The concept of a "Nascent Soul" was defined as "a spiritual-power organ generated after birth." It was acquired through cultivation and became part of a cultivator's physical body. The "dharma body" cultivated from the Dividing the Spirit stage through the Body Integration Realm was a complete physiological system reconstructed around the Nascent Soul as its core.
Naturally, the more complex a Nascent Soul was, the better.
The reason the human race designed Nascent Souls to resemble humans was that, among the structures most readily available to them and callable at any time, the human body was the most complex.
This mysterious bloodline "code," once expressed through the mysteries hidden beneath the Central Law, formed a complex structure in the material world. Though it was not an "optimal solution" and contained many make-do loopholes and flaws, it was sufficiently complex, sufficiently stable, and possessed a high degree of fault tolerance.
Most importantly, the reference for this structure was right at hand, making it easy to employ.
A Nascent Soul was not complete merely because it had an outer shape. As an organ capable of supporting customization, it also possessed more internal structures.
For instance, a humanoid Nascent Soul contained simulated structures such as "meridians" and "internal organs," making it easier to regulate spiritual power.
The Ming Clan's Nascent Souls were no different. Take Kosta, for example. This Grand Judge's Nascent Soul appeared round and perfect, modeled after the light source, but inside it contained countless intricate structures arranged in a "circulating cycle."
This could be considered the Ming Clan's classic Nascent Soul form.
And precisely because this form was so classic, the fact that Kosta had cultivated it into something remarkable made him all the more extraordinary.
The human avatars, however, were different.
