Chapter 364: Power Plant
Xiang Yu sat down next to the spirit spring as the cave began shaking around him.
He was using his Spirit Vein Body to renovate the cave.
He thought to himself that it was time to try something he had been thinking about for a while now - the nuclear power plant plan.
Ever since he created his nuclear heal ability, he had been thinking of ways to implement the concept into his body and make an internal power plant that generates bloodline essence.
He had thought about it for a while now and discovered that his idea was actually flawed from the start. The heal ability relied on converting tiny mass into pure qi and regeneration energy, meaning if he started doing that inside him, he’d just be getting more qi and regeneration that he already had more than he knew what to do with.
It seemed that he needed to rethink the entire idea.
After some research and a few reworks, he had come up with another idea.
Since his bloodlines were always under constant stimulation as they tried to expand, causing them to always generate excess essence but later condense it into themselves as they didn’t have space to expand into, Xiang Yu decided on another idea.
He was going to make this process even more insane.
At the moment, he was allowing the bloodlines to stimulate each other and condense at their own pace, but this was too slow. Even if their violence was growing the more they condensed into themselves, Xiang Yu felt the process was simply too slow for his liking.
Instead of letting them continue like this, Xiang Yu was going to smash thousands of tiny essences together and fuse them forcefully.
Just like in stellar nucleosynthesis, the fusion process would release energy. He’d then use this energy for the next fusion, fusing the now five hundred essences together. This would produce even more energy, and he could use it to fuse the two fifty, one twenty five, sixty, thirty - like that.
That was just the basic idea. In reality, he would start with a pool of like a million tiny essences. As he fused them, they would grow even more violent and continue their fight, causing them to generate even more tiny essences that would instantly enter Xiang Yu’s fusion pool and continue endlessly fusing.
In theory, the fusion would continue until the essences became so heavy that they would require the energy of a supernova to fuse. But Xiang Yu didn’t think it would really get there in his lifetime. After all, stars get to this level over millions of years.
Even though he was accelerating it and would probably accelerate the process even further the more time went on and his understanding and power grew, he didn’t think it would reach that level.
And even if it did, then what? Would the force of a supernova explosion be enough to finally take his bloodlines to the divine stage? What about the primordial stage?
...
As he thought of this, he suddenly paused.
Maybe he was dreaming too much. There had to be some sort of wall, right?
From the stellar nucleosynthesis where he was drawing his theory from, it’s said that at some point, you could hit a wall. Like when fusing iron, instead of releasing energy, it actually absorbs energy, meaning at some point, he would need to pay for the fusion and get no extra energy for the next fusion out of it.
He sighed. Well, he would see.
His cultivation was also increasing, so he should be able to pay for it, right? And even if he couldn’t, he could just wait. These high-level fusions would be so concentrated and releasing billions of essences. If he fused them continuously to the last point where they release energy, would he be able to save up energy for at least one of the high-level fusions?
He then smiled. Or he could become even more ambitious.
He glanced at the spirit vein. He thought to himself that if he could continue endlessly fusing to such high concentrations to the point that his entire bloodline was filled with these heavy essences to the brim, meaning he couldn’t make any more low-level essences, then could he use something like the spirit vein? Since it got energy from the world tree, couldn’t he absorb all the energy needed from it and feed it into the essences to allow the fusion?
Then maybe he could breakthrough to the divine rank using this method.
But after some thought, he shook his head. Well, he wasn’t even sure if his idea would work in the first place. He was jumping too far ahead. He settled and closed his eyes, entering a state of extreme concentration. He needed to start implementing the power plant plan.
As main Xiang Yu was working on this idea, the spirit vein body was also busy at work. Xiang Yu stretched his branches, pushing out the cave and busting it open. It couldn’t really be called a cave anymore.
Xiang Yu thought to himself that this place was simply too small. It was time for some expansion.
He had already talked with his master and martial aunt about this, and they had offered him a large piece of land. Now that he thought about it, he felt like the son who didn’t leave his parents’ land no matter what. Well, at least he wasn’t unfilial to his master and martial aunt and provided some real value. They shouldn’t mind him taking a portion of their land, right?
He remembered that his martial aunt had the phoenix bloodline. He decided to make her a noble blood next time as thanks. It was just noble blood essence. If his plan worked, that would be like nothing to him.
Xiang Yu continued flattening the land using his branches.
He had already put up a concealment formation around the land he wished to transform so the disciples wouldn’t be frightened when they saw a huge tree monster flattening the land.
After Xiang Yu flattened a few good miles, he then began construction. His method of construction was quite unique to say the least.
He just used the spirit vein to sprout veins onto the surface, then molded them into houses. Since he had complete control over the spirit vein, he could mold them into unique and beautiful structures. And they even had the added benefit of being part of the spirit vein, making them quite sturdy.
In just a few hours, the lone cave had now transformed into quite the scenery. He’d even positioned the flowers he wanted strategically around the paths, making the scene look absolutely stunning.
And for the main house, it was more like a castle than a house really.
He admired his craftsmanship, all he had left was to bring home the wife.
