In the instant Li Dao's eyes flashed, his figure left the rooftop and began to walk on the ground. Soon, twelve standard, straight tree branches appeared in his hand. With his large hand outstretched and his divine sense activated, the tree branches, like markers, were nailed directly to various places, forming a twelve-sided array!
Chapter 178 The Possibility of Rune Arrays!
As twelve straight branches pierced the ground, a wisp of Qi from the same source emerged from them. This was a technique added by Li Dao; otherwise, how could he possibly attempt to explore space with just ordinary branches?
Even though Li Dao possesses extraordinary comprehension and is so powerful that he can rival the strength of a fourth-generation main god, it is extremely difficult for him to create something from nothing and turn the fake into the real, unless his strength surpasses the rules or order and he can influence reality through the rules.
"Buzz!" The twelve branches trembled. Li Dao activated the "Reverse Life Immortal" technique, and the Qi in his body flowed and gathered in his eyes. Instantly, the world seemed to become more vast and his vision was refreshed. The air contained dark energy and miscellaneous energies.
At this moment, these energies seemed to be influenced by the Qi of the twelve branches on the ground, gradually transforming into strands of silk that seeped into them. Although most of the energy dissipated in this process, some of the energy still tried to resonate slowly according to the Qi's plan.
Li Dao's eyes turned white, and his ability to observe things increased many times over. He took in all these energy trajectories, and after deducing and calculating in his mind, combined with most of his knowledge about formations, he gradually gained a clearer understanding of the path to formations.
"This is just a simple formation, but the energy flow trajectory has given me a profound insight." Li Dao suddenly thought of a novel he had read in his previous life: "If I could observe these energy flow trajectories without using the array flags to set up the formation, I could try drawing talismans in the air."
The Way of Talismans and the Way of Array Formations are similar because both rely on external objects for defense. Although one's own cultivation level may be sufficient to keep up, most of one's strength is still focused on the Way of Talismans and Array Formations.
The two are interconnected; whether a talisman is used as an array or an array is used as a talisman, it proves their compatibility.
Li Dao possessed memories of his past life. Having lived two lives, he had a high degree of creative thinking. He made some deductions based on the novel, then his white eyes flashed, he stretched out his fingers, and a wisp of Qi appeared at his fingertips. Immediately afterward, he began to draw in the air.
"The laws of heaven and earth are boundless, the four symbols arise, the eight trigrams are fixed, so be it!" Li Dao uttered the last sentence, completing the strokes with his fingertips. In an instant, a bright white light shone in front of him, and a white talisman floated in the air.
Li Dao stopped and looked at the white talisman in front of him. Because it was a Qi painting formed by the aggregation of essence, energy, and spirit, its essence was very high.
"Although it is a talisman copied from the entire Daoist manual in the void, I don't know how effective it will be. Why don't we give it a try?" As he finished speaking, Li Dao's eyes lit up with interest, but after looking around at the dark night, he opened his hand, and the talisman floated into his palm before disappearing from the scene.
This is his villa. If this talisman explodes too powerfully and blows up the villa, he'll get nagged by that little wench He Xi again. It's a pity he destroyed Taotie, otherwise he could have done a proper experiment.
This time, Li Dao didn't plan to try anything new on Earth. Instead, he left Earth and came to outer space. Standing under the vast starry sky, he looked around and finally locked his gaze on the moon, a satellite.
There are many reasons for choosing it, but the two main ones are: first, the moon's interior is very solid; and second, it's close by. He was too lazy to fly that far to Mars; he was just testing the effects and power of the talismans, not going there for combat.
Soon, Li Dao arrived at the surface of the moon, which was covered with craters of varying sizes, clearly formed by the obstruction of meteorites hitting the Earth.
"Let's do it here." Li Daogang landed on the moon and didn't continue to choose a location. He could conduct experiments anywhere on the moon, so why waste any more time?
At the same time that Li Dao appeared on the moon, Tianren 7 inadvertently captured his whereabouts.
"Zhixin, Sister Leng, Sister Lingxi, come and take a look at this!" Angel Jade's surprised voice suddenly rang out in the hall as she looked at the sphere.
Thanks to the energy cluster given to her by Li Dao, her genes were slightly improved, resulting in a beautiful and slender appearance, fair and jade-like skin that even radiated a lustrous glow, making her look like a precious gem.
The other girls were incredibly envious.
Upon hearing this, the three women stopped what they were doing and walked to Angel Jade's side. Without any hesitation, Angel Jade projected the scene she had seen, and the figure on it was none other than Li Dao.
But what is he going to the moon for?
The three women looked at Li Dao in the projection, a talisman floating in their hands. The handwriting was messy and they couldn't make out what the characters were, but they could feel that the talisman contained a strange charm and terrifying energy compressed to the extreme.
"What is he going to do?" The three women stared intently at Li Dao in the projection. As if sensing something, he looked up and met their gaze, then looked away, raised his hand, and his mouth moved. Instantly, the talisman shot out.
Rumble!
The next instant, a huge explosion, like a missile hitting a target, erupted in the distance in front of Li Dao. Even though the lunar environment is a vacuum, a powerful shockwave was generated, causing his Taoist robe to flutter.
"The explosion was very powerful; it could completely destroy a demon unit." Li Dao walked over, looked at the small crater it had created, and mentally assessed the explosive power of the talisman. A demon unit represented a demon squad.
It's just an ordinary demon squad, so it would be very difficult for it to have any effect on the third-generation demon warriors. The talismans don't have auto-aiming, so they'd probably be fired and the enemy would escape by the time they got to the target.
"It has no other function. It seems to be a talisman copied from a complete Taoist manual. Although its essence has changed, its effect remains the same, which saves us from the testing phase," Li Dao said.
"Jade, use the Seven Calculations of Heavenly Blade to calculate just how powerful that thing Li Dao just used was," Angel said coldly.
However, just as she opened her mouth, the angel Zhixin beside her gave her the answer: "No need to calculate anymore. The power of that thing is no less than that of a missile, and it's even a Dongfeng series missile from China."
"If used properly, it could potentially destroy one or two demon squads, and even pose a threat to the third-generation demon warriors if they let their guard down. However, I estimate that it can only cause some injuries, second only to our Flame Sword."
"Yan really found a treasure!" Angel Leng exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this.
Angel Zhixin and Angel Lingxi exchanged glances. They both knew that although Sister Yan and Sister Leng were like oil and water, they were more like sisters. It was normal to feel jealous and envious.
"..." Angel Jade sat silently, but when her gaze continued to look at the projection, she suddenly noticed that Li Dao was using his fingers as a brush, with Qi flowing through his fingertips, to draw something in front of him. Moreover, as he drew, clear white-gold stripes appeared on the areas he was drawing.
So she couldn't help but remind the three women.
"What is he doing?" Li Dao's actions shocked the three women and left them with a string of questions. Wasn't this a science fiction world? What was he doing to them?
It's no wonder the three women were shocked, because at this moment, Li Dao used his fingertips as pens to trace something in the void, successfully drawing talismans one by one. As each talisman was drawn, it would float lightly to a certain position.
Only when the nine talismans landed in their corresponding positions did Li Dao stop his copying movements. His internal energy calmed down again. Looking at the talismans that had formed a simple array before him, his eyes flickered, and he said calmly, "I wonder if it will succeed!"
Chapter 179 Solution!
"Buzz!" As the last talisman landed in its corresponding position, the next second, all nine talismans resonated together. Because the talismans were copied from Li Dao's Qi, he was able to control them with exquisite precision.
Li Daoqiang subtly controlled the talisman with his divine sense, creating a magnetic field resonance effect. Gradually, a small white dot suddenly appeared in the central area surrounded by the talisman and slowly expanded at a uniform speed.
"Did it succeed?" Li Dao stared at the expanding white dot, his white eyes expressionless. He usually wouldn't show any emotion before getting the desired result, to avoid a situation where he'd pop champagne halfway through.
However, it wasn't just Li Dao who was watching; even the angels inside Tianren No. 7 were keeping a close eye on them.
"Can he succeed? Drawing talismans in the void and trying to create something like an array through resonance is probably extremely difficult," said Angel Lingxi.
“I don’t know, and the Tianren 7 system and the database can’t provide any comparative samples. However, I reverse-engineered the magnetic field resonance effect and discovered that the quantum is undergoing entanglement. There’s a 50% chance of success,” Angel Zhixin said.
Because she was mentored by He Xi and liked to approach things with data, she was unsure whether Li Dao could succeed without data for comparison.
Angel Leng didn't speak. She was a warrior, and like Yan, she preferred to be a pure warrior and didn't like to study scientific research. However, after many years, she had accumulated a certain amount of knowledge.
“This must be his way of reinforcing the celestial bodies,” said Angel Lingxi.
Angel Zhixin was present during Li Dao's conversation, and she naturally overheard Li Dao talking about strengthening the stability of celestial bodies in space. Now, seeing the methods he used, she couldn't help but think in that direction.
"I don't know either," Angel Zhixin shook her head.
She wasn't sure either, but since it was Li Dao who raised the question, he should be able to solve it, right?
“Keep watching, he seems to be on the verge of failure.” Angel Leng suddenly spoke, her gaze fixed on the array constructed from talismans projected on the screen.
Upon hearing this, both women looked at the projection and indeed saw the array formed by the talismans, and the white dot in the middle area was cracking.
At the same time, Li Dao looked at the talisman array that was on the verge of collapse. Cracks began to appear on the white-gold talismans, which were slowly splitting open, as if they were about to shatter at any moment.
The expanding white dot in the middle seemed to have reached its limit. Even if it continued to expand, cracks had already appeared, and the entire formation was like porcelain that would shatter at the slightest touch.
Faced with this situation, Li Dao remained calm, continuously channeling the "Reverse Life Immortal Technique" to supply energy to the nine talismans. At the same time, he also drew dark energy from the cosmos to replenish his own energy deficiency.
He was like a giant conversion device, first converting dark energy into pure energy to provide for his own essence, energy, and spirit, and then converting the essence, energy, and spirit into Qi, which was then continuously supplied to the nine talismans.
In an instant, the nine talismans, nourished by Li Dao's Qi, shone brightly with a white-gold light, stabilizing their own collapse and even healing the cracks on their surfaces, thus restoring the shaky and collapsing talisman array.
"So that's how it is." Li Dao felt the dark energy within his body transform into pure energy to strengthen his essence, qi, and spirit, and then the essence, qi, and spirit coalesce into qi, completing a cycle of change from the outside in. Suddenly, his white eyes lit up like two white suns.
"I now know how to solve the problem of the space where celestial bodies exist." After saying this, Li Dao stopped circulating the "Reversed Life Immortal Technique," ceased continuously supplying Qi to the nine talismans, waved his hand to put them away, and quickly left the moon.
Li Dao's decisive and efficient demeanor left the angels watching the projection on Tianren No. 7 completely bewildered, having no idea why he had stopped.
However, the other angels were unaware of this, but the three women who had been watching the projection clearly saw it, especially the incredibly bright look in Li Dao's eyes before he left. It was obvious that he had thought of something exciting, or perhaps he had thought of a solution to the problem of celestial bodies being in space.
"He must have figured out a solution, right?" Angel Lingxi asked hesitantly.
Angel Zhixin shook her head: "I don't know either. Since Li Dao has come up with a solution, the first thing he should do upon returning to Earth is come to Tianren 7."
Swish!
Just as Angel Zhixin finished speaking, Li Dao's figure instantly appeared on Tianren No. 7. He also teleported in using spatial media. At this moment, his dark eyes shone with a bright light.
Angel Leng and Angel Lingxi glanced at Angel Zhixin, their eyes revealing an expression of "I knew it."
Li Dao strode over: "I have found a solution to the problem of celestial bodies existing in space. However, we will need to mark three talismans in the form of carvings and then use an energy conversion device to convert dark energy and stellar energy to output energy to the talismans, thereby achieving a stalemate."
"Of course, this is just an inspiration that came to me after energy transformation. If I want to achieve this state, I may need some materials to assist me in the experiment."
Angel Zhixin pondered in silence for a moment before saying, "I have carefully calculated that your theory is indeed possible, with a success rate of about 60%. It is a risky theory that involves gamblers, but I can provide you with materials to test it."
"After all, this calculation is the result of my consideration of various factors. Whether it succeeds or not depends on your performance. In terms of space, although we have studied wormhole space, we have not studied how to store celestial bodies in space."
"Moreover, it is an unorganized and disordered space, unlike the gentle space where the engine is stored in the dark dimension. It will definitely encounter spatial turbulence, and if you are unlucky enough to encounter a spatial storm, the celestial body may be destroyed."
Science is rigorous and allows no mistakes, so after calculating the success rate, she posed the question to Li Dao. After all, the celestial body being developed was from Earth, and although they were involved as family members, the final choice still rested with the other party.
Li Dao nodded: "I understand this, so I want to put a shield outside the celestial body, which can at least block the space storm for a period of time, which is enough time for the celestial body to move away."
He wasn't a complete novice who knew nothing. In terms of celestial technology, there were naturally some things that could harm celestial bodies. So, if he wanted to store celestial bodies in space, he would definitely have to take some measures to protect them from space-related damage.
The spatial barrier-like things he was thinking about were a very effective protective measure; otherwise, why would he have thought about space?
"Okay, I'll give you the materials for the experiment now."
Chapter 180 Annie Xide!
P.S.: I remembered it wrong before. Moi came to Frieza to follow Yan, so the Moi in Skyblade No. 7 is Lingxi. Sorry!
After saying that, Angel Zhixin used micro-wormhole transport technology to bring a lot of materials to the spot. Apart from the dark alloy, which Li Dao was somewhat familiar with, he did not recognize the rest of the materials.
This is normal, after all, it has been a dictatorship of the known universe for tens of thousands of years and has collected materials from various star systems for countless years. Even ordinary materials are cosmic materials that far surpass those on Earth. Although it is a pity to use them for experiments, it is better than using celestial bodies for experiments, right?
“These are various metal materials that I collected in the known universe before, but I haven’t had time to hand them over yet. However, you are Sister Yan’s god and the new king’s man, so you can use these materials to experiment. Although the quantity is a bit small, it should be enough for the experiments,” Angel Zhixin said.
She did not choose to bring materials from the Angelic Civilization, but these materials were all those that had not yet been handed over, so by rounding up, it could be considered that she used the resources and materials of the Angelic Civilization.
“Okay.” Li Dao didn’t stand on ceremony. He put all the materials into his space, chatted with the women for a while about what had just happened, and then went to He Xi’s private laboratory on the third floor of the villa.
Inside the laboratory, the demon Atai still had a crazed look on his dark face. He tried to struggle with his limbs and make a sound, but he could not because of the silver shackles. His throat was also damaged and he could no longer make any sound.
Its eyes were blood red, like the legendary Blood Demon. An ordinary person would definitely be so scared that they would run away. But Li Dao stepped forward and used a Reincarnation Technique on it. His voice rang out: "Since you want to vent your anger, then I will grant your wish. However, this will be your last time."
After saying that, Li Dao ignored the demon Atai who was trapped in the cycle of reincarnation and began to take out materials to prepare for the experiment he envisioned.
Now, no ignorant civilization on Earth has come to cause trouble. Representatives of various civilizations have led their fleets back to port. Although countries outside of China are still embroiled in wars and power reshuffling, it does not affect the overall stability of China in the slightest.
Moreover, with the Super Soldier Corps putting out fires everywhere, he was happy to have some free time and focus on his experiments.
While Li Dao was focused on his experiment, a war between humans and demons was unfolding in the southern part of Fraser, a planet countless light-years away from Earth.
A war between the Holy Kingdom of Ailan and newly spawned mutated demons.
Because the demon Ator had spread demonic factors in the north, the planet Fraser was now filled with demonic factors, assimilating those who harbored anger and resentment, much like the situation on Earth.
The only difference is that one was a demonic factor scattered by the Demon Queen Morgana, and the other was scattered by the demon Ator. However, the fundamental difference between the two resulted in the mutated demons of Frieza being far less powerful than the mutated demons of Earth.
