The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

"The number of shikigami is still limited, and the daily growth that the soul can withstand is also limited. Once too many shikigami are contracted and they grow, the soul will eventually be overwhelmed."

This is also one of the conditions for becoming an Onmyoji.

It possesses good potential for spiritual growth.

For beginners, like those who inherit the skills, the requirements aren't actually that high. However, for Onmyoji who rely on lineage inheritance, the conditions are incredibly demanding. After all, the inherited shikigami are so powerful that their immediate impact is enough to overwhelm most players.

Not to mention doing this every day.

The difficulty in passing on the Onmyoji lineage is not solely due to this reason. Otherwise, if Onmyoji were trained directly from scratch, the requirements would be lower, and although progress would be slower, at least they could still cultivate.

There is another reason, which is the need for rune inheritance.

It's not a complete inheritance, but rather learning the rune system within the Onmyoji tradition. The inscription of these runes is top-tier even within sealing techniques, at least at the level of advanced sealing techniques.

The key issue is that in most Onmyoji lineages, there is only this contract. It's such a complex thing, and without a foundation, very few people can learn it.

Of course, if the tribe has a foundation in the inheritance of runes, then learning it might be easier, but the difficulty will not be much less.

After all, it's difficult.

Besides that, the most important thing is to depict the scroll.

It's not enough to just learn and understand it.

One must also use one's own strength to condense and inscribe the corresponding contract, unless one is quite proficient in contracts and dares to guarantee that one can inscribe it in a very short time.

However, such abilities are usually possessed by veteran Onmyoji whose souls have become powerful enough.

At the same time, Zu realized something else.

This is also a hidden point that we hadn't noticed before.

That is, the signing of contracts using the inscription technique requires the operation of energy.

In other words, before an Onmyoji truly contracts with their first shikigami, they undergo training through other systems.

Whether a warrior or someone else, one must possess their own energy and cultivate it to the point where they can inscribe the entire contract in one breath.

Even with the blood and qi power that Zu now possesses, which is sufficient to support his elite Jonin strength, it is only barely enough for him to depict. Of course, there may be reasons why blood and qi power is difficult to control, but the difficulty in depicting this contract cannot be denied.

Its complexity is comparable to advanced sealing techniques, and its quantity far exceeds that.

Such a contract would naturally stump most people.

"Every Onmyoji must have other lineages!" Zu secretly warned himself. In the future, when he encountered an Onmyoji, he must consider the lineage that the other party may have cultivated before becoming a full-time Onmyoji. Otherwise, he might really be caught off guard and suffer a setback.

It should be noted that this was a lineage cultivated before the other party became an Onmyoji. With the shikigami, their status and resources have been greatly enhanced. In addition, with the strengthening of their soul itself, the cultivation of the first lineage will definitely reach a higher level.

"A priest-level Onmyoji must be a priest-level master from one of two different systems!"

Unless the other party's first lineage is truly incomplete...

Even if he is not a priest-level Onmyoji, his first line of inheritance may still be priest-level.

In short, Onmyoji is a very peculiar character, so be careful when you encounter him.

After working hard for half a day, the shikigami was finally signed, and Zu was eager to try out the methods of an Onmyoji.

At this moment, he could feel that he could mobilize the power within the spirit body of the shikigami, just like the power of blood and chakra. However, using this power on his own was probably not as effective as using it in the shikigami body.

Spiritual power is a unique energy system generated by shikigami absorbing natural energy.

Ancestor mobilized his spiritual power and formed a hand seal.

Suddenly, as if he had gained some kind of instinct, he stretched out his right hand, and with a thought, a ball of flame ignited above his right hand.

"With fire, there's no need for earth and stones for alchemy anymore; I can do it myself."

Zu smiled and nodded in satisfaction.

Then, as if he had an idea, he put away the flames and manipulated the shikigami to release the flames.

Instantly, a more intense flame, radiating an even stronger scorching heat, rose up.

"The difference is huge!"

After trying to control it, Zu found that this method seemed to be more cost-effective.

One option is to acquire the shikigami's abilities and use them yourself, allowing you to directly control the flames. The other option is to control the shikigami to unleash the flames, but you need to go through the shikigami to control the flames.

Overall, the second method is more cost-effective.

Controlling the shikigami is quite easy and has little impact; on the contrary, the effects of borrowing the shikigami's abilities are not very good.

"We have the Fire Spirit now, should we collect all five elemental spirits next?"

Zu's heart stirred, and he began to consider the feasibility.

"Speaking of the Five Elements, should we choose wind, thunder, water, fire, earth, or metal, wood, water, fire, earth?"

......

It should probably be wind, thunder, water, fire, and earth, since the foundation of the ninja world is likely these five elements; metal, wood, water, fire, and earth might not be as compatible. Besides, these five elements are officially verified, so at least there shouldn't be any problems.

The idea of ​​the Five Elements Shikigami took shape in Zu's mind. He decided that if possible, he would try to select Shikigami from these five aspects to complete the Five Elements set, which might bring different results.

Five Elements Body Tempering, Five Elements Soul Refining...

In short, the combined effects of the five elements are numerous.

There's even hope that the five elements could come together to form the basic framework of a world. In that case, it's not impossible to create a small world based on the five shikigami.

"Huh? That makes sense. Hmm, I'll write it down and see if it's possible to achieve this—a small world, an inner world..."

Although Zu was interested in the idea, he didn't think about it too much.

Firstly, this is a bit ahead of its time. It's questionable whether the five shikigami can even hold on. Don't forget that there are also various clones in addition to the main body. Who knows if the situation of the clones will affect the number of shikigami that can be contracted? Before obtaining the five elemental shikigami, all of this is just wishful thinking.

Secondly, of course, this kind of thing shouldn't be his responsibility in the first place. Even if his ancestor was smarter than the average person in the ninja world, he was still just an avatar. Such a huge project should be left to the main body.

It's a bit of an overstatement to say that Zu is smarter than the average person in the ninja world, since spirituality is limited. However, in terms of development and other matters, Zu is indeed stronger than the people in the ninja world. This is mainly due to his foundation, which is supported by the huge theoretical foundation of Uchiha Kiyoshi's original body. In addition, he is not conservative in his thinking and does not directly reject various ideas. Even if he only relies on routines, he can find feasible solutions. This is the fundamental reason for his strength.

Thought.

This is something that many people have overlooked before.

In fact, compared to others, Uchiha Kiyoshi's real advantage lies in this point.

The development of ideas, boundless imagination, and occasional flashes of inspiration are what have made him who he is today.

Of course, a solid foundation is also important, including vision and cultural background.

However, it cannot be denied that Uchiha Kiyoshi's true core was his ideology.

The rapid development in the previous life over a mere few hundred years owes much to the development of ideas.

In particular, the country of China, where Uchiha Kiyoshi lived in his previous life, has covered in just a few decades what Western countries took hundreds of years to achieve!

The development of ideas is absolutely of paramount importance.

It was in this environment that Uchiha Kiyoshi was able to possess a level of thinking that no one in the ninja world could reach.

Leaving aside the influence of that brainwashing rule, the education system and various social atmosphere in the ninja world have led to people being too conservative in their thinking.

This is also why the admission criteria for the Immortal Academy are set at children under five years old.

Children at this stage have developed a certain level of independent living skills, but their thinking has not yet fully formed, so they may still be influenced by others.

As for those who are precocious, the Immortal Academy might not even consider it an advantage.

Being precocious is impressive, but once you understand the world and have your own ideas at a young age, it's already very difficult to change them, especially now that you're in the first stage. The Immortal Academy doesn't have the resources to arrange a perfect process to teach him.

Otherwise, what if we train a traitor?

The biggest drawback of precocity was fully demonstrated in Itachi Uchiha.

It's not about being rebellious.

Rather, although they have the ability to understand things, their foundation is too shallow.

Precociousness is not the same as being born with knowledge.

He wasn't taught the basics before being taken to the battlefield, which led him to get stuck on trivial details and eventually become obsessed, ultimately harming him.

It's already quite good that he's so young, able to do errands, be sensible, obedient, and even started learning these things. There's no need to make him think about something like war, which is still unresolved even in the ninja world.

What is war?

What, then, is peace?

Is this something a five-year-old should be thinking about?

"Hmm... Has Fugaku already taken Itachi to the battlefield?"

No, I need to notify the main body.

Zu used the technique of Annihilation and Resurrection to transmit his most recent memories back, and then began to study the shikigami.

Kiyoshima Island.

Uchiha Kiyoshi had just completed a major project and was in high spirits when the memories of his ancestor flooded back.

"I didn't really pay attention before. I just thought I could arrange someone to do ideological work with Itachi. I didn't think that far ahead. The idea of ​​ideological education only came to mind after the idea of ​​the academy was conceived..."

Ugh, this is giving me a headache.

Patting his head to ease his worries, Uchiha Kiyoshi handed the task over to Hui, asking him to explain things to Itachi on the battlefield as much as possible, so that he wouldn't get bored.

He's a genius, a peerless genius. If he's properly educated when he's young and his thinking is corrected, he could be a powerful helper.

"Forget it, let Hui handle this for now. I'm in a good mood right now and can't be disturbed."

Uchiha Kiyoshi handed the matter over to Hui, while he himself focused his attention on the results he had just achieved.

The visualization method was completed.

Chapter 346 The Simplest Contemplation

Uchiha Kiyoshi devised the method of visualization.

After going through all the details, we finally produced the initial version.

"We'll have to see how the training goes and then refine it."

Visualization is essentially about concentrating your energy and visualizing an object in your mind in order to refine your soul.
