Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#796 - The way of talismans is to imitate nature!

Imitating the heavens and earth, and then imitating all living beings and things.

Using the profound mysteries of Dao patterns to depict and engrave, drawing upon the secret power of heaven and earth, and then transforming the various wonders within into one's own use.

This is the ultimate goal that Liang Yue has set for himself in this seclusion.

In the myriad worlds, there are countless strange and unusual species~

Among them, some are born with divine enlightenment, mastering great magic power, and possessing their own unique inheritance methods.

Some, from the moment they are born, possess immense strength and indestructible bodies, far stronger than all the races in this world.

Some species are even born as gods from the moment they come into existence!

Their existence and greatness rely on the favor of heaven and earth and their own powerful bloodlines.

Therefore, what he needs to do is to use the power of talismans to simulate the various wonders of these species, and then sort them out and reverse engineer them, and then apply them to himself.

This is the fundamental way that his mother initially pointed out to Liang Yue that the path of talismans can enhance the physique and strengthen the body.

Frankly speaking, this is not a good path…

Because it is too troublesome and too complicated, far less practical than directly throwing him a powerful body-forging technique.

However, this is indeed a broad road~

As long as he can figure out the truth of this, it will not only be about strengthening the physique and enhancing the body.

All the wonders of this world, all kinds of cultivation and evolution paths, can be analyzed and simulated by him in the form of talisman Dao patterns.

This is a road to the sky, with countless treasures and mysteries hidden within.

And through imitating other congenitally powerful species, simulating their own powerful origins, and then using them for one's own cultivation, this is actually an extremely difficult task in the path and field of talismans…

Throughout this entire exploration process, many branches and twig systems will inevitably appear.

They will come uninvited, like dazzling and confusing flowers, emitting dazzling light, attracting his attention from various angles~

Thinking carefully, this seems to have already exceeded the scope of what Liang Yue seeks.

Because what he wants is actually just a simple body refining technique.

To take a step back, even if Liang Yue hadn't sought help from his mother and relied on himself to create techniques and comprehend the Dao, forcibly breaking through, it wouldn't have become so troublesome.

Time, in this process, became the least valuable thing.

Furthermore, before, his mother had pointed out three paths to strengthen his body.

There is not only the simple path of bitter cultivation, through external pressure applied to oneself to achieve the purpose of training, but also the path of talismans and formations, indirectly achieving oneself through other means.

This path now seems to be Liang Yue's own choice, even if it is more troublesome, the road is tortuous, and it takes a longer time, he has to accept it!

…

Therefore, in the following time, Liang Yue, who understood the main purpose of his retreat and practice this time, and explored the path forward, began to bury himself in serious research again.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of years passed by~

After summarizing and concluding the basic talisman Dao patterns that conform to his own understanding as the foundation, Liang Yue's progress in this century of retreat and cultivation can be described as rapid, embarking on a fast track to explore talisman cultivation.

Although his personal cultivation realm still remains within the Void Refinement Stage, his cognitive system, cognitive angle, and attitude towards the entire world have undergone tremendous changes in silence.

Although the previous Liang Yue was also extraordinary, powerful and fierce, his cultivation path was mostly pieced together, and in the process of cultivation, he was accustomed to bursting out arbitrarily according to his own preferences and inspiration.

Although he did walk out of a good evolutionary path, he lacked many necessary systematization and heavy accumulation!

To be precise, the previous Liang Yue lacked a foundation that could run through his cultivation path from beginning to end!

Although this foundation system may not necessarily bring him too much extraordinary combat power or dominate his cultivation path, it can enable Liang Yue to further deepen his understanding of the cultivation path.

Enhance his cognitive depth of heaven and earth, nature, the universe, all things, and the rules of the Great Dao!

In short, the previous Liang Yue was like a fierce commando team, good at winning by surprise, with a brave and sturdy combat style, and also controlling heavy firepower that could cause great damage to the enemy.

Very good, very powerful~

And now he is like a fully staffed large army, with base logistics, firepower coverage, good at overall advancement, emphasizing positional warfare, but also able to play tactics such as interspersion, surprise attacks, and flanking maneuvers.

The speed of advancement on the path of cultivation between these two methods may not be very different, but the effects produced are definitely different!

Of course, relying solely on this hundred years of retreat, research, and cultivation, naturally cannot enable Liang Yue to go too far in this field of talisman Dao. At this time, he is still on the road~

And Liang Yue's current realm has probably been promoted from the previous initial glimpse to the stage of entering the hall!

Specifically, Liang Yue's current stage of cultivation of the talisman Dao probably still remains in the later stage of imitating nature.

He can conduct all-round simulation applications of various specific phenomena in the current natural world, such as wind, frost, rain, snow, thunder, fire, magma, earthquakes, and tsunamis.

On the basis of this, some variant subdivisions and developments, such as various attribute attack techniques, shields, escape techniques, etc., are also within his research scope.

For some phenomena that clearly exist in the natural world but have relatively vague manifestations, such as fluctuations, magnetism, and space, there are also some relatively good applications.

In short, Liang Yue's exploration and use of those basic Dao patterns has advanced all the way from the stage of a single talisman, simple interspersion, combination, and superposition of multiple talismans, to the field of compounding and integrating different talisman Dao patterns.

In some more proficient areas, such as the field of spatial rules learned from the Mage Sanctuary, the field of power derived from the Power Stone and his own ability to manipulate gravity.

Due to the needs of the Purple Gold Gourd and the existence of the Heavenly Rock Dwelling, the field of earth law is more in-depth.

Due to his own cultivation Dao fruit and the gradual promotion of the Thunder Fire Wood Little Tree, the gradually deduced field of life, etc., also has some extra, more profound understanding.

However, it is still somewhat lacking from Liang Yue's true purpose of entering this talisman Dao, imitating all things in the world.

To be precise, it is still somewhat lacking from the level of imitating the power of bloodlines on those powerful species and then returning them to oneself.

From the perspective of talisman Dao, the structure, delicacy, and complexity of the human body and living organisms are far higher than natural phenomena such as frost, rain, and snow.

The difficulty of imitation is no longer on the same order of magnitude!

Fortunately, Liang Yue is not far from this stage. If he has to cross this stage and forcibly impact the level of living organisms, that is, the stage of imitating all things, he should be able to achieve some good results in a short period of time.

However, Liang Yue is not eager for research in this area now.

After all, this journey of time has just begun, and it has only been a mere hundred years. He still has time to slowly accumulate, advance, and launch an impact towards a higher level step by step~
