Chapter 543 -318: Magical Treasure
The lifeline magic weapon is the most important magical tool for a cultivator, and even though a cultivator may possess many magical tools, none can shake the importance of the lifeline magic weapon.
A cultivator’s lifeline magic weapon is unique; the bond between it and the cultivator is exceptionally close, nurtured by the Golden Core for years, which makes it grow much more than any other magical tools.
Generally, cultivators choose either their strongest offensive or defensive magical tool to be their lifeline weapon, and this choice relates to their self-identification.
For sword cultivators, their lifeline magic weapon is, without a doubt, the lifebound flying sword.
Some cultivators who cherish their lives will choose a defensive tool as their lifeline weapon, which provides them with extremely strong defensive power.
Li Shiming didn’t set specific boundaries for himself; with his sword cultivation golden core avatar Li Yuanba for offense, he didn’t need to worry much about insufficient attack power.
Of course, his avatar Li Yuanba is currently separated from him, affiliated with the realms of good and evil respectively, but he was looking to the future, not the present.
Li Shiming wanted to attempt to refine the IBMz15 into his lifeline magic weapon, but he wasn’t sure whether it would be successful, mainly because the IBMz15 was too peculiar.
He decided to try it out; if successful, that would be great, but if he couldn’t refine the IBMz15 as his lifeline magic weapon, he would have to choose another.
The ‘Five Elements Qi Refining Technique’ includes a method to refine a lifeline magic weapon. Every cultivation method with a legacy comes not just with methods of cultivation, but also a comprehensive suite of secret techniques.
His divine thought entered the server room space, transforming into a master recognition pattern; refining a lifeline magic weapon requires imprinting it with the owner’s mark.
Within the server room space, a master recognition pattern formed of spiritual power emerged and, guided by his intentions, flew towards the IBMz15.
He quietly sensed the state of the IBMz15, waiting for it to change.
But after the master recognition pattern was cast, there was no reaction from the IBMz15 at all.
He didn’t give up, reasoning that since the IBMz15 had come to this world with him and was bound to him in a special way, it might be possible to deepen this connection and make it his lifeline magic weapon.
Most crucially, he felt an inexplicable strong conviction about refining the IBMz15 into his lifeline magic weapon.
He wouldn’t be discouraged by the unsuccessful attempts with the master recognition pattern; he would keep trying until he had truly exhausted all options.
Li Shiming’s spiritual power was formidable, but after casting hundreds of master recognition patterns in succession, he still felt fatigued.
He stopped his efforts, vaguely sensing something had changed.
In his consciousness that surveyed the server room space, the IBMz15 was still in its original place, seemingly unchanged, but he had the feeling that the IBMz15 was different from before.
The IBMz15 had lost something; although it could still boot up and operate, it seemed to lack something.
As for what exactly was missing, even with his microscopic-level inspection, he could not find out what it was.
His spirit returned to his physical body, and in the center of the Five Elements Qi Absorption Array formed by five Golden Cores, an ethereal IBMz15 appeared.
This ethereal IBMz15, like an inanimate object, indeed felt to him like his lifeline magic weapon.
He thought that if extracted from within, this lifeline magic weapon couldn’t kill a person even if used to hit them, but if it couldn’t be activated, then hitting people might be its only use.
Li Shiming thought of something; a slight intention and five currents flowed from the five Golden Cores into the ethereal IBMz15.
With the boost of electrical energy, the ethereal IBMz15, despite being in an energy state, began operating like a normal large-scale server.
A moment later, the ethereal IBMz15 booted up normally, with a startup time so fast that not even a desktop computer could match, let alone a large server.
But considering that the IBMz15 had become his lifeline magic weapon, now transformed into an energy state within him, such speedy startup was to be expected.
At the very moment the IBMz15 booted up, Li Shiming felt his brain connect with the IBMz15, a connection completely different from before.
Previously, he had used his five senses as external peripherals for the IBMz15, but now he was fused with the IBMz15, his brain becoming one of its CPUs.
He felt as if his consciousness split into 191 parts, with each of the IBMz15’s 190 CPUs becoming an actual brain, plus his original brain, giving him a total of 191 brains.
This wasn’t simply multitasking, but the real physical brains.
Each brain could multitask independently without affecting the others.
He even could feel that his previous use of the IBMz15’s performance hadn’t even reached 1%.
Now, whenever he thought of certain knowledge, all related data previously stored in the IBMz15 would be instantly retrieved and analyzed; the entire process completed in an instant.
Needless to say, his memory had also improved significantly: everything his eyes saw, ears heard, nose smelt, and all his perceptions could now be stored in real-time in the IBMz15 to be called upon whenever needed in the future.
The IBMz15’s assistance with formation techniques was most evident, and thinking of this, he summoned his Array Formation Starlight Sea.
The Array Formation Starlight Sea, somewhat dim due to previous spiritual extraction, brightened slightly when it appeared as it established a connection with the IBMz15.
The IBMz15, as if discovering a new plugin, integrated the Array Formation Starlight Sea as an extension of itself.
The previously dim Array Formation Starlight Sea began to recover some of its brightness in mere moments.
