I Have A Cultivation World - Chapter 864 - 864 484 The Portal Opens_2
Chapter 864: Chapter 484: The Portal Opens_2 Chapter 864: Chapter 484: The Portal Opens_2 The Power of Void within the Void Stones, after countless years of nurture by the earth, had become very gentle and controllable, much like the fine sand by the sea, and thus could be easily absorbed and condensed.
However, the Power of Void that emerged from the opening of a Portal was entirely different—it was purely the result of using the tremendous power of a Supreme Treasure to crush space into pervasive and scattered Void Fragments.
But there were benefits to this as well, as it made it easier for Foundation Establishment Practitioners to perceive.
After all, compared to a grain of sand, a piece of broken stone is certainly easier to find.
Even so, those who could achieve this feat were among the crème de la crème of the cultivators at Foundation Establishment Completion.
The last time the Portal opened, those who sensed the Power of Void were Xiahou Weihuan, Tao Mingqing, Lou Fengcheng, and others from the Jumang Academy during a Magic Duel, who were only second to Chen Mobai.
After his Divine Sense left his body, Chen Mobai immediately used his extensive experience to detect the Void Fragments that had infiltrated the wooden hut.
After perceiving the Void, the next step was to shatter these Void Fragments into the most primal Space Power and then use one’s Divine Sense to reconstruct and create a Golden Core Domain unique to oneself.
Having recalled these steps and the process in his mind, Chen Mobai began to attempt shattering the Void.
He actually had some Void Stones in his Storage Bag, and if he could not achieve this step, he would use the Power of Void within those stones as a substitute and skip it outright.
After all, when it comes to forming and condensing the Golden Core Domain, the Portal would be the one exerting the main effort.
Establishing a Golden Core Domain is, in fact, a Rank-4 technique within the Immortal Gate, which is exceedingly difficult for these Foundation Establishment Practitioners to perform.
As long as they can control the minimum requirements of Divine Sense to trigger the Void Power during this process, they can guide the power of this Immortal Sect’s Treasure to help them in their condensation and creation.
It was also for this day that Chen Mobai only condensed three spines of the All Laws Persona, preserving enough Void Stones.
Quality steel should be used to make the blade’s edge, and the same goes for Void Stones.
However, Chen Mobai still wanted to try on his own first to see if he could rely on his own strength to shatter the Void Fragments and master sufficient Power of Void.
He released his Divine Sense, at Ninth Layer Foundation Establishment, into the shape of a blooming Biyu Wutong phantom, extending branches to capture the Void Fragment closest to him inside the wooden hut.
Then, using the method taught by the Portal Administration, he began to oscillate his Divine Sense at various frequencies.
The Void, though mysterious, has its own frequency, and if Divine Sense can resonate with it, then at the moment of resonance, it will shatter it into the True Void.
This “Void Shattering Technique” was also a technique with a barrier in the Immortal Gate, downloadable only after the Portal Administration opened access permissions.
However, even if ordinary cultivators acquired it, they could hardly ever master it.
Because even the Void Fragments left from a shattered Portal might not be successfully shattered by even a cultivator at Foundation Establishment Completion, let alone the complete and unified Void of heaven and earth.
After acquiring this Void Shattering Technique, Chen Mobai had pondered over it for a long time and knew it like the back of his hand. When he finally captured a Void Fragment, he fully exerted his Divine Sense, thinking it would be easy to accomplish.
Unexpectedly, after stimulating his Divine Sense to oscillate, it took a full half hour to completely shatter the first Void Fragment into Void Power under his control.
Moreover, after shattering this Void Fragment, Chen Mobai felt that his Divine Sense had been depleted by as much as thirty percent.
Divine Sense is not like Spiritual Power which can be quickly restored using Spirit Stones, Spiritual Energy, Spiritual Water, and so forth.
While the Immortal Gate does have some Elixirs that can restore Divine Sense, each one is exceedingly precious. The value of just pulling one out is probably not less than that of a Small Barrier Breaking Elixir.
Furthermore, such elixirs are rarely used; even a Golden Core Master, after expending Divine Sense, would rather meditate and recover slowly than consume an elixir.
This is because there have been scholarly papers in the Immortal Gate stating that frequent consumption of Divine Sense-related Elixirs could affect the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, potentially leaving behind issues that make future breakthroughs more difficult with more solid bottlenecks.
Which means that, with the capacity of Chen Mobai’s Divine Sense, he could, at most, shatter three Void Fragments in a day.
And if his Divine Sense was fully spent, meditating for a day and a night would probably only restore about twenty to thirty percent at most.
And this Portal would only stay open for a month.
Within this month, whether one could perceive and capture enough Void Fragments, and then shatter them into controllable Space Power, was of utmost importance.
Chen Mobai estimated that he could probably shatter about fifteen Void Fragments within this month.
But would that be enough?
He had once asked this question at the Portal Administration Office, but the teacher lecturing at that time told him to just go ahead and shatter, to condense, the more the better.
For Foundation Establishment Practitioners, even for a Golden Core Master like Wen Ren Xuewei, the important thing was to put in their best effort in this task.
Because in the history of the Immortal Sect, many who had successfully opened their Golden Core Domain had only just barely crossed that threshold.
Chen Mobai was naturally not satisfied with this answer, but he also feared that asking too much might expose him.
Fortunately, he now had a reference point.
He drew the pure cluster of Space Power that he had shattered into existence before his eyes, then activated his All Laws Persona, carefully refining this Space Power into one of his silver, transparent vertebrae.
After a long time, he opened his eyes, stood up with a look of relief on his face, and stretched lazily.
This cluster of Space Power was approximately equivalent to one-seventh of a Void Stone.
And he still had 23 pieces in his storage bag.
Using about 13 pieces, along with pretending to shatter some Void Fragments, adding up to an equivalent of shattering a hundred pieces, should certainly trigger the Portal to open the Golden Core Domain.
While planning this, Chen Mobai thought that shattering a hundred Void Fragments might be a bit too many?
But he immediately recalled his persona within the Immortal Sect as someone with the Qualification of Deification, so such an accomplishment wouldn’t seem exaggerated.
It would serve to consolidate his persona while laying the groundwork, so that when he later formed his Golden Core without the help of Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine, this would be seen by the Immortal Sect as natural.
Having settled his plans, Chen Mobai captured two more Void Fragments, and just as his Divine Sense was about to be exhausted, he barely managed to shatter them successfully, turning them into two small clusters of pure Space Power.
Afterward, Chen Mobai didn’t sit and meditate tirelessly like others to recover his Divine Sense as much as possible.
Instead, he directly took a pillow out of his storage bag, lit a Soothing Incense, and promptly fell asleep.
He slept for three days and nights, and when he woke up, he felt his Divine Sense had mostly recovered.
After yawning, Chen Mobai once again lazily captured Void Fragments.
…
“It should be about enough,” according to Senior Lan Haitian’s words, “he used Yuan Magnetic Force to shatter forty-nine Void Fragments, successfully summoning the Portal. But he felt that probably thirty-six clusters of Space Power would suffice to successfully open the Golden Core Domain.”
Taishi Shu, feeling the thirty-eight clusters of Space Power under her control, showed a rare smile on her pale face.
The Yuan Magnetic Force of the Six Dominions Scripture has an exceptional bonus for shattering the Void. Although she had only perfected one of the Six Dominions and was not as good as Lan Haitian who fused the two poles of Yuan Magnet, she was still far ahead of other cultivators of the same rank in the process.
By Taishi Shu’s estimation, her achievement, even compared with a Golden Core Master like Wen Ren Xuewei, wouldn’t be too far off.
After all, Lasting Spring Cultivation specializes in delaying time and prolonging life.
“Once I successfully open it and integrate the Golden Core Domain, I can take the Yuan Magnetic Force of the Six Dominions Scripture to the next level. Then I can look for Chen Mobai for a challenge and help the Kunpeng Daoist Institute regain its number one spot,” Taishi Shu wiped the sweat from her forehead, but in her heart, she had already envisioned the scene of her challenging and defeating Chen Mobai, and a sly smile of satisfaction appeared on her lips.
