Yang Ning's Ambition to Refine the Sun
Within his dantian, a misty golden elixir floated on an ocean, rising and falling like a planet in a sea of stars.
Upon closer inspection, one can discover that this star is not an illusion, but rather a creation similar to Atomic Nucleus, with the Seed of Divine Ability as its bone and Law Power as its blood.
The "gold" in "golden elixir" signifies immortality; therefore, the golden elixir is not necessarily golden in color. It is related to the Divine Ability cultivated by the practitioner.
For example, those who cultivate demonic Cultivation Method typically have black golden cores.
Those who cultivate water- Cultivation Method typically have a blue golden core.
As one's cultivation level increases and the Nine Revolutions of Core Formation, the color of the golden elixir will become increasingly darker, changing from light blue to Deep Blue, from light red to dark red, from grayish-black to dark black, and so on.
Of all the golden pills in the world, gray ones are quite rare, especially this gray one, which seems to be somewhere between white and black. You don't know whether it will turn pure white or pure black when Nine Revolutions of Core Formation.
Or perhaps, pure gray?
This is Yang Ning's Golden Core, a Golden Core condensed using the Way of the Nightmare Immortal.
From then on, Yang Ning no longer needed to actively cultivate any Divine Ability Cultivation Method. With each rotation of his golden core, he could cultivate all the Divine Ability engraved on it once.
This is why Lin Tianheng, a Golden Core Stage cultivator, would wander around outside. As long as Golden Core Stage cultivator has enough resources on him, he doesn't need to sit in seclusion in his cave abode.
The Golden Core Stage is also a stage where Qi Refining cultivators have reached the pinnacle of their combat power. Therefore, in Taiheng, there is a custom of traveling around after advancing to the Golden Core Stage, hunting down demonic cultivators, and challenging powerful elders.
Yang Ning had no intention of going out and having fun; instead, he focused on mastering his new abilities.
All his Divine Ability Power and Lawful Nightmare Power were integrated and transformed into Golden Core Method.
A gray, ominous force.
And the effect of this power
Yang Ning quickly became familiar with, mastered, and even summarized the techniques.
First, the inherent abilities of the Lawful Nightmare Power: Erosion and Control.
This power can corrupt all things. Once corrupted, the creatures and objects will fall under Yang Ning's control, and he can even put those objects into an overlimit state.
For example, if a Golden Core Stage cultivator is corrupted, under Yang Ning's control, he can unleash strength surpassing that of Golden Core Stage.
For example, if a gun is corroded, it can fire without bullets, and its power, range, and accuracy will be greatly improved.
Second, the abilities of various Divine Ability Power.
His Lawful Nightmare Power can replace various Divine Ability Power, unleashing a variety of Divine Ability, and can also unleash multiple Divine Ability at once.
He can even make the Golden Core Method burn while freezing, and sink while evaporating.
These seemingly contradictory phenomena can be perfectly harmonized and unified under the influence of Nightmare Energy.
Third, physical modification
Each time the Golden Elixir completes one rotation, its Golden Core Method will cleanse and refine the body.
His body was once that of an ordinary cultivator, but after the Nightmare Immortal Golden Core was formed, his body began to transform into Nightmare Energy creature.
There is no difference in appearance because Nightmare Energy is actually a type of energy that cannot be observed with the naked eye.
Just like cause and effect, or destiny, you can't see it unless you cultivate the corresponding Divine Ability.
But Yang Ning clearly felt that his control over the Nightmare Energy's erosion of creation had become much stronger, as if he used to use chopsticks and now he was grabbing things with his hands.
Moreover, the speed of erosion and the intensity of exceeding limits have both increased significantly. I wonder if this is because of the improvement in cultivation level or because the body has been modified?
After familiarizing himself with his own strength, Yang Ning immediately began to ponder: what benefits would the improvement in his cultivation level bring him, and how much more could he do?
For example
"This is a Purple Heart Stone, and the outer shell is a mineral containing spatial energy." Yang Ning infused it with his own Law Power, and then a mysterious feeling arose.
It felt as if I was holding a sponge, not a stone.
Among the countless stone particles are countless seemingly empty cavities, but in reality, something truly exists within them.
"Space Element???" Yang Ning searched for relevant descriptions in the Taiheng classics.
This is an essential element for using the Meso-Sumeru Technique, and also an essential energy for cultivating Space-based Divine Abilities.
Unfortunately, this energy can only be perceived at the Spiritual Law Realm Third Level Inner Scenery Realm, and absorbed and utilized at the Spiritual Law Realm Fourth Level Cosmic Constancy Realm.
Qi Refining Stage cultivators can only utilize the Purple Heart Stone through its development; direct absorption? Don't even think about it!
But now, using his evolved Nightmare Sage Power, he has successfully captured Space Element!
"Why is it impossible before the Golden Core Stage, but possible after the Golden Core Stage?" Yang Ning didn't get excited right away; instead, he started to study this question.
Does this mean that those at the Golden Core Stage can actually control spatial energy?
"Oh, so some Divine Ability also utilize minute amounts of Space Element."
Yang Ning understood.
Many Divine Ability are related to space, but not many.
However, when these Divine Ability accumulate and come together, the amount of Space Element they can shake becomes enormous.
This quantitative change eventually led to a qualitative change, allowing Yang Ning to perceive the Space Element.
In physics, there is also the concept of Space Particle. This theory holds that space should also be composed of particles, and the smallest scale of Space Particle is Planck Constant.
The reason why photons can teleport in spacetime is that they move within Space Particle. Space Particle have length but no time. Therefore, although a photon undergoes spatial displacement from one side to the other, the time required is zero.
This was supposed to be a theory from the Age of Dharma Decline, but in this world, Yang Ning discovered that this theory might actually be true!
Because he could truly sense the existence of Space Particle, and he could also Law Power to interfere with the activities of Space Particle.
After all, photons are smaller than Space Particle, but Spiritual Qi particles are even smaller than Space Particle. Using Spiritual Qi to interfere with photons is like using a person to push a large truck; although difficult, it is not impossible.
By compressing Space Particle, a large amount of space can be contained in an extremely small space; this is the principle behind Meso-Sumeru technology.
Expanding Space Particle can magnify extremely small spaces to extremely large scales; some Ruyi Divine Weapon utilize this principle.
By continuously compressing and expanding space, one can achieve the goal of shrinking a space to an inch.
By arranging Space Particle and constructing a channel, spatial movement, or teleportation, can be achieved.
Without moving oneself, one can move faster than the speed of light by shifting the space beside one's body—this is the Warp Drive!
In an instant, Yang Ning thought of countless ways to apply space and completed the theoretical derivation.
However, when it came to putting it into practice, he encountered difficulties because he possessed abilities that should have been available at the third level of the Spiritual Law Realm, but were already present at the Supernatural Power Realm Seventh Level.
It exists, but its strength is too low; it's like a small horse pulling a large cart—it's fuel-inefficient and exhausting!
Fortunately, science is all about making good use of external resources. If one's own power is insufficient, then one can set up formations, create Rune Chip, and mobilize the power of heaven and earth!
What is the greatest natural force in the world?
Yang Ning looked up. Although the cave was still above him, it didn't stop him from seeing the brilliant sun in the sky through the thick layers of ice!
So, did the Nightmare Tribulation of that year only erode one world? Why didn't it also erode the sun?
What would it mean if I could erode the sun?
Does this mean I've refined the sun?
