A team of four cultivators in the Golden Core Realm slowly entered Morling City, overwhelmed by various ties.
One man in a gray robe exclaimed, “They say Morling City is the ‘City of Hope’ or the ‘City of Miracles’ in the mortal realm, and it’s true. It’s hard to imagine such a city exists in the world. Are we not in the immortal realm?”
Another woman pointed in amazement at a huge screen displaying rolling text and asked, “What’s that? The words on it are constantly scrolling. How is that possible? And the box next to it can even produce sound…”
The others followed her finger and saw a massive screen broadcasting news from various places, updating in real-time.
Underneath the big screen, there was a crowd of onlookers.
Curious, the four couldn’t help but ask someone who seemed knowledgeable. That person looked at them with a condescending gaze and said, “You don’t know this? This is a spiritual power-generated advertising screen that can play news from all over!”
After saying that, he arrogantly walked away.
The tone almost made the four draw their swords!
After wandering around the city, the four were deeply impressed by this magical “City of Artefacts”. After getting a job advertisement, they were intrigued.
The man in the gray robe pointed to the information above and said, “It says they’re recruiting ‘Golden Core Realm construction workers’, with meals and accommodation provided, generous benefits of a thousand Starry Sky coins per month, and those who perform well have the chance to enter the ‘Starry Sky Immortal Technology Academy’ for study! Hiss—there’s actually a chance to enter the legendary Starry Sky Academy for study!”
“Shall we give it a try?”
“If we join the construction team, will we be considered members of the Starry Sky Merchant Guild?”
“It should be!”
“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go, sign up now!”
…
Two distant cultivators from the immortal sect stayed in Morling City for a few days.
“Senior brother, our money is running out! When should we return to the immortal sect?”
“Hmm? So soon! How much is left?”
“We exchanged five hundred Starry Sky coins with spiritual power stones before, and now we have just over a hundred left. At most, it can sustain us in Morling City for three more days.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Three days should be enough! We’ll talk about it after three days.”
“Senior brother, the three-day stay is conditional on not being able to go to the ‘Flowing Nightingale Club’ to have fun!”
Don’t misunderstand, the club here is very respectable, a place where various games gather.
“What? What if we go to the club?”
“One day, we’ll go tonight, and tomorrow we’ll have to leave.”
“Or, let’s sell my artifact first! Then we can go back and report to the sect that it was damaged in battle and ask for a replacement!”
“Senior brother, are you crazy? And your artifact is outdated, it won’t fetch a good price here. It’s not even worth as much as a spiritual power-generated car.”
……
In an ordinary courtyard in Morling City, a woman was tidying up her child’s uniform, then handed him a lunchbox, saying, “Alright, go to school! Listen to the teacher!”
The little boy chuckled, “Don’t worry! I’m going to join the research team in the future, the one designing new and amazing spiritual power-generated toys!”
The woman smiled, “I don’t hope for you to join any research team. As long as you become a glorious worker like your father in the factory, I’ll be satisfied.”
The little boy pouted, perfunctorily agreed, then quickly ran out the door.
…
A tourist finished eating his rice ball and casually tossed the big leaf in his hand.
But within moments, a man in a red and blue uniform, holding a sign, confronted the tourist, which read ‘Please dispose of trash in the bin, no littering’. He sternly said, “Sir, please pick up the trash you threw on the ground and dispose of it in the bin. And you’re fined five Starry Sky coins!”
The tourist was shocked and immediately raised his voice, “What? Is this robbery?”
After a dispute, the tourist was knocked down and taken to the detention center, the type that doesn’t care if you’ve had your meal.
…
Every corner of the city witnessed events that presented a completely different appearance from many years ago, almost making people forget what Morling City looked like twenty years ago.
To many, the changes in Morling City seemed unbelievable, but in Su Hao’s eyes, it was still too slow!
After so many years, failing to popularize the signal was one thing, but not even successfully debugging and developing a personal computer was too slow for Su Hao. So he personally took action, participating in the development of spiritual power-generated computers. With the collective efforts of everyone, this hurdle was finally overcome in just one year.
The popularization of personal computers marked the beginning of the information age!
There is reason to believe that in another twenty years, the world will have a different appearance.
And Su Hao’s basic information exchange platform was a success, leaving the rest to the wisdom of the masses.
During these ten years, Su Hao focused on the research of consciousness information and spiritual power, but there was not much progress.
Instead, after a lot of attempts and analysis, he inadvertently discovered the problem that cultivators in this world were stuck at the Nascent Soul Realm, unable to continue to break through on their own!
That is ‘thought’!
Yes, it’s thought. Cultivation not only involves training the body and cultivating spiritual power, but also strengthening the power of consciousness. And ‘thought’ is the core breakthrough for cultivators along the way.
Qi Induction Realm focuses on ‘mental thought’, Foundation Establishment Realm focuses on ‘intentional thought’, Golden Core Realm focuses on ‘perceptual thought’!
The first three steps of cultivation, each breakthrough relies on the transformation of spiritual power. After the transformation, one has the ability to control spiritual power-generated power and continue to advance.
However, at the Nascent Soul Realm, ‘spiritual thought’, and at the Unity Realm, ‘divine thought’, their consciousness power is essentially no different from the ‘perceptual thought’ of the Golden Core Realm!
It’s just that ‘spiritual thought’ resonates with spiritual power-generated power, gaining a tremendous increase!
In other words, what stops all cultivators from advancing further is not the concentration of spiritual power-generated power in their bodies, but the inability to find a way to transform their mental power!
It seems that perceptual thought has reached its limit! It can only be strengthened through accumulation of practice, but its essence remains unchanged.
Through endless practice and various attempts, the root issue still lies in the power of consciousness!
In cultivation, spiritual power-generated power is the material, but thought is the core!
In other words, in order for Su Hao to find the correct breakthrough direction beyond the Unity Realm, he must first find a way to continue the transformation of consciousness.
Regarding ‘thought’, Su Hao has his own understanding: “To strengthen consciousness information and add new functions to consciousness information!”
Su Hao then thought, “Perhaps, after finding a way to break through to a new realm beyond the Nascent Soul Realm, using spiritual power-generated power as a stepping stone to achieve eternal consciousness, the feasibility will be answered!”
So now the question is, how can consciousness power undergo transformation?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“In this world, people have failed after thousands of years of exploration! Can I succeed?”
Su Hao exited the pinball space, returned many zombies to their original positions, murmuring to himself, “I will definitely succeed, and it seems that I have already seen the tightly closed door that continues to undergo conscious transformation.”
That closed door represents a problem: what is consciousness based on?
Solving this problem will open that door!
…
Some may say that consciousness is based on the material of the brain, and strengthening consciousness essentially means strengthening the brain.
Su Hao agrees with this viewpoint, although it’s not entirely correct, but the core is indeed like this.
The brain is a very important factor for the existence of consciousness, and it can be said that the brain is a necessary but not sufficient condition for consciousness.
However, what Su Hao wants to know is not this. He wants to know the deeper principles of consciousness existence.
In other words, he wants to know: without the brain, can consciousness still think freely or even be more powerful?
About this question, he doesn’t know either, because he hasn’t seen it or tried it. Maybe it’s possible, maybe it’s not!
This question can only be believed to have a solution one day in the future.
What Su Hao needs to do now is not to make consciousness independent of the brain in one go, but to find a way to transform consciousness power again!
The direction of transformation involves either ‘strengthening the brain’ or ‘adding new functions’.
The ‘Prophet’ belongs to the category of strengthening the brain, while ‘Spiritual Tentacles’ and ‘Spiritual Thought’ belong to the category of adding new functions. Su Hao wants to continue to break through, so he needs to choose one of these two categories as the main direction of breakthrough.
Su Hao analyzed to himself, “Strengthening the brain can try to follow the path of the ‘Prophet’, but it seems that the effect will not be significant. Even as the ‘Prophet’, I have no signs of breaking through beyond the Nascent Soul Realm. To strengthen the brain, we need to start from another direction, such as ‘spiritual power-generated power’.
Adding new functions can refer to the ‘Fu-style Mental Training Method’ and ‘Mind Techniques’, trying to deduce the principles of spiritual power transformation.”
His idea is to work on both aspects simultaneously, researching both brain strengthening and adding new functions.
Whichever proves useful, he will use it.
However, finding the answer seems difficult even just to think about.
“Take it slowly, the advantage of time is on my side! First, determine the research direction, then proceed step by step, and the answer will eventually be in front of me.”
