Chapter 227: Advanced Dao Arts

So many books were not read in vain; next, Little Wei Yuan had to start constructing his own advanced Dao method.

Little Wei Yuan had already learned the original Water Blade Storm, but that was another type of standard version, suitable for all Dharma Form and high-level Foundation Establishment cultivators, but not suitable for Little Wei Yuan.

Although Little Wei Yuan basically didn't understand the Immortal Monarch's Dao of Water, after reading it through gritted teeth, Little Wei Yuan found that there were many parts in the book that could be used immediately.

For example, the shape of the water blade at the extreme of arts; the Immortal Monarch talked about principles, and the difficulty of calculating it was extremely high. Without the spiritual sense of a True Person, don't even think about it, but if one really wanted to research something, it was best to do it after ascending to immortality. An immortal's spiritual sense could have billions of thoughts in an instant, and only this kind of spiritual sense could calculate related problems clearly.

However, Little Wei Yuan didn't need to calculate, because the Immortal Monarch had directly given the water blade form most suitable for flight in the wind of this domain, and also given the corresponding Dao method structure. As for how the water blade walked in steel, how it walked in flesh and blood, and even how it walked in the opponent's defensive Dao method, those were secret traditions, or perhaps the Immortal Monarch hadn't researched them either.

Little Wei Yuan thought it was also true; after becoming an immortal, who would still use Water Blade Art? Did they still want face?

After reading the book, Little Wei Yuan knew that the problem with the original Water Blade Storm was that the Dao method structure wasn't large enough, and it couldn't contain Little Wei Yuan's bottomless Dao power, limiting the upper limit of the Dao method's power.

This was the benefit of reading; if he hadn't exchanged for all the Immortal Monarch's works and read them, the only thing Little Wei Yuan could think of was to exchange for a more powerful Dao method later.

Now Little Wei Yuan felt that the Dao method structure of the Rapid Flow Water Blade Art was quite huge, which was very suitable for him. And this Dao method structure had evolved over tens of thousands of years and was already quite perfect and stable enough.

Little Wei Yuan started from this Dao method structure, first removing all decorative and unnecessary parts for Little Wei Yuan. Which parts could be disassembled without affecting the overall structure was also mentioned in the Immortal Monarch's book, and now he could just disassemble them directly.

This spell was an ancient Dao method, and the water flow shot out was thin and fast. After Little Wei Yuan added the water blade configuration part to the Dao method structure, there were more real water blades in the water flow. Little Wei Yuan thought about it and tried to add more water blade configurations, so the number of water blades in the water flow increased accordingly, and the power skyrocketed.

Seeing that the attempt was effective, Little Wei Yuan kept stacking water blade configurations on it, installing eighteen in one breath. At this time, a water flow shot out, and it was already densely packed with water blades inside.

Little Wei Yuan continued to modify, shrinking the water blade configuration until each water blade shot out was only the size of a fingernail. Then he installed one hundred and eight in one breath.

Up to this point, most of the work on the Rapid Flow Water Blade Art was completed. Next, he installed components to make the water flow thicker and faster, with a longer range, and even capable of turning slightly according to his will. Anyway, the Dao method core structure was big and strong enough, so he could just stack them up.

In the blink of an eye, a day and a night passed, and Little Wei Yuan didn't sleep or rest, finally completing his first advanced Dao method. Next was to test the power of the Dao method.

The domain was vast and sparsely populated, and there was a special target range for testing Dao arts. Little Wei Yuan specifically chose the time one hour before dawn to come here, and sure enough, there was no one there.

Little Wei Yuan moved a stone-carved human target one zhang high, buried half of it underground, and placed three layers of magic treasure armor plates on the chest, adding up to two palms thick. Then he erected five wooden boards nailed with steel plates behind the stone target as protection. Originally, the Dao art target range had to be set up with formations to eliminate Dao power, but Little Wei Yuan had no money.

After setting it up, Little Wei Yuan estimated that the defense of this stone target was roughly equivalent to five Xiang Xiaoyu, half an Eldest Senior Sister, or half a Dharma Form elder of the Xu family back then.

After getting ready, Little Wei Yuan carefully mobilized his Dao power, and a faint light appeared in front of his body, then extinguished. Little Wei Yuan tried again, the light was brighter, then extinguished.

This was the standard process for testing a new Dao method, which was to increase Dao power bit by bit, and proceed to the next step after there was no problem with one step.

After repeating this three or five times, Little Wei Yuan finally had confidence, and there was suddenly wind in the Myriad Miles of Rivers and Mountains, and the gravel on the ground was also jumping slightly. This one Dao method finally made Little Wei Yuan mobilize all his Dao power!

A strong light suddenly appeared in front of Little Wei Yuan, then turned into a huge ring of light several zhang wide, and a water flow the thickness of a water bucket shot out from the center of the ring, brilliant like a galaxy inside, not knowing how many tiny water blades it contained.

The water column hit the human stone target, and the three layers of magic treasure armor plates were reduced to ashes after only a slight resistance, and then a huge hole appeared in the center of the stone target. The water column continued forward, and the five wooden boards nailed with steel plates were directly penetrated as if they didn't exist at all.

This brilliant water column spanned a thousand zhang in an instant, making the entire domain brighten up, and then it slowly disappeared.

Little Wei Yuan held his breath for a moment. The stone target he had personally set up had Dharma Form-level defense, and it was just finished like this?

In an instant, several spiritual senses swept across the target range, some of which were familiar, some Little Wei Yuan was not so familiar with, and some were completely strange to Little Wei Yuan. Little Wei Yuan counted, and excluding the Eldest Senior Sister and the teacher, there were actually three more spiritual senses. It seemed that there were quite a few people hidden in Qingming. The last few were originally hidden perfectly, but were shocked by Little Wei Yuan's Dao method and were all blown out.

Little Wei Yuan didn't need to do it himself; the Eldest Senior Sister and the teacher had already moved.

Subsequently, a powerful divine sense arrived late, and True Person Chuhe, wearing two black eyes, relied on his eight immortal swords for protection and flew over all the way, saying while flying: "What happened? Why did this old Daoist feel heart-palpitations just now, as if there was a danger of falling?"

The old Daoist came to the Dao art testing range and only saw a stone human target with a big hole in its body, and then there was a long mark on the ground, and the grass leaves near the mark were all flattened.

The old Daoist went to look at that mark, and the further he looked, the more his face changed.

"What Dao art is this?" the old Daoist asked.

In the spirit of respecting the teacher and valuing the Dao, Little Wei Yuan didn't lie: "Rapid Flow Water Blade Art."

True Person Chuhe stroked his remaining few beard hairs, searched his memory, and relied on the True Person's powerful spiritual sense to find the corresponding Dao method from the vast sea of memory in the blink of an eye. "Oh, so it's an ancient Dao art. The power of this Dao art is quite large, it's just that it's too clumsy..." Fortunately, True Person Chuhe didn't have the habit of being fond of being a teacher, so he said one sentence and didn't mention it again.

In ancient times, those who could cultivate were all natural Dao seeds, and the Dao arts they explored bit by bit by observing heaven and earth and the great powers of other races were extremely powerful, but they were clumsy and rough, and not a real genius could use them. Unlike today's Dao arts, which were exquisite, and any cultivator could release two.

At this time, three Dharma power fluctuations appeared one after another in the distance, like three bubbles being poked, and then Zhang Sheng and Ji Liuli flew over carrying three small animals and threw them on the ground.

Zhang Sheng said: "Caught three Shaman spies. Your method of beating the grass to scare the snake is not bad, just remember to communicate in advance next time."

Ji Liuli looked at the traces left on the ground, thoughtful, and said: "Are you researching ancient Dao arts? That should have been learned after the Dharma Form. Did this Dao method of yours succeed? What Dao method is it?"

"It succeeded, it's the Rapid Flow Water Blade Art. But why must one learn ancient Dao arts after the Dharma Form?"

Ji Liuli had been a teacher for several years after all, and explained: "Many ancient Dao arts directly imitate the heaven and earth nature, and their power is huge but the structure is unstable; the vast majority of ancient Dao arts must be modified before they can be used as normal Dao arts. Many people learn ancient Dao arts to observe the operation of the Great Dao from another angle, and only the spiritual sense of the Dharma Form realm is strong enough to analyze the Dao method structure. Oh, your spiritual sense is actually almost enough."

Ji Liuli added: "Everyone gather after breakfast; we need to discuss the matter of the siege cannon today."

"Siege... cannon?" True Person Chuhe felt that he didn't seem to understand.

"It's a tool for attacking the opponent's city," Ji Liuli said.

!.

"So that's it, I said why I had never heard of it. Then can this old Daoist participate?"

"It would be best if the True Person wants to participate."

After a few people dispersed, Little Wei Yuan's heart, which had just calmed down, jumped violently again.

The newly formed Dao method drew away Dao power equivalent to one hundred ordinary Foundation Establishments from Little Wei Yuan in one go, and subsequently needed continuous supply of Dao power, but its power also far exceeded expectations. If he encountered the Xu family Dharma Form from that day again, if he dared to carry it head-on, he would break his defense in three breaths and be seriously injured in ten breaths.

If one hundred ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators' Dao power were smashed at a Dharma Form one by one, it would be scraping; but if they were gathered together and smashed out, it would become transcendence.

Let alone that Xu family Dharma Form elder, even if the Eldest Senior Sister came, she wouldn't be able to carry it...

Little Wei Yuan hurriedly threw this terrible thought to the back of his mind; since researching this new Dao art, Little Wei Yuan vaguely felt that respecting the teacher and valuing the Dao was moving away, and betraying the master and destroying the ancestors was getting closer and closer. These four words seemed to be within the range of the Dao method.

The new Dao method could kill a Dharma Form, so it could already be listed as Earth-level, and it was worth naming separately. But Little Wei Yuan didn't have much talent in this regard, so he hastily set it as Water Dragon Cannon for now, and would think about it in detail after advancing later.

The Water Dragon Cannon was extremely powerful, but it was indeed a bit inflexible; Dharma Forms didn't want face, and if they really wanted to dodge, they could still dodge it. However, Little Wei Yuan had a flash of inspiration: people could dodge, but the city couldn't!

Little Wei Yuan looked far away, and at the end of his line of sight in that direction was the magnificent city newly built by the Shaman tribe.

Originally, everyone was worried, and after reading Xu Wenwu's data, they were preparing to put the siege cannon on the agenda. But now Little Wei Yuan felt that there seemed to be no need; what kind of city wall could be harder than the Dharma body of a Dharma Form True Person, and could withstand the cutting and washing of a Water Dragon?

Originally, Little Wei Yuan was worried day and night, but now he hoped that the Shaman tribe would build the city bigger and higher, and waste more manpower and material resources.

A moment later, the sky brightened, and the people of the Grand Void Palace gathered in one place to discuss the siege cannon.

Little Wei Yuan didn't raise an objection because he had the Water Dragon Dao method, but instead actively promoted it. Now for him, he wanted both the Water Dragon Cannon and the siege cannon.

At this time, in the deep mountains ten thousand miles away in the southeast, several cultivators had built a few wooden houses and were excavating the mountain wall beside them, researching the distribution of mineral veins inside.

A dark-skinned cultivator looked at the sky and frowned: "Another day, why is there still no news?"

A young cultivator beside him said: "Eldest Senior Brother, I'm not speaking ill of people behind their backs. But is it really reliable for you to entrust True Person Chuhe with this matter? Those guys in Jianmu Hall love to pretend to be old farmers; they look honest, but they are more cunning than the next."

Eldest Senior Brother's face sank, and he said: "Who told you that? How can you arrange the elders of the same sect like this?"

"Mistress said so."

Eldest Senior Brother immediately stopped talking.

The young cultivator added: "Eldest Senior Brother, count the time, a few rounds of news are enough. That old Daoist wouldn't have discovered some good things and wanted to eat alone behind our backs, right?"
