At the same time, they would also have the village children become Li Yao's disciples.
This is a fantastic opportunity!
They spent their lives cutting firewood and farming, living a life of extreme poverty.
If their children can learn Taoist magic, they may change their fate and become a god-like figure revered by everyone.
This day was an extraordinary one for Caomiao Village.
...
Caomiao Village is about 50 li away from Wushuang Mountain (formerly Tianyu Mountain).
For an average person, it would take at least two or three hours to walk.
Therefore, Li Yao estimated that after the villagers of Caomiao Village confirmed that Wushuang Mountain had changed, they would not be able to reach Wushuang Mountain until tomorrow at the earliest.
Li Yao didn't rest while waiting for the villagers of Caomiao Village to arrive.
He decided to study the barrier.
A barrier is a special space created by a spellcaster storing their magical power in a specific array to form a defensive wall or shield, thus isolating it from the outside world and preventing outsiders from entering or attacking.
In other words, a barrier mainly consists of two components.
Firstly, magical power.
Secondly, specific formations.
Of course, some barriers are constructed using specific talismans, magical artifacts, and other items.
This is very special; it's not something Li Yao is currently researching.
What he wanted to study was how to construct barriers using array formations.
Previously, he had already obtained some methods for creating barriers from the secret manuals of the Tianyu Sect.
Although these methods are not profound enough, they are still quite valuable for reference.
In addition, he had already obtained a barrier formation: the Five Poisons Eight Trigrams Seal.
In other words, he can now directly construct a barrier using the 'Five Poisons Eight Trigrams Seal'.
So he came to the entrance of the Spirit Vein Cave, and following the method of the 'Five Poisons Eight Trigrams Seal', he formed a hand seal and performed the incantation facing the cave entrance.
With a buzzing sound!
A faint blue light flashed, and a faint blue Bagua pattern appeared at the cave entrance.
The pattern features five poisonous creatures in each of the five directions: scorpion, centipede, snake, toad, and spider.
The entire pattern is like a thin film, very transparent, and you can clearly see what's inside.
This transparent barrier pattern can also be hidden.
With a thought, Li Yao pointed at the barrier pattern.
Immediately, the pattern disappeared, and it was as if nothing had ever existed at the entrance of the hole.
However, other people or animals cannot enter without specific methods.
Of course, Li Yao, as the spellcaster, can come and go freely.
Give it a try!
So Li Yao went through the cave entrance and entered the cave.
A ripple appeared on the barrier where he passed, then vanished instantly.
Then, he walked out of the cave.
Then, he summoned the Fire Qilin, a beast from his spatial storage, pointed at the cave, and said to the Fire Qilin, "Little Fire, why don't you go in and give it a try!"
Without giving it much thought, the fire qilin shook its head and walked straight into the cave.
Buzz!
The moment the fire qilin's head touched the invisible barrier, it seemed as if something bounced off its head, leaving it dizzy and disoriented.
At the same time, a dark blue Bagua pattern appeared at the entrance of the cave.
"It really works!"
Li Yao nodded in satisfaction.
"???"
The Fire Qilin was speechless.
It turns out, its owner was using it as a lab rat!
It snorted in dissatisfaction and found a soft spot to take a nap.
Although Li Yao has verified that the barrier is effective.
However, this was not his ultimate goal.
He wanted to create a barrier that no one else could break.
After all, this barrier belongs to someone else.
Anyone who knows the method to break this barrier can do so.
The formations of barriers are generally based on the Five Elements, Tai Chi, and Bagua formations, supplemented by other methods to form a unique formation.
For example, the 'Five Poisons Eight Trigrams Seal' is based on the Eight Trigrams Formation, supplemented by the Five Poisons Formation.
In other words, even if you understand the Bagua Formation, if you don't understand the Five Poisons Formation, you still won't be able to break the barrier.
In this way, by combining different methods, one can create a barrier that belongs to oneself.
However, Li Yao did not want to create his own barrier in this way.
He wanted to create a completely new, non-existent main formation.
This is somewhat difficult, but the defensive effect is better.
Having experienced so many worlds, Li Yao has a good understanding of various formations, so it is not impossible for him to create a completely new formation.
Moreover, he can also develop his own understanding of various formations through the "Easy Formula of No Seeking".
After careful consideration, he quickly got some ideas.
Previously, he had created the Wuji Maha Kung Fu.
The name '摩诃' is derived from the Buddhist concept of '摩诃无量' (móhē wúliàng).
The term 'Wuji' is derived from the Taoist concept of Wuji.
Wuji, meaning boundless, endless, infinite, and without end, is the ultimate concept of the Tao.
Wuji is a state without a center point, where there are no boundaries.
This state is an endless 'chaos'!
Li Yao felt that this state of nothingness was very suitable for use as a barrier.
Previously, when he created the "Wuji Maha", he had conducted in-depth research on the concept of "Wuji".
Therefore, at this moment, he quickly incorporated the concept of 'Wuji' into the formation.
After repeated deductions and experiments.
Finally, he spent an hour creating a new formation: the Limitless Seal!
He then removed the "Five Poisons Eight Trigrams Seal" from the cave entrance.
Then, he formed the Wuji Mudra with both hands and cast a spell towards the cave entrance.
Buzz!
A golden streak of light flashed, and a very strange pattern appeared at the entrance of the cave.
The pattern features countless shooting stars that appear from time to time in different places, streak across the sky in different directions, and disappear in different places.
It's as if the pattern has no boundaries, no center point; a meteor could appear anywhere, and a meteor could disappear anywhere.
Moreover, meteors appear endlessly and disappear continuously.
This is the Wuji Seal!
Then, with a thought, Li Yao pointed at the barrier, and the Wuji Seal pattern immediately disappeared.
Then, he looked at the fire qilin on the side and a smile appeared on his face, "Little fire, try going into the cave again."
The fire qilin half-opened one eye, glanced at Li Yao, then closed it again, pretending not to hear, and continued to doze off.
Chapter 314 Five Disciples
Li Yao was speechless at the Fire Qilin's passive resistance.
This homebody, he's been fed and cared for so well, and now he dares to go on strike.
You're asking for it!
So, with a thought, Li Yao flicked his right hand, and the Overlord Spear instantly transformed into a long whip, which he swung in the air and cracked.
The fire qilin's large, lantern-like eyes opened instantly.
When it saw the long whip in Li Yao's hand, it was so frightened that it immediately stood up and obediently walked to the cave entrance.
However, this time it was much smarter. Instead of forcing its way in, it stretched out one of its front paws and reached for the seemingly empty void.
Buzz!
The moment the Fire Qilin's forepaws touched the invisible Boundless Seal, they were bounced back.
At the same time, a golden Wuji Seal pattern immediately appeared.
"It worked! Mission accomplished!"
Li Yao nodded in satisfaction.
Although he sealed the cave where the spiritual vein was located with a barrier.
