Each "Divine Pattern" is like a chain of divine iron, coiling above the golden Bitter Sea; this is the primitive form condensed from life essence.
After a cultivator opens the Bitter Sea, they can refine these Divine Patterns into various weapon shapes, which can be released from the body to slay enemies, proving far more effective than raw Divine Patterns.
A very small number of cultivators, unafraid of complexity and profound mystery, repeatedly temper their Divine Patterns, refining them into tripods, bells, towers, and the like, which can unleash all manner of mysterious powers.
Such vessels may undergo unexpected changes in the later stages, weaving the trajectories of the Dao within themselves, possessing unfathomable might.
Of course, the probability of this is extremely low; only those cultivators with innate talent and immense strength might have such an encounter.
The more complex and profound the vessel refined from primitive Divine Patterns, the greater its power.
For shapes like tripods, bells, and towers, the hope of weaving the trajectories of the Dao within them is relatively higher.
Naturally, the more complex the vessel, the harder it is to form; one might spend endless energy and time without even tempering a basic outline, wasting years in vain.
Moreover, even if one succeeds by luck, it is difficult to reap rewards when cultivating to the later stages.
Above the Bitter Sea of Li Qingxu, his vessel possesses only a vague outline; it remains unformed, no larger than a palm.
Generally speaking, in the four great realms of Bitter Sea, Life Spring, Divine Bridge, and Other Shore, one can refine a vessel in each realm.
However, the most powerful "vessel" is one forged by uniting all four realms.
This is the so-called "great vessels take time to mature"; once successful, one vessel can break ten thousand laws, and once his flower blooms, all other flowers shall wither.
The more profound and complex the "vessel," the harder it is to form, as they contain the "Dao" and "Principles" of heaven and earth.
Li Qingxu is not in a hurry; in the Wheel Sea Secret Realm, he only needs to focus on tempering.
Furthermore, to refine his former protective vessel back into existence, the resources of Earth alone are completely insufficient.
Especially the Ultimate Dao materials; these are the most troublesome.
However, as long as he gains the recognition of the universe's origin will and accepts the irrigation of the laws bestowed by the cosmic will, refining the vessel will be no problem.
Since the supreme rules allowed him to enter, he should also be able to receive the irrigation of the universe's fundamental laws.
As for the laws of time and space, he has his own methods.
He uses the Void Emperor to study the laws of space and the Secret of Movement to study the laws of time.
A night passed, accompanied by the rising of the morning sun on the horizon.
On the peak of the small mountain, Li Qingxu opened his eyes, and a beam of divine light shot out, shattering a large tree in front of him.
As expected, one must combine combat with cultivation; relying solely on sitting in meditation, the realm cannot improve this quickly.
He could clearly sense that in a few more days, he would be able to break through to the Life Spring Realm.
Here in the deep mountains and wilderness, he did not know where he had arrived, as if he had lost his way.
The only thing he carried with him was a mobile phone.
Yet, the phone had already been destroyed during the battle with the Black Gold Ape.
Without map navigation, he could only move in one direction.
After walking for several hours in the deep mountains and wilderness, at noon, the outline of a county town gradually appeared before his eyes.
"Finally found it."
Li Qingxu stood on the top of a large tree, looking at the small city in the distance, a flash of joy appearing in his eyes.
Immediately, he tapped his toes, and his figure instantly shot out, disappearing from where he stood.
After speeding along for another half hour, he arrived at this county town.
Over the course of this hundred-kilometer journey, he had only killed a few dozen monsters, and almost all of them were at the Beast Soldier level.
They hadn't even given him a chance to warm up his body.
But it was different inside the county town.
In the long war between monsters and humans, the monsters discovered that if they lived in open, desolate areas without cover, then human armies and human martial artists could lock onto them from long distances, using heavy sniper rifles or even missiles to conduct long-range attacks!
However, in the urban area, there are numerous buildings.
As long as the monsters hide in densely built-up areas, sniper rifles have little chance, unless the snipers enter the city itself.
And once the human army enters the city to engage in street fighting with the monsters, the monsters gain a massive advantage.
Densely built-up areas are a paradise for monsters.
"You wicked beasts, I need you to assist my cultivation!"
Li Qingxu took a step, and with a boom, the concrete ground shattered.
His figure was like a golden stream of light, with phantom afterimages emerging.
Not far in front of him, there were no fewer than fifty bovine monsters.
The most conspicuous among them was a monster five meters in size, with shimmering fur, shaped like a rhinoceros.
"Roar!"
In an instant, the roars of beasts echoed continuously throughout the area.
As the days passed, Li Qingxu took root in this county town.
The vast number of monsters within the town suffered greatly as a result.
Li Qingxu was like a slaughtering machine that never exhausted its stamina; as soon as the morning sun rose, his figure would wander through the town, killing every monster he encountered.
Furthermore, he only cared about the killing, not even glancing at the valuable parts of the monster carcasses.
When evening arrived, he would casually find a high-rise building, sit cross-legged on the rooftop, and absorb cosmic energy.
On the very first day he entered the town, he had killed nearly five hundred monsters, among which there was no shortage of intermediate-level beast generals.
Early the next morning, Li Qingxu awoke from his meditative state and leaped down from the twentieth floor of the high-rise.
Accompanied by a thunderous crash upon landing, the shrieks of a monster horde erupted instantly.
His white training suit had long since been dyed a deep crimson by beast blood, as if he were wearing a suit of blood!
"Captain, I think I see Li Qingxu!"
"He's fighting a group of monsters!"
On the rooftop of a high-rise in this county town, the four members of the Eagle Predator Squad were taking a temporary rest.
One of the members was holding binoculars, keeping watch and scouting for high-level monsters.
"Who? Li Qingxu?"
Upon hearing that name, Xiao Qi was clearly stunned.
He then took out his own binoculars and looked toward the street the team member had pointed out.
"It really is him!"
Shock instantly appeared in Xiao Qi's eyes.
A warrior-level martial artist had actually come alone from the supply base to a county town hundreds of kilometers away to fight a group of soldier-level monsters.
Moreover, he was doing so without wearing a combat suit, bare-handed, and without any supply of resources.
If this were told to anyone, they probably wouldn't believe it.
"Wait, no!"
Xiao Qi immediately noticed something wrong.
That group of monsters wasn't just soldier-level; the two leading them were clearly intermediate-level beast general Bloodthirsty Tanks!
He was actually not a warrior-level, but an eighteen-year-old intermediate-level war general.
At this moment, he finally understood why the supervisor had felt at ease letting Li Qingxu enter the Wilderness Zone alone.
In his field of vision, Li Qingxu, clad in his blood-stained clothes, moved like a god of death, weaving through a horde of over a hundred monsters.
Despite the narrowness of the street, the attacks of the hundred-plus monsters failed to land a single hit on him.
Several times, Xiao Qi felt certain that Li Qingxu would be struck by the monsters, yet he managed to dodge every time, brushing past their claws by a hair's breadth.
Furthermore, he was able to counterattack in the gaps between his dodges; with just a single punch, the skull of a monster would explode.
The scene was utterly blood-soaked, with monster heads blooming like red fireworks throughout the street.
