"That stuff about opening up an entirely independent space inside your own body and slowly expanding it to form a landmass, a planet and star is pretty interesting."
This was mostly a body cultivation method, much to Ves' surprise. While it contained a lot of elements of qi cultivation as well, the main purpose was to strengthen a human body so that it could ultimately harness the power of an entire internal universe!
This was a cultivation method with extreme resource requirements, but also possessed an extremely high upper boundary.
There was no theoretical end to this cultivation method. A practitioner could form an internal star system, galaxy or even an entire universe as long as he was able to absorb enough resources!
Of course, Ves had no intentions to practice this stupid body cultivation method, but he became inspired by many of its processes, theories, techniques and possibilities.
What if Blinky formed his own internal space through cultivation?
What if Blinky absorbed Messier 87's practically limitless supply of E energy radiation to continually expand the volume of this internal space?
What if Blinky converted the absorbed energies into a rich variety of stars and planets that contained a huge amount of different resources?
It would be like having a galaxy like the Red Ocean or the Milky Way all for himself!
His breath grew hotter as he became engrossed by all of the possibilities.
Not only would Blinky be able to leverage the power of his own little universe, but he would also be able to grant Ves all of the resources he needed to construct his ultimate works!
Of course, there were two huge problems with this ambitious plan.
The first was that body cultivation methods were invalid for pure energy-based life forms.
The second was that Blinky was only able to convert ambient spiritual energy into other forms of spiritual energy.
Ves did not let these limitations stop him from pursuing this approach.
His response to them was simple.
"Let's start with keeping it virtual for the time being." He determined. "Blinky already excels at working with spiritual energy, so I need to maximize that advantage."
If Ves let go of the demand to produce real physical materials, then the proposed cultivation method became a lot more viable!
Instead of forcing Blinky to form a material universe inside his internal space, Ves would make his companion spirit form an imaginary universe.
It would consist solely of spiritual energy absorbed from the environment.
In fact, Blinky did not even have to process and digest E energy radiation in order to use it as the building blocks for his imaginary universe! He could directly devour the ambient spiritual energy in the environment and automatically have it fall into the appropriate places!
For example, an imaginary star could be made up of spiritual energies attributed towards fire, stars, heat, light and many other related elements.
An imaginary planet would largely be made from earth, rock, metal and mass.
Blinky could even selectively seed the imaginary planets with life by injecting them with life-attributed spiritual energy.
Perhaps his companion spirit might be able to create entire ecosystems and civilizations of intelligent imaginary life forms!
This was not the end.
While Ves expected this ambitious cultivation method to remain entirely virtual at the pre-divinity stage, it was a different story once it entered the post-divinity stage.
Once Blinky evolved into a True God, he would have the option of gradually transforming his entire internal universe into a material universe!
After all, the conversion of energy to matter was an inherent capability of every True God.
While it was impossible for this incredibly energy hungry conversion process to transform an entire imaginary universe into a real one in a single instance, it should be more than sufficient to produce enough physical materials to meet Ves' daily needs!
"This is crazy!"
If Ves did not obtain the teachings of his mother, then he would have never dared to come up with such an insane-sounding cultivation method!
Yet all of the theory he learned so far told him that it was absolutely viable as long as he configured the cultivation method correctly!
The conditions were harsh. Not only did the practitioner need to possess a highly effective energy absorption ability, but it also demanded an incredibly energy rich environment.
Ves predicted that it would ultimately not be enough for him to remain in the Red Ocean anymore.
If he wanted to meet his companion spirit's exponentially growing energy needs at the later stages and especially the post-divinity stage, then he needed to relocate to Messier 87 sooner or later!
Otherwise, Blinky would never be able to absorb the humongous amounts of energy needed to convert
"This is fine."
Ves possessed enough confidence in his ability to be able to navigate this gigantic and incredible galaxy in the future. He just needed to advance to Star Designer and build an incredibly powerful fleet and mech force to accompany him in this epic journey.
"This is true Spiritual Ascension!"
