As time flowed on, Beerus and his companions also arrived at the Golden Road. However, they found themselves unable to penetrate the golden shimmer of the Golden Road and had to settle for training within the purple expanse.
Meanwhile, ninjas from various factions toiled diligently on their cultivation endeavors. The recent bountiful rewards had spurred many to devote themselves wholeheartedly to training. With the decrease in ninja world tasks, even some Genins were entrusted with responsibilities.
Within the headquarters of the Akatsuki, members returned one after another, gathering to extract the magic spring.
"Let's begin!" Uchiha Obito announced.
"Alright," nodded Hoshigaki Kisame and the rest, as they collectively initiated the extraction process.
With a resounding boom, the immense magic spring was drawn forth, landing in a clearing within their base. Dark energies permeated the surroundings.
"The Magic Spring, extracted!" exclaimed Uchiha Obito, excitement evident in his voice.
He wasted no time and was the first to immerse himself in its rejuvenating waters. The natural energy surged into his being, enhancing his physical prowess.
Despite only possessing half of his original body, the benefits remained substantial. Hoshigaki Kisame and the others followed suit, experiencing the transformative effects of the magic spring on their bodies.
"What incredible effects!" Kisame exclaimed, his enthusiasm palpable.
Even Hidan, typically reliant on his curses and immortality for combat prowess, recognized the potential of continuous physical enhancement through the magic spring. With each improvement, his strength grew exponentially.
Akatsuki collectively dedicated themselves to utilizing the magic spring to bolster their abilities.
Even the non-human entities Black Zetsu and White Zetsu found means to harness its power for their advancement. Thus, they remained secluded, focusing solely on their training to bolster their strength.
Consequently, the ninja world experienced a period of relative tranquility.
Months passed, and half a year elapsed.
In the Golden Road, Yasao persisted in his cultivation. Under the relentless assault of the golden lightning, his Golden Vajra Body broke through once more, ascending to a higher plane.
With a thunderous boom, the overwhelming aura of his enhanced physique emanated outward, a testament to his progress.
"My strength has surged once more. Such modest improvement, yet the rewards are invaluable," muttered Yasao, his determination unwavering.
With renewed vigor, he pressed forward. While the golden thunder and lightning offered limited assistance, he knew that its refinement would yield substantial benefits in the long run.
Nonetheless, he continued his journey, traversing the Golden Road with unwavering resolve.
Yasao felt an immense weight pressing down on his soul, not on his physical form, but on the strength of his very essence.
"If your soul isn't at the level of immortality, you won't make it past this point," Yasao muttered to himself.
Yet, this suppression seemed more like a refining process.
Remaining here would gradually compress the strength of his soul.
Improving soul strength was notoriously difficult. Even with his knowledge of soul techniques, progress was slow, constrained by the strictures of the ninja world.
But here, on the path of the Golden Road, enhancing soul strength felt markedly easier.
"Press on!"
Yasao continued deeper into the Golden Road, feeling the soul's suppression intensify.
Soon, he began to hallucinate, a testament to the overwhelming pressure.
Persist!
Persist!
Persist!
Reciting the Supreme induction chapter silently, Yasao steadied his soul.
The Supreme Induction Chapter, a secret technique derived from his deductions, not only bolstered soul strength but also shielded against illusions, stabilizing his mind.
Time crept by, months slipping away as Yasao covered another kilometer.
Simultaneously, his soul's strength increased incrementally.
Each advancement felt akin to consuming soul-strengthening treasures.
Finally.
Yasao traversed the road, his soul no longer oppressed, arriving at the road's end.
Here, he beheld peculiar ripples imbued with an awe-inspiring power.
"The power of laws!"
Yasao exclaimed, recognizing the manifestation of Golden Road's laws hindering his progress.
Entering the domain of these laws, he felt their relentless force, threatening to crush him.
Yet, employing the Senjutsu Technique to fortify his body, Yasao calmly resisted the onslaught, lest he succumb.
"At the very least, those exceeding my current realm of immortality may hope to pass through here!"
Yasao muttered to himself, pondering over a notion that struck him: what if he could master these laws on his own and break through the constraints?
These laws stood before him, waiting to be understood step by step!
While it might seem nearly impossible for others to grasp these laws, taking years of study, Yasao possessed a deduction system. With it, he could analyze and understand these laws laid out in front of him.
"If I adhere to these laws diligently, I might have a chance to transcend the limitations of the Immortal Dao level and step into a higher realm," Yasao murmured.
However, such a feat lay far in the future. At present, mastering these laws merely provided him with the foundation to advance to the next level.
"Enlightenment!" Yasao exclaimed, delving into his studies with renewed focus.
With the aid of the deduction system, the once enigmatic laws began to unravel before him.
After several days of intense study, Yasao successfully grasped their essence.
With mastery over these laws, Yasao could now unleash his power tenfold effortlessly.
Although there was room for improvement, Yasao decided not to rush it. Instead, he pressed on, venturing into the domain of fire, swiftly mastering its laws in a matter of days.
Next, he turned his attention to the laws of wind, repeating the process with ease.
And so, Yasao continued his journey, comprehending various laws, each step propelling him further along the path of enlightenment.
Finally, as he approached the end of his quest, he encountered the realm of space laws.
After ten days of intense study, Yasao attained mastery over the intricacies of space.
Now, he could traverse through space effortlessly, teleporting to any corner of the Ninja world in an instant. With a mere thought, he could manipulate space itself, crushing his enemies or launching devastating attacks with the power of spatial manipulation.
Only one set of laws remained unexplored—the laws of time.
Stepping into the domain of time, Yasao embarked on his final challenge, spending thirteen days in deep contemplation before unraveling the mysteries of time.
At this juncture, Yasao found himself effortlessly manipulating time, even without relying on the Tears of Time and Space or any other time-manipulating techniques.
Having grasped the intricacies of time's laws, no domain could impede Yasao's progress.
With seamless ease, Yasao traversed through, arriving at the conclusion of his journey at the end of the Golden Road.
"Is there substantial gain awaiting here? I wonder what lies in store?" Yasao pondered with curiosity.
Hum!
A cascade of luminous rays inundated Yasao's form, and in an instant, myriad laws began materializing upon his being, converging under the influence of this radiant influx.
The amalgamation of these laws proved daunting, a feat beyond Yasao's current capabilities. Yet, in this moment, guided by the illuminating rays, the laws began harmonizing.
"The Aura of Chaos!" Yasao discerned its nature and utility.
The Chaos Aura could amalgamate with existing laws, birthing chaotic principles of immense value.
As time elapsed, the laws inscribed upon Yasao gradually melded into chaotic principles, etching lines of chaos across his form. The resplendent Golden Vajra Body of his body underwent a metamorphosis under the influence of these chaotic tenets.
After a protracted duration, the transformation of the Golden Vajra Body was complete.
Not only that, but the potency of defense within Yasao surged to unprecedented heights, while the resilience of his soul experienced an exponential ascent.
In this moment, Yasao underwent a profound metamorphosis, reaching the zenith of Immortal Dao.
"The pinnacle of Immortal Dao!" Yasao realized.
He had attained the pinnacle of his current state. As for the subsequent stage, its revelation remained elusive, although rapid advancement seemed improbable.
Indeed, this transformation marked an extraordinary leap in his capabilities.
Furthermore, with mastery over Law of Chaos, Yasao could effortlessly comprehend other laws in the future. Chaos principles served as a universal framework governing all other laws, catapulting Yasao's overall strength to unprecedented heights.
Henceforth, Golden Road held little significance for him. At best, it could aid in refining each law's realm, nothing more.
In the ensuing period, Yasao remained on the Golden Road, diligently cultivating and enhancing his grasp of the laws' power.
Unbeknownst to him, the time for the next ranking announcement swiftly approached.
