Chapter 617: Chapter 30 Starry Sky Gold_2
“I’ll give it a try.”
After a while, Yuan’s voice came again.
“No use, there’s no way to enter.”
Wang Sheng had anticipated this, so he wasn’t particularly surprised, but he still offered some words of comfort, “The virtual world isn’t really something special for you, anyway. If you truly want to experience it, then go and urge Li Xueqian to hurry up. Once the transfer device is ready, you can try out some interesting functions, like the communication platform.”
“Okay!”
The Planet Will also left, and not long after returning to his own laboratory to continue his research, Li Xueqian suddenly felt an odd sensation, as if his mother were urging him to complete the transfer station equipment as soon as possible.
“Why am I suddenly thinking this? Although I do want to finish it soon, this shouldn’t be the case… Could it be that the master is hinting at something?”
After puzzling over it for a short time, he tossed this ‘hot potato’ to Wang Sheng and then doubled down on his efforts to study the transfer device.
His previous direction of research, since the master said had potential, he left to his own student, who was also an excellent researcher.
Unaware that he was being blamed, Wang Sheng, after Li Xueqian and the Planet Will Yuan had left, began to close off the world and cultivate in seclusion.
The virtual world’s leaderboards not only made more cultivators active but also attracted many ordinary people who came to watch the excitement, and with the advancement of the Source Star, the creatures of the Source Star became even stronger.
The virtual world had now accumulated a substantial amount of pure spiritual power.
He intended to use this spiritual power to enhance his cultivation, and at the same time, refine his weapons, the Destruction Spear and the nine flying swords.
“Progress towards God and Body Integration can’t be rushed; it will grow on its own. In no more than ten years, I should reach Perfection, and as for cultivation, once God and Body Integration is complete, I should be able to enter the next realm, Refining God and Returning to Void…”
“Refining Qi into God. Primordial Spirit: 95%
God and Body Integration: 56%”
After repelling the Dao Sovereign, he had spent nearly two years recovering from his injuries, and then he dealt with all sorts of matters, but all these years he had not been neglecting his cultivation.
Both his realm progress and the progress of God and Body Integration had seen significant improvement.
“I wonder how much I can boost my cultivation level by digesting all the pure spiritual power accumulated by the Source Star over the past one or two years?”
Wang Sheng did not hesitate, consuming the pure spiritual power scattered by billions of beings like a Kunpeng emerging from the sea.
The vastness of this spiritual power was unparalleled, not even comparable to decades of accumulation, and he could clearly feel his Primordial Spirit improving.
A year later, in the New Calendar, Year 56, Wang Sheng had digested all of the pure spiritual power, but his expression was not very good.
“God and Body Integration, perfecting my cultivation system, but without complete integration, progress is indeed limited…”
“Refining Qi into God. Primordial Spirit: 97%”
To have increased by two percent in a year, and that in the final stages of progress, the speed could be regarded as extremely fast.
However, he also encountered a problem.
The integration of Primordial Spirit and body meant that both had to be elevated together.
If the integration were complete, it wouldn’t matter, but it was not truly unified yet. If he let one aspect get too far ahead, he wasn’t sure what problems it might cause, but he was certain it wouldn’t be good.
“It’s a pity that there’s no way to separate out pure Life Essence Qi; otherwise, I wouldn’t have to worry about this problem. I could enhance both at once and even promote the progress of God and Body Integration.”
Integration of the Primordial Spirit and the body is a result of maintaining a balance between Body Qi and Blood Cultivation and Inner Core Cultivation.
Therefore, he could not rashly break that balance.
Eventually, Wang Sheng sighed, “I had thought I could raise my cultivation to the peak of Refining Qi into God before achieving full God and Body Integration…”
Of course, he had his regrets, but there wasn’t much to feel sorry about.
After all, to break through Refining God and Returning to Void required the completion of God and Body Integration. Having seen the rate at which pure spiritual power improved Inner Core Cultivation, the remaining three percent progress was not much for him.
“In that case, let’s shift focus to nurturing my weapons…”
In the battle with the Dao Sovereign, the last earth-shattering strike that defeated the Dao Sovereign’s incarnation relied on the Destruction Spear and the Five Elements Sword Formation.
Whether it was the Destruction Spear or the main five swords of the Five Elements Sword Formation, both were taken from the “Blood Locust King,” a split form of the Seven Emotions Monarch killed by the Dao Sovereign.
At that time, the fact that the Seven Emotions Monarch, who was of the Eighth Realm, valued it so highly showed Wang Sheng the preciousness of that material.
After the battle with the Dao Sovereign, the strength of the material was further proven.
The most crucial point was that the material had not yet truly reached its limit.
“No matter the Black Dragon Spear or Flying Swords, they could still absorb metals and elevate their quality. Previously, it was merely that various metal materials had been absorbed to the extreme, making it difficult to continue enhancing. But now, things are different…”
“The advancement of Source Star brought more than just additional land, there were also various resources.”
Source Star had almost doubled in size, and the metal resources had increased substantially, including extremely rare metal resources.
Wang Sheng had long since had Huangtian prepare.
And Huangtian did not disappoint him, having delivered quite a bit continuously.
Originally, he planned to let the Destruction Spear and Flying Swords absorb during the breaks in his cultivation, but now he could fully concentrate on enhancing them.
“I wonder to what extent they can be enhanced… Previously, they could be used to battle the Ninth Realm. After enhancement, they will surely be even more astonishing…”
The Destruction Spear and Flying Swords had been elevated to such a state over decades and had survived battles with the Ninth Realm without destruction.
The materials absorbed were enormously vast.
If Wang Sheng had to search for them himself, it would require quite a bit of time.
But with Datong’s manpower and resources, all he needed to do was wait for the materials to be delivered to his doorstep.
And this time, with the advancement of Source Star, the new metal materials far exceeded Wang Sheng’s imagination.
Almost periodically, a large amount of metal resources would be brought to him.
Only after half a year did it start to diminish gradually.
By then, the aura of the Destruction Spear and Flying Swords alone had reached a terrifying level.
“Now, even without the enhancement of my power, just throwing them out could create a real Catastrophe!”
Wang Sheng held one of the Flying Swords, feeling somewhat emotional.
He had a total of nine Flying Swords, five of which were nurtured by the Five Internal Gods, forming the Five Elements Flying Swords, while the remaining four had been constantly refined.
The one he was holding was one of the other four Flying Swords that hadn’t been augmented with power.
Just the weakest four among his weapons could tear the sky asunder, and any cultivator who acquired them could truly be invincible among their peers.
“A hundred years ago, talking about Divine Weapons, Immortal Weapons seemed like just a dream…”
His weapons, in the hands of any cultivator from Datong, could rightly bear the name of Immortal Weapons.
He felt sentimental as jests turned into reality.
Of course, he was also very shocked inside.
For both the Destruction Spear and Flying Swords still had not reached their limits, they could still absorb.
“What on earth is this thing, not only absorbing everything but also showing almost no end to improvement… It’s completely unlike anything Source Star’s previous environment could have…”
Prior to this, the most precious treasure of Source Star might have been resources hidden within the Secret Realm, such as the Qi of Longevity.
But now, in comparison, the Qi of Longevity seemed insignificant next to these materials, which were extremely terrifying in amplifying the power of top-tier mighties.
“Yuan, come out and take a look, do you know what this is?”
Unable to figure it out, Wang Sheng chose to summon the Planet Will, perhaps he could get an answer.
Planet Will Yuan was indeed nearby.
After he appeared, Wang Sheng explained the essence of the materials to him, especially the ability to devour anything and the limitless enhancement potential.
Seeing the items, Yuan was also shocked.
[How do you have Starry Sky Gold?]
Clearly, Yuan knew about this material.
“You know about it?”
[Of course, this is the most top-level treasure in the starry sky, it’s rare not just on our planet, but even throughout the entire expanse of space!]
(Refining God and Returning to Void and the subsequent realms are mostly reduced to fragments of texts now, becoming more and more esoteric. I need to ponder them well. For now, I’ll use daily life to transition, while also filling in some gaps.)
