"This humble researcher is willing to listen." Lei responded with bright eyes. "Though, Leader Sacharro, if you took up researching yourself… I believe you'd find more success alone than we ever could."

Dyon smiled lightly. "I appreciate the kind words, but I don't believe myself to be so infallible. A good ruler should trust the talents around him, and I believe in your talent."​​

Lei subconsciously felt a welling of pride. Maybe if Dyon asked her right now, she'd gladly run through a brick wall for him.

"My idea won't deviate your path too much. In fact, I believe it will only improve upon it further… Make it more perfect, if you will."

Dyon's spatial ring flashed, revealing two sentinels standing at just over 20 meters tall. They shimmered with moon and star jades, glistening in black, silver and gold as it released the oppressive auras of a Higher Dao Expert.

This was none other than the puppet that once guarded the Elvin Tombs. Though Dyon had grown too powerful to need it any longer, he would never forget how many dangerous situations these two guys had gotten him out of. Though they were inanimate, he still felt a sentimental attachment to them.

Lei's eyes shone. "What exquisite battle puppets…"

"Do you see what's special with them?"

"This Lei has spent the last few years researching battle puppets of all kinds. I do have to thank Leader Sacharro for showing me those segments of the [Dao of Array Alchemy]. I was raised to believe that alchemy and formation theory should always be kept separate, I couldn't believe that they had such a profound effect when fused together as one…

"It's thanks to Leader Sacharro that my eyes have gotten much better at such things. These puppets are among a rare collective that are able to gather energy from the atmosphere and 'cultivate' themselves. It also seems that they've been fused with Moon and Star Jade, making this energy gathering process hundreds of times faster than normal.

"In just another few months, they'll break into the peak dao realm and continue upward before final reaching the very peak of the dao realm. Excellent puppets! Even without the control of an expert, their strength should only fall by one minor stage. That's unbelievable."

Research Lei looked up toward Dyon. "Does Leader Sacharro want me to make more puppets like these? Truthfully speaking, the potential of my current projects are even beyond this. Though these sentinels can display peak dao formation realm prowess, it's only the equivalent of a third grade expert. If all goes well, my battle puppets will be able to match second grade experts at the worst, and Ordered experts at best."

Dyon shook his head. "I only brought these puppets out as a… proof of concept, let's say. What I want Research Lei to do is recreate puppets capable of cultivating."

Researcher Lei blinked in confusion, not knowing what Dyon meant.

"Researcher Lei… What would you say the most difficult part of cultivation is?"

"… Comprehension?" After thinking for a bit, Lei answered with this.

Though gathering qi and diligently cultivating was hard, there was nothing more difficult than comprehension. There was a reason why comprehension Wills, Intents and Daos provided such a massive boost to one's individual prowess.

"And what would you say hinders that the most?"

Researcher Lei's frown deepened. "Often times, even if your comprehension is high, it's impossible to sustain this comprehension without a stronger body, so one must cultivate. But, cultivation is slow and is impacted by numerous bottlenecks.

"Some have poor meridian talent, some don't have qi rich environments to practice in, some don't have cultivation techniques suitable for themselves… The problems are endless."

Dyon's smile deepened. "Now, what would you say if someone was capable of eliminating many of those weaknesses for you? Even if they couldn't improve your poor talent, what if they could provide you a cultivation rich environment? What if they could pick the perfect technique for you?"

Researcher Lei's confusion was instantly washed away with shock.

"What I want you to create is a hive mind capable of restructuring any and everyone's body into a battle puppet. I then want the hive mind to be capable of cross referencing every technique stored away within the Mortal Library before setting an optimal path for this cultivator.

"What do you think?"

Researcher Lei trembled. "You mean using a battle puppet to simulate the potential paths a human could take… Then figuring out in advance whether said path is of detriment or not… Laying the best path out for a cultivator even before they take a single step down the road of cultivation…"

If Lei's heartbeat didn't quicken, could she even call herself a researcher? This was… Unprecedented!

Dyon's goal was clear. He had no idea if there was a better method of cultivating for those with his body type or not, and he would definitely never use his daughter for such an experiment.

That was when he realized something. In his mortal world, didn't they allow computers to handle anything too dangerous for real humans? Why not bring such a philosophy here?

Maybe if enough techniques were compiled into the hive mind's database, it would become capable of forming new cultivation techniques from scratch, perfectly tailored to an individual!
