Chapter 82 Basic Settings of the World
Out of nothing.
Also known as perpetual motion machine.
In Benjamin's previous life, anyone who claimed to have discovered a perpetual motion machine would be considered a psychopath.
After discovering the specificity of the space within his body, Benjamin conducted many experiments, even spending a large sum of points to purchase an isolation system made by a sixth-level wizard.
Finally, he confirmed that the space within his body did not have properties similar to vacuum zero-point energy or absorbing energy from outside the world, but was indeed able to create spiritual energy "out of nothing".
If such a discovery had happened in Benjamin's previous life, it would have definitely shocked the whole world, but now Benjamin seemed unusually calm.
Although it was a little surprising at first, it was just a little surprising.
after all……
"This should be the third thing I've come across that can create something out of nothing, right?"
Benjamin looked inward at the ever-increasing spiritual energy in his own space with a strange expression.
"This immortal cultivation civilization is truly amazing..."
That’s right, this is the third time that Jieming has encountered something that can come out of nothing, and all of them originated from the immortal civilization.
It’s just that his understanding of the world was not so clear the previous two times, and he didn’t understand the extraordinary powers so well, so he didn’t react for a while. It was only after a long period of study that he gradually understood.
In addition to this space that can create spiritual energy out of thin air, the second time Jieming encountered something out of nothing, he actually used it very often, that is, the "materialization of concepts" in the world of immortal cultivation.
Things like the Purple Air from the East, the Pure Gold, and his Five Elements Transforming into a Rainbow Mirror all rely on the ability to materialize concepts to produce their effects.
Being able to transform concepts that were originally artificially defined into usable matter and energy is in itself a kind of creation out of nothing.
Although concepts like refined gold will consume matter and energy during the production process, there are also concepts like the purple air coming from the east that not only do not consume energy, but also increase energy out of thin air.
As for the first kind of creation out of nothing, which is also the first kind of creation out of nothing that Jieming came into contact with, it is actually aura.
There is no aura in the wizarding world.
This is a fact that Benjamin knew very early on.
Because there was no spiritual energy in the outside world, he chose the method of refining essence into qi, and through refining his own essence to generate spiritual energy, he gained cultivation...
This sounds like a normal and reasonable process and choice... but it's weird!
If you dig deeper, you'll find that this seemingly reasonable process is actually quite ridiculous.
At first, Jemin did not realize this, but as he became more proficient in alchemy and his understanding of the world became clearer, Jemin finally realized this serious problem.
However, to understand the problem, we need to answer another question first: What exactly is Reiki?
A special energy?
A power imbued with spiritual concepts?
It was not until Benjamin learned about the microscopic structure of the wizarding world that he finally realized this problem.
Fortunately, his Dao Book Pavilion lived up to its name and easily told him the answer through a few books:
The so-called spiritual energy is the most basic particle that constitutes the world of immortal cultivation!
There are three worlds that Benjamin knows. One is the wizard world where he is now, one is the technological world of his previous life, and the other is the world of immortal cultivation described in the Dao Book Pavilion.
The structures of these three worlds at a microscopic perspective are extremely similar, and all are composed of matter consisting of various tiny particles.
Of course there are also differences.
For example, in the world of immortal cultivation and the world of wizards, things like "time" and "space" really exist, unlike the technological world in Jieming's previous life, where these two concepts are just used to describe the trajectory and range of particle activities.
But this difference is insignificant. What really makes the three worlds different is the most basic particle composition of the three worlds.
Like the technological world of the previous life, although due to the level of technology, the fundamental particles that can be used to describe gravity have not yet been found, the remaining strong force, weak force and electromagnetic force can all be described by fundamental particles, which is the so-called standard model of elementary particles.
According to that model, the technological world of Benjamin's previous life was composed of 61 kinds of elementary particles, including 32 kinds of quarks and 12 kinds of leptons that constitute matter, as well as several kinds of bosons used to transmit interactions.
Among the three commonly known particles that make up most matter: protons, neutrons and electrons, only electrons are considered elementary particles, while the remaining protons and neutrons are composed of quarks.
The wizarding world is also structured in a similar way, except that the most basic particles that make up their world are elements.
Strictly speaking, they are the four major elemental particles of earth, fire, wind and water.
The earth element constitutes matter, the fire element constitutes energy, the wind element constitutes space, and the water element constitutes time, and each type of elemental particles contains dozens of variants.
Elements other than these four elements are basically composed of different element particles of the four elements combined in a certain proportion.
As for the world of immortal cultivation, the basic particle that constitutes everything is naturally spiritual energy.
However, the word "aura" is too confusing. According to Benjamin's current understanding, it would be more appropriate to call it "spiritual particle".
Judging from the knowledge provided by the Dao Book Pavilion, the classification of spiritual energy is not that exaggerated. There are only two types, namely "yin" and "yang".
However, the small number of basic particles does not mean that the world they form is monotonous.
For example, there are so many basic particles in the technological world, but the neutrons and protons that make up matter are also composed of only three types of quarks respectively.
The matter and energy particles in the wizarding world are generally composed of four to five elemental particles.
As for the world of immortal cultivation... material particles are generally composed of two to nine different kinds of yin and yang.
In short, although the three worlds are very close at the macroscopic and more “basic” microscopic levels, they are completely different at the deepest microscopic level.
The reason why extraordinary powers can appear in the wizarding world and the immortal cultivation world is that the most basic particles in the two worlds have additional active properties compared to the technological world.
For example, wizards usually mobilize elemental particles with relatively high activity in the environment. The higher the level of the wizard, the lower the activity threshold of the elemental particles he can mobilize.
After understanding what spiritual energy is, let’s go back to the original question: without spiritual energy, how can we practice the techniques of the world of immortal cultivation?
The answer is it is impossible to practice!
Because the structure of the world's bottom layer is different!
The Dao Library contained a nearly infinite variety of cultivation methods, from the most basic methods of refining essence into qi and breathing in spiritual energy, to the more unconventional methods of channeling starlight, refining evil spirits, sun and moon essences, destiny and luck, Yang Shen visualization, and yin and yang intercourse, to the somewhat uncanny methods of death energy, evil spirits, emotions, and flesh and blood...
No matter what kind of practice method is used, its essence has not changed: using specific methods, these things are used to "decompose" the spiritual energy that can be used by the cultivator!
As for whether these spiritual energies are finally used to refine the body, refine the qi, or refine the spirit, it mainly depends on the differences in the exercises and the intentions of the cultivator.
Therefore, in Jieming's view now, the act of using the most basic method of refining essence into qi to refine spiritual power is completely nonsense.
Because the wizarding world has no aura!
This is like extracting water from a pile of gold, it's simply impossible!
