The whale’s great mouth did not have the foul smell Lu Lin expected; instead, there was only a slight fishy odor, though not very strong, which was acceptable.

Moreover, standing inside was very stable, with a slightly sticky feeling underfoot. Only the sound of flowing water could be heard, and there was no light whatsoever.

Having nothing to do for a while, Lu Lin began to sort out his gains from this trip.

According to Whale Elder, the planet of the ninja world possessed a slight consciousness of its own. However, this consciousness was likely generated to protect the planet itself and did not possess much emotion.

Lu Lin guessed that the planetary consciousness might have had contact with the Three Great Sage Regions on land in the past, intending for them to protect the natural energy on land from being plundered by the Ōtsutsuki clan.

Although the Ōtsutsuki ultimately planted the God Tree, they did not plunder all the natural energy on land. Furthermore, the toads and Kaguya’s son, the Six Paths Sage, had communicated, which also laid the foundation for sealing Kaguya later.

How should one describe these Three Great Sage Regions? They had some merit for this planet. After all, with their strength, trying to directly stop the Ōtsutsuki would only be sending themselves to their deaths.

But later, they also obtained some authority over the land’s natural energy, which was considered compensation for their contributions. After all, no toad, great snake, or slug could live for so long.

However, the planetary consciousness seemed to be still not very satisfied with the Three Great Sage Regions. Therefore, cultivating natural energy there would entail great danger, even leading to death.

The Giant Whale clan, on the other hand, perfectly preserved the natural energy in the ocean. This allowed their clan to naturally cultivate natural energy by simply swimming in that sea within a sea.

Suddenly, he remembered that he himself had absorbed a lot of natural energy, hadn’t he? Now he could try to see if the natural energy had brought any changes to his body.

His consciousness entered his body, and Lu Lin quickly discovered gurgling natural energy flowing within his blood vessels. As for changes, this natural energy made all his blood healthier, and there was also a lot of natural energy constantly nourishing his spirit.

As long as his spiritual power was continuously nourished by natural energy, his spiritual power would become increasingly powerful.

Moreover, the healthier his blood became, the more formidable Lu Lin’s physical body would become.

“As expected of this planet’s own power, even if it’s downgraded, it still formed powerful chakra.”

Lu Lin’s eyes almost glowed in the pitch-black darkness where he couldn’t see his hand. This natural energy could continuously strengthen a person from the inside out. Although it didn’t seem like a lot of strengthening, its strength lay in its persistence; his strengthening was ceaseless.

“Should I try to manipulate the natural energy again…”

After pondering for a while, stroking his chin, Lu Lin decided to give up for now. After all, he was currently inside the whale’s mouth. If something happened and harmed this big fish, it would be troublesome.

“Lord Lu Lin, we’re almost at the surface.”

A muffled voice echoed in the whale’s mouth, as if coming from all directions, instantly startling Lu Lin from his thoughts.

“We’re here?”

A beam of light shone in from outside the whale’s mouth. Feeling the sea breeze on his face, Lu Lin closed his eyes and adjusted for a long time before slowly opening them.

Lu Lin, seeing the light of day again, was a little excited. He wasn’t used to staying in the deep sea; that feeling was too oppressive.

Comfortably stretching, Lu Lin leaped out of the whale’s mouth and landed on its back. He looked up and quickly noticed a black circular platform directly above him.

Magnet Release was instantly activated, and the platform slowly descended.

“What’s going on? I can’t control it?!”

A voice came from the platform. Lu Lin immediately recognized it as Konan, who had been controlling the platform to prevent it from falling.

“It’s me.”

Lu Lin said.

“Big Brother Lu Lin came up?”

Several heads poked out from the platform, discovering a person standing on the giant whale’s back. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Lu Lin.

Konan also happily gave up control, allowing the platform to descend freely. It soon reached a suitable position, and Lu Lin lightly tapped his feet, arriving on the platform.

“Big Brother Lu Lin, are you hurt?”

This was Konan.

“Big Brother, how was it down there?”

Yahiko also asked impatiently. Nagato and Suikawa also looked at him with worry and curiosity.

“Good luck.”

Lu Lin nodded, and the others visibly became excited. Then, urged by them, Lu Lin recounted some of his experiences at the bottom of the sea.

Yahiko’s eyes widened, a little excited:

“Does that mean I can cultivate natural energy and achieve Sage Mode?”

“You’re so silly. Big Brother Lu Lin said it requires some trials. Only after passing them can you cultivate natural energy.”

Konan said playfully.

“Oh, oh, you’re right, haha.”

Yahiko scratched his head sheepishly.

“By the way, if you want to go down there, you have to rely on yourselves. After all, cultivating natural energy also requires a threshold. Only those who can withstand the pressure of the deep sea and reach the sea within a sea are qualified to cultivate it.”

If one’s own strength was insufficient, even if brought to the sea within a sea by a whale, they would not be recognized by the natural energy there. Whale Elder had already told him this before he came up.

This condition was quite strict, because even with Lu Lin’s strength, he could feel the pressure at the bottom of the sea, let alone others.

Lu Lin even suspected that only Kage-level powerhouses could reach the seabed, and elite jonin who wanted to go there would have to specialize in taijutsu and have robust bodies.

“It’s fine, Big Brother.”

Yahiko confidently patted his chest. Although he hadn’t been Kage-level for long, he had become much more familiar with controlling the energy within his body:

“Let me go down and see.”

“Wait a moment for now.”

Lu Lin stopped Yahiko, who was about to jump down, then pulled out ablue scroll:

“This is the Giant Whale clan’s summoning scroll. Drop your blood on it, and you can perform the summoning jutsu to summon a giant whale. Let’s return to the Land of Tea first, then you can summon the giant whale and have it take you directly here.”

Having been out for so long, if anything happened in the Land of Tea, it would be difficult for him to rush back quickly.

“Mm.”

Yahiko clicked his tongue regretfully, but he also knew what was important and naturally had no objections.

Then he pulled out a kunai, made a small cut on his finger, squeezed out a drop of fresh blood, and dropped it onto the summoning scroll.

The scroll flashed, then absorbed the drop of blood, which meant that the Giant Whale clan agreed to form a contract with Yahiko.
