Closed Exile

At first, Ars didn't take Lin Fan's attack seriously, but he received a valuable lesson.

Neither the Reincarnator nor the Transmigrator could be underestimated, especially once they reached the top.

The Transmigrator named Lin Fan in the [High School of the Dead] world was still in its infancy, so Ars could beat him easily. But Yamanaka Lin Fan was a Reincarnator in his prime!

As a result, for the first time, [Mugen (Infinity)] was destroyed, and Ars felt a terrifying soul force invade his body.

The Inner Physique on his chest emitted a pure light that negated that soul force.

"What! No way, I... Failed?"

Lin Fan was dumbfounded, this was the first time his Jutsu had been ineffective.

(That was close… If it wasn't for the Void Imperfection Physique, my body would have been taken over by him.)

The Void Imperfection Physique is one of the 12 Immortal Physiques and comes from the word 'Pure'. Ars had cultivated it to reach the Grand Completion Realm, so almost any technique would be ineffective against him. In addition, he is immune to ailments such as poisoning, bewitching, mesmerization, petrification, and other negative effects.

Simply put, Ars can only be fought with physical attacks.

"I can't believe you're invincible."

After regaining his composure, Lin Fan made a handprint and prepared to use another Jutsu.

*Whoosh*

Relying on Mach 100 speed, Ars appeared in front of Lin Fan and strangled him.

"Ugh!!!"

Lin Fan's eyes opened wide, he couldn't believe he would be killed so easily.

"The difference in our strength is too great. In the next life, be a good person."

*Crack*

After saying that, Ars snapped Lin Fan's neck.

The light in Lin Fan's eyes faded, and his vitality quickly dissipated.

Konoha's hero in the First Shinobi World War, 'Specter Spirit' dies

!

The fight lasts less than 30 seconds. Even though Lin Fan could be considered one of the strongest entities in this world, he was still no match for Ars who was on par with a Class Three Immortal Emperor, thanks to cultivating the Void Imperfection Physique all the way to the Grand Completion Realm.

*BAM*

Then Ars threw Lin Fan's corpse onto the floor. Moments later, a treasure chest appeared above the corpse.

"Oh, I almost forgot about my cheat device. Let's see what I've got this time."

It had been too long since he had activated his cheat device, Ars had forgotten he even had it.

Crouching in front of the corpse, he stretched out his hand to open the treasure chest but suddenly stopped what he was doing.

"There's no need to rush, considering how bad my luck is, I'm most likely hated by the Goddess of Fortune. Let's make preparations first before opening the treasure chest."

Picking up a large bucket in [Storage Magic], he then used basic magic

.

"[Water Balls]."

Collections of water droplets in the air collect to form a volleyball-sized mass of water, which enters the bucket.

Ars' figure disappeared from the hidden room, and when he returned there, in his right hand he was carrying a plastic bag containing seven types of flowers.

Then he sprinkled seven kinds of flowers into the bucket.

"Preparations are complete, hopefully this can wash away my bad luck."

Ars rolled up his sleeves and started washing his hands with water.

This is an ancient tradition that is said to dispel bad luck and bring good luck. Ars found out this ritual was performed by a certain clan in the past.

He was skeptical at first. After all, he was a 21st century youth before being reincarnated and did not believe in the occult as such. However, to his surprise, the people performing the ritual actually had good fortune.

At least, among the 10 people who perform this heretical ritual, 8 people will get lucky. That means there is an 80% chance of success.

Ars even specifically investigated the origin of the ritual but couldn't find the source.

According to speculation, this ritual may be related to gods in other dimensions. After all, there are some examples, such as Shinigumai and King of Hell.

"Everything is according to procedure, I shouldn't be too unlucky, right?" Ars still hesitated but still approached the treasure chest.

Taking a deep breath, he opened the treasure chest in front of him.

When the treasure chest opened, a lotus with rainbow colors floated in the air.

"Could this be the Soul Warming Lotus that Lin Fan calls? If that's true, this ritual is real! Next time, when doing something that involves luck, I should perform a ritual."

For the first time, Ars got another protagonist cheat set.

Void Imperfection Physique and [Cryptic Space] could not be considered Lin Fan's (Hisashi Igou) cheating devices, both items were gifts from the Beginner's Pack. The true cheating device was the Invincible Martial System.

"It seems that the Soul Warming Lotus benefits the soul. Well, from the name, it's natural."

As soon as Ars touched the Soul Warming Lotus, a warm current flowed through his body all the way to his soul. With just one touch, it strengthened his soul a bit.

"[Appraisals]." Ars said.

...

[Soul Warming Lotus]

[Description: A one-of-a kind Heavenly Treasure that exists as one of the Two Supreme Lotuses. The user's soul will be constantly guarded and strengthened]

[Note: Martial Peak Supreme Treasure]

...

"Another cultivation world treasure! This Reincarnator was truly unlucky to be born in the [Naruto] world. No wonder he is obsessed with Eternal Life, he has heaven-defying treasures but can't bring out its full potential."

"If he was reincarnated into a cultivation-type world, he would become a very powerful person. Phew, it turns out there are people who are more unlucky than me."

Ars felt happy to see Lin Fan's misfortune. He always thought he was the unluckiest Traverser (Reincarnator, Transmigrator, Regressor, Returnees) in the universe.

Now that he met people who were even more unlucky than himself, his mood became even better.

"What a coincidence! My cultivation is stuck and unable to make any progress. Perhaps with the Soul Warming Lotus, the Void Imperfection Physique could break through to the Empyrean Realm…"

"Looks like I need to enter seclusion, but I can't shirk my duties as a Guardian…."

"[Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique)]."

*Poof*

Ars created a clone to replace him in guarding Konoha during his exile.

"Go, I'll take care of the remaining matters." Said Clone.

"Okay."

Saving the Soul Warming Lotus into [Storage Magic], he left the Land of Fire and headed for the Land of Wind.

The goal is the Roran Kingdom!

As well as using Idaten's inherent boundless energy, Ars plans to use the Ryūmyaku (Dragon's Vein) to shorten his cultivation time. With the help of the Ryūmyaku, he can cultivate twice as fast as normal.

Arriving in the Roran Kingdom, he infiltrates the Ryūmyaku Gardens. Ars found a mother and daughter talking on a park bench.

The two women were oblivious to Ars's presence and continued to enjoy the beautiful atmosphere of the garden.

Ars entered the Ryūmyaku core and summoned the Soul Warming Lotus. Then the Inner Physique in his chest began to integrate that Heavenly Treasure.

(I don't know how long the exile will take this time. I hope it won't be thousands of years.).

A strong cultivator's closed seclusion session usually lasted anywhere from tens of years to thousands of years. Ars himself had cultivated for 800 years, but his consciousness didn't reside in the main body but in a clone.

This time he didn't do that, for fear of making a mistake when integrating the Soul Warming Lotus.
