Chapter 2263 The Crux
Entering the colorful world in this abyss of stars is definitely the most fortunate thing for Lu Ye. If it weren't for the colorful world, his strength would never improve so rapidly, because he might have to spend a lot of time looking for people to hunt for Dao bones.
But it's different in the colorful world. There are war zones of all sizes, and enemies can be seen everywhere.
Two hundred and one...
Two hundred and two...
...
Two hundred and ten!
With the improvement of strength, the consumption of Dao power for polishing Dao bones has become more and more serious. Now, even with the assistance of enlightenment tea, the consumption of Dao power for polishing Dao bones once exceeds tens of thousands.
Continue polishing.
Failure, Dao bones are broken, and re-condensed.
Fail again...
Lu Ye is calm, even if every time Dao bones are broken, it brings unimaginable pain, his expression does not change at all. He has experienced this too many times.
Ordinary Dao only needs to polish five Dao bones, but he has polished more than two hundred Dao bones now. How many times have he failed?
Failure...
Failure...
Failure again...
One day later, Lu Ye frowned slightly, feeling that something was not right.
According to previous experience, after each failure, the selected bone would quickly re-condense and become more solid until it could carry the power of Taoism at a certain moment and then be successfully polished.
But this time seemed different.
The selected bone was broken and re-condensed, but it seemed to have no change. This was the fundamental reason why it had not been successful.
And for this piece of Taoism bone, he had consumed more than 30,000 Taoism powers.
Without continuing to polish the Taoism bone, Lu Ye focused his mind and felt himself.
Since there was an abnormality, of course, he had to find out the cause and then take targeted measures. Otherwise, even if he kept trying like this, Lu Ye felt that he would not be able to succeed.
But after a careful investigation, he did not find anything abnormal, which puzzled Lu Ye.
The polishing of Taoism bones was very smooth before. Even though he had experienced countless failures, each failure was paving the way for the final success. What was the situation now?
It was obvious that only the last five Dao bones were left to complete the Great Perfection, but it was stuck.
Five Dao bones, this number is also quite intriguing. Ordinary Daoists can only polish five pieces. Could it be that there are five pieces that cannot be polished? But what is the reason?
There is no way to ask others for advice on this matter. Even if Jiuying is still alive, Lu Ye estimates that it can't explain anything.
Looking at the entire Xingyuan, I am probably the only one like him.
After slightly urging the Dao power, Lu Ye felt that his whole body was full of power. The Dao power he controlled increased step by step, and Lu Ye suddenly raised his eyebrows.
When he was immersed in his mind to investigate just now, he didn't notice anything unusual, but when he was controlling the Dao power at this moment, he suddenly made some discoveries.
He quickly calmed down his mind, while continuing to improve the Dao power he controlled, he felt it carefully.
When his power increased to two hundred Dao, the whole person suddenly trembled slightly, and his skin began to turn red.
Continue to improve...
With a hissing sound, a cut appeared on Lu Ye's arm, and blood spurted out, as if a chain reaction had been triggered. The next moment, wounds appeared out of thin air, and Lu Ye instantly became a bloody man.
Not only his appearance, but also his internal organs were severely damaged, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
The power of Taoism dissipated, and Lu Ye looked listless and embarrassed.
But there was a light in his eyes!
He knew where the problem was.
It was not a rare problem, but a problem that all Taoists had to face!
Background!
Lu Ye had come into contact with information about this before he entered Taoism, but he had never thought that one day he would have to face it.
When a cultivator enters the Dao, his strength varies, which is due to his different foundations. Just like the group of Rizhao who were taken to the Yanjia Starry Sky by the ghost sedan, after they were promoted to the Dao, the Dao power they controlled was different. Those with stronger foundations could directly enter the five Daos, while those with weaker foundations could only reach four or even three Daos.
Of course, the subsequent strength can be improved step by step, which is also the process of improving one's own foundation. Only with sufficient foundation can one support oneself to control more Dao power.
Lu Ye practiced the ancient method of the Three Flowers Technique. Xingxiu, Yueyao, and Rizhao have all reached their own extremes. Finally, he used the furnace method to melt his body. His foundation is much stronger than that of ordinary cultivators.
So he can control more Dao power.
But there is a limit after all.
Two hundred and ten Daos is his limit, and this limit can only be achieved by ordinary cultivators when they reach the level of Dao Fusion.
The reason why Dao bones cannot be polished successfully is because of the constraints of their own limits.
In fact, even the current 210 Dao, Lu Ye can't control it for a long time, he can only use it as a means of bursting. The Dao power he can safely control is about 200 Dao. As long as the Dao power reserve is sufficient, it will not cause harm to him.
Realizing the problem, Lu Ye was a little disappointed.
He had never thought that he would encounter such a problem. Everything was fine before, but something went wrong at the last minute.
But this time, his strength was really improved a lot, from 167 to 210, a full 40-plus strength improvement, which made him discover something he had never noticed before.
It was a bit difficult.
Although the problem was discovered, how to solve it?
With his current state, it is not an easy thing to improve his own foundation, because the foundation is too solid, and it can almost be said that there is no room for improvement, unless the realm is improved.
But Lu Ye was unwilling to improve his realm without polishing his own Dao bone to perfection.
This is a dead end.
He felt that if he polished his own Dao bone to perfection before promoting, there might be unexpected benefits, so he would never promote in advance.
After all, there were only the last five Dao bones left.
There was still a lot of Dao power left, but the Dao bone could not be polished further. This was outrageous. He had always lacked Dao power before.
After thinking for a while, there was no solution for the time being, so Lu Ye could only stand up and walk towards the exit.
A moment later, Lu Ye appeared in the Xingyuan, and beside him was the colorful shrinking starry sky.
"Hello, sir."
Not far away, two Zerg Rongdao stood side by side, saluting Lu Ye with complicated expressions.
They were the two direct descendants of Youdie, the female Zerg was called Yayi, and the male Zerg was called Kuzhi.
The recent experiences made them feel like they were in a dream.
First, their own Zerg Mother teamed up with Lu Ye to do something rebellious, which made the entire war zone restless, and even the two of them became accomplices under the order of the Zerg Mother, and then they were taken by Lu Ye into the ruins, leaving Banlan and entering Xingyuan.
Greatly shocked!
Originally, they still couldn't figure out why the Zerg Mother was so powerful, why did she obey the orders of a mere human, but after leaving Banlan, they realized that this human could do what ordinary people couldn't.
It was obviously the temptation to leave Banlan that made the insect mother choose to follow him.
If Yi were in the position of the insect mother, he would probably not be able to resist such a temptation. What's the point of betraying the two insect blood tribes? Anyway, he would not go back in the future. Leaving Banlan still has the hope of being promoted to the Hedao.
With Youdie's instructions, the two insect races did not dare to neglect Lu Ye at all, and stayed here, waiting for him to show up.
"Sir, Youdie Insect Mother invites you to come over." That Yayi said again.
It is obvious that Youdie has seen Lu Ye show up with the help of their vision.
"Lead the way." Lu Ye turned his head and looked around, but did not find any trace of Youdie. This guy should have settled down somewhere.
"Please come this way!" Yayi stretched out her hand to signal, and led the way with Kuzhi.
While on the road, Lu Ye took out his waist card and sent a message to Ziying.
Soon he got his reply: "You came out? I came to find you."
Ziying was obviously not nearby, and from what she said, it seemed that she had something to discuss with Lu Ye.
After a while, under the leadership of Yayi and Kuzhi, Lu Ye entered the interior of a dead star.
I don't know if Youdie has any special hobbies. The place where she settled is still the core of this dead star. It seems that she wants to build it into a new insect nest.
Lu Ye stepped in, and Youdie greeted him happily: "Brother Ye, you are here?"
Yayi and Kuzhi were stunned, looked at each other, and then lowered their heads.
It was the first time for them to hear Youdie call Lu Ye like this, and they all felt incredible.
"How is it?" Lu Ye asked, turning his head to look around. It was still a short time, and there was no trace of an insect nest here for the time being. It was just a simple empty area, and Youdie's body was placed in the deepest part.
"It's better than being in the colorful world." Youdie was obviously in a good mood. Last time, she was too cautious and only explored the way with her soul. This time, she brought her physical body out as well, and finally she could try to advance to the Hedao realm.
As she spoke, she raised a jade slip in her hand: "Brother Ye, what is the shortcut you mentioned before? Why is it not recorded here?"
"You don't need to know." Lu Ye was too lazy to pay attention to her.
He recorded the shortcut method to advance to the Hedao realm in the jade slip given to Ziying, because he believed in Ziying's character and would never do something that would hurt the world.
But he would not tell Youdie this method.
No matter how well-behaved Youdie was in front of him, she was a worm mother after all. If there was no opportunity, it would be fine. If there was an opportunity, she would definitely not miss it and would definitely use the shortcut method to advance.
And the so-called shortcut was to invade the starry sky!
Once you can act as the mastermind and erode a certain starry sky, when the entire starry sky is broken, the mastermind can obtain the reward of Xingyuan, which can also be said to be another kind of Xingyuan blessing. Receiving this kind of reward is of great help to the promotion to the Hedao.
This was also Yin Luo's plan at the beginning. Those monks gathered near the Xingyuan Gate were all considered as her soldiers.
If she can succeed in eroding and destroying the starry sky, she will have a great chance of being promoted to the Hedao realm.
Unfortunately, after being lectured by Lu Ye, Yin Luo is no longer interested in eroding the starry sky. She has become the secret guardian of the starry sky.
