Eternal Cultivation and Martial Core!

There was a low humm in the abdomen of Ace as inside the small ball, there was a small turbine spinning at an incredible rate. The force that was powering it was coming from inside the core itself. The spritual force was being burned by the turbine to produce rotation and then a centrifugal pump was connected to the shaft of the turbine.

As the shaft spun, the Fan inside the centrifugal pump would also spin and produce suction force. There were many intricate small parts which increased the efficiency of this machine. The pump's head was directly connected to the meridians where the suction was produced and because the pump was made of spritual force, it was able to provide to suction to spritual force in the meridians.

The meridians were like strong pipes through which a huge amount of spritual force was being sucked in and sent towards the pump.

Ace was sitting on the ground with his eyes closed and observing the operation of this small machine. He included almost a 250 different parts and because they were made from spritual force, there was no need to Join them together, The forces would balance each other out and combine with each other on their own. He just needed to make sure that he injected equal amount of all elemental spritual force into each part.

There were glaring issues that ace found after half a day of observation. The first and the biggest issue was the strength of the pump. Although there was suction in his main meridians, the suction would become weak inside small and thin meridians. His body had so many ways that spritual force can enter his body and this reduced the efficiency.

Another problem was that he couldn't make the solid spritual force strong enough as the parts were in delicate balance but he needed more repelling force between the elements. Fire, light and thunder were similar elements and the repulsion between them was not to his satisfaction. There was a simple solution to this, he needed to add more elements to his body, water, darkness and earth which were directly opposite of the elements that he had.

The third and the biggest issue was that his body wasn't strong enough. The load on his body was huge and to efficiently fight with this machine running in his body, he needed a strong body.

Although there were issues, there were solution to these issues too. The issue of suction, there was a simple solution. He needed to make a storage tank. The storage was like a pressurized tank which would store the spritual force that pump absorbed. He could also change the type of pump to a plunger type pump but on that kind of pump, the pressure on his body was enormous.

It would simply destroy his body with just one stroke of the pump. He tried many ideas but couldn't think of a way to make this plunger pump work. He can only wait for the future when his cultivation was higher.

The second issue was also easy, he needed to make a new cultivation technique based on the [rebirth through flames] Cultivation technique. This was the technique that helped him introduce the Fire elemental spiritual force to his body and he needed to find a way to do that with other elements. It was easier said than done as the technique was really complex and required a huge amount of time to research and experiment.

The third issue of his body though was solvable right at that time as he slowly focused on the machine. He consciously started burning his spritual force inside of the turbine to make it spin faster as the suction force started absorbing the huge amount spritual force present around him. The pile of spritual crystals were slowly being depleted as the speed of suction increased.

the speed of cultivation while he was conciously burning was at least 5 times faster than other techniques out there. When the pump was working by itself, it was at least 1.5 times faster than others and he didn't even have to do anything for him to cultivate. it was automatic and his body would cultivate on his own at a faster speed then others.

His body was giving off vibrations as the low humm of the machine was spread in the room. The spritual force was focused in his abdomen as he guided the spritual force through his body in specific way that was described in the Rebirth through flames. His muscles started expanding and contracting as they were strengthened one by one.

Hi biceps grew at least by an inch and his chest and abs were more puffed and refiled after an hour of cultivation. His body was rapidly transforming. The spritual force that flooded his whole body and didn't get absorbed was being released back into atmosphere from his body. He looked as if he was on fire and releasing a huge amount of energy from his whole body. Soon, the muscles in his forearms started to transform.

The Meridians in his arms were swelling up as they expanded. There was a huge amount of spritual force being directed towards the arms as his palms also started transforming. the pores all over his body opened up and released impurities outside and because there was rapid pressure of spritual force, the impurities were sprayed all around him. His hand muscles went through subtle transformation and soon, His skin tone changed. The Golden color of his hand on his skin started to change. There was more luster to it now and a tinge of purple could be seen on both his hands. This purple color was limited to his forearms and palms as the only change in his body was that he was more muscular and his body's golden color was more lustrous now.

If he looked like a Person painted in gold color before, now he looked as if he was made from gold. His hands looked as if they were real metal hands. Ace stopped cultivation and stood up as he looked at his palms.

" Strange, Why am i becoming more and more golden? Why can't i keep my human skin color? " He swiftly injected a small sample gun on his hand to take a small sample of his skin. The gun was able to dig into the skin and cut away a really small portion of skin with a small blade. But this time, as soon as Ace pressed the button with the gun on his forearms, the blade of the gun was bent like a paper. He was surprised as he looked at his hand.

He slowly walked to the wall and punched the wall with casual force. * Boom! Crack! * There were several cracks on the rock wall where the punch hit but his hand didn't even have a scratch. He was surprised as he smiled " This is the formation of Martial Core! Just like a Spirit Core, My martial prowess is focused in my martial core." He thought as he looked at his golden fist with a purple luster.

It was second day of the week and there were still five more days to go before his fight. He smiled as he looked at his hands " Hmm, am i getting stronger too fast? " He slowly closed his eyes and thought deeply about it. He was spreading joy and happiness among the desciples and the people of the Cultivation world were addicted to his technology. He almost had a thought that he could conquer the world with technology but as soon as he thought like that, he remembered his fight with undead abomination.

He witnessed the power of Grandmaster Realm there. He imagined how a water elemental spirit Grandmaster was able to conjure a water dragon the size of a building and thought about the levels of strength beyond that. There was Spirit lord level above the grandmaster and spirit king above that. Then there was emperor level and even the level of God.

He looked at his hands as he sighed " What am i in front of a god? The multiverse is huge and if i want to survive, I would need more personal strength...." his eyes were on the bigger target. This world was just a warm up for him, there were countless multiverse that he needed to visit and countless lifeforms he needed to see and fight and kill.

" I am but a spark in front of raging flames but today i start my journey to become the inferno myself! " He clenched his fist as he looked at the starry sky outside. He then extended his hand towards the sky as if he was trying to break through an invisible barrier. " I would become even stronger than gods one day...."
