The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

"Three immortals."

What level of existence are those three?

Over a thousand years! Even if he had only absorbed natural energy, he would probably have reached the Six Paths level by now, and his insights would be enough to be imprinted on the world.

Therefore, they are pursuing a different path.

Immortal!

"Immortals achieve their goals through self-realization, free from the constraints of heaven and earth, but this is extremely difficult."

Just look at the three great immortals; they haven't become immortals even after so long, which shows how difficult it is.

Perhaps they only know the general direction, but not how to actually achieve it.

Whether there have ever been cases of ninjas achieving immortality is unknown, but there must have been speculation about it.

With their lineage passed down, the immortals of the three holy lands naturally chose this unknown path.

"Since gods are immortal souls, then immortals must cultivate both body and spirit."

Tu Shi had no doubt about this. That's what he did from the very beginning.

Cultivating both body and mind is the right path.

Neither the soul nor the body should be abandoned.

"Phew~ I'm a bit tired. I don't want to think about it anymore. This kind of thing should be left to the main body."

Well, it's not exactly just wild speculation; at least it gives me some direction for the road ahead.

However, it's best to leave such matters to the main body. After all, the spirituality that the soil and stones receive is limited, and their capacity for thought is also limited. The following matters should be left to the main body for analysis.

After reading through the complete introductory manual, Tu Shi gained a more intuitive understanding of the Onmyoji system.

"Let's not summarize yet. Let's go out and see the other traditions of the tribe, the training of the warriors in the guard, and the existence of other possible systems."

Tu Shi still remembers that when he first developed the art of health preservation, he was inspired by some samurai.

From the very beginning, there was no disdain for other systems.

However, Uchiha Kiyoshi had never encountered a systematic lineage other than that of ninjas, which is why he had never been interested in other training systems.

Otherwise, if one wants to learn something from these systems, one would probably have to collect information, organize it, summarize it, and then come up with a whole bunch of theories to enrich and improve the warrior system, and only then might it be of any help to one's path of cultivation.

But in that case, it would be better to focus on pioneering the path of cultivation.

Learning from others is fine, but creating a new system in order to learn from others is a thankless and arduous task.

I've already created and organized a new system. Why don't I use this time to think about the cultivation system and apply the same ideas directly to its development? Why go through all that trouble?

As expected, there were two members of the guard team outside when I stepped out of the cabin.

"They were probably guarding me. Although they meant no harm, I can understand."

Tu Shi's expression remained unchanged. After walking out, he saw the two guards, but instead of being angry, he acted as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Dear guest, how can we help you? We are happy to assist you."

Upon seeing the earth and stones emerge, the two guards bowed and offered their assistance.

It seems that although they came to monitor, perhaps because of the high priest's instructions, they were still very respectful to Tu Shi.

"I'd like to see some cultivation methods on the mainland and learn from them to see if they can help my current cultivation. I wonder if I could visit your tribe. Of course, it would be even better if you had any cultivation lineage materials."

The last sentence, "earth and stone," wasn't meant to be a big expectation; it was just a polite remark.

Upon hearing that Tu Shi wanted to witness their cultivation, the two guards did not react too strongly. Their captain, the middle-aged strong man who had brought Tu Shi in at the beginning, had said that Tu Shi was stronger than him.

This also shows that the earth and stone itself possess a more complete lineage than the martial arts training.

It's quite strange.

In the New World, tribes place great importance on lineage. Many small tribes lack a complete tradition and are forced to rely on others. Therefore, lineage, to a certain extent, represents status.

However, there is another idea that almost everyone agrees on: if the other party has a higher level of inheritance, then whether or not one shows their lower-level inheritance to that person is not a big deal.

Aside from systems like Onmyoji, which may have different lineages passed down in different tribes, the same applies to lineages like Samurai, which are almost universally prevalent.

Therefore, when they heard that Tushi wanted to witness their warrior training, the two even felt a great sense of accomplishment.

They have a higher level of tradition, and we need to learn from their martial arts training. How can we not be proud?

Since the other party is being so kind, they won't be stingy with their money.

At the same time, the high priest's instructions in their minds further dispelled their doubts, so the two agreed without hesitation. One of them led Tu Shi to tour the tribe, and especially when passing through the cultivation area, he would give Tu Shi various explanations.

The other one went to inform the captain.

While the warriors were training in the earthen hall, the high priest fell into deep thought.

Although he explained the origin of the soil and stones and showed no ill will towards the tribe, the high priest did not let up on his surveillance.

After all, in the High Priest's perception, Tu Shi was a dangerous person, someone of the same level as her.

In the original continent, this wouldn't be called Shadow-level, but rather Priest-level combat power.

With such a powerful figure visiting the tribe, the high priest naturally had to carefully arrange the earth and stones.

She could "see" everything Tu Shi did in the tribe. Of course, to respect his privacy, she didn't monitor him inside his hut.

She had overheard what Tu Shi and the two guards had said.

"Have they started drawing inspiration from other systems? Is his inheritance merely at the priest level, or has he truly cultivated a fairly complete inheritance to its peak?"

......

Chapter 334 Learning from the Strengths of Others

In the primitive continent, the priest level of combat power is the ceiling, and no higher level of combat power has ever appeared in history.

Although some firmly believe that something even more powerful exists, no one has actually achieved it.

Therefore, when they cultivate to a certain level, especially when the inheritance comes to an end, they will naturally split into two different camps.

One of them is the explorer group, who constantly refine their own training system in an attempt to find higher-level possibilities.

The other is the conservative school. As the name suggests, after cultivating their own lineage to its peak, they begin to refer to other systems to improve their own shortcomings, practicing multiple systems simultaneously to achieve complementarity and make their methods more perfect.

Of course, there are also those who pursue both paths simultaneously. They draw on other systems, learn from their strengths, and attempt to perfect their core heritage and forge a higher path.

Hearing that the earth and stone were to learn from the warriors' path, the high priest was filled with many emotions.

It seems that his cultivation lineage has indeed reached its end, and he has come out to gain experience.

However, this experience is more about broadening one's horizons, enriching oneself, and collecting and passing down knowledge.

"Perhaps he has his eye on the legacy of the Onmyoji."

From yesterday's conversation, the High Priest could also sense that Tushi was interested in the Onmyoji lineage.

From this, we can see that firstly, the other party is not an Onmyoji, and secondly, the other party has become interested in inheriting the Onmyoji tradition.

The only difference is that the lineage of Onmyoji is different from other systems.

The most precious inheritance of Onmyoji is the various secret techniques and the shikigami themselves. Shikigami are definitely not to be given away. As for the secret techniques, they are the wealth accumulated by different Onmyoji from different tribes over generations, which is different from the universal inheritance of samurai.

"If you really want it, you have to consider what price you're willing to pay..."

The concept of inheritance is quite contradictory on this continent.

For those without a lineage, acquiring one is as difficult as climbing to the heavens.

For those who already possess a legacy, the nature of that legacy seems to have changed. Those who possess a higher-level legacy naturally seem to have a higher status. Obtaining a lower-level legacy is easy, and obtaining a legacy of the same or higher level is not without its ways, as long as the price is right.

It's as if they possess a complete lineage and have acquired some kind of qualification.

This is actually related to the two major factions on the mainland.

The first type of faction is ultimately a minority, with no successful cases. This means that the combat power of this faction has not improved, and it is naturally at a disadvantage when facing another faction of the same level whose strength has improved. In many battles, it gradually loses its advantage and is eventually eliminated over time.

The strongest members of the First Faction on the mainland are now living in seclusion in the deep mountains and forests, partly to avoid vendettas and partly to focus on their research.

On the mainland, most people take the second route, or a route that prioritizes the second route and uses the first route as a supplement.

As a result, they naturally developed a need for other forms of inheritance.

Over time, the exchange of traditions has become much simpler.

Of course, the principle of equivalent exchange remains unchanged.

The reason why things have developed to this point, rather than developing a culture of plunder and extortion, is due to the influence of Onmyoji.

On the mainland, wherever there is a lineage, there are Onmyoji in charge. Although the total number of Onmyoji is the smallest, they are mostly at least Jonin level because of their super-fast cultivation speed and the ability to pass on their knowledge. In addition, Onmyoji protect their respective tribes and are worshipped by the tribesmen.

If you want to forcibly seize it, the other party must be someone whose combat strength is not much different from yours, otherwise you wouldn't be interested in their legacy.

In this way, both sides have no choice but to fight to the death. Because the Onmyoji's shikigami are bound to the tribe, the guardian spirit of the entire tribe, it means that after the battle, the defeated shikigami cannot be subdued. At most, they can only inherit the spirit, and more likely, it will be destroyed by the opponent.

Not worth the candle.

"Although the data may be a bit far-fetched to say that it is among the top three in strength on the entire continent, it should be among the top ten."

Looking at everything in the tribe, Tu Shi was also making judgments in his heart.

There are few people, but enough resources.

Elite route!

Every child in the tribe begins training from a young age, with ample medicine and exercise. Even those with average talent can possess Chunin-level combat power by the time they are in their thirties or forties.

This is one of the advantages of the samurai path: even with less talent, as long as resources and effort are sufficient, one can still continuously improve.

The lower limit is high.

And how bad could the offspring of a tribe with many strong individuals be, even if they were less talented?

If these children can live to their thirties or forties, they will probably have the strength of the current guard team.

Perhaps this is how they pass on their legacy, generation after generation.

"Bull Fist"

"Hey!" "Ha!"

Unlike the main continent, where martial arts traditions are mostly swordsmanship, here the martial arts of warriors are also quite comprehensive, including fist and leg techniques.
