Exploring Immortality Cultivation
Chapter 474 - 228: Fusion! Deft Operation

"Strong acquired will, give it a try."

Wu Chengdao's tone was very tempting.

The mechanism of the pseudo acquired will was unknown; this direct extraction of thoughts from the soul for transcription into a calculator relied on a black box operation, with each output varying in quality. Even relying on trial and error, iterative methods to insert manually written Spirit Rhinoceros Collection was also a black box operation. Even with every detail recorded, it was difficult to create two identical acquired wills.

For strong artificial intelligence like Jarvis, it was something that could be encountered but not sought. Therefore, everyone here was curious about what it actually felt like to use Jarvis.

However, their emotions were merely limited to curiosity. The joy of acquiring the fish was far less than the joy of acquiring the fishing skills. Although strong artificial intelligence was excellent and powerful, for this group of geniuses, the records of developing this strong artificial intelligence were far more precious than the artificial intelligence itself. These studies could deepen their understanding of human hearts and wills and enhance their cognition of cutting-edge technology. If they could integrate this understanding with what they had learned, perhaps they could create their own most suitable acquired wills.

Cultivators had plenty of time. In the face of time measured in thousands and millions of years, no barriers or walls were a problem.

"I'll give it a try." Wang Qi's thought prompted, and his shoulder armor, obeying his command, automatically flew onto his shoulder. Then, the power of his soul probed into the shoulder armor and ring. He then felt some foreign information being inserted into his thoughts. This could not be compared to "seeing an interface" or "hearing a prompt sound" because even if an operational interface was directly projected into consciousness, the operator still needed to think about "how to operate." However, in this current situation, the existence of Jarvis had merged with Wang Qi's thoughts, entering into Wang Qi's thinking process.

Arguably, every thought of Wang Qi's was a command to Jarvis, and every reaction of Jarvis was a thought of Wang Qi's.

This was the excellence of the pseudo acquired will. Jarvis's consciousness algorithm, although having a large portion artificially written, was still based on a replica of Wang Qi. Therefore, this level of consciousness integration did not require any conversion.

"This feeling..." A massive amount of information surged into Wang Qi's mind... no, that was not quite accurate. Jarvis's existence had transformed two Immortal Artifact level calculators into Wang Qi's thinking organs, with Jarvis acting as Wang Qi's secondary personality. However, these two Immortal Artifacts' computational abilities were too powerful, representing an over-strong redundancy plugin for Wang Qi's self-awareness. A self-determining mechanism maintained a clear boundary between Wang Qi and Jarvis, preventing any confusion. On one hand, Wang Qi's self would not be contaminated by Jarvis; on the other hand, Jarvis could mechanically handle the powerful computational duties of the Immortal Artifacts.

The first to be optimized was Wang Qi's perception, which made the number of bits Wang Qi's consciousness received constant, yet the amount of information greatly increased.

If Wang Qi's previous view and hearing of the world were mixed with a lot of noise and snow dots, now the world that fell into Wang Qi's eyes was error-free, complete volumes, pure sound quality, high-definition uncoded—the file size was similar, but the volume of information had increased by an order of magnitude!

"My thinking has also become much clearer," Wang Qi muttered as he looked at his own palm. He pushed open the door and walked out of the house, arriving in the center of the courtyard. He crouched down, his palm gently floating down to the ground. Then, the stone ground surprisingly showed ripples like water!

These were not invisible fluctuations formed by distorting the air, but rather the ground deforming like a viscous liquid.

Without any strong vibrations or immense force, the ground surprisingly exhibited a liquid-like existence under Wang Qi's palm?

The Array around the courtyard exerted its might, Spirit Light covering the ground, turning the "water-like" surface rapidly viscous—morphing from water to oil, then from oil to asphalt before finally solidifying. However, barely audible "crackle and pop" noises emanated from within the courtyard, eventually fading as the cloud-like gloss passed over; the Array had somehow suffered damage.

Chen Feng wished he could bash his head on the table, "This is going to cost money… this is going to cost money… I just went broke…"

Wang Qi subconsciously wanted to ignore Chen Feng's laments about poverty, so Jarvis kindly filtered it out for him. Wang Qi stood up, looked at his palm, and muttered to himself, "This is the power of the Elephant Phase Wave Skill at the Foundation Establishment Stage."

The Elephant Phase Wave Skill is an unparalleled mental method that breaks the barriers between the macroscopic and microscopic realms, and it's not just a simple interaction of "offensive spear" and "solid shield." Its real function is to adjust the fluctuations of matter.

On a subatomic level, matter exhibits wave-particle duality, but as it transitions from the microscopic to the macroscopic, the fluctuations weaken, thus highlighting its particulate nature. The Elephant Phase Wave Skill, however, can alter this, forcibly emphasizing the wave nature of matter in the macroscopic domain. It can also modify the density of the subatomic probability clouds or even render a cluster of subatomic particles relatively static.

However, that would require stronger perception and more precise operational abilities.

"Due to the Elephant Phase Wave Skill, I can inherently sense the faint fluctuations of matter, and Jarvis has amplified this perception, allowing me to execute this move. But I still can't sense movements on an atomic level, so I can't perform precise manipulations down to that scale…" Wang Qi assessed his own capabilities. He then turned to Chen Feng and asked, "Boss, do you have any old, low-level Talisman Artifacts you no longer need? Something a bit harder or with sufficient Spiritual Power would do."

"You're up to something again… never mind, take this, and stop using my courtyard for practice." Chen Feng tossed Wang Qi a brocaded box, "I used these when I was still at the Qi Cultivation Stage, a set of Flying Needles, each a low-level Talisman Artifact on their own."

Wang Qi pulled out a Flying Needle which, enveloped in the Elephant Phase Wave Skill Mana in the form of imitating the Material Wave, Liu started altering, its surface fluctuating and undergoing various transformations.

"If I were still in the Qi Cultivation Stage, I could strike this needle hard, cutting it or even burning away the Spiritual Prohibition inside using the Heavenly Entropy Technique. But to arbitrarily twist and flatten it like this… this is a first for me!" Wang Qi watched as the Flying Needle continuously changed shape, then took out a rock used as a paperweight and similarly warped it with the Phase Wave, "The higher the Spiritual Energy index of an object, the more strength it consumes to change…"

Even a high-order Magic Artifact could be distorted to some extent!

Wang Qi then picked up a steel needle in each hand, crossed the two needles, and pressed them together forcefully. Without any noticeable increase in temperature, the two needles fused into one.

"What kind of method is this?" Wu Chengdao was stunned. He had been deeply focused on studying mechanics and calculators and was still insufficiently knowledgeable about spells.

Su Junyu pondered and said, "It should be an application of the Heavenly Song, altering the electromagnetic force connecting the Material Bonds, causing the two needles to couple."

"Because I still can't clearly sense the electric charges inside ordinary objects, I can only do this with metals rich in free electrons for now… Hehehe… Hahahahaha!" Wang Qi roared with laughter, "This feeling, it's absolutely exhilarating!"
