Naruto: Cultivating to Immortality

Chapter 371 Forcing the World's Will

In this vast and boundless天地 (heaven and earth), Hyuga Kanan stood firm, like a steadfast mountain. He quietly closed his eyes, wholeheartedly sensing the natural energy surging in from all directions. As if summoned by some mysterious force, this energy converged upon him like a tide. It flowed and intertwined in the air, forming a huge and dense vortex of energy.

However, despite being surrounded by such immense natural energy, Hyuga Kanan remained completely at ease. On the contrary, his vigilance increased, like a sharp cheetah, constantly on high alert. He knew that behind this seemingly peaceful and serene facade lay endless danger and the unknown. And the world's will, which controlled everything, was like an unfathomable behemoth, its true intentions impossible to fathom.

Hyuga Kanan understood that he had to be extremely careful in dealing with the future. Any slight oversight could lead to disastrous consequences. Therefore, he focused intently on observing changes in his surroundings, not overlooking any subtle details. At the same time, he constantly adjusted his aura and mental state to ensure he could handle any unforeseen circumstances.

Hyuga Kanan felt an indescribable sense of relief upon arriving in this mysterious and wondrous world. It was as if the god of fate had favored him, leading him to this vast and boundless land, brimming with endless mysteries and boundless energy.

Here, every inch of air is filled with rich spiritual energy, and every breeze carries powerful fluctuations of energy. This omnipresent energy shines as brightly as the stars, giving Hyuga Kanan unprecedented hope and opportunities.

He may have once been an ordinary person, but now, standing in this magical world, he feels an unprecedented sense of mission. Because here lies infinite possibility, and as long as he diligently cultivates and continuously explores, he will surely have the opportunity to break through his limitations and achieve extraordinary feats.

Hyuga Kanan knew that this was not only a rare turning point in his life, but also a challenge to the limits of his own potential. However, he showed no fear in the face of unknown difficulties and obstacles. On the contrary, a burning fighting spirit ignited in his heart, and he was determined to make full use of the precious resources bestowed upon him by this world and embark on his own path of training.

Faced with the numerous threats that might be looming in the future, Hyuga Kanan felt a strong sense of unease and vigilance. However, although he knew that the road ahead was full of endless dangers and uncertainties, a glimmer of hope also ignited deep within him—because he understood that this meant he had an opportunity to continuously strive for progress and grow limitlessly.

Since ancient times, the path of cultivation has been a difficult journey that defies destiny and challenges conventions. For every cultivator aspiring to immortality and transcendence, they are destined to embark on this rugged path and confront countless hardships and obstacles. And in this long journey of cultivation, the most powerful and insurmountable obstacle is none other than the myriad obstructions of the mysterious and unpredictable will of the world.

The World Will is like an invisible giant hand, constantly controlling the fate of all things in the world. It operates in a way that is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, seemingly harboring deep hostility towards those cultivators who attempt to break free from the constraints of natural laws. Whenever cultivators make even the slightest progress and touch upon certain forbidden areas, the World Will will employ various means to suppress them: either by unleashing natural disasters or man-made calamities to subject them to suffering; or by inciting inner demons to drive them into desperate situations. In short, it will never easily let go of any existence that dares to disrupt the balance or transcend limits.

In this vast, boundless, and mysterious world, there exists an invisible yet powerful force—the will of the world. For Hyuga Kanan, this force was like a guiding light, illuminating his path on the long road of training and providing him with immeasurable assistance in his early years, enabling him to grow rapidly.

In Hyuga Kanan's eyes, this situation was already perfect. After all, everything in the world has its own laws and rules, and achieving extraordinary success is no easy feat. To be favored by the world's will is undoubtedly a great fortune. However, along with this blessing come many potential crises and challenges. These threats are like sharp thorns hidden in a thicket of brambles, and a slight misstep can lead to trouble. But for Hyuga Kanan, they are merely the trials that must be endured on the path of training.

As long as his unwavering belief in pursuing the Great Dao remains steadfast, no matter what hardships and obstacles lie ahead, he firmly believes he will eventually find a way to break through the shackles. Only with such unwavering determination can one rise again after countless falls and continue striving towards that distant yet alluring goal. Upon achieving success, he can break free from the constraints of the mortal world, ascend to immortality, and become a carefree and unfettered celestial being.

However, Hyuga Kanan dared not underestimate the potential threat posed by the existence of the Sage of Six Paths. After all, the ability to force the world's will to bring him into this world from the endless void already demonstrated the Sage of Six Paths' extraordinary and unparalleled nature. Such power was beyond the reach of ordinary people, and there must be unfathomable strength and mysterious methods hidden behind it.

It's important to understand that the World Will is a supreme being that transcends all things and controls the laws governing the entire world. It usually remains hidden behind the scenes, silently maintaining the balance and order of the world. But now, even such a powerful World Will has felt immense pressure from the Sage of Six Paths and has taken action to respond, demonstrating just how astonishing the Sage of Six Paths' influence is.

Hyuga Kanan knew that facing such an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, any carelessness could lead to disastrous consequences. Therefore, he had to be extremely vigilant and devote all his efforts to investigating the Sage of Six Paths' true strength and purpose. Only by fully understanding his opponent could he formulate effective strategic countermeasures and thus find a glimmer of hope in the impending storm.

Having gleaned a glimpse of the Sage of Six Paths' power from Nagato's eyes, Hyuga Kanan was overwhelmed with an unprecedented sense of shock. Even from merely experiencing a fraction of that power, he could clearly feel an irresistible pressure bearing down on him, as if the entire world trembled before it. What chilled him even more was the realization that what he had encountered was merely the tip of the iceberg of the Sage of Six Paths' immense strength!

Imagine the astonishing sight that would be if one could glimpse the full extent of its power! Perhaps even the heavens and earth would change color, and the sun, moon, and stars would pale in comparison! Thinking of this, Hyuga Kanan felt a chill run down his spine, and a fine layer of sweat beaded on his forehead. He began to realize that facing such a terrifying being, he had to be fully prepared. However, despite the fear in his heart, a fierce fighting spirit was also ignited within him. He secretly resolved that no matter how treacherous the road ahead, he would defeat his opponent and clear the obstacles on his path to cultivation.

At this moment, for Hyuga Kanan, the most urgent matter was to increase his strength at lightning speed! The will of this world seemed to have become his solid backing, providing him with maximum assistance and support without reservation. This powerful and mysterious force was like a beacon, illuminating his path; like a pair of strong hands, firmly supporting him and guiding him to pursue the terrifying power capable of rivaling the Sage of Six Paths!

In this vast and boundless world, full of unknowns and challenges, Hyuga Kanan knew that only by constantly pushing his own limits could he reach the summit and achieve an immortal legend. The favor of the world's will was like a timely rain, nourishing the seedlings of his yearning for growth. He understood that this was both a rare opportunity and a powerful impetus.

Hyuga Kanan keenly sensed the increasingly intense and urgent emotional fluctuations emanating from the world's will, and immediately realized that the time he could peacefully cultivate and steadily improve his strength was probably running out. However, the path of cultivation was by no means a matter of instant success; it required a long period of accumulation and tempering before one could make a breakthrough and achieve a leap in realm.

Even though the world's will has generously bestowed upon it the purest and most concentrated natural energy, fully propelling its own energy accumulation process, this is by no means a goal that can be achieved in the short term. It should be understood that the legendary Sage of Six Paths has accumulated energy for over a thousand years. To contend with him, even with the help of the world's will to accelerate energy gathering, it would be difficult to achieve one's goal in a short time.

Unless… the world's will makes an exception and allows his consciousness to enter the origin of this world, thus greatly accelerating his comprehension of the rules, only through profound and unfathomable understanding of the rules can he perhaps bridge the enormous energy gap between the two sides. Only then might he find a glimmer of hope in this breathtaking contest and create a miraculous victory. But will all this come to pass? How will the future unfold? All these unknowns are shrouded in mist, filling one with both trepidation and anticipation.

After conveying these thoughts to the World Will, Xiang Jianan waited silently. He was now forcing the World Will to make a choice: whether to help him accelerate his comprehension of the rules to the point where he could contend with the Sage of Six Paths, or to allow the Sage of Six Paths to successfully seize his body and completely devour his will.
