Master of Strange Dao

"We can no longer catch up with him; the Dragon Clan has taken him away.

If we force our way in now, it would be a direct provocation.

It's not worth it for that person.

The bigger picture is more important, let's leave this place."

Several bald men on the deck were a bit unwilling, but they indeed had no other options.

The Dragon Clan's territory is vast, without a definite border.

Usually, people pass through without trouble, and there's nothing wrong with that as long as peace is maintained.

But if one encounters these characters and still insists on charging in, the nature of it changes.

In the deep sea, who would be crazy enough to provoke the Dragon Clan so directly, as if slapping their face?

If angered, the Dragon Clan would certainly dare to drown them all in the deep sea without hesitation.

For now, at least, it remains somewhat dignified, without direct conflict.

After the large ship retreated several thousand miles, inside the cabin, a space had been vastly expanded.

The tattooed bald man stood before the magic platform, chanting ancient incantations, and tossed out a skull.

From within the skull, black energy continuously surged out, gathering into a shapeless monster.

And as his incantations continued, the dangerous aura of this shapeless monster grew stronger and stronger.

"Previously, we captured you because you attacked our treasured ship, and without it, at least half of the people here won't be able to leave the deep sea alive.

Now I'm letting you go, if you want to go after that person, then go.

If you still don't know what's good for you, the power that can make you stronger can also completely obliterate you."

Following the tattooed bald man's words, the black energy tumbled, flying out of the treasure ship from an exit, continuing to pursue Xi Yang.

The tattooed bald man walked out of the room and gave an instruction.

"Keep everything as it is, avoid the Dragon Clan's territory."

...

On the South Sea Island, today's research has been completely suspended.

All the deans here gathered in a super-enlarged secret chamber for a meeting.

Yang sat there calmly, saying.

"I believe every one of you very clearly understands what this big project we're doing here is truly for.

Our current achievements, if only for the use of major powers, are already sufficient.

The major powers can afford the high construction and maintenance costs.

Because once successfully deployed, the transformation of moonlight and starlight into spiritual energy.

The longer it lasts, the lower the cost actually becomes.

It can even forgo the most difficult and most powerful Great Sun's power entirely.

For the major powers, it's already enough.

The result is only continuing to strengthen the major powers, creating a sect base comparable to a grotto heaven.

Besides the well-established major powers, no one can support the current costs.

If it were only this, our original goal would be impossible to achieve."

After a slight pause from Yang, Chu Ye immediately said.

"Did you call this meeting today just to say these useless words?

You should understand that among us, no one will give up, no one will think now is enough.

What exactly do you want to say?"

Yang glanced at Chu Ye, and said in a deep voice.

"I have already felt the obstruction, some places have already shown signs of getting out of control.

I don't know what influence it has received; my thoughts have already begun to jump towards an unscrupulous Dao cultivator.

Speaking in the tone of a Dao cultivator who only focuses on research and doesn't care about anything else.

I couldn't even notice it the first time.

When I realized it, I knew I had encountered the obstacle mystically among Dao cultivators.

I haven't done any research these days.

I just reviewed my research over the years and only then discovered that I had unconsciously deviated.

I also spent many days observing each one of you, and I'm very sure you have encountered the obstacle too.

You also didn't notice it until someone pointed it out to you.

In this state, we can never achieve the original goal.

This big project here can never be completed."

Yang's gaze was as sharp as a torch, scanning around, looking at everyone.

Some were shocked, some confused, some seemed disbelieving.

They exchanged a glance, but only three people's eyes briefly sparkled with divine light, and their whole demeanor became deep.

Their aura shifted to resemble Yang's current self.

At that moment, they finally believed, they believed even what they couldn't feel.

Dao cultivation has always been more challenging than ordinary cultivation.

Ordinary cultivators need only breakthroughs, mostly focusing on force.

But Dao cultivators base their cultivation on the accumulation of knowledge, scholarship, and insight, making this bottleneck and barrier much harder to break through.

When everyone unknowingly develops obstacles that divert their direction.

Everyone understands that it's not an issue of one or two people.

They have already touched the core goal of this big project.

It's already the most critical moment.

They also understood why Yang first brought up their original goal.

They want to develop a formation with possibly the lowest cost to transform the sun, moon, and star radiance into spiritual energy.

The endless power means that all cultivators could replenish their consumption of spiritual energy, completely cutting off the possibility of the world's decreasing spiritual energy.

The higher pursuit is to draw the power from beyond the world, with transformed spiritual energy far exceeding the consumption of all living beings between heaven and earth.

Ultimately, allowing the entire world to upgrade like the Big Island Cave Heaven where they are currently situated.

Yang surveyed the room, making eye contact with everyone.

"Every profound and earth-shaking transformation comes with calamities. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs N()velFire.net

This is the calamity, and it's also our barrier.

For decades, our progress has slowed for this reason.

My luck was good, I woke up, and my mind has stabilized.

And for all of you, many have accumulated enough research, yet still only entered Dao and have not yet established Dao.

Now is your chance. Whether you can break through, whether you can keep true to your heart unwavering is up to you.

From now, completely seal off the Big Island, and nobody is allowed to send messages out.

Any objections?"

None of the deans had objections, even the dean who had previously leaked messages firmly agreed.

This was the opportunity he had waited for all his life, and now it finally arrived.

Even the Emperor Qian would have to step back for him.

This time, everyone's obstacles were essentially the same, so there was an opportunity to help and learn from each other.

Moreover, this was a rightful act, the great goal couldn't be more righteous.

Missing this opportunity, even if there's another breakthrough chance, it would solely depend on himself.

Yang observed everyone's expressions, revealing a slight smile.

He indeed had good luck; if it wasn't for facing Yu Ziqing, who's akin to an Earth Devil Venerate, intentionally or unintentionally absorbing the power of the Three Calamities.

If Yu Ziqing hadn't cursed him directly, he would never have realized he was becoming more like the former No.3 White Water Egg, let alone breaking his mind barriers.

Even when Yu Ziqing sneered at him with Yin Yang sarcasm, he had a moment of fury, wanting to smash Yu Ziqing's head.

Because his knowledge was high and his accumulation thick, to the point that he couldn't shake it himself.

In such a situation, knowledge barriers and mind barriers are not only the strongest but also the hardest to detect.
