Chapter 537 Simulation Experiment
The two Yuan Souls, who had discussed the matter with their senior sister and senior uncle respectively, took a deep breath and agreed to give it a try.
Unlike Fang Hua and Ji Hui, these two originally preferred to forgo using their companion treasures and return to their physical bodies as soon as possible, hoping to live out their Spirit Transformation Realm existence... However, when they first entered the Spirit Transformation Realm, they were already quite old, and many years had passed since they were transformed into evil artifacts by evil cultivators. Now, even after they recover, they might only have a few hundred more years to live...
Moreover, if they perish during the soul division, all the large sums of money spent by the senior sister/junior uncle in the early stages will be wasted.
Even if they survive, their reconstructed bodies will only be at the Palace Opening Realm, and they will have to start cultivating all over again. They will definitely need a lot of resources later on... Moreover, they may need to use a lot of medicine during the soul division period, which will be a huge expense, not to mention the reward from King Zhong Dan, etc.
They genuinely didn't expect their senior sister/uncle to be willing to lend a helping hand.
What they didn't expect was that, after much deliberation, their senior sister/uncle persuaded them that if they really had the willpower to endure the pain of splitting their souls, they were still willing to pay for the subsequent expenses.
Both souls were deeply moved.
Naturally, they were even more determined—they absolutely could not let their senior sister/master uncle down!
With their senior sister/aunt protecting them so much, they naturally have to truly come back to life and must work even harder to cultivate in the future.
·
Several supporting elemental spirits all decided to split up their elemental spirits.
They trusted Zhong Cai a lot.
After all, before Zhong Cai, they had never heard of a primordial spirit that had been corrupted by evil cultivation regaining consciousness!
If Zhong Danwang can do this, splitting the primordial soul... if he studies it a little more, he should be able to do it too, right?
It is indeed difficult, but perhaps Zhong Danwang is the embodiment of a miracle!
The other few Yuan Souls who had signed contracts but had not received support hesitated to speak.
Because they are destined to rebuild their souls after their original souls are split, and they will gradually grow stronger, it is feared that they will not be able to achieve the goal of repaying 10,000 mid-grade Xuan stones every year.
Moreover, if they fail to split the Yuan Soul during the process, they may die, and then Zhong Cai's previous investment will be wasted.
Therefore, these primordial spirits don't know whether they should be willing or not.
·
Zhong Cai noticed the confusion among the contracted souls, smiled, and said, "You will naturally be the last to split your souls. At that time, you should not fail unless you cannot endure the pain."
Fang Hua, Ji Hui, and several other Yuan Souls who were preparing to go first fell silent for a moment.
...That's how it is. They can't let the alchemists' "property" be the first to cause trouble for them, can they?
Zhong Cai continued, “If your soul splitting fails, the initial expenses will be waived. If it succeeds, I will provide you with a lot of resources for cultivation after you are reshaped. You already have experience, so your cultivation will naturally be faster than before. The contract states that if you cannot repay all the Xuan Stones within a hundred years, the contract will be extended for another hundred years... So there is no need to worry.”
Upon hearing this, the several helpless contracted spirits replied in unison, "Yes! King Zhong Dan."
Zhong Cai nodded in satisfaction: "Since you've all decided this way, then wait a bit. There's no rush to reshape your physical bodies." He looked at the few souls who had companions, "Spend more time together with them recently."
Fang Hua and others: "..."
They understood what Zhong Cai meant: there was still a possibility of failure, so just in case, the family members should spend more time together... That way, if they really failed, they would have fewer regrets.
Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Zhong Cai smiled again: "I will make full preparations before starting, so there is no need to worry too much."
He went through all that trouble to wake the person up; if the person died during the soul-splitting process, he'd feel like he'd lost out, right?
Moreover, those few contracted spirit souls can make him money for a hundred or even several hundred years!
If one is lost, there will be less money, so he will definitely work harder.
So, he first tried to find a solution.
Once he figured out a solution, he would absolutely not make a move until he had achieved a 100% success rate in the simulation room!
Many Yuan Souls and cultivators looked at Zhong Cai.
They discovered that Zhong Danwang's smile carried determination and strong confidence.
Then they understood—Zhong Danwang absolutely did not want to lose money!
They felt even more at ease than before.
Meanwhile, many cultivators thought to themselves: No wonder he's ranked second on the Sky Ranking...
·
Yes, Zhong Cai still failed to reach the top of the list.
He is still too young and lacks sufficient foundation. While his alchemy skills are indeed very advanced, his main strength lies in his broad thinking. However, his actual technical skill is still insufficient to directly dethrone the top spot – the top spot also possesses some extremely outstanding techniques.
But Zhong Cai had a vague feeling that once he finished all his work, he would be able to reach the summit.
He can do it!
·
From then on, Zhong Cai spent most of her time living in the simulation room.
Some alchemists from the Lingxian Sect came to inquire about Zhong Cai's condition, and others wanted to ask him for a method to detoxify him.
The souls without contracts did indeed spend time with their companions and relatives. They hadn't seen each other for many years and had endless things to talk about. During the waiting process, they couldn't help but reminisce about their separation.
Those who have contracts are already prepared to serve as followers.
So they stayed in the house, ready to receive visitors and explain the situation to them.
Because Zhong Cai was in seclusion, the alchemists who sought his help naturally couldn't meet him and could only leave their messages.
Zhong Cai would occasionally take a break to clear her head, and she would select some messages from the comments to help the alchemists solve their problems.
·
As time went by, many of the cultivators who had been consuming resources on the battlefield gradually swallowed and refined those resources.
After they came out, they would also seek answers from the Nirvana Elders and Level 8 Alchemists who were stationed there.
Many people have made great progress.
After making progress, some reached a critical point and needed to go into seclusion, so they once again found an empty cultivation room and went in.
This great battle has brought countless benefits to the cultivators.
—As long as I can survive.
Many cultivators, alchemists, and even some who broke through to higher realms participated.
There are countless others who have made breakthroughs in secret techniques and alchemy.
Some martial arts cultivators and alchemists even made it onto the Sky Rankings because of the trials they underwent during this period.
Of course, the number is extremely small.
This is enough to prove that the foundation of the Lingxian Sect and the War God Hall has become even stronger.
·
Disassembling the elemental soul is really difficult.
Zhong Cai was very confident in himself, but it still took him more than a month to finally figure out a reasonably correct path.
The precious resources consumed and the alchemical techniques employed during this process are numerous and extremely complex.
After Zhong Cai finished, she felt completely numb.
He took a deep breath and began the simulated split.
Since Fang Hua took the initiative to be the first, he naturally used the simulated Fang Hua's primordial spirit to conduct a real test.
Because Fang Hua was the first one awakened, Zhong Cai knew his primordial spirit very well.
Now, when I try it, it feels quite familiar...
However, when I actually tried to do it, I failed in just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Zhong Cai had no idea about Fang Hua's willpower. When performing the "surgery," she completely disregarded willpower and only considered the stability of the Yuan Soul itself—in other words, no matter how painful it was, she assumed Fang Hua could endure it.
But Zhong Cai also knew that willpower was a very important factor and could not be ignored.
What he needs to do now is to start with consolidation, and then consider the issue of willpower.
However, just judging the stability of the Yuan Soul alone, Zhong Cai had to waste many opportunities.
The Yuan Soul is far too sensitive. If Zhong Cai loses her balance even slightly when she makes a move, it will cause the Yuan Soul to collapse.
He had to be extremely steady, and every movement had to be precise and flawless, without causing any chain reaction between souls.
What's even more terrifying is that when Zhong Cai makes a move, her technique must be so fast that she can split one into ten almost simultaneously!
Three souls and seven spirits make ten parts.
If they cannot be separated at almost the same time, it will result in two or three souls appearing successfully while all other souls collapse.
This "nearly same moment" is a very subtle time.
The intervals between them must be almost non-existent.
It has to be so fast that the three souls and seven spirits can't react, so fast that it's the same moment in their perception.
That speed is also terrifying.
This is the most important point in the whole approach, and it is also the difficult hurdle that Zhong Cai needs to overcome.
Zhong Cai worked hard and tried countless times until he became so skilled that he could complete the entire set of movements without having to think at all... before finally succeeding on his first try.
Then he continued to refine his work, constantly improving his success rate.
After a long time, Zhong Cai finally succeeded 100%.
And this is just a simulation; we must also consider the possible differences between it and reality.
This difference may lead to Zhong Cai's failure.
And Fang Hua's willpower, we need to start taking that into account.
Zhong Cai pondered for a while.
Now that he can split things up in an instant, what Fang Hua has to endure is actually a moment of pain.
But often, because the pain is so intense, it feels like "every second is an eternity," stretching a moment of pain into infinity in one's consciousness, making it unbearable...
Zhong Cai suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Let's think of a way to train Fang Hua's endurance first!
He should first simulate the pain that splitting the soul might cause, and have Fang Hua endure it multiple times until he can last at least a few breaths... In that case, he will most likely be able to withstand the pain of that moment of splitting.
As for how to adjust the level of pain...
Let's begin with the pain of a split soul.
Then comes the pain of being split in two, and so on, until it becomes ten times greater.
After all, the primordial soul is also divided into ten parts, so ten times the pain should be about right... right?
If you still feel it's not enough after trying it, then improve it again.
In order to survive, I need to endure more hardship and suffer more...
