Ves held the Larkinson Mandate in his arms.
The heavy tal-encrusted to felt more powerful and extraordinary than before.
He used to call it an artifact and an heirloom in the past, but it really started to behave like one after the Great Severing had occurred.
The Larkinson Mandate absorbed more and more ambient spiritual energy. Combined with its strong relationship with the Golden Cat, Ves had the illusion that it was starting to co alive and develop its own separate personality!
He looked forward to seeing what would result from this, but today he had a different goal in mind.
"Goldie? I need to discuss an important matter with you. It concerns your job as a design spirit."
"Nyaa?"
The compartnt suddenly beca a lot brighter as a shining spiritual cat erged from the book!
The warmth radiating from Goldie had grown even stronger than before, signifying that she had made a lot of progress as of late.
Ves was aware that all of the design spirits had been attempting to develop their own cultivation thods.
They made limited progress so far. Ignorant of real cultivation science, their experints amounted to little but amplifying the effects of their existing natural cultivation thods by proactively absorbing ambient spiritual energy in greater quantities.
Simply increasing the input was not enough to produce truly superior cultivation results. The processes in between had to be completely reinvented in order to exceed the limited potential of primitive and rudintary natural cultivation!
"Nyaa nyaa nyaa!" Goldie complained as she flew circles around her creator.
Ves chuckled in a good-natured manner as he reached out and caught the playful cat. "I know, I know. I intend to work on your own needs as well. Your importance is considerable in my future plans. I just need to solve our more imdiate problems first before I can work on more ambitious projects."
"Nya nya nyaaaa!"
Blinky appeared from Ves' head and pounced on Goldie.
"Mrow!"
The two spiritual cats wrestled with each other for a bit.
Surprisingly enough, Blinky managed to hold his own by virtue of his new internal universe.
Even if his Blinkyverse had not yet completed the second stage of its evolution, it was already large and formidable enough to lend a lot of additional energy and strength to the companion spirit!
"Nyaaa! Nyaaaa! Nyaaaa!"
The Golden Cat had no chance of defeating Blinky after the latter had gotten started on his powerful new cultivation thod!
Not only did the companion spirit gained access to a huge energy reservoir, but his ability to devour different energies including that of Goldie had improved as well!
It beca hard for Goldie to harness the power of heaven and form a pseudo-domain when Blinky kept sucking away her energies all of the ti!
Ves felt encouraged by this result. Despite practicing a different thod from the one originally envisioned by his mother, Blinky still possessed the ability to defend himself against other energy-based life forms.
The more Blinky cultivated the Imaginary Universe thod, the greater the amplification to his effective combat power!
It was a pity that neither Blinky nor his Blinkyverse were good at causing material harm. Ves needed to rely on other forms of protection in order to defend himself against physical threats.
Ves did not feel overly concerned about this. All of the chs around him were no joke these days. It should be impossible for enemies to get past so many layers of defense.
Once Goldie and Blinky grew tired of wrestling with each other, Ves proceeded to brief the design spirit of his intentions.
The cat looked intrigued.
"Nyaaa nyaaa nyaaa?"
Ves nodded. "Yes. I intend to use you to administer the cultivation thod for all of our Larkinson clansn as well. You can treat this initial attempt as a trial balloon. As long as you are successfully able to make the Bright Warriors and other chs under your supervision cultivate this new mantra, I am confident I can apply the sa approach for our clansn."
"Nya!"
"I need you to cooperate with on this. I will need to apply a few delicate changes to you. I also need to give you a crash course on this mantra."
Ves worked together with the Golden Cat to grant her the capability to act as a miniature Kingdom of chs.
It was impossible for Ves to replicate the full power of the real deal, but it was not necessary for him to go that far. He just wanted to imitate the kingdom's capacity to induce subconscious cultivation to its clients.
The exact chanics required to make this happen was quite complicated. Ves lacked the advanced theories and understanding to satisfy every essential requirent, but he only needed to ask his mother a few poignant questions in order to find solutions to the trickiest problems.
In order to develop a viable way for his second order living chs to cultivate on autopilot, Ves had to simplify the Larkinson tal Guardian Mantra to a great extent.
He removed and simplified a lot of the more active and demanding cultivation processes. He also added a lot of new elents in order to grant control authority to design spirits such as Goldie.
Ves felt as if he was following the footsteps of the Progenitors of chs. Did they devise similar cultivation processes in an attempt to create invisible cultivation thods for ch pilots and ch designers at the end of the Age of Conquest?
It would have been great if Ves could study the chanisms of the Kingdom of chs in person!
Instead, he was forced to reinvent the wheel. This turned out to be quite troubleso. Even with the helpful advice of his mother, Ves wasted a lot more hours on this challenge than he originally expected!I think you should take a look at
Yet once Ves and Goldie managed to get this new mode of cultivation to work, the results beca gratifying!
Both Ves and the Golden Cat watched with awe and satisfaction as a squad of Bright Warrior chs hailing from the Avatar of Myth began to form their own miniature energy vortexes!
Of course, the cultivation speed and efficiency of these average Bright Warrior chs could not catch up to the performance of third order living chs.
Second order living chs actually possessed enough intelligence and sentience to practice a simple cultivation thod on their own, but the chances of accidents and deviations were too great.
Ves found it a lot better and more reliable to let Goldie administer their cultivation in the background.
"Nyaaa nyaaa."
At this ti, Goldie directed a small proportion of her attention on managing the cultivation of the chs standing in front.
Even if the Lesser Larkinson tal Guardian Mantra was not as effective as the original version, Ves could still foresee that it would take a lot less ti for the second order living chs to promote to third order living chs!
Along the way, all of these relatively ordinary machines that were destined not to receive too much care due to a lack of design capacity could finally take matters into their own hands!
Instead of waiting for their human owners to manually upgrade their fras, the living chs could count on cultivation to gradually strengthen their properties over ti!
It was the ideal way to handle large quantities of standard chs!
The current form of cultivation was a combination between a qi, body and contract cultivation thod.
The contract cultivation aspect played a crucial role to the second order living chs as it encompassed the chanisms responsible for allowing Goldie to automate their cultivation.
To put it in more general terms, the living chs remained highly dependent on design spirit while they practiced this lesser cultivation thod!
Ves had even applied deliberate changes to the Lesser Larkinson tal Guardian Mantra to make it a lot harder or impossible to progress without the active participation of a design spirit.
The Golden Cat also possessed the capacity to hasten a subject's cultivation progress by donating her own spiritual energy.
This would not only enable a second order living chs to evolve faster, but also deepen its relationship and alignnt with the Golden Cat!
Ves had implented key cultivation processes of the Karma Liberation Sutra in order to keep better track of this kind of stuff.
In effect, at the sa ti the Golden Cat administered the cultivation of associated second order living chs, she also engaged in a form of deity cultivation!
This was killing multiple birds with a single stone. Both sides benefited greatly from this mutual relationship. Goldie had already noticed how much more spiritual feedback she received from the Bright Warrior chs that were cultivating under her direct supervision!
"It's brilliant, isn't it?" Ves grinned.
"Nyaaa nyaaa nyaaaa!"
The Golden Cat jumped onto Ves and nuzzled his cheek with her warm and loving head.
"Hahaha! Since this test has progressed so well, let's start spreading this out to the other chs under your care. Another operation is coming up very soon, so our chs could all use a boost."
"Nya!"
From now on, his second order living chs no longer had to remain stuck this way unless they experienced legendary journeys.
Even if the living chs and their assigned ch pilots never entered into real combat, the process of automated cultivation would ensure that the forr would eventually be able to evolve on their own!
The effectiveness of the Lesser Larkinson tal Guardian Cultivation Mantra and similar ch cultivation thods depended heavily on a number of key variables.
The strength of the design spirit played a factor. Those who were stronger and had access to a lot of spiritual feedback could spend a lot more effort into accelerating the cultivation of second order living chs!
The concentration of ambient spiritual energy also affected the cultivation speed to a large degree. If a living ch ever had the fortune or misfortune to enter ssier 87, it would probably take weeks or days for a fresh machine to evolve into a third order living ch!
"Right now, a newly fabricated second order living ch should probably be able to cultivate into a third order living ch in 10 years or less under current circumstances."
His living chs should be able to jump to third order a lot sooner in practice as they experienced a lot of growth through regular and intensive use.
In fact, many of the living chs fielded by the Larkinson Army had already served for five years or longer. Each of them had already progressed so much that adding cultivation should enable them to reach third order within a matter of months!
The Larkinson Clan was about to welco a lot of new third order living chs this year!
This was a fantastic developnt. Third order living chs cooperated a lot better with their ch pilots, enabling them to avoid lethal attacks more frequently and allowing them to defeat their opponents with greater ease.
More importantly than that, third order living chs accelerated the spiritual developnt of their ch pilots. This ant that the latter had a higher likelihood of breaking through to the rank of expert candidate or expert pilot!
Finally, stronger and more intelligent living chs also provided a lot more spiritual feedback of higher quality to design spirits.
The Golden Cat, the Illustrious One, Helena and many more spirits would be able to harvest a lot of valuable gains through deity cultivation once a lot of third order living chs started to appear!
Once any living ch model entered into mass production and started to get sold by the millions, the associated design spirits were bound to earn extravagant rewards for the services they rendered!
More importantly, none of the parties involved in these processes suffered any setbacks. The ch, the ch pilot and the design spirit benefited in their own ways, ensuring that each of them had every reason to maintain their win-win-win relationship!
Ves felt excited beyond belief as he imagined all of these implications. His design fla burned brighter as he felt that all of the ti and Ascension Points he spent on this work was about far more mutual growth than he had ever accomplished with his previous works!
