Chapter 285 Three-in-One
……

The evolution of the Azure Phoenix has been calculated.

Wu Wen immediately activated all his computing power and devoted himself to the deduction of the combination of "essence, energy and spirit".

In Wu Wen's cognitive system.

Matter corresponds to "essence," energy corresponds to "vital energy," and information corresponds to "spirit."

These three elements do not exist in isolation, but rather there exists a subtle cyclical transformation mechanism, much like an eternal symphony in the universe, where each part resonates with and blends with the others.

Matter is transformed into energy; this is the process of "refining into qi".

Taking the food we eat every day as an example, after these substances enter the human body, they undergo a complex metabolic process to convert the chemical energy they contain into an energy form that can be directly used by the organism: ATP.

The transformation of energy into information is the manifestation of "Qi transforming into spirit".

When energy exists in the form of ATP, it drives the transmission of electrical signals between neurons. These electrical signals carry various information, much like vehicles speeding along the information superhighway, transmitting instructions to every corner of the body.

The transformation of information into matter and energy is a manifestation of "divine control of vital energy".

Taking gene expression as an example, the information contained in DNA regulates protein synthesis through precise processes such as transcription and translation. This process not only consumes energy but also produces new substances, much like a highly skilled craftsman meticulously crafting the required objects according to a predetermined blueprint.

The cyclical transformation mechanism among the three elements of essence, energy, and spirit strictly follows the laws of energy conservation, matter conservation, and information entropy.

Corresponding mass-energy equivalence!
The mass-energy equivalence equation and the information entropy formula are like two magic keys that unify matter, energy, and information through a numerological framework.

From the perspective of divination.

Matter, acting as a carrier (essence), releases energy (gas) through chemical or nuclear reactions.

Energy, as the driving force (qi), propels the transmission and processing of information (shen).

Information acts as a regulator (god), and in turn, it influences the synthesis of matter and the distribution of energy.

The three are connected through the laws of conservation, energy, mass, the principle of entropy increase, and information theory.

They formed a closely connected and harmonious whole.

……

Just as Wu Wen was methodically deducing based on his previous understanding of essence, energy, and spirit,

The immense computing power of the Lock Mountain Armor flowed into his mind like a surging tide, bringing him even more insights.

This realization.

This made Wu Wen suddenly realize the truth.

It turns out that these insights about essence, energy, and spirit were gained through practice, learning, analysis, and deduction.

In fact, there were already corresponding records in the Taoist classics he had studied.

Previously, he felt as if he were in a fog; although he knew the classics existed, he had never been able to truly understand their profound meaning.

Just like.

In modern science, "ATP" is figuratively called "true essence" in Taoist classics, which is an important energy foundation for the operation of life.

DNA has been given the mysterious name of "innate Dao patterns," as if it were a unique mark bestowed upon life by heaven.

The law of conservation of matter, known in Taoism as the "law of the indestructibility of primordial essence," emphasizes the permanence and immutability of matter in the universe.

Information entropy, also known as "the degree of chaos in the heavens," implies the complexity and uncertainty of information.

In Taoist classics, the symbol “∑” in divination is given the grand meaning of “all the heavens”, as if symbolizing the vastness and infinity of the universe.

The term "log" is also known as "the logarithm of the universe," carrying a mysterious and profound connotation.

In Taoism, the mass-energy equivalence equation is interpreted as the principle of "existence arising from emptiness".

Its formula is expressed as "True Essence = Physical Foundation × Speed ​​of Light of the Mind squared".

The Book of Changes, Cantongqi, records that "the sun's pearls flow, and it always wants to leave people," comparing vitality to light.

"Mind Speed" refers to the extreme speed at which intention breaks through the void.

In this way, matter, energy, and information are cyclically transformed.

In Taoist classics, it is described as a leap in life level through the cyclical transformation of essence, qi, and spirit, ultimately reaching the supreme state of "refining emptiness and uniting with the Tao".

This process follows the progressive principle of "refining essence into qi → refining qi into spirit → refining spirit into emptiness → refining emptiness into the Dao".

Essentially, it is a hierarchical sublimation of matter (essence), energy (qi), and information (spirit).

In Taoist practice, weakening the dominant role of the body and restoring the original nature of the spirit is the true essence of cultivation.

The universe is like an ocean of consciousness!

The transformation of essence, energy, and spirit is the core of life activities that one must know in the practice of Daoist alchemy.

Refining essence into qi (matter → energy).

The essence acquired after birth (from food and reproduction) is transformed into qi (energy) through cultivation (such as internal alchemy and guiding exercises).

Cultivation Method:

Focus on the lower dantian (sea of ​​essence), and through breathing exercises or mental concentration, sublime substances are transformed into qi.

The Taoist "Small Heavenly Circuit" exercise guides the vital energy to circulate along the Ren and Du meridians, forming an energy flow.

Refining Qi into Spirit (Energy → Information)

Qi (energy) condenses in the middle dantian (Shanzhong) and is sublimated into spirit (consciousness, spirituality) through mental cultivation.

Cultivation Method:

In Buddhism, "cultivating the mind" (such as meditation) involves observing one's thoughts to bring scattered energy back to pure consciousness.

In Taoism, the "central channel" is opened, and energy rises from the heart chakra to the crown chakra (Baihui), stimulating wisdom and enlightenment.

Refining the spirit to return to emptiness (information → origin).

The divine (consciousness) transcends individual limitations and merges with the origin of the universe (the void), achieving "astral projection" or "interaction between heaven and man".

Cultivation Method:

The Buddhist concept of "breaking the attachment to self" involves dissolving self-consciousness and returning to emptiness.

The Taoist concept of "refining the spirit and uniting with the Tao" means that the primordial spirit resonates with the Tao, transcending the constraints of matter and energy.

……

Just as Wu Wen was immersed in the deduction and analysis of essence, energy and spirit.

A manual on Taoist breathing techniques was suddenly pulled out.

The formula states: "The essence of water and grain + six mouthfuls of 'innate pure yang' → six strands of 'turbid yin evil qi' + six drops of 'rootless true water' + thirty-eight 'true yang fire talismans'."

Now, with Wu Wen's in-depth understanding, this Daoist breathing technique actually contains the secrets of aerobic Qi cultivation.

The essence of water and grains is the transformation of the spirit of the five grains, which can be scientifically understood as glucose, an important source of energy for the human body.

Primordial pure yang, which is the pure yang energy of heaven and earth, corresponds to oxygen and is an indispensable substance for life and respiration.

Turbid Yin Qi is the waste Qi from the body's metabolism, which scientifically refers to carbon dioxide, the waste gas expelled during respiration.

Rootless true water is the condensed liquid of the body's internal circulation. It can be regarded as metabolic water, a liquid produced by the body's internal circulation.

The True Yang Fire Talisman is the true seed of energy storage in the dantian, which scientifically corresponds to ATP, a form of energy storage in the body.

This is the fundamental method of refining essence into qi.

During the breathing exercises, a certain pattern is followed: for every pound of water and grain essence refined, six breaths of primordial qi are required, which can condense thirty-eight true yang fire talismans and store them in the dantian, with an efficiency of about 30% to 40%.

The rest is transformed into turbid yin and expelled from the body. This process can also be seen as a method of resolving karmic obstacles, purifying both the body and mind.

This corresponds to the passage in the "Huang Ting Jing" that says, "Breathe in the primordial energy to seek immortality," revealing the secret of cultivation that involves breathing exercises to pursue longevity and transcendence.
