Exploring Dao Charms

In the world of Bo Yue's command, on an island in the sea, Li Shiwei is practicing her newly acquired power.

This was the power she suddenly realized fifteen years ago, a Daoist rhythm that arose from her enlightenment, its origin unknown.

But I learned it without even realizing it, and... I'm very strong at it.

It's ridiculously strong.

She can cut off everything.

Yes, it's 'everything', including world barriers and all sorts of Law Treasure.

Previously, Uncle Bo Yue was curious about the limits of this Daoist rhyme, so he took out some sixth-grade Law Treasure to try it out, and they were directly severed.

He even condensed his own Dharma body and let Li Shiwei try it. In the end, it was like a hot knife cutting through snow, and he swept past her in one stroke. Even a fifth-grade Dharma body couldn't stop him.

Of course, cutting it open is useless; for a fifth-rank official, such a wound is no different from having none.

However... a seventh-grade attack can cut through a fifth-grade Dharma body, which is already terrifying.

It's just a bit difficult to control; the damage range is almost impossible to manipulate, and it can't be turned off.

Bo Yue's assessment of this was. "Perhaps it's because I haven't practiced enough. Practice makes perfect, and I'll get better with more practice."

So, for fifteen years, Li Shiwei practiced constantly.

Without rest, day and night, they relentlessly bombarded the enemy, practicing how to control this power.

She divided her time into two parts: one for thinking and one for practice.

A day has twelve two- Chen: six for thinking, Chen for practicing, and nothing else.

She neither ate, slept, nor entertained herself, relying on her seventh-grade longevity ability to work beyond her capacity, wanting to master this Daoist principle as soon as possible.

Thus, this world is the result of her training.

The scene was devastated, with cut marks everywhere.

Li Qi descended to Li Shiwei's side.

"... The human heart is like the Dao, how can it be so restless? Moreover, you don't seem like a person with deep killing intent, so why do you master such a powerful Daoist charm?" Li Qi asked with some curiosity.

Generally speaking, the Divine Ability Technique Method that a person develops on their Dao Path are essentially closely related to that person's own nature.

Take Li Qi for example. Whether it's the deduction plans he once mastered, his expertise in information flow analysis, or even his current ability to impersonate Heaven's Will and control cause and effect, their essence is all closely related to Li Qi himself. As long as you see his methods, you will suddenly realize. "Oh! No wonder Li Qi has this ability."

Shen Shuibi was the same; her Technique Method was pure and simple, without any fancy tricks, and it was exactly as written in the textbook, which also suited her personality.

Bo Yue, Yan Ke, Zhong Minglou each have their own style, which is an extension of their own Dao Path and perfectly matches their personality. This is what is meant by "living up to their name." They chose the Dao Path cultivation that best suits them, as well as the Technique Method that best suit their path of Dao Path. Their actions are also entirely based on their own Dao heart.

The Tao is the foundation of humanity; it is the combination of one's worldview and philosophy of life, and no matter what, one cannot escape it.

But...

The Divine Ability that Li Shiwei possessed, as well as her Daoist aura, seemed beyond what she should be able to master.

How immense must one's killing intent be to develop such Divine Ability? And that wisp of Daoist charm...

At this moment, Li Shiwei spoke. She looked at Li Qi, her expression slightly flustered, but she quickly regained her composure and, with a hint of joy, moved closer to Li Qi: "Father, look, I'm much better than before, aren't I?"

"Indeed impressive. You want to become stronger, so you increased your killing power?" Li Qi glanced at Li Shiwei.

True Knowledge Dao Charm was fully activated, it completely saw through Li Shiwei.

Li Qi could see clearly her cultivation path, the foundation of her Cultivation Method, the composition of her inner world, the four dimensions, and even that wisp of Daoist charm.

Especially mindset and the essence of Tao.

Li Qi suddenly realized that he had mastered the same methods as a third-rank person when facing a seventh-rank person.

True Knowledge Dao Charm could directly scan the other person's thought process and, through subtle fluctuations, determine what that person was thinking.

This is a bit difficult. Li Qi needs to concentrate to find patterns in the chaotic fluctuations, compare them with his own way of thinking, and then analyze her thoughts through the commonalities.

Fortunately, this is what Li Qi does, and he is very skilled at analyzing and processing data.

Therefore, he can see Li Shiwei's current mood, and even the scenes she is imagining in her mind.

Excitement, shyness, fear, and a touch of pride, along with a desire for recognition.

She was now fantasizing, imagining Li Qi praising her, recalling her father's kind face in the past, how Li Qi would always praise her when she learned something new.

She was very proud of the Divine Ability she had mastered, but she really didn't know where her Daoist aura came from.

Unfortunately, Li Qi knew this.

Through his enhanced true knowledge, Li Qi clearly saw the death constantly emanating from her Daoist aura.

That is indiscriminate killing of everything, a harvest that treats all living beings equally.

Destroy everything, kill everything; under this great path, all things perish.

There is only one lineage in the Upper Heaven that possesses this aura.

The Demonic Path, the lineage of the Death Demon.

"You've fallen into demonic possession?" Li Qi placed a hand on Li Shiwei.

He wanted to double-check.

Even though True Knowledge Dao Charm had already told him the result and that there was no sign of demonic cultivation in Li Shiwei's inner world, just seeing this Dao Yun made his heart skip a beat.

He placed his hand on Li Shiwei's body and poured in a wisp of energy, which circulated along Li Shiwei's body and inner world, conducting a thorough survey.

After confirming several times that she had no demonic cultivation, he stared at her glasses and looked at his daughter seriously.

Li Qi rarely showed this expression, so Li Shiwei was startled.

The imagined scene of praise vanished from her mind, and she immediately began to wonder if she had done something wrong. At the same time, she said tremblingly, "No... no, why does Father ask that?"

Li Qi looked at the sudden shift in her thoughts and feelings, and suddenly sighed.

Sometimes, being able to see into other people's hearts isn't a good thing.

He originally thought he could be ruthless enough to thoroughly investigate the origin of this wisp of Daoist charm, but now he couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh.

After all, they are one's own flesh and blood.

So he softened his tone. "It's nothing, relax. It's just that your Daoist aura is a bit strange."

"This is something I came up with in a sudden enlightenment. Is there a problem?" Li Shiwei said, stretching out her hand and materializing the wisp of Daoist charm in her palm.

Daoist essence has no physical form, but it can still manifest, and generally it will take on different forms.

It was a wisp of black energy, like a deep, desolate void.

Daoist essence has no physical form; it is generally carried on some medium, such as qi, Law Treasure, or even a person.

For example, Li Qi himself was True Knowledge Dao Charm.

The Daoist aura emanating from Li Shiwei was carried on a wisp of ordinary energy, with a faint, emanating power of devouring within it.

However, the difference is that the Void Returns to Nothingness is an unconscious devouring, while this wisp of Daoist charm is an active and greedy devouring. However, its power is too small to truly devour anything, but it can use this power to cut through almost all matter.

I don't know if it's possible to cut through divine will, but matter certainly can't stop it.

This is a wisp of Daoist charm, similar to that of Guixu.

"Sudden enlightenment... How did you achieve that sudden enlightenment?" Li Qi asked.

Li Shiwei swallowed hard, feeling a little nervous.

She was somewhat at a loss; her father seemed... to be hostile towards this wisp of Daoist charm.

However, she really liked this Daoist charm. It was because of this that she had the opportunity to break through to the sixth rank, and a sixth rank with great killing power at that. Only in this way could she help them and gain a foothold in this dangerous outer realm.

Establishing a foothold is Li Shiwei's biggest goal right now. She needs to have enough ability to survive in this endless outer realm, instead of just relying on her parents' legacy.

However, while she was very talented, her talent wasn't extraordinary, especially compared to her parents...

She may never catch up with her parents.

Hundreds of years ago, she had already accepted her fate, recognized the gap between herself and her parents, and decided to cultivate herself diligently and venture out again after a long time.

But more than a decade ago, after she obtained this wisp of Daoist essence, she realized that this might be her opportunity, a chance to achieve her goal.

Perhaps we could try to persuade my father?

"Father..." she opened her mouth—

"Alright, that's enough, I understand." Li Qi took a deep breath.

He had already realized that having the ability to read minds of low-level beings made communication much easier. Even the most subtle psychological fluctuations of Li Shiwei were clearly detected by the enhanced True Knowledge Dao Charm.

"It's always best to be cautious about things that suddenly fall from the sky. Stay calm and guard your mind. I'll extract this wisp of Daoist essence and have it appraised by a powerful expert. If there's nothing wrong, you can continue using it. If there's something wrong, I'll destroy it," Li Qi said, frowning.

Li Shiwei hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

But Li Qi was not prepared to discuss it.

Now he's allergic to the sight of magic.

Ever since he learned that powerful beings could constantly reset reality, he had been filled with lingering fear.

Without any memory, how many times did I start over? And how many times did I successfully resist?

Or ask it another way—

How many times has he given in?

Not daring to ask these questions, Li Qi at this moment simply used the same move that Zhu Fengdan had once used on him.

Extract the Daoist essence from the target's body.

Li Shiwei felt as if all the strength in her body was being stripped away.

With abilities far beyond her comprehension, Li Qi forcefully extracted the Daoist essence!

As the Daoist aura dissipated, Li Shiwei collapsed to the ground, drenched in cold sweat and shivering uncontrollably.

A sense of weakness enveloped her. Without the power of the Daoist aura, she realized how weak she actually was, and how much the Daoist aura had enhanced her.

Looking at her, Li Qi was reminded of how he had looked when he first sealed away the true knowledge.

At that time, Li Qi was in an even worse state than Li Shiwei. He only managed to get through that period thanks to Shen Shuibi's support.

Once you get used to the presence of Daoist principles, you'll find yourself incredibly weak when you break free from them.

For those born with Innate Dao Rhyme, one of the essential lessons is to get used to the absence of Daoist aura, otherwise they are easily targeted.

Of course, Li Qi himself did not have Innate Dao Rhyme, and Zhu Fengdan did not care about this, so he learned them later.

But for relatively normal young masters like Bo Yue from Wushen Mountain, it wouldn't matter much even if he didn't have the Demon Seed; at most, he'd just have the ability to rewind time.

But... he really is her biological son, even the way he grits his teeth is so similar.

So Li Qi squatted down and patted Li Shiwei's head. "Rest for a bit, then stand up, and I'll teach you how to cultivate."

Li Shiwei suddenly raised her head.

Father... taught her?

It should be noted that, apart from when she was a child, she hadn't spent much time with Li Qi, and in recent centuries they hadn't had any contact at all.

She had always wanted to catch up with her parents.

Now, Li Shiwei felt much better, her weakness had subsided, and she immediately stood up and nodded. "Mm!"

"We started from the basics, and you have a very solid foundation. However, your later development has become a bit unorthodox. Yu'er taught very well, but her approach is not suitable for you. She is a moon spirit, but you only have a part of it."

"Look, this is the composition of your inner world. First, we need to deal with the balance problem..." Li Qi waved his hand, and a light screen opened, which marked the proportion of Li Shiwei's inner world components, with the numbers accurate to four decimal places.

After being enhanced, the new True Knowledge Dao Charm possesses extraordinary probing abilities, allowing Li Qi to easily formulate the most suitable plan for Li Shiwei based on the situation.

To be honest, Li Shiwei herself might not understand her own Dao Path and cultivation as well as Li Qi at this moment.

Bo Yue was standing nearby, glanced at the father and daughter.

Hmm... Let these two take a vacation; I should deal with things outside first.

Li Qi successfully contacted Micro-Birds. Although he said there was nothing else going on on his end, he still had to handle some initial and final matters and report the specific situation.

It's only been two months, so let's leave it at that.

Bo Yue continued to work diligently. The theater commander had no holidays or rest, and had to process a large amount of information anytime and anywhere, unlike the commander-in-chief who could apply for leave.

Meanwhile, Li Qi began to give Li Shiwei special training day after day.

My daughter was very happy about this, and she was also very enthusiastic about training.

Li Qi, unlike Zhu Fengdan, devised a training plan for Li Shiwei that incorporated all of Li Qi's understanding. Moreover, he would never interfere with her Dao Path, but would only be responsible for her specific cultivation, training in Divine Ability and Technique Method.

During this period, Li Qi also took time to study that wisp of Daoist charm.

However, no matter how much he researched, he didn't come up with any results.

But he knew another expert who studied this.

Yun Fang, the great shaman who once took away Li Qi's Heavenly Demonic Dao Charm.

That's the one who transformed his disciple into a demonic thought and hid it deep within his heart.

Li Qi planned to visit Li Shiwei after her instruction ended, and hand over this wisp of Daoist essence for her to study.

It should be useful.

People often post comments, reviews, and likes when they have free time; supposedly, this can increase their visibility beyond their immediate circle.
