The problem with all the ideas that initially popped up in my head could all be centralized to just one factor.
Complexity.
Inherently, the process of core establishnt within one's body stood in direct opposition to the concept of founding it. After all, while one aid to condense all of one's energy into a singularity, the other advocated the growth of the range of its influence.
It was one thing to have a spiritual core and another to be able to put them to effective use.
As such, destabilizing the core seed necessary to achieve this, even if it went against the idea of total concentration of one's power.
The problem was, that this was already a process that required quite the focus, as it went directly against the nature of the stage the two of us were in. As a result, there was extrely limited room for further aspects for one to pay attention to.
That's why, the solution couldn't be anything complex… but in essence, that was all there was to it.
This sa problem plagued all the solutions I initially ca up with due to just how much maintenance and complex arraying they required. A task quite like the idea of fully morizing a complicated blueprint as one went about drawing it in their thoughts in the first place!
'It has to be sothing simple. And figuring out the places for this energy to go…'
Stuck in my own world, I couldn't think of anything else but the puzzle before .
'Is it just a habit I developed when I sharpened all of my attention before every strike?' I thought, distracting myself for but a mont.
A process that resulted in my mind taking but a montary breather from its task as it focused on sothing else.
A short-term rest that instantly resulted in a proper idea.
'What if I just make end-points all over my body, so that the chaotic energy from my destabilized core would always have a huge array of equally attractive points that it could discharge to at random?'
I gulped my saliva down as the sense of sothing great lood in the back of my brain.
I wasn't there to fully figure it out yet. Still, sohow, I could tell that I was on the right track!
Either way, even if this montary feeling implied there was much more to this topic than what I noticed, for now, I was more than happy with the current range of my discovery.
'Just by raising the number of the outputs from the core to a certain level, the random chance any of those points would have for the core to discharge into it would make it so that my entire body would have constant access to the energy of my core?'
It was all about simple math.
If one imagined the problem with the core as a center of the plasma ball, then a single point of discharge would be akin to putting one finger to the ball's outer surface, leading to the creation of the arc discharging currents between the two, short-ended points.
A circuit carved out by nature's energy through the usually non-conductive air.
In terms of cultivation, however, I could simply destabilize my core in a way that would make it spill tiny amounts of its energy at extrely high frequency. And by just increasing the numbers of pulses in a unit of fra…'
My whole body tensed up…
Allowing to realize that in the process of this potentially useless and outright wrong self-discovery of cultivation, I sohow brought my hand to my chin and rubbed it a little as I completely removed myself from reality to imrse myself in the problem.
A state extrely similar to when I cultivated, just this ti… It felt a whole lot more… matter-of-fact? As if it was rely a part of my nature rather than the brutal interference of so power hiding within my Qi.
'Maybe this feeling changed because I've apparently reached the rank of Core foundation myself?'
I had nothing beyond Claire's word for it… And my own feeling.
The world itself now felt… just every-so-slightly richer, more vibrant, as if it regained a bit of its essence.
Still, as amazing as it was, I had a potentially groundbreaking discovery to complete and share with Claire, didn't I?
"Hey…"
Despite paying absolutely no attention to the world around for quite so ti… I spoke out while pushing my eyelids open.
This mont was way too important for to think about the risk of seeing Claire in the pajama-like outfit.
'No matter how adorable she is, this is potentially too big for to care…!' I thought, fully aware of the one aspect of cultivation that Claire have yet to ntion.
The reason why, with every cultivation era, the entire concept behind it changed. After all, during both the mystical and restoration eras, all the cultivators ever wanted was to either find a perfect path to cultivate or perfect the ans they already had to do it. All in a bid to make the results more consistent.
In a sense, one could consider each step on the path of cultivation to be a certain modifier, multiplying certain aspects of one's being. It could be strength, perception, agility, and, quite frankly, any combination of those and many other aspects.
But this modifier had a range.
If soone perfectly mastered the first three ranks of their cultivation, they would be in an extrely different spot to those who just breezed through it. Which, in turn, was another reason why cultivation usually took such an extensive amount of pain and effort!
For why would anyone, in their pursuit of greatness, intentionally cut down on their future potential in a bid to grow stronger… faster?
But, regardless if it was mystical or restoration age, cultivators always ran into the wall… The very wall that science aid to eliminate.
For while cultivation operated on the basis of feelings, mysticism, spirit, and consciousness, all ambiguous concepts…
Science was all about thods, numbers, and a proven track record of different causalities.
If one smashed a glass against a rock a thousand tis and it always smashed, then the thousandth and first piece of glass was likely to shatter on a rock as well. You need to put ten smaller weights to balance a single, ten-tis heavier one.
And right now, I found a way to use simple math along with extrely simplistic ntal construction… to ensure the mathematically best possible outco for establishing the power of my core all over my body!
For if the number of pulses in a unit of ti was high enough, the statistical error of misdistribution of the Qi discharging to a random end-point could be forcefully brought to such minuscule levels, they effectively didn't exist, just like so math functions always grew nearer to specific solutions never to fully reach them irregardless of the argunt used to calculate the result.
"Hey, what!" Claire shouted right in my face, forcing right out of the mindhole I promptly fell into as soon as I raised my voice a while ago.
"What's going on?!" Claire shouted, her face flushed with panic and worry.
'Oh right, I was sitting in silence for god knows how long…' I realized, shaking my head to let the girl calm down a little… Only to reach out and grab for her hand, stopping her from retreating now that she could calm down seeing how I returned to my senses.
"Is it just or did you ntion that all you need to advance now is enlightennt?" I asked, despite not even knowing how those words appeared on my lips.
It was all my instinct, all just a random feeling that felt too… natural and matter-of-fact for to ignore.
"Huh?" Claire shook, her eyes turning wide. "When did I ntion those…?!"
Her shock was far greater than what I expected. For even if it was just a hunch of mine… Why was she so surprised right now?
Was it because I used those words?
Was there so sort of greater aning behind them?
"Actually, I want to try sothing out," I revealed, tightening my grasp on her hand while making sure not to cause her any actual pain… All the while ignoring the beauty of this flustered girl standing right in front of in just so loose, fluffy, pajamas-like loungewear
"Huh?"
Still shocked, taken aback, and suddenly out of breath, Claire tried to take a step back, only for to pull back on her hand, causing her to fall right back and then rest lightly against my chest.
Claire didn't wait even a second to use this opportunity to hide her face in my chest, where my eyes couldn't reach.
"I an, you can stop it at any point you want, any point you feel it is wrong or dangerous…"
I lowered my eyes and took a deep breath before raising them back just a little and prompting Claire's chin up with my hand to make her look back right into my eyes.
"But would you be willing to trust for just a mont?"
