Chapter 681: Pixel Style

Similarly being bounced away, Feng Tingyu at least had flexibility, it was just that the closer to the bottom she was pressed, the more terrifying her elasticity would become, until later it was simply a straight-line increase.

And this time, Wei Yuan was bounced away hard, without the slightest softness, the hardness chasing dark iron; Wei Yuan felt this hardness could completely be used to manually rifle a cannon barrel.

Wei Yuan managed to stabilize his body, not crashing into the wall. He had already seen the person who came, but was somewhat incredulous, saying, "Grand Senior Sister?"

Seeing Ji Liuli gathered her scattered hair and said, "What, surprised to see me?"

"Aren't you in seclusion? Have you already consolidated?"

"With my root bone, does it need consolidation? Come, let me show you my Dharma Body."

Seeing Ji Liuli picked up a small magic treasure knife used as a decoration in the Enlightenment Room, separated a long hair from her head, and blew at the knife. The hair strand swept past, and the knife broke into two pieces. Thus, it could cut a hair.

Only then did Wei Yuan understand why he felt like he had crashed into a dark iron mountain just now. Grand Senior Sister's Dharma Body was truly somewhat abstract; even the Mingwang Hall didn't have anything this exaggerated.

Wei Yuan decisively dismissed the thought of sparring with her. Wei Yuan's Dharma Form was large and complex, like heaven and earth, almost a formed Mind-Reflection World.

And Seeing Ji Liuli was clearly extremely condensed; this small and ultimate nature was exactly the nemesis of Wei Yuan's Dharma Form. Just looking at Seeing Ji Liuli's demonstration just now, Wei Yuan knew that even if he used the Yin-Yang Giant Sword and operated the Four Barbarians Swept Away, he was afraid he could only cut open half of her Dharma Body.

Wei Yuan inquired further and learned that Seeing Ji Liuli had used seven days to consolidate her Dharma Form, then followed True Lord Yan Shi to learn knowledge of the Dharma Form stage, and after graduating, headed straight for Qingming.

She happened to see the notes Wei Yuan left in the Merit Hall on Five Elements Dao Soldiers, so she also exchanged for a copy of Tinghai Xianjun's article, and after consulting some information on the world beyond the heavens, she excitedly studied the true meaning of the Dao Law in the Enlightenment Room.

She forgot the time while studying, and unknowingly it had been several days. It wasn't until Wei Yuan entered the Enlightenment Room again that he discovered Seeing Ji Liuli.

After exchanging experiences, Seeing Ji Liuli picked up a piece of jade paper, wrote half a page of numbers on it, and said, "I just looked at the notes you left; your understanding of Water Element Dao Soldiers has some deviations. Actually, this problem is quite simple, just a few more changes in the basic principles. Tinghai Xianjun has a very clear exposition; look, it's these few paragraphs..."

Wei Yuan had read those paragraphs many times, and he recognized the characters.

Seeing Ji Liuli rolled her eyes at him, understanding that Wei Yuan didn't understand at all, so she patiently explained: "To make a Water-attribute Dao Soldier reach the flexibility of the 'Dharma Form early stage' level, the system needs to configure at least 4096 controllable nodes. Each node is like a feature vector, responsible for controlling different parts of the body to move in different directions; multiple nodes combine to form a 'basic action', similar to a high-level action feature after feature crossing.

But if every node is controlled independently, it is equivalent to building an extremely complex high-dimensional control space, which is not only inefficient but also has extremely high redundancy. Therefore, we introduce a set of basic control instructions; through the combination of these basic instructions, complex yet orderly action sequences can be generated.

The combination method can be modeled with the help of a recursive tree structure, such as using the node splitting mechanism in a decision tree or random forest to optimize the action generation path. Each layer of nodes represents a decision point, such as raising a hand, turning left, etc., and finally, through a series of rule paths, outputs a 'Water Blade Launch' action.

That is to say, when we 'move our divine sense', it is essentially inputting a high-level command to the model, similar to the input signal of a neural network, and the backend control logic tree will automatically execute the action generation logic to complete the water blade release. Of course, we can also use a method called Principal Component Analysis to reduce dimensions, projecting these 4096 nodes onto dozens of 'principal axes', each representing a key action feature, such as 'Qi Gathering', 'Wrist Turning', 'Blade Chopping'. In this way, the system only needs to process dozens of 'spiritual dimensions' to restore the entire action, which is also a matter of a divine sense move."

Wei Yuan wanted to say that originally, after copying the basic spell model, this spell could also launch a water blade with a move of divine sense, without needing to learn so much.

Seeing Ji Liuli spoke for more than half an hour, finally finishing how the Water Element Dao Soldiers launch the water blade technique. Wei Yuan understood every word and remembered them all, but when put together, he didn't understand what it meant.

Seeing Ji Liuli rolled her eyes, saying that rotten wood cannot be carved. Wei Yuan was also helpless; he had just transmitted these to the Human World Renjian Yanhuo, but the Wolong and Fengchu collectively played dead, and not one made a sound.

The two came out of the Enlightenment Room, and Wei Yuan took Seeing Ji Liuli to the Xiancheng. There was also a set of residences for Seeing Ji Liuli here, and Wei Yuan clearly remembered her preferences; from the color scheme to the layout to the decoration, they were all styles Seeing Ji Liuli liked, making Seeing Ji Liuli's eyes shine.

Subsequently, Seeing Ji Liuli moved around on her own, walking and looking around in Qingming, while Wei Yuan returned to the Merit Hall Enlightenment Room to continue his studies.

For Water Element Dao Soldiers, Seeing Ji Liuli had a research method, and Wei Yuan also had his own research method: first, he had to be able to cast the most basic Dao Law.

After several hours of study, Wei Yuan felt he was a little closer to success; as for how much closer, he couldn't say clearly either.

Wei Yuan had a sudden inspiration; after building the spell core, he directly reduced the number of nodes on the Dao Soldier by two digits, and thus successfully built his first spell Dao Soldier.

This Dao Soldier was very strange, the whole body was composed of dozens of Water Element blocks, one arm only had ten or so faces, and the body was about the same, completely like several roughly cut blocks pieced together.

According to Xu Wenwu, this is pixel style.

Thus, Wei Yuan built his first pixel Dao Soldier. This Dao Soldier had limited strength, about the level of a newly entered Dao Foundation, and was a human-rank Dao Foundation.

Wei Yuan silently dispersed this Dao Soldier. If people knew he used a Master Yu Jing Dao Law to pinch out a Dao Foundation Dao Soldier, the teacher might clean up the sect.

However, pixel Dao Soldiers also had benefits. Wei Yuan came to the Dao Technique Test Field, waved his hand, and several hundred pixel Dao Soldiers stood in the field. It was just that this scene looked a bit eerie; Wei Yuan felt like heaven and earth had a malfunction.

With Wei Yuan's current vast divine sense and Dao power, he could release over a thousand pixel Dao Soldiers in one breath. Over a thousand human-rank Dao Foundations were also very terrifying in power.

This was the same path Zhang Sheng took, winning by quantity and breaking the situation with force.

Subsequently, Wei Yuan's heart moved, and the Dao Soldiers began to move on their own, even starting to fight each other in pairs. But only two hundred or so Dao Soldiers had actions, and three hundred or so stood stupidly in place, motionless like wood.

Wei Yuan dispersed the three hundred Dao Soldiers he couldn't control, and the remaining two hundred or so Dao Soldiers suddenly became much more agile, and there were more details. For example, the face, which was originally a flat board, now had a few more faces, and the power also had a small increase.

Looking at these two hundred or so ridiculous and somewhat eerie Dao Soldiers, Wei Yuan roughly evaluated their combat power; the total combat power was much higher than a Dharma Form level Water Element Dao Soldier.

Wei Yuan recorded all the data and was just about to start the second research project, which was to use all Dao Soldiers as formation nodes to form a formation for attack.

It was just that before he could start, suddenly the Dao power in his body boiled, and the upper limit climbed step by step! Wei Yuan shouted "not good" in his heart, and upon looking, sure enough, mist was surging at the edge of the Human World Renjian Yanhuo, new land blocks were constantly being generated, and the entire Human World Renjian Yanhuo had started a new round of expansion, and it was exceptionally fierce!

Wei Yuan's divine sense quickly scanned the entire Human World Renjian Yanhuo, searching for the source of the change.

He saw a delicate woman standing in the garden, watering a patch of red, burning moss on the ground with spiritual energy.

Wei Yuan was dumbfounded; he didn't expect Fuyao could actually grow this Phoenix Blood Longevity Moss! It was just that with this, he didn't know how many more years his Dao path would be extended.

At this very moment, a strange thought suddenly emerged: that egg, wouldn't it also be able to hatch something?

This matter, by common sense, was not very likely, but common sense in the immortal cultivation world was that anything could happen.

The more Wei Yuan thought, the more he felt something was wrong, so he immediately notified the girl Yin-Yang, asking her to find a way to suppress that egg and not let it change.

Subsequently, Wei Yuan cut off a needle-tip-sized bit from the Phoenix Blood Longevity Moss and took it to Xu Henshui for testing.

At this time, Xu Henshui's Pill Hall was again undergoing major construction, and numerous alchemists were taking out formation materials from stacked boxes, setting up a formation.

This large formation was not small in scale, covering several pill rooms and herb rooms, and the formation patterns were also mysterious, mysterious to the point that Wei Yuan couldn't understand them at all.

This inability to understand was really not because Wei Yuan's formation foundation was poor, but because high-level formations would change according to the materials; the rarer the materials, the rarer the formation. So Wei Yuan didn't recognize this formation, which meant that a large number of rare materials that Wei Yuan had never seen before were used inside.

Wei Yuan came to Xu Henshui's side and asked, "Uncle Master Xu, what formation is this?"

Xu Henshui said, "This is the Dongwei Spiritual Formation. This formation can significantly enhance divine sense; in this formation, whether refining pills or identifying medicinal properties, one can reach the realm of subtlety. Medicinal materials that are normally only enough for one study can be studied seven or eight times in this formation.

For example, certain spiritual mushrooms normally require one whole, but with the blessing of this formation, just taking a small piece of the umbrella leaf with spiritual seeds is enough. If the cultivator's divine sense is strong, even one spiritual seed is enough."

Wei Yuan took out the Phoenix Blood Longevity Moss and smiled, "With this formation's help, these medicinal materials should be enough for Uncle Master."

Xu Henshui looked at that needle-tip-sized moss and was also speechless, saying, "You think too highly of your Uncle Master."

However, when the Dongwei Spiritual Formation was completed, Xu Henshui estimated he could study the pill formula three times with this bit of medicinal material. When Xu Henshui took the medicine, Wei Yuan suddenly discovered that his fingertips had been trembling slightly, and he was shocked, hurriedly asking, "Uncle Master, what happened to you?"

A cultivator's Dharma Body control emphasizes subtlety; if uncontrollable trembling appears, it means a big problem has occurred.

Xu Henshui looked at Wei Yuan gloomily and said resentfully, "Liuli has already left, why did you provoke her back for no reason? Just now she found me and insisted on sparring, and then I became like this. This dead woman, her hands have no sense of weight."

Wei Yuan had personally experienced the toughness of Seeing Ji Liuli's Dharma Body, already comparable to a Master Yu Jing-perfect freak. He didn't dare to spar with her himself, so Xu Henshui's weak body was naturally unbearable to be ravaged.

Wei Yuan felt something was wrong and immediately went to the Xiancheng.

At this moment, only Feng Chutang is in the Xiancheng; he is sitting at his desk, quietly looking at the blueprint of the Rebirth Pool traced before him, everything appearing peaceful and serene.

Wei Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Uncle Master Feng!"

Feng Chutang looked up and said calmly, "Does the nephew have something?"

Wei Yuan finally realized something was wrong; at this moment, Feng Chutang completely lacked his usual gentle warmth, and there was actually a dead aura in the bottom of his eyes.

"Uncle Master, you are..."
