Chapter 310: The Tribulation of the World, the Path of the Heart

When condensing the outer shell of the Nascent Soul, the monk could not help but look back on his life.

In this process, people will re-experience the joy, happiness, sadness, regret, and even guilt and hatred they once had.

Experience the five poisons and six desires, the seven emotions and the six sufferings of human beings again,

Perhaps the biggest obstacle to achieving Yuanying is not technology or resources, but the recognition of oneself.

If you want to achieve Nascent Soul, you need to go through this mortal tribulation first and start questioning yourself.

Only by accepting your past self and all your mistakes and flaws can you condense the true Nascent Soul.

Without firm willpower, a monk might easily become addicted to his own memory and be unable to extricate himself. He would be permanently trapped in his own memory, making it difficult to escape.

At the same time, what is important in spiritual practice is that thoughts are unobstructed, but in the process of questioning one's mind, the most taboo thing is to become obsessed with something.

Obsession can make people fall into paranoia and madness. If it cannot be resolved for a long time,

Then it will wrap around the monks like tarsal maggots, constantly eroding their souls, making them sink deeper and deeper into pain and struggle, and eventually lead to self-destruction.

Obsession will eventually become the key to the inability of one's soul to settle in Yuanying!

Cultivation emphasizes the cultivation of both life and nature. Xing and life are the foundation of practice.

If you only have power but don't have the ability to control your heart, you will eventually become possessed and become a slave to power.

Only by completely cutting off the obsessions in the heart and letting everything dissipate like a passing cloud can one's state of mind be greatly improved and one can truly control one's own power.

After cutting off the past life, Xiao needs to face the memory after reincarnation.

Xiao, who came from different worlds, all the memories at this moment emerged one by one.

But to Xiao, these memories are just like the male protagonists of various happy stories. There is no obsession at all. It can be said that their lives are happy from beginning to end.

Among these memories, the only unpleasant thing is that he and I were killed by myself.

Xiao Jinsheng's seemingly huge memory data was like a white horse passing by without any hindrance to Xiao.

Xiao was easily integrated into the Nascent Soul, further improving his own Nascent Soul.

I don’t know how long it took, but when Xiao finally completed the copying of all soul marks, Xiao immediately began a comprehensive review.

However, at this moment, Xiao suddenly clearly noticed the gap between his soul mark and Johnny Silverhand.

The soul imprint that you copied is just a very simple database used to record your own emotions and memories.

Moreover, his soul imprint is not even comparable to those of data AI. It is completely an empty data shell without any independent cognitive ability.

It can be said that there is no difference in the manufacturing process between the two parties except that they will thoroughly mine their own memories!

However, the memory occupied by my soul mark is only 900G.

In comparison, Johnny Silverhand's soul mark is as high as 1000G!

Although the two seem to be almost the same, you need to know that Xiao's own memory is approaching a hundred years old.

Coupled with the memories of the seven "others and me" and the emotions carried in the memories, the amount of information is huge, but it still only occupies 900G of space.

On the other hand, Johnny Silverhand's soul mark data memory can actually surpass Xiao himself. Such a huge gap is really staggering.

However, this just proves that Xiao's first step was quite successful.

The core of the soul imprint lies in the soul itself.

If the soul does not settle in it, the soul imprint can generate self and consciousness on its own, which means that Xiao just copied an intelligent AI.

What the so-called soul mark touches is not the soul, but pure humanoid intelligent AI technology.

Then, all Xiao's previous plans will completely fail at this moment!

Fortunately, it turns out that soul imprinting is indeed technology that truly touches the soul, rather than so-called intelligent AI.

The copied soul imprint is the authentic self.

Even after the data Nascent Soul was initially successfully condensed, Xiao discovered the uniqueness of soul consciousness.

In other words, many soul imprints can be created, but only when the previous imprint dies can consciousness wake up in a new imprint.

In this way, after Arasaka Yorinobu became Saburo Arasaka, Saburo didn't appear until the end.

It's not because he doesn't want to show up, it's because he can't show up.

After the death of his body, Saburo Arasaka needs to reconnect with the soul imprint of the existing mikoshi in order to complete his resurrection.

It is likely that it will take a certain amount of time to gather the soul consciousness, so at this time, Saburo Arasaka is in the wandering ghost stage.

Otherwise, Hanako Arasaka would not have known that his father was killed by Yorinobu Arasaka at the beginning, and would not have known about his father's death until someone else notified him.

After roughly figuring out the nature of the soul mark, Xiao was satisfied and began to modify it and smear it into his own shape.

The first thing Xiao needs to modify is to synchronize the Nascent Soul and physical body programs so that he can control both the Nascent Soul and the physical body at the same time, instead of only having unilateral control.

After all, the Nascent Soul and the physical body are equally important, and they also need the ability to fight at the same time.

In this regard, in Cyberpunk 2077, the twin brothers Zuo and You in the black boxing side quest provided Xiao with an inspiration.

The neural wave synchronization device can allow the wills of the left and right brothers to eventually merge into one, and the two bodies share one will, and can even control the bodies at the same time to continue the boxing match.

The neural wave synchronization technology was soon transplanted into the data Yuanying by Xiao. The feeling was very strange at first, as if one person existed in two worlds at the same time.

But soon, the powerful data processing ability allowed Xiao to quickly adapt to the existence of the Yuanying and do it as if he was using his arms.

The next step is the most important step, programming the composition of the Yuanying, further improving the calculation rate of the Yuanying, and giving the Yuanying the ability to grow by itself.

The focus of cultivating immortals is self-optimization and growth, rather than fixing everything from the beginning. If there is no subsequent growth, then the practice will be meaningless.

In addition, not all cultivators have the computing power of Xiao's level. The essence of the existence of the Yuanying is to better control the increasingly large body and energy system.

Of course, the most important function cannot be forgotten, strengthening the soul. After all, the Yuanying is just the beginning of the evolution of the soul.
