Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

Chapter 700 The Core of the Void Abyss Formation

After leaving the Time Rift Platform, Li Yuan continued to venture deeper into the Shattered Star Valley.

With the Spatial Exploration Technique fully mastered, the perception extends to a depth of eight hundred feet. The deeper spatial structure is more chaotic than the middle layer, with denser fissures. Occasionally, one can even detect that the entire spatial wall is slowly shifting.

Five hundred feet to the south, there was an anomaly.

It was a spatial structure thirty zhang in diameter, slowly collapsing. The walls were already cracked, and fragments the size of fingernails were constantly peeling off, pulled inward by a centripetal force. The speed was not fast, but it was already unstoppable. If no one intervened, it would completely disintegrate within a few days.

Just right.

The blue inscription on the Void Crystal Core's Abyss Array Core states that the condition for its permanentization is to stabilize the collapsing spatial structure for a full day.

Li Yuanfei flew to the outer edge of the collapsed area and first scanned the entire wall surface with his spatial detection technique. A node in the northwest corner shattered first, and after losing its support, the nearby wall surface followed suit, with the cracks spreading outwards. The centripetal force at the center was the cohesion of the fragments' own spatial spiritual energy after it became disordered, rather than being pulled by an external force.

I have a general idea of ​​the structure now.

Li Yuan took out the Void Crystal Core and placed it in the first slot of his equipment inventory.

The crystal nucleus disappeared in the palm of the hand.

[Void Abyss Formation Core - Blue has taken effect]

[Effect: Increases the power of spatial spells by 30%; increases casting stability by 20%.]

An additional layer of stability was added to the spiritual energy circulation path. Li Yuan circulated his energy once, confirming that the precision and stability of the spatial spell had improved, and then proceeded to take action.

The first step is to establish a spatial stabilizer.

Li Yuan took out the space stabilizing talismans he had prepared beforehand and pasted them one by one along the main cracks in the wall. After the talismans were activated, spiritual energy seeped into the wall, temporarily stopping the expanding cracks. It took twelve talismans to suppress the main cracks and the most severely damaged areas in a thirty-zhang radius area.

The second step is the forbidden technique of space.

The confinement area wasn't covered all at once, but rather advanced in sections. First, the northwest corner, where the collapse was most severe, was locked down, suppressing the inward rotation of the debris. Then, it expanded southeastward, finally bringing the entire area under control. The rotation of the debris quickly slowed down, and the centripetal force was also contained within a controllable range.

The third step is spatial cutting.

Seeing that the wall stress was too high, relying solely on stabilizers wouldn't last long. Li Yuan used a precision cutting technique to cut a pressure-reducing groove along the stress concentration line, dispersing the pressure to the surrounding area. The cutting line was extremely steady, cutting neither too much nor too little.

The fourth step is to temporarily reinforce the fourth-order formation.

Li Yuan set up a temporary array at six key nodes in the collapsed area, using spatial attribute spirit stones as array eyes, with array patterns forming a supporting framework. Once the array was activated, the spiritual energy between the six nodes intertwined to form a net, supporting the spatial wall from below.

With these four steps completed, the collapse was finally brought under control.

However, spatial collapse is not a static entity. The wall stress will continue to change, the spiritual power of the stabilizing talisman will also be consumed, and the confinement field and decompression tank must be adjusted at any time.

Stay calm all day, and don't relax for even a moment for the next twelve hours.

The permanent attribute of "Talisman Domain Stability" can reduce the consumption of stable spells by 20%, while "Spirit Array Return to Origin" can draw on the surrounding spiritual energy to replenish itself.

With these two enhancements, sustaining spiritual energy is not a problem.

Li Yuan hovered in the center of the collapsed area, his gaze never leaving the wall.

In the first hour, a small crack appeared in the northwest corner. Li Yuan used spatial cutting technique to trim the stress and then added a stabilizing talisman.

In the third hour, the fragments in the southeast region swirled slightly upwards, and the restricted area tightened in some areas, suppressing the momentum.

In the fifth hour, the spiritual power of the third node of the temporary formation weakened, so Li Yuan replaced it with a spirit stone and reactivated it.

In the eighth hour, the wall stress gradually balanced, the collapse rate dropped to a minimum, and the consumption of the space stabilizing symbol also slowed down.

The tenth hour.

The twelfth hour.

The spatial structure, spanning thirty zhang in diameter, finally stabilized. The cracks in the walls stopped spreading, and the internal rotation of the fragments completely ceased.

In the equipment inventory, the Void Crystal Core began to dissipate.

A stream of blue light surged forth and flowed into Li Yuan's meridians.

A picture surfaced in my mind.

At the edge of the void, a spatial wall teetered on the brink of collapse, riddled with cracks and constantly crumbling. A cultivator hovered before the wall, channeling spiritual energy through his hands to erect a transparent frame. The frame stabilized the collapsing wall, which slowly grew within it, the cracks healed, and the fragments re-embedded in their original positions.

The image fades away.

[Permanentization complete]

【Empty Abyss Array Core - Blue】

[Effect: Permanently increases the power of spatial spells by 30%; permanently increases casting stability by 20%.]

The first slot in the equipment inventory is now empty.

The insights gained from this permanent transformation perfectly filled the gap in spatial wall repair, complementing the peeling ability of the minor mastery of the Spatial Cutting Technique. The three spatial spells—Spatial Cutting, Spatial Imprisonment, and Spatial Search—were simultaneously enhanced by 30%, and when combined with the 50% increase in spiritual energy circulation efficiency of the Rift Battle Blade in the spatial environment, the entire set of spatial spells became even stronger.

Li Yuan stayed in Shattered Star Valley for two more days.

The quality of the deep-layer spatial ores far surpasses that of the mid-layer ones. Li Yuan collected several pieces of spatial attribute ores of good quality along the way, and also hunted down two third-tier spatial monsters, storing all the materials into his personal microcosm.

On the evening of the second day, a beam of light flew in from the outside at the entrance to the middle level of Shattered Star Valley.

Liu Qingyang.

The two met in a relatively stable crevice. Liu Qingyang's aura was more refined than before, clearly indicating that he hadn't been idle during this time.

"There have been unusual movements in the deeper parts of Shattered Star Valley recently," Liu Qingyang said.

"Several large rifts expanded simultaneously, squeezing out many of the mid-level monsters."

Li Yuan nodded; this was similar to what he had seen in the past few days.

Liu Qingyang added, "By the way, be careful these next few days."

Liu Qingyang lowered his voice. "When the lower realm merged, many spatial realms were also affected. Some exploded, and some collapsed. Those remnants haven't been completely cleared away yet."

A secret realm that collapsed naturally.

Li Yuan's heart stirred. The core of the Natural Collapse Secret Realm was a key material for making the red attribute permanent; he was currently at the second stage, only one more item needed.

"Thank you," Li Yuan said.

Liu Qingyang waved his hand. The two exchanged a few more words about the current situation in Shattered Star Valley before parting ways.

Li Yuan transformed into a beam of light and left Shattered Star Valley, flying towards the outer edge of Tianheng Domain.
