"One-star puppets mostly used simple spiritual power storage units, components of mechanism devices that resembled batteries and miniature furnaces."
"Two-star puppets began using furnaces and spirit pumps as separate mechanism devices. Two distinct units worked together to convert spirit stones into spiritual energy and provide pressurized output."
"At three-star and four-star, they might employ high-energy core technology, but the principles remained similar to those of two-star puppets. Only the details of their application changed, greatly improving efficiency."
"Only puppets above five-star would use an entirely new furnace structure known as a 'false core.'"
"It was the hallmark of a Puppet Master entering the Core Formation Realm through the Artifact Dao and advancing puppet creations to that same realm-a false core!"
Li Chen silently recalled what the Complete Book of the Puppet Master Order had said, deep in thought.
A false core, as its name implied, was made to imitate the true core inside a cultivator's body.
In essence, it was a product of energy materialization. It also involved principles such as mass-energy conversion under magnetic origin confinement, making it an extremely efficient energy core.
Cultivators at the Core Formation Realm and above can even draw primordial energy directly from the cosmic void. Only then do they truly begin to enter the realm of 'boundless magic power.'
But at my current realm, I only need to master the Spirit Essence Furnace and use my magic power as a catalyst to power puppets by conventional means.
This is essentially a reverse application of the Spirit-Gathering Formation. Just as that formation gathers Heaven and Earth Vital Energy, various forms of spiritual essence, and magic power into spirit liquid and spirit stones, the furnace releases them in reverse, converting them into power a puppet can use.
