thought and recollection, Yun Chuan quickly realized what was happening and whispered, "An invasion of natural energy."

As the saying goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.

Although he did not train in chakra, he was very familiar with this power.

The human body contains 130 trillion cells, each with physical and mental energy, but not everyone has chakra.

Ordinary chakra is the power that is fused and condensed after the physical energy and mental energy are balanced. Only when the two elements are mixed evenly can ninjutsu, taijutsu and genjutsu be released by consuming a certain amount of chakra.

In Yun Chuan's view, this power actually posed a certain hidden danger.

Because "chakra" is not a native product of the ninja world, but a byproduct that appeared after Kaguya Otsutsuki descended.

The sacred tree she brought could not only transform natural energy, but also extract physical and spiritual energy from the human body.

This is the origin of chakra.

In contrast, the "natural energy" of the world cycle is the true power of the ninja world.

The Sage Mode used by the three holy lands involves absorbing natural energy into the body and merging it with physical and spiritual energy to create what is known as Sage Chakra.

The ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu that utilize this power are called Sage Arts.

The combination of these core capabilities seems to have produced unexpected and special effects.

"It's a pleasant surprise that the Transparent World can detect the existence of natural energy. After all, template abilities that require special energy to use will definitely appear in the future."

"The [Energy] section of the main template's [Four Dimensions] has been stuck at Rank F, probably because of this," Yun Chuan said thoughtfully, stroking his chin. "However, natural energy cannot be directly utilized..."

The finger was visibly recovering. He gently tapped his knee and muttered to himself, "Without mastering the method of converting natural energy, directly absorbing large amounts of natural energy will cause the human body to gradually return to nature."

It undergoes an unstoppable petrification process, turning into a lifeless stone.

"It seems we need to find a way to obtain the cultivation method for Sage Mode." Yun Chuan pondered, his eyes deep. "Although I don't intend to become a toad, snake, or slug, it's always good to learn from it."

Anyone with a brain knows that their magical arts are not suitable for humans, otherwise they wouldn't have those frog-like or snake-like side effects.

Therefore, rather than directly cultivating the so-called immortal mode of the three holy lands, he would rather use this to research a method of utilizing natural energy.

While pondering, Yun Chuan's eyes suddenly froze as he focused his consciousness into his mind.

"To create a new system of immortal arts and cleanse the three sacred lands?"

Looking at the phased mission, Yun Chuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression became intriguing.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a generous reward, and the entire mission spanned as long as 35 years.

"Everyone's a dragon, huh? They really dare to say that."

Yun Chuan smiled, got up, walked to the window, and pulled back the curtains and the inner blackout drape.

When the sun sets and day and night are indistinguishable, the red glow of the setting sun shines into the room, where tiny dust particles are fixed in place.

Under the setting sun, Yun Chuan's eyes were even more profound than the sea reflecting the red clouds.

Boom!dong dong!

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door of the room. The knocking had a formulaic rhythm, and it sounded like they were adhering to discipline and rules.

"Nagato?" Yun Chuan said softly without turning around, "Please come in."

As soon as the words were spoken, the crisp sound of the door opening followed.

"Brother," Nagato's deep voice came, "I sense a large fleet approaching us. They don't seem to have any intention of making way. Should we avoid them for now...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Yun Chuan interrupted him.

"I should avoid his sharp edge?" A rosy glow reflected on his face, and Yun Chuan's tone was tinged with laughter. "No, no, no, this is an unexpected delight."
