Chapter 2100 Breaking through the Limit
The four members of the team are all refining their Taoist bones and accumulating Taoist power.

Although Lu Ye only got one piece, it took him longer than ever before because the Taoist power remaining in this piece of Taoist bone was too abundant.

By the time Lu Ye had finished refining, his accumulated Taoist power had reached two hundred and sixty-two!
In other words, the benefits he gained from that piece of Taoist bone were more than sixty strands of Taoist power, which was unprecedented.

Only he who possesses the talent tree can obtain so many benefits. If it were Du Qingsha who refined it, twenty strands of Tao power would be the limit, and any more would be wasted.

That's why Lu Ye's Dao power is accumulating more and more. Although others have also accumulated it, their efficiency is far lower than his. Sometimes they consume too much and can only barely replenish it from the spoils of war.

The other three were still refining Dao bones. Lu Ye opened his eyes and recalled the moment a few days ago...

Then he slowly urged the five strands of Taoist power to merge into his own magic power, feeling it silently.

Five should be his limit.

But now... Lu Ye vaguely felt that he seemed to have broken through this limit. If he wanted, he should be able to control a little more of the power of Tao!
This was a feeling he had never experienced before, and it was also the reason why he suddenly froze when he faced the Five Dao Humans a few days ago.

He had this feeling at the time, so he suffered a small loss.

After hesitating for a while, Lu Ye couldn't help but try it.

Then he was pleasantly surprised to find that it worked.

The sixth strand of Tao power was successfully integrated into the magic power. Lu Ye was stunned for a moment. Did he really break through the limit?

Before he could figure out what was going on, his face changed involuntarily, because with what he had just done, his whole person suddenly underwent a huge change. The blood flow suddenly accelerated, and his heartbeat became rapid and as dense as drumbeats. When he raised his hand, his skin turned red, and his whole body, from the inside out, felt a tremendous pressure out of nowhere, as if there were thousands of invisible long needles shuttling through his body, trying to tear him apart.

Lu Ye quickly withdrew his power...

Dao power is not something that will be consumed once it is activated. It will only be slowly consumed when encountering enemy attacks and collisions during battle. If you are just trying it like Lu Ye did, the Dao power can be recovered without any loss.

Everything is back to normal.

Lu Ye frowned in confusion. According to the information he had obtained, the limit of a cultivator's ability to control the power of Tao was related to his own foundation. His foundation had not improved in recent times, so how could he suddenly break through the five limits?
And... he recalled what happened some time ago. When his own Dao power accumulated to more than two hundred, he had a strange feeling. However, no matter how he investigated, he could not find the source of this feeling.

Thinking about it now, that strange feeling should have been brought about by breaking through his own limits, but he was completely unaware of it at the time until he faced the Five Dao Human Race and suddenly realized it.

So, if the power of Tao accumulates to a certain level, it can break through the limit?
It’s just because his own foundation has not been improved, so even if he has made a breakthrough, he will still feel pressure when controlling the power of the Six Paths.

No, if that's the case, then why is Du Qingsha still only at the fifth level? She has been fighting in this battlefield for at least a hundred years, and the amount of Dao power she has accumulated cannot be less than two hundred.

I have to ask clearly.

One day later, Du Qingsha refined her spoils of war, slowly opened her eyes, and immediately heard Lu Ye's voice transmission: "Captain, I have something to ask you."

Du Qingsha turned around and asked in the same voice transmission: "What's the matter?"

Lu Ye only felt that Du Qingsha seemed to have become a little gentler, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and asked the question in his heart: "Captain, how much power have you accumulated now? Of course, if it's hard to say, you don't have to say it."

Du Qingsha smiled and said, "What's wrong with that? My Dao power is only a hundred."

Less than 100? Lu Ye was puzzled. How could it be less than 100? This was too little. Even if there was consumption in the battle, Du Qingsha should not have only this much power.

As if she had seen through his confusion, Du Qingsha explained, "I have been honing my second Dao bone in recent years, so I cannot accumulate Dao power."

"The second bone?" Lu Ye was even more confused.

Although he and Jiuyan obtained a lot of information that they had never encountered before at the Thunder Battle Fortress, he had never heard of this so-called second bone. The information given in the Thunder Battle Report did not include this.

Du Qingsha said: "All Five Dao cultivators are qualified to polish their second bone. Whether it is us Starry Sky cultivators or those monsters from the Star Abyss, you should also be qualified. Once you succeed, you can break through your own limits. For example, if I succeed, I will go from five to six, and my strength will increase greatly!"

Lu Ye couldn't help but think: "How to polish it?"

"It's very simple. When the accumulated Dao power exceeds 200, slowly inject all the Dao power into the second Dao bone, fundamentally changing the nature of the second Dao bone. If the Dao bone can withstand the impact of the Dao power without breaking, it is a success. Otherwise, it is a failure. All the Dao power will be consumed and it needs to be accumulated again. In this process, the choice of Dao bone is crucial. There will also be a set of corresponding cultivation methods to make the selected Dao bone stronger and able to withstand the impact of Dao power!"

It was the first time that Lu Ye heard such a statement. However, if the second bone was polished in this way, it could explain why a strong person like Du Qingsha had a Dao power of only 100.

She must have failed, and all the spiritual power she had accumulated before turned into nothing.

But... I don’t have a second Dao bone, so why did I break through the limit after my Dao power accumulation exceeded 200?
Moreover, he did not have any Taoist bones at all. All his Taoist power was carried on the leaves of the talent tree. He also broke the rule that non-Xingyuan creatures could not obtain Taoist power without building a Taoist foundation.

But think about it from another angle, what if the talent tree is his Taoist bone?
Others need to polish their second bone, but the talent tree doesn't need polishing at all, so is this weird situation happening?
In any case, this is a good thing for Lu Ye.

"Otherwise, how do you think those powerful beings of the Six Paths and Seven Paths in this starry sky were born?" Du Qingsha smiled.

"There are seven powerful people in this starry sky?" Lu Ye was shocked.

"The castle lord Chen Wulei is one of the seven powerful masters, don't you know?" Du Qingsha looked at Lu Ye curiously. She once thought that Lu Ye had some relationship with the castle lord.

Lu Ye shook his head. He only knew that the castle lord was very powerful, but how could he know that the castle lord was a powerful man of seven levels?
A powerful Taoist master must control seven strands of Taoist power at once. Right now, he is under tremendous pressure to control six strands, let alone seven strands... He may have to wait until his cultivation level is further improved to be able to control them.

"Break through five Daos and you will be able to rule an area. Every person in the strongholds and fortresses around this battlefield is at least a six-Dao strongman!" Du Qingsha's eyes showed desire. For many years, she has been working hard for this goal, but unfortunately she has never succeeded. The total amount of Dao power consumed for this has exceeded a thousand.

Lu Ye thought of another question: "Captain, if the six strong men need to polish the second bone, what about the seventh? Isn't it..."

Du Qingsha nodded: "You are right. The Seven Dao strongmen have the third Dao bone. You also know that the amount of Dao power controlled is directly related to the strength of the cultivator's foundation. But even if it is the foundation of the peak of the Divine Realm, at most it can control five strands of Dao power. Therefore, more Dao bones are needed to share the pressure. The second Dao bone needs to accumulate more than 200 Dao power to be polished, and the third Dao bone needs to accumulate more than 400 Dao power to be qualified for polishing. In the future, there will be the fourth Dao bone and the fifth Dao bone, corresponding to 600 and 800 respectively... It can be said that after the fifth Dao, the improvement of each Dao power is extremely difficult, but once successful, the strength will advance by leaps and bounds. You and I should take this as our goal and encourage each other to move forward."

Lu Ye listened with fascination and did a quick calculation in his mind. The successful polishing of the fourth bone would correspond to eight cultivators, and the fifth bone would correspond to nine strong men!

"What about after the Dao Power breaks through 1,000? If the Dao Bone is successfully polished, won't it be a strong man of the Ten Daos?"

Du Qingsha laughed: "I don't know. No one in the entire starry sky knows. Maybe there are such monsters in the Star Abyss, but the strongest in this starry sky are only seven."

"Has no one passed through the Xingyuan Gate and entered the Xingyuan to investigate the situation in all these years?"

Du Qingsha was silent for a moment, then said, "In fact, this starry sky once gave birth to an Eight Dao strongman, the only one. He fought his way into the Star Abyss Gate fifty years ago, and there has been no news of him since then."

It seems that there is great danger behind the Star Abyss Gate!

Lu Ye couldn't help but think of Xue Zu again. This guy came from Xingyuan. She even broke a treasure like Fangcun Mountain. How strong is she? Could she be a strong man of the Ten Dao?
But Lu Ye always felt that things were not that simple, because even if the Blood Ancestor was really one of the ten powerful Dao masters, the Dao power he could control at one time was only ten strands. But the treasure was the condensation of Dao, could ten powerful Dao masters really break it?
"We still know too little about Xingyuan. Although it has been invaded for more than 300 years, Xingyuan is still a huge mystery to us." Du Qingsha sighed, then took out another jade slip and threw it to Lu Ye: "This is for you."

"What is this?" Lu Ye asked.

"Some cultivation methods for Dao bones that I exchanged from the War Merit Hall are no longer useful."

She had already practiced what she needed to practice, so this jade slip was naturally of no use to her.

On the contrary, it was somewhat useful to Lu Ye. Even if he couldn't use it, Jiuyan could still use it, so it was considered a great achievement. He thanked him immediately and put it away.

In the following time, Du Qingsha taught him many things that he needed to pay attention to when polishing the Dao bone. Over the years, she had polished her second Dao bone five times. Although each time ended in failure, she had accumulated a lot of experience. Moreover, these were all her own personal experiences, which were much more accurate than hearsay.

Lu Ye listened attentively and took notes secretly.
