Start with the Mangekyō and leave Konoha with Madara.

"Welcome to...Ryuchi Cave!"

Kamiya and Orochimaru looked at the woman in front of them and tilted their heads at the same time. The master and disciple showed an extraordinary tacit understanding at this moment.

"You are Tian Xin Shen Ji, right?"

Shen Yu's eyes were filled with scrutiny.

"Oh? It seems that Xinya has already told you two. Then I won't introduce myself." Tian Xinshen Ji slightly covered her red lips and smiled quite intellectually.

Orochimaru's face was tense. The magnificent palace, the harmless people and animals, the ethereal woman... all these did not make him feel relaxed. Instead, they increased the uneasiness in his heart.

Under the respectful guidance of Tian Xin Shen Ji, the master and disciple walked into the palace.

Just like the magnificent exterior, the interior is even more splendid, with carved dragons and jade pillars supporting the hall, and vermilion carpets spread out lavishly. Both the furniture decorations and wallpaper murals are extremely luxurious and dazzling. The hall is even filled with the aroma of food.

"You two must be exhausted after coming from afar. Please take a good rest here."

Tian Xin Shen Ji led the two of them to their seats, where they saw a long dining table filled with sumptuous delicacies, including a dazzling array of meat and vegetarian dishes with fragrant aromas. There were also many delicacies from land and sea that Orochimaru had never even seen before. This was the source of the fragrance in the hall.

Orochimaru frowned slightly and glanced at Shenyu subconsciously, but saw that his teacher looked normal and had no emotional fluctuations.

"Is this...really the Dragon Cave?"

Orochimaru looked up at Tianxin Shenji, "You knew we were coming?"

The other party smiled politely and pointed at the dining table, "Yes, everything here is prepared for you two."

"Xinya told you?"

"No, it was the order of the White Snake Immortal." Tian Xin Shen Ji waved her sleeves, "Compared to him, Xin Ya actually told you more information about the Longdi Cave."

"You are right." Orochimaru's eyes were calm, "In addition to your name, Xinya also told us that you... are in charge of the first test of the Ryuchi Cave."

"Ah, tests and the like are only for ordinary people." Tian Xinshen Ji smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth. "We in Longdi Cave are very welcome to you two."

"According to you, as long as I want, I can practice magic with the White Snake Sage anytime?" Orochimaru narrowed his eyes.

"Yes, Lord White Snake is bathing and changing clothes in the temple deep in the Longdi Cave, and he specially ordered me to come here to entertain you two."

Tian Xin Shen Ji bowed slightly and said, "When you two have eaten and rested enough, you will naturally be able to see Master White Snake. In the meantime, please enjoy your meal."

Immediately, she personally served a plate of shrimps to the two of them and handed it to them.

But neither Kamiya nor Orochimaru showed any intention of picking up their chopsticks.

"Huh? Why don't you two eat it? This is top-quality food." Tian Xinshenji looked confused. "Are you dissatisfied with our Longdidong's poor cooking skills?"

Shen Yu smiled slightly but said nothing. He just sat aside with his chin propped up, looking like he was enjoying the show.

Orochimaru looked at Tian Xinshen Ji and suddenly said, "Can I ask a presumptuous question?"

"Of course." Tian Xinshen Ji tilted her head and smiled.

"Your Excellency is probably... not a human being." Orochimaru said slowly.

Tian Xinshenji was slightly stunned, and after a moment she smiled again, "Of course."

"That's no problem."

Orochimaru, however, took the initiative and pushed the plate of shrimps in front of Tian Xinshen Ji, "Sorry, I can't eat this."

Tian Xinshen Ji asked in confusion: "Why?"

At this time, even Shen Yu looked over leisurely.

Orochimaru sighed softly, "I have a friend named Jiraiya. When we were practicing the 'Summoning Technique' together, that guy rashly performed it without even signing any summoning contract, and he disappeared right in front of us."

"It was not until two months later that he ran back to Konoha with a bitter face. It turned out that by chance, he had sent himself to another fairyland, Myoboku Mountain, where he had to live and eat with a group of giant toads practicing fairy arts for two months."

"He was miserable during those two months because there was no food for normal humans to eat. He didn't want to starve to death, so he had to eat insects with the toads... I still remember the expression on his face."

At this point, Orochimaru raised his head and looked directly into the eyes of Tianxin Snake Princess, "The toads in Myoboku Mountain eat insects, so what do the snakes in your Ryuchi Cave eat?"

The air suddenly fell silent.

Tian Xinshenji was stunned for a long time before she stopped smiling and smacked her lips, "Really? Just eat the food obediently, what a cautious kid."

Suddenly, that beautiful and intellectual face began to deform in an instant, with white face, fangs, eerie vertical pupils, and a weird smile on the face covered with white scales.

Orochimaru showed no surprise, "You keep saying there is no test, but in fact the test has already begun the moment we saw you."

Tian Xin Shen Ji laughed sharply, and as she spit out her snake tongue, the lights in the entire palace went out and began to disappear bit by bit. The food that had smelled so fragrant just now had already turned into piles of rotten mud.

The darkness swallowed up the light again, and the lingering white mist once again filled the surroundings.

Orochimaru looked around and saw nothing but bones everywhere, and no trace of the palace.

Tian Xinshenji slowly floated in the air, her tone revealing a bit of regret, "Really, I thought I could finally drink the chakra of the hot-blooded young man..."

Orochimaru raised his eyes slightly, and two miniature white snakes sprang out from his sleeves, and he had several shurikens clenched in his hands.

"Don't be nervous, my trial is over, and this time it's real." Tian Xin Shen Ji's voice became erratic, "Only those who fail the trial will be devoured by me..."

As soon as the words fell, the figure in white merged into the mist and disappeared.

Shen Yu clapped his hands, "Okay, next stop."

Orochimaru glanced at Shenyu, "Master, have you figured out that all this is an illusion?"

"What nonsense."

Shen Yu blinked his eyes. "In this world, there are very few illusions that can deceive my eyes. I could easily see through this level even twenty years ago."

He walked forward leisurely, and Orochimaru followed closely behind him.

After a while, the white mist dissipated and the master and disciple arrived in front of a stalactite cave.

Shen Yu walked in without saying a word.

"Uh, Master, shall we go in directly?"

"Where else can you go?"

"Okay." Orochimaru had no choice but to follow.

He had just entered the cave when he heard a loud "bang" behind him. A huge rock fell to the ground, blocking the entrance.
