Although Li Xingkong's Divine Sense had a wide range, in this vast asteroid belt, he was still like a fish in the ocean, only able to explore a small area.
Fortunately, Li Xingkong is very patient when it comes to picking up trash, if nothing else.
During this time, Li Xingkong wanted to bring many strange asteroids back to Earth Star. Some had special structures, some had unusual compositions, and some were simply beautiful.
There's a reason why the ancients were so fascinated by unusual stones; these things come in all shapes and sizes, and there's bound to be one that touches your heart.
Even though Li Xingkong's main goal was to find a planet with a high water content, he still packed quite a few smaller asteroids into his Space Bag.
After slowly exploring the entire asteroid belt and collecting trash for over a month, Li Xingkong finally found a giant asteroid.
It is entirely composed of ice, and in addition to a large amount of ice, it also contains some glittering minerals.
Even when Li Xingkong probed with his Divine Sense, he discovered some dormant microorganisms within this large block of ice.
He didn't know much about microorganisms, but judging from the structure and cellular composition of these microorganisms, they shared the same origin as existing life forms on Earth Star.
Either this thing came from Earth Star, or it and Earth Star life originated from the same place, but the microorganisms on Earth Star were lucky to have a naturally nurtured environment, while it was less fortunate.
Li Xingkong estimated the size of the meteorite; it was indeed quite large. Judging from its water content alone, it was roughly equivalent to the total amount of fresh water currently existing on Earth Star.
It's important to know that while Earth Star has a lot of water, fresh water is actually very scarce; most of it is undrinkable seawater.
However small the amount, this much water is sufficient for the initial transformation of Venus.
Now that he had found what he was looking for, Li Xingkong didn't linger in the Kuiper Belt any longer. After all, the asteroid belt was right there, and it wasn't going anywhere. He would have plenty of time to scavenge for trash here later.
Withdrawing his Divine Sense and enveloping it entirely on the large asteroid, Li Xingkong slightly exerted his Magic Power and noticed that the asteroid swayed a few times before being pulled along by his Divine Sense.
Originally, the Divine Sense of the Foundation Establishment Stage was mainly for exploration, and the strength of manipulation and control was somewhat insufficient. But now it seems that the Divine Sense of the Golden Core Stage has also made great progress in terms of strength. Using the Divine Sense to push such a large meteorite, there is no feeling of effort at all.
Even the golden core within Li Xing's air sea remained unchanged, its power unaffected.
Clearly, this was not Li Xingkong's full strength.
Dragging the enormous meteorite, Li Xingkong began his return journey towards Venus.
Carrying such a huge thing, Li Xingkong had tried to Earth-Traversing Golden Light, but unfortunately, only he himself could transform into golden light, while the huge thing he carried with his Divine Sense remained in place.
It seems my cultivation level is not high enough; the golden light can only cover my body, and no more than that.
Fortunately, this meteorite is an inanimate object. Li Xingkong doesn't need to watch over it. He just needs to give it an acceleration force according to the predetermined trajectory so that it can fly forward along the predetermined route.
Li Xingkong could have gone ahead and waited for it at the designated destination.
Meteorites travel very slowly, or rather, in the grand scheme of space, any speed seems insufficient; even the speed of light pales in comparison to the boundless universe.
While waiting for the meteorite to reach its designated location, Li Xingkong didn't intend to be idle.
Since we're already here, and in space, we might as well take this opportunity to think about what spells we should prepare for our Golden Core Stage.
There's no need to prepare escape spells anymore. No spell at the Golden Core Stage is as convenient as the Earth-Traversing Golden Light. This thing is fast, consumes little energy, and ignores all kinds of restrictions. It's simply the best.
We could use one offensive and one defensive spell as well.
Besides offense and defense, it's also worth considering adding more supportive spells.
Originally, he thought these spells had little to do with cultivation and their effects were rather limited. However, after further developing the Thick Earth City Fortification Technique, Li Xingkong felt that these spells also had their merits and could be used in many situations.
Moreover, once you reach the Golden Core Stage, you can begin to cultivate some more practical auxiliary spells, such as the ability to create avatars, clones, and puppets, which are no longer difficult.
The total number of spells available at the Golden Core Stage is much less than at previous stages, after all, the total number of Golden Core is much smaller than at previous stages.
With a smaller population, there will naturally be fewer spells created.
Although there are few of them, each spell is incredibly powerful in terms of its effects and capabilities. Basically, it can be said that almost every spell cast by a Golden Core Stage cultivator is useless.
After all, at the Golden Core Stage, spells are meant to compete with supernatural powers; spells that are too weak have no reason to be passed down.
Li Xingkong planned to start with offensive spells.
Now, Li Xingkong possesses profound Divine Sense and a solid foundation. He has also broken free from his dependence on Spiritual Qi. Even within a cultivation civilization, he would be considered a Golden Core cultivator with an exceptional foundation. Therefore, his considerations regarding spells are naturally quite different from before.
Consumption is not a concern; high offensive power and wide range are desirable, ideally with some ability to counter various tactics.
This is what Li Xingkong needs for magic right now.
Based on Li Xingkong's needs, the system retrieved several offensive spells from the cultivation technique library. Of course, in addition to spells, several supernatural abilities that could be cultivated were also listed.
Li Xingkong glanced at the spells provided by the system and had to admit that, judging from the descriptions of their effects alone, these Golden Core Stage spells were far superior to those of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
There aren't many spells, only two.
One is an upgraded version of the Sword Control Technique, the Ten Thousand Swords Art.
Not only has the number of swords increased, but the attack range and speed of spells have also been greatly improved, and even the concept of a sword has been greatly expanded.
In this spell, a sword is a sword, a knife is a sword, a stick-shaped object can be a sword, a spherical object can also be a sword, metal, rock, and soil can all be swords.
Li Xingkong looked left and right, but only discerned a small part of the Ten Thousand Swords Art.
The term "sword" here encompasses everything; anything you can wield can be a sword.
According to current human understanding, this Ten Thousand Swords Art Technique is a spell that pushes kinetic energy weapons to their limits.
From beginning to end, it tells the story of how to utilize everything around us and transform it into super momentum weapons that can be controlled by Divine Sense, carrying various sword winds composed of magic to deliver a devastating blow to the opponent.
The so-called "ten thousand swords" is not a fixed number; it depends on an individual's Divine Sense power and computing power. The stronger the Divine Sense and the higher the computing power, the more swords one can control at the same time.
The other attack spell is called Space-Severing Slash.
It is a spell that applies spatial techniques to attack, ignoring the physical properties of objects and Severance them at the spatial level.
This attack is neither a physical attack nor a magical attack, because it never attacks the target itself, but rather the space in which the target is located.
There are many uses for it. It can be used to directly attack enemy positions, or it can be used to Severance space and send cultivators into positions that cannot be breached from the front, bypassing various physical or energy-based shields.
