The space elevator issue has been resolved, and his skills in array formations have reached a basic level. Further refinement would require significantly more time, and his current level of array formations is sufficient for his needs.
Therefore, Li Xingkong did not plan to spend any more time on formations, but instead prepared to improve his cultivation level first.
After saying goodbye to Old Tang, Li Xingkong rushed back to his hometown, told his parents that he was going into seclusion again, and sent all the children back with him.
He went away for a few days to avoid the commotion, which made him feel better, but his parents couldn't stand the kids' antics. After all, even dogs hate 7-8 year old kids, so few people can tolerate them.
Li Xingkong himself had no idea how long this seclusion would last. This time, he planned to construct the remaining Hexagram to improve his energy conversion efficiency and nurture his Divine Sense.
Directly entering seclusion to the Late Foundation Establishment would be too difficult, but this time, reaching the Mid Foundation Establishment shouldn't be a problem.
After all, in Li Xingkong's view, all his cultivation so far has been done step by step, without encountering any bottlenecks. This is mainly because his foundation is too solid. Any bottlenecks in his cultivation are as easy as eating and drinking for him, and he doesn't even notice them.
After all the preparations were completed, Li Xingkong informed the Space Agency and then headed straight for the moon.
Although Li Xingkong could fly very fast on his sword within the atmosphere, atmospheric resistance meant there was a significant speed difference between flying on his sword and letting the sword fly on its own. However, once he broke through the atmosphere and entered space, his speed increased dramatically.
Before using the sword, it would take Li Xingkong about a week to get to the moon, but this time, with the sword-flying spell, he only took two days to reach the lunar surface.
This speed is faster than any current spacecraft. Even Voyager 1, launched decades ago, only traveled at Mach 50. Li Xingkong's current speed is obviously much faster than that.
However, even at this speed, it's nothing in the grand scheme of the universe. It takes two days to travel the distance between the Earth and the Moon, and it would be difficult to dominate the entire Solar System, let alone in such a large galaxy as the Milky Way.
This time on the moon, the scenery was clearly very different from before. Li Xingkong could feel it as soon as he flew near the lunar base.
For countless years, the lunar surface has been covered in silvery-white dust, but when Li Xingkong arrived near the base, he noticed from afar that the color here was distinctly different. In the vast expanse of silvery-white, a patch of green appeared.
Upon closer inspection, one could see vast expanses of Bone-Tempering Grass, modified by Li Xingkong. The Bone-Tempering Grass appeared to have been deliberately scattered across the lunar surface, growing haphazardly like a natural grassland.
But how could there be natural grasslands on the moon? These can only be seeds sown by humans that have now grown.
Following the vast expanse of green, Li Xingkong soon saw the buildings of the lunar base. During the time Li Xingkong had been away from Earth Star, several new buildings had been erected here, including one that was over ten meters tall.
Because there is no oxygen on the moon, the buildings here are different from those on Earth Star. Although all the buildings look similar to those on Earth Star, they have no external entrances. All the entrances and exits of the entire base are underground, and the underground area of the entire base is connected by various pipes and divided areas.
The base appears to consist of many buildings, but in reality, they are all integrated and isolated from the lunar surface. This ensures that everyone who lands on the moon can live comfortably within the base.
Of course, buildings are only the final guarantee. The people on the moon have basically started cultivating, and they started cultivating much earlier than the people on Earth Star. More people are able to travel on the lunar surface on their own. Apart from the batch that Li Xingkong modified, some people who cultivated faster later have also learned the relevant spells on their own. After mastering the Vacuum Technique, it is not a problem for them to jump around on the lunar surface.
When Li Xingkong flew over, there were more than a dozen people working on the ground outside the base, spraying something that looked like fertilizer while jumping around on the surface of the moon. The gravity here is weaker than on Earth Star, so people can jump higher. In addition, their physical condition has improved after cultivation, and most of them can jump dozens of meters high.
This is a completely new experience for many people, and also a way to overcome acrophobia.
Li Xingkong hadn't been gone for very long, only a little over a year. There were still many people in the base who recognized him, and they naturally rushed forward to welcome him when Li Xingkong returned.
After exchanging a few polite words with the people who came to greet him, Li Xingkong returned to his room in the lunar base.
In order to avoid being disturbed during his seclusion, Li Xingkong prepared to create several formations for himself before going into seclusion. The main purpose was to prevent others from disturbing him, including soundproofing and illusion formations.
The main point is that after going into seclusion, he will resolutely refuse to see anyone.
Li Xingkong could set up an array as complex as a space elevator, so this small array that only protected one corner of the room was naturally a piece of cake. Before long, a faint golden light appeared around Li Xingkong's room, enveloping the entire house.
This is the formation he prepared. As long as someone gets close and tries to find him, the formation will absorb all the sound and activate an illusion array to send the person away.
After all, cultivation is a major matter, and no one should disturb him in the face of such a matter.
Once the formation was set up, Li Xingkong's room was like a room lit up with colorful lights, with multicolored light shields appearing in every corner of the room, illuminating the entire room.
With the formation prepared, Li Xingkong sat cross-legged in the center of the room, where a futon had been prepared for him to use for meditation at any time.
This meditation cushion became Li Xingkong's place for cultivation. Although he could start cultivating in any posture, it was very uncomfortable for him to sit or lie down in other places instead of sitting in a proper seat.
The fact that futons have survived for so many years and are widely used by various religions proves that even in ancient times, they were a very relaxing piece of furniture.
