I'm determined to become an immortal!

"It's done!"

Thanks to the blessing of the subtle artistic conception and the ample preparations made beforehand, He Sheng's first cultivation went much more smoothly than expected.

As the last forbidden pattern fell, the nodes of the hidden artifact restriction in the sea of ​​consciousness suddenly lit up like stars.

The silver light flowed and converged along the patterns, eventually solidifying into an ancient hexagonal base.

In an instant,

Countless tiny sparks of light burst forth from the center of the base, spreading across the entire sea of ​​consciousness like exploding stardust.

The spiritual light did not scatter and splash, but flowed along the hidden veins of the void, sometimes turning into silver threads that intertwined into a net, and sometimes condensing into a ball of light that floated above the base, illuminating the originally silent sea of ​​consciousness as if it were daytime.

He Sheng felt his sea of ​​consciousness being gently lifted by a warm force. As his divine sense subtly strengthened, it seemed as if a faint outline of a 'container' had appeared.

[Artifact Bottle Forging Technique (Beginner): 2/100]

(Total training time: 1 day)

He Sheng glanced at the newly added information categorized under "Law" and muttered:

"I've managed to get started with this cultivation session, and the results seem pretty good. However, given my current state of consciousness, I'm afraid I'll need to rest for most of the day before I can continue with the next cultivation session."

In other words, with my current spiritual strength, I can only practice the "Divine Artifact Bottle Forging Technique" twice a day?

He Sheng couldn't help but rub his temples. Although his first cultivation session went quite smoothly, he felt a significant emptiness in his spiritual sense afterward, making him want to sleep and rest for the first time since his transmigration.

With nothing else to do, He Sheng didn't force himself to stay awake. He slept until nightfall before getting up and continuing to study the "Forging Method of Divine Artifact Bottle".

"I don't have much general training time right now, but I can try the time-rate for the beginner stage."

[Current available total training time: 4 months and 12 days]

With a thought, He Sheng immediately added all the cultivation time he had gained over the past two months using the "Blood and Flesh Rebirth Technique" to the "Divine Artifact Bottle Forging Method," and the cultivation information was immediately displayed.

[You have already achieved some skill in weapon crafting. After more than two months of arduous practice in forging the divine artifact bottle, you have easily broken through to the minor completion stage.]

Two months?

Time rate 2?

He Sheng quickly glanced at the message from Waterdrop:

[Divine Artifact Bottle Forging Technique - Level 1 (Minor Success): 32/200]

(Total training time: 2 months and 6 days)

"As expected, it has a time rate of 2, consistent with the 'Clear Wave Water Element Technique.' To cultivate it to the first major perfection level, it requires three to four years of general cultivation time."

The "Divine Artifact Treasure Bottle Forging Method" was identified as a "method" by the Time Leak, which indirectly indicates that this method is not easy to cultivate. The entire method is divided into four levels, and the level of a weapon refiner is a prerequisite.

Simply put, with He Sheng's current rank of a second-tier low-grade weapon refiner, he can only cultivate to the first level of perfection. He needs to advance to the second-tier mid-grade weapon refiner before he can break through to the second level.

"But I wonder how much one's spiritual sense will increase after cultivating this technique to the first level of perfection, and whether it will allow the 'Clear Wave Water Control Technique' to advance further?"

He Sheng's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately looked at the information of the other water droplets.

[Tier 2 Low-Grade Refiner: 231/6000]

(Total cultivation time: 13 years, 0 month and 4 days)

[Qinglan Water Elemental Skill, Level 6 (Mastery): 207/300]

(Total cultivation time: 10 years, 11 month and 15 days)

【Flesh and Blood Rebirth Technique (Perfect): 1/500】

(Total training time: 11 months and 11 days)

【Soul Imprint Technique (Mastery): 400/400】

(Total cultivation time: 2 years, 11 months and 22 days)

"With the general cultivation time now reduced to 0, the only way to quickly raise the 'Divine Artifact Bottle Forging Technique' to the first level of perfection is to squeeze time out from other areas."

The "Flesh and Blood Rebirth Technique" requires maintaining the disguise by not moving, and it also doesn't have much time to do so.

He Sheng turned his attention to the first two items and took the lead in reverting his weapon refiner rank back to the initial stage of the second rank, lower grade.

As the weapon refiner's rank advances to the second-tier lower grade, the time rate increases to 3, and the general cultivation time immediately increases by more than a year.

[Tier 2 Low-Grade Refiner: 1/6000]

(Total cultivation time: 12 years, 6 month and 14 days)

[Current available total practice time: 1 years, 5 months, and 10 days]

He Sheng then reverted the "Qinglan Water Elemental Skill" back to the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

[Qinglan Water Elemental Skill, Level 6 (Beginner): 1/100]

(Total cultivation time: 10 years, 3 month and 1 days)

General training time has been increased again.

[Current available total training time: 2 years, 10 month, 4 days]

Let's first test the effect of raising the "Divine Artifact Bottle Forging Technique" to the first level of perfection.

He Sheng's heart stirred, and he immediately devoted a large amount of his cultivation time to it.

After more than a year of arduous training, your artifact forging technique has finally reached the first level of perfection. Although there is still a considerable distance to go before reaching the Great Perfection, you feel that your spiritual consciousness has been greatly enhanced.

Perhaps, some bottlenecks that were previously hindered by insufficient spiritual strength can now be broken through.

[Divine Artifact Bottle Forging Technique - Level 1 (Perfect): 1/500]

(Total cultivation time: 1 years, 4 month and 18 days)

Although the cultivation information was brief, He Sheng clearly felt that his divine sense had been enhanced. Even without the support of the Wei Lan Intent, the range of his divine sense exceeded one mile, reaching more than two hundred feet.

Moreover, the treasure bottle within his sea of ​​consciousness was beginning to take shape!

The entire first stage of "The Forging Method of Divine Artifact Bottles" focuses on solidifying the foundation. This involves two aspects: firstly, continuously adding layers of hidden artifact restrictions to the base, and secondly, repeatedly outlining the contours of the bottle's body.

Upon reaching the first stage of perfection, the base is already radiant with spiritual light, and the outline of the vessel itself becomes clear.

"His overall spiritual sense has increased by more than 30%. No wonder Wu Feng's spiritual sense strength was able to directly jump to a higher level back then."

He Sheng nodded in satisfaction, then glanced at the remaining general cultivation time.

[Current available total training time: 5 months 10 days]

"Although the remaining time is limited, the water clock itself indicates that my spiritual strength has reached the level to break through the bottleneck. Perhaps it's worth a try."

He Sheng immediately turned his gaze to the "Qinglan Water Control Technique" that he had been longing for.

【Clear Water Control Technique (Masterful): 1000/1000】

(Total cultivation time: 15 years, 6 month and 22 days)

Let's begin.

He Sheng focused his mind on the plus sign after "Qinglan Water Control Technique", and the cultivation information indeed changed!

In the first month, you poured all your energy into the deduction of the subtle artistic conception.

Perhaps it was the natural result of enhanced spiritual awareness, or perhaps it was the burst of inspiration accumulated from countless failures in the past, that made you realize for the first time the more microscopic existences in the world.

In your perception, the water vapor particles that were originally extremely small are now like lotus seeds that have been peeled open layer by layer, revealing their even more intricate internal structure.

Countless invisible and imperceptible "water elements" are interconnected and circulate in a mysterious way, forming the "water" you perceive.

This is a completely new microscopic world, and you realize you've finally crossed that threshold.

This leap allows you to more intuitively understand the essence of things and also sparks moments of inspiration.

Three months later, with your more subtle perception, you completed the adjustments to "Gathering Water Break" and "Thousand Condensed Poison Dragon Break", easily raising the power of these two transcendent techniques to their maximum limit!

In particular, the Thousand-Condensed Poison Dragon Break, based on your own experience, when used with the Blood Poison Mother-Child Blade, its power is even close to 30% of the power of an ordinary Golden Core magic weapon.

This power has surpassed the initial form of a fully refined magic weapon; it has become your true killing move!

Half a month later, after you had practiced the two transcendent techniques to the point of being able to control them at will, you began to try to study the essence of the subtle ripples.

You suddenly had a brilliant idea: following the structure of the void restriction, you wove your divine sense into a net, with meshes so fine they were unprecedented.

You discovered the most basic structure of consciousness through this, and you used "water element" as an analogy to call it "divine element".

You can clearly perceive individual "divine essences," which are as tiny as stars and are connected to each other by invisible threads, forming the surface of divine consciousness.

You go a step further, using your divine sense as a starting point to explore the subtle realm of meaning. The realm that was originally as ethereal as a concept now seems to have color and trajectory in your eyes.

In an instant, the whole world is transformed in your eyes.

A thought flashed through my mind.

You've grasped the key; the subtle ripples of your artistic conception have begun to transform, and your Clear Ripples Water Control Technique has thus entered a completely new, transcendent realm!

[After a month of cultivation, your progress in the Transcendent Realm has not been smooth. You realize that you need a stronger divine sense to support you in order to complete this stage of cultivation and allow the Subtle Ripples Realm to undergo a complete transformation.]

【Qinglan Water Control Technique (Transcendental): 13/2000】

(Total cultivation time: 16 years, 0 months and 2 days)

He Sheng slowly opened his eyes. There was no glint of brilliance in his eyes, only a calm as deep as a lake.

He looked down at his palm, without making any hand seals or chanting any spells. With just a thought, a water ball the size of a fist appeared out of thin air in his palm.

The water sphere was crystal clear and slowly rotated a few inches above his palm, emitting a soft blue halo.

He enhanced his divine sense with the subtle ripples of the sphere, and in his ultra-subtle perception, the water sphere was no longer a blurry mass of water-based spiritual energy, but rather countless fine 'water elements' combined together in some mysterious way.

He could clearly "see" the location and state of each water element, as well as the spiritual energy flowing between them.

"Water is merely a vessel for my current abilities; the essence of the gentle ripples is not limited to water."

He Sheng suddenly realized that although his control over 'water' had reached a new level, it was actually just the effect of the subtle ripples enhancing the 'Clear Ripples Water Control Technique'.

Ripples... ripples.

If this concept itself manifests as supernatural powers, could it be that it has nothing to do with water?

He Sheng fell into deep thought.
