Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 269 New Ancient Notes
During his time on the mountain, Zhou Qing not only focused on cultivation but also spent a significant amount of time exploring new changes in the magnetic field.

His breakthrough in understanding allowed him to delve deeper into the application of magnetic fields.

Every few days, he enters a state of rejuvenation, which can amplify his magnetic field ability by more than ten times.

In this state, he finally touched upon the realm he had previously hoped for but failed to achieve: the microscopic manipulation of magnetic fields.

In this state, he can manipulate the magnetic field with precision down to the atomic level, enabling the sensing and manipulation of individual atoms.

He can sense the force between the atomic nucleus and electrons, and even a stronger force inside the atomic nucleus.

He tried to use the magnetic field to overcome that force, but found it was impossible, as incredible as an ant trying to move an elephant.

Zhou Qing knew that this must be the strong nuclear force that confines quarks together to form protons and neutrons.

This force is not electromagnetic, so it cannot be directly manipulated, and because it is so powerful, its magnetic field cannot be shaken.

Otherwise, he would truly be the creator.

If he could master strong nuclear force, he could construct matter at will, turning iron into gold, and even into more precious and rare substances.

That is the power of the true Creator.

Although the strong nuclear force could not be directly overcome, Zhou Qing came up with a roundabout method.

He can use another particle to collide with a particle, and if the speed is fast enough, he can "shatter" the atomic nucleus.

Zhou Qing used his atomic-level magnetic field to separate an iron nucleus and a hydrogen nucleus, and he attempted to accelerate the hydrogen nucleus to collide with the iron nucleus.

Ultimately, it did not succeed.

He couldn't accelerate the hydrogen nucleus to a sufficiently high speed.

He estimated that to achieve his goal, he would need to accelerate hydrogen nuclei to at least 0.99 times the speed of light, which was still too difficult for him at his current level.

That would require an extremely long acceleration time.

Zhou Qing estimated that he could only achieve this by going all in and burning all twenty-odd dantian.

This is too dangerous for him.

With his current level of cultivation, when he uses the three stages of "Withered Trees Rejuvenating," the magnetic field strength should be approaching the normal state of the Nascent Soul stage.

When he reaches the Golden Core stage, he will be confident that he can realize these conjectures.

To achieve particle collisions using only physical strength is an absurd idea.

It's unclear whether he can observe relativistic effects or create miniature black holes through particle collisions.

These are not only a major leap forward in the pursuit of knowledge, but also greatly enrich his methods.

Unable to achieve particle collisions, Zhou Qing could only try to familiarize himself with the microscopic realm every day and attempt to challenge the strong nuclear force. Although it was of little use, it was at least a means of training, and who knows, maybe some novel phenomenon would appear.

After more than twenty days, Huang Quan and Lin Li had already successfully broken through to the next level. They spent most of their time on the mountain following Zhou Qing in his cultivation, and occasionally went down the mountain to gather information for Zhou Qing.

That day, Huang Quan brought back a wandering cultivator with gray hair.

"Master Zhou, this senior has something you need."

Huang Quan said.

Zhou Qing's eyes lit up, and he asked, "How should I address you, senior?"

"No, you can just call me Wang Yang." Wang Yang said excitedly, "I heard from Fellow Daoist Huang that you are searching for ancient notes. I found one at an ancient site. It records the explorations of ancient Qi cultivators."

"I originally thought it was a treasure and wanted to exchange it for money, but people all looked down on it, saying it was just some outdated stuff and useless to cultivators today, so I just put it away casually. If Brother Zhou needs it, I'll give it to you."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "This thing is indeed useless to other cultivators. Wang Yang, could you keep the notebook with you?"

Wang Yang took out several scrolls from his pocket and said with a smile, "They weren't originally on me, but when I heard that Brother Zhou needed them, I specially went home to get them and presented them to Brother Zhou."

Zhou Qing took the book and said, "I accept your gift. Do you have any requests? As long as it is within my power, I will definitely fulfill them for you."

Wang Yang said with delight, "I come from a Qi Refining family within the territory of the Dongyang Sect. In recent years, my family has produced several talented disciples who were originally expected to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage and enhance the family's foundation. However, they were repeatedly thwarted by the Ziyang family, an affiliated family of the Dongyang Sect. As a result, the talented disciples in my family have perished, and my family has suffered repeated blows."

"I was once highly regarded by my family and thought I had a chance to reach the Foundation Establishment stage. But seeing the fate of my predecessors, I knew that staying in the family would not end well. I had no choice but to leave the family and become a rogue cultivator."

"Now that my lifespan is nearing its end, I have no hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage. I only hope that Brother Zhou can help my family leave the territory of the Dongyang Sect and settle down elsewhere."

After speaking, Wang Yang looked at Zhou Qing nervously, afraid that he might feel embarrassed.

After all, this involves interfering in the affairs of other major sects, which is somewhat taboo.

He wasn't sure if Zhou Qing would get involved in something like this for the sake of a mere volume of a book.

Over the years, he had become accustomed to the ways of the major sects. It was not something that independent cultivators like them could get the major sects to do things for them by paying any price.

Often, the situation is that you give them the goods, but whether or not they are carried out is up to the other party, since they have no right to negotiate.

In the cruel world of cultivation, the fact that the other party didn't directly kill and take the treasure is already a form of mercy.

Wang Yang approached Zhou Qing with a "let's give it a try" attitude because he noticed that Zhou Qing's demeanor and style were completely different from others.

After listening to Wang Yang's words, Zhou Qing said, "Okay, I'll take this task."

Wang Yang asked in surprise, "Really?"

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "When have I ever spoken empty words?"

"The founders of all the great sects in the world were outstanding figures of their time. Because of their achievements, they established sects and passed them down to future generations."

"Later generations, however, often cling to their own sects, turning a once-great sect into a tool for controlling the world."

"Many talented individuals, who should have brought glory to the immortal path, have been silently buried in the malice of the major sects."

Now that I've heard about your situation, I won't stand idly by.

Wang Yang was overjoyed, but Xiao Xiao and the other two understood the unspoken meaning in Zhou Qing's words.

What Zhou Qing was referring to was certainly not the small, affiliated family Ziyang family, nor even the Dongyang Sect.

Such a sect would be a behemoth to others, but to Zhou Qing now, it is too insignificant and not worth his attention.

Zhou Qing was clearly targeting the Buddhist center that had suppressed the Western Continent for tens of thousands of years, causing countless talented individuals who could have made a difference to fail.

Zhou Qing looked at Wang Yang and said, "You can stay with us. Once we reach the territory of the Dongyang Sect, we will fulfill your wish."

The Dongyang Sect belongs to the Eastern Alliance, and their next stop is right there.

However, Zhou Qing would naturally not change his schedule specifically for this matter.
