Chapter 270: Soul Insect Net, Spirit Net Concept

In the cave cave, Lin Chen gently picked up a special spiritual insect that was larger than other ants, oddly shaped, top-heavy, and his eyes moved.

This is a spiritual spirit insect with unique abilities that evolved from ordinary spirit ants among the earthly insects.

As for its origin, Lin Chen roughly figured out its essence after some practice.

After the insect mother of the heaven and earth worms was seized by the monks' souls and gave birth to wisdom, the corresponding soul insects were derived.

This soul insect can actually devour the soul of a monk to grow, and can also derive various abilities such as soul impact, protection, and body seizing.

Devouring other people's souls to grow is something that even a ruthless demon cultivator would not dare to do, for fear that the incomplete memory of the original owner would distort his thinking and change his temperament.

However, these insects, relying on the difference in thinking between humans and insects, can actually use the collective consciousness of the insect swarm to refine the devoured souls and turn their power into their own use. It can be said to be very strange.

Lin Chen is also very coveted for this ability, and wants to develop a set of spells to refine the soul.

Of course, even if he researched and refined the power of the soul, he would not dare to use it on himself. After all, no one dared to guarantee anything involving soul consciousness, and there were no hidden dangers.

"But even so, these spells are precious and unusual. At worst, I will sell them to some devil kid in the future to experiment and see if there are any interesting reactions..."

Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on Lin Chen's face, but he quickly stopped his thoughts and continued to do what he expected.

Then, he directly raised the Divine Soul Spirit Insect in his hand to the position between his eyebrows. In the Huangting in his mind, vigorous Divine Soul power surged out, establishing a connection with it.

The reason why Lin Chen cares so much about these soul insects is not only because they can grow by constantly devouring the souls of monks.

Also because it can collect information and feed it back to the insect mother, who can even use it to remotely control the insect swarm. This is so similar to the soul Internet network he created!

And Lin Chen wanted to use this to develop his abilities!

At this moment, Lin Chen's soul power entered the mind of the spirit insect in his hand and forcibly took away the body of the spirit insect.

After a while, Lin Chen had a vague feeling in his mind, as if he could control every move of the new ants and command and prohibit them.

After a period of time passed, Lin Chen felt that he had completely established a connection with it. After pondering for a moment, he simply moved his mind and directly turned his vision into the body of the world.

As soon as he entered the insect's body, Lin Chen suddenly felt that the world was much different. He raised his head and looked up at his body, which felt as tall as a mountain.

He also vaguely felt that his body was connected to the spiritual insects in other directions, and was also controlled by a powerful blood source.

"Different spirit insects and the mother insect itself..." Lin Chen pondered for a moment and sent a message with the number one to another spirit insect.

Then, he picked up the soul spirit insect that received the message and connected it to it. Suddenly, a number appeared in his mind.

"Is information transmitted through the unique spiritual energy fluctuations among the insect swarms?"

After getting this result, Lin Chen's eyes lit up, and he continued to conduct repeated experiments in the next few days.

It is determined that within a range of ten miles, the soul spirit insects can transmit messages to each other, but within a hundred miles, the insect mother must be used as a transfer station to amplify the transmission of spiritual energy information waves.

As for why Lin Chen did this, the reason is also very simple.

In addition to his own soul computer, he plans to build a soul Internet with the insect mother and the soul soul insect as different hosts!

Although Lin Chen himself can build a soul network, the trouble is too great.

Not only will it cause serious consumption of the power of the soul in the body, but when he uses the soul network, his movements will be extremely severely restricted.

Of course, the most important thing is that the soul Internet built by Lin Chen is not only for himself, but also for others.

If you build the soul Internet by yourself, it is equivalent to treating it as a central processor and information forwarder. Information from any host will pass through him.

At that time, if someone has bad intentions, they can directly affect his soul through the medium.

This is something Lin Chen absolutely cannot allow, so a replacement must be found!

His original plan was to find a species similar to an octopus in the ocean of this world, and use its brain, the ability to possess the brain, and the developed nerves on its tentacles to transform it into a deep-sea octopus neural soul network.

But the emergence of the world gave him a better choice, and the soul network built with it may be better able to meet his needs.

The reason why he wants to build an extracorporeal soul network is Lin Chen's plan for future layout.

There are only three forces in Lingnan Cultivation Land, and he is a high-ranking member of the Qingyun Sect.

When there are no variables at high places, there are very few things that can threaten him. In addition, because of his valuable status, a large number of resources are open to him, so Lin Chen only needs to study and practice hard.

But when it comes to the outside world, whether there is only one cultivating force or various major cultivating forces, coupled with the issue of openness of high-level resources and inheritance, information has become a very critical factor.

So Lin Chen planned to imitate a certain novel in his previous life and establish a secret behind-the-scenes force to collect information and exchange intelligence.

If he were to do something more ruthless, Lin Chen could also try to let the soul insect parasitize the soul of other cultivators, so that while it can continue to grow, it can also steal other people's memories and knowledge.

At this time, a secret system that can transmit information becomes particularly important.

Of course, Lin Chen's ambitions do not stop there.

After research, he found that the soul insect can not only transmit information, but may also try to cast spells like cultivators!

The spellcasting of cultivators requires the essence of the body to mobilize the changes in the spiritual energy in the air.

The soul insect devours the soul and vaguely becomes an individual comparable to the soul level of the cultivator in the Qi Refining Period. In addition, it has a body and can use spirit stones as energy, so it does have the possibility of casting spells!

Ordinary cultivators need to learn to cast spells, but Lin Chen can try to build the spell into a mathematical model, and share it with the insect mother through the insect swarm, so that it may learn to cast spells.

Even if it is just a simple spirit bullet spell, it is enough to exert incredible power under the superposition of numbers!

Imagine if tens of thousands of spellcasting insects were hatched, and under Lin Chen's command, they worked together and formed tens of thousands of spirit bullets in an instant!

Perhaps a spirit bullet could not kill a Qi Refining Stage, but tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of spirit bullets, Lin Chen at the Nascent Soul stage dare not say, because he has not seen its great power, but destroying the current army of demon cultivators is not a problem!

Moreover, Lin Chen's ultimate goal is not limited to this, and even these spirit insects may become the key to the construction of a major project of his in the future.

In fact, when he first built his soul computer network, he had a vague idea.

If he remembered correctly, in the Western fantasy dnd novels he read in his previous life, there was a very famous thing called [Magic Net]!

It is the root of all laws, and any magician can use this magic net to play all kinds of incredible and extraordinary means.

And the magic goddess who controls the magic net not only has powerful strength, but is also the pinnacle of all magic professions!

Lin Chen himself is on the path of cultivation.

If he can do it, like the goddess of the magic net, and build a magic net covering the whole world, even if it is just a large area, for all living beings to cast spells.

Then he can make all the laws follow his heart and his words follow the law, and even use the legendary terrifying magical power [Law of Heaven and Earth] in one fell swoop, ignoring the realm to kill the enemy!

And by then, such an existence can also be called - [Spirit Net]!

"In the method of inner alchemy, the inspiration of Taiping Dao; the experience of building soul computers; the research on magic in the past..."

Countless past knowledge appeared in Lin Chen's mind.

He knew very well that the construction of such a large project would not be built overnight, and it would not be built by him alone. It would require the help of countless people among all living beings.

But it doesn't matter. He has come to this day, whether it is the golden elixir road from the inner alchemy method, or the flesh and blood cloning technique developed by the poisonous insects and blood pools, or the research on the spiritual energy itself...

Which one is not done by himself step by step?

‘But then again, my current methods and approaches are indeed a bit complicated…’

‘Perhaps I have to wait until I get to the outside world and come into contact with higher-level skills, and then summarize and generalize them from a high-level perspective, and then I can unify all methods…’

‘Perhaps I can use this opportunity to comprehend my own magic…’

This thought flashed through Lin Chen’s mind, and he continued to conduct research.

After all, the research object is the ability of the insect swarm itself, rather than dissecting them, so the simple laboratory in front of him is completely sufficient.

But what Lin Chen didn’t know was that while he was conducting self-research in the cave, the originally stable situation outside began to change dramatically.
