"This Five-Color Divine Light is indeed quite interesting."
The spectacle enveloped in Divine Light seemed to have become like putty; with just a thought from Li Xingkong Li Xingkong, it changed shape according to his idea.
Another beam of Divine Light shot out, and the spectacle was sent out from within the Divine Light, its size increasing dramatically before it landed back in its original spot, untouched.
The changes caused by Li Xingkong's thoughts directly impacted the spectacle, amplifying it several times over.
As expected of the Five Elements Dao, almost everything in the world, except for immortals, exists without the attributes of the Five Elements.
After retracting the improved supernatural power into his body, Li Xingkong took out another ball of light, which was the Thick Earth City Fortification Technique.
Although this method is not an offensive spell, it has endless uses in Li Xingkong's hands, and its effect is no less than that of several supernatural powers.
From reshaping planets and engraving grand formations to imprinting buildings and replicating technological products, this spell in Li Xingkong's hands is practically the hand of God; he can accomplish anything he desires.
Although this upgrade was just for fun, Li Xingkong didn't hold back at all.
Li Xingkong elevated it from a spell to a supernatural power.
During his Golden Core Stage, Li Xingkong felt that spells and supernatural powers were completely different things; one was like an active skill, and the other was like a passive one.
But in Li Xingkong's view now, so-called magic is actually the prototype of supernatural powers.
Supernatural powers can be considered mature forms of magic, representing the final stage of the development and evolution of magic.
They are actually the same thing.
From the perspective of an immortal, many things that were previously unclear are now clearly visible.
The reason why spells consume so much energy and are far less powerful than supernatural powers lies largely in the communication with immortals.
When it is still in the spellcasting stage, each time a spell is cast, a message requesting the use of the spell must be sent to the immortal, and the energy consumed in sending this message back and forth must be provided by the spellcaster himself.
The more complex the spell, the more immortals need to be summoned, and the greater the Magic Power consumed.
But supernatural powers are different. Once you cultivate supernatural powers, you directly obtain a visa-free permit and can use them at will without having to go through the access authorization process.
Without this step, the amount of Magic Power consumed is greatly reduced. Combined with the cultivator's own Magic Power recovery speed, it gives the impression that supernatural powers are far stronger than spells.
Li Xingkong elevated this Thick Earth City Fortification Technique to a great supernatural power.
Combining the inexhaustible energy of the Golden Core with the boundless computational power gained after becoming an immortal, this supernatural ability has been upgraded to " Manipulation of Creation ".
This is a great supernatural power that created the world and gave birth to all things.
Although Li Xingkong could create a world within his own body even without this supernatural ability, the personal world he created would be quite different from the universe he created using this supernatural ability.
With a thought, Li Xingkong teleported, and the next moment, he appeared at the pond below the Jade Void Palace, connecting to the Cosmic Sea.
Reaching out from a nearby tree, Li Xingkong plucked a leaf and held it in his hand.
As the workings of Manipulation of Creation, a golden light slowly enveloped the entire leaf, while countless subtle changes were simultaneously taking place within the leaf.
Soon, the leaf in Li Xingkong's hand seemed to melt away, turning into a small ball.
Li Xingkong gently tossed the small ball into the pond, and it sank to the bottom with a plop, just like a pebble.
The small ball sank rapidly along the Cosmic Sea, and after reaching a very, very deep depth, a burst of Magic Power erupted from within it, and a massive explosion began.
The light emanating from the small sphere did not dissipate; instead, it began to expand rapidly under the power of the explosion.
This layer of light is clearly the Power of Creation that Li Xingkong has mastered.
A newborn universe.
A universe indistinguishable from naturally occurring ones was born from nothing.
Li Xingkong witnessed all of this, and only when the universe he had personally abandoned began to absorb matter and evolve into chaos did he smile and return to his small world.
This supernatural ability was mastered.
As soon as this supernatural power was upgraded, Li Xingkong's mind suddenly relaxed.
The deduction of the Taiyi Heaven-Refining Art has been completed.
Li Xingkong has now thoroughly mastered the method of forging immortal artifacts.
Learning the conceptual state requires no hands-on practice. Once Li Xingkong achieved a thorough understanding of it at the deductive level, he mastered the technique on his own.
"Deduction complete, system, let's begin."
Li Xingkong glanced at the newly learned forging technique and his face lit up with joy.
He was confident he could take the system a step further.
"What's finished? So fast?"
When Li Xingkong summoned the system, it was still engrossed in the newly unlocked documents.
The system never picks and chooses books to read. Since it can't cultivate with most of the things related to immortals anyway, it just reads whatever is available to satisfy its curiosity.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading the Immortal's Notes, and I also found great pleasure in the cultivation methods.
Of course, those fantastical stories are even more exquisite and worth savoring.
" The Taiyi Heaven-Refining Art is done. Come quickly, let me refine it into a celestial artifact for you."
"No, that fast?"
The system was somewhat surprised. The sheer amount of knowledge in that method was evident to all; it had taken a whole month just to receive it. How could Li Xingkong have mastered it so quickly? Unbelievable.
Is this the enlightenment of an immortal?
"Of course, who am I? Come here."
Li Xingkong waved; he couldn't wait to try it out.
"Um, could we try something else first? I'm a little scared..."
Although the system was eager to be promoted, it felt that Li Xingkong's current state was somewhat unreliable.
Does learning something in your brain mean you've truly mastered it? Have you asked your hands?
But that's how people are now. Strictly speaking, they no longer distinguish between brains and hands; they are just a concept.
"What are you afraid of? Come on!"
Li Xingkong clenched his fist and seized the system.
"No!!!"
With a scream, the system discovered that its body had dissolved into the most basic particles in just a few breaths.
As Li Xingkong activated the technique, the particles gradually turned into nothingness. As a result, the system felt as if its soul had left its body, and its nothingness-like body floated up lightly.
It had never seen anything like this before, but given Li Xingkong's confident demeanor, the system had no choice but to accept it.
Only after the system had completely turned into nothingness, as if it had become a piece of conceptual quicksand, did Li Xingkong pause slightly.
He laughed.
"System, system, I'm asking you, do I look more like a human or a god?"
"What the hell are you doing! You look like a tiny, winged, innocent, colorful little elf."
This guy, my life and fortune are still in his hands, why is he asking such strange questions?
Li Xingkong's smile grew even more rampant.
"Good!"
The system felt as if its body was being reshaped; the clump of quicksand, under the shaping of an invisible force, began to be orderly reorganized.
But it felt so sleepy and drowsy, as if its mind and soul desperately needed rest.
When it opened its eyes again, it found Li Xingkong sitting to one side, smiling at it.
"The surgery was a success. You're now a mother of three."
"Get lost, Red Egg."
The system rubbed its body and subconsciously got up, but it found that it seemed to have changed its appearance.
He casually summoned a halo of light, and the system saw its current appearance.
"You're crazy!"
It knew Li Xingkong had no good intentions; at this moment, the reflection in the mirror clearly showed that it had become the same as the image it had just described.
