Aside from supernatural abilities and the special circumstances of individual martial artists, what is the strongest method used by martial artists in the Mountain and Sea series?
If you interview ten mountains and seas, all ten mountains and seas will tell you that it must be the blessing of "Tao".
Not everyone is a genius, nor does everyone have endless resources to squander. Therefore, for a normal martial artist, "Dao" is the foundation of their existence.
Undoubtedly, this is also the method he spends the most time cultivating.
"Tao" is the foundation and also the future.
To see how far and how high a martial artist from the Mountain and Sea Realm can go, one can get a glimpse of their potential by examining their "Dao".
Although Shen Qian has not yet officially set foot in the Mountain and Sea realm, his contact, combat, and exchanges with Mountain and Sea martial artists have given him a considerable understanding of the Mountain and Sea realm.
Wu Yi and Qin Xiaoke are both geniuses among geniuses, and their "path" is extraordinary.
Wu Yi follows the relatively unpopular path of beast taming among humans. After all, for martial artists, faith in themselves is far more important than anything else, and ordinary people would hardly place their hopes for becoming stronger on demonic beasts.
But being unpopular doesn't mean it's not strong.
According to the division of Heaven, Earth, and Man, the Beast Taming Path belongs to the Human Path, but it is different from the Human Path. Its combat power is so terrifying that it can even rival the Chasing Sun Mountain and Sea Path of Heaven.
At this moment, when the illusory image of the Great Dao was projected behind Wu Yi, the hundred beasts on it roared in response. Then, upon closer inspection, it was clear that more than a dozen beast patterns among them lit up and then projected streams of light that flowed into Wu Yi's body.
When it comes to understanding the "Tao," almost no one in the world can compare to someone who has repeatedly leaped across the sea of Tao and walked on countless paths of the "Tao."
He knew the special nature of the "Way of a Hundred Beasts".
A beast spirit represents the primordial spirit of a powerful demon beast. The so-called primordial spirit is analogous to the spiritual core of a human martial artist, and it can only be possessed by demon beasts at the Mountain and Sea Realm or above.
Although they appear to be ordinary beasts, their bloodlines are nothing compared to legendary beasts like the "Red-Eyed One," which is listed in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
But... those were the primordial spirits of thirteen mountain and sea monsters!
These primordial spirits were absorbed into the "Dao" by Wu Yi using special means. When Wu Yi summoned the projection of the Great Dao, he could use these beast spirits to enhance his own power.
Although such increases are usually discounted, generally only two to three tenths of the monster's strength in its previous life, when their numbers accumulate to a certain point, they become incredibly terrifying.
The "Path of a Hundred Beasts" can potentially accommodate up to one hundred and eight primordial spirits.
If Wu Yi can walk this path to its end, when the Great Dao descends, his strength will increase by more than tenfold!
This is the real secret behind his combat power surpassing that of ordinary martial artists.
Although Wu Yi wasn't quite that exaggerated at this moment, the amplification from thirteen consecutive demon beast primordial spirits instantly caused his aura to surge dramatically, surpassing the realm of the fourth level of the Mountain and Sea Realm in the blink of an eye, and even approaching the fifth level of the Mountain and Sea Realm!
The people on the stone pillar narrowed their eyes, their expressions becoming somewhat solemn.
"That bastard Wu Yi disappeared without a word for two years, and he's already honed his 'Dao' to this level..."
"Unfortunately, he was still forced to reveal his trump card by Shen Qian."
"The Path of a Hundred Beasts is not a long-term strategy. I might have a higher opinion of him if it were the Path of a Thousand Beasts, but Qin Xiaoke... has grand ambitions!"
Cao Yi, who spoke last, was somewhat disdainful, but when his gaze turned to Qin Xiaoke, a look of amazement appeared on his face.
Everyone had long recognized Qin Xiaoke's "Dao" and naturally understood the meaning behind Cao Yi's words.
The Path of Heaven is widely recognized as the most difficult to traverse, not to mention that Qin Xiaoke has chosen an extraordinary Path of Heaven.
Although it's not yet clear what "path" Qin Xiaoke is following, after all, the path of Heaven is almost impossible to replicate the path of predecessors.
Each path to the heavens is elusive and untraceable, a narrow bridge in itself.
Its greatest advantage is that once it succeeds, one is destined to become a king or nobleman.
As for niche paths like "Hundred Beasts," which are still explored by some, even if one reaches the end, the most likely outcome is that one will only achieve a top-tier Mountain and Sea title.
The two are not comparable.
However, the Path of Heaven has always been extremely perilous, and countless people have perished. Therefore, even though the Mountain and Sea Warriors are all geniuses who think highly of themselves, the number of people who walk the Path of Heaven is still the smallest.
Usually, the safest choice is to go to a place where you can get close to kings and nobles and where there are precedents to follow.
Although Qin Xiaoke's Dao cannot be defined, the fact that it has only two layers of Dao patterns but is three zhang high is enough to illustrate its level.
After Qin Xiaoke summoned the projection of the Great Dao, starlight showered down, bathing her in it, making her seem like an ethereal fairy. At the same time, the space also became illusory.
She moved slightly, her figure both vague and clear, and then she appeared out of thin air more than ten meters away.
In just a few blinks of an eye, she was already inches away from Chen Qian. Her ever-present aura made it impossible to predict where her sword light would come from.
"space!"
"This is a Dao related to 'space'!"
The expressions of everyone below changed, which indirectly confirmed their suspicions.
When it comes to time and space, life and death, these are indisputable paths to enlightenment.
Don't be fooled by Qin Xiaoke's seemingly simple methods; only those in the thick of it will understand how unbearable it is to have your opponent's movements completely pinpointed.
Faced with the imposing Wu Yi and the unpredictable Qin Xiaoke, how will Shen Qian respond?
Cao Yi narrowed his eyes and suddenly spoke slowly, "I bet fifty million that Shen Qian can last ten moves. Anyone willing to take the bet?"
"One hundred million, five moves."
