Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System Chapter 594: A New Type of Nascent Spirit

Creating a whole new power system would take a lot of effort and ti.

This was why Alex never bothered to make one from scratch before.

He always just improved existing ones.

But now that his understanding had deepened, Alex wanted to try.

He wanted to build an ultimate cultivation system that could use any kind of energy with maximum efficiency.

Normally, the first step would be to create a proper container.

Thankfully he could skip that part.

His body had already been partly transford toward the Progenitor level.

His soul and body were no longer sothing that fit normal definitions.

'Let's focus on the technique first.

As for the body, I'll study the elixirs in the universe later.'

He already had so ideas about changing a person's foundation.

It should be done through controlled mutation, just like what he saw in the stag.

Alex also felt that mutation with space power was the key.

With space power, there was a way to create multiple cores without letting them clash.

But that was only a base idea.

He would need to refine it later.

For now, he needed to focus on the technique side.

"Awakener abilities are easy to use because they are born from my own organs," Alex muttered.

"Secret techniques from cultivators need to be trained again and again, until the body can move without thinking.

Magic uses mana and magic circles carved into a core.

In the end, it is still the sa idea."

He tapped his finger lightly on the table.

"In that case, why not make a new organ?

Sothing like a core that can think, adapt, and adjust any technique."

It would be like a personal assistant inside the body.

Using another person's soul for that would be risky.

To keep it safe, the "soul" had to co from himself.

Alex's thoughts moved to the concept of a nascent spirit in cultivation worlds.

In most cultivation systems he had read, a nascent spirit was like a second self.

Cultivators condensed part of their soul and consciousness into a smaller, focused form.

Sotis it sat in the dantian.

Sotis in the sea of consciousness.

It helped giving them extra life, if their body destroyed.

Normally, the process was simple to describe and hard to do.

First they refined their soul.

Then they separated a stable portion from it.

Then they shaped that part into a small figure that looked like themselves.

That figure beca the nascent spirit.

"I think I should change the approach from the foundational level.

Turning it into so kind of fake soul."

He had just done it with the chalyte.

He locked Cyrith's real soul, then used an artificial one as a mask to act on the outside.

That mask could follow rules, filter actions, and report problems to him.

'A nascent spirit that behaves like the fake soul I made for the chalyte… but made from their own soul instead.'

He could feel the pieces starting to line up.

The fake soul gave him a way to judge actions and force rules.

The nascent spirit gave him a second self that could grow and learn.

If he combined both, he could build sothing that fit his goal.

A soul that could learn techniques, adjust them, than choose the best way to use any energy.

He let out a small chuckle.

'Isn't this the sa as creating my own system?

If it works, I can build a unified way to master any technique and push it to the limit.'

Alucard had already done sothing similiar with his system.

He used Vesa as the core of his system.

Everything was managed through her.

Alex did not plan to repeat that.

Using other soul will have too much risk.

Finding one that's good, compatible and useful will be far too hard.

He closed his eyes.

'Nascent soul, splitting one's own soul, fake soul, artificial intelligence, ERX chip.'

Ideas lined up in Alex's mind.

'Take a part of soone's soul, carve a rune formation into it to give it intelligence.

The rune should use the host's own lifeforce so there will be no rejection.'

'First step,' Alex thought.

'Create a thod to cut a soul from a mortal without hurting them, then use it as material to create a soul seed.'

He left the dissection room and went back to the main base area of the ruined Suzaku complex.

The halls were quiet.

Alex sat down on an old couch and closed his eyes.

'How is a soul ford?'

From his experience, a person's soul grew together with their life.

mories, emotions, choices, all pressed into it over ti.

The more soone lived, the heavier and more complex their soul beca.

At first, he had thought a newborn baby did not have a real soul yet.

Just a weak spark.

But now that he thought about it again, that was not right.

'It's not that a baby has no soul. It's that the soul is blank. It has no shape yet.'

A baby's soul was like an empty page.

As they grew, every experience wrote sothing on it.

Joy, fear, pain, love.

Slowly, the page turned into a full book.

'So if I want to cut a piece of soul without hurting the person, I should cut it when the "page" is still mostly empty.'

He tapped his fingers on the armrest.

'A newborn soul that has not fixed its shape yet.'

That did not an taking souls from babies.

Even Alex was not that reckless.

'No. I need a way to reset a soul fragnt.

Strip the mories and emotions, but keep the basic structure intact.'

His mind linked it to the fake soul he made for the chalyte.

Back then, he had used rune to copy the structure of the calyte soul, removed the personality, and replaced it with rules.

The result was sothing that acted like a soul, but did not "carry" a life behind it.

'So the process should be like this,' Alex thought.

'First, separate a small fragnt from the main soul.

Second, clean it. Remove mories and emotional imprint.

Third, carve runes into it so it can think and learn.

Fourth, feed it with the host's lifeforce until it stabilizes as a soul seed.'

He leaned back and stared at the ceiling.

'If I do this right, the main soul will only feel a small "tired" state. No damage.

The fragnt becos a seed.

The seed becos the nascent soul with built-in logic.'

He stood up.

'I need a test subject.'
