Chapter 2151 Fifteen

The Taoist force was slowly injected, like water soaking into the soil and disappearing. While being consumed, it was also slowly transforming the selected Taoist bone, causing extremely wonderful changes to occur inside it.

Gradually, a layer of faint golden light appeared on the Taoist bone, and as more Taoist power was consumed, the golden light became increasingly denser.

Just when Lu Ye thought that there would be no problem this time and was full of expectations, he suddenly felt a pain in his body, and a crackling sound was clearly transmitted to his ears along with the flow of blood.

The selected Taoist bone was broken!

Under the impact of the uncontrolled Taoist force, the entire bone was turned into powder.

Lu Ye endured the pain and realized that he had thought things were too simple.

Come to think of it, when Jiuyan and others were polishing their Taoist bones, which one of them didn't achieve success after repeated failures?

According to the rules they have calculated, the success rate of polishing Taoist bones is basically only 10%. This is just for people like them. For those with weaker foundation, the success rate will undoubtedly be even lower.

For example, some cultivators in the Star Abyss may have to practice for dozens of times before they can succeed by chance. Therefore, practicing in the realm of Tao is not easy, and every improvement in the power of Tao requires a huge price to pay.

This failure caused Lu Ye to lose more than 100 Dao Power, but compared to his Dao Power reserve of up to 6,000, this loss was still affordable.

The painful area suddenly felt itchy. Lu Ye immersed himself in observing and immediately discovered something interesting.

The bones that had turned into powder were actually condensing again.

It's not the rebirth of broken bones, but rather condensation, as if time has gone back, the bones that were almost broken into pieces are reassembled and gradually become whole.

Logically speaking, this piece of bone will be regenerated after being broken like this. As for the broken bones, Lu Ye will find a way to expel them from the body. This kind of thing can be done by those in the late Xingxiu period, let alone Lu Ye now.

But it is clearly not a rebirth.

Lu Ye was very surprised. It shouldn't have been like this, but it happened.

Was this the change caused by the fierce Dao fire that had burned his body before? Lu Ye didn't know, but what was certain was that if his bones had been crushed into powder before today, they would not have recondensed like this.

In just a stick of incense, the broken bones were restored to their original state. Not only was there no trace of damage, but even their strength had been improved due to the previous tempering of Tao power.

The failure just now was not completely in vain!
Lu Ye quickly realized that this was a good thing for him. The Dao bones that failed to be polished would become tougher, which undoubtedly meant that the success rate of the next polishing would increase!
He immediately started polishing it again.

Unfortunately, although we were still cautious this time, we still failed at the last moment.

It was not until the third polishing, which consumed nearly five hundred strokes of power, that it was considered successful.

Upon closer inspection, the Taoist bone was glowing with golden light due to being polished by Taoist power, and was obviously different from other bones.

Lu Ye's mind moved, and some of the Taoist power carried by the leaves of the Talent Tree was transferred to this Taoist bone, making the golden light even brighter.

The Dao power of ordinary Dao realms is stored in the Dao bones, unlike him, who has the leaves of the gifted tree to carry it.

Then transfer the Dao power in the Dao bone back to the talent tree without any loss or consumption in between.

Lu Ye was happy. Now that he had his own Dao bone, if he could control the power of the ten Daos... would there still be any pressure?
The reason why monks at the entry level need to polish the second Dao bone is, firstly, to reserve more Dao power, and secondly, they need more Dao bones to share the load of controlling the Dao power. The latter is the most important, so the more Dao bones they have, the more Dao power they can control.

Lu Ye can easily control the power of the Nine Daos. If he is supplemented by this Dao bone...

As he activated the power of ten paths, Lu Ye showed a look of joy.

As expected, there was no pressure. He could clearly feel that his Taoist bone seemed to have turned into an invisible pillar, supporting his control of the Taoist power. He could no longer feel the burden that should have been on him.

But after the joy, he felt a little confused.

Whether it is Yin Luo or Duan Bo, or Jiuyan and others, they all proved that at the level of entering the Tao, the ninth path is the ultimate, and only with the help of attribute treasures can the power of the tenth path be activated.

So what's going on here?

This is the first Dao bone that truly belongs to me. If I can polish it successfully, then can I also polish the second Dao bone or even the fifth Dao bone...

By this calculation, if I succeed in polishing out the fifth bone, wouldn't I have the power of fourteen?
Although the power of the fourteen Daos is still far behind the Fusion Dao, it is much stronger than the general entry into the Dao. The difference in Dao power is almost half, and ordinary nine Daos can be killed with ease.

This is somewhat inconsistent with his understanding.

What went wrong? Was it a problem with the talent tree, or was it a problem with building your own foundation?
Lu Ye didn't quite understand, and there was no one he could ask for help.

Now he only knows his own path to the Dao realm, and his path seems to be a little different from others...

There is still a lot of Taoist power left, so Lu Ye continues to polish his Taoist bones.

After several more failures, the second bone was polished successfully, and he could easily control the power of the eleventh.

Then came the third bone, the fourth bone, the fifth bone...

The fourteen forces predicted by Lu Ye were really achieved!

Besides being dumbfounded, Lu Ye was more excited. At the Dao realm, the more Dao power he could control, the stronger he would be. With these fourteen Dao powers, he could almost be said to be invincible under the Rong Dao. Even if he encountered the worst Rong Dao, he might still have a chance to survive.

Unfortunately, at this moment in the starry sky, if he were in Xingyuan, Lu Ye would like to find some Xingyuan cultivators from the Ninth Path to practice with.

After checking his own Dao power and polishing five Dao bones, the original reserve of more than 6,000 was reduced to more than 2,000.

The more time passes in the polishing of the Dao Bone, the lower the chance of success. When Jiuyan and others were promoted from the eighth Dao to the ninth Dao, they experienced countless failures. If Yin Luo had not provided so many intact Dao Bones every month, it would have been impossible for them to be promoted and break through repeatedly in those years.

Although the situation on Lu Ye's side was not so serious, it was generally the same trend. It was just that each time the Dao Bone he selected was broken, it would become tougher, thereby increasing the probability of success. Therefore, the success rate was very high compared to ordinary people. Even so, the polishing of five Dao Bones consumed three to four thousand Dao Powers.

You have to know that it is not easy to accumulate these Dao powers. Lu Ye practiced in Qing Palace for so many years, and he only had this little fortune. Most of it was squandered in one go. However, compared with the improvement of strength, this amount of effort is nothing. Dao power can be accumulated after all.

Even though all five Dao bones were ready, Lu Ye did not stop, but chose to polish the sixth Dao bone...

Not only he had done this, Jiuyan and others had also done it, but without exception, they all failed. Restricted by the nine extreme constraints at the level of entry into the Dao, there was no possibility of successfully polishing the sixth bone.

The reason why Lu Ye wanted to try was because he had already broken the nine extreme constraints, so he wanted to know whether he could succeed.

The first attempt ended in failure as expected, and more than a hundred Dao powers were wasted.

The second attempt still failed.

Third time, fourth time...

It was not until the eighth attempt, after expending nearly a thousand Dao powers, that the sixth bone was successfully polished!

Although he felt that he had the possibility of success before polishing, when the result appeared, he was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.

He harnessed the power of fifteen paths, his face calm, but his eyes were filled with excitement.

The success of the sixth Dao bone brought him not only an increase in the power of Dao, but more importantly, an infinitely broad future. This meant that he was truly not bound by the constraints of the nine extremes and could continue to hone more Dao bones.

After a quick inspection, he found that he had 206 bones. Doesn't this mean that if all of them were polished successfully, he could control more than 200 forces?
As far as he knew, a peak Rong Dao level cultivator like Yin Luo only had the power of a hundred Daos. However, for some reasons, the Dao power at the Rong Dao level was much stronger than that at the Ru Dao level. The same Dao power could bring about stronger killing and defense.

But even so, the peak of the Fusion Dao is limited to a hundred Daos.

After the Hundred Daos, that is the level of harmony with the Dao.

While feeling excited, he also felt a little bitter in his heart. It had already taken nearly a thousand Daoist powers to polish the sixth bone. The more Daoist powers he would need to spend in the future, the more Daoist powers he would need to spend. If he wanted to polish all the bones in his body into Daoist bones, how huge would the cost of Daoist powers be?

Thinking about it more carefully, Lu Ye vaguely felt that his abnormality should have nothing to do with the talent tree. If there was a root cause, it should be the result of using the power of the Three Flowers to ignite the Dao Fire and burn himself. Although there was no direct evidence, Lu Ye had this feeling in his heart.

The practice of the Three Flowers is already extremely difficult. Using that flawless, pure, and extremely condensed foundation to ignite the Dao fire and transform one's body into a furnace for burning should produce some unusual results.

It’s a pity. If it’s because of Sanhua, I will never be able to follow this path again.

He always felt that the practice of Sanhua was not that simple. If one simply wanted a cultivator to reach the pinnacle of a realm, the conditions required would be too harsh. But if all the hardships led to such a result, then all the previous efforts and hard work would be worth it.

There was less than two thousand Dao force left in reserve. Lu Ye thought about it and gave up the idea of ​​continuing to polish his Dao bones.

Now I have fifteen powers, and when overloaded, I can activate the power of sixteen. No one is invincible when I have integrated the Dao, so one more power won't make much difference.

Moreover, the talent tree requires a reserve of Dao power. The reason he was able to exert the power of the Dao realm initially was because the Dao power reserve of the talent tree was sufficient. When the Dao power reserve exceeded two hundred, he could activate the power of six Daos. When it exceeded four hundred, it would be seven Daos. Six hundred corresponded to eight Daos, and nine Daos required eight hundred. If the reserve fell below eight hundred, he would not be able to exert the strength of nine Daos.

Taking into account the clone of the talent tree, his Dao force reserves must be maintained at at least two thousand, so that he and his clone can perform at their expected level, so the remaining Dao force must be retained.
