Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

On the morning of the second day after returning to Wulinfang City, Li Yuan finished his meditation practice in the stone house.

A panel pops up.

The conditions for permanent Divine Consciousness Condensation (Green) have been met.

[Condensed Divine Sense (Green) has become a permanent entry]

The phantom of the Concentration Pill in the equipment slot disappeared, freeing up the slot.

In the instant of permanentization, the five lines of consciousness simultaneously experienced a brief but intense resonance. After the resonance, the sharpness and solidity of the tips of the lines of consciousness were permanently enhanced.

Li Yuan closed his eyes and sensed for a moment.

The speed at which divine sense is condensed is 20% faster than before, which means that the interval between releasing divine sense attacks in battle is shorter, and the pressure of multi-line parallel control is also less.

More importantly, it has a dizzying effect.

He flicked a thread of his divine sense lightly towards the table. As the end of the thread struck the table, a brief mental shockwave emanated from the point of contact. If the target were a cultivator, this shockwave would cause a brief moment of disorientation, approximately half a breath, within their sea of ​​consciousness.

Half a breath.

That's enough for him to unleash a Sky-Splitting Slash.

Li Yuan withdrew his divine sense thread, got up, and walked out of the stone house.

The expansion project of the market is still underway. During his absence, the Wang and Ji families have been steadily carrying out the pre-arranged plan. The foundation of the southern expansion area has been completed, and most of the walls have been erected. Progress on the eastern side is slightly slower, but the areas for shops have already been demarcated.

Li Yuan spent two days inspecting the entire construction site, adding several detection and sensing arrays at key points, and after confirming that there were no blind spots in the defense coverage, he handed over the remaining finishing work to Ji Wenchuan.

On the third night, at midnight.

Li Yuan took out four materials from his storage bag and placed them on the table to check them one by one.

Space Crystal, acquired at auction in Baijingfang Market, of superior quality.

Three spatial array stones, purchased from Yunyang Market.

Guiding copper sheets, purchased in the same batch, twelve sheets.

The spiritual clay, made by myself and sealed in a jade bottle, is enough to repair the two teleportation arrays.

All the materials needed to repair the hidden teleportation node are now available.

Li Yuan put the materials into his storage bag, opened all three layers of concealment, and left the market.

An hour later, on the limestone plateau.

The plateau, shrouded in thick fog, was deathly silent. The severely weathered limestone beneath their feet gleamed with a cold, grayish-white light in the night, riddled with erosion pits and devoid of any spiritual energy.

Li Yuan used the Earth Escape Technique to slowly disappear into the ground.

Passing through the loose dissolved layer was effortless. Twenty-five feet deep, the unusually dense rock barrier reappeared in their perception.

He increased his spiritual energy output and chiseled through the two-zhang-thick dense rock layer inch by inch, entering the cavity below.

The cavity remained unchanged. The small space, about two zhang square, had smooth walls, and in the center stood a circular stone platform with a diameter of three chi. Most of the array patterns on the surface of the stone platform had cracked and fallen off, with only a small piece remaining at the core retaining a faint trace of spiritual energy.

Li Yuan squatted down and took out the materials from the storage bag one by one, arranging them on the ground next to the stone platform according to the repair order.

All five lines of divine consciousness were spread out.

The first and second lines of divine sense were responsible for exploration. The spatial perception of the teleportation stone was fully unleashed, and the structure, direction, and specifications of the spiritual energy interface of every remaining array pattern on the surface of the stone platform were all vividly imprinted into the mind.

The third line of divine sense began to clear. The broken and detached remnants of the old array patterns were peeled away one by one, revealing the original spiritual energy channels on the stone platform base. Most of the channels were blocked, so Li Yuan injected spiritual energy clay into the channels, slowly dissolving and clearing the blockages.

The knowledge about spatial folding and teleportation array structure in the annotations of the third-order array theory played a crucial role at this moment. The array patterns of the teleportation array are not simple planar depictions, but are divided into three layers, each involving spatial folding at different depths.

The first layer is the spiritual energy conduction layer.

Li Yuan filled the broken section with a guiding copper sheet, fixed it with spiritual clay, and precisely controlled the alignment of the copper sheet with the original array patterns using his divine sense. The error could not exceed one millimeter.

Otherwise, the spiritual energy will become disordered during the transmission process.

The second layer is the spatial positioning layer.

Li Yuan used his spiritual power to precisely carve three array stone slots inside the stone platform, embedding the spatial array stones one by one. After each stone was embedded, he repeatedly calibrated its orientation using the spatial perception of the teleportation stone to ensure that its spatial sensing surface was perfectly aligned with the positioning loop of the array pattern.

The third layer is a spatial folding layer.

This layer is the core of the teleportation array and also the most severely damaged part.

The array patterns of the folded spatial layers are not on the physical plane, but are engraved in the interlayers of the folded space. The skeleton of the folded structure has completely collapsed, and the original array patterns have completely disappeared with the collapse of the folded space.

Reconstructing a complete spatial folding structure from scratch requires mastery of third-order array formations. Li Yuan's current level is still some distance from that.

But he has the Sky-Splitting Slash.

The essence of the Sky-Splitting Slash is to create rifts in space. The essence of Space Folding is to bend and fix space along a specific direction.

But he has the Sky-Splitting Slash.

The essence of the Sky-Splitting Slash is to create rifts in space. The essence of Space Folding is to bend and fix space along a specific direction.

Cracks represent destruction, while folds represent shaping. Although they seem to be opposites, they both manipulate the same thing at the underlying level—the structure of space.

During his training in the Sky-Splitting Slash, Li Yuan accumulated a wealth of practical experience in manipulating spatial structures. He knew how to precisely control the direction, depth, and duration of the rifts, and he also knew how space heals itself after the rifts dissipate.

The healing process itself is a kind of miniature spatial folding.

He decided to use a creative approach to reconstruct the folded structure.

The fifth line of divine sense concentrated all its energy, creating an extremely tiny crack in the space above the stone platform. As soon as the crack formed, he immediately used the spatial perception of the teleportation stone to lock onto the spatial edges on both sides of the crack. Then, before the crack dissipated, he used spiritual power to squeeze the spatial edges on both sides inward, forcing the space to bend along the direction of the crack.

The cracks disappeared.

The space heals itself in a curved state, and the healed spatial structure retains the curved shape, forming a miniature spatial fold.

It became.

Using this technique of stitching up the cracks, Li Yuan reconstructed the folded structure's skeleton piece by piece. Each operation was extremely precise and consumed a great deal of energy, but the results were far better than he had expected.

While the folded structure formed by stitching together the cracks may not be as intricate as the original, it is far more stable. The natural repair mechanisms of space as the cracks heal naturally reinforce the folded structure, making it even more robust than artificially created folds.

The repair of the third layer took the longest, a full two hours.

After the last section of the folded skeleton was completed, Li Yuan took the space crystal out of the jade box and embedded it into the array eye groove in the center of the stone platform.

The moment the crystal entered the slot, the internal spatial folds and array patterns resonated. The three-layer array structure simultaneously lit up with an extremely faint light, and spiritual energy was injected from the first conduction layer, distributed through the second positioning layer, and finally flowed into the third folding layer.

Spatial fluctuations slowly rose above the stone platform, stable and even.

Li Yuan stood up and took a step back.

The teleportation array has been restored to basic functionality.

He infused a stream of spiritual energy to conduct an activation test.

The light from the array patterns softened, and the spatial fluctuations on the stone platform gradually intensified. The spatial perception feedback from the teleportation stone sent back a clear signal—the array was searching for connectable teleportation nodes.

After a few breaths, I sensed faint responses from two directions.

One is in the direction of Yunzhou. The signal is extremely weak and intermittent, and the remote node seems to be in a dormant or partially damaged state.

The other one is southwest of Liangzhou. The signal is relatively clear, but the strength is not high.

But that's enough.

A teleportation node of the Xuanyou Sect, which had been dormant for hundreds of years, has been reawakened.

Li Yuan deactivated the array, restoring the stone platform to its dormant state. The light from the array patterns slowly faded, and the spatial fluctuations subsided.

He used earth-遁术 (earth-遁术, a technique that allows one to escape through dense rock formations) to return to the surface.

Thick fog still shrouded the limestone plateau, and all around was utter silence.

Li Yuan stood on the edge of the plateau for a moment, then looked up towards the southwest.
