CHAPTER 89: CHAPTER 88: THE CONCEPT OF INTELLIGENT SOUL BANNER

Lu Yan’s spirits soared.

Although it was just a rudimentary idea, if the intelligent ghosts in the Soul Banner could truly be realized, it would bring endless possibilities to it!

The Soul Banner, which commands tens of thousands of fierce ghosts, appears intimidating, but the weakest ghosts actually find it difficult to pose a threat to truly high-level cultivators.

In a direct confrontation, most fierce ghosts can only serve as tools for the Ghostly Realm, and the main confrontation relies on the primary soul.

The main reason for this is that the fierce ghosts refined in the Soul Banner lack much spiritual wisdom, so they can only passively use basic ghostly abilities such as Ghost Qi and Ghost Claw, relying solely on numbers to contend.

But if the fierce ghosts were endowed with a level of intelligence equivalent to an Intelligent Brain, they could use Ghost Qi to perform spells, drastically enhancing their power, making individual ghosts comparable to cultivators of the same rank.

Furthermore, due to the super high computational power and high logic of an Intelligent Brain, with only slight designs, it could become the most perfect array node.

Even if an Array Master sets up an array, they can only control the general trend of the array, unable to precisely control the magical power output and Spiritual Qi fluctuation of each array pattern.

But an Intelligent Brain can precisely refine this data to every single array pattern, leveraging its natural computational advantage to potentially surpass mages immersed in the field for years, bringing the power of arrays to its utmost.

A Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator can easily contend with hundreds of Qi Cultivation cultivators because in terms of spell power or speed, Qi Cultivation cultivators cannot be compared to Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators.

As long as the Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator is willing, they can even kill a Qi Cultivation cultivator from several hundred meters away, yet the spells of Qi Cultivation cultivators can’t even graze the hem of a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator’s robe.

But if these hundreds of Qi Cultivation cultivators were to connect their minds, they could form a second-tier array, at which point surrounding and killing a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator would be easy.

Not to mention at the end of the Soul Computer System is that peak cyber version of the Intelligent God.

If one day the Soul Banner could evolve to the level of the Intelligent God, all world versions could be conquered.

Thoroughly motivated, Lu Yan began to diligently search through the vast information feedback of the Intelligent Brain Spirit Body, looking for content related to soul transformation.

After a round of searching, the results greatly disappointed Lu Yan.

Despite the abundance of information in the Intelligent Brain Spirit Body, there was nothing on soul transformation technology.

Upon reflection, this makes sense; soul transformation technology is core to creating Intelligent Brains, even within the Universal Giant Corporation, it should be top secret.

The Intelligent Brain Spirit Body in Lu Yan’s Soul Banner is just a personal Intelligent Brain, so it is normal not to store such high-end knowledge.

However, Lu Yan was not discouraged, because there was a large amount of special spiritual ability code on the Intelligent Brain Spirit Body, many of which had not been seen in the "Basic Spiritual Ability Code."

Lu Yan realized that this might be the core of soul transformation technology, and if he could analyze this part of the spiritual ability code, he might gain something.

Therefore, after just creating artificial spiritual veins, Lu Yan once again entered secluded cultivation.

This time, his focus was on the cornerstone of the cyber version, the spiritual ability code.

...

The more Lu Yan came into contact with the cyber version, the more curious he became about its various special aspects.

Spiritual ability rules, Intelligent God, soul transformation... all these secrets ultimately trace back to the spiritual ability code.

For the past two months, Lu Yan focused mainly on improving his cultivation and artificial spiritual veins, somewhat neglecting the spiritual ability code.

After shifting his focus, Lu Yan began to realize the profoundness of the spiritual ability code.

Due to the knowledge blockade in the Upper City District, the Lower City District lacks systematic compiler knowledge textbooks, so merely researching spiritual ability code did not necessarily yield results.

So Lu Yan took a different approach, starting his research from "Array Profound Mystery" and "Basic Spiritual Ability Code," attempting to find answers based on the commonality in different versions using array patterns as a foundation.

In the past, when Lu Yan first obtained "Array Profound Mystery," he tried researching arrays.

But back then, due to the lack of knowledge and weak cultivation, Lu Yan did not dive deep into research.

However, after entering the Cyan Simurgh Sect’s Scripture Pavilion and supplementing his knowledge of arrays by reading countless books, Lu Yan now had some basic understanding of arrays.

After advancing to the twelfth layer of Qi Cultivation, Lu Yan’s soul was strengthened, and coupled with his substantial absorption of Moonlight Spiritual Qi, his soul’s strength already surpassed that of ordinary cultivators of the same rank.

Combined, Lu Yan’s soul strength reached near the Foundation Establishment Stage level, and just after completing Foundation Establishment, he could transform into a Divine Soul. With enhanced soul vitality, his understanding of low-level arrays became clearer and more profound.

The core of the array system in Xianxia lies in calculation, with complex and tight calculations connecting all array patterns into one.

The spiritual ability code system relies on the permutation and combination of spiritual abilities, where the arrangement and combination of each array pattern are akin to a program, manifesting different effects under varying circumstances.

Separately, these are extremely challenging points.

The vast amount of calculations in the Xianxia array system allows no external force, relying only on the powerful souls of high-level cultivators for computation and analysis; thus, penetrating an array often requires years of accumulation.

This complexity makes the array system highly exclusive, with those who have profound attainment often being the strong individuals from major sects.

But in the cyber version, technology has evolved to the age of personal terminals, where both the evolution of mathematics and breakthroughs in computer technology have made basic calculation incredibly simple.

As long as a calculation can be articulated, a personal terminal’s computational speed can easily execute it, making understanding and setting up arrays no longer difficult.

Of course, this is limited to low-level arrays, as high-level arrays involve the fundamental rules of heaven and earth, which cannot be expressed in mathematical language, making it difficult for personal terminals to process them.

However, high-level arrays that ordinary computers cannot comprehend can be understood by the Soul Computer, as the existence of the Intelligent Brain almost perfectly complements the array.

As long as the soul computation power is sufficient, even the legendary Immortal Array may be cracked.

The difficulty of the arrangement and combination of spiritual ability codes also found answers within the Xianxia array system.

The Xianxia version of arrays never consisted of rigidly stacked array patterns; arrays require constant evolution using the right time and place, leveraging the harmony of heaven, earth, and humanity.

In terms of array pattern arrangements and combinations, the Xianxia version has already been pushed to the extreme.

Since the arrangement and combination of spiritual ability codes are difficult, why not mimic the Xianxia array and make the spiritual ability code adapt in real-time according to environmental needs?

By showcasing the framework of the array system in the spiritual ability code, the spiritual ability system was pushed in another direction.

The integration and mutual promotion of different version systems, combined with the assistance of personal terminals, rapidly increased Lu Yan’s experience with arrays and spiritual ability codes.

In the process, Lu Yan’s vision for an intelligent Soul Banner also became increasingly clear.
