This experiment to break through "Consciousness" took longer than any previous one.
The difficulty lay in the fact that Su Hao could provide only limited direct help this time. Most of the steps had to be completed independently by Ashan. For example, the "differentiation" and "reorganization" of multiple spirit power units—Su Hao could provide the blueprints and assembly steps, but Ashan had to construct the entire incomparably intricate "Knowledge Platform" himself.
This meant Ashan first had to study and understand how the "Knowledge Platform" worked, familiarize himself with the entire process, and only then begin trying step by step.
Even with Su Hao's guidance, the difficulty was still absurdly high.
As the days passed, Ashan quickly got stuck on the differentiation of different spirit power properties.
The "Knowledge Platform" had three basic spirit power properties: "Memory Unit," "Bridge Connector," and "Isolator." The smallest "Storage Unit" consisted of one "Memory Unit" and one "Bridge Connector." Then, while each "Storage Unit" was connected to the others, they also had to be effectively separated using "Isolators."
This meant that after Ashan successfully used the "Activator" to transform ordinary spirit power into the three types of units, he was left staring helplessly. The three different kinds of spirit power were mixed together in a chaotic mess, impossible to distinguish.
It was like mixing red, yellow, and blue ink into water, then asking Ashan to separate the three pigments again on a microscopic level before assembling them into a fixed structure.
After learning where Ashan was stuck, Su Hao fell into thought. "Ashan is already stuck at this step, let alone other Cultivators. No matter how talented they are, completing this step would be harder than climbing to the heavens. How can this process be simplified?"
If Su Hao's breakthrough method was so difficult that
