Chapter 278

However, because the promotion process was too smooth, Jie Ming didn't need to be too troubled.

Without the slightest hesitation, Jie Ming reached out and picked up the magic potion he had originally prepared for promotion, pulled out the stopper, and drank it in one gulp!

Boom—!

The massive medicinal power dissolved in his body instantly, like a flood breaking a dam, impacting his limbs and bones.

If it were an ordinary newly promoted cultivator, they would probably be in a hurry to guide and refine it immediately, lest they be burst by the medicinal power.

But Jie Ming let this torrent go, letting it be frantically swallowed by the suction force like a bottomless pit in the lower dantian!

The medicinal power was efficiently converted by the body, turning into pure spiritual power, and then without stopping, it was sucked into the dantian, injected into the slowly rotating Jin Dan.

And through a certain mysterious operation method, it poured into the internal space that was expanding violently!

This process lasted for a long time, until the medicinal power of the magic potion, which was enough to stabilize the realm for an ordinary Jin Dan cultivator, was completely absorbed, and the terrifying suction force in the lower dantian slowly subsided.

Jie Ming couldn't wait to sink his mind into the internal space.

"This is...!"

Even though he had psychological preparation, he was shocked by the scene before him.

The gray space, which was originally only the size of a room, had now undergone earth-shaking changes!

The boundaries of the space extended rapidly in all directions; at a glance, the vastness was enough to easily accommodate a small village.

What made him feel most pleasantly surprised was that the top of the space was no longer chaos, but faintly had the appearance of clear and turbid separation.

Although still empty, it gave people a sense of the prototype of "high sky and light clouds."

And the space below also had a "solidity" that it had never had before.

Undoubtedly, if it continued to evolve like this, this internal space would form a real world!

"I didn't expect the magnitude of spatial expansion to be so large!" Jie Ming's face was filled with irrepressible joy.

This harvest far exceeded his previous estimates.

And the changes brought about by the Jin Dan Realm were far more than that.

Jie Ming calmed down and felt that his essence, energy, and spirit had been enhanced in all aspects, his five senses were sharper, his thinking speed had further improved, and his physical strength and recovery ability had soared.

In addition, the true essence of the Foundation Establishment stage had completely transformed into a higher-level power, which was closer to the essence of the laws of heaven and earth.

Whether it was casting spells, refining magic treasures, or drawing talismans, the effect and efficiency would be significantly improved.

"At this stage, it can no longer be called true essence, but should be called 'spiritual power'."

Of course, the most critical change was the increase in lifespan!

Under normal circumstances, because of the transformation surgery of the wizard system, Jie Ming would not care too much about the changes in lifespan.

But the change in lifespan in the Jin Dan stage was truly beyond his expectations.

The Foundation Establishment stage has a lifespan of one hundred and eighty years, and the Foundation Establishment stage has eight hundred.

And the Jin Dan stage... according to the records of the Great Dao Book Pavilion, in the history of cultivation with clear records, the longest-lived Jin Dan cultivator lived for a full one million one hundred and twenty thousand years!

His final cause of death was that his soul naturally weakened to the extreme, and no soul-prolonging treasure could save him, not because his flesh decayed.

In other words, once the Jin Dan is achieved, the flesh theoretically has already obtained immortality.

The limit of lifespan, in turn, depends on the lifespan of the soul!

And the length of the soul's lifespan is closely related to the firmness of personal will and the soul-strengthening treasures and elixirs taken.

After carefully reviewing his brand-new state, Jie Ming stood up satisfied, a sense of unprecedented power and control filling his heart.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart and rushed into the laboratory like a gust of wind.

In the next few months, the laboratory was brightly lit, and various energy fluctuations and strange humming sounds were endless.

Jie Ming was immersed in the ocean of knowledge and the passion of creation.

Combining the brand-new understanding of energy control in the Jin Dan Realm, he began to work on the improvement and creation of his own rune-inscribed wizarding tools.

Rune-inscribed wizarding tools were originally his exclusive weapon system created by combining the wizard's "knowledge prying power lever" and the cultivator's "using one's own power to induce the power of heaven and earth."

In the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, limited by the scale of external power he could induce, rune-inscribed wizarding tools were more reflected in release speed and continuity, forming the mode of "Great Light Phase" that relied on terrifying fire rate and quantity to form barrage suppression.

But the absolute destructive power of a single attack was limited, and even required extra power supply due to high energy consumption.

But now, everything is different!

Jie Ming in the Jin Dan Realm had a qualitative leap in his sensing and mobilization of heaven and earth energy.

He was finally able to integrate the characteristic of "inducing external power" into the destructive core of rune-inscribed wizarding tools at a deeper level!

A few months later, Jie Ming, holding a newly refined rune-inscribed wizarding tool that was only the size of a thumb but had a structure several times more complex, and was as pure as crystal, came to a mountain range in the Purgatory Sulfur plane that was uninhabited and covered in hard metal ores.

"First... let's test the effect."

With a thought, he activated the basic functions of this new rune-inscribed wizarding tool.

Swish...

An energy bullet that looked unremarkable and was only the size of a fist shot out from the front of the rune.

It silently tore through the air and slammed into a mountain peak nearly a thousand meters high in the distance, composed of high-density metal ores.

The next second...

Boom!!!

A deafening sound came, and heaven and earth lost their color!

A scorching light ball, indescribable in its terror, erupted suddenly, expanding instantly, completely swallowing the upper half of the entire mountain peak!

Following that, the shockwave that shook the earth spread in a ring, and the visible air waves swept outward like a substantial tsunami!

This was not a simple explosion and collapse.

In Jie Ming's solemn gaze, the upper half of the mountain peak that was hit was wiped out by an invisible giant hand, directly vaporized and annihilated in the scorching white light!

And the ground below the center of the explosion, the rock layer with a metal content of over seventy percent, was lifted and torn apart layer by layer like fragile biscuits.

It turned into tens of thousands of tons of metal fragments and molten magma, thrown into the high sky of several thousand meters, and then fell like a destructive meteor fire rain!

Dust filled the air, and loud noises rumbled, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Jie Ming hovered in mid-air, his body shrouded in a faint protective shield, blocking the incoming shockwaves and debris.

He looked at the terrain that had been completely changed before his eyes, as well as the giant crater that was tens of meters deep and over a thousand meters in diameter, and brilliant essence light burst from his eyes.

"Success!" He muttered to himself, his tone carrying irrepressible excitement.

After the amplification of inducing more elemental power, the power of this strike had already transcended the category of Tier 2 Wizards and steadily reached the destructive level of Tier 3 wizardry!

This meant that his one strike already possessed the terrifying power to destroy a city!
