Ves wanted to spread the advantages of cultivation to his clan.
He decided to start with his grandfather and his living ch because they were relatively new additions to the Larkinson Army.
They did not experience as much growth as other pairs. Their spiritual states had only changed relatively recently and should still remain fairly malleable.
Although Ves was slightly concerned about impacting Benjamin's relatively poor physical fitness, he understood on a rational level that his grandfather was not as fragile as he looked!
Venerable Benjamin Larkinson possessed all of the traits of a genuine high-tier expert pilot outside of physique.
His reforged willpower was even stronger and more solid than the willpower of other Larkinson ch pilots!
Prodigies such as Venerable Joshua and Venerable Jannzi may have grown remarkably quickly over the past decade, but their life experiences and ntal developnt could not match up to a grandfather who already lived a full life of ups and downs!
Ves considered Benjamin to be a good test subject for that reason. The old man had already endured great trauma in the past and could easily take a few blows.
It was difficult for Ves to explain what he wanted to do the Blood Star.
Cultivation was not part of the culture of modern humanity. Ves suspected that the MTA and CFA deliberately suppressed this concept in order to deprive the Five Scrolls Compact of support back in the old galaxy.
"So let get this straight." Benjamin said as he rubbed his gloved fingers against his wrinkled chin. "You have co up with a tech that can upgrade the Blood Pact and help my ch and I grow faster, is that correct?"
"You can say that. It's a little more complicated than that. I need both of you to adjust your behavior, acquire a set of new habits and possibly ditate on a cultivation mantra. I am trying to figure out if you can skip on that last part. It is troubleso for you and your expert ch to spend conscious effort on deliberate cultivation. I am hoping that I can whip up a solution that will essentially allow you and your living ch to cultivate on autopilot."
The old expert pilot looked completely lost at this point. He eventually threw up his hands.
"Just do what you want. My ch and I will cooperate with you as best as possible."
After gaining his grandfather's tentative approval, Ves began to conduct a series of tests and examinations.
The new ch testing chamber built adjacent to his private workshop ca extrely handy at this ti.
The large compartnt offered a decent amount of space for the Blood Star to fly around and test its skills against dummy targets.
As Venerable Benjamin was having the ti of his life by hacking its sword against different bots, Ves constantly studied the spiritual condition of the Blood Star.
A lot of different ideas entered his mind as he gathered a huge amount of interesting data.
His vastly expanded depth in cultivation science had opened a new world to him. Ves found that he could notice a lot of small but important variables that he completely overlooked in the past!
The more he studied the Blood Pact, the more he admired how he managed to make it co to life.
Even so, his greater vision and understanding also caused him to wince at tis whenever he spotted aspects of it that were either suboptimal or completely detrintal!
This was an unavoidable consequence of indirectly forming a contract cultivation thod. The Carmine System did the best it could to forge a permanent spiritual bond between the ch and the ch pilot.
"It has character, but... there is far too much room for improvent for to leave it alone."
Cultivation science centered around developing the most efficient and effective ways to convert energy into growth and more specifically taphysical growth.
As Ves adopted the ntality of an engineer to this important side project, he ticulously deconstructed the existing natural cultivation thods and utilized his extensive theoretical fraworks to formulate a lot of improved cultivation processes.
Ves was actually working with three cultivation thods rather than just a single one at this ti.
First, his grandfather unconsciously 'practiced' the ch piloting cultivation thod that was automatically dispensed by the Kingdom of chs through a chanism that Ves could not detect.
With the understanding that Ves possessed today, he already understood that ch pilots actually did not have to do anything special in order to 'cultivate'.
They just had to do their jobs and actively engage in training or fight in real combat missions to make actual progress!
As long as they possessed sufficient spiritual potential, each of them had a chance to exceed the extraordinary threshold and form extraordinary willpower, all without requiring any conscious direction!
Even their breakthroughs were secretly managed by the Kingdom of chs in order to ensure they proceeded smoothly and without any errors!
Just as with his own ch designer progression trajectory, there was nothing that Ves could do to alter or improve the cultivation thod for ch pilots.
The only way he had any hope of doing so was to gain enough authority over the Kingdom of chs and change the cultivation thod from the root!
Ves shook his head. "I don't need to worry about this. I should focus on what I can control."
Right now, he needed to formulate at least one general cultivation thod for living chs and one dual cultivation thod for the users of the Carmine System.
"The two should complent each other."
If a living ch was able to grow stronger through its own efforts, it would be able to provide more assistance to its ch pilot.
The existence of a Blood Pact between the two ant that this reinforcent relationship beca a lot more effective!
Ves could easily imagine that Carmine pilots would be able to grow five tis if not ten tis faster than their more regular counterparts!
Of course, the premise of sustaining this rapid growth was whether the Carmine ch could continue to grow fast enough on its own to provide a lot of cultivation assistance to its bonded pilot.
In the video gas that Ves used to play in the past on occasion, this was a process called power leveling.I think you should take a look at
The most crucial part about making power leveling work was to create a sufficiently large difference of power between the ch and ch pilot.
Reality was not a video ga, and it was not entirely necessary for a Carmine ch to be a lot stronger than its ch pilot.
They just had to remain within a reasonable range of power in order to benefit each other.
"Let's focus on the cultivation of the living ch first since that is a crucial precondition to increasing the effectiveness of the Blood Pact."
There were three fundantal variables that affected the growth of a living ch.
The first was ti. The more ti passed by, the more a living ch was able to engage in natural cultivation and slowly develop itself further.
The second was interfacing with a ch pilot. When a living ch was used for its intended purpose and when it ford a man-machine connection with a human, the machine grew more rapidly by being exposed to different stimuli.
These two variables already existed from the mont Ves produced his first living chs. They had been the factors responsible for enabling all of his products to grow over ti.
From humble comrcial chs such as the Desolate Soldier to powerful high-ranking chs that had eventually turned into living legends such as the Ouroboros, their growth had all been sustained by the power of ti and experiences!
It was only recently that a third variable ca into the picture. The Age of Dawn introduced exotic radiation to red humanity, and all of the living chs stuck in the Red Ocean beca graced by constant exposure to E energy radiation.
Even if living chs did nothing at all, their very nature as sentient life forms caused them to passively absorb ambient spiritual energies that aligned with their own domains.
Ves focused on this phenonon in particular. His goal was to supercharge this natural process by implenting a lot of highly effective artificial cultivation processes!
He imdiately pulled up a copy of the Atr Guardian Mantra and began to alter its cultivation steps in an attempt to make it suitable for living chs.
He had to hollow it out quite a bit as much of it was specifically directed towards strengthening organic human bodies.
This pretty wiped out the body cultivation aspects from the mantra, but that was fine as living chs almost never improved the physical defenses of their bodies on their own in the past.
Unless they incorporated smart tal or turned into an ace ch, living machines had to rely on humans to manually upgrade their physical defenses.
"Can I do better, though?"
It was too impractical to incorporate Gloriana's god body thod as it was too high-end and imposed a lot of difficult requirents.
What Ves needed to formulate was a more general and accessible body cultivation thod that was suitable for every living ch.
He quickly swept through all of the cultivation knowledge that he had recently acquired and paused when he touched upon the fundantal theories of the five elents.
"tal. chs are products of tal. This is a great starting point!"
That was not all. He also drew from a lot of theories and processes of the Colica Sect Equipnt Maintenance Sutra to figure out how to strengthen the structure and the spiritual foundation of chs in more esoteric ways.
The biggest challenge to adapting the cultivation processes of the Equipnt Maintenance Sutra was to make it less dependent on external repairs.
Ves had to employ his full creativity and thinking power at tis in order to develop brand-new solutions that combined traits from multiple different cultivation inheritances!
Several days passed by as Ves obsessed over this work. He continually examined the performance of not only the Blood Star, but also several other notable machines such as the Quint.
The old stalwart provided Ves with a surprising amount of useful feedback. The Quint had already figured out a lot of stuff on its own and possessed a greater sensitivity towards the changes induced by different cultivation processes.
With the active assistance from his living chs, Ves eventually completed the first iteration of the Larkinson tal Guardian Mantra!
When third order living chs such as the Blood Star and the Quint began to practice this rather complicated cultivation thod, they began to form small energy vortexes in their imdiate surroundings.
This was a clear sign that their energy absorption efficiency had skyrocketed!
"It's working!" Ves exulted!
Unlike Blinky who was absorbing a lot of ambient spiritual energies regardless of their properties, the living chs that tentatively learned this new cultivation thod only stuck to absorbing tal energies and a bit of life energies. This ant that practicing the new thod generated less disturbances.
Even so, Ves could already tell that the Larkinson tal Guardian Mantra was at least 7 tis as effective in terms of cultivation speed when compared to the previous state!
Not only that, but the new cultivation thod exclusive for the living chs of the Larkinson chs also used up the captured energies a lot more efficiently.
Many different aspects of the living chs beca steadily more fortified without generating as much waste as before.
Ves could vaguely tell that both the Quint and the Blood Star were experiencing minute physical reinforcent, which was a highly desirable phenonon that was previously exclusive to ace chs and god chs!
"The physical strengthening effects share a certain resemblance to the effects of willpower baptism!"
This was exactly what Ves wanted to see! Instead of relying on the extraordinary willpower of a rare ace pilot, his new cultivation thod relied purely on the ubiquitous supply of ambient spiritual energy attributed towards the tal elent in order to fuel the physical growth of his living chs!
Ves could scarcely foresee how much stronger all of his third order living chs would beco once they practiced his new Larkinson tal Guardian Mantra!
However, his work was far from done.
He still had to solve a greater challenge.
"I need to turn this into an instinctive cultivation thod for all of my second order living chs."
