Capítulo 1643: Chapter 310: Path of the Dao Straight to the Heavens
But even so, it’s quite remarkable.
Ian was very satisfied, but others clearly had questions. Sure enough, a researcher from the Seven Cities Alliance raised a concern: “Leaving other issues aside, the conditions for the first group are just too good—the top-notch resource allocation, the state-of-the-art scientific training with real-ti updates, and dedicated culture classes and reading ti… an average noble family can’t sustain such a setup!”
This is an objective fact: Even noble families rarely have perfect nutritional allocations, not to ntion the constant tracking and optimization of exercise results. As for cultural classes and reading ti… let’s just say, even if reading were the only path to advancent, there are those who wouldn’t choose to read; not to ntion that on the surface, reading is not the only path in today’s Terra?
Besides, there were many other doubts, such as the insufficient food controls for the second group; because without exercise, one can’t consu so much nutrition, more control groups should be designed; or that the conclusions are not rigorous enough, as being able to cultivate a Soulseed itself indicates outstanding talent, etc.
At first, Master Sampo patiently addressed these one by one, but soon he was provoked to cold laughter by these nitpicking doubts: “At least the peers I create using this thod would be inclined towards us, unlike the conflicting experintal subjects you all produce!”
Even so, there was no fight, and Master Sampo gracefully exited the stage.
He did not disclose technical details; he rely shared his concept with everyone—to adapt the bodies of the Terra People, provide full nutrition, and study all day, achieving a perfect integration of body and spirit so that even without becoming a Sublimator, one might still nurture a soul and attempt to awaken Spirit Energy.
As for how to cultivate it, that’s a confidential detail.
Ultimately, the developnt conference was just an idea-sharing platform to prevent repetitive research and resource wastage among nations.
After Yanjiang, it was the Fiery Fla Land’s turn—their topic was more straightforward: soul compensation.
They unabashedly presented an array of bloody research data and charts, proving the existence of soul compensation.
As long as one holds an artificial soul, even an aging elder who suffers postnatal disabilities can maintain the vigor of the affected soul through specific diets and Alchemical Potions; it will not wither but will instead grow robust, invigorating through absorbing vitality, thus forming effects akin to ‘Life Spirit Energy’.
Telekinesis, spirit limbs, possession, ghost hands, phantom touch, spirit eyes… most awakened Spirit Energy belongs to this category.
Although the abilities are fixed, the probability of this awakening Spirit Energy… exceeds 80%!
“…This already poses a threat.”
At this mont, Yisen Gard frowned. Although he was oppressed by the Empire delegation, it did not an he did not care for the Empire. Listening attentively, he solemnly noted: “Currently, Terra’s Spirit Machine technology is quite advanced. Look at the Aether Arms Order over there; it’s clear they have collaborated with the Fiery Fla Land on this technology.”
Ian had already realized this. In fact, wasn’t it the Aether Arms Order that explored the South Sea Great Labyrinth together with the Fiery Fla Land back then? Moreover, the Aether Arms Order indeed advocates the notion that flesh is fragile and machines embody Ascension, while the Fiery Fla Land’s ‘soul compensation’ theory allows them to gradually peel away the fragile flesh and cultivate robust souls, eventually forming an entity with powerful Spirit Energy and a chanical body!
This is their goal, the ultimate ‘Spirit Machine Ascension’!
“It’s indeed a viable path,” he whispered, “though crude, the Aether Arms Order truly has the nascent form of their own Path of the Dao… no wonder the Dragon King holds them in such high regard.”
He started to feel that participating in this Spirit Energy developnt conference was quite worthwhile—perhaps due to the reasons of the world war, all sides produced notably valuable research.
But why?
This was the source of Ian’s perplexity.
Clearly, these nations are adversaries, so why would they lay out their prized treasures and ideas?
Even without core technologies, ideas alone are extrely valuable. Often, other nations don’t lack the foundation and resources but rather the ideas—sweat and inspiration, indeed, inspiration is sowhat more important.
“Fellow compatriots.”
And at this mont, the presenter of the third topic took the stage. It was an old man who looked like a shaman, from the Nine Cold Federation. Her topic was ‘Spirit Energy Elevation’ and ‘Shaping Spirit Energy’, which entailed altering one’s Spirit Energy Structure within the soul using various thods to sublimate the Spirit Energy, an evolution based on Magic Potion technology extending the Bloodline True Form enhancent to the realm of Spirit Energy.
A very classical research direction, not uncommon, one might even say each nation has similar research endeavors, with perhaps only Nine Cold Quiet Mountains having taken the first step.
However, that word ‘compatriots’ startled Ian awake.
Previously, Master Sampo had also used this word when addressing the other questioners.
And the aning of this word…
Ian lifted his head, scanning all the people present.
And everyone possessed Spirit Energy.
“Spirit Energy Users…”
Ian murmured to himself: “Is this eting among Spirit Energy Users… this is not a re academic research conference; it’s a developnt research conference for ‘Spirit Energy Users’ dispersed among the nations!”
“Is it only Spirit Energy Users who are considered compatriots?”
[Indeed so]
At this mont, Kerraith’s voice resonated by Ian’s ear: [Not just Spirit Energy Users, but 50% of those invited here are ‘Chosen Ones’]
