My brother is so cunning

Chapter 1139 One Treasure, Three Uses, Infinite Wonders
The primordial spirit is formless and intangible, and can penetrate all material barriers. Unless a magic weapon specifically designed to target the soul is used, and the magic weapon must be of the highest rank in the world, such as the "Six Soul Banner," the ultimate soul-controlling magic weapon of the Jie Sect, it is impossible to capture the primordial spirit in the blink of an eye when it escapes.

Many of the top immortals of the Jie Sect who were killed by the disciples of the Chan Sect, such as Zhao Gongming, Jin Guang Shengmu, the Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao, and Wen Zhong, were able to obtain their divine positions on the Investiture of the Gods even though they died.

Although the great battle of the Investiture of the Gods resulted in rivers of blood and countless corpses, very few immortals were truly annihilated, their bodies and souls destroyed.

This shows how difficult it is to capture the primordial spirit, and this technique is only mastered by the Jie Sect.

Wen Rui studied the Six Soul Banner for a long time, and even created a "youth version" with reduced power. In the process of studying it, he accumulated a wealth of experience in the study of the soul realm.

"The trajectory of the high-dimensional information field has been captured. Initiate the 'dark matter anchoring beam'!"

As Wen Rui's fingertip swept across the holographic interface, the dark matter interferometer of "Lock-I" instantly emitted six pale purple beams, which precisely struck the pale golden light. These were not traditional energy beams, but rather "quantum anchors" composed of "polarized dark matter particles," capable of directly coupling with the high-dimensional information clusters of the primordial spirit.

The pale golden light momentarily froze, struggling violently in the vacuum—Chi Jingzi's primordial spirit attempted to break free from the anchor, but this caused "projection disorder" in its own high-dimensional information field. The light mist changed from a streamlined shape to an irregular cluster, and some areas even experienced a brief "disappearance of three-dimensional projection." This was a quantum decoherence phenomenon caused by coupling disorder in the information cluster.

The composition of the primordial spirit is extremely complex and cannot be explained in just a few words, but Wen Rui grasped the key point: the primordial spirit, which retains the original owner's memories, consciousness, and self, must be a collection of massive amounts of information, also known as an "information cluster".

The soul cannot be observed by the naked eye in the material world. Wen Rui further deduced that this is a cluster of high-dimensional information, whose origin lies above the dimensions of the material world. The physical body in the main material world is a projection.

Based on this reasoning, Wen Rui attempted to use the newly acquired "Spatial Phase Locker" to deliver a fatal blow to the soul.

"Phase Two: Restraint and Severe Damage to the Primordial Spirit"

To completely suppress high-dimensional information clusters, Wenrui initiated "triple scientific intervention":
First, the strength of the dark matter polarization anchoring beam is enhanced, which completely solidifies the coupling sites of the primordial spirit information cluster, making it impossible to adjust the interaction frequency with dark matter particles.
Secondly, by injecting "high-frequency quantum noise" into the target region through the anchoring field, the quantum coherence within the information cluster is interfered with;
Finally, the "Dark Matter Particle Stripping Module" is activated, and electromagnetic pulses of a specific frequency are used to disperse the dark matter particle swarm around the primordial spirit, which is equivalent to severing its energy interaction carrier in three-dimensional space.

The struggle of the pale golden light mist gradually weakened: the originally stable high-dimensional information field projection began to "fragment", and some pale golden light spots detached from the main body due to quantum noise interference, and quickly decohered in the vacuum into harmless heat energy.

The core area of ​​the information cluster—a high-dimensional projection corresponding to the "consciousness module" of the primordial spirit—has changed from pale gold to gray due to the loss of support from dark matter particles.

The holographic interface shows that its "information integrity" has dropped from 100% to 23%, the stability of the core quantum state has decreased by 89%, and it can no longer maintain complete consciousness. Even the most basic "self-awareness" quantum signal has become weak.

In the terminology of the cultivation world, Chi Jingzi's primordial spirit was scattered into a wisp of remnant soul by Wen Rui.

If Wen Rui were to take out a ring-shaped magnetic metal at this moment, this cluster of discrete consciousness would be recorded by the magnetic metal atoms, essentially creating a "portable old man ring." However, Wen Rui had no time to create a cheat code for a potential underdog protagonist in the future; he immediately began the third phase of the experiment.

"Phase Three: Soul Capture and Data Acquisition"

Wen Rui manipulated the "Lock-I" to contract the dark matter polarization anchoring beam, drawing Chi Jingzi's primordial spirit back to the target debris. At the same time, he released the "Quantum Information Probe"—a type of miniature detector that can penetrate the projection layer of high-dimensional information clusters and collect key internal data, including the high-dimensional parameters of the information clusters, the coupling coefficient with dark matter particles, and the quantum encoding rules of the consciousness module.

These data are crucial for understanding the energy nature and defense mechanisms of the cultivation system, and serve as the core basis for developing targeted weapons in the future.

This is equivalent to the term "soul search" in the cultivation world, but it is more thorough. It is not about searching through memories or tracing some key clues, but about recording all the information in the soul and disassembling and sorting it out one by one.

Wen Rui possessed all the spells, supernatural powers, and secret manuals of the Jie Sect, and could even counterfeit the Six Soul Banner. His knowledge of metaphysics concerning the soul was undeniably extensive, yet he still insisted on using scientific methods to interpret the existence of metaphysics such as the primordial spirit and the soul.

The reason is simple: the Jie Sect's scriptures are also a black box technology. After learning the methods of refining supernatural powers, spells, and even magical treasures, one often only knows how but not why. Many methods can only be understood intuitively and cannot be explained in words. They cannot be organized into clear and universal techniques that even a monkey could learn.

If the supernatural powers of immortals cannot be used by the general public and are only in the hands of a very few, then they are meaningless for the advancement of the entire civilization and will ultimately become a tool for the superiors to control the oppressed.

Once the data collection was complete, Wen Rui preserved a dark matter polarization anchoring beam: "Keep your core information cluster, lest we give others grounds to say that my Jie Sect disciples are ruthless and leave no way out. It can also be used to study the differences in the primordial spirit structure of 'Golden Immortal' realm immortals. After I collect the primordial spirits of your fellow disciples and their families, it will be good for you to keep each other company in the Six Soul Banner."

The pale golden mist hovered weakly within the anchoring field, unable to actively couple with the dark matter particles. It could only passively maintain a minimal three-dimensional projection. The "consciousness activity monitoring curve" on the holographic interface was almost flat, and only weak quantum fluctuations could be detected, like a candle flickering in the wind.

"Test data record: after the primordial spirit escapes, the lock response time is 0.012 seconds, the dark matter anchoring success rate is 100%, the information integrity drops to a minimum of 23%, the dark matter coupling strength decreases by 99.99%, and the quantum state stability of the consciousness module is 89% - the suppression logic of the high-dimensional information cluster is completely valid."

After testing, the results were clear: the phase space locker could indeed severely damage or even completely annihilate the primordial spirit of an immortal.

High-dimensional information clusters, also known as "primordial spirit," "divine soul," or "soul," although originating from high-dimensional space, depend on the "interaction interface" with the physical rules of three-dimensional space for their stable existence, energy acquisition, and functional realization in three-dimensional space.

Phase space locking precisely disrupts this interface, fundamentally undermining the three-dimensional existence of high-dimensional information clusters, rather than directly "interfering with the high-dimensional space itself".
