Chapter 370: Experimental Problems and Inner Demons

Orochimaru naturally understands what Naruki said, but he is a scientist who is more enthusiastic about research and experiments, and does not have the great beliefs or ambitions of a ruler like Naru, so he is more inclined to use power directly to achieve his goals.

Just like in the original book, in order to destroy Konoha, he even gave up the sound ninja village he built almost completely, but he never thought of seizing the power of Konoha.

It can be seen that his pursuit of personal strength far exceeds his ambition for power.

The rope tree, on the other hand, is influenced by the Wishing Power system, so he attaches more importance to the worldly that Orochimaru disdains, because only by improving his power position can he gain more Willpower and prestige, and then exchange for power. So for him, worldly power is also a kind of power.

It's a pity that Orochimaru doesn't know this, so he doesn't understand the idea of the rope tree very well. In his opinion, if the rope tree can shift his energy from mundane affairs to cultivation, then his pursuit of eternal truth will inevitably be faster, and when he reaches the eternal realm, everything in this world will not be decided by him in a word?

Seeing that Orochimaru looked disapprenant and wanted to persuade again, Rope Tree also knew that he couldn't convince the other party either, so he simply changed the topic: "By the way, you must have encountered some problem when you came here with me today, right?" Otherwise, with such a big breakthrough in your character, you will definitely immerse yourself in research experiments, and you don't have time to come to me. ”

The way Orochimaru and Rope Tree cooperate has always been like this, Orochimaru is responsible for daily research experiments, and Rope Tree is responsible for providing materials, equipment, secret techniques and other hardware, and when Orochimaru encounters some kind of problem, he will take the initiative to find Rope Tree to exchange research progress. At this time, the rope tree will collect the research results of Orochimaru, and at the same time, use the Wish Power system to analyze the method of solving the problem and point out the direction for Orochimaru. This is also the reason why Orochimaru has always believed that Rope Tree's talent in scientific research is not inferior to his own.

So now, based on his previous experience, Orochimaru must have encountered some problem again, and wanted to ask him for help before he hurriedly pulled him here, as for the previous technical exchange, it was just incidental.

"Hehehe......" Orochimaru laughed in a low and hoarse voice, "It seems that Rope Tree-kun also knows me very well.

After I came up with the idea of body modification, I tried to experiment with the white snake. Due to the previous transplantation technology of snake cells, I quickly successfully transplanted the zero-tailed chakra cells into the body of the white snake, but the results were not satisfactory. ”

Orochimaru took a tiny white snake from his cuff and handed it to the rope tree.

Rope Tree took the cold and soft little snake in his hand and looked carefully, and found that the white snake was motionless, as if it was dead, but the soft body and weak heartbeat proved that it was still alive.

"The body of this white snake has completely turned into a chakra state, and it seems that your vision is completely feasible. Congratulations, Orochimaru. Rope Tree retracted his spiritual perception and said hello to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru frowned and said, "Although the body did turn into a chakra form as I imagined, for some reason, the white snake fell into a deep sleep after the experiment was completed. At first, I thought it was just a special case, but after many experiments, I found that all white snakes lose consciousness, but I couldn't find a specific reason. I also ask Rope Shu-kun to solve my doubts. ”

Rope Tree shook the white snake in his hand and said, "The reason is very simple, the spirit of this white snake was polluted, or more precisely, it was devoured, so it lost consciousness. ”

"Spiritually devoured by pollution?" Orochimaru turned his head and glanced at Zero Tail beside him before frowning and asked, "What does Rope Shu-kun mean...... The white snake was polluted and devoured by the spiritual power in the Zero-tailed Chakra?"

"I guess that's it. The zero-tailed chakra is full of chaotic dark spiritual power, and these spiritual powers are full of devouring instincts, which are highly poisonous to the spirit of any living being. The white pit, which is already weak in spirit, is even more unbearable. Naruki confidently said his judgment.

"Is it because the spirit has been devoured? This is similar to the process of reincarnation of the corpse, so this white snake is occupied by Zero's tail?" Orochimaru asked with some curiosity.

"That's not true, because this white snake was just devoured by the spiritual power of Zerotail, and the seventh consciousness is still stuck in the body and entangled with the chaotic dark spiritual power." Rope shook his head and denied Orochimaru's speculation.

Orochimaru curiously looked at a large number of Zero-tailed embryos and asked, "According to you, Zero-tail's core should be at least the existence of the Yang God Realm, but why is his spirit so chaotic and has no consciousness all the time?" Isn't the Yang God supposed to be able to live forever?"

Rope Tree heard a series of questions about the Yang God from Orochimaru, and after thinking about it, he spoke: "Although the Yang God can live forever or even be immortal, it doesn't mean that he won't go crazy. Just like the zero tail in front of you, it is likely to be a fragment of the Yang God that has been polluted by negative emotions and caused the collapse of self-consciousness!

As for why the Yang God is polluted, it may be caused by the inner demons of the seventh consciousness, or it may be caused by external illusions or other spiritual attacks.

Therefore, even if the Yang God is achieved, it is not without weaknesses, in addition to sealing, mental attacks such as illusion can also cause the Yang God's self-consciousness to collapse or be damaged.

Just like the zero-tailed core in front of you, although the essence is still there, what is the difference between the destruction of self-consciousness and death?"

Orochimaru looked at the meaningful eyes of the rope tree and said thoughtfully, "It turns out that the greatest weakness of the Yang God is a spiritual attack such as illusion. That's exactly what I'm not good at. It seems that after the art of immortal reincarnation is completed, we must find a way to make up for this weakness.

What is the inner demon generated by the seventh consciousness that Rope Shu-kun said? And what exactly is the Yang God? Is it the spirit or the soul?"

Seeing that Orochimaru had finally realized his greatest weakness under his deliberate reminder, Rope continued to explain with a smile on his face, "To answer these questions, you must first know what the seventh consciousness is. At the end of the seventh consciousness, it is the consciousness of the self that is tainted by the eighth consciousness, which is essentially the product of the eighth consciousness, so it also has the property of immortality.

The so-called self is the aggregate of all the desires and emotions of living beings, joys, angers, sorrows, loves, hatreds, and hatreds all come from the seventh consciousness, and whether a person's character is noble or despicable, whether they are enthusiastic or cold is all determined by the self.

Of course, the ego is not immutable, the outer spiritual consciousness is the source of the ego's pollution, when the ego transmits information from the outside world to the seventh consciousness, the seventh consciousness will give birth to emotions that affect the self-consciousness, and at the same time, the ego itself will also subtly record changes in information.

Therefore, some people have a great change in personality after major accidents and mental stimulation.

Since the essence of the seventh consciousness is still the eighth consciousness, but it is polluted, and the seventh consciousness also has some incredible abilities, so when the ego bursts out with enough powerful and pure emotions, it affects the spirit and produces extraordinary power.

For example, faith and hatred, these two emotions can make the ninja's chakra skyrocket so that he can surpass himself and complete all kinds of miracles.

The inner demon is a kind of spiritual change because the negative emotions are too strong and exceed the ability of the spirit to bear, and then pollute or even destroy the self-consciousness. ”
