Chapter 3: One Punch Nuclear Fusion

~8 min read 1,454 words

The Library is located in the northeast corner of the Demon Suppression Division.

The surrounding environment is very secluded and quiet, with a pond leaning against it; the clear water surface is like a bright mirror, as if the sky were in the water, and drifting clouds seem to pass over the surface.

The two blend together, looking very harmonious.

If someone with a slightly weak mind were here, they would likely be captivated by this artistic conception, walking carefully and not daring to speak loudly, for fear of disturbing the seclusion of this place.

However.

This is meaningless to a martial artist like Li Heng; he continues to walk with quick steps, heading straight to the front of the Library.

Whatever artistic conception, whatever seclusion, he ignores it all.

To him.

The Library is just a place to read books and choose cultivation techniques. The important thing is the books, not some natural artistic conception.

The Library is divided into four floors.

The first floor contains miscellaneous books that are not ranked.

It houses books like "Dream Garden Notes" and "Beauty Illusion," which record strange tales of gods and ghosts, or romantic stories.

The second floor contains various historical classics. For example, the "Yanli General Outline," and even county gazetteers.

As for the third floor, it begins to involve the extraordinary.

It houses various cultivation techniques and miscellaneous books for cultivators and martial artists; the Great Sun Visualization Diagram that Li Heng wants is on the third floor.

As for the fourth floor, there is only one book.

Unfortunately, Li Heng does not know what that book is called.

In the entire Bei'an Demon Suppression Division, apart from the Division Chief Meng Lingyun, no one is qualified to go up to the fourth floor.

And they cannot go up, either.

The stairs leading to the fourth floor have been placed under a restriction.

Li Heng steps into the Library, casually tosses his Token to the female librarian, and then goes straight upstairs.

Besides recording the aura of Resentful Souls and serving as proof of mission completion, the Token also records the Merit he possesses.

This young woman rolls her eyes at Li Heng, this "person with connections."

However, she says nothing more.

As long as he has enough Merit to take something, she does not ask questions.

Li Heng goes directly to the third floor.

In an unremarkable corner, he pulls out an illustrated manual; it is exactly the Great Sun Visualization Diagram he wants.

It vividly depicts the Haohan Dari, shining light upon the earth, which is just right for Li Heng to use as an object for Visualization.

After all, the more vivid and special his Visualization Divine Ability is, the stronger the power he gains.

Although one can indeed see the Sun during the day, the Sun is an unknown distance from the earth, and at most, one only feels it is a ball of fire, with nothing worth visualizing.

Forcing a visualization would only result in a ball of fire.

On the contrary, this Great Sun Visualization Diagram, drawn by some great master, contains spiritual power. Upon seeing it, one feels as if the Great Sun is right before them, incomparably vivid.

Li Heng looks at this Great Sun Visualization Diagram and gently exhales a breath of stale air; now he is finally on the right track.

Although his Visualization Divine Ability can visualize everything.

Not everything is suitable for restraining the Evil Demons and Weird things of this World, but the Sun is just right.

The Haohan Dari shines upon all heavens; it could not be more suitable.

As for the Three Pure Ones or God from Li Heng's past life? He had tried to visualize them before, but they all ended in failure.

It cannot be called failure, exactly; one could only say the results were slow.

Because Li Heng's Visualization Divine Ability requires a complete image to exert its maximum effect, and to have a complete image, he needs to expend a great deal of energy to constantly construct it.

When he first visualized a crude Sun, it took him a week, and one must know that this crude Great Sun was merely a round ball, plus a little light and heat.

Yet it still took such a long time.

And the images of the Three Pure Ones or God are not simple round balls; their forms or scenes are much more complex.

The concepts that need to be attached are also obscure and difficult to understand.

Li Heng calculates the time.

Let alone constructing a specific image, just a single finger could take him half a lifetime.

This terrifying time consumption makes him shrink back.

Actually, Li Heng had previously thought about visualizing the Sun from his past life, a terrifyingly huge star.

Its volume was 1.3 million times that of the planet from his past life.

But he thinks about it.

Although the power of a punch with billions of units of Nuclear Fusion is satisfying, it is highly likely to be limited to the physical level and unable to do anything to things like souls; after all, he does not dare to gamble.

Although the star version of the Sun is very strong, it is clearly not suitable for this version of the World where demons and ghosts walk everywhere.

He cannot go against the version, can he?

So he can only compromise slightly.

And visualize the Sun of this World.

Of course, Li Heng is still not giving up; when he has time, he must let this World see what Nuclear Fusion is.

With a single punch, the entire Heaven and Earth will be overturned. When the table is flipped, who cares about your soul?

He pulls back his thoughts.

Li Heng takes the Great Sun Visualization Diagram and walks downstairs.

"Register this, I'm exchanging for this one."

The female librarian looks up, surprised to see the Great Sun Visualization Diagram; he is actually using Merit to exchange for this kind of miscellaneous diagram?

Wouldn't it be better to switch to a proper cultivation technique?

She had wanted to advise him as such to avoid wasting Merit, but after a moment's thought, he was a "connected person," so she couldn't be bothered to speak.

She hadn't even settled her own primary cultivation technique.

Why worry about a "connected person"?

After finishing the paperwork and having the Merit deducted, Li Heng did not delay any longer and drifted away.

The young woman watched Li Heng's departing back, unable to help but feel envious; when would she be able to squander her own Merit so freely?

Li Heng returned to his residence.

This was an antique-style courtyard, with a willow tree beside the entrance, its emerald branches hanging over the top of the courtyard.

It looked full of vitality, natural and harmonious.

Li Heng pushed the door open and entered the house, which was very spacious and filled with all kinds of furniture.

There was even incense, turning into wisps of fragrance that drifted through the room, refreshing the heart and mind.

It could be said that this treatment was Absolute and not inferior to that of a wealthy merchant.

However, this was not strange.

After all, martial artists and cultivators, as the Transcendental beings of the world, were already a cut above the rest; they could easily transcend class and obtain better treatment through individual great power.

Even the royal family of Great Li was a Transcendental Family.

Li Heng came to the desk and cleared away the waste paper; these waste papers were the Sun he had drawn previously.

He had tried drawing pictures of the Sun himself to use for Visualization, using all sorts of techniques—realism, abstraction—but they all had very little effect.

It was not as good as him looking at that big fireball in the sky to perform Visualization.

Therefore, now that he had this Great Sun Visualization Diagram, these waste papers called paintings were of no use.

However, he suspected that simply drawing them was useless.

One had to embody a certain artistic conception.

But things like artistic conception involved the spirit, which was mysterious and profound, not something he could touch at the Nurturing Essence Realm.

It was better to honestly use the Great Sun Visualization Diagram for Visualization.

Li Heng prepared for seclusion and began his Visualization.

Just like that, a few days passed in a flash.

In the deep night of one of these days, outside Bei'an City, that abandoned Earth Temple finally welcomed its master.

A humanoid Weird, carrying a rope, slowly drifted to the front of the Earth Temple, revealing confusion and doubt.

This temple filled with Yang energy... was it his home?
