Chapter 634 Shen Bao's Monster
634 Shen Bao’s Monster
The materials I gained from the general were pretty generous. Most of them are metals I haven’t seen before, but after a quick run to the new part of the Lord of Lords pagoda’s library, I was able to identify and know more about these new metals.
There were mainly three new metals that I haven’t seen before.
First one was a massive boulder sized metal that occasionally sparkled and if one would listen carefully you could hear the sound of thunder itself coming from it.
Thundersteel. Something like this wasn’t very rare, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t precious. Most Thundersteel is made when a thunderstorm lasts at least a hundred years. And within one of the far regions of the Beyond, the Thunder Domain which is apparently one of the three forbidden regions of the beyond, thunderstorms have started and lasted for almost as long as the beyond has existed.
Not many would dare venture too much into the Thunder Domain. As the storms within it are far deadlier than even the lightning tribulations that happens to cultivators and that’s just the rims of the domain.
Thundersteel is usually found around the rims of this domain, stone and metals that have been afflicted with endless thunder would transform and become Thundersteel. Making this metal one of the best to create sharp and deadly weapons Able to easily transfer and transfuse spiritual energy.
Yet the metal remains precious not because of how peculiar it is, since it is easy to obtain, but because it is extremely difficult to forge. Without proper equipment and an adequate and experienced master to forge, it is nothing but a chunk of sparkling metal.
The second metal is a type of copper. Gendingzhi Tong. A metal that is revered for its grounding properties, and connection to the earth element and earthen law. A metal that is prized with its durability and extreme resilience. Its ability to anchor on the earth law is impressive enough that it is comparable to the Wisest Sun’s earth key. However, the difference is, that it is a natural element of the beyond unlike the Wisest Sun’s earth key.
This copper based metal is able to conduct Qi currents with impressive speed. Making it a far better conductor than the Dragon Brass I was using since my days in the Vast Expanse.
Yes, a rubik cube that can commutate. The inner laws will affect the outer layers to change and transform, and each and every transformation and change will show a different face and a different action. As for the 10×10 faces each piece and bit will have an inscription written on them. When the inner core applies a command for the outer layer, the outer layer will change to showcase a new face. The face will then apply the inscription that is drawn on it creating an inscription that I want.
It all looks easy in explaining but the application itself will be a daunting task.
I calmed my mind for a bit took out my old pipe and took a long puff of mind clearing weed. Once my head was in the right spot, I began generating doping poison inside my mind. I needed to increase my concentration level to the maximum to undergo this task. It wasn’t going to be easy by any means.
First things first. For a cube of ten faces each I’ll need six hundred pieces to make the faces. Which was a simple thing to do as I easily cut the copper metal into equal bits, polished them and shaped them into equal pieces.
Then I began printing basic inscription alphabet on one of the six sides. The alphabet in the inscription lexicon is about fifty thousand letters. Which is frankly impossible to put in a rubik’s cube, especially one with only six hundred pieces. Yet the beauty of this thing is, I don’t need to write every character in every square. All I need is for the cube to change and form itself to make that symbol or letter by itself.
And for a ten by ten, the possibilities are practically endless. I did the math, it’s basically six hundred by the power of six hundred. Oh, to give a point of reference, the number of atoms, and I say, atoms, in the visible universe is ten to the power of eighty…
So, in theory, I am able to have this cube literally make any and every inscription possible by the blink of an eye. All I need is to have a powerful enough current and ability to sustain such a computing power.
And thanks to the Thundersteel, I’m more than capable of doing so.
I looked to the gigantic hunk of disabled metal that is Y right next to me and said, “Rejoice, once I’m done with this, you’ll be the first puppet in the world that can cultivate by itself… maybe even better than cultivators themselves.”
