Chapter 546 Aburame Shisei Emerges from Seclusion

Four years into the Zerg Empire, in the cultivation chamber of the Ice and Fire Immortal Palace, cold air and heat waves surged alternately.

You Nu Zhicheng sat cross-legged, with two huge cocoons floating in front of him, one ice-blue and translucent, the other crimson like flames.

Big White and Little White stood on the left and right, their huge moth wings gently flapping, organizing the chakra fluctuations in the air into a neat and orderly manner.

"It's starting." Shisei Aburame took a deep breath.

The cultivation of Ice Immortal Technique actually lies in the initial fusion, because he already has the immortal energy of both wind and water elements in his body. Under the balance of earth, the two energies eventually slowly merge and gradually become ice.

At the same time, the Ice Fairy Worm's icy blue energy entered his body, and the temperature in the air suddenly dropped.

Aburame Shisei's body also felt cold because the energy of the Ice Fairy Worm was too pure. If it were directly absorbed into the body, it would directly slow down the body's energy operation, cell changes, and even the soul's acceptance of external information.

At this point, Big White needs to act as the energy pillar, while Little White acts as the energy buffer, using its own gentlest and most attribute-neutral energy to harmonize the power of the Ice Fairy Insect layer by layer, and then gradually transmit it in.

Four or five years passed in the blink of an eye. This was also the key for Aburame Shisei to enter the second stage. Ice was never a necessary element in the Five Elements, but it was indispensable in order to successfully integrate the violent thunder and fire elements.

On the last day of the fourth year of the Zerg Empire, Aburame Zhicheng's hair turned frost-white inch by inch from the roots, and then shone with an icy blue luster.

His pupils also lost their inky blackness, transforming into two pools of icy cold. The energy of the Ice Immortal Worm within his body completely settled and fused into an invisible ice core.

The Ice Fairy Technique has finally been perfected.

But now is not the time to be happy, because he must melt the ice inside his body.

Otherwise, the extremely low temperature, although it would extend to endless years, would gradually slow down its movements. This is a physical limit that this world cannot reach, and even the gods of this world have not broken it. Even the Otsutsuki clan must abide by it when traveling through interstellar space.

So he didn't stop; what followed was using ice to contain fire.

The ice core is complete; the next step is the Fire Immortal Technique.

Then, energy was transmitted from another giant cocoon, inside which was a small red flame moth. Its body was surrounded by visible high temperatures, but it was not trying to fight against the ice. On the contrary, it used the ice core as a furnace to compress its own flame energy layer by layer into the center of the ice core.

Ice encloses fire, and fire burns within the ice.

White once again played a mediating role, ensuring that the boundary between ice and fire did not collapse.

Seven more days passed, and Zhicheng's hair color changed from ice blue to bright red, like a burning flame. Ice and fire coexisted within him, neither invading the other, yet each forming the foundation of the other.

"Indeed, ice and fire are two sides of the same coin. Once the Ice Immortal Technique is mastered, the speed at which the Fire Immortal Technique is cultivated will increase to an unimaginable speed. Seven days is much shorter than the cultivation speed of any other immortal technique."

Aburame Zhicheng opened his eyes, his gaze shifting between coldness and heat before returning to normal.

He stood up and pushed open the door to the training room.

His bright red hair, after constant adjustments and transformations, eventually turned black, and now he finally has the ability to retain the color of his hair on his own.

Moreover, these five immortal techniques within the body can be used freely. Next, all that is needed is to cultivate the Thunder Immortal Insect's insect-based skills and master the Thunder Immortal Technique.

He could then achieve true unity of the five elements, and thus successfully cultivate the second stage of the immortal technique.

"Perhaps my body will undergo a transformation at that time."

Aburame Shisei doesn't know what he will become, but he will probably completely shed his mortal form, and then he may no longer be human.

To be precise, he is no longer a true human being. His body still retains most of the genes and characteristics of humans, but in essence, he is no longer the same kind of creature as humans.

Of course, most people in the ninja world are actually in a vegetative state; they are fundamentally different from real humans.

At best, he only becomes a subspecies!

As for how to define human beings, that's a question worth considering.

However, for Shisei Aburame, they must have the same appearance as humans, possess the mindset of identifying as human, and have a general set of values ​​that align with human thinking.

So in their past lives, some people may look like humans, but they are not actually human because their values ​​are generally bizarre, or even somewhat anti-human!

Of course, he didn't think he was right either. After all, these were just personal opinions. Someone who had transmigrated to a world full of people in vegetative states had no right to care whether the people in the real human world were real people or not.

Aburame Shicheng stepped up and flew into the sky, but as soon as he arrived at the Ice and Snow Palace, he found that there were not many people left.

He flew around and only found Nozawa, one of the three fools. At that moment, Nozawa was sitting in the palace, dozing off. As soon as he saw Aburame Shisei coming over, he immediately got up and knelt down on one knee.

"My lord, you've finally emerged from seclusion!"

Aburame Shiki looked around and asked, "How much time has passed? And where have all the people here gone?"

Nozawa scratched his head and said to him, "Isn't the whole world unified now? The people living in the Ice Palace wanted to see what the outside world was like, so they took a bus to travel around the world and haven't come back yet."

Of course, they might not come back at all, since places with springtime and blooming flowers are always more attractive than these icy and snowy places.

The underfloor heating here, in particular, hasn't been running for a long time. It's not that it can't be run, but that it's no longer necessary.

As for the research base, it has long since been moved to a more suitable, isolated island.

"Then why are you still here?" Aburame Shiki couldn't help but ask, after all, Feng Hua Nu Tao, the lord of the Immortal Palace, was no longer there.

As for the trip coordinator, Feng Hua Zao Xue, she's probably off enjoying herself somewhere.

Of course, it wasn't until later that Zhicheng, the daughter's doting father, learned that he had abandoned scientific research and was using his vast fortune to pursue his daughter's dream of becoming a movie star.

"Me? Hehe!" Nozawa scratched his head and said with a smile, "Because I feel this place suits me very well. I've been to other places, but I only stayed for a day or two before I felt uncomfortable. Besides, my lord, you are still in seclusion, and someone will need to receive you when you come out."

"There are no more immortal insects in the Ice and Fire Immortal Palace. Are you still going to stay here?" Aburame Zhicheng nodded and then asked.

"They're already following the Lord? Congratulations to them."
