Shen Yuan Ring

It's been a day since the competition ended.

After a day of communication, Ji Daoyi and his four friends, mainly to get to know Wang Dan and also to let Wang Dan get to know them, since they would be comrades-in-arms in the future.

This relaxing day allowed everyone to experience the sense of ease that comes after the competition.

The next day

"It seems it's time to practice my mother's swordsmanship."

Before the selection and assessment, people either wanted to improve their cultivation or didn't have enough time. Now that everything has been settled, that sense of urgency has disappeared.

Now that he's at home resting and recuperating, Ji Daoyi has the perfect opportunity to practice the "Limitless Blade Technique".

The "Limitless Blade Technique" is a high-level Yellow-rank blade technique. When mastered to perfection, it can rival a Xuan-rank Yuan technique.

After reading the introduction to the "Limitless Blade Technique", Ji Daoyi immediately felt that this Yuan Technique was extremely powerful, far surpassing the Seven Star Blade issued by his family. It was not only an offensive technique but also a defensive one.

However, this Yuan technique does not require the use of a Yuan weapon—a sword.

It's more accurate to call it a seal technique than a knife technique.

The Wuji Sword Technique consists of three forms: one defensive, one trapping, and one offensive. Each form is powerful, and mastering it requires exceptional talent and comprehension.

The first move is impeccable. It uses condensed sword imprints to form an array for all-round defense. Unless the difference in strength is too great and the opponent has enough internal energy, it will be difficult for them to break through the defense.

The array formed by the sword imprints can also expand the defensive range and help others defend themselves, but the energy consumption will increase according to the defensive range.

The second move is to draw a circle on the ground as a prison. The knife marks form a circle on the ground as a prison array, creating a cage that prevents the victim from escaping.

Similarly, the larger the area of ​​"drawing a circle on the ground to confine oneself," the more elemental energy is consumed.

The third move, "Hundred Seals Unite as One," severs the body and destroys the spirit, determining life and death with a single strike. A hundred sword seals converge into one, capable of splitting mountains and cleaving seas, possessing boundless power.

"The only difficulty in cultivating this Wuji Sword Technique is condensing sword imprints. The more sword imprints you condense, the stronger the Wuji Sword Technique becomes. It's just a pity that you can only condense a maximum of a hundred sword imprints. If you could condense tens of thousands of sword imprints, how powerful would that be?"

Then Ji Daoyi shook his head again: "If there were that many sword imprints, the Wuji Sword Technique would probably not be a high-level Yellow-rank technique, but a Xuan-rank or Earth-rank Yuan technique."

"Let me see just how difficult it is to make a knife mark."

The first knife mark was successful.

The second knife mark was successful.

The third knife mark was successfully achieved.

"Three were successfully formed so easily, in just a few minutes. Wasn't it said that the knife imprints were the most difficult to condense? Could it be that the earlier knife imprints were easy, and the later ones got harder?"

After half an hour

Ji Daoyi condensed twenty-nine sword imprints, just one short of thirty. When he was condensing the tenth and twentieth sword imprints, he clearly felt that the difficulty of condensing them doubled with every ten additional imprints.

Moreover, the tenth and twentieth knife marks are noticeably larger than the other knife marks.

Soon, it was evening.

"I didn't expect these sword imprints to be so difficult. I only managed to condense forty-nine in a day, and I feel powerless to break through to fifty. It seems I won't be able to condense any more in the short term."

"Fortunately, practicing the Wuji Sword Technique only requires a minimum of ten sword imprints."

Ji Daoyi no longer finds the "Limitless Blade Technique" simple, because he failed when he tried to condense the fiftieth blade seal, and it also made him feel powerless.

At the same time, he was secretly glad that the "Limitless Blade Technique" only required the condensation of a hundred blade imprints; otherwise, he didn't know when he would be able to perfect the technique.

Ji Daoyi awoke from his cultivation.

"Forget it, let's stop cultivating here for today. We'll practice formations tomorrow. Only when we master formations can we form combat power. Anyway, it won't make a difference if we take a day or two."

After one night

"Today is another day full of energy, just the right time to practice the formation chapter of the 'Refining Limitless Blade Technique'."

"The Formation Chapter is its core. The Wuji Sword Technique is able to achieve defense, trapping, and offense in three aspects because the formation connects all the sword imprints."

Ji Daoyi first practiced the first move of the Wuji Sword Technique: Impeccable. He released ten sword imprints, with the tenth imprint as the core and the other nine as auxiliary imprints, forming a yin-yang balance.

"No wonder it's called invincible. As long as the strength doesn't exceed mine by much, this move will make me invincible."

"It's just too energy-consuming. In such a short time, it has consumed nearly 10% of my energy. If it were someone else, it would have consumed at least 30% or 50% of their energy."

"It seems that the more powerful the Yuan Technique, the less likely anyone can cultivate it. Without sufficient Yuan Power, even cultivating a powerful Yuan Technique is useless. No wonder I haven't heard of anyone in the Body Refinement Realm cultivating Xuan-level or higher Yuan Techniques. It turns out it's not that they don't want to cultivate them, but that Huang-level Yuan Techniques are more cost-effective for the Body Refinement Realm."

Ji Daoyi originally planned to practice the combination of ten sword seals first, and then use this as a basis to incorporate the other thirty seals together, forming an impenetrable combination of forty sword seals. At that time, no one in the Body Refinement Realm would be able to break through his defense.

But before he could even put it into practice, cruel reality slapped him hard in the face.

The impenetrable defense formed by just ten sword marks could only sustain him for less than two minutes. If forty sword marks were used together, let alone a minute, he probably wouldn't last even half a minute.

Although the more sword marks there are, the stronger the defense becomes, the more Yuan energy is consumed.

"It seems that I can only practice the techniques of ten sword seals for now, and then add more sword seals after I break through my realm."

"I never thought that I would be troubled by not breaking through the fifty sword marks yesterday, but today I would be troubled by having too many sword marks. The world is indeed cruel."

"I doubt that the person who created this technique would have imagined that future generations would have such troubles."

After a few more hours, Ji Daoyi mastered the remaining two moves, "Drawing a Circle on the Ground as a Prison" and "Hundred Seals Returning to One".

"It's just a pity that no one has come to test my 'Limitless Sword Technique,' otherwise I would know where its limits are."

Just as Ji Daoyi was feeling troubled, he saw Da Huang running towards him, frolicking in front of him.

Then he saw himself slap his own head.

"I've really messed up my cultivation. Isn't Dahuang the best test subject?"

"Big Yellow, I've just mastered a new Yuan Technique and need to test its limits. You'll help me, right?" Ji Daoyi patted Big Yellow's head and said.

"Wang Wang Wang"

"Big Yellow is so good! Just do exactly what I say later, okay?"

"Wang"

Ji Dao took Da Huang to an open area and put it into an impenetrable defensive state. Then he had Da Huang use the power of the Bone Refining Realm to attack him.

Bang

Bang

Bang

Despite Dahuang's relentless attacks, Ji Daoyi remained unmoved and unharmed.

Big Yellow's attacks were all blocked by "Invincible," making a series of thuds.
