Oh, there's an idea. In order to avoid the backlash from other Sects have Hachiman turn all of the Sect's ground into a treasure that he can move, store it in Rockette along with all the Sect members. Take what he has done and make the Proto-Planes into their own plane and then transfer the sect into that new plane.

Very easy to keep yourself safe when you are the only inhabitants on the plane and its not like the Sect is losing out. Adam has already found out ways to mass-produce treasures.
 
That will save them from people on the current plane. But since the Sect Leader was worried about higher planes learning about the Soul Healing I assume there is a way for news to get up there. And those people will have ways to try and find then enter another plane, including a proto plane.
 
It should be within Adam's capability to develop specific defenses for his plane such as keeping it hidden.
For anyone on his cultivation level, sure. However, he can not be sure of the abilities of higher level cultivators, and as such cannot adequately defend against them. If you don't know what sight is, you can't make something invisible. If you don't know what hearing is, you can't make something inaudible. If you don't know how they can sense the plane, you can't hide the plane.

Worse, any defenses that Adam makes will make his individual bubble different from all the others. It'd be like hiding your house from detection by putting spotlights everywhere to block people's vision, and huge sirens so they can't hear you walking around...
 
Proto-Planes, technically. As the various planes intersect, proto-planes form. Those proto-planes grow until they either pop or become a new whole universe. Likely, it is the integration of both a Time and a Space bubble that forms a proper Plane.
I have this image of him claiming a planet and just throwing some energy in every so often, only to come back and find he accidentallyed a civilization that worships him.
 
Hum, I wonder, depending of how the ancestors lives and how their use their skills, if any of them is seeing a burning human that is also a eldritch-like being. Because with one hand the plane is huge and the space outside of it is probably a infinite that can win against the size of the void of (our) universe from sheer concept bullshit in the other hand these guys are bullshit enough to mess with time and space.

Anyway the MC just jumpstart some planes with the concept of (his) fire. The living beings that will appear there probably will appreciate that. The same for the plane if this interactions with the planes is something they are doing on purpose.

This also make happy this is more of day to day story than the a edgy/dark xianxia one. Because 'just' this skill can do untold destruction.
 
I'm not sure if this idea would have any advantage over what it appears Adam is currently doing, but… Could Adam just stabilize a large number of the smallest space bubbles he can find, then push them together so they're touching, reinforce their outer shared walls, and then pop their inner shared walls to merge them all together into a single dimensional bubble of the size he desires?

Actually… For all I know, that's what he's actually going to end up doing once he acquires a usable perspective to measure the size of a dimensional bubble against. Although, I'm not sure there would even be a point to merging numerous smaller bubbles, if bubbles of such a great variety of sizes are already available in seemingly endless quantity, and if the process of safely merging bubbles ends up somehow costing more energy than stabilizing a preexisting bubble of the desired size would take.

Come to think of it, it might end up being a more efficient use of energy and time to pursue a method to create storage rings with a purposefully selected collection of dimensional storage bubbles in the right sizes, with a sophisticated master control formation. Like: if you wanted a ring that could store a very large amount of a liquid, or of some kind of particulate matter like sand/gravel/seeds, you'd want a ring with an enormous number of very small bubbles that could split the deposit of matter between many bubbles. You'd also want your master control formation to keep track of the which bubbles were used for what deposit of material, and ideally, also keep track of the relative position of the contents of each bubble compared to the position of the contents of the other bubbles used for the same deposit, at the time that it was first stored. This should theoretically allow the ring to retrieve the entire deposit in more or less the same shape and distribution of pieces that it had when it was deposited. No guarantees though, if someone decides to only retrieve a fraction of a deposit; although there might be a "software" setting to only allow certain deposits of material to be retrieved all at once or not at all, without disabling a safety toggle. But that's mostly just for a ring that specializes in storing a reasonably uniform substance or substances cheaply… If you were to use statistical analysis on the size of the types of things that need to be stored for a specific purpose, like blacksmithing on the go, for example, you could build-in a certain safety margin in the size of the available storage bubbles bubbles, along with the number of bubbles of a given size. This would ideally result in a ring that is rated to hold a certain number of anvils, forges, ingots, tools, protective equipment (leather aprons/gloves and such), and combined volume of liquid for quenching and/or cleaning and/or etching, etc. All for a significantly lower cost to produce in terms of energy, and a resulting reduced price of purchase for those seeking to buy a ring with a given purpose in mind, as compared to a storage ring that has a high enough safety margin built into the size of its storage bubbles to be sold as a general purpose storage ring. On the subject of a "general purpose storage ring", I can see two different approaches to deciding the sizes of the storage bubbles. One: The brute-force method that wastes a ton of energy to create a modest number of relatively large storage bubbles that are guaranteed to fit a small number of items under a certain size. Two: The averaging method, which uses a series of storage bubbles that decend from a maximum sized bubble to minimum sized bubble, with the intermediate steps between decreasing linearly, and the number of step between choosen to equal the energy cost of creating general purpose storage ring of method number one. This second method would allow you to create a ring with a much greater total volume of storage for the same energy cost of the first method, while sacrificing some flexibility in what you can store in it, but in such a manner that is predicable, and based on the assumption that everything that you might want to store in a "general purpose" storage ring in not likely to all be of a size requiring the maximum-sized storage bubble.
 
Adam is going to accidentally develop a way for him to rifle through other people's bound storage rings/treasures undetected at this rate. He might not use it, but Rockette would in order to find new things for RESEARCH and simply trade a replacement item from Adam's growing list of cultivation curios. And Little Tianshi would totally practice that skill if she learned of it, Mr. Wiskers would help her.

I fully expect Adam to learn to walk between realms at will during the course of his experiments. Totally just wander through a Higher Realm Sect as a tourist whilst saying "Don't mind me." and then phase back to His home plane.
 
He wasn't sure if bad documentation was a cultural norm, a result of some sort of copy protection, or if living in a universe of concepts made writing down anything WITHOUT flowery language more tricky.

Dunno if someone already brought it up, but I read a story that had Heavenly Tribulations (lightning strike of fuck you) be the reason. The 'Heavens' don't like cultivation, hence getting hit at certain bottlenecks, and transferring this knowledge gets you hit as well. Using analogy and prose instead of plain language adds a layer of protection to the writer.

Obviously not the case here, or Adam would constantly be hit by lightning.

He seemed to be able to replicate some seeds quite quickly, and its possible he can replicate other types of treasures. So he could possibly 'steal' stuff, copy it, then send one of them back.
And thats if he even feels like keeping a copy of the things. He might just research them then can no more use for them and send it back without making a copy.

Normally that stuff in most stories is for when you go up a cultivation stage, so it wouldn't be 24/7 but it would be everytime he goes up a stage.
Unless of course he likes the lightning for some reason, and researches a way to summon it all the time.

On one hand, that's super bad, because he is actually trying to be stealthy. On the other hand, with his energy control..... well, being blinded by a spotlight shined into your eyes WOULD blind you, and sirens can be godawful loud :).
 
He just needs to pratice the stealth doctrine of "Nobody will know youre there if everyone is dead"

I thought he could already do that? Or at least he can do it now that he's figured out that a Storage Ring is just a pointer to an index.

Considering he's trying now to find the single largest bubble he can just snag wholescale we're about to see how big that is.

For all we know he can instantly consume storage units large enough to store apartment buildings, meaning that in the future any time he goes to store something he'll probably be using MASSIVELY oversized storage units. Like he'll go "I'll trade you one proto dimension of Soul Water" and they're like "One whole proto dimension? SURE!" (thinking it's like, coffin sized) and instead get a LAKE of Soul Water.
 
Space is big!
im thinking its going to be the size of a decently sized solar system
Pretty sure that Rockette isn't up to that level yet, much less a bite sized dimension.

Given a Rockette's probably at least one more BIG Cultivation advancement from "Surface of the Moon" (1.7 million meter radius) to "Surface of the earth" level (~6 million meter radius), and the one after that will probably be edging in at "Surface of the Sun" or at least Jupiter sized (~71.5 million meter to ~700 million meter radius) going from that to the next step given exponential growth... maybe Sol to Jupiter orbit (~780 Billion meters / 5 AU) or at least the Asteroid Belt (414 billion meters / 2.75 AU)? The one after THAT though would probably reach the Oort Cloud out past Pluto (50k AU - 100k AU)... Might need one more to get a full Solar System in given what we're finding from Voyager.

"Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space."

Editorial Edit: People talk about "Oh just a solar system size" No. The EARTH is ~ 1x10^12 cubic KILOMETRES, that's a QUADRILLION CUBIC KILOMETRES. The SUN? 1.5 x10^18 cubic kilometres, over a MILLION times bigger. The volume of 1 AU (the volume of the Earth's orbit) is 3.34 x10^24 cubic kilometres, a million times bigger than the sun!


Math Note: Granted with ACTUAL Exponential Growth this might actually be only a few jumps away... if it's true volumetric exponential growth then you go from the Volume of Earth to Volume From the Sun to Earth Orbit in one jump. Even with just one square to it's volume that's STILL not a Cubic Light Year which clocks in at 8.467 x10^38 KM^3, so by the time Adam can store a PLANET he needs roughly 6 more levels of Cultivation including 2 Breakthroughs to store an entire Solar System.
