Mei Clan Ancestral Hall.
The patriarch picked up the table and threw it into the wall, smashing it into pieces.
"What do you mean you failed? It's just an injured girl at the second stage Foundation Establishment and the stupid son of a beggar"
The patriarch shouted with an agitated voice.
"Our information was flawed; it seems that the Chen family young master found a way to restore his spiritual roots. He also managed to defeat five of our men one of which was at the peak of Foundation Establishment. He's at least at the Core Formation ream"
A man cloaked in a dark robe kneeling before the patriarch spoke trying to calm down the angry patriarch.
"That's impossible, even if he somehow managed to restore his broken spiritual roots, he'd need at least a few months to reach the Core Formation realm" the patriarch scoffed at the man's words.
"This is your last chance, bring them back to me. And do it yourself this time." The patriarch spoke in an authoritative voice and waved his hand to dismiss the dark cloaked man.
"Yes sir" the man spoke and slowly sank into the floor.

'Although the space elemental particles in the space rings aren't much, I'll just use my [Development] skill to make up for it. It's a good thing that the breakthrough to the Core Formation realm doesn't call upon a thunder tribulation, otherwise, I'd be in big trouble if I used all my spiritual energy to create space elemental particles'
Chen Mo thought to himself as he sat cross legged and held the space rings in his hands.

Celestial realm, Yuanshi Palace
A muscular middle-aged looking man with long hair and a huge beard walks out the balcony and smiles.
"Did something good happen master?"
A teenage looking young man asks as she hands out a towel to the man.
"It seems someone has mastered the law of space" he spoke in a calm voice showing a hint of excitement.
"Did a new space celestial appear? There hasn't been one in over a million years" the young man asked looking perplexed, immortals mastering laws and ascending to the celestial realm were normal occurrences. Even though it wasn't often that a person mastered the law of space, how could it excite the master, he thought to himself.
"No, this time it happened in a mortal world" the man answered with a huge smile forming in his face.
"What? How is that possible? Isn't it just the space element?" the young man asked with a shocked expression on his face. The law of space was one of the hardest laws to master. How could a mortal master it.
"No, it's definitely not an element. It's the law of space, I can feel it." The man looked up at the dark sky with no stars but only darkness and laughed loudly, "It seems that something interesting is about to happen, those sages won't even know what hit them. Hahaha…"

The Protagonist Sect.
Chen Mo was floating in his room when he suddenly opened his eyes, spiritual energy was circulating around his abdomen, there were spatial cracks everywhere around him and the room was trashed.
'What happened here? I passed out before after expending so much spiritual energy creating the space element particles. I didn't know how much was needed and so I spammed until I run out of spiritual energy. It's a good thing that my body absorbs spiritual energy automatically otherwise I wouldn't be able to make the breakthrough'
Chen Mo slowly levitated to the ground and the spatial cracks fixed themselves. He thought to himself that now that he was at the core formation stage, he could fly.
But before that, he needed to first create something to manage his powers since he had broken through and his spiritual energy was now hundreds of times higher than what he initially had since he now had a core.
His brain could also process infonts thousands of times faster than he could before his breakthrough and he felt that he could create a new skill.
He sat still in a lotus posture and entered a deep concentration state. Although, he could activate his skills without entering deep concentration, it was his first-time attempting creation at this level and he didn't want any accidents to occur.
'Activate skill [Development]'
Chen Mo traced back his thoughts and thought about how computers could run many processes at the same time and tried to use that as his template.
He wanted to isolate part of his brain to be used to process infonts without his loosing his main brain functionality.
After a while, spiritual energy surged into his body and slowly dispersed after a few minutes.
'Looks like it worked' he thought as he opened up the system panel in his mind.
Parallel Processing - Can independently process and absorb infonts using a separate metaphysical processing structure that operates in parallel with the main consciousness. This allows rapid comprehension and synthesis of infonts without compromising or interfering with the focus and functions of the main mind. Also remains aware and conscious even when the primary consciousness is inactive, asleep or incapacitated, providing ongoing peripheral awareness and cognition.
Chen Mo looked at the skill description and showed a frown. Although the skill was great, it was still not there yet.
'Let's try this one out'
Chen Mo returned to his deep concentration state and thought to himself,
'That [Parallel Processing] skill is really nice but it still needs some refinement, it can run separately but can't make use of many of my other skills effectively since it's not entirely conscious. Since the [Existence] skill knows everything that's not purposefully concealed, and my [Memory] skill preserves the state of my mind perfectly without any external disturbance, I can combine the two skills to make a semi-conscious entity and then share my brain functionality to it through [Parallel Processing]. If that's successful, I'll essentially have a personal highly intelligent AI assistant that runs indefinitely'
