Chapter 755: Chapter 345: Eunuch Cultivation Technique, the Essence of Yang God
“Sister Zhang, your cultivation has just shown some improvement and still needs to be consolidated. Besides, you’ve just obtained the ‘Red Cloud Jade Book.’ If you comprehend it for a few more days, you might gain something.”
Zheng Fa nagged incessantly, reluctant to see Sister Zhang make any rapid progress.
He knew that now, with Haori Mountain pressuring step by step, Sister Zhang hoped to enhance her strength more quickly.
But… thirty percent?
Ninety percent, Zheng Fa still felt was not secure!
Sister Zhang looked at him, the burning desire for cultivation progress in her eyes suddenly transformed into a gentle spring water.
“Uh…” Yan Wushuang suddenly felt a chill where Zheng Fa had patted his head and promptly realized, “I have an epiphany, off to form my Nascent Soul!”
…
At Ten Thousand Immortals Island, in a small courtyard, while playing with the soft fringe of Sister Zhang’s forehead, Zheng Fa suddenly thought of something and asked:
“Senior Sister, why did you say that the Yang God Technique suits you so well?”
Sister Zhang nudged her small head against Zheng Fa’s chest and lazily replied, “The Yang God Technique is somewhat similar to the Nine Chapters of Mathematical Array.”
“Similar?”
Seeing his curiosity, Sister Zhang drew a circle in the air, and a water mirror appeared by their side.
“This is the structure of the Nine Luminaries Primordial Spirit.”
In the water mirror, a golden translucent human figure suddenly appeared.
“The most important part is this.”
Sister Zhang waved her hand, and the water mirror suddenly enlarged, revealing dense patterns inside the human body.
Looking at the shapes of these patterns, Zheng Fa suddenly frowned, pondered for a moment, and then shouted, “Nervous system?”
“Nervous system?”
This time, it was Sister Zhang who didn’t understand.
She looked at Zheng Fa, her eyes shining with curiosity.
Zheng Fa looked closely at the patterns on that human body, and the more he looked, the more certain he became.
Most of these are very similar to the pathways of the human nervous system!
Zheng Fa had no intention of answering Senior Sister’s doubts; in fact, he didn’t have an answer himself.
The Dharma Body Technique of the Demon Sect, in Zheng Fa’s view, utilized corresponding spells to create a powerful body endowed with great strength.
The Yang God Technique…
Could it simulate the nervous system?
Wouldn’t that be simpler than the Dharma Body Technique?
He examined the human figure, realizing that these patterns were not a complete nervous system, especially in the brain area, which seemed rather simplified.
Zheng Fa also understood why Senior Sister said the Yang God Technique and the Nine Chapters of Mathematical Array were ingeniously similar.
Essentially, the nervous system transmits information through the transmission of electrical signals between synapses, a process not much different from the Nine Chapters of Mathematical Array.
Modern science has even come up with neuromorphic computing that mimics biological neural networks.
For the first time, Zheng Fa felt that the Xuanwei Realm and modern research had unexpectedly converged.
In this regard, perhaps the Yang God Technique has gone further than the present.
“Junior Brother?”
“Hmm?”
“Why are you smiling?”
“I was thinking, the predecessors of the Immortal Sect are truly unexpectedly powerful.”
He also understood now that with the observation skills of cultivators, discovering the function of the nervous system really wasn’t difficult.
The challenge was how to simulate it with various spells…
More importantly, most Immortal Sect cultivators were likely just simulating without understanding the underlying principles.
But it must be said, such simulation was extremely successful and powerful.
Modern artificial intelligence algorithms are actually not fully mature, while the neural simulations in the Yang God Technique instead align more with the definition of intelligent life.
“In this way, I reckon I understand what an Artifact Spirit truly is…”
Zheng Fa murmured softly.
He had always found it unreasonable—Xuanwei Realm evidently didn’t have much research on the formation mechanisms of consciousness and intelligence, yet they could create such highly intelligent constructs like Artifact Spirits.
Now it seems, it’s likely just simulation of the nervous system.
Zheng Fa suddenly straightened up, his eyes bright:
“Senior Sister, the value of the Yang God Technique surpasses my expectations.”
“The complete ‘Red Cloud Jade Book’… is very valuable!”
“It can even further improve the Nine Chapters of Mathematical Array!”
In Zheng Fa’s view, the Yang God Technique is a highly sophisticated artificial intelligence algorithm!
In modern times, it would hold immense value.
Enhancing the intelligence degree of the Nine Chapters of Mathematical Array should greatly benefit too.
The simplification of the brain part in the water mirror likely stems from the incompleteness of the ‘Red Cloud Jade Book.’
Perhaps others desire the ‘Red Cloud Jade Book’ because this cultivation technique is powerful, a True Inheritance Technique of Haori Mountain.
But as Zheng Fa saw it, the wisdom of predecessors and the cultivation approach encapsulated in this ‘Red Cloud Jade Book’ are the most precious.
Previously, he sought the ‘Red Cloud Jade Book’ mainly to exchange with Tianhe Sect for the cultivation method of the Immortal Trapping Sword.
Now… his interest in this cultivation technique had increased significantly!
…
At night, atop the Divine Fire Mountain, there were only seven Divinity Transformation cultivators.
They sat cross-legged in mid-air, their hands continuously casting spells, refining the Immortal Trapping Sword within the volcano’s crater.
The earth fire roared, and wave upon wave of heat, carrying the scent of sulfur, assaulted the seven people face-on.
Though Shi Nandang was a Divinity Transformation cultivator and not afraid of this heat, day after day without daring to leave Divine Fire Mountain, worrying continuously lest something went amiss with the Immortal Trapping Sword, made the heat in his heart not less than the volcano’s crater.
Suddenly, a cool breeze blew from outside the mountain, refreshing his spirit and softening his eyebrows.
Seeing him like this, a Divinity Transformation cultivator beside him hurriedly chuckled: “Good wind!”
Shi Nandang glanced at him and nodded slightly.
Though he said nothing, that Divinity Transformation froze as if he had been encouraged and laughed: “Sitting here all day without a moment’s release is truly wearing.”
“Especially since Master’s time is so precious, yet he too is lingering here… For the sect, Master really spares no effort. Upon returning to the mountain, he surely would receive substantial rewards.”
Hearing this, a faint smile finally blossomed on Shi Nandang’s face.
Zheng Fa, transforming into a breeze, hovered behind Shi Nandang, listening to the words of this Divinity Transformation, he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly:
The diligence of Shi Nandang he hadn’t seen.
But as for his social aptitude, that was evident indeed.
Observing the other five Divinity Transformation cultivators’ slightly flattering gaze towards Shi Nandang, Zheng Fa felt a sense of realization:
In Haori Mountain, even among Divinity Transformations, the status difference between True Inheritors and non-True Inheritors was like night and day.
At that moment, Shi Nandang also laughed, speaking up: “We just have to endure a while longer. Zheng Fa doesn’t have much time left!”
Hmm?
“You all shouldn’t find this place boring. Just think, if not for this Immortal Sword, wouldn’t Zheng Fa have attacked long ago?”
“Even now, if he dared to come, would he?”
Upon hearing this, the other six Divinity Transformation cultivators burst into laughter, seemingly finding some sense in the words.
