Acquired the ’qualities for cultivation’.
In the open class, the teacher is teaching children under ten years old, at most, those just over ten, the ’simple methods and techniques for soul carving’.
This technique was discovered jointly by two Spirit Energy Users named Loran and Miles, hence named the ’Loren-Miles Principle’.
As long as you learn this technique, follow a fixed sequence of breathing and voicing, and clear your mind with a sequence of clearly related images, even the dullest fool can mobilize their soul power to carve their soul.
Of course, besides this, there are other methods, such as ’Divine Image Contemplation’, ’Overlimit Emotion Drive’, ’Consciousness Feigning Sleep’, ’Soul-Body Exchange Transformation’, etc. There are many methods for children to begin meditation techniques, but only the Loren-Miles Principle is the simplest and has no side effects.
Essentially, it is a miracle, a leap.
Children don’t actually need to understand the principles of the Loren-Miles Principle; they just need to learn to use it.
They don’t need to know the principles of these breathing sequences or understand these ’spells’ or know how those ’visualized images’ will impact the mind. They don’t need to know the steps that take effect, why they work, which aspects have what effects and their principles, or how to modify certain parts for different outcomes... they just need to perform the actions.
That’s a matter for higher education.
Just like the Taylor expansion, there is no need to contemplate the principles or understand the background; as long as someone teaches the ’rules and spells’, everyone can use magic-like precision to extract square roots.
Black box? Yes. This is the method Humans use to harness technology. If you cannot create a black box, allowing people to easily use sophisticated outcomes, society will never progress.
Apes spent a long time to understand that two days and two hours are, in terms of mathematical abstraction, equivalent in a certain sense. This is an intellectual leap in abstract thinking that allowed apes to become Humans.
And once they understand that under the influence of the mind, body and soul are, in some practical sense, equal, this is also a leap in soul thinking and cultivation wisdom.
"So I admire... this approach."
Adalbert sat amongst the parents, gazing at the invited mentor Ambur in front of him, an old hand in the Silverpeak Domain’s Alchemy Department, whispering to himself: "Ian, he really managed to change this world, whether it be the academy, society, or interpersonal interactions. This new education system called the academy... everything has changed."
"Today."
On the podium, Ambur raised a light blue crystal, smiling as he said: "The child who performs the best will receive a special ’Spirit Crystal’ from my hand!"
"Everyone, do your best!"
In the open class classroom, one child after another closed their eyes under Ambur’s guidance, chanting fixed words, their bodies faintly glowing.
This is the light of the soul, the beginning of meditation and cultivation, which anyone can engage in, without needing a bloodline or much wisdom (at least enough to read).
Adalbert glanced at the Spirit Crystal in Ambur’s hand, nodding slightly.
This is possibly second only to the ’Artificial Soul’ in all of his life’s research achievements.
Spirit Crystal, tangible computational power, an artificial gold vein, and a never affluent ’hard currency’ and ’consumable’.
Essentially, the Spirit Crystal is an artificial vein and sublimation resource; it can accelerate a person’s thinking ability and computational power, allowing them to better and faster complete cultivation and form a sublimation structure within their body.
No matter how much is produced, it will be continuously consumed by people. Even if one person can’t use a single Spirit Crystal in a month, forcibly using it will just fry their brains.
Providing computational power resources is one thing; whether you can approach the task, thinking and accepting information at multiple times the speed, is another matter.
However, no matter how long it lasts, it will eventually be used up. Spirit Crystals are not gold; they are consumables like food, needing constant planting and harvesting.
Therefore, Spirit Crystals cannot become the gold of Sublimators; they will be continuously consumed every year, needing to accumulate to obtain the most, just storing a batch of backup resources.
But this is precisely the result Adalbert and Ian desired.
Because only such ’Sublimator’s food’ can allow the ’Central Government’, which controls ’core computational power’, to have control over ’Civilian Sublimators’.
Sublimators do not need ordinary people’s food; they don’t even need ordinary people’s resources. Sublimators and ordinary people belong to two worlds.
But Spirit Crystals, as a supercomputing production product similar to the ’Heart of Terra’, can indeed be created by the ordinary—particularly in this era, ordinary people also refer to potential Sublimators not yet at the First Energy Level.
Maintenance, assistance, production, regulation... the existence of the Heart of Terra inevitably requires a population-rich super government and a stable society to continuously and stably produce Spirit Crystals.
Sublimators need Spirit Crystals, and thus they need to maintain such a society. They can acquire Spirit Crystals by working, even directly receive Spirit Crystal allowances for focused cultivation in the future or pass tests to gain more Spirit Crystals.
