Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1023 Success
This time, Qingming did not wait for the 'Three Elements Sealing Technique' to reach its final stage before tearing open the 'Sealing of All Things' and releasing the natural energy stored inside.

Instead, before casting the 'Three Elements Sealing Technique', he first extracted the natural energy from the alternate dimension in his abdomen.

As soon as these natural energies appeared, they affected his mind and body, showing signs of causing his body to lose control.

However, this natural energy is ultimately too little; after the previous round of consumption, it is less than a thousand points.

With this small amount of natural energy, Qingming, having already advanced to level 6 in 'Natural Energy Control', could easily control it.

Suppressing the restless ordinary chakra in his meridians caused by the appearance of natural energy, Qingming immediately focused his mind, raised his hands again to form hand seals, and unleashed the 'Three Elements Sealing Technique'.

Instantly, countless sealing spells appeared from his palm, quickly spreading throughout his body before contracting and finally transforming into a slightly curved triangular symbol, which was imprinted on his abdomen.

Then, a familiar scene unfolded: three sealing chains emerged from the apex of the triangle, reaching towards his spirit, his body, and the natural energy he had suppressed within his body.

The first two went smoothly, and the sealing chains quickly took root.

However, the second one didn't go so smoothly.

Indeed, without the restriction of 'Sealing All Things in the World', the third sealing chain quickly found its target and took root.

However, when Qingming released his control over these natural energies, they began to dissipate rapidly, visible to the naked eye.

If this trend continues, it won't be long before his 'Three Elements Sealing Technique' collapses again due to the destruction of its foundation.

Seeing this, Qingming pondered for a moment, then contacted one of the shadow clones that was absorbing natural energy and asked it to release the 'Shadow Clone Technique'.

In an instant, another thousand points of natural energy returned to the body.

Qingming immediately focused his mind and mobilized these natural energies, directing them toward the natural energies that form the foundation of the 'Three Elements Sealing Technique'.

The two clusters of natural energy converged smoothly, and the natural energy that subsequently entered his body successfully became the foundation of the 'Three Elements Sealing Technique'.

but
This cannot stop the loss of natural energy!
In other words, his 'Three Elements Sealing Technique' will eventually collapse after a period of time.

This made Qingming's expression somewhat unpleasant.

Previously, when he developed the 'Three Elements Sealing Technique', he only thought about suppressing natural energy and the Sage Chakra that would be generated later. He never expected that the foundation of the sealing technique would have problems.

This creates a paradox.

If he wants to maintain the 'Three Elements Sealing Technique' for a long time, he must store a large amount of natural energy in his body, but to store a large amount of natural energy, he must use the 'Three Elements Sealing Technique'.

It's fair to say that being single-minded has resulted in being blocked at both ends.

However, Qingming was not completely desperate.

He glanced at the panel and could see that his 'Three Elements Sealing Technique' had gained a little more proficiency.

It should be noted that his 'Three Elements Sealing Technique' has only just been imprinted on the panel, and he has not yet successfully mastered it.

Correspondingly, his understanding of this technique is still very one-sided.

Perhaps, once he improves his proficiency in this technique, things will change somewhat.

Thinking this, Qingming carefully sensed the changes in the 'Three Elements Sealing Technique' in his abdomen for a while, and then actively released the technique.

However, even though he voluntarily released it, the moment it 'released' his mind and body still had some impact on him.

Furthermore, the natural energies, once freed from the constraints of the 'Three Elements Sealing Technique,' immediately became restless.

Fortunately, Qingming's 'natural energy control' level was high enough that he easily controlled it.

Pulling his thoughts back, he stood still for a while, waiting for his body's self-healing ability to recover from the impact of the 'Three Elements Sealing Technique' before casting it again. Thus, for a full two hours, Qingming didn't even use the planned 'Heart Reflection Technique,' devoting all his time to the 'Three Elements Sealing Technique.'

Finally, its level was raised from lv0 to lv1 (1/200), which is the level of a beginner.

At that moment, a sudden realization dawned on Qingming, elevating his understanding of the 'Three Elements Sealing Technique' to a new level.

After a long period of contemplation with his eyes closed, Qingming opened them again.

This time, his face was no longer serious, but rather showed a hint of joy.

Without wasting a moment, he immediately caused several shadow clones that were absorbing natural energy to disintegrate.

In an instant, the natural energy within his body reached 10,000 points.

Qingming calmed himself down, using his level 6 'Natural Energy Control' to suppress the activity of these natural energies while simultaneously forming hand seals to unleash the 'Three Elements Sealing Technique'.

At first, everything was the same as before, and the two sealing chains successfully took root in his physical and mental energy.

However, in the final step, when the third sealing chain took root in the natural energy he had suppressed, the situation changed.

At this moment, the 'Three Elements Sealing Technique' no longer used these natural energies as the foundation for the seal's formation. Instead, it separated a portion of the natural energy and stored it within the sealing space it constructed.

This was also the first time he had truly stored natural energy since developing the 'Three Elements Sealing Technique'.

As it turned out, the sealing technique he developed targeting natural energy was surprisingly effective.

Even at level 1, it should be able to store more than 10,000 points of natural energy in the Azure Nether Sensing.

But that's not the most crucial point; the most crucial point is its stability.

Collecting his thoughts, Qingming continued to observe the changes in the 'Three Elements Sealing Technique'.

The sealing technique drew upon more and more natural energy, until it reached half of the natural energy outside, or five thousand points, before it stopped.

Well.
It can't be said that it has stopped.

Because after the natural energy inside and outside the seal reaches a balance, they are still exchanging energy with each other. The 'Three Elements Sealing Technique' draws natural energy from his body while simultaneously dissipating natural energy outward.

This cycle continued, maintaining the stability of the seal.

This was the solution he devised after mastering the 'Three Elements Sealing Technique' and drawing upon his insights.

Although he perceived that such a cycle could not achieve 100% utilization of natural energy, he could completely bear the slight loss.

As for the natural energy that would therefore be half restrained...
This is completely unimportant!
Not to mention that as his 'Natural Energy Perception' and 'Natural Energy Control' levels increase, the amount of natural energy he obtains per unit of time will also increase.

Even half of the natural energy we have now is only temporary.

Subsequently, as his 'Three Elements Sealing Technique' continues to upgrade, the amount of natural energy required to maintain its stability will decrease.

At that time, he will be able to use less natural energy to constrain or store more natural energy.

In the end, he didn't even need the participation of the natural energy in his body. As long as there was natural energy in the air, he didn't have to worry about the stability of the sealing technique.

However, it will probably be quite some time before that day comes.

Now.
We should continue to upgrade the 'Three Elements Sealing Technique' to allow it to store more natural energy.
