Chapter 148 : Yasao's Breakthrough!!
Soon, the new rankings will be revealed.
A new list has emerged above the Gold List.
The forthcoming ranking will be the Immortal Dao List.
The three characters of Immortal Dao List appeared on the Golden List.
[Tsunade: The Path of Immortality, reaching above the level of the Six Paths is the level of Immortality!]
[Great Toad Sage: Immortal Dao level, linked to immortals. It appears that the path of immortality is truly formidable!]
[Uchiha Madara: Immortal Dao Level. I, too, can aspire to attain the Immortal Dao Level in the future!]
[Senju Hashirama: I am determined to ascend to the Immortal Dao Level first!]
[Garaga: A group of people who don't even understand what the Immortal Dao level represents, yet they aspire to attain it just because they want to? Do you think of yourselves as master Yasao?]
[Fourth Raikage: With the Gold List, anything is achievable!]
[Kakashi: Indeed, the rewards from the Gold List are exceptional. With repeated achievements, becoming an Immortal Dao Level in the future is only natural!]
Soon after.
The Immortal Dao List begins its announcement.
A figure appeared on the screen – it was Yasao.
[No. 1 on the Immortal Dao List: Yasao]
[Kakashi: As expected, Yasao stands alone on the Immortal Dao List!]
[Fourth Raikage: A solo listing – Yasao's influence is truly substantial!]
[Senju Hashirama: After all, Yasao transcended the Six Paths level. It wouldn't be fitting to include him in the Six Paths list anymore, so let's establish a separate list. However, if someone else surpasses the Six Paths level in the future and attains the Immortal Dao level, they will also be included on this list!]
[Tsunade: I predict that the next update of the Immortal Dao list will see new entrants. After all, the top powerhouses on the Six Paths list have acquired formidable treasures. Perhaps they can shatter their constraints and ascend to the Immortal Dao level!]
[Might Guy: It matters little to us anyway!]
Before long, the rewards for the Immortal Dao List will be announced.
"Master, undoubtedly, you will acquire an extraordinary treasure this time!"
Kumoko, having just emerged from seclusion, declared.
At this juncture, Kumoko had completed her transformation, inheriting the bloodline of the Void Demon Spider, and her strength had undergone a profound transformation, stepping into the realm of Immortal Dao, albeit at its lowest tier.
Yet, even at this level, Kumoko's current might utterly dwarfed those of the highest Six Paths grades.
Kumoko is now capable of swiftly dispatching Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
However, Kumoko still found herself ineligible for entry into the Immortal Dao Ranking, having to await the next refresh before she could earn a place.
"I too yearn for incredibly wondrous treasures, ones that could shatter the current barriers," Yasao remarked casually.
At this moment, two rewards materialized during the live broadcast.
The first reward was a Golden Pill.
[Rank Six Golden Pill: This elixir significantly enhances Senjutsu chakra, refines the Sage body, and extends lifespan by three thousand years.]
The second reward item was a drop of blood.
[A trace of blood essence from Ancestral Witch Emperor Jiang: After refinement, it greatly enhances physical prowess, improves spatial control, and imbues the Ancestral Witch physique to a certain degree.]
Upon seeing these two rewards, Yasao was filled with excitement.
Whether it was the Rank Six Golden Pill or the trace of blood essence from Emperor Jiang, both held immeasurable value!
Compared to the Rank 6 Golden Core, Yasao favored the trace of blood essence from Emperor Jiang Zuwu.
Previously, he had acquired the blood of the great witch, experiencing a significant boost in strength. Now, with the prospect of obtaining Emperor Jiang Zuwu's blood, he envisioned his Pangu body and Golden Vajra Body soaring to new heights.
Furthermore, he surmised that with Emperor Jiangzu's blood, he might break through existing limitations and ascend to another level.
"Emperor Jiang Zuwu's blood is the one," Yasao resolved.
Without hesitation, he retrieved Emperor Jiang Zuwu's blood from the live broadcast room.
[Tsunade: The rewards at the Immortal Dao level are quite enticing. Although the worth of Emperor Jiang Zuwu's blood eludes me, a Rank 6 Golden Pill holds far greater value than a Rank 5 one. A Rank 6 Golden Pill has never surfaced before!]
[Senju Hashirama: It's the Immortal Dao Ranking, naturally, the rewards must be commensurate with its prestige. They can't possibly match those of the Six Paths Ranking.]
[Fourth Raikage: I'm envious of such rewards!]
(Third Tsuchikage: Who wouldn't be envious? If I had such rewards, imagine the boost in my strength!)
[Gaara: Without adequate strength, such rewards might elude you. You might often squander them!]
[Terumi Mei: Indeed, no matter how splendid the reward, its suitability matters. Forcibly refining it when it doesn't suit you is simply inviting disaster!]
After acquiring Emperor Jiang's blood essence, Yasao retreated to his training chamber.
His aim? To refine this essence and break through to the next level.
Inside the training room...
Yasao consumed Emperor Jiang's blood in one gulp, initiating the secret technique of Pangu's body, vigorously refining the potent essence within.
Boom!
A tremendous force surged forth, yet Yasao adeptly contained it within Pangu's body.
"Such immense power! Even a mere trace of Emperor Jiang's blood, or the processed essence listed in the Golden List, holds such potency. Just how formidable is the true Emperor Jiang Zuwu! This minute amount lacks the strength of the Immortal Dao; attempting to forcibly refine it would surely lead to a fatal explosion," Yasao murmured.
Amidst his continuous refinement, Yasao gradually absorbed the energy from the blood of Emperor Jiang. Part of it was transmuted into Senjutsu chakra, while the remainder fortified his body, strengthening both the Golden Vajra Body and the body of Pangu.
Over time, the bottleneck in Yasao's cultivation began to loosen.
Then, with a sudden jolt, the bottleneck shattered.
*Boom!*
Yasao's physique underwent a profound transformation, as did the Senjutsu Chakra within him, propelling him into a higher realm.
Outside, he drew in boundless energy, even siphoning from the void to fuel his metamorphosis.
After an extended period, Yasao's cultivation level finally saw a formal breakthrough.
Yet, despite this advance, he remained within the bounds of the Immortal Dao level.
Yasao was uncertain about the extent of the realms within the Immortal Dao level. In truth, this wasn't his first time breaking free from constraints. Judging by his estimation, his current prowess might rival that of a Golden Immortal within the Immortal Dao level.
If one were to categorize the Immortal Dao level into Heaven Immortal, True Immortal, Golden Immortal, and Taiyi Golden Immortal, then Yasao now resided in the Golden Immortal realm.
He sensed the formidable strength coursing through him, capable of effortlessly subjugating the ninja world with a mere gesture.
Nevertheless, he gazed at the Golden List, unable to decipher its mysteries.
Yet, he harbored a hunch that its time in the ninja world was limited.
After all, such a list couldn't linger in the shadows indefinitely.
Many ninjas yearned for the Golden List to exist eternally, a wish that couldn't be granted.
After a few more days in seclusion, Yasao emerged.
"Master, have you broken through?" Kumoko inquired eagerly.
"Yes, I have," Yasao replied casually.
Kumoko, Yaya, and the others erupted in excitement upon hearing their master's achievement.
