Vaguely, I feel my consciousness floating.
I cant sense anything from my body, but I can tell its rebuilding.
Dust
My body and cultivator soul were turned into dust.
The latter, more surprising than the forr. My ability gained from all those decapitations by Ao Jin had a permanent effect on . I can be aware, even after being in a death state.
With my upgraded cultivation and tied into my healing abilities, the ability must have been multiplied. Giving a pseudo nascent soul presence.
Not that I can move. But I can just use my soul-bound abilities outside of cultivation. Even with my cultivation and body technically destroyed, my cultivation techniques are still working in the background.
Huh, is it pulling directly from the sub-dinsion? In the first place, cultivation is based out of the cultivator soul and body. So, how is working?
Luckily, my scan tells everything I need to know.
Or maybe not.
All I can really gather is that there are aspects of the cultivation thod that go beyond just the normal body and soul interaction. At least, this occurs when the comprehension of the abilities reaches a certain point.
And with how I received the technique, it was a perfect comprehension. Even if I still have to work through it step by step.
well. I assud a lesser version of this might happen, so its not a total shock. I am surprised about the jade tablet, though.
I didnt expect to not even catch a small bit of the data within it. To think the information on it is so dense that I couldnt even co close to reading it. Blowing away just from a whiff of the residual concepts leaking out.
If the information I received from my cultivation thod is a good reference; a lot of it must be the experiences and conceptual aspects that you would learn over ti with the technique/thod.
Its likely that a failed one, like the whiff I received, has all the logs and experiences of failures that were tried to make it work. After all, a sect usually isnt willing to just give up on a potential new thod. Theyll try several things before giving it up.
So, a failed technique could have over 10 tis the data a normal one would have because of this.
As my thoughts continue to run, I realize that its only been 15 minutes since Ive been blown up.
My body is currently a pulsating, growing blob of viscera, muscle, and bones. Luckily for my clothes, before I popped, I stuffed my clothes in my space bracelet. The disposable clothes? Disintegrated.
The looks of horror and disgust on the elders faces are quite interesting to behold. I must seem like so sort of eldritch monster to them.
I should take around just under an hour to regrow completely. The amount of ti is undoubtedly better than when I was sliced into at chunks by ili, the assassin.
That was likely around 3 hours.
And with each ti this happens, I expect it to get shorter and shorter.
Whats most curious is that my healing seems to be an opportunistic regeneration style. If the pieces are nearby, it will use that. Otherwise, it creates a new part, while leaving the old wherever it is.
Leading to the earlier tis with Ao Jin, of my disembodied heads with a new one regrowing.
Well.
All thats left now is to wait.
About 40ish minutes in, once my brain, dantians, and ridians have regrown, I dont wait to let the skin form. I move my body toward the slip again.
This is still quite painful, but luckily my healing is already working and cancels out so of the pain.
Having everything I need; I just imdiately extend another strand of qi to the jade tablet in front of .
Wait, no!
POP.
I can just hear Sister Nuan yell out as she realizes what Im doing. But its too late by that point and Ive already popped.
Each of the elders look sickened and Nuan actually turns away for a mont, seemingly in nausea.
Now that I think of it, showing a person close to and that actually is romantically interested in , my death and sickening rebuild is probably a bad idea. Im sure the first death must have shaken her pretty badly, even if she knew it was coming.
I guess it is just common sense.
probably should have a scan for that.
Which still doesnt change what I need to do.
I keep reaching out to the tablet whenever I regenerate enough to do so. With the ti to regenerate, dropping with each pop. Going from 40 minutes to being able to reach out, down to 15 minutes. All within 3 hours.
Thats when a qualitative change happens in my regeneration and what I can see on the tablet.
This last ti, I could just barely get a piece of information. A small packet of information on an equally small fire technique, from a complete failure of a thod.
But its sothing.
And my death changes, as well.
Instead of blood dust, a small chunk of bone remains.
so, I continue.
Each ti getting more information. With the amount increasing exponentially with each new regeneration.
Within the next hour, Im finally at five-minute regenerations, with chunks of flesh and bone violently impacting the walls of the barrier. This is the aspect I was concerned about earlier, as my body is essentially exploding outwards. A small pile of viscera, at, and bone form a small, sticky film on the surface of the barrier.
Im about halfway through the jade tablet and all the elders just have a grim face at the developnts.
Theyve been watching closely to understand how my body works and regenerates. An excellent opportunity to understand the limits of the constitution.
That it can regenerate the cultivator soul is definitely the most shocking thing for them.
On my side, it seems my ability to reference information in my mind is both better and worse. Better in the sense that I have more thoughts and information to access. Worse, in the sense that there are conflicts in the information I have and too much data on hand.
This whole ti, as part of my training, Ive been trying to absorb the whole jade slip at once. Adding to my mory, then overwriting it afterwards, every ti. All so that I will have space in my brain for other actions.
This is the downside of having a data dump. Just because its information doesnt an its true. It also takes ti to go through it all.
Once I finish, the final step will be to put it all together.
which will have its own risks, as Im essentially generating even more information than the original, as the true file. The process of doing so should increase the speed of my thoughts, as my mind will struggle to keep up with all the changes. Giving the opportunity to improve further.
If everything goes well, this will reduce or eliminate so downsides of this whole thing. While giving the ability to better handle more information in the future.
It doesnt take much longer before I reach the point that I can just tank the whole thing. Now down to 30 second regenerations.
I reach out to the jade slip one more ti, as a skinless being.
I feel my entire being shudder, with two jade slips worth of information in my brain. I instantly start using my scan to process it. Not letting my body rest, as I continue to heal myself.
Blood pours from my every orifice but I hold on. It seems the countless regenerations have made my body hardy against acquiring excessive data.
My skin continues to rebuild as I go through every piece of information. Sorting, correcting, and finally, rging into a workable form. One that can be manipulated into any form I need.
The final piece is actually the easiest, as everything is there for to change as needed. My mind now spry enough to handle the dense information.
Just as that piece is put into place, I create my first work from it.
The Omnibus Cultivation System, or OCS for short.
