Chapter 1040 - 454: Precondition

What is the prerequisite?

It’s simple, it’s the means to solve Chu Xiu’s current predicament.

He dares not release even his Divine Thought now, so even if he creates a Perfect Cultivation Technique, how will he cultivate?

The premise for any speculated practice in the future all depends on whether he can control the nebula’s gravitational pull.

To devise a method specifically for this, it’s essential to first understand the formation principles and specific structure of the nebula. It’s like any research paper must have a guiding ideology; without understanding the principles of nebula formation, any creation based on it is just a fanciful imagination.

So in the past, Chu Xiu has been browsing records and studies on spatial knowledge, Pill Formation principles, and gravity generation.

It’s fortunate that the Inheritance Hall has everything, and it really provided him with a realistic hypothesis.

"Although the Awakening Space appears to provide gravitational-like pulling force, the principle must not be related to gravity, and is more likely due to its special spatial nature."

"The contact between two spaces of different curvatures does indeed produce an effect similar to gravity at the contact point."

"If the Awakening Space is a Special Space with a different curvature than the current world, then it makes sense."

And this attractive force formed by contact of different curvatures is extremely similar in principle to another common phenomenon, which is——

Vortex!

A vortex’s attraction is produced by the pressure difference of internal and external water currents. Chu Xiu suspects the nebula core has a similar structure, only because the Awakening Space is at a higher dimension, the center looks chaotic, unlike a vortex with a definite form.

But if the principle is similar, perhaps a method to reduce the gravity-like force could be devised.

"One of the key factors for stable vortex formation is having a balanced structure. If a local obstacle is encountered, it’s easy for the structure to be destroyed or for the overall energy to significantly reduce."

By carefully observing stream water, you can often see small vortices that suddenly appear and disappear; the reasons for these vortices’ formation are complex, but it’s very simple to make them disappear, just place a stone at the bottom of the stream where they pass through."

Chu Xiu thinks that by projecting obstacles into the nebula, it might interfere with its internal structure, thereby further weakening the attraction.

Of course, it’s not something he just thought of impulsively, Chu Xiu is not that smart.

Not to mention how he would achieve this, just placing the obstacles, where they should be placed, and how they should be condensed is a headache-inducing unsolvable problem for him.

Fluid problems typically don’t have an analytical solution; even with modern Technology studying similar problems relies on computer simulations or wind tunnel tests with brute force, methods that Chu Xiu currently doesn’t have the experimental conditions for.

In reality, this idea came from a cultivation technique created by a powerful senior, a curious thing indeed, this was in fact a book on Array, which records several arrays created with space curvature in the breaking arrays section, along with related breakthrough techniques.

He didn’t have the ability to create a new Cultivation Technique from scratch, but with the wisdom of predecessors he could make modifications; it’s like making a 3A blockbuster from scratch usually requires a team of hundreds, but simply modifying model data could be done by any mod maker with a bit of experience.

With his mind made up, Chu Xiu began consuming Cause and Effect Points to simulate.

He hurried because the nebula still contains the Power he had absorbed, with the spiritual imprint not totally erased yet. If he quickly creates the cultivation method and connects with those internal Spiritual Powers, they can form obstacles with twice the effort for half the Effect.

But he must not delay, because over time, these powers will gradually be assimilated by the nebula.

As the Cause and Effect Points begin to burn, Chu Xiu’s consciousness seems to enter a "flow" state, he becomes like a high-speed calculating device, with no other thoughts besides calculation.

In a mere five hours, Chu Xiu burns through three hundred thousand Cause and Effect Points, and when the Points stop burning, a cultivation technique enters his mind.

Rather than calling it a cultivation technique, "technique" would be more appropriate, it’s a method to change the form of Spiritual Power, used to Breakthrough "space vortex", largely similar to what’s recorded in the breaking arrays section by that great predecessor, just more suitable for the current scenario.

"This is it."

Chu Xiu takes a deep breath, under the control of the Fighting Spirit, his Divine Thought suddenly pierces outward, like countless steel needles rushing toward the nebula!

Almost instantly, his Divine Thought is captured by the nebula, a huge attractive force emerges, seemingly about to devour his Soul!

Yet Chu Xiu is not frightened but pleased, for he feels his otherwise linear-progressing Divine Thought has been twisted and spun, moving in an internal circling manner, signifying his hypothesis was correct, the nebula indeed has a vortex-like structure.

As a strand of Divine Thought is absorbed, the information from the end briefly flashes in Chu Xiu’s mind, giving him a clearer understanding of the nebula’s structure; in the center, it’s the original Star Core and Divine Power mixture, absolutely inaccessible Chaos Domain, but on the periphery there is a disk-like rotating structure, this is the second tier of power, his Spiritual Power that was previously devoured resides here!
