Chapter 241 Water of Life
After two days of trekking.
Orochimaru and Chiyo's clones finally arrived in the Land of Rivers.
They soon reunited with Ji Yan and the others.
Chiyo and Orochimaru arrived at the barrier at the bottom of the cliff.
Orochimaru also took a second look at the barrier: "Such an ancient barrier seal technique."
"It's actually maintained by natural energy."
Qianyao also stepped forward to take a look, and quickly analyzed the barrier.
"Let's take care of business first."
Qianyao said something, then led Orochimaru inside.
After passing through the barrier, looking down, the ancient ruins came into view.
The two arrived at the edge of the cliff, which was at least several hundred meters deep below.
"Let's go! Let's go straight down!"
Qianyao knew there was no danger in this ruin.
Orochimaru's strengths lie not only in his trust in Chiyo, but also in his exceptional skills and daring.
Both of them leaped down into the misty ruins.
Due to gravitational acceleration, the two approached the ground after more than ten seconds.
Orochimaru received several hand seals.
Wind Release: Wild Swirl!
He directly blew out a small tornado, and the huge gust of wind swept up Orochimaru's body.
Orochimaru traced an arc and landed gracefully on the ground.
Qianyao landed directly into the shadows on the ground, like a diver.
After he emerged from the shadows, he formed a hand seal.
Fire Release: Demon Lantern!
Fist-sized fireballs began to appear around Qianyao, illuminating the surrounding area.
Orochimaru surveyed the area below.
"This architectural style must be from a thousand years ago."
Qian Yao shrugged after hearing this: "I don't know exactly how many years, but it must have been a long time ago."
Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and sensed it:
"The air here is very dry, so there must be no living things here, otherwise it wouldn't be so well preserved."
"Where is this Grell ore you mentioned?"
Orochimaru merely sighed for a moment before getting down to business.
"Look for it. It looks like an altar, with three pillars joined together in the middle. You can get there from there."
Orochimaru nodded slightly, placed his hand to the side, and countless venomous snakes emerged from his sleeve.
Making a hissing sound, it surged into the darkness.
Now that they were already here, Chiyo wasn't in a hurry anymore and told Orochimaru to go find it.
"Your eye technique is quite remarkable," Orochimaru said meaningfully.
Qianyao previously said that he could foresee various future trends.
But as an Uchiha, it's one thing for him to be able to see what's happening in Konoha.
This is the land of rivers, this doesn't make any sense at all.
Qian Yao smiled and said, "I never said that. It's my own future direction."
"Oh?" Orochimaru looked curious.
Qian Yao stretched out his finger and drew a circle in the air: "In every world, there are always some particularly important people."
"These extraordinary people often lead the development of an era."
"That's how Madara and Hashirama were before."
"They have many nicknames such as 'Children of Destiny,' 'Children of Fate,' and 'Children of Prophecy.'"
"This place was found by one of the chosen ones a few years later through the descendants of the ruins."
Orochimaru's eyes held a thoughtful expression: "Is there really such a thing as a Child of Destiny?"
Qianyao shook his index finger from side to side: "It used to be there, but it's not anymore."
"If there is one, it can only be us."
Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and washed his face, clearly satisfied with Chiyo's answer.
"That's right, it can only be us."
By this time, some snakes had already swum back.
"Found it, let's go." Orochimaru called out, and he and Chiyo quickly headed deeper into the ruins.
Before long, they arrived at a deep pit at the bottom.
Judging from its layout, this place resembles an altar, but years of weathering have obscured its original appearance.
"Is this the place?" Orochimaru asked, looking at Chiyo.
Qian Yao thought for a moment. Although he didn't know what the mechanism was, he knew that the real Grell ore was down there.
"Come with me!"
Chiyo leaped into the air, and Susanoo appeared in mid-air.
A heavy punch slammed into the ground, instantly creating a large hole.
Without hesitation, Chiyo jumped down, and Orochimaru followed suit.
After falling for another ten seconds, Orochimaru used Wind Release again to neutralize the force of their fall, and the two landed safely on the ground.
The two went inside.
Below is a closed stone chamber. Qianyao looked around and saw that the walls were covered with various ancient murals.
Over time, the surface has become mottled and faded, and it probably depicts an ancient empire and the terrifying power of the Grell Stone.
Ultimately, the empire collapsed as a result.
That's the story, but neither Chiyo nor Orochimaru had any interest in it.
After Qianyao entered, he examined the array on the ground; this was the key to the mine.
If you act recklessly, it could easily lead to a spacetime explosion.
Orochimaru was also a master of formations:
"The Grell mine you mentioned is right above us, but the array here is barely holding up."
Qian Yao nodded slightly: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
"I will reset the sealing spell to disable the formation here."
“Let’s go get more Grell ore.”
Orochimaru became interested: "You've innovated on Kushina and Miroku's sealing techniques, haven't you?"
Qianyao simultaneously formed hand seals with both hands, overlapping them together, and a huge talisman flew into the air from his body.
The number of runes increased until they filled the entire space.
As Qianyao's hand seals changed, the talismans also changed accordingly.
"Orochimaru, break through the dome!" Qianyao shouted.
Orochimaru waved his hand, and countless wind blades flew out, cutting the dome into a grid pattern before it fell down.
Large amounts of water mist drifted down from the sky.
Reaching out to catch it, the mist turned into tiny streams of water, guided by the wind.
Orochimaru took it and licked it with the tip of his tongue.
I felt a surge of vital energy enter my body.
"This is the legendary water of life!"
Orochimaru's eyes shone brightly, and he was visibly excited.
The dome continued to crumble, revealing the massive Grell mine inside.
Grell vein is a type of ore that emits a shimmering glow.
The luminous liquid inside the ore is the life-giving water rich in energy.
But at the source of this vein, the water of life has accumulated into a pool that floats in the air.
Qianyao knew that this was all due to the formation here. Now the ground had begun to shake, and the formation was no longer stable.
He waved his hands, and the runes in the air suddenly expanded outwards.
Within the area where the seal spread, the water ripples and vibrations ceased.
Orochimaru's eyes revealed surprise: "This is a sealing technique you developed?"
Qian Yao remained calm: "It's just a small trick. I've stopped the seal from collapsing, but it can't last too long. Let's get to work."
Orochimaru responded, displaying astonishing control over his ninjutsu as he held up hand seals.
While both are Wind Release techniques, Danzo preferred to blow with his lips pursed.
Orochimaru simply blew a breath, and a gentle breeze formed a vortex, drawing the life-giving water down towards them.
He opened a storage scroll in his hand, on which was written a huge character for "water".
The life-giving water flowed continuously into the storage scroll.
One was full, so Orochimaru took out another one.
This process was repeated until eight scrolls were filled, at which point all the life-giving water floating in the sky was drained.
"Wait a moment."
Seeing that Chiyo wanted to break the seal, Orochimaru pointed to the ores and said:
"These minerals that once contained the water of life should not be overlooked either."
"Although we already have enough water of life, these minerals are very rare in the outside world."
Qian Yao chuckled, "Are you trying to dig three feet into the ground?"
Orochimaru said seriously, "If needed."
