Chapter 91: The Beginning of Immortal Ascension
His Dao Foundation’s second ability was named Power of the Realm. It applied to Wei Yuan only. Upon activation, attacking Wei Yuan with a Dao spell was akin to attacking a boundless expanse of earth. The attack was dispersed across the vast heaven and earth, dramatically diminishing the force that ultimately landed on Wei Yuan. The extent of the dispersion depended on how much of the world he could manifest.
Right now, Wei Yuan could only control a hundred zhang of land or so. It was enough to decrease the strength of an ordinary Dao Foundation stage cultivator’s Dao spell by fifty percent, an Avatar’s by ten percent, and a True Lord’s by… that last bit was entirely overthinking on his part.
The Power of the Realm was far more effective against Dao spells than direct weapon attacks. Therefore, the best way to injure Wei Yuan was to hit him with sabers, axes, and more. Worst case scenario, arrows would work as well. However, any mystic artifact arrow imbued with Dao energy would experience a significant decrease in potency.
Finally, Wei Yuan could summon his jade hill and use it to attack his enemies. Although the jade hill was only a little over a zhang tall, it was unusually tough and weighed like ten thousand stones. It was like a hill of pure metal.
His jade hill was basically unstoppable among Dao Foundation stage cultivators. Practically no one could take a blow head on. Unfortunately, controlling the hill was not easy. With his current Dao power, he could only alter its course slightly. He could not yet use it to attack his enemies at will either.
For now, these were the only abilities Wei Yuan had discovered. The Great Realm was one of a kind; so unique that nothing was even remotely comparable to it. He could only draw inspiration from mountain and boulder-type Dao Foundations and work from there. New wonders might emerge after the speck of vitality in the jade hill had sprouted as well.
Having spent a whole day researching his Dao Foundation, Wei Yuan had long depleted both his Dao energy and his primordial spirit. However, there was still some time before they reached the Palace of Absolute Beginning, so he decided to take stock of the spoils of this expedition.
The most valuable loot he had obtained from this venture was, in fact, not the young chieftain’s head. Instead, it was the jade bowl that was filled with water. No matter where the bowl was, it could always produce an endless stream of clean water. It was basically an inexhaustible spring. The water it produced wasn’t mundane water either. It was spirit water with a bit of vitality in it. Plants nourished with this water would grow several times faster than usual. An injured human who drank the water would recover several times faster as well.
In the Liao realm, the jade bowl was definitely a godlike artifact. It could create an oasis in a desert and sustain the daily needs of several thousand troops.
