Poison God's Heritage

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.

The durability of such a metal and its ability to supply high level communications will help me in upgrading most of my puppets to the next level, including Y.

Finally the third metal. Blood steel.

A red alloy that has the durability of neutron steel and mellowness of blood depending on how one infuses it. It might sound contradictive at first, however this type of alloy is extremely efficient in use. The applications of it are endless. Depending on the Qi charge sent to it, it can harden or soften, and can even change its shape however one likes. And this one is my favorite.

I always had issues with different types of formations and inscriptions that are needed on the fly. I had to sit down and create several formations at times. However, with the BloodSteel's mellowness and ability for it to change shape depending on the Qi charge sent to it, I can create something that will allow me to bypass that step.

A computer of sorts. A computer in a cultivation world, the mere thought of it is making me grin.

Though it isn't as fancy as it sounds. The idea is simple, I already have the five elemental qi orb that I created based on the wisest sun's five keys. The orb that I made due to my boredom back in the spatial tunnel. It was able to easily generate law liens and modify the laws of the nearby world by commanding it. Now if I were to add an outer spherical system that is full of basic imperial inscriptions I should be able to make a structure that can input inscriptions.

With the idea in mind I began carving more pieces using Gedingzhi Tong. Its copper base and sturdiness would help greatly in protecting the inner core that is able to modify laws.

I pulled out my carving tools and began slicing and cutting parts and pieces of the copper base metal. Most pieces were thankfully already transformed into pure ingots, so I only needed to cut away the parts I needed. And like a Rubik' cube I began adding bits and pieces to it.

I thought about this a bit ago. And how to even manage to implement something as daunting as this in practical life. And I came up with an idea that might sound childish but at the same time impeccably perfect for this task.

The middle core of this 'toy' will be the elemental mind, the neutron law core and then it will be linked with Thundersteel to the outer walls which will be a square of a ten by ten square cube.

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 10x10 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. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

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."
