61 Shikigami of the Ryu Clan

As Kibo walked on he looked back at the statue and asked "So what are you? A golem? Maybe you're some kind of automaton?" The statue looked at him and laughed "Hardly; I am the founders protective Shikigami! I was personally made by the first Patriarch of the Ryu Clan; Kuroyuki" The Shikigami crossed its arms and nodded its head proudly.

"Okay then I will call you Ichigami." The statue looked at him and sighed before saying "Oh well better than golem."

Kibo entered the 7th floor to see super large Natural Energy Stones of all 12 elements and Chakra stones from several high ranking creatures; Kibo drooled as he touched an Earth Natural Energy; as he did all of the 10 foot crystal was pulled into his body and his earth seed grew 1 inch in size. Kibo was shocked as he laughed while taking in the rest of the materials, "How did you absorb that so quickly?" Ichigami asked.

Kibo's Magatama were rotating in circles, as the energy was routed to its destination it took the exact amount of Chakra needed from his body and molded into Earth Based Immortal Energy; Kibo was beginning to see how useful his new eyes were.

Kibo smiled and said nothing making Ichigami grunt at him; after clearing out the room he headed to the 8th floor he discovered that an Azure shaped scale the size of a small building. Kibo felt the connection between him and the scale grow stronger as he approached.

"My reverse scale!" Seiryu cried when Ichigami spoke "This was given to Kuroyuki by his master countless years ago."

Kibo touched the scale as he said "Now it returns to its rightful owner." When the scale disappeared Kibo watched as Seiryu flew around it and roared in bliss "Sister! I need your assistance!" Suzaku appeared and smiled as she began merging her seven flames into one, a sparkling prismatic color that contained all the colors. She looked to Kibo and chirped before saying "If you master all the fires and successfully fuse them you can use my flames of reincarnation, and even perform my Phoenix Technique; Hot Bath Rebirth." Kibo smiled and asked "Won't he become an infant again?"

Suzaku laughed as she said "Normally yes, but brother is an exception. He can stimulate his life energy to reach peak age in no time." Suzaku threw her flame onto Seiryu who had swallowed his reverse scale. A bright light flashed as Seiryu's body began to compact into an egg, the flames nurtured his body as the shell began to crack, a mighty roar echoed through the Star Chamber as a very small dragon shot out of the egg that quickly began growing until it reached its original size.

It didn't stop however, Seiryu's massive body began to compress in on itself until it took the shape of a young man in his late twenties; he had long azure hair and eyes with slitted pupils, and a long mustache that hung down to his neck. Two nine branched horns sprouted from the top of his forehead and stretched back around his head. He had a stern body, and was at least 8 feet tall, his muscles rippled over his bronze tinted skin; as he waved his hand a nearby tree turned into an azure robe that fitted over his body.

He looked at Kibo's shocked expression and laughed, "Why the expression young Kibo?"

"You! What? How?" Kibo couldn't understand why this was happening.

"Hahahah!" Seiryu laughed when Suzaku said "Okay that's enough teasing him."

"Sorry Kibo, I couldn't help it. Technically there are three stages after the Ninth Transformation; we call it the Demi-God Stage. First we shrink down our bodies to the size of normal sized creatures by compressing the energy in our bodies, and then we gain a human form and can control our energy more efficiently. The last step is reaching God Hood."

Kibo smiled and said "So does this mean you're stronger than Kurama!"

"Before as a Chakra soul mass I would say we were equal, but now I can triumphantly say that I am indeed quite a few times stronger than the Kyuubi. 44 and a half times stronger to be exact.

Kibo laughed and turned to Suzaku and asked "Is there a way to revive your body Suzaku?" The Phoenix looked to him with appreciation in her eyes. "I will eventually gather enough energy to perform a Hot Bath Rebirthing, in fact if you could find an active volcano that would help."

Kibo scratched his head and was about to ask, "Why can't you use the Volcano's in your realm?" when Seiryu's realm began to shift, Kibo couldn't put his finger on it, but what happened next made Kibo's eyes turn wide. Trees began shifting into flesh and blood Animals and the pounds were full of fish. A rich scent of life wafted in the air that wasn't present before. "Seiryu your Star Chamber!" Suzaku said in surprise as Seiryu was shocked as well while the wild life became more diverse.

"This must be a result of you gaining back your body; the realm has also become physical." Kibo now understood why Suzaku asked for a Volcano, the one in her realm was in spirit form only. Kibo thought hard he couldn't use the one on the recently renamed Mount. Rokuyōso (Six Elements Mountain.) as it was extinct; the only reason they had Magma was because of the Genryu inhabiting it. He but he could follow down the tunnels to find the magma chambers.

Suzaku advised against it, she said that the Hot Bath would make a new volcano erupt. "There's only one place I know of that has an Active Volcano on it; Summoning Island."

[Help Suzaku recover her physical form. Reward: 100,000 System Points; and 3 Star Chamber Relics.]

Kibo whistled and he agreed to help Suzaku recover her body, when Kibo returned to his reality he discovered Ichigami staring at him with its jaw dropped. "Where did you go, it was like your entire body was pulled in through your eyes." Kibo was shocked that his physical body traveled to Seiryu's plane; Kibo thought "This can be used in a fight, and to run away." He then laughed before he said "It's just a Space-Time Jutsu."

Ichigami stuck his tongue out at him and grimaced making Kibo laugh louder; as he headed up to the final floor he was drenched in Immortal Energy, the room was completely saturated in it; Kibo sat down and began cultivating the energy, but he used his Tenteigan to break the energy into two before absorbing it into his lower Dantian and merging it with his own before reintroducing to his second Dantian as his own Immortal energy.

The seeds inside his Gold Dantian started to shake as they greedily absorbed it. As this happened Kibo could feel his mind wondering as his comprehension towards the elements grew, he began to understand more about the laws pertaining to the Earthly elements he noticed that he could use fused elements for less Chakra now. When he opened his eyes he felt refreshed and each of his seeds grew slightly making him smile, as he stood up he noticed soreness in his legs. "How long have I been cultivating?" Kibo asked, "Three weeks." Ichigami replied looking at Kibo like a monster.

"That long?!" Kibo was shocked he didn't feel like it was that long as he said "This must be why so Immortals never get to the god level. I honestly thought it had only been a few hours since I began." He stood up and headed back outside while taking the egg with him. Noticing the same golden plate that was in the central chamber he stood on it and looked over the dragon eggs.

Testing something out; he tried pulling them into Seiryu's world, and unlike before when he tried to put the sealed S ranked Chakra beast it didn't work, but now that Seiryu's plane has a physical aspect; all the eggs were pulled inside. Seiryu of course was delighted to watch over them as they shared the same blood; he would consider nurturing them with his energy.

Kibo made a scroll and handed it to Seiryu "This is a summoning Scroll; I want to see if it's possible to summon you and the other Genryu from here. If so I think I just found my own personal summons."

Kibo laughed as he placed all six elements into the gold array and teleported back to the main temple. As he was met with the remaining Genryu he headed out side and sent out a few thousand eggs to be nurtured by their respective elements. Kibo was surprised to find his clones had completed their work; the 6 mountains were placed in a large flat ring that had a river running through and large crevasses that formed into a large defensive array.

Kibo smiled as he saw small shanty huts surrounding the rivers as Kibo flew over to the Ryu Clan he dispersed all his clones. Kibo than told everyone to gather their valuables, and created a viewing platform several hundred feet up in the air for them to watch what he did next.

"Gonna be stealing one from you Hashirama." Kibo placed his hands together and began using his Wood Release Secret Technique; Nativity of a World of Trees. Hundreds of housing made from stone and wood began rising from the ground and forming in a very large village, several fully grown trees appeared alongside parks and other housing areas, he also built several farmlands and public building that could become shops or schools. The architecture looked like a feudal age Japan's capital Kyoto, and even had similar plants as he made sure to make a few cherry blossoms.

Kibo nodded his head approving of how huge the village he built was.Even though there were only a few hundred Ryu clan members Kibo had built enough for a few million to live in. As he came down to the rest of the crowd they began bowing at Kibo as if he were a god. Kibo raised his hands and said "Please stop, from now on this is the first Immortal Village since the olden ages, so you all will be needing Cultivation Manuals." Kibo then threw out some copies of the Ryu Clans Cultivation Techniques.

"These once belonged to your ancestors, they fought to protect this world from invading forces and although they lost in the end, they managed to save the rest of clansmen. You ancestors were honorable men who gave their lives in order to allow your survival." Kibo then explained to the people about the foreign gods known as the Ōtsutsuki and what they do all across several universes and realities.

The Ryu Clan was shocked at the story, when Kibo said "All though through some incident they have left this planet for the time being, and this has given us a chance to once again attempt to save our world from their grasp. I don't know when they will return; but when they do, I expect them to be quite surprised to see an army of Immortals chase them away once again."

The crowd cheered as Kibo explained how to cultivate like an Immortal, and the Ryu clan discovered how easy it was for them to do so. They could breathe in Chakra and Natural energy like it was air, and because of their unique Physique mutation they all could use the three legendary Cultivation techniques of their clan far more proficiently than anyone else. Kibo turned to Seitei and handed over copies of the rest of the Ryu Clans techniques and turned to Akari and asked. "So Akari, how about you fuse with your clan's legacy Beast." Kibo pulled out the Creation Dragon Egg from Seiryu space and handed her it along with his last Star Chamber Relic.

She looked to Kibo and asked "Why me?"
