Stare, a quiet stare! That was exactly what he lacked!
Lou Xiaoyi's personality was actually very lively. He had been trying to balance his personality, trying to be more stable, more ruthless, more like a Swordsman, and not a frivolous person.
A Swordsman's hand had to be steady, and his heart had to be even steadier!
But because of his personality, he felt that he had yet to achieve this in battle, especially when he was using the Slaughter Dao. His spirit and aura were often not in perfect harmony. He didn't know what he was missing.
The Slaughter Dao was easy to learn but hard to master. This was the difference between an expert and an ordinary person. Although Lou Xiaoyi was exceptionally outstanding in other aspects, he was a little weak when it came to the Swordsman's most fundamental Slaughter Dao. It was rare for him to be able to control his opponent's heart with a single strike. Most of the time, the Slaughter Sword Will would only be unleashed after the sword had entered the opponent's body. This meant that he had only unleashed half of the Slaughter Dao's power.
He had been looking for a solution all this time. Now that he had obtained the Slaughter Shard, he gradually found a way to solve this problem after more than ten years of understanding.
The source of the method was very funny. It was actually inspired by the Buddhist Dao Realm. It was the Half Avatar, Death Avatar! Ye Hang and Hongguang's secret arts. These two secret arts had a unique characteristic. They used merits to draw the opponent's portrait. The method was different, and the focus was different. However, the mechanism and purpose were the same. It was to first create the avatar and then destroy the avatar. It was a very clever way to use the Dao Realm.
Although he was very familiar with merits, he wasn't a Buddhist. Understanding it didn't mean that he could easily unleash these secret arts of Buddhism. This involved a lot of basic knowledge, and he couldn't change his path and become a Buddhist just because of this!
But he had his own ideas. For example, what if he used the Slaughter Shard to draw the opponent's portrait? Just like what the Nameless Travelogue said, a stare from the depths of the soul!
What would happen when this stare was materialized? This was what he had been trying to solve along the way!
Drawing the Slaughter Dao didn't need to care about the details of the opponent's body, appearance, eyebrows, and beard. The key was the person's spirit! It was a kind of soul duplication. Only in this way could the opponent tremble, lose control, and cause the opponent's strength to weaken and even collapse!
This should be the true Great Dao of Slaughter!
As the saying goes, it's hard to draw a tiger's skin, but difficult to draw its bones. You may know a person's face, but not their heart. To draw a person's spirit in the [Death's Gaze] required a long time, dedication, and countless attempts. But at the very least, he had a new direction!
The worst thing about cultivation was to have no direction!
He had even thought of a name for it. In his swordsmanship system, it belonged to the Great Dao of Slaughter. It would be called: The Flirtatious Eyes!
It sounded a little hipster, but it didn't matter. He liked such a coquettish name.
Lou Xiaoyi realized that he was now in a very good state. He had a direction for his cultivation and was advancing from the seven-inch infant to the nine-inch infant. He had a direction for his Dao Realm. The so-called gaze could start from all things, and it didn't have to be living things. He also had a clue about the problem that he had been trying to solve for hundreds of years. Therefore, he was very happy!
If you're happy, you're in a good state! If he was in a good state, he would be able to come up with new ideas, and his efficiency would be high! With high efficiency, he could save time. With ample time, he could do whatever he wanted to do as he pleased.
He wasn't just a traveler in a hurry!
His days returned to the state he was in when he first became an infant. He walked and stopped, looking at the scenery along the way. If there were any astronomical phenomena that interested him, he would go in and take a look. He would harvest some spiritual vigor to enrich his spirit and cultivation.
In fact, this was the state that a cultivator should be in. He shouldn't spend his days in endless planning and scheming. He shouldn't be worried, worried, and anxious.
This was how the world was. When he wanted to continue his cultivation journey happily, he didn't know where these people came from, and they started to disturb him endlessly.
Of course, they also helped him to practice the Death Stare – The Flirtatious Eyes! This skill was not easy to practice. It had been almost ten years since he got the Slaughter Fragment, and he still didn't have a clue.
At the same time, the path became clearer as he got closer to Zhou Xian.
… He met a very strange team. It was the Bone Spirit team!
Bone Spirit, to put it bluntly, was the remains of the void beast! There were countless void beasts in the universe. When they died in battle, their remains, including their bones, would be swallowed by their opponents, or destroyed by humans. Just like a violent player like Lou Xiaoyi.
However, a large number of them died of natural causes. Even if the void beasts were the descendants of the void beasts in the universe, they would also die of old age and illness. They couldn't avoid the cycle of heaven. When these void beasts died, they often had their own premonition. They knew that their time was up, and they knew that there was no way to save them.
Just like the elephants in the mortal world, when the old elephants knew that their time of death was up, they would go to a secret, ancient place. Just like their ancestors, they would quietly wait for death. In the end, they would leave behind a ground of bones and tusks. This was the nature of the beast.
Under the premise that the void beasts died of natural causes, there were also such places. However, because the universe was too big, there were also countless places like this. However, humans didn't pay much attention to this matter, and there was no need to pay attention to it. After the void beasts died, they didn't have anything valuable, and humans would rather have their tusks.
Such places were usually special celestial phenomena in the nearby universes. It was difficult for humans to understand why such places were chosen, and they didn't need to understand it. It was just like how the void beasts didn't understand human cultivators' behavior of digging holes, digging holes, and setting traps before they died.
What Lou Xiaoyi was passing through now was such a celestial phenomenon. It was shaped like a whirlpool, and there seemed to be a deep hole in the middle. It hadn't reached the level of a black hole, so the attraction wasn't fatal. Even a Yuanying cultivator like Lou Xiaoyi could escape from it easily.
He didn't know that this relatively ordinary celestial phenomenon in the void of the universe was the burial ground of the void beasts, and there wasn't a ground of bones to prove this point. Therefore, he still foolishly barged in and tried to collect some Spiritium. Based on his experience in the universe, such a celestial phenomenon would definitely have more Spiritium than the real void outside.
However, to his surprise, there wasn't even a trace of Spiritium here. This made him, an experienced traveler in the universe, puzzled. It wasn't until he saw a troop of Bone Spirits slowly flying towards this place that he suddenly realized what kind of existence this place was. Even Spiritium couldn't be generated!
In the mortal world, the burial ground of the elephant was sacred. Other than those who were lawless and had no religion, even hunters who made a living by hunting wouldn't disturb it, let alone pick it up. Similarly, the resting place of the void beasts was equally sacred.
As a cultivator with a bottom line, mutual respect was the most basic quality. Lou Xiaoyi was no exception!
