Mass Production of Artificial Nascent Souls
Inside the Detached Palace of the Central Immortal Realm Central Immortal Palace in the Central Immortal Realm, Le Zhentian listened quietly to Bai Qiuran's account of encountering the Puppet army.
"Thank you for your hard work, Grandmaster."
After listening, the current ruler of the Immortal Realm said to Bai Qiuran, "I have ordered the Immortal Craftsman of the Heavenly Works Workshop to disassemble and study the Puppet that our Grandmaster sent back... According to the preliminary research results, that Puppet is indeed the result of a combination and improvement of our Immortal Realm's Cultivation system and the Runes System created by our Senior Disciple Brother. To be honest, in terms of Puppet Arts alone, they have completely surpassed us."
"Don't worry about it. From what I see so far, we both have our strengths."
Bai Qiuran comforted his Disciple's Grand-disciple, then stood up and said, "By the way, remember to give me a copy of the research results on that Puppet Arts when they're ready."
If Bai Qiuran to analyze and improve upon this exquisite Puppet structure, it should be usable by the Puppet Venerable of the Underworld Ghost Realm.
With this Puppet Arts, the Puppet Venerable's combat abilities will surely reach a new level.
"Alright, I'll have someone go to the Heavenly Works Workshop later and give them some instructions. Once the results are out, I'll send a copy to my master."
Le Zhentian agreed, "Junior Brother Mo Chen and the others are still investigating the Ruin near those Puppet Faction. I need to organize a team to gather intelligence on these Puppet."
"Be careful. Although these Puppet are not hostile to material beings, they are determined to eliminate the Consciousness Demon."
Bai Qiuran reminded us, "After we disembarked, the Puppet scanned the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable in my Sea of Consciousness and attacked us without saying a word. If you're going to send people, try to send as few immortals with Consciousness Demon Clone Immortals possible."
"Your disciple will remember this."
"Le Zhentian replied."
The Consciousness Domain is fraught with danger. Even if the Six Desires Consciousness Demons die, countless dangerous Consciousness Demon still roam within the Consciousness Domain.
Without bringing one or two Consciousness Demon Clones with the ability to kill, the Immortal Realm's intelligence team probably wouldn't be able to reach the other side of the Consciousness Domain. This was a last resort, as they weren't as strong as Bai Qiuran. Therefore, Bai Qiuran could only remind Le Zhentian to be careful.
After bidding farewell to Le Zhentian, Bai Qiuran stopped by Haoting Xiaodu Heaven to visit Bai Xuxiang, bought some delicious food for her daughter, and spent some money to buy gifts to honor Daoist Qingming and Goddess Xi He before returning home.
Less than a month later, someone from the Immortal Realm Heavenly Works Workshop came and handed him the results of his research.
Bai Qiuran began to examine the results of his research on the dismantling of the Heavenly General Puppet. It took him three whole days to finish reading it. After reading it, he couldn't help but admire the Puppet Civilization's mastery of Cultivation, Runes System, and Puppet Arts.
The Heavenly General Puppet's Power Core was created using a highly advanced manufacturing technique, and the artificial Purple Mansion, containing the Purple Mansion Nascent Soul, was also created using a similar method.
According to Heavenly Works Workshop's analysis and research on this Artificial Purple Mansion, the Nascent Soul within the Purple Mansion does not resemble that of a normal Cultivators, who integrates their Nascent Soul and Souls into the Nascent Soul.
Therefore, for Cultivators, the Nascent Soul is their second life. In some ways, the Cultivators Nascent Soul is even more important than their physical body. If their physical body is destroyed, but the Nascent Soul remains, Cultivators can choose to Dissolution immortality or retain their memories and reincarnate to Reincarnation. If they combine this with some secret techniques, Cultivators may even be able to reshape their physical body.
However, once the Nascent Soul is lost, it means that the Cultivators has completely lost even the place where their Souls resides. If they are lucky, their Nascent Soul can separate before the Nascent Soul is destroyed, and then they will become a wandering ghost, eventually being taken to the Ghost Realm by the Underworld Emissary for Reincarnation. If they are unlucky, their Nascent Soul Souls and Nascent Soul will be destroyed together with the nascent soul, and they will be scattered and never be able to recover.
However, the Puppet's Souls did not merge with the Nascent Soul, a fact that Bai Qiuran also discovered when sealing and controlling the Puppet's Souls.
This Puppet has a special structure inside, similar to the Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness, used to store and protect the Souls of the manipulator. However, the Souls that manipulates it has not merged with the Nascent Soul. Moreover, the celestial Immortal Craftsman of the Celestial Craftsmen's Heavenly Works Workshop in the Immortal Realm have discovered some suspicious points on that Nascent Soul.
This Nascent Soul's stats are far too standard. Generally speaking, due to differences in Cultivation Techniques, growth, and opportunities, each Cultivators's Nascent Soul within their Purple Mansion is unique.
Some Cultivators may be more skilled in hand-to-hand combat, so their Nascent Soul will be strengthened in that area. Other Cultivators may be skilled in various types of Arts, so their Nascent Soul will become most compatible with the Spirit Qi of the type they are most proficient in, making it easier for the Cultivators's True Essence to mobilize the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth to perform spells.
However, the nascent Nascent Soul found within the Heavenly General Puppet was perfectly balanced in every aspect, neither too much nor too little. Therefore, the Immortal Craftsman in the Heavenly Works Workshop believed that this Nascent Soul might be a product from some kind of assembly line.
Based on what Bai Qiuran had seen before—the enormous, planet-like Puppet that sealed Artificial Purple Mansion and Nascent Soul within Missile for use as explosives in Missile bays—that Puppet Civilization likely possessed the technology and factories for the mass production of Nascent Soul.
Is this a large-scale Artificial Surrogate Nascent Soul?
Upon seeing this, Bai Qiuran couldn't help but complain with feelings of envy, jealousy, and resentment.
Aside from the seemingly mass-produced Purple Mansion and Nascent Soul, the intricate internal structure of the Puppet is also breathtaking. Not only does the Puppet surpass the Puppet Arts of the Immortal Realm in every aspect of the craftsmanship of its various parts, but each component is also engraved with exquisite Runes.
That was the Runes System created by the Immortal Emperor Shuhua. Moreover, it was almost the most tightly constructed Runes System that the Immortal Emperor could build after mastering the Runes System. The Runes on each component not only independently enhanced the effectiveness of that component, but also resonated with each other, forming an exquisite Runes System that comprehensively enhanced all the Puppet's data.
Originally, because the Souls and Nascent Soul were not fused, the combat ability of these Puppet should be weaker than that of Cultivators of the same level. Their Nascent Soul reaction and the speed of True Essence flow were slightly slower than those of Cultivators of the same level. However, after having this system, the combat ability of these Puppet surpassed that of Cultivators of the same level.
This fusion method greatly Spiritual Sense Bai Qiuran. After obtaining the research results of the Immortal Emperor Shuhua, he had been thinking and trying to integrate his own Cultivation and Consciousness Demon Clone system with the Runes System created by the Immortal Emperor Shuhua. After seeing this Puppet combination method, he felt that it had brought him great Spiritual Sense.
Finally, there was one more thing that Bai Qiuran greatly admired: the materials used to create this Puppet.
The materials used to create this Puppet are materials that have not been found in the Myriad Heavens and Worlds of the Immortal Realm world.
The Immortal Craftsman of Heavenly Works Workshop analyzed the constituent elements of this material and found that, like the artificial Purple Mansion and Nascent Soul, the elemental ratio of this material was too perfect, as if it were artificially synthesized.
Therefore, the Immortal Craftsman of Heavenly Works Workshop speculated that the opposing force might not only possess the means of Artificial Surrogate Nascent Soul, but also possibly the same method as the Heavenly Dao: Creation from the Void.
