The Peerless Tang Sect: Heavenly Heart Douluo

As the discussion ended, the Temple Master of the Mage Temple quickly assigned a large number of tasks, and the temple elders and prospective temple members immediately became busy. At the same time, he himself went to find Yu Kong.

Yu Kong had already returned to his residence, a private courtyard specially set up for him by the Temple Master of the Mage Temple, which was extremely rare even within the Mage Temple.

Meanwhile, boxes of materials and resources were being continuously transported into Yu Kong's courtyard.

Seeing this, the Temple Master of the Mage Temple was speechless: "Yu Kong, kid, can you even use all these resources at once? Can't you bring them in batches?"

Yu Kong shook his head and said calmly, "It's still too little. This isn't enough; it's barely enough to build a framework."

"So what are you researching? You're not planning to use these rare metals to build houses, are you?" the Temple Master of the Mage Temple asked helplessly.

Seeing that Yu Kong remained silent, the Temple Master of the Mage Temple was taken aback. Could it be that his casual remark had come true? "??? Say something! No, you really want to use these rare metals to build houses?"

"More or less. Anyway, old man, don't worry about it. What exactly are you doing here?"

Getting back to the point, the Temple Master of the Mage Temple stopped rambling and said directly, "Naturally, I've come to discuss with you, the originator of this new magical theory, what to do next."

Therefore, the Temple Master of the Mage Temple told Yu Kong all the resolutions of the Mage Temple meeting and the actions to be taken next.

"Yu Kong, what do you think?" the Temple Master of the Mage Temple asked with a hint of anticipation.

At this moment, he hoped that Yu Kong, the proposer of this new magic theory, could provide some new directions.

After all, the research on new magic theories is like crossing a river by feeling for stones for all magicians. Only Yu Kong, the founder, has a vision that surpasses that of all other magicians. If one person is to lead the new magic to avoid going astray, then...

That person could only be Yu Kong.

"No problem, this is my magic theory," Yu Kong replied casually. "A lot of accumulation, repeated combination and decomposition, to find the most suitable spell structure and spell combination, and finally put it into application."

"A lot of time and effort is necessary in the early stages; if you take shortcuts or crooked methods, you will only get worse and worse."

"Alright, old man, if you have nothing else to say, then you should leave now. I'll come find you again after I finish my research here."

Seeing Yu Kong refuse to see guests without any politeness, the Temple Master of the Mage Temple sighed helplessly. Yu Kong was good in every way—aptitude, talent, and wisdom—but he was like a blank sheet of paper when it came to interpersonal communication.

The Temple Master of the Magician's Temple could tell that it wasn't that Yu Kong couldn't do it, but simply that Yu Kong was too lazy to do it.

After seeing off the Temple Master of the Mage Temple, Yu Kong nodded as he looked at the materials that had been delivered and laid out in the courtyard. Although the materials were not enough, they were sufficient to create a basic framework.

"Let's start with alchemy. Electrox was ruthless; he left behind only these six professions with no technical skill whatsoever. You can't even find anyone on the continent who knows alchemy anymore."

"Otherwise, if I were to become a tower spirit now, at least I could find a helper," Yu Kong thought helplessly.

"Understand, decompose, and reconstruct. When the original body sent me here, it compressed most of its memories into my divine consciousness, so I can examine Di Ya's memories."

"Found it! The equation for transforming ordinary metals into special alloys with magical superconductivity and self-healing properties by repeatedly reconfiguring and adjusting their metal arrangement and elemental patterns."

Yu Kong spent three whole days using alchemy combined with the equations for metal control from Di Ya's memories to refine all the transported metal materials into a special alloy with magical superconductivity and self-repairing properties.

Looking at the drastically reduced metal and the messy byproducts of the refining process, Yu Kong shook his head helplessly. In fact, according to the philosophy of alchemy, as long as it is continuously transformed, even soil and stone can eventually be transformed into the desired result.

However, alchemy emphasizes equivalent exchange: how much earth produces how much gold and other things, and how much gold can form what and what.

If only clay were used for the process, the courtyard would likely be filled with mountains of byproducts in addition to the finished product.

"The first step is finally complete. The second step is to establish the structure, and then inscribe runes and patterns."

Thinking this, a large number of special alloys 'floated' up and then joined together. This was Yu Kong's application of spatial power, directly and flawlessly splicing these metals into the shape he needed by aligning spatial coordinates.

Then, accompanied by spatial fluctuations, runes and patterns that appeared naturally, without any trace of artificial carving, appeared on this perfect circular structure.

Inside and out, even the interior of the metal, it was constantly being hollowed out and filled with spiritual power and magic from the universe.

This process took Yu Kong three days.

At this moment, Yu Kong's spiritual power was still sufficient due to the existence of his divine sense, but even with the physique of a child of space, he could not withstand the magical power in his body.

"My spiritual energy has been depleted too much. There's nothing I can do but recover first. My current spiritual energy is still too low, making everything inconvenient."

Once he had readjusted himself to his optimal state, Yu Kong began to channel his magic and spiritual power into the massive metal structure before him.

With his spiritual power as a sixth-tier mage, he could only complete one percent of the progress each time.

"Yes, it'll be quick. This process should take about ten days. Once the first sealing is complete, the construct can directly absorb elemental energy from heaven and earth and convert it into spiritual power to sustain itself."

"But the first time won't work. It needs to be thoroughly imbued with mental and spiritual power to ensure it won't be turned or influenced by others."

Ten days passed in this way, and the once shiny metal structure was now completely different, even becoming slightly translucent, with magical light flowing inside.

"It's complete. The semi-energy structure is finished. Now it's time to activate the core magic array and get it running."

With his eyes closed, Yu Kong separated a wisp of his divine consciousness and entered the interior of the metal structure.

The integration of divine consciousness was exceptionally smooth. Due to the presence of Yu Kong's spiritual power and spiritual energy, even though the body structures were different, this metal structure was a 100% compatible shell for Yu Kong's divine consciousness.

As divine consciousness entered, the structure of the entire metal construct began to change rapidly.

Circles, rectangles, and polyhedral shapes.

The rapid changes were accompanied by a burst of magical light, which eventually stabilized, and the form of the metal construct in front of them finally became stable.

It transformed into a table, and at the same time, a huge light screen appeared on the table.

The document contains detailed records of every spell that Yu Kong has fully mastered. With the control of his consciousness, these spells will quickly assemble and deduce new magical structures, while simultaneously proving the rationality of their structures and demonstrating their expected effects.

"Phew, finally finished. The rudimentary form of the tower spirit, while possessing a certain level of intelligence, its spell-deduction speed is currently only at the level of an ordinary sixth-tier mage, far slower than my speed using divine sense."

"However, as long as it is fed with a large amount of resources and magical structures later, its intelligence and deduction speed will also increase significantly."

"Alright, with this, I can directly use the research from the Mage's Temple for my own purposes."

"As for your name, let's just call you Tower Spirit One. I'm too lazy to come up with a special name."

This tower spirit uses Yu Kong's personality, so naturally it won't have any dissatisfaction.

Then Yu Kong found a spirit crystal that was already covered in dust in his courtyard.

Seeing this thing gave Yu Kong a headache. 'Such a good thing, only using it as a communication device, what a damn waste! It would be so much better if I used it as a tower spirit. I wouldn't even have to spend time on it; I could just give it a basic intelligence boost and use it immediately.'

This thing is called Spirit Crystal Online. Its main body is a divine artifact, and its function is to cover every corner of the Holy Demon Continent with signals.

The Sub-Spirit Crystal can be held by others, and information can be exchanged instantly through the artifact itself. Of course, its true function is not as simple as just a mobile phone.

Only those unambitious primitives of the Holy Demon Continent would squander such a divine artifact.

Yu Kong rarely uses this thing and always feels it's a waste whenever he sees it, but he had no choice but to take it out in order to contact the Temple Master of the Mage Temple.

"Old man, come here for a moment. I've finished my research here, and I have some good news and some bad news to tell you."

The Temple Master of the Mage Temple didn't ask Yu Kong to explain further. After all, he knew the kid well; if it wasn't something very important, he wouldn't bother coming to him at all.

Before long, the Temple Master of the Mage Temple reappeared in Yu Kong's courtyard: "You've been staying at home for more than ten days without going out. If it weren't for your life tablet being intact, I would have thought something had happened to you."

"Research takes ten days to half a month, isn't that normal?" Yu Kong said calmly. In fact, this is the norm. If it weren't for Yu Kong's divine sense, his understanding beyond this world, and Di Ya's memories, he wouldn't have been able to cheat.

To create a Tower Spirit from scratch by hand, it would be absolutely impossible without several years of trial and error and research.

The Tower Spirit Space can be said to have borrowed some of the research results of the Apocalypse Empire to create a basic version.

Even the most basic version is arguably the limit that this world can accommodate.

"Come, take a look at this." Without saying any more nonsense, Yu Kong directly demonstrated the wonders of the Tower Spirit to the Temple Master of the Mage Temple.

"This, this, this." Although it was just a very simple understanding, decomposition, and reconstruction, it only used the basic theories of alchemy and applied them to magic.

But this was enough to shock the Temple Master of the Magician's Sanctuary.

"This is a divine artifact you made? It's creating new magic?" the Temple Master of the Mage Temple said, somewhat dumbfounded.

"To be precise, it's not creation or invention, it's just discovery."

"The existence of magic is a fundamental rule of the world, just as rainwater eventually falls to the ground."

"It is only responsible for displaying the logic of this set of rules."

"I call it the Tower Spirit, Tower Spirit Number One," Yu Kong said slowly. "This is the good news I have for you. The existence of the Tower Spirit can directly help low-level mages quickly dismantle some spell structures that are already within its logical framework."

"Or we can use the existing spell structure to create spells that do not exceed its computational load and power, and deduce its actual effects and casting conditions."

Upon hearing this, the Temple Master of the Mage Temple swallowed hard, his eyes filled with fervor for the tower spirit, whose main body was not large, only the size of a table.

"Yu Kong, you really know how to surprise me. Since I met you, I've been surprised by you countless times. With the tower spirit you created, the biggest problem that originally limited the new magic to its initial stage has been solved."

"So what's the bad news you mentioned?"

Yu Kong said calmly, "The bad news is that my knowledge base is insufficient."

"The 35,321 different level-one spell structures that I understand and have mastered have been imported into the tower spirit, and its current computational workload is only equivalent to that of an ordinary sixth-tier mage."

"Old man, do you understand what this means?"

Upon hearing this, the Temple Master of the Mage Temple frowned. He had a vague feeling about it, but he couldn't be sure.

"That is because the Tower Spirit's computing power is too far from the actual magical structure it has mastered."

"Based on the current situation, an ordinary sixth-tier mage will be proficient in no more than ten sixth-tier specialized spells, while other types of sixth-tier spells will not exceed five."

"Aside from these, almost every class of mage learns according to this requirement, because fifteen spells are more than enough to get through the current stage."

"A typical sixth-tier mage can only break down a maximum of 13,095 first-tier spell models from their spells, including a large number of duplicate spell structures."

"In reality, the number won't even exceed five thousand."

"The Tower Spirit currently needs 35,321 first-order spell structures to reach the level of a sixth-order mage."

Upon hearing this, the Temple Master of the Mage Temple finally understood: "So you mean that the Tower Spirit needs a huge number of people to build its knowledge base, or to invest computing power through other methods, in order to make it practically usable."

"Indeed, if I cannot achieve this, the Tower Spirit's rank will be inextricably linked to mine. When I reach the sixth rank, he will be able to master all my sixth-rank magical knowledge and innovate upon it, but he will be unable to go any higher and extend it to the entire Mage Temple."
