Chapter 521 Analysis of Fundamental Spells of Space and Time

Bang!

Li Yao created a shadow clone and pointed at it, saying to Hei Jue, "Proceed according to your plan. If there's anything you can't handle, tell my shadow clone. He will follow you from now on."

After saying that, Li Yaoying's clone used the Water Release: Infiltration Technique to penetrate into the air. Black Zetsu, who could not sense natural energy, could not detect the existence of Li Yaoying's clone.

However, Black Zetsu knew that Li Yaoying's clone must be nearby.

This sophisticated concealment technique served as a reminder to Black Zetsu that he now had no advantage over Li Yaozhen and could only follow his orders without harboring any other ulterior motives.

"I understand," Black Zetsu nodded.

"Then get lost." Li Yao smiled, then remembered something and reminded him, "Konoha is my playground, and I don't want anyone watching me, you know?"

"Understood, Lord Li Yao," Black Zetsu replied respectfully. "I will not allow a single White Zetsu to approach the vicinity of Konoha."

"Good to know." Li Yao smiled.

Immediately, Black Zetsu manipulated White Zetsu's body to sink into the ground, away from the vicinity of Konoha.

Li Yao also instantly returned to the Divine Might Space.

"How is it?"

The shadow clone in the Kamui dimension, responsible for researching space-time ninjutsu chakra, shook its head upon hearing Li Yao's main body's question and said, "I don't have much of a clue."

Although Li Yao already possessed quite a few space-time ninjutsu.

However, mastering true space-time chakra is still a long way off, and he has no idea how the nature of true space-time chakra changes.

By exploring the nature transformations using the spacetime chakra we currently possess, it's like arranging and combining a million different numbers to find a few combinations that fit the nature transformations of spacetime chakra.

The difficulty involved is so great that they could not finish tracing it even after thousands of years; it all depends on luck.

Therefore, the current research progress is zero.

Upon hearing the shadow clone's words, Li Yao frowned.

To get rid of the trouble caused by the progenitor of the Otsutsuki clan.

One that enhances the power of the soul.

One is to enhance strength.

Regarding research on enhancing soul power, both Wind Release clones and Sasori have their own directions, and a Shadow Clone is also researching and developing an advanced version of the Spirit Transformation Technique.

It can be said that they have all found their own path.

Regarding the ability of the Pure Land Space, Li Yao even planned to create a shadow clone to study it for a long time to see if he could create his own Pure Land Space to absorb souls and enhance his power.

Although he can now create a Pure Land space, it cannot compare to the soul power absorbed by the Sage of Six Paths over a thousand years.

But Li Yao wasn't trying to compete with the Sage of Six Paths.

His main goal was to get rid of the trouble caused by the ancestor of the Otsutsuki clan.

Therefore, Li Yao already has four directions for improving his soul power, and the next step is to work hard to find ways to improve it.

The only area where strength has stagnated is...

When facing the progenitor of the Otsutsuki clan, ordinary ninjutsu research is useless; only space-time ninjutsu will suffice.

However, based on the current research on shadow clones, it seems that space-time chakra is very difficult to research.

His space-time ninjutsu chakra was copied from the Dragon Vein.

Other space-time ninjutsu were also copied and developed from sealing techniques that have their own spatial effects, such as storage scrolls or sealing techniques.

Kamui relies on the Kamui Sharingan.

The Flying Thunder God Technique is derived from the art of spirit summoning.

It can be said that all space-time ninjutsu originates from existing space-time ninjutsu, without exception.

It's incredibly difficult to develop a space-time ninjutsu that's completely different from any other space-time ninjutsu, without relying on existing ones.

Unless it's a dojutsu like the Mangekyou Sharingan or Rinnegan that comes with its own space-time ninjutsu, it's extremely difficult to develop a new space-time ninjutsu on one's own.

"I think we can start with basic sealing spells and incantations."

Li Yaoying's clone suddenly said, "Whether it's the storage scroll, the Inner Four Symbols Sealing Technique, or the Spirit Summoning Technique, they are all composed of basic incantations."

"The basic incantations are derived from the analysis and perception of natural energy."

"Natural energy represents the rules of this world, including the rules concerning space and time. If we can extract the basic incantations concerning space and time from natural energy, transform them into basic space and time incantations, and then condense the corresponding space and time chakra from these basic space and time incantations, we can develop new space and time ninjutsu."

"Therefore, we can start from natural energy and perceive more basic spells and incantations related to space and time. The more we perceive and depict, the more complete our understanding of space-time chakra becomes."

"This is better than me being completely confused right now."

After listening to the shadow clone's words, Li Yao nodded excitedly and said, "Your idea is good, it's correct, let's follow your idea."

"But..." Li Yao suddenly frowned: "The Vortex Clan has found very few basic incantations related to space and time over the past few hundred years, which means that it is not easy to extract the basic incantations of space and time from natural energy, and it can even be said to be very difficult."

"The threat of the ancestor of the Otsutsuki clan is imminent; we don't have time to take things slowly."

"What methods are available to improve one's understanding of basic mantras related to natural energy?"

Li Yao and his shadow clone pondered together, exchanging memories and searching for places where they could see the fundamental spacetime incantations within natural energy more quickly or clearly.

A few minutes later, Li Yao and his shadow clone suddenly brightened up and exclaimed in unison, "That's right, the microscope from Kumogakure!"

Back in Yunyin Village, Li Yao thought the microscope in the research lab was very useful, but he didn't expect it to be useful so soon.

In addition to magnifying matter, the microscopes in Kumogakure also have the ability to amplify chakra fluctuations or the ability to visually perceive chakra.

At the time, the female researcher with big waves wanted to use a microscope to find trace amounts of Li Yao's chakra in the powder of the sealing chain.

If Li Yao's chakra was truly devoured by the sealing chains, then even a tiny amount would be visible under a microscope.

Unfortunately, Li Yao's chakra was not absorbed by the sealing chains, so they couldn't find him.

However, it cannot be denied that Yunyin's microscope is very useful.

Li Yao's idea was to create a microscope that amplifies natural energy fluctuations, based on the principle of a microscope amplifying chakra fluctuations.

In this way, the basic mantras contained in natural energy can be perceived more clearly through a microscope.

"Raikage's clone..."

Immediately, Li Yao connected his consciousness with the Fourth Raikage's clone and instructed them to research and create a microscope specifically designed to amplify natural energy.

"Gathering a large amount of natural energy perception is also a direction," the shadow clone suggested.

"The heart of a puppet!" Li Yao smiled, having also thought of this.

Natural energy in the natural world is in a state of flow and diffusion. Although it is everywhere, precisely because of this, perceiving and analyzing the basic incantations that are always in the flow of natural energy is like looking at a stream of water and finding a single drop of water. The difficulty is undoubtedly hellish.

However, once a large amount of natural energy is collected, the difficulty of sensing and analyzing it will undoubtedly decrease by one level.

The collection of large amounts of natural energy inevitably requires the use of the Puppet Heart.
