Practicing the Sage Mode

A strong physical figure, huge Chakra Volume, and tenacious spiritual will...

These were the three main points of cultivation mentioned in the cultivation notes in Shikkotsu Forest's Sage Mode.

These three prerequisites might be challenging to achieve for ordinary ninjas.

But for Roger, these three prerequisites were basically non-existent.

Sage Mode in between the pillars, Chakra Volume with one tail, and his tenacious will, Shikkotsu Forest's immortal mode seemed to be tailored for him.

Of course, this kind of thought could only be imagined in the sea of his mind.

After adjusting to the current best state, he sat cross-legged on the ground according to the cultivation requirements and then began emptying his brain.

Relax your mind, and let the chakra in your body flow naturally...

Feel the chakra within your body, sense the natural energy wandering between heaven and earth, sense the entire world...

Then, your hands began to form seals...

Roger's hand moved at a blinding speed forming all kinds of seals..

After continuously forming 256 seals, Roger finally felt the legendary natural energy.

Vast, pure, and filled the entire world as if everything was born from this.

Before he could even sigh with emotion, this energy forcefully poured into his body.

It swelled, tore, devoured, decomposed...

All sorts of heart-wrenching pain instantly enveloped his entire body.

At this moment, he finally understood why there was a note in the cultivation notes that stated that a cultivator needed a strong mental will.

Although he tried his best to keep himself awake, the pain strikes his body and mind was like the power of heaven and earth that could not be resisted.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Just as he thought his mind was about to collapse, his consciousness suddenly entered a white world.

There is no color, no matter, no energy...

Roger was like a fallen leaf falling into a river, drifting aimlessly in this world.

After floating aimlessly for an unknown period of time, a green planet made entirely of trees appeared in front of him.

When he saw this green planet, he suddenly remembered something.

Wasn't this planet he saw when he transplanted Sage Mode?

When this memory appeared in his mind, this pure white world suddenly disappeared.

What replaced it was a vast starry sky.

Before Roger could think about it, his whole body rushed towards the green planet like a meteor.

Just as he was about to crash into the green planet in an extremely tragic way, all the scenes in front of his eyes disappeared, and his consciousness returned to his body instantly.

As his consciousness returned, he felt a strong sense of hunger that he could not suppress.

Under the stimulation of hunger, the perception of his body began to return quickly. His vision, touch, smell, and hearing were instantly restored.

Only now did he have the time to look at his current situation.

His body was complete, his limbs were sound, and his IQ was still online.

Except for Chakra Volume, which was so low that it made one's hair stand on end, everything was fine.

After repeatedly confirming his physical condition a few times, he took out the psychic scroll and took out the food that had already been prepared.

After eating and drinking his fill, he casually lay on the ground and began to recall the inexplicable scene before.

According to the records, every cultivator would experience an inexplicable experience when they first sensed natural energy.

The duration of this experience was also different from the person.

Some people could return to normal in a few minutes, some could return to normal in a few hours, and some would never be able to return to normal.

As for what the length of time meant, there was still no accurate answer.

After all, there were not enough samples, and making practical conclusions were difficult.

However, as long as one could sense this incredible experience, it meant that the cultivator had already completed the first stage of the Sage mode - the cultivation of natural energy.

Perception of natural energy, extraction of Senjutsu Chakra, and enter the Immortal mode.

This was the first part of the three steps to the cultivation of Sage mode. It looked straightforward, but just the first stage of perception of natural energy could eliminate more than 90 percent of the cultivators.

And the second stage of refining Senjutsu Chakra was more difficult and dangerous than the first.

He could not sense the natural energy but could not use the sage mode.

But if there was any accident in refining Senjutsu Chakra, The grim reaper would be waving at you.

...

Time flew by. It had been half a year since Roger left Twilight City.

During this half a year, he had spent almost all of his energy cultivating Sage Mode.

For this reason, he had even specially referenced Naruto's accelerated cultivation buff.

It had to be said that Shadow Clone was a very useful Ninjutsu.

Especially when his experience and memories would return to his original body after he removed them, it was as if he had been made to cheat in his cultivation.

Because of Shadow Clone's selfless contribution, his cultivation in the Immortal mode progressed at incredible speed.

He clapped his hands, and an eye shadow appeared!

After spending half a year, he finally mastered this quick makeup technique and inherited this Immortal mode from Shikkotsu Forest.

Although this red eye shadow could only last for fifteen minutes, it was enough for the current him.

And just as he had guessed, there was indeed some unknown mysterious connection between Shikkotsu Forest's Sage mode, Sage Mode and Wood Release.

After mastering Shikkotsu Forest's sage mode, he could clearly feel the changes in his physique, and his physical strength and recovery ability had a qualitative change.

The most intuitive feeling was that even if he released Railgun Rasenshuriken three times in a row, his right arm would not have any problems.

Sage Mode's further improvement also allowed his Chakra Volume to grow further.

The era of one tail is over; now is the era of two tails.

Wood Release's changes were much more noticeable than Chakra Volume's growth.

It was nothing more than that the Wood Man and Wooden Dragon had grown a little stronger and added a few Wood Release and Ninjutsu.

"It's time to go back!"

After dispelling Intrinsic Barrier - Shikkotsu Forest, Roger began to sense Flying Thunder God's Formula on Flying Thunder God Kunai.

Before leaving Twilight City, he had especially left a handful of Flying Thunder God Kunai for Thor just for this moment.

"Found you!"

After sensing Flying Thunder God's Formula, his figure instantly disappeared into the forest.

When his figure appeared again, the first thing he saw was Thor, who was in a mess of clothes and gasping for breath.

Did I come back at the wrong time?
