Chapter 64: The Composition of the Evil Martial Spirit
Huo Yuhao found Zhuang Lao's data extremely peculiar, almost reaching the theoretical lower limit of Spirit development.
"spirit power level 96, body strength 97, meridian strength 98, top-tier Spirit Life Tree, 50% lit."
A top-tier Spirit that was only half lit could actually support Zhuang Lao in cultivating to level 96, which meant Zhuang Lao's Life Tree was extremely powerful even among top-tier Spirits.
The reason for Zhuang Lao's extremely low Spirit development should be due to the life attribute; the strength of the Life Tree meant that simple healing and plant attributes were insufficient to support the lighting of Zhuang Lao's Spirit core.
Zhuang Lao also marveled at his own data, never expecting his Spirit to be the strongest among the elders.
Among the several top-tier Spirit core models Huo Yuhao had collected, the most complex and exquisite in construction was his own secondary awakened Spiritual Eye Spirit.
The second tier consisted of Zhuang Lao's Life Tree and his own Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, both of which were very close in quality.
The third tier was the Blue Silver Emperor's Spirit core structure transmitted by Xiao Jin; its basic attributes were not outstanding among all top-tier Spirits, but its plasticity was extremely strong.
Therefore, defining Spirit strength solely by the initial awakened Spirit core level was also not very precise.
For example, although the Blue Silver Emperor Spirit ranked lower among top-tier Spirits, the enhancement of the Blue Silver Emperor Spirit core by absorbing spirit rings and Spirit Bones was enormous.
This was another function of absorbing spirit rings besides lighting the Spirit core: making the Spirit core more exquisite, or making it chaotic.
A nine-ring Blue Silver Emperor Spirit, if all nine spirit rings were perfectly matched with suitable attributes.
Compared to the initially awakened Blue Silver Emperor Spirit, the exquisiteness of its Spirit core was enhanced by nearly a factor of one.
A nine-ring Extreme Ice Spirit, after attaching suitable spirit rings of the same age, would likely only see an improvement of six or seven percent compared to when it was first awakened.
However, this data was not as easy to detect as Spirit construction and lighting degree, as spirit rings of different attributes and different ages would all affect the data.
Similarly, in the data of the Dark Blue Silver Grass that Xiao Jin had previously transmitted to Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao discovered that so-called evil Spirits were Spirits whose core had lit up a complete functional part.
It was precisely this wrongly lit part that formed the special nature of evil Spirits.
When Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass Spirit core was fully lit, it became the top-tier Spirit known as the Blue Silver Emperor.
Huo Yuhao was initially very surprised after learning this, because ten thousand years later, Xiao Jin had said that no Spirit Master would awaken the Blue Silver Emperor Spirit.
Then the origin of Tang Ya's Blue Silver Emperor Spirit became very clear. Was it the help secretly given by Tang San? After all, Xiao Jin from ten thousand years later had said that the Blue Silver Emperor was a Spirit that only Tang San's descendants could awaken.
The essence of Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass should be to absorb life force to promote the advancement of her own Spirit, gradually transforming towards the Blue Silver Emperor.
And after absorbing the life force of plants, it would grant other plants a promotion in their rank.
However, since the Blue Silver Emperor also had a part of its structure that absorbed a large amount of heaven and earth elemental energy and converted it into life force, most of the life force absorbed by the Spirit was provided by this part.
Without this part providing life force, the Spirit core would continuously and slowly absorb the Spirit Master's own life force to complete the missing crucial part.
Therefore, the Spirit Master's mind would be affected by the Spirit, just as people in extreme hunger would have an intense craving for food.
Spirit Masters who have long been losing their own life force would also have an immense craving for life force.
But when a Spirit Master uses this part of the Spirit structure to absorb other people's life force, it is like adding diesel to a gasoline car, which will cause destructive mutations to the Spirit structure.
When this part of the Spirit structure completely mutates into a distorted part, it will thoroughly affect the Spirit Master's mind.
This is also why those evil Spirit Masters with extremely strong spirit power all became lunatics.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao took out the Trial Sword and began to observe it; this was the only spirit tool Huo Yuhao had found that could change the Spirit core.
Based on the various abilities of Ma Xiaotao's mutated Spirit in the original timeline, and comparing them with Ma Xiaotao's current Spirit, Huo Yuhao had a rough inference.
The Trial Sword had the ability to completely activate a semi-awakened Spirit structure, but it was limited to Spirit structures that absorbed energy and dark energy.
After specifically analyzing the spirit tool core and operating mode of the Trial Sword with his divine sense, Huo Yuhao parsed out parts of the lighting structure module.
However, after experimenting with this module on the elders, he found that the lighting degree of the Spirit core barely increased.
Its growth rate was only about zero point something percent, and after increasing five or six times, it lost its amplification ability.
But this module indeed gave Huo Yuhao great inspiration; as long as he continued to research and develop this module, he would have the opportunity to completely master the ability to increase the lighting degree of the Spirit core.
Therefore, Spirit mutation is actually very easy to understand; it's simply a certain high-grade or top-tier Spirit lighting up a completely different position from other Spirits of the same type.
The so-called positive mutation and inverse mutation are also caused by this reason; if there's an opportunity, it would be good to study Spirit mutation and Spirit inheritance more.
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao suddenly became extremely interested in the Blue Silver Emperor in the Sun Moon Empire and the Immortal Herb from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The Blue Silver Emperor's core also possessed the ability to awaken the Blue Silver Grass's Spirit core, making it a very important research material.
If he could thoroughly understand the composition of these types of energies, and then supplement them with modules that enhance the lit parts, perhaps he could fully light up all types of Spirit cores.
With Xiao Jin's help, Tang Ya's Spirit advanced to the Golden Blue Silver Grass, and its core also underwent a change.
The Blue Silver Emperor's Spirit core completely transformed into a brand new structure, and its lighting degree also reached an extremely high level of 90%.
When Huo Yuhao asked Xiao Jin how she changed Tang Ya's Spirit, Xiao Jin's response was very puzzling.
"Yuhao, I just added a part of my own core into the broken core, and I don't know about the rest."
This suddenly gave Huo Yuhao a feeling of performing Spirit surgery, but this situation would probably be very difficult to replicate.
The reason Tang Ya's Spirit core could recover was that Huo Yuhao used Destiny Power to forcibly modify causality, consuming a large amount of life force.
For a normal Spirit Master to repair a broken Spirit core would be as difficult as ascending to heaven; after all, Huo Yuhao himself didn't know how to repair that thing.
After lamenting once more about the omnipotent Destiny Power, Huo Yuhao handed these comprehensive detectors to the elders.
It would be impossible to miss a talented person in the new batch of freshmen; with a large amount of data for comparison, Huo Yuhao's understanding of Spirits would become even more profound.
