Fifteen minutes later.
When Seimei activated the power of "Domain of Man" for the ninth time and used "Palm Immortal Technique" to enhance his body, he noticed a distinct change.
At that moment, it felt as though something invisible inside him shattered. His whole body felt lighter, as if a layer of heavy armor had been shed, bringing an indescribable sense of relief.
In an instant, the accumulated power from the previous eight uses of the "Palm Immortal Technique" surged throughout his body under this final activation.
Seimei let out a satisfied hum.
He felt a warm current flowing through his body, spreading via his chakra network to every corner of his being. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NoveI~Fire.net
Seimei's cells were being strengthened, the power embedded in his genes was being unlocked, and even his brow faintly tingled.
Seimei understood that this sensation came from the Byakugan he had transplanted, which was now integrating into his body.
If someone were to open his skull at that moment, they would see that the surgical scars left by the operation were rapidly fading. Everything was becoming natural, as if it had been there from birth.
This... was the miracle of life!
However, before Seimei could fully experience the Byakugan fusing with his body, the power driving the transformation dissipated.
Clearly, this evolution was incomplete.
If his guess was correct, his Byakugan's awakening progress still hadn't reached 100/100.
With a thought, Seimei summoned his proficiency panel.
In the next moment, the familiar light-blue screen appeared:

As expected, his Byakugan awakening progress was still far from 100/100, stopping at just 70/100.
This highlighted how challenging it was to integrate a foreign element into one's body!
The fact that his Byakugan reached 70/100 after just three evolutionary steps was thanks to the natural compatibility between the Byakugan and Sharingan, both originating from the same source.
Otherwise, the difficulty would have been even greater.
It was no wonder that others found it so challenging to use the Byakugan or Sharingan after obtaining them.
Based on his current progress, Seimei estimated that fully awakening the Byakugan and integrating it into his body would likely require further enhancements to both his "Physique" and "Spirit" attributes.
When it came to attribute upgrades, Seimei's gaze immediately shifted to the attributes panel.
