Nightmare Immortal Era

Chapter 142: The Way of Natural Element Fusion

"Is this what he created?" Heng Ming sat upright in the Lin Mansion.

He witnessed with his own eyes the scene where two Spirit Law Realm cultivators were vaporized because they couldn't open the Grotto-Heaven and escape. For a moment, he felt like his brain wasn't enough to comprehend it!

These were Spirit Law Realm cultivators, who had achieved the indestructible Dharma body. Even if only a life seed remained, they could still survive. Yet, they died just like that, killed by a Qi Refining First Layer cultivator's Law Weapon?

That thing wasn't even a Spirit Weapon!

The first hydrogen bomb was assembled right in front of his eyes, and although he didn't witness the other hydrogen bombs, they were inside his body!

He naturally knew the structure and composition of those hydrogen bombs!

The shell? Just ordinary iron!

The interior? Just a bunch of gases commonly found in the sky!

The core? Just a special mineral used for the cultivation of Eighth Layer cultivators' physical bodies!

With just these things assembled together, what kind of power could it have?

But what was the result?

The two Spirit Law Realm cultivators who blocked his way were reduced to ashes, with no signs of resurrection. The Tower of Eternity was completely stunned.

No, there are things in this Extreme Eternal World that I can't understand?

With a thought, he had already returned to the Extreme Eternal Palace and arrived in front of Yang Ning and Yuan Xi, who were watching the live broadcast.

"How did you do it?" Heng Ming asked.

"What?"

"I'm asking that big mushroom, how did he do it? Why is the power so great?" Heng Ming asked.

"Well..." Yang Ning blinked and asked, "Senior Heng Ming, what is matter composed of?"

"Um..." Heng Ming was taken aback. He really didn't know the answer to this question!

But it didn't matter. He immediately picked up a stone and looked at it carefully.

After a long time, Heng Ming turned his head and said, "It seems like matter is composed of tiny particles."

"Is this what you saw?" Yang Ning pulled out another screen and showed it to Xiao Huan, who was also watching the live broadcast.

Yuan Xi only had Yang Ning in her mind, so she also listened to the lesson.

On the screen appeared crystalline particles.

"Yes, that's it!" Heng Ming nodded.

"I asked about matter, not just soil!" Yang Ning smiled and said, "Are metals and wood also composed of these things?"

Heng Ming blinked his eyes. He had already examined metals and wood.

"No, they're not!"

Yang Ning nodded and enlarged the crystals on the screen until the tightly arranged molecules were visible.

"This is the most basic structure of matter: molecules!"

"Huh?" Heng Ming looked confused. Matter could actually be magnified to such a large extent?

Moreover, the originally irregular crystals had such a beautiful structure after being magnified?

"This is just the basic structure of matter. Beneath matter, there are elements, and the basic structure of elements is atoms!"

These were basic physics knowledge taught in middle school. Physics wasn't even taught in elementary school, but middle school students could understand it easily, let alone cultivators and Immortal Weapons with more agile minds.

Yang Ning spoke very quickly, but with the explanation on the large screen, Yuan Xi and Heng Ming had no difficulty understanding. In just a few words, they already understood the basic concepts of atoms, molecules, quarks, atomic nuclei, and electrons.

Although nuclear fission and fusion were terrifying when they exploded, their basic principles were not difficult to understand. They were content that even elementary school students could understand. In less than ten minutes, Yang Ning had already explained why the West Liang 43 had such tremendous power.

Following that, there was confusion, shock, and even a sense of being at a loss.

"E=mc², there is such knowledge in this world?" Heng Ming blinked his eyes and suddenly thought of something. "Yang Ning, did you decipher the secret of the Purple Heart Stone and obtain the Supreme Divine Ability of the Jiangyun Kingdom?"

Others might not know who the Mysterious Heaven Sect was, but could he not know?

Not only did he know about the Mysterious Heaven Sect, but he also knew about Yang Ning's production base under the Yingzhou Sea. When the inner disciples of the Extreme Eternal Sect went to collect the Yang Shen Method in Yingzhou, he even helped to cover it up.

There was nothing he could do. An idle and almost invincible Immortal Weapon could only look for fun everywhere to give life meaning.

"No!" Yang Ning shook his head. This was the truth.

"Then how do you know all these things?" Heng Ming asked, as if he had thought of something. Heng Ming continued, "Of course, if you don't want to say, I won't force you. Extreme Eternal doesn't investigate the secrets of its disciples. Even if you really have other Supreme Divine Abilities, it doesn't matter!"

Yang Ning believed this. After all, his White Dragon's Absorption Method had never been closed since he advanced to the Qi Refining Stage. Could the Tower of Eternity not see it?

But he never asked.

"Well, there's nothing that can't be said!" Yang Ning thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know about the Qinshan incident?"

"I know!" Heng Ming nodded, but he only knew that there was such an incident, but he didn't know that Yang Ning had obtained a Dragon Ball.

Yuan Xi shook her head, she didn't know.

"Then let me tell you!" Since his wife didn't know, even if Heng Ming knew, he still had to say it again.

"When I just embarked on the path of cultivation, our flying boat was intercepted by Lin Tianheng after only 23 days in the sky. He said he was tracking a disciple of the Myriad Saints Alliance named Tuobu Chuan, who was hiding in Qinshan and couldn't be found by him, so he let us get off the flying boat to find him!"

Yuan Xi immediately frowned. The first month of entering the path of cultivation was important. Fourth brother, no, it's Lin Tianheng, how could he do such a thing?

This is a grudge against the Dao!

Yang Ning continued, "At that time, I had just started on the path of cultivation and didn't want to confront Tuobu Chuan, so after I got off, I didn't look for anyone, but found a river and practiced boxing on it!"

"Hmm!" Yuan Xi nodded. It was worthy of being Brother Ning. Although she had never tried practicing boxing on a river, she could imagine that it must be effective!

"And then, I discovered that the texture under the water droplets would become larger when they were touched by water!"

"Eh?" Heng Ming was stunned and immediately summoned a water droplet and placed it on the chair. He found that the texture under the water droplet did indeed become larger!

"Then I created the 'Pinghu Guzhou Visualization Method' that can manipulate water flow, and combined it with my own creation, the 'Seven Days Breathing Method,' to give birth to the 'Black Tortoise Aura Concealing Technique.'" Yang Ning said, "Of course, that's not the point. The point is that I found that if I use two water droplets, I can make things appear larger at a certain distance!"

"Is there such a thing?" Tower of Eternity became even more confused. He immediately summoned two water droplets and after some pulling closer and farther, hey, it really worked!

"I used this method and discovered that the human body is actually composed of round and flat things. I named them cells!"

Heng Ming blinked. He knew about cells. They were called the seeds of life in the Extreme Eternal World.

"I was thinking that cells are definitely not the limit of microscopic time, after all, cells come in all shapes and sizes!" Yang Ning said, "So I made larger water droplets that can magnify things even more!"

"There was no progress all along, until Mingyun Xiu gave me a bottle of Golden Cauldron Pill!"

Heng Ming waved his hand and took out a bottle of Golden Cauldron Pill.

Yang Ning's mouth twitched. This guy seemed like a little Doraemon, how could he pull out everything?

"This Golden Cauldron Pill can emit a power of the golden cauldron, which can suppress qi and blood and allow multiple temperings of qi and blood!" Yang Ning said, "And I found that after leaving the Golden Cauldron Pill for a while, it actually became lighter!"

"It should be because the medicinal effect has dissipated, right?" Yuan Xi asked.

"That's one way to put it!" Yang Ning said, "But it's not that the medicinal effect has dissipated, but that something in the elements has dissipated!"

The Golden Cauldron Pill was collected from heavy metals when cultivating the Purple Cloud Golden Cauldron Qi. This thing is actually the radioactive element cesium-137.

The half-life of cesium-137 is as long as 30 years, but when consumed in the form of the Golden Cauldron Pill, it can completely decay within just one week under the influence of qi and blood.

Yang Ning said, "When my mining robot was searching for minerals underwater, it also found this thing. I initially thought it was naturally formed, but after observing it for a while, I discovered that these metals are actually produced by another kind of metal!"

Yang Ning took out a shiny green ore that was still emitting fluorescence.

Uranium-235.

If it weren't for the four cultivators sitting here, they would basically be able to eat their fill.

"This kind of ore can actually produce Golden Cauldron Qi!" Yang Ning said, "I couldn't figure it out at first, but after conducting some research, I discovered atoms and the secret of atomic fission. I named this green ore uranium, and after fission, uranium produces Golden Cauldron Qi, which I named cesium!"

As for the details of the research...

Yang Ning didn't say, and Heng Ming and Yuan Xi didn't ask either. Whether it was the study of cultivation techniques or artifact refining, it was all classified as top secret.

Even if Yang Ning had already revealed this information, if it were placed in the hands of any artifact refining master, it would still be considered highly classified!

"I know about this uranium!" Heng Ming nodded. The core of the hydrogen bomb is made of it. "What about the liquid outside?"

Yang Ning casually threw the Golden Cauldron Qi into the nearby lake, and the lake water exploded with a bang. Then, a light gas formed in the midst of the explosion!

Cesium-137 explodes when it comes into contact with water, producing hydrogen gas!

Heng Ming's eyes lit up. "So that's how it is!"

He didn't know the difference between ordinary hydrogen gas and helium-3. From a visual perspective, the two gases didn't seem to have much difference in terms of density and mass.

Yang Ning smiled faintly. "So, with uranium and helium, when you put them together, you get Xiliang 43!"

He said it as if he had solved the Goldbach Conjecture with a simple 1+1=2, very casual.

The key was that Heng Ming and Yuan Xi didn't know how difficult it was. Seeing Yang Ning being so casual, they thought making a hydrogen bomb was really that simple!

"I didn't expect that natural substances could be so mysterious!" Heng Ming said, his eyes becoming brighter.

He had long reached a bottleneck in his cultivation and couldn't make any progress. He could only wander around every day.

But who wouldn't want to become stronger?

And now, what Yang Ning discovered, well, the way of nature or the way of elemental fusion, seemed to have opened up a new path for him!

I can continue to become stronger!

Thinking of this, when Heng Ming looked at Yang Ning again, his gaze was no longer that of looking at a junior.
