Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 179 April
Since there are still six months left, Zhou Qing doesn't need to rush and can take his time.

In the time that followed, he devoted all his time, apart from cultivation, to solving these problems.

He improved the receiving device while writing code.

It's not too difficult, just quite time-consuming.

He only needs to select a few frequencies from the infrasound frequency range that have no effect on the human body and are therefore undetectable by the human body, and use them as information carriers to translate the information he wants to convey.

It took Zhou Qing four months to officially complete these tasks.

Over the past four months, the Qingyun Sect has appeared relatively calm on the surface, but internally, turmoil has been brewing.

Mu Zhuosha receives several heads of affiliated families every few days.

According to my previous chat with Mu Zhuosha, more than twenty affiliated families have already surrendered to them.

Mu Zhuosha also chose someone she trusted to join the business operations of the affiliated family.

Yu Liangmou would represent Zhou Qing to investigate those families, and then make unified plans for the goods to be sent to each family, as well as the share that each family needed to hand over to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing's business is very large, but he rarely oversees it personally anymore. He only gathers relevant personnel every month to inquire about their respective responsibilities.

Most of the time, he just waits to collect the money.

He now receives as many as 120 high-grade spirit stones every month.

In the past four months, apart from the spirit stones he consumed during cultivation, he still had more than three hundred spirit stones left.

He took out 120 high-grade spirit stones and bought a high-end storage bag.

He had long coveted this thing, but it was too expensive. Even a storage bag of ordinary quality cost dozens of high-grade spirit stones, so he hadn't been willing to buy it in the past. Now that he was making a fortune every day, buying a storage bag no longer bothered him.

With the storage bag, Zhou Qing was able to store all his valuables.

This storage bag is big enough to hold his entire yard.

His belongings were stored inside, occupying only a small corner.

Among them are his various notes, the talisman array diagrams he invented, dozens of array plates that have been eternally destroyed, and hundreds of iron pellets.

This is something he recently commissioned to be made.

Iron pellets are a one-time consumable for him, so naturally he needs to store more of them.

With the storage bag, he also solved the problem of insufficient infrasound energy level.

He secretly entrusted Liang Mou with the task of having craftsmen outside the Qingyun Sect manufacture a large bell weighing several tons using fire-heart iron.

This giant bell can amplify the energy level of infrasound thousands of times, which is enough to increase its destructive power to the point that it can threaten cultivators at high levels.

As for the exact extent of its power, Zhou Qing was not sure.

Even he himself hasn't figured out a way to counter this sonic attack.

To counter sound waves, one can use sound waves of other frequencies to interfere with them.

However, the infrasound waves amplified by the clock have such high energy levels that they are difficult to interfere with.

Zhou Qing felt that unless his magnetic field could be strengthened to the point of being like a withered tree coming back to life.

Then he can directly tear the air apart to create a vacuum and completely isolate the sound waves.

Zhou Qing estimated that he would need to reach the Foundation Establishment stage before he could achieve this level normally.

In other words, he can only use this megaphone when he is in a state of rejuvenation.

However, this megaphone attack has one advantage: its attack range is truly astonishing.

Infrasound's exceptional penetrating power allows it to travel thousands of miles. Of course, as the distance traveled increases, the energy of the sound wave dissipates, and its power decreases.

Even so, this is still an extremely powerful area-of-effect attack skill.

Over the past four months, in addition to becoming more skilled, Zhou Qing's cultivation has also made further progress.

With the continuous use of high-grade spirit stones, he finally broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Zhou Qing now pays less attention to the changes in spiritual energy brought about by breakthroughs in his cultivation realm; he focuses more on the changes in his magnetic field abilities.

Suddenly reaching the fourth level of Qi Refining, the magnetic field range reached four zhang, and its intensity also increased by three points.

This means that he can compress spiritual energy over a larger area into a more concentrated state, thereby emitting a more powerful five-colored divine light.

On the day of the breakthrough, Zhou Qing specially went deep into the mountains to test the Five-Colored Divine Light.

He had originally hoped that his magnetic field had already broken through its limits, becoming highly concentrated spiritual energy that would collide and produce runes.

Unfortunately, he was still disappointed.

The spiritual energy compression was still insufficient; it had not yet become complete chaos, but remained in a state of five-colored differentiation.

Only when he can compress spiritual energy to a state of complete chaos, where even the five-colored state cannot be maintained and it becomes utter chaos, will runes be able to be generated.

However, at that time, his ultimate move can no longer be called Five-Colored Divine Light, but should be renamed Chaos Divine Light.

Through testing, his current Five-Colored Divine Light has acquired power approaching that of a plasma beam.

Of course, it's only close to the plasma beam he fired last time.

Plasma also has different energy levels, ranging from tens of thousands of degrees to tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of degrees, and the power will never be the same.

Another advantage of plasma is its long range, which can reach hundreds of meters to several kilometers, while the Five-Colored Divine Light will dissipate at a distance of more than ten feet.

Zhou Qing himself still prefers plasma beams.

He discovered that he was unconsciously shaping his own style of attack.

He prefers long-range attacks, and the longer the distance, the better, ideally killing the enemy from thousands of kilometers away.

This kind of attack, which is similar to divine justice or a dimensional strike, is most in line with Zhou Qing's temperament.

It is always better to keep the enemy at bay and kill them before they even realize it than to engage in close combat.

While Zhou Qing was immersed in his cultivation and research, the people in the sect were also busy with their own arrangements.

Faced with the relentless pressure from the alliance of Zhou Qing and Mu Zhuosha, the affiliated families knew that if they did not unite, they would be gradually devoured.

They pinned all their hopes on Bai Muyun, hoping that the formation tournament would grant their wish.

Bai Muyun did not disappoint them.

He praised Wu Tao's talent and assured them that this conference would bring about a transformative improvement in Wu Tao, at which point he would definitely possess abilities no less than Zhou Qing's.

The affiliated families each made significant sacrifices, raising over 20,000 high-grade spirit stones to fund the formation tournament, reward participating sects and formation masters, and support formation research.

Bai Muyun, along with two masters from the Array Academy, Xuanzhe and Hongguan, personally persuaded several friendly sects.

They persuaded a total of seven sects, including Yinghua Sect, Changsheng Sect, Huanqing Sect, Chihuo Sect, Zishan Valley, Xianlin Lake, and Tianjian Sect.

The Longevity Sect and the Crimson Fire Sect both cooperated with Zhou Qing. Hearing that Zhou Qing did not participate in the Formation Conference, they guessed that there must be internal strife within the Azure Cloud Sect.

To avoid suspicion, neither of them attended.

The other five sects arrived one after another.
