After practicing the White Dragon Whip Skill, Lu Li broke into a heavy sweat.
But it had also made his blood and qi flow smoothly, giving his complexion a healthy, rosy glow and bringing his body functions to an optimal state.
After slightly drying off his sweat, he picked up the book “Brain and Nerves: Telekinesis” and began to read.
When he first saw Wang Siqi at the Divine Heart Association, that man was reading this book, written by a professor from Cambridge University.
The opening discussed the theory of the bio-magnetic field and then used this to introduce “telekinesis,” that is, the principle of “Mind Shifting.”
“A special bio-magnetic field formed by brainwaves?”
The book stated that the human brain contains about 15 billion neurons, whose bioelectric responses create the miraculous brainwaves.
Cultivators concentrated these brainwaves, producing various incredible abilities; this was—Mind Control Matter!
“Quite interesting.”
Lu Li continued reading with intrigue, but his expression grew increasingly solemn.
The book mentioned:
[Regrettably, although there are 15 billion neurons in the brain, we can control at most only 5%.]
[Because the nervous system is controlled by the “Subconscious,” our thoughts are merely passive participants.]
[But if thoughts could actively communicate with the subconscious, mobilizing all neurons…
you would become the god of your body!]
[By the way, in the Far East, this is known as “Zuowang.”]
Upon reading this, Lu Li abruptly stood up:
“The Zuowang in Shen Zhou’s Cultivation Method is about ‘forgetting both matter and self, resonating with the Divine Soul.'”
“But according to this book, it’s about ‘thoughts communicating with the subconscious’!”
Lu Li carefully recalled Blue Star’s descriptions of the subconscious—
The subconscious could be understood as “bodily instinct.”
This included not only basic instincts like breathing and blinking but also conditioned reflexes acquired through training and experience.
“The ‘Zuowang Theory’ also mentions ‘communicating with the True Self.’ The reasoning…
is compatible!”
With something so significant, Lu Li hurriedly took the book to consult with Wanqing.
At that time, the girl was busy in the kitchen, wearing an apron.
Listening to Lu Li recite the contents, she pondered for a moment and slowly said:
“A Western scholar named Freud once said, ‘If the soul is an iceberg on the sea surface, then thought is just the tip of the iceberg; the majority hidden under the water is the main body of the soul, which is also called the subconscious.'”
At that moment, Wanqing placed her hand before her chest, embodying the “subconscious” formed by nurture, independent of thought.
She continued:
“In the ‘Zuowang Theory,’ Mr.
Li Yuanzhong spoke of ‘communicating with the True Self,’ which mirrors ‘communicating with the subconscious.'”
“Indeed!” Lu Li immediately felt an epiphany.
Being a modern man, he found the idea of “communicating with the subconscious” easier to grasp.
Then, Wanqing added, “The method to communicate with the subconscious should be in the book you’re holding.”
Lu Li entered the “Meditation State” directly, using his extremely sharp mind to search through the book, and indeed he found it:
[The “theta Sitar Wave” in the brainwaves, appearing only during deep sleep and meditation, can suppress the central nervous system and communicate with the subconscious.]
Having had a breakthrough experience in Meditation before, Lu Li instantly understood:
“This means, letting the brain be covered by ‘Sitar Waves’ would allow communication with the subconscious, sensing the Divine Soul!”
Wanqing, also experienced, agreed on this view: “Exactly, that’s it!”
At this point, the previously perplexing breakthrough in Zuowang finally had a direction.
Lu Li took a long breath of relief: “Wanqing, thank you.
I’ll give it a try right away.”
Wanqing smiled gently: “I wish you swift success, young master~”
~~~~~~~~~~~
Lu Li returned to his room, sat quietly on the bed, and began to try again.
This time he was full of confidence, and he was exceptionally formal, even lighting a stick of Calming Incense.
However, in this world, things are often “easier said than done.”
“Sitar Waves” only appear during deep sleep and meditation, essentially a state akin to sleep but not quite.
Lu Li tried to quiet his mind completely, without a single thought, like an ancient well without a ripple.
This was an attempt to activate the brain’s “Sitar Waves” through the method of Forgetfulness, but he was immediately met with various disturbances.
And most of these disturbances came from his own body!
Blinking, breathing, even the sound of his heartbeat, all interrupted him.
After a while, he managed to immerse himself, but his brain involuntarily entered a semi-comatose state.
Once asleep, how could he still focus on communicating with his subconscious?
Thus, Lu Li’s attempts were either too shallow or overdone, and he finished the day without any gains.
“It’s really not that easy…”
The breakthrough in Refining God was by no means easy, and Lu Li had been mentally prepared.
However, he couldn’t help feeling a bit restless and left his room to get some fresh air in the courtyard.
At this time, the three ladies of the house were hanging clothes, laughing and having a good time.
Upon seeing Lu Li come out, Xiao Cha greeted him,
“Zuowang is the third realm of Refining God, just like Refining Internal Organs, it is a qualitative transformation in cultivation.
It is said that the abbot of Ten Thousand Buddha Temple faced the wall for 30 years to make a breakthrough~”
“Thirty years…” Lu Li smiled wryly, he didn’t have that much time.
The Emperor Chuyun was already making moves; three years would be pushing it.
Lu Li shook his head and started practicing the “White Dragon Whip Skill” in the courtyard.
Traditional Chinese medicine stresses “stretching the muscles and invigorating the circulation of the blood,” and since the big muscles connect the whole body, practicing them invigorates vital energy.
After a few rounds, Lu Li exhaled a breath of stale air, dispelling his inner turmoil and clearing his mind.
He suddenly thought:
“Since the breakthrough relates to brain waves, I could return to Blue Star to look for relevant information.
Blue Star’s research on brain waves is much more advanced than the Otherworld.”
At this moment, as Lu Li pondered, his movements remained crisp and precise.
The “White Dragon Whip Skill” had become second nature to him, a reflection of his subconscious.
He let his subconscious guide his physical training while considering,
“It’s not just brain waves, Blue Star’s research on the human body is far ahead of the Otherworld, they’ve even discovered meridians…”
Meanwhile, Xiao Cha watched Lu Li train, her expression showing surprise,
“Body and will coordinated, this kid has got it!”
After a while, once Lu Li had finished a complete set of movements, Xiao Cha called out, “Try doing some somersaults.”
“I’ll give it a try.”
Lu Li prepared for a few seconds, then held his breath, opened his arms, and did several “front soft tumbles” from artistic gymnastics.
His movements were standard and graceful, not resembling those of a disabled person at all.
Xiao Cha clapped, “Very good, very good, your muscles are fully stretched.
You can now commence the cultivation of Bone Forging.”
Lu Li dusted off his hands, remarking, “It seems that I’ve first made progress in martial arts.”
Xiao Cha, bursting with excitement, assumed a stance,
“The cultivation of Bone Forging still uses the actions of the ‘White Dragon Whip Skill’, but it primarily involves shaking and vibrating.”
She lifted her hand and threw a whip punch that vibrated forcefully, producing a loud ‘bang’, and said,
“As the saying goes, ‘A sound explosion worth a thousand gold’!
It’s this ‘bang’ that explodes and vibrates the big muscle, invigorates the blood, and nourishes the bones!”
The big muscle, a connective tissue layer covering the muscles and bones and filled with countless blood vessels,
can activate human potential and strengthen muscles and bones through scientifically rational movements.
With the ability, “Body Follows the Will”, Lu Li memorized the technique at once.
He too threw a whip punch, making a slightly softer ‘bang’.
Xiao Cha praised, “Exactly, just like that.
You need to work hard~”
The girl was very much looking forward to starting Dual Cultivation with Lu Li.
Lu Li nodded, “I understand.
But there’s something I need to mention, I’ll have to leave for a considerable stretch of time.”
