Chapter 510: The Utilization of the Tailed Beasts
```
[Sealed Jar]: Contains a powerful abnormal energy. Please note, this energy is sentient; it can produce ten thousand Yuan Force every month; or it can absorb ten million Yuan Force at once; other uses can be explored on your own.
```
Holding the sealed object in front of him, which looked like a jar of pickles, Tao Yu also felt the judgment of the World Will.
He had thought that a sealed Tailed Beast would be in great chaos, after all Gaara couldn't sleep and was subject to mental pollution.
So it should be heavily polluted.
But unexpectedly, the pollution on this one-tailed sealed object was not high, and he could relatively easily read the information provided by the World Will.
"Goodness, a perpetual motion machine," Tao Yu thought as he looked at the information prompt, reminded of the other two Tailed Beasts' tails he had cut off.
After all, these were parts of a Tailed Beast, and the tails of Tailed Beasts could regenerate after being cut off.
In theory, if one could continuously capture a Tailed Beast and cut it up, it seemed indeed possible to provide an endless supply of Yuan Force.
Considering the Tailed Beasts as a type of Yuan Force plant seemed not entirely unreasonable.
The Yuan Force that each World Fragment could birth varied with the strength of the fragment, and ordinary Wish-Power Crops were like making use of these Yuan Forces from the World Fragments, completing their materialization, and then being absorbed and collected by Pioneers.
Tailed Beasts were split from the Ten-Tails, and it seemed to be the case indeed.
"It's just a pity that there are too few Tailed Beasts, if one could cultivate Tailed Beasts, wouldn't that be directly prosperous, ten thousand a month, none of the Wish-Power Crops could match this efficiency..."
Tao Yu was somewhat sentimental, but he was not planning to use this one-tail for absorbing Yuan Force.
Usually nurturing it and absorbing ten thousand a month was fine, but the ultimate goal was to see whether he could gather them all.
At least with his current strength, as long as he encountered the relevant fragments, it would not be difficult at all to obtain a part of all Tailed Beasts!
"Although Hidden Mist Village and the Village Hidden by Sand have fallen at intervals across several worlds, in terms of the scale of the Abyss, they're not really considered far apart. I just hope the other villages won't pull any stunts..."
Then Tao Yu looked at the jar for the One-Tail and pondered slightly.
With his current mastery of Sealing Skills, designing it properly to directly absorb it into his body as a temporary energy source was also a possibility worth exploring.
He and Chakra did indeed conflict, capacity-wise.
But with his 'Shepherd' job from the Mysterious World, combined with the assimilation of Black Mud, what couldn't he digest?
Well, there might be exceptions, but the Tailed Beasts surely wouldn't be one of them!
The enlightenment boost from the Innate Demonic Body generated many ingenious ideas as soon as Tao Yu thought of a plan.
Through skills like the Shepherd's Grazing or relying on the Innate Barrier's 'dissolution' and such.
He had many tools at his disposal.
"Previously, the portions of Six-Tails and Three-Tails Chakra were of concern because of the potential conflict with my system, but now, it seems there's really no conflict to worry about..."
Now, his negative attributes were completely unconstrained by the Longevity Secret.
Although still revolving around Yin Yang and the Five Elements, it was clearly evident that the proportion of his Yin attribute had significantly increased, even infusing Rune Inscriptions with Era of the Gods magic, the moves executed as Five Elements Divine Thunder were casting an aurora of dark Underworld hues.
"Heavenly Demon species... I wonder if I could draw inspiration, invert Demonic Species and alter the temperament to be more of the living realm..."
Tao Yu was simply letting his imagination run wild, but he also decided on a use for the One-Tail.
Previously, when he invoked Tree Boundary, he had to rely on the 'Ironblood Knight's' shared Legion's Strength for replenishment; after absorbing a Tailed Beast, even if he left the range of the Ninja World, combining it with the Crest Worms pets for charging and the Innate Barrier.
It would be no problem at all to routinely employ such high-caliber techniques.
"It's just right to also consume the Despair Witch's traits, and what I did to the Harkonnen Family before, I'm not even sure if I've digested it somewhat. Ah, too softhearted after all. Otherwise, in the Abyss, I feel like it would be very easy to digest..."
...
A puppet that looked somewhat like Pinocchio was flipping agilely on the ground, its nose occasionally stretching and shrinking.
Then, opening its mouth with a creaking sound, it spat out a machine-gun barrel and started to rattle off a barrage toward the front.
It turned those wooden figures used as targets into sawdust and finally retracted the smoking barrel.
"Mr. Tao, you truly are a genius in the craft of Puppetry Technique..."
Chiyo observed the simple, unadorned puppet that Tao Yu pieced together. Though the puppet was simple, his entry into the craft was far too effortless!
"Hmm, I had already mastered some similar abilities, so I got the hang of it quite fast."
Tao Yu wasn't just being modest; his talent-enhanced enlightenment was indeed good, but it was also because he had quickly reached the standard based on his previous Corpse Refining Art and the Einzbern Family's homunculus technology.
After all, the refurbishment of corpses and puppets shared similar ingenious approaches.
After all, Sasori had transformed the body of the Third Kazekage.
Tao Yu had also synchronized and fused this ability, making it convenient to use.
He might even be able to pair it with Black Mud and Grazing in the future.
However, the Puppetry Technique itself was just a stepping stone for Tao Yu, a pretext to interact more with Chiyo. Now that the time seemed ripe, Tao Yu asked with a hint of curiosity,
"I've noticed that Advisor Chiyo possesses a tremendous life force within her, which feels strange to me. I wonder if I might learn it?"
The Village Hidden by Sand had opened all of its Ninjutsu to Tao Yu for learning, without holding anything back.
It could be said that they were betting everything on him, aiming to form a community of mutual interest.
Chiyo's personal, hands-on instruction was proof of the importance they placed on him.
Now, upon hearing this, Chiyo paused slightly and fell silent for a moment.
Although the Reincarnation Technique was miraculous, Chiyo truly felt it was not impossible to teach.
Her main concern was that once Tao Yu learned of this technique, he might compel her to use it in the future to save someone who had to be saved.
That might end up impacting the relationship between the two parties.
Even if she saved someone, she feared the other party might harbor some resentment, perhaps feeling that the Village Hidden by Sand had grievances, leading to a rift.
"Oh, hesitating for so long, it seems to be some kind of self-sacrificial technique. Advisor Chiyo, you seem to underestimate the limit of us Pioneers."
Tao Yu gave a dumbfounded smile, startling Chiyo.

Seen through!
But what did you mean by that?
That the limit of you Pioneers is high?
Judging by your actions and the occasional contact with a few other Pioneers, this doesn't stand up!
"In the world of Pioneers, I am actually considered one of the more reasonable ones."
Reasonable?
A threat?!
Chiyo felt a trace of alarm and uncertainty in her heart.
"Our Pioneers' baseline is only worse than you can imagine, and your value is evident here. We would not waste you unless absolutely necessary. That would be too uneconomical. We can arrange for other valueless individuals to master this technique..."
The brutal 'value theory' Tao Yu spoke of sounded cruel, but it was also quite persuasive.
Ultimately, it persuaded Chiyo to nod.
"In that case, there is nothing else for me to hide. The Reincarnation Technique consumes the life of the caster and is a Forbidden Technique with a huge price, but obviously, the effect is clear..."
Chiyo hesitated before adding,
"This technique requires a high level of mastery in Sealing Skills, which Mr. Tao certainly has no trouble with..."
...
"Quite a forceful method, not as magical as I had imagined, but if the soul is not dead, and it's only a fatal injury to the body, it indeed can bring someone back with considerable impact..."
Tao Yu had learned Chiyo's Reincarnation Technique.
It was a brutal method of forcefully channeling one's life energy into someone not quite dead to revive them.
It could be seen as simply a giant version of the 'Blood Vial' the young heiress had given him.
"It's also an additional method after all since it's just a matter of eating something to replenish it for me."
This technique would be very impractical for others, who would neither learn nor use it if they could.
But for Tao Yu, it could indeed be considered a kind of 'healing technique', and a powerful one at that!
If the soul wasn't greatly damaged, one could be pulled back from the brink of death.
Had he suddenly become a divine healer?
"For a Pioneer without the convenience of Chakra, which integrates life energy and mental energy, the difficulty of getting started is quite high. But for me, there's no threshold..."
Already united with Vigor, Energy, and Spirit, Tao Yu, who had no connection to Divine Tree mycelium, found it not difficult to simulate a similar effect.
"Looks about right, now I can look into the culinary methods of the One-Tail..."
