Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 390 Rubbing Nuclear Bombs with Hands
After seeing off the sect leader, Zhou Qing met with Master Qingmu.

Master Qingmu has been living on Daoyun Peak for several months now, but Zhou Qing has been wandering in the Land of Oblivion, so this is the first time they have met.

The previous breakthrough using the newly fused Golden Core Pill caused great damage to True Man Qingmu. Now he looks like a frail old man, without any of the demeanor of a Golden Core cultivator.

Zhou Qing couldn't help but feel sorry for him. If he had tried it six months later, the result would have been completely different.

Before long, the problem of the Golden Core will be solved. There are only about twenty Golden Core cultivators in the Western Continent, so it's no problem for each person to get a dozen or so pills.

The path of cultivating immortality is full of unpredictable changes.

Even if you make the best choices at every stage, the results often don't come as planned.

Master Qingmu spent his remaining years peacefully at Daoyun Peak, with Qingyuan accompanying him day and night, which was a small comfort in the final moments of his life.

Other friends have also made great progress over the years.

Chen Qingxuan was already a Golden Core cultivator.

Now, the sect leader is guarding the Demon Abyss, Mu Zhuosha and Saintess Xianglian are living in seclusion, and Xu Jingfeng is the only Golden Core cultivator in the Qingyun Sect. After Chen Qingxuan advanced to the Golden Core stage, he also returned to the Qingyun Sect to take charge of affairs.

Wei Xu had already reached the sixth level of Foundation Establishment and replaced Chen Qingxuan as the elder of the Transmission Hall.

Yuan Hongying, on the other hand, was at the Array Academy, learning array formations from Xuanzhe.

The Qingyun Sect's Array Academy is now the center for array research in the Western Continent, and also the center for the development of Zhou Qing's wave theory.

Yuan Hongying visited Zhou Qing at the Hongfa Temple several times.

Decades have passed, and her initial feelings have subsided, leaving only a faint imprint in her memory.

When they met, she mainly asked Zhou Qing about the theory of wave motion. Although Zhou Qing had not continued his research for a long time, his magnetic field ability gave him a natural understanding of spiritual energy.

As his magnetic field abilities improved, his understanding became more profound, so he could often give her insights with just a few words.

Yuan Hongying also explained her current research plan to him.

She is conducting research on combining life-refining techniques with array formations.

Zhou Qing was also very interested in the art of life-refining. He had hoped to copy all of a person's electromagnetic signals and then transfer them to a new body.

It's a pity that it didn't happen.

If this can be achieved, then the ability to create clones will truly be realized.

Zhou Qing shared his previous research experience on this topic with Yuan Hongying, hoping she could achieve something.

After meeting with all his friends, Zhou Qing went into seclusion again.

He had two purposes for this seclusion: first, to successfully open all the acupoints he had obtained from the Forgotten Land; and second, to test the current state of his magnetic field abilities, especially his strong nuclear force.

When he broke through to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, he already felt that he could slightly shake the atomic nucleus. Now that he has broken through to the eighth level of Foundation Establishment, he should be able to make further progress.

Back in his secluded retreat, Zhou Qing closed his eyes and focused his mind, delving into the microscopic realm of his magnetic field abilities.

The essence of the material world was gradually revealed to him.

He sensed the entanglement of atomic clusters, the mysterious and unpredictable electron cloud inside the atom, and the powerful force within the atomic nucleus that tightly bound the various elements together.

This power had once been an insurmountable barrier for him, but now he felt as if he were the creator, holding it in his hands.

Zhou Qing captured a water molecule, his consciousness barely stirred, and each atom that made up the water molecule silently disintegrated.

He used his magnetic field ability to extract protons from the elements after the water molecules disintegrated, totaling eighteen protons.

Everything was so easy, so carefree.

All the secrets of matter were thus exposed to him. Zhou Qing closed his eyes, fearing that his vision would interfere with his senses, relying solely on his mind to capture and manipulate these particles.

He tried to apply the strong nuclear force back to them.

He separated the two protons and then applied the strong nuclear force to them.

An unimaginable force instantly compressed them together. One of the protons seemed to emit something, which Zhou Qing couldn't sense clearly in his haste. Then the two protons stably combined into an atomic nucleus.

This substance seems to be called...deuterium?

Zhou Qing was secretly pleased, thinking to himself that if he continued to increase the number of protons, he would eventually create heavier atomic nuclei, such as gold or even radioactive materials. Could he then thwart a nuclear bomb?

Wait, he has already mastered strong nuclear power, so why would he need radioactive materials? He can easily thwart nuclear bombs out of thin air.

However, he first needs to know the range of his strong nuclear force.

Zhou Qing detached himself from the microscopic realm and sensed the range of his own force field.

Finally, he discovered that the range of his strong nuclear force was only an area smaller than a little fingernail.

this…

It's far too small.

Zhou Qing was somewhat disappointed, but he quickly realized that strong nuclear force is a force that acts on the microscopic realm, and to have an area the size of a fingernail is already quite formidable.

The power of the microscopic realm cannot be imagined using the same scale as that of the macroscopic realm.

A nuclear force field the size of a fingernail is probably more terrifying than one can imagine.

It would be best to try its power now.

Zhou Qing looked around the cave where he was in seclusion and thought to himself, "This may not be a good testing ground."

He emerged from the cave, flew on his sword to survey the area above the Buddhist center, and finally landed in a secluded forest.

Zhou Qing scooped up a handful of water from the nearby ditch and applied the strong nuclear force to it. A small portion of the water was instantly decomposed into a mist of protons and electrons.

Zhou Qing dispersed the electronic fog and captured the proton cluster.

This small step alone made Zhou Qing feel weak.

He sensed the condition inside his body and found that this small step had consumed more than fifty of his two hundred dantian at the peak of the eighth level of Foundation Establishment.

This terrifying energy consumption is even greater than that of gamma rays.

However, the experiment had already begun, and Zhou Qing couldn't very well stop it.

He began to apply the strong nuclear force field to these protons.

An incredibly powerful force instantly overcame the repulsion between protons, squeezing them together.

Unlike the previous experiments with only a few protons, this time Zhou Qing noticed the changes that occurred between the protons.

Protons combine to form a larger nucleus, and in the process, some protons convert a portion of themselves into pure energy, which is emitted as light.

A tiny, dazzling point of light appeared in Zhou Qing's palm, and he sensed a terrifying energy emanating from it.

He didn't even have time to think before he threw the point of light out and ran wildly in the opposite direction.

As he ran, Zhou Qing looked back and saw that the tiny point of light had expanded into a pure white plasma fireball a meter in diameter in an instant.

The moment Zhou Qing saw the fireball, he felt a stinging pain in his eyes. If it weren't for his strong physique, he would have been in danger of going blind from that one moment.
