253: Thousand Weapons Dao Slash!

Although Xiao Shi had a general direction in his heart, he knew that his clone had just joined Thousand Weapons Mountain at this stage.

He definitely couldn't leave at this time.

Especially after he learned about the Thousand Weapon Mountain Ancestor's cultivation plan for his clone, he was thoroughly moved by it.

Before this.

Xiao Shi came to Thousand Weapons Mountain purely with the idea of getting closer to Qin Mo.

From beginning to end, he never thought of obtaining things like cultivation techniques or Secret Skills from Thousand Weapons Mountain.

He was very clear.

Every power has a different cultivation system.

At his current cultivation stage.

It was no longer possible to change his system.

If he could change his system at will, he wouldn't have been stuck in the Blood Martial Realm for so long because he lacked the subsequent cultivation methods of the Crimson Tiger Lineage.

It could be said that the breakthrough to the Martial Soul Realm.

Or rather, the path of the Middle Three Realms, was inherently built upon the foundation of the Lower Three Realms.

It required the accumulation of Qi and blood, Qi vortexes, and Natal Martial Blood under the same system to cross into the Middle Three Realms.

And whether it was Xiao Shi's Qi and blood, Qi vortexes, or Natal Martial Blood.

All bore the brand of the Crimson Tiger.

Therefore, he could only follow the path of the Crimson Tiger.

He could not change his cultivation system.

Thus, even if he could obtain their cultivation techniques and Secret Skills from Thousand Weapons Mountain, it wouldn't be of much significance to Xiao Shi.

But when he learned about a powerful foundation within Thousand Weapons Mountain from the Thousand Weapon Mountain Ancestor.

His heart was filled with a strong ripple… “In fact, within our Thousand Weapons Mountain, there exists a powerful Dao Law that has been lost for a long time.”

“Do you know what a Dao Law is?”

The voice of the Thousand Weapon Mountain Ancestor echoed in Xiao Shi's clone's mind and ears simultaneously.

“I do not know.”

Xiao Shi shook his head.

He only knew that there were cultivation techniques, Secret Skills, and Soul Consciousness methods in the world.

But he had never heard of a Dao Law.

“Before talking about Dao Laws, I must first tell you about the realms of martial arts.”

“In our Tianwu Continent, there are a total of nine major martial arts realms.”

“Divided into the Lower Three Realms, Middle Three Realms, and Upper Three Realms.”

“The Lower Three Realms are Entering Martial Realm, Qi Martial Realm, and Blood Martial Realm.”

“The Middle Three Realms are Martial Soul Realm, Martial Demon Realm, and Saint.”

“As for the Upper Three Realms…”

“Even at my level, I cannot access them.”

“But I know that a Saint is the Heaven of our Star Luo Territory!”

“Don't think that there's only one realm difference between a Saint and a Martial Demon.”

“In the eyes of a Saint, there's no difference between a Martial Demon Realm and an Entering Martial Realm; they are all ants that can be crushed at will.”

“The terror of a Saint is far beyond your imagination.”

“One of the keys to a Saint's immense power lies in Saint Law.”

“And Dao Law… is an existence that transcends Saint Law!”

“That is a… power of the Upper Three Realms level!”

Even without seeing the expression of the Thousand Weapon Mountain Ancestor.

Xiao Shi could feel the reverence and yearning in his tone.

Xiao Shi also cooperated by showing a shocked expression.

This was the first time he had heard information about the Upper Three Realms.

Because in the Star Luo Territory, the strongest was a Saint.

And there was only one Saint.

Therefore, the Upper Three Realms were like a legend in the entire Star Luo Territory.

It was difficult to inquire about information regarding the Upper Three Realms here.

“Dao Law…”

Xiao Shi firmly remembered this power.

“Of course.”

“The main point I want to make here is about the Dao Law of our Thousand Weapons Mountain.”

“The reason it is said to be lost is not that its cultivation method no longer exists.”

“Its cultivation method has always existed in our Thousand Weapons Mountain and has never been lost.”

“But calling it lost is mainly due to two reasons.”

“First, even if we possess the cultivation method for this Dao Law, over thousands of years, those who could meet its cultivation conditions have been few and far between.”

“Second, even those who could meet its cultivation conditions often could only achieve a part of it, unable to cultivate it to the level of a Dao Law.”

The Thousand Weapon Mountain Ancestor sighed with emotion.

Xiao Shi nodded.

If someone in Thousand Weapons Mountain could cultivate this Dao Law.

Then Thousand Weapons Mountain would not be just a third-tier power in Star Luo Province today.

“From your current situation, you have already met some of the cultivation conditions…”

“Perhaps you have a chance to cultivate this Dao Law!”

The Thousand Weapon Mountain Ancestor exclaimed.

At least Xiao Shi was the most talented person he had ever seen in all these years.

None other!

Even he himself was far inferior in comparison.

This was also one of the important reasons why the Thousand Weapon Mountain Ancestor went to great lengths to keep Xiao Shi.

If the other party could cultivate this Dao Law in Thousand Weapons Mountain.

Then the position of Thousand Weapons Mountain in the entire Tianwu Continent would surely undergo a drastic change.

He placed high hopes on Xiao Shi.

“This Dao Law is called Thousand Weapon Dao Slash. Although it is named after a thousand weapons, it does not actually require mastering a thousand weapon methods.”

“The key to this Dao Law is that each realm requires mastering a different weapon method.”

“And it must be…”

“A sufficiently exquisite weapon method!”

“For example, your current axe technique and sword technique can serve as weapon methods for two of the realms.”

“When you have mastered seven or more weapon methods, you can combine these seven weapon methods to form… Thousand Weapon Dao Slash!”

The words of the Thousand Weapon Mountain Ancestor caused a tremor in Xiao Shi's heart.

Originally, he didn't have much hope.

Because his own system was different from it.

But at this moment, he realized.

This Thousand Weapon Dao Slash did not conflict with his own Crimson Tiger system.

Because it wasn't a system.

But a Dao Law.

It was just that the cultivation difficulty of this Dao Law was extremely immense.

But Xiao Shi saw hope in it.

“If the weapon methods inside the enlightenment bead are the key to forming the Thousand Weapon Dao Slash, then as long as I drop an enlightenment bead in each subsequent realm and comprehend the weapon methods within…”

“Then cultivating this Dao Law won't be difficult for me!”

Xiao Shi's heart was burning with excitement.

In fact, he had thought about it before.

Should he specialize in one weapon or master all weapons?

In the Entering Martial Realm, he dropped the most items by killing.

Therefore, he had dabbled in various aspects.

But with the improvement of his cultivation.

The number of people he could kill was destined to become fewer and fewer.

If he wanted to master all weapons, relying solely on drops after killing might not be enough.

Now with the Thousand Weapon Dao Slash… Xiao Shi suddenly had a direction.

“I can specialize in one weapon in each different realm.”

“For example, in the Qi Martial Realm, I specialized in axe techniques.”

“When I reached the Blood Martial Realm, I specialized in sword techniques.”

“Now that I've reached the Martial Soul Realm, I will start to specialize in another weapon.”

“Finally, I will combine all these mastered weapon methods to form… Thousand Weapon Dao Slash!!”

Xiao Shi felt that this was the most suitable path for him currently.

The more troublesome aspects were mainly two points.

First, he couldn't guarantee whether he would still drop enlightenment beads.

Although he had dropped enlightenment beads in both the Qi Martial Realm and Blood Martial Realm, there was no telling if he would stop dropping them in later realms.

Or if the probability of dropping them would decrease.

Alternatively, the dropped enlightenment beads might also contain sword or axe techniques.

This would lead to duplication in weapon methods.

It relied heavily on luck.

Second, to form the Thousand Weapon Dao Slash, he needed to master at least seven or more weapon methods.

And each realm corresponded to one.

But he didn't drop an enlightenment bead in the Entering Martial Realm, which would result in him lacking one weapon method.

“I killed the most people in the Entering Martial Realm, but I never dropped an enlightenment bead, which indicates that there probably isn't an enlightenment bead for the Entering Martial Realm at all.”

“This makes it very difficult for me to fill the gap in the Entering Martial Realm's weapon method.”

Xiao Shi was somewhat troubled by this.

If there truly was an enlightenment bead for the Entering Martial Realm, and he just had bad luck and didn't drop it… then that would be fine.

Xiao Shi could go back and kill some Entering Martial Realm cultivators.

But if there truly was no enlightenment bead for the Entering Martial Realm, then it would be somewhat unsolvable.

Fortunately, the Thousand Weapon Mountain Ancestor happened to have a solution to his problem.

According to the Thousand Weapon Mountain Ancestor.

Within Thousand Weapons Mountain, there were a total of three weapon methods that conformed to the Thousand Weapon Dao Slash.

It was just that the cultivation of these three weapon methods was incredibly difficult.

Requiring extremely high comprehension.

Throughout history, even the most talented individuals in Thousand Weapons Mountain could at most master only one weapon method.

No one had ever been able to master a second weapon method.

Even the Thousand Weapon Mountain Ancestor himself.

He had only mastered one weapon method.

This was also where the difficulty of the Thousand Weapon Dao Slash Dao Law lay.

For the vast majority of people.

They generally specialized in only one weapon, because to achieve mastery in one weapon and grasp its most exquisite and peerless weapon method.

It inherently required a lot of time and effort.

Even for those who were more talented in weapons.

It was extremely difficult to do.

To master seven weapons?

And to master all of them.

And cultivate sufficiently exquisite and powerful weapon methods?

This was simply a fantasy!

Moreover, there weren't that many exquisite and powerful weapon methods in Thousand Weapons Mountain.

But for Xiao Shi, this was not impossible.

Firstly, the foundation he laid in the Lower Three Realms was incredibly solid.

Especially in the Entering Martial Realm, due to the excessive number of dropped items, he had an astonishing foundation in all aspects that was unimaginable to ordinary people.

In terms of comprehension.

He had further enhanced his comprehension to an unparalleled level through those rare and uncommon powerful elixirs that were unseen in the entire Star Luo Territory.

It could be said that as long as such an exquisite and powerful weapon method was placed before him.

He had full confidence in cultivating it.

That day.

Under the guidance of the Thousand Weapon Mountain Ancestor, Xiao Shi began to comprehend one of the weapon methods.

Thousand Weapons Mountain possessed many weapon methods.

However, there were only three such top-tier weapon methods.

These three weapon methods were not fixed.

Different people comprehending them could form different weapon methods.

For example, when the Thousand Weapon Mountain Ancestor comprehended it back then, what he formed was a sword technique.

Among others who successfully cultivated this weapon method, some formed saber techniques, while others formed staff techniques… After Xiao Shi sat cross-legged in the weapon formation, which was composed of numerous weapons arranged and combined.

He immediately began to comprehend according to the previous guidance of the Thousand Weapon Mountain Ancestor.

He first visualized what kind of weapon method he wanted to form.

Typically, those who came to comprehend.

Would visualize the weapon they were most skilled with.

For example, the Thousand Weapon Mountain Ancestor was skilled in sword techniques.

Therefore, what he visualized back then was a sword technique.

This way, the probability of successful comprehension was maximized.

Xiao Shi naturally wouldn't visualize axe techniques or sword techniques again.

What he visualized was a staff technique.

He prepared to visualize a powerful staff technique to fill the gap from his Entering Martial Realm.

Whoosh!

Under his visualization.

Numerous staff shadows immediately emerged in his mind.

He felt as if he had entered a world of staves.

And not only his clone was immersed in it.

His main body was also immersed in the comprehension of the staff technique.

Fortunately, his main body had a very low sense of presence within Thousand Weapons Mountain.

And did not attract the attention of others.

Although both the main body and the clone were immersed in comprehension.

The degree of immersion for the two was not the same.

The clone was completely immersed.

The main body, however, remained conscious.

This was to facilitate keeping track of time.

After all, every so often.

The main body had to stabilize the clone's soul.

If he were completely immersed in comprehension and forgot the time, once the soul had a problem, it would inevitably be noticed by the Thousand Weapon Mountain Ancestor.

With the main body staying conscious.

He could wake up the clone when the time was right, allowing the clone to come out to stabilize its soul under the pretext of resting.

Although this would prolong his comprehension time.

It was secure enough.

He continued to comprehend for six days straight.

Xiao Shi, through his clone, successfully comprehended a staff technique.

It was just that this staff technique, as an Entering Martial Realm staff technique, was far weaker in power than his axe technique and sword technique.

Of course.

Xiao Shi comprehended this staff technique not to enhance his combat power.

It was mainly to prepare for the future Thousand Weapon Dao Slash.

After all, to cultivate the Thousand Weapon Dao Slash, he had to fill the gap from the Entering Martial Realm.

Due to several pauses in between, his comprehension this time was much slower than usual.

If he had been fully immersed in comprehension.

He felt that he could have fully comprehended this staff technique in less than three days.

But even so… when the Thousand Weapon Mountain Ancestor learned that he had only taken six days to comprehend the staff technique, he was once again shocked by Xiao Shi's terrifying talent.

One must know.

What Xiao Shi was comprehending now was his third weapon method.

Typically, as more weapon methods were comprehended, the difficulty would continuously increase.

To date, the geniuses in Thousand Weapons Mountain had only been able to comprehend one weapon method.

But for Xiao Shi, it seemed to pose no difficulty at all.

This made the Thousand Weapon Mountain Ancestor even more excited, feeling that Xiao Shi was a peerless genius who had hope of cultivating the Thousand Weapon Dao Slash!

“I can continue to comprehend another weapon method!”

Now, he had weapon methods for the Entering Martial Realm, Qi Martial Realm, and Blood Martial Realm.

Next would be the weapon method for the Martial Soul Realm.

Unlike this staff technique.

The weapon method for the Martial Soul Realm would not just be about filling a gap.

It would also be Xiao Shi's powerful means and ultimate move in the Martial Soul Realm!
