It was already late at night, and An 'an had already been coaxed to sleep. She was probably in a beautiful dream, smacking her lips from time to time.
Jiang Wang sat cross-legged with his palms facing the sky.
His mind sank into the Tong Tian Palace. The complicated star chart formed by his Dao Energy shone at the top.
An unknown black candle hung in the center, and the Earth Dragon formed by the Dao Meridian True Spirit swam slowly around the candle.
Jiang Wang was not in a hurry, waiting for the right time.
Originally, he had chosen the Heavenly Cycle Stars Formation as the foundation. He estimated that it would take half a year to lay the foundation.
However, he had gained a lot since he opened his meridians.
First, he had the nine moves of the Eastern Purple Qi Sword Art to adjust his Qi and blood, allowing his body to withstand more meridian breakthroughs. Next, he cultivated the Four Spirits Body Tempering Art, which greatly increased the number of meridian breakthroughs.
Although it was only the Earth Dragon's True Spirit, the amount of Dao Energy it absorbed was not small. Then, he had the Essence Control Art taught by Dong Ah to move his Dao Energy, allowing him to arrange the formation flawlessly.
Finally, after the battle with Xiong Wen, his Dao Heart improved greatly. After his Dao Energy skyrocketed, it was close to a qualitative change.
It was midnight.
Midnight was the beginning of a day, the starting point.
Jiang Wang silently used the Essence Control Art to move the last round Dao Energy into the star chart, which happened to be the position of the Moon Star.
It started from the Sun Star and ended at the Moon Star. Then, the three walls shook, and the 28 constellations lit up. The entire Heavenly Cycle Stars Formation shone brightly, illuminating the entire Tong Tian Palace.
At this moment, Jiang Wang felt as if his mind had gone blind.
When he regained his senses, a mysterious and dreamy whirlpool appeared in the Tong Tian Palace. It spun slowly, with specks of starlight floating.
Rather than calling it a whirlpool, it was more like a spinning galaxy. At the moment of its birth, nine Dao Energy balls jumped out of the galaxy whirlpool.
When the whirlpool was formed, the Dao Energy was born.
Jiang Wang knew that the foundation had been laid. From now on, he had truly entered the Transcendental Realm and stepped into the Ninth Grade Meridian Wandering Realm.
On the 15th of June, he opened his meridians in front of the Anatta Temple. On the 16th of October, he laid the foundation at home in the Pegasus Alley, using four months.
At the moment, he was still unable to fully understand the foundational effects of the Heavenly Cycle Stars Formation and the ordinary Origin Returning Formation.
However, he noticed that at this moment, the inconspicuous Earth Dragon abandoned the black candle and began to swim towards the stars. He swam to the front of the spinning star, and then suddenly jumped with all his might!
It passed through the star jades, and its body seemed to be covered with a bit of starlight, faintly becoming more lively.
Dao Vein True Spirit could be strengthened after passing through the Dao Vortex. This was also one of the reasons why people did not judge a cultivator's future based on their innate bone structure.
But that was a long process that accumulated over a long period of time. Obviously, there wouldn't be such a clear and visible change.
Perhaps this was one of the outstanding aspects of the Heavenly Cycle Stars Formation?
Jiang Wang didn't know, but he was looking forward to more changes.
After the Earth Dragon passed through the star vortex, it slowly swam back to Black Candle. It seemed to be a little tired, so it wrapped itself around Black Candle and stopped moving.
Tonight, Jiang Wang was mesmerized by the beautiful spectacle in Tongtian Palace.
He came to himself and found that the smacking of lips had stopped.
He heard little An 'an mumbled in a daze, "Brother, I think I saw stars. So many stars. "
Jiang Wang was silent for a while. He knew that An 'an wasn't awake.
Thus, he gently got up and gently tucked her in. Then, he quietly walked to the courtyard.
He wanted to try out the cultivation of Dao techniques to respond to the accumulation of armchair strategizing in the Dao Academy.
Starlight didn't ask passersby.
Jiang Wang had always been the kind of person who would work harder if he could. If the heavens didn't redeem people, they would redeem themselves.
...
In the Dao Academy's Dao technique system, Dao techniques were divided into four grades and twelve grades.
Fourth Grade Dao techniques were the foundation of the Dao technique system. Low-grade Fourth Grade Dao techniques were mainly reflected in enhancing the user's state.
For example, the Five Elements Dao techniques were: Adhering Flame, Sharpness, Solidity, Clarity, and Vitality.
Adhering Flame used fire elemental energy to attach to objects. Sharpness used metal elemental energy to strengthen weapons. Solidity used earth elemental energy to strengthen the body's defense. Clarity used water elemental energy to clear the mind and eyes. Vitality used wood elemental energy to drive away exhaustion and vitality.
There might be slight differences in the specific Dao techniques of each academy, but the general principle was the same. The orthodoxies passed down from the Three Great Dao Sects' Sacred Grounds were all the same.
In theory, a ninth-grade Meridian Wandering Realm cultivator could use all Fourth Grade Dao techniques. However, the specifics were different for each individual. Some people might find it difficult to grasp even mid-grade Fourth Grade Dao techniques. Some people specialized in metal elemental Dao techniques, while others specialized in water elemental Dao techniques.
The academy's instructors often emphasized one point: Every cultivator must clearly recognize what they were good at. Whether it was to play to their strengths or to make up for their shortcomings, they must quickly form their own combat system.
Jiang Wang first tried Adhering Flame. He had already memorized the basic seals and now had nine Dao Energy for him to squander.
The seals that he had practiced countless times were completed in two breaths. He held the sword in his left hand and pressed the fingers of his right hand together. Then, he drew across the blade.
Flames ignited!
The long sword was held horizontally in the night sky. The flames burned under the moonlight.
He didn't use any tools.
This was extraordinary power. This was Dao techniques!
Jiang Wang suddenly had the urge to cry. He wanted to go back to the past and tell his younger self that he could do it, he could do it.
He also wanted to tell his sickly father that he could do it, he could do it.
Jiang Wang unsheathed his long sword and used the Eastern Purple Qi Sword Technique to extinguish the flames.
Then, he used Sharpness, Solidity … Jiang Wang wanted to try out all the basic Dao techniques he knew one by one. He didn't stop until his Dao Energy was exhausted.
Jiang Wang discovered that the speed at which he mastered the basic Dao techniques of different elements was the same. There was no difference. To put it in words, he was good at all of them.
Whether it was the water element or the fire element, it was the same.
However, there was a limit to one's strength. Of course, he couldn't learn all the Dao techniques.
Dean Dong A had said more than once that cultivation was the foundation of the Great Dao. Dao techniques were only the defense of the Great Dao. Even if there were geniuses who thought they had endless energy, they should put more effort into the foundation of the Great Dao.
Jiang Wang planned to wait until he had accumulated some Dao Energy before trying out other Dao techniques, such as wind element Dao techniques or thunder element Dao techniques. However, the most basic thunder element Dao techniques were only second-class Dao techniques. If there was nothing special about them, he would have to wait until he reached the Seventh Realm of Reaching Heaven to master them.
Although the Dao techniques of the five elements showed the same talent, Jiang Wang was more inclined to the fire element Dao techniques and the wood element Dao techniques.
The latter was because his master, Dong A, was good at the wood element Dao techniques. The former was because … of the wonderful battle outside the Huanzhen Temple, because of the man who was as fierce and dazzling as the sun.
Although Zuo Guanglie didn't even know his name. He had learned a lot from Zuo Guanglie and gained a lot. Therefore, he had a strong affection for the fire element.
It was foreseeable that no matter which Dao technique he chose, there would be countless changes in his battle choices. The increase in his battle strength would be more than double.
This was undoubtedly good news for the upcoming mission to eliminate the Ferocious Beasts.
By the time Jiang Wang decided on the direction of Dao techniques, the sky was already slightly bright.
Facing the morning light, Jiang Wang completed his first Unblocking Meridians cultivation in the courtyard. He felt that the True Spirit Earth Dragon seemed to be much more relaxed when it breathed in and out Dao Energy.
After two Unblocking Meridians in a row, his current body felt slightly tired. So he took a break.
He washed up, folded his bed, and went out to buy breakfast for Jiang Anan.
The early risers were pushing their carts and hawking their wares. Tofu pudding was in a pot, and hot oil cakes were rising in spirals.
The smoke and fire of the human world, and the Azure Cloud Ladder in the sky.
