After reviewing the existing data once, Li Xingkong packaged it and sent it back.
Although the research progresses at different times, the major powers share the data collected on the front lines, since the universe is too vast and manpower is severely lacking.
No single entity dares to claim that it could complete this research on its own.
Cooperation is still necessary.
As for what those scholars would do with this data, Li Xingkong didn't know, but he had already figured out what the first step of his research would be.
Looking at the instruments around him, Li Xingkong's eyes lit up.
The first step in the research was naturally to simulate these detection instruments within one's own Hexagram, so as to integrate their functions and effects into one's own Divine Sense.
Whether in terms of scope or efficiency, no instrument can compare to Divine Sense. After all, all the information received by this thing is directly transmitted to the brain, saving the step of mechanical analysis. Li Xingkong gets raw data, so the effect is naturally different.
The process of inputting data into the instrument is quite tedious: analysis, decomposition, recombination, and then reconstruction.
Like an unscrupulous pirate, Li Xingkong transferred all the hard work of these other scholars into his own Divine Sense.
As Li Xingkong watched his Divine Sense probe every place, a dense stream of information returned to his mind, including a great deal of things he had never noticed before, he felt a great sense of accomplishment.
Learning is truly an addictive thing.
Especially since I approached learning with a mindset of taking stock of my spoils.
Having analyzed all the instruments in the entire laboratory, Li Xingkong was now a human-shaped comprehensive analyzer; wherever he went, it was as if the laboratory had been moved there as well.
"Finished with the research? Let's get to work."
As soon as Li Xingkong stepped out of the laboratory, he heard a familiar voice beside him.
How could he possibly forget?
Looking up, the person leaning against the wall was none other than Senior Wan Chongshan.
"Senior..."
Come to think of it, quite a while has passed since we last met. Ever since I embarked on my journey, she seems to have vanished without a trace.
The senior's actions were swift, leaving Li Xingkong with no way to speculate.
"What's wrong? You've been on vacation and gotten all sleepy? Do you remember why I called you?"
Wan Chongshan made a joke.
"Of course I remember, how could I forget?"
Li Xingkong nodded repeatedly.
"I should have come over the moment you broke through your cultivation, but seeing how these kids are struggling is quite amusing, so I was a little delayed."
Wan Chongshan smiled and took out a small golden ball from behind his back, weighed it in his hand, and then tossed it to Li Xingkong.
"Your teacher is quite interesting, but a little timid."
"Teacher?"
Li Xingkong was a little confused.
"It's me! You didn't even recognize me?"
The small golden ball in her hand swayed and transformed into a tiny human figure, looking just like a flower fairy.
"You are... the system?"
The voice was so familiar, so familiar that Li Xingkong couldn't believe it.
This was the first time he had ever seen the system in its true form.
"It's me, the great one..."
The system originally wanted to be arrogant, but upon catching a glimpse of Wan Chongshan's smug grin, it swallowed its arrogant tone.
"Ahem, it's me, it's definitely me."
"No, when did you..."
Li Xingkong had absolutely no idea when this guy had been rescued. Judging from the way Wan Chongshan was casually kneading him, she had clearly been playing with him for quite some time.
"Even horses make mistakes, and people make stumbles—oh no, I mean, I'm like a rat in a gutter."
The system trembled slightly; this guy really could manipulate it at will.
"This little thing may lack skills, but it's certainly good with its mouth."
Wan Chongshan smiled and stretched out his hand, pointing into the distance. A golden light entered Li Xingkong's mind.
"Now that you've achieved the Golden Core stage, it's time to get to work. Each of these places represents a coordinate in a parallel world. Go there, clean it up, okay?"
"As my predecessors said, I would gladly die a thousand deaths."
Li Xingkong nodded solemnly.
"Pfft, running away when you can't win? Do I have to teach you that? If you die, where am I supposed to find another one?"
Wan Chongshan was amused by his serious expression.
"Remember, not all clones are willing to come back. Don't be fooled."
"Senior, how do I get to the coordinates indicated?"
Li Xingkong glanced at the coordinates quickly. He could understand them, after all, he had learned the Thousand Mountains Method, but being able to see them didn't mean he could get there.
"Don't rush, your instruments are analyzing things perfectly. Let's memorize the information about this universe first."
Wan Chongshan reached out and gently tapped Li Xingkong on the head. Li Xingkong felt his Divine Sense erupt like a volcano.
The vast and mighty Divine Sense rapidly expanded outwards, reaching a distance that Li Xingkong didn't know how far.
He seemed to see the Zerg's prison, the World Wall, the Moon-Grasping Ball arena he had never been to, and even a vast, unknown galaxy.
The next moment, everything he saw and heard was gathered back into Li Xingkong's mind.
A special attribute appeared in Li Xingkong's Divine Sense.
Name of the universe.
"Alright, now that we have the anchor point for the main universe, you'll be able to distinguish between different universes when you travel to others."
As his Divine Sense contracted, a new cultivation technique was transmitted into Li Xingkong's mind.
The technique has a simple name: Chasing Light.
Its effect is even simpler than its simple name suggests.
Wherever the eye falls, we arrive instantly.
Judging from the literal meaning, the effect of this technique may not be that good, and it may even be achievable only at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages.
However, the phrase "within sight" does not refer to the area of vision, but rather to the literal meaning of what the eye can see.
By glancing at a photograph, one can instantly jump to the location of the landscape depicted in the photo.
Hearing someone shout "The misty rain descends upon Jiangnan," one can immediately reach Jiangnan.
Even if you see something described in the book that corresponds to something in reality, you can skip directly to it.
This completely ignores all particles, space, and even the physical laws of reality, truly achieving the state where the body arrives the moment a thought arises.
Using this escape technique, combined with the coordinates sent by Wan Chongshan, Li Xingkong could jump between parallel universes.
The cultivation technique was so powerful that Li Xingkong felt like he'd been given a windfall. To receive such a powerful technique so easily was truly impressive; he was a real big shot.
