“Not a True Monarch?”
Shen Yuan’s words struck like a thunderbolt in the Maine Coon’s heart.
The Maine Coon wanted to instinctively refute his statement.
“How is it possible! I clearly saw those void rifts tearing apart demons, the flying swords that could break the Bronze Head Iron Arm Divine Power just with their momentum, and the casually created storage ring.
He must definitely be a Tru….”
The Maine Coon’s thoughts suddenly halted, a bolder idea flashed across its mind.
“He’s not a True Monarch, but someone stronger than a True Monarch!”
Once this thought was released, countless other thoughts emerged like a tidal wave.
“Yes! true Monarchs from before the Era of Spirit Energy Depletion were indeed powerful, but it has been three thousand years since that cultivation epoch.
After such a long time, even True Monarchs are nearing their limits and definitely cannot achieve the full vitality and absence of decay that the gentleman possesses.
And now, the environment is still far from the peak of the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge. It is not capable of sustaining the presence of a True Monarch, especially for those about to step into the Unity Realm Stage, the incomplete world is a deadly poison.
Only those stronger than a True Monarch could freely traverse the world, even flexibly using flying swords and crafting storage artifacts.”
“A Taoist Doyen of the Unity Realm? Or a banished immortal who has ascended to the Immortal Realm?”
At this moment, the Maine Coon no longer harbored any hostility towards Shen Yuan. All that remained was a heart full of reverence.
It bowed its head, responding respectfully:
“Yes, sir!”
Shen Yuan could not have imagined that the Maine Coon would extrapolate so much. Now, he was fully engaged in crafting the second storage ring.
The storage ring previously given to the Maine Coon was entirely meant to pay for material costs and inexperienced practice.
Once he had preliminarily confirmed how to control the Pot’s Heaven Divine Power, Shen Yuan began to seriously create this second storage ring.
During the creation process, Shen Yuan found that there was virtually no upper limit to the space that could be opened by Pot’s Heaven Divine Power as long as there was sufficient Divine Sense. What truly limited the storage ring’s space size was the intrinsic quality of the Spirit Wood itself.
The better the quality of the Spirit Wood, the larger the storage ring’s space it could create.
However, this did not mean that all spirit objects could be used to create a storage ring.
To create a space with a spirit object, two necessary conditions had to be met.
The first one was that the spirit object itself had to possess a certain mass to support a stable space.
If the Spirit Wood itself is only the size of a grain of rice, due to its small mass, the spirit energy and spirit wood traits it possesses have difficulty activating, making it impossible to create a stable space.
The second condition was that the spirit object intended to create a storage space needed to meet the initial concept of having a certain space structure.
The water bottles, ceramic vessels, matchboxes, and other objects Shen Yuan used before all possess conventional storage space structures. Naturally, spaces opened with spirit objects were no exception.
The ring shape of the storage ring does not have conventional storage functionality, but also embodies the concept of spatial structure.
Moreover, using storage rings is more economical in terms of material use and more convenient for carrying, which is why most storage artifacts in the Cultivation World are storage rings.
Shen Yuan created storage artifacts for convenience in trading and using, so naturally, he wouldn’t go out of his way to make strangely shaped storage artifacts. The storage ring is undoubtedly the best choice.
His fingertip, like a knife, gently carved on the ring. For the second storage ring Shen Yuan did not choose to directly open the space with Pot’s Heaven Divine Power, but to let his Divine Sense follow the rhythm of space, carving segment after segment of patterns on the rough ring.
Patterns like auspicious clouds became apparent on the surface of the storage ring. Although these patterns could not increase the size of the storage space, they could on some level rectify the internal form of the storage space, enhancing the stability of the space.
As the last wood chip fell, a rustic ring with cloud patterns appeared in Shen Yuan’s hand.
Compared to the one Shen Yuan gave to the Maine Coon, this storage ring finally had the look a magic artifact should have. Combined with the divine scent emitted from the red sandalwood from Yunfu, it gave off a fresh, unadorned flavor.
Appreciating the storage ring in his hand, Shen Yuan directed his Divine Sense into it, seeing that it had about three cubic meters of internal space.
For red sandalwood from Yunfu, this kind of low-grade Spirit Wood, this was maximizing the traits of the spirit wood itself.
If it were given to a Refiner, the cost of void stones for engraving space formations alone would be millions of times the value of the red sandalwood from Yunfu. Not to mention, it is still unknown whether a Refiner of that caliber could be found in the current Cultivation World.
Under these circumstances, the value of the storage ring that Shen Yuan crafted naturally increased.
Nonchalantly placing the storage ring on his finger, Shen Yuan picked up the third piece of red sandalwood from Yunfu and put it into the storage ring. He did not choose to start crafting right away.
Today was the first time he had ever opened a space truly based on a spirit object, entirely different from the space hand grenades he had casually made before.
Space hand grenades didn’t need to consider spatial stability at all. They only required forcibly opening a space and predicting its collapse time; there was no technical content involved.
The opening of spirit object spaces allowed Shen Yuan to truly touch the profound mysteries of spatial dimensions for the first time.
With Divine Sense expanding infinitely, every single rhythm of space, every tiny vibration, could be reflected on the created storage ring, resulting in completely different internal spatial form and stability.
This experience of integrating Divine Sense and space was something other low-level cultivators could never comprehend.
Until now, Shen Yuan finally glimpsed the tip of the iceberg of the Earthly Destroyer Divine Power.
With countless thoughts surging in his heart, the next moment Shen Yuan felt the green calabash seed formed from the Pot’s Heaven Divine Power in his right hand dim slightly, a great deal of information entering his brain with this change.
His eyes lightly closed, Shen Yuan sat silently at the stone table, perceiving the information flowing into his mind.
There was a silence throughout the courtyard. There seemed to be an invisible spatial fluctuation slowly spreading around Shen Yuan.
The fur of the white cat Bai Xue, in Shen Yuan’s arms, puff up in an instant. Its aberrant pupils filled with terror, but right now it didn’t even have the courage to move, fearing to disrupt Shen Yuan’s enlightenment.
The Maine Coon, who has reached the Qi transformation stage, also lay prostrate on the ground, not even daring to breathe.
It clearly sensed a change in the surrounding environment and guessed that the source of the change was the enigmatic gentleman in front of him, but it had no idea what the change was.
When the ripples of the spatial fluctuation completely enveloped the entire courtyard, Shen Yuan finally woke from his moment of enlightenment.
Opening his eyes again, the courtyard appeared as usual, but in Shen Yuan’s eyes, the whole courtyard seemed to have turned into an inseparable entity on a spatial level.
Combining the plethora of information in his mind, Shen Yuan finally made his own judgment.
“Pot’s Heaven Divine Power, finally I’ve gained a first basic glimpse.”
