Chapter 731: Chapter 620: The Nest’s Second Transformation and Refining Void Great Success (2)

More importantly, as the proliferation occurs, the information processing nodes within the nest will also increase.

This means its calculation power will grow with the increase in size, and the information processing ability will also improve, which in turn will accelerate its absorption and transformation speed.

This forms a positive cycle: the bigger, the faster; the faster, the bigger.

When the calculation power becomes strong enough, even external attacks will be absorbed and transformed into its own body.

Energy attacks hit it, are parsed, reorganized, absorbed by the information nodes; physical attacks hit it, are buffered, enveloped, devoured by its gel-like body.

This means, unless the nest is destroyed from the beginning, it will become increasingly difficult to kill.

Of course, this growth isn’t unlimited.

Constrained by biological individuals and technology, the growth rate of information nodes cannot keep up with the growth rate of the volume.

When the nest grows to a certain critical point, it can only absorb the surrounding material and energy to maintain its current size, unable to continue expanding.

But Jeming thought of another strategy: he installed an array in the nest’s core zone that connects to the Fate System.

When the nest reaches a certain size, the intelligence is enhanced, it can actively invoke the calculation power of the Fate System to amplify its information processing capability.

With these two combined, although the limit of the normal size has not changed much, the limit size of the nest in combat far exceeds the initial expectation.

According to the design model of Jeming and Viola, the nest in combat can even devour energy and material equivalent to the size of an entire medium plane.

And if the nest can truly devour an entire medium plane, its calculation power and size will reach a terrifying level.

At that time, its combat capability could even confront an ordinary Seventh Level Wizard head-on.

In the desert, the nest is swelling at a visible speed.

From basketball-sized to water-tank-sized, from water-tank-sized to house-sized, from house-sized to hill-sized.

The yellow sand is crazily devoured, the elements floating in the air are drained away, and a vacuum zone even appears around the nest.

Its surface blue light becomes increasingly bright, like a blue sun fallen on the ground.

Jeming estimated, from the time it was dropped to now, only a minute has passed.

The nest’s size has surpassed one kilometer, and the growth speed is still accelerating.

Its aura is also steadily and rapidly climbing, from initially inconspicuous, to First Level, Second Level, Third Level.

"Almost enough." Jeming raised his hand, a spirit reached into the core of the nest, issuing the command to stop.

The devouring action of the nest came to an abrupt halt.

The surface blue light slowly dimmed, the expansion speed dropped sharply, eventually halting at a diameter of about 1.5 kilometers.

It lies quietly in the desert, like a blue lake.

Jeming landed on the surface of the nest, squatting down, placing his palm on the gel-like skin.

Spiritual power probes in, checking its internal state.

"Information nodes are operating normally, energy circuits are stable, Fate System connection is smooth. Combat strength assessment... should be at the Third Level Wizard standard, and still slowly increasing."

"Not bad." Jeming stood up, brushed off nonexistent dust from his hand.

Viola fell beside him, checked once more, nodded contently: "Better than expected."

Jeming raised his hand, the portal of his Inner Grotto Heaven opened, a powerful suction pulled the nest from the desert, sending it into the depths of the Grotto Heaven.

There is enough space and resources for it to continue growing, so the next time it is needed, it should have matured to an even higher level.

The two flew back to the laboratory, neither speaking along the way.

After all, both were just too tired.

Months of continuous work, countless scheme overturns, countless precise operations, even if they are Wizards, both their spirit and physical strength were already at the limit.

Jeming pushed open the laboratory door, walked straight to the two recliners in the corner.

Viola brought them in months ago, saying it was "for unforeseen needs."

Looking at it now, this might be her most prescient move during this visit.

Each sprawled into a recliner, simultaneously let out a long breath.

"Next time there’s such work," Viola’s voice floated from beside, weakly, "find someone else."

Jeming closed his eyes, the corners of his mouth subtly rising: "Didn’t you just say ’better than expected’?"

"That was complimenting the nest, not you."

"Oh."

"Besides, you haven’t paid me yet."

"Didn’t I already give you an Entropy Brain?"

"That was the previous rate, do you think that single one is worth my hardship during this period?"

Jeming paused for a moment, took out a thumb-sized Entropy Brain from his spatial equipment, tossing it towards Viola’s direction.

"I’m running low too, use it sparingly."

Viola caught the Entropy Brain, lifted it in front of her eyes to look, a satisfied smile curled on her lips, she said no more.

The laboratory quieted down, only the low buzzing of the Rune Array on the wall.

After resting for long, Jeming finally regained his strength, turned his head towards Viola: "My work here is done, where do you plan to go next to have fun?"

Viola tilted her head and pondered: "Not sure. Do you have any recommendations?"

Jeming gazed at the ceiling. After a long while, he shook his head.

"I really have nothing fun here. Perhaps..." he paused, "I let the Black Giant Priest show you around? The Purgatory Sulfur Plane is much larger now than before, some places have quite a nice scenery."

Viola rolled her eyes: "You’ve already mentioned this once before, alright, who’s interested in scenery."

She stood up and brushed off the dust from her body: "Forget it, I’ll find amusement myself. You continue being busy with your work."

"Alright, see you."

Viola waved her hand, pushed the door, and left.

Her footsteps gradually faded, the laboratory quieted once more.

...

...

Several decades later.

The secret room’s door opened, Jeming emerged, covered in a thin layer of dust.

Standing at the doorway, facing the gray-red sky of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane, he let out a long sigh.

Behind him, the thousand-meter tall dark-gold Dharma form was slowly dissipating, being retracted within.

Feeling the connection with the Dharma form, Jeming nodded in satisfaction.

At this stage, he can be considered to have achieved Refining Void Great Success.

The Dharma form has solidified to the extent of nearing corporeality, even without using Spiritual Power it can influence the outside world.

This is the advantage of the Void Refinement Realm.

As long as resources are ample, the cultivation speed can be extraordinarily exaggerated.

Billions of followers providing Incense Fire Divine Power, Seventh Level Large Elemental Pool’s energy transformation into Spiritual Qi, rare materials bought on the Magic Net...

Jeming relied on these things, taking only a few decades, to forcefully progress from initially entering Refining Void to Refining Void Great Success.

However, even so, his speed is still not considered outstanding.

According to the records in the Great Dao Book Pavilion, in the Cultivation Immortality World, there exists an elixir called "Body Condensing Pill," by swallowing which one can complete Void Refinement Realm cultivation within a day.

But using decades to complete a journey others take hundreds or even thousands of years, he is already quite content.

Next, only the final step remains: merging the true body with the Dharma form, enabling the Dharma form to become the true body.

At that time, his current physical form will completely vanish, replaced by the thousand-meter tall dark-gold Dharma form.

Of course, in daily life, he can still transform back into a normal human appearance, but his "essence" has already changed.

Once this step is completed, the Void Refinement Realm is considered perfect, ready to break through to Unity anytime.

Over these decades, he did nothing except cultivation, because the state of the Void Refinement Realm is too perilous.

Although, thanks to countless generations of cultivators’ improvements, now the Void Refinement Realm won’t decrease combat power during cultivation, that special state of "Essence, Qi, and Spirit dispersal" still exists.

Miscellaneous thoughts easily breed, Heart Demon easily invades, mental state easily develops issues.

For this, Jeming chose the most prudent method: to forge ahead and directly achieve perfection.

Upon reaching perfection, the transformation of the cultivator’s life form is essentially completed, the Dharma form and true body become one, Essence, Qi, and Spirit return to Unity, and that dangerous state will automatically dissolve.

At that time, he can feel secure.
