Chapter 529: Chapter 369: Acquired Artificial Artifact Spirit Method

"Large-scale Cultivation Realm..."

Zhong Heng murmured these five words softly.

The Golden Core Elders around Zhong Heng all wore serious expressions, but deep within their eyes, there wasn’t much fear.

Because they all knew that under Zhong Heng’s leadership, the alliance was thriving, its potential far surpassing the former Nine Sects Era.

However, only a few, along with Zhong Heng, truly understood what a large-scale cultivation realm represented.

With a Nascent Soul Cultivator stationed at the center, external enemies dared not invade, and resources were developed more efficiently by the Nascent Soul Cultivators...

The resource utilization efficiency of a large-scale cultivation realm was extremely high.

A vast population and countless resources could nurture more Celestial Prides.

A single sect within it could rival a medium-sized cultivation realm.

The power of even a single family could compare to that of a small cultivation realm.

Jiuzhou was vast.

Countless people inhabited small areas, akin to frogs at the bottom of a well, believing their cultivation realm was the entirety of the world...

But Zhong Heng, due to his past life, had a broader vision.

However.

A slight smile appeared on Zhong Heng’s lips.

"Since a guest wishes to come, let’s prepare."

With his hands behind his back, Zhong Heng stepped forward lightly. The two-winged Flood Dragon obediently rested its head at Zhong Heng’s feet, and the Flood Dragon took flight.

Qiu Yi’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"That is... the power of the Five Elements Four Sacred Beasts..."

"The Alliance Leader has indeed gained the recognition of the Five Elements Four Sacred Beasts..."

Golden light flickered in Qiu Yi’s eyes, and in his vision, the shadows of five Holy Beasts seemed to circle around Zhong Heng.

......

The Flood Dragon circled above the Divine Strategy Tower of Divine Strategy Valley.

Zhong Heng continued to sit cross-legged in cultivation.

A clear sound resonated in his mind.

"Has it finally been deduced..."

"The inference ability is still too weak, it took several decades..."

A brand new yet somewhat rough special technique appeared in Zhong Heng’s mind.

"Acquired Universal Artificial Artifact Spirit Method"

Using arrays to replace manual labor would be a bit difficult for Zhong Heng.

If he wanted the Scripture Pavilion to be more automated and precise, a special item was needed.

AI

This was an inspiration Zhong Heng obtained from a past life’s past life.

However, in the cultivation realm, another object could completely achieve the effect of AI.

Artifact Spirit

But Artifact Spirits were too rare, with only three common sources.

The first is refining Demon Souls, integrating them into Artifacts, and transforming them into Artifact Spirits to greatly enhance the Artifact’s power.

This method was ruled out by Zhong Heng.

Firstly, Demon Souls lean too much towards combat and lack high intelligence.

The second is when Supreme Treasures of the world are naturally born.

The third is when a Golden Core Master nurtures a Lifebound Treasure for hundreds of years, nurturing a nascent Artifact Spirit form.

None of these methods were viable.

Since Zhong Heng wanted to establish the Scripture Tower, he had River Map infer this method.

Zhong Heng quietly perused the technique in his mind.

"Evil Technique."

Zhong Heng murmured.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it even seemed to violate the harmony of heaven.

Because this method uses Human Souls as raw materials, preferably Nascent Soul or Primordial Spirit.

At the very least, it requires the soul of a Golden Core Master.

Combined with two arrays deduced by River Map and special Magical Artifacts.

It allows the transformation of Human Souls into emotionless Artifact Spirits.

Each stage of the Path of Cultivation represents a transformation of Essence, Qi, and Spirit.

Qi needs no explanation; Essence represents the physical body. Even without cultivation enhancement, a Golden Core Cultivator’s body is akin to an Indestructible Golden Body. Perhaps in same-stage battles, it’s not apparent, but if a Qi Refining Cultivator attacked a Golden Core Cultivator.

Even if the Golden Core Cultivator’s True Essence is depleted, the Qi Refining Cultivator still can’t breach the Golden Core Cultivator’s defense.

This is the transformation of Essence and Qi.

Spirit is also transforming.

The most direct manifestation is Divine Sense. A strong Divine Sense can detect this world more subtly and broadly, and comprehension will increase as a result.

But that’s not all; cultivators possess Mental Calculation Power unimaginable to ordinary people.

The majority of books on the Hundred Skills of Cultivation have strict requirements for Divine Sense talents because the Hundred Skills of Cultivation are overly complex and require a strong Divine Sense to understand their content and remember the challenges of Spiritual Objects.

This is also why each stage of the Hundred Skills of Cultivation corresponds to cultivation, and aside from some geniuses, few can advance to the next stage of the Hundred Skills beyond their cultivation level.

This also contrasts Human Souls with Demon Souls: Demon Souls awaken late, with strong but unrefined Divine Sense.

To achieve Zhong Heng’s outcome, Human Souls are naturally better.

"Extracting Human Souls for a technique is undoubtedly an Evil Technique..."

"But what of it."

Zhong Heng suddenly laughed.

He was never a benevolent person, but he wouldn’t kill the innocent indiscriminately either.

It’s just that in this cultivation realm, truly innocent individuals are few...

And in the north, there is already a batch.

"But first, I need to contact Yunmiao... her progress there is crucial to the Celestial Rainbow Cultivation Realm."

A flicker of light passed through Zhong Heng’s eyes.

Now that the Celestial Rainbow Alliance was stable, it was time to fully support Yunmiao.

"In this cultivation realm, strength is still above all..."

[New Source Era, Year 5203, Lin Wui reports that a similar Spiritual Object you requested to find was discovered in a certain Secret Realm.]

[You directly brought the elite troops of the alliance. A Large Secret Realm with three Golden Core Masters could not withstand the alliance’s sword for long. Two years later, all three Golden Core Masters submitted.]

[From their words, you learned that ten thousand years ago, a Nascent Soul Ancestor emerged here. The cultivation inheritance has never been severed, so the cultivation inheritance in this Secret Realm World isn’t significantly different from the Celestial Rainbow Cultivation Realm.]
