The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

"what!"

A burst of energy attracted the attention of the earth and rocks.

It was a boy of about ten years old. He threw a punch, and a powerful aura emanated from his body.

"Hmm, this kid's not bad. He can already mobilize the power of his internal energy?"

The guards responsible for carrying the earth and stones were surprised, and then briefly explained the process of a samurai's training to the earth and stones.

Simply put, it involves constantly refining one's body to enhance its foundation. Simultaneously, through continuous practice of martial arts techniques, one gains control over the body and eventually experiences the power of qi and blood contained within it. Being able to slightly mobilize this power to amplify one's martial arts techniques is considered the beginning of the skill.

Only then did the samurai possess true fighting power.

Tu Shi seemed slightly surprised.

"The warrior cultivates the power of qi and blood? It doesn't feel like physical energy; it seems to contain other things."

The term "vital energy" evoked many thoughts in Tu Shi.

The power of qi and blood, and the body's energy, do not seem to be the same type of energy...

"So, is the essence of essence, qi, and spirit the power of blood and qi or the body's energy?"

Tu Shi seemed to be deep in thought, and he noted down this idea, planning to study it carefully later to see what the difference was between the two.

Sensing and being able to mobilize the power of qi and blood is only the first step. The next step in a warrior's training is to continuously exercise and nourish the body, while further experiencing the wonders of martial arts techniques, until one can mobilize the power of qi and blood even without martial arts techniques. This is considered a minor achievement.

Further on, while continuing to nourish their body's Qi and blood, the samurai can now mobilize Qi and blood to replenish their physical body, causing their physical attributes to undergo a rapid transformation. Once this transformation reaches its peak, the samurai possesses the strength of a guard.

At the same time, if a warrior has enough talent and luck to comprehend the so-called will, his blood and qi power seems to be born with a spirit, and his qi can move at will. Only then can he be considered to have achieved great success.

A samurai who has mastered the art has reached the level of a Jonin.

"I see. Even for samurai, reaching the Jonin level of combat power requires a breakthrough in willpower. It seems that Jonin is a milestone in all training systems, and the ways to cross this milestone are all similar."

Of course, the ninja system is somewhat unique. Some special bloodline limit ninjas are naturally stronger than ordinary people in certain aspects. Naturally, once they reach the peak of their training, they already possess the combat power of a Jonin. Only after that do they need a breakthrough in willpower.

After waiting for a long time, seeing that the other party did not speak again.

"By the way, isn't there a concept of a level of perfection here?"

Tu Shi didn't think the other party was hiding anything; they probably genuinely didn't know.

It seems that the tribe's warrior tradition is only relatively complete, having only reached its peak.

Alternatively, the path a samurai can take is no longer fixed. Just like a ninja, breaking through to the Kage level requires self-awareness, finding one's own ninja way, and putting it into practice.

Samurai were probably the same.

However, ninjas possess spiritual energy, and although it requires repeated practice to record their insights as their own path, it is still much easier in this respect.

So how should the samurai take this step?

How did not only samurai, but also onmyoji and other various systems achieve this?

Is it just about forcing one to comprehend something?

Surely not?

If one were to rely on forced comprehension, the Kage-level talent here might be stronger than that of a Kage-level ninja.

There's no reason why they shouldn't be able to progress beyond the Kage level.

"It's highly likely that they took a shortcut."

Tu Shi didn't think too much about it. He looked at the boy who had just completed his breakthrough and watched him excitedly continue to swing his fist, but he didn't throw the same punch again. He slowly became disappointed.

At this moment, the instructor in charge of teaching the boy stepped forward to explain.

The first breakthrough was indeed related to talent, but it also had an element of shortcuts. However, once you've achieved that first breakthrough, things become much easier afterward. By constantly practicing, finding that feeling again, and reproducing it, you can ensure that every strike is flawless and free of shortcuts—that's how you truly solidify your skill level.

The instructor glanced at Tu Shi, nodded to the middle-aged guard beside him, and then turned back to continue watching the children's training.

"Does your tribe have any other traditions?"

After learning about the process of samurai training, Tushi became interested in other traditions, but he only asked about them casually.

After all, it's already quite generous of a samurai to show off the most widely circulated and least different samurai traditions. Other traditions usually have unique characteristics and can't be passed on just like that.

Samurai heritage is almost universal across the entire continent; even if it's not shown to you, people can obtain it elsewhere.

But an exclusive inheritance is different; it's almost always one of a kind, making it more precious than a samurai inheritance.

However, when Tu Shi asked the question casually, he saw the middle-aged man next to him looking at him with a strange expression.

"Of course there are. Didn't you just see it? The method of brewing medicine is also a tradition. It's another side profession that assists in the inheritance of warriors. Besides that, there are also the inheritance of incantations and Buddhist and Taoist traditions."

The middle-aged man listed several other traditions, proudly raising his head like a victorious rooster.

"That's why we call ourselves a large tribe!"

This surprised Tu Shi.

It seems they have the confidence to call themselves among the top three.

With so many traditions listed, the heritage is indeed profound.

However, is brewing medicine a form of inheritance? Medicine? Alchemist?

That's something worth looking into.

Tu Shi himself was responsible for pioneering the alchemy system. Although he has not yet fully integrated the yin-yang combination of natural energy into alchemy and has not yet reached a bottleneck, there is nothing wrong with learning from it.

The more the better.

I just don't know what incantation is. Is it chanting spells and then casting magic?

This is quite similar to hand seals for performing ninjutsu, but what kind of energy do they rely on?

To draw upon natural energy?

If that's the case, then it's worth investigating.

There are also Buddhist and Taoist traditions.

Ah!

Buddhism has a very wide range of paths; it touches on many things.

We forgot about the main continent. Let's see if we can get a copy here first. If it's valuable, we'll also try to get a copy of the main continent's legacy.

Buddhism emphasizes cultivating the mind; I wonder if this mind is related to willpower.

Moreover, Buddhism and Taoism should be able to draw some inspiration from visualization techniques.

Among these traditions, the methods of decocting medicine should be common to most people, since they don't seem to require much skill. The only difficulty is probably the collection of medicines and the various nourishing parts of wild animals.

Deep down, Tu Shi was actually quite happy.

It's a good thing that there's a lot of inheritance, because then there's no need to collect from other tribes.

Moreover, Tu Shi, who had read some general information about the mainland, also knew that there were two paths after reaching the peak of the inheritance.

If that's the case, doesn't the High Priest have any other lineage?

This involves the inheritance of the Shadow level, which is the priest level.

Over the years, surely one high priest has reached the pinnacle of cultivation, but what about the other inherited systems that have been collected?

The lineages of incantations and Buddhist/Taoist traditions may be part of it, but there should be others as well.

Ah, how wonderful!

Such a wealth of heritage is almost impossible to find on the main continent.

Indeed, ninjas still posed a significant obstacle to the development of the ninja world.

A single flower does not make spring; a hundred flowers blooming together make spring!

For Uchiha Kiyoshi, these relatively well-developed traditions and inheritances were perhaps the greatest treasure.

Chapter 335 The Visualization Method Will Be Completed

Next, under the middle-aged man's leadership, Tu Shi finished looking at everything and returned to his residence.

"If possible, could you let me see the lineage of samurai training? I'd also be very interested in any other lineages as well."

The middle-aged man was in a dilemma after hearing Tu Shi's words. Then he heard the high priest's voice and said, "You will have to talk to the high priest yourself. I will take you there now."

Tu Shi and his group were all under the high priest's surveillance. It can be seen that Tu Shi was interested in the training of warriors, or rather, Tu Shi seemed to be interested in all new systems that did not belong to his lineage.

This further convinced the high priest that the other party's path had come to an end.

So at this point, a difficult question arises: to what extent has the inheritance of earth and stone reached?

Is it that there is a direction and method to break through to the priest level, just enough to support a person to cultivate to the priest level, but there is no cultivation inheritance after the breakthrough, or is it that it is completely complete and enough to support a person to cultivate to the peak?

This means that the earth and stones could be priest-level floor tiles, or top-tier priest-level combat power.

Ultimately, the high priest decided to try his best to meet the other party's needs, regardless of which option it was.

After all, a lineage that can be cultivated to the priest level is already one of the top lineages on the continent. Most lineages that can be completely intact and cultivated to the highest level are top secret. Even though various exchanges are popular on the continent now, such lineages are still hard to come by.

At most, it would be to exchange the complete inheritance and only give the first part, as well as the direction and method for breaking through to the priest level.

Many top-tier lineages arise in this way. Originally complete lineages are stripped of their final parts and exchanged, thus forming top-tier lineages. What remains are lineages that didn't initially reach the priest level, but were transformed into top-tier lineages by exceptionally talented inheritors who discovered the path or genuinely broke through to a higher level, finding the methods and direction for such breakthroughs.

Hearing what the middle-aged man said, Tu Shi knew that the high priest was probably already in a state of semi-agreement. Now it all depended on how much leverage he could offer.

The High Priest had been monitoring him all along; how could Tu Shi not know that? His true form was, after all, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and Tu Shi's own strength had reached the Transcendent Shadow level, surpassing the Priest's level. Even if he couldn't sense the specific spying, he would still have a vague feeling about it.

Led by the middle-aged man, Tu Shi once again arrived at the building where the high priest resided.

Enter it.

"Dear guest, you've arrived."

"I want the heritage your tribe possesses. I also know the customs of the continent. I want to know what price you will have to pay."

"Equivalent exchange is acceptable; inheritances of the same level can be exchanged."

"What if there are outstanding individuals among those of the same level?"

"It seems you are very confident in your ability to pass on your legacy."

Tsuchishi's opinion is debatable, but this point needs to be clarified. Any tradition will inevitably have its strengths and weaknesses. Take the ninja system, for example; no matter what Tsuchishi himself says about it, the appeal of this tradition is undeniable.
