Yi Xuan originally thought his rocket launch plan would proceed very smoothly.

Unexpectedly, he still underestimated the situation.

The mechanical army in No. 1 Base spent more than a month just collecting and calibrating some basic data on the Cultivation Realm, and that was only barely completed with the cooperation of No. 01.

For the past month, Yi Xuan could only stare blankly at the rocket model on the screen every day.

Unfortunately, without the support of that basic data, even if Yi Xuan were to create a rocket now, he wouldn't dare to use it.

Who knows what the gravitational acceleration and atmospheric pressure are like in this world? Without accurate data, even if a rocket launches successfully, it may not be able to reach its destination.

Of course, Yi Xuan's month wasn't without its gains.

His greatest gain should be the Spirit Refining Instruction.

Yi Xuan has been practicing the Spirit Refining Instruction for almost two years now. During this time, he has been practicing by grinding an iron pestle into a needle, following the simulation results of the Spirit Refining Instruction by No. 01.

This method of cultivation is indeed very suitable for Yi Xuan.

Moreover, each time Yi Xuan cultivated, he could feel the progress of his Divine Sense, and as the iron pestle became thinner and thinner, Yi Xuan's Divine Sense also became stronger and stronger.

Eight months ago, Yi Xuan finally finished grinding the first needle, and his Divine Sense also grew to a level comparable to that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm Perfection.

Yi Xuan was not too satisfied with this result.

Originally, Yi Xuan's idea was that now that he had completed the "grinding iron pestle into a needle" technique, he should change the way he cultivated the Spirit Refining Instruction. Even if he still couldn't withstand the original cultivation method of the Spirit Refining Instruction, he could increase the intensity based on the "grinding iron pestle into a needle" technique.

However, the results of the simulation by No. 01 told him that there was no need to change the cultivation method; he could simply continue grinding the needle.

Although Yi Xuan felt confident in his abilities, No. 01's results were based on scientific evidence, so Yi Xuan had no choice but to comply.

Furthermore, thanks to the experience gained from the first needle, Yi Xuan's training became increasingly proficient, his needle-grinding speed increased, and the duration of each training session also increased significantly.

This resulted in four polished needles being stored in Yi Xuan's Sea of Consciousness over eight months, and during the month of waiting for data, Yi Xuan's fifth needle finally emerged.

At the same time, the instant the fifth needle was inserted, Yi Xuan felt as if his brain had suddenly entered a completely new world, his perception of this world became more acute, and the coverage area of Divine Sense increased many times over.

After his Divine Sense was activated, Yi Xuan had a firm grasp of everything happening in the entire No. 1 Base.

Yi Xuan knew that his Divine Sense had once again broken through to a completely new level.

It's a pity that the cultivation levels of this Spirit Refining Instruction don't seem to match the cultivation levels of immortal cultivators. At first, Yi Xuan thought that he had broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm Perfection the last time, so this breakthrough should be to the Divine Sense realm of the Early Grain Avoidance.

However, after communicating with his senior brother, Yi Xuan discovered that his Divine Sense seemed to be more than just that of a cultivator in the Early Grain Avoidance a Buddhist practice). According to Shi Zhenghao's explanation, Yi Xuan's Divine Sense was now comparable to that of a cultivator in the Late Grain Avoidance Stage.

Of course, that only refers to the coverage area.

In addition, Yi Xuan discovered something special: the five steel needles he had painstakingly ground from the iron pestle seemed to be more than they appeared.

Before his breakthrough, Yi Xuan had tried to control the steel needles to follow his Divine Sense out of his Sea of Consciousness, but each time he failed.

Within his Sea of Consciousness, Yi Xuan could control them at will, as flexibly as if he were controlling his own Divine Sense.

However, every time he tried to use his Divine Sense to take them out of his Sea of Consciousness, he would encounter great obstacles, which would even cause violent tremors in Yi Xuan's Sea of Consciousness.

After that one attempt, Yi Xuan dared not try it again. After all, the Sea of Consciousness is the most important place a person can live, Yi Xuan did not want to turn himself into a brain-dead patient.

However, after this breakthrough, when Yi Xuan released his Divine Sense again, he was surprised to find that the five steel needles actually followed Yi Xuan Divine Sense and emerged from his body automatically, and under Yi Xuan control, they flew up and down like sharp arrows.

Although he knew that a cultivator's Divine Sense did not possess offensive power, Yi Xuan was a technological tycoon in this world. Things that lack offensive power are not necessarily bad.

Yi Xuan quickly realized the correct purpose of the five flying needles: to inscribe formations.

Compared to the formation masters who use their Divine Sense to inscribe formations, the inscription effect of the Divine Sense Flying Needle needles instantly turns them into dust.

The so-called inscription of formations, assuming one's cultivation level allows, actually boils down to two key aspects: the precision of the formation and its robustness.

Precision is easy to understand; it's similar to machining, where higher precision is always better than lower precision.

Furthermore, the more complex the formation, the more intricate the details, and the higher the precision requirements.

The strength of an array depends on the strength of the array master's Divine Sense. An array master with strong Divine Sense can inscribe the array very deeply, just like a master of traditional Chinese painting who can penetrate the paper when painting.

The effectiveness of arrays created by array masters with relatively weak Divine Sense will be greatly reduced.

Either some parts are deep and some parts are shallow, how can the formation be effective in such a situation?

Another issue is that the recording depth is insufficient. After a period of use, the formations begin to fade, meaning that the effectiveness of the formations cannot be guaranteed.

A skilled array master can keep an array running for a thousand years, but a mediocre array master might cause it to suddenly malfunction when you're facing an enemy, and the result is predictable.

However, Yi Xuan's Divine Sense Flying Needle perfectly solved several problems related to engraving the array.

In terms of precision, putting aside Yi Xuan's control for now, the precision of the needle tip is definitely higher than the precision of most array masters' Divine Sense.

As for its sturdiness, Yi Xuan used a needle; it was already quite good that it didn't pierce the material that needed to be inscribed with the formation. Who would worry about the depth being insufficient?

Since acquiring the Divine Sense Flying Needle, inscribing formations has become much easier for Yi Xuan. Not only has the success rate of formations greatly increased, but also, because he possesses five Divine Sense Flying Needle and Yi Xuan Divine Sense has broken through to the Late Grain Avoidance Stage, he can even multitask and inscribe five formations simultaneously.

If this were seen by the array masters of the Cultivation Realm, wouldn't they kneel down and beg to become his disciples?

Furthermore, with the breakthrough in Yi Xuan's Divine Sense, the number of formations Yi Xuan could use increased again. Many of these formations could be applied to the subsequent rocket manufacturing. Yi Xuan was now full of confidence in his rockets. With the addition of those formations, Yi Xuan believed that even without the basic data of this world, he could succeed.

Let him brute force his way through, and he can send the rocket soaring into the Heaven Beyond Heaven.
