From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

This also means that although the Awakened Ones and Returning Warriors of Dragonbone Village also have a cultivation method of meditation through sitting, it is merely meditation to sense the rhythm of the life essence so that they can make it easier for them to use it later.

Ultimately, they cannot imagine that the operation and rhythm of the life source substance, that is, the innate Qi, also requires the construction of a life source substance operation system relative to the complex and open macroscopic system of the human body.

but.

In theory, if Dragon Bone Village can develop for another hundred years, Bai Yuekui could also find the corresponding direction and begin to build his own life source circulation system.

only--

A hundred years is too long; seize the day.

With the Mana ecosystem still evolving, there are too many uncertainties, so Jiang Liu can only give humanity a "speed boost".

At this moment, a metal chain was installed on Mark's back, mainly his spine, with specially made long needles on both sides piercing his skin and drilling into his spine, injecting inhibitors to relax Mark's body.

Soon after, Mark's consciousness gradually faded, and he fell into a deep sleep.

"The first step is complete."

Seeing that Mark had entered a state of "selflessness," Xia Tian nodded in satisfaction and ordered Mai Duo, "Turn on the source material projection device and irradiate Mark!"

"Yes!"

Maido pulled up the switch, and the source material projection device directly in front of Mark emitted a white beam of light, which hit Mark's chest with perfect accuracy, causing every cell in his body to tremble.

At the same time, Qianli and Suixing also began their operations.

Qianli held drumsticks in both hands and struck the drum continuously, producing exciting drumbeats, while the spiral metal rods surrounding him also produced strange tremors.

Shattered Star was plucking the strings of a special instrument that resembled a coordinate axis: the theremin.

The so-called theremin works by using two I/O oscillators and working units that sense the distributed capacitance of the human body and the ground to generate changes in the frequency and magnitude of the oscillations.

This is also the only musical instrument in the world that can produce sound without physical contact, invented by physicist Professor Lef Termen in 1919.

The antenna perpendicular to the ground is used to adjust the volume; the closer your hand is to the ground, the quieter the sound becomes.

The antenna, parallel to the ground, is used to adjust the frequency; the closer your hand is to the ground, the higher the pitch.

With one hand sliding up and down and the other hand manipulating it horizontally, the metal plates on the antennas on both sides formed a spiraling state resembling water ripples and swirling clouds, emitting a melodious tune.

The drum primarily uses vibration, while the theremin uses electromagnetism. Together, they regulate the energy flow emitted by the source material projection device, making its frequency consistent with the frequency of the life source material within Mark's body during normal life activities, thus achieving a state of resonance.

After resonance was generated, Shattered Star and Thousand Miles gradually increased the vibration frequency and electromagnetic intensity, causing the life essence in Mark's body to form a special turbulent state in a specific rhythm.

The resulting effect was that the life essence within his body emerged along the metal needles piercing his body, and, connected by the metal threads at the ends, projected golden streams of light onto the marrow crystal metal wall behind him, thus forming a phantom image of a beast-like Mark.

In the main timeline of Under One Person, Jiang Liu learned that the substance called Marrow Crystal could store innate Qi, soul, and mental power.

In this time and space, marrow crystals are one of the most important resources for the survival of Dragonbone Village. They are used to make currency, manufacture weapons, research equipment, and fight against the Mana ecosystem.

In the current situation, the marrow crystals of that metal wall, after being specially polished and arranged in a ring, can make the life source matter exhibit a corresponding turbulent state without storing it in the marrow crystals, thereby awakening potential.

As Mark's life essence gradually materialized under the constraints of the ring-shaped marrow crystal wall, an unknown fluctuation arose, causing his near-humanoid life essence to fluctuate violently, like a flame being blown by a gale, which might break apart at any moment.

"not good!"

Xia Tianlai looked at the data on Mark's brain on the screen with a serious expression. "There's a force trying to take control of his body!"

The moment the words fell.

hum-

An invisible shockwave erupted from Mark, shattering the Star Shatter and Thousand Miles, rendering them unable to "play music" any longer!

Xia Tianlai, Xia Dou, Mai Duo, Jiu Ge, Xu Tong, A Mu Er, and others either collapsed to the ground or retreated incessantly, their eyes filled with panic as they looked at Mark.

"Om!"

At this critical juncture, Jiang Liu uttered a single word.

Chapter 1179 Awakening Potential (Part 2)

"Om!"

With just one word, the tremors around Mark subsided, and the golden life essence, which had been flickering like a candle in the wind, gradually stabilized.

"Om Mani Padme Hum!"

Jiang Liu chanted the mantra, activating his spiritual power. A vibration mediated by the mind reached Mark's heart, completely calming his restlessness.

Before ten seconds had even subsided, the shockwaves on Mark's body returned, and the life essence once again surged violently, unable to form a stable turbulent state.

"Oh ho, you're quite stubborn! But I'm even more stubborn than you! Since you dared to bring my 'Zhen Yuanzi' to this time and space, then you should be prepared to have your head shaved."

With a sneer in his heart, Jiang Liu connected his own human magnetic field with Mark's biomagnetic field. Holding the shape of a Hunyuan pill in both hands, he sat cross-legged in mid-air. A thousand-petaled lotus platform emerged below him, manifesting his Dharma body, which grew to a height of sixteen feet. His eyes bloomed like lotus flowers, reflecting the starry river, and a radiant image appeared behind his head, radiating billions of rays of light.

"Wow!"

A golden-winged roc emerged from behind the light, its eyes gleaming with golden light and its claws sharp. With a long cry, it folded its wings, shrank its size, and stood atop the light.

"hiss--"

Another large snake coiled beneath the lotus platform and slowly rose. Seven snake heads rose from behind him, spreading the skin folds at their necks to cover Jiang Liu's head. The patterns on the backs of the seven heads were densely packed with stars, among which the seven most dazzling stars formed the shape of the Big Dipper.

The head is solemn!

A perfect physical form!

Absolutely dignified!

Although it is only six zhang tall, it is like Mount Sumeru, suppressing the heavens.

Then I heard him chant the six-syllable mantra, which resonated with the golden headband on Mark's head, causing his golden life essence to stop trembling and become completely calm.

Mark's breathing gradually stabilized, and the spinal cord worm with its head severed from its body further merged with Mark's flesh and blood, showing a tendency to completely become Mark's spine.

The others also came to their senses at this moment, watching as Mark's life essence returned to stability and the turbulent state became more stable, while the Devouring Beast's body fluctuated violently.

During Jiang Liu's observation, the non-protein-coding parts of every cell in Mark's body accelerated his evolution, but it seemed that some condition was lacking, preventing his potential from being directly utilized...

···

"Mark, are you alright?"

After the awakening of potential was over, Jiang Liu withdrew his Dharma body and returned to his original physical form. He and the others went to support Mark, who had regained consciousness and was panting heavily.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little dizzy. I need to eat plenty of protein and dietary fiber."

Mark shook his head, took a breath, and made a small joke. Upon seeing Jiang Liu, he became excited and hurriedly asked, "During this process, I met Bai Yuekui with black hair. I wandered and fought alongside her, but in the end, she turned her gun on me..."

I'm certain I grew up in a lighthouse!

Do you know what happened?

For an instant.

Summer and Antarctic Star exchanged a glance, completely confirming Mark's identity as the reincarnation of the cranial life source.

But how should I tell him about craniotomy?

“You’ll have to ask Grandma Bai about that,” Jiang Liu said with a casual smile. “Asking me won’t help, since I wasn’t raised by Grandma Bai.”

"But you have that ability..."

Concerning his identity, Mark wanted to get to the bottom of things, but then he suddenly remembered what Jiang Liu had said: to prevent his consciousness from being influenced by the higher-dimensional will of the Mana ecosystem, Dragon Bone Village, Bai Yuekui, and others wouldn't tell him everything, and might even deliberately mislead him—

Should I figure it out myself?

resignedly.

He had no choice but to shut up.

"Besides these, what else did you see during this process?" Jiang Liu pressed.

"I saw a beautiful world, with a heaven that only existed in books, where a God reigned... and a hell, where a woman ruled over reincarnation... and the sea, the blue sky, the land, the forests, all kinds of plants and animals I had only seen in books, and human civilization, but that civilization seemed to be in an ancient society..."

Listening to Mark's description, Nanjixing glanced at Jiang Liu and guessed, "Could it be that your awakened source potential is related to spacetime?"

Maido exclaimed, "Mark, you can see parallel worlds?"

Amur said, "If we really can't defeat the Mana ecosystem, relocating to a parallel world as a whole would be a good option."

"How can this be?"

Xia Dou disagreed, saying, "This is our home."

Summer came and asked Jiang Liu, "Is his potential really related to time and space?"

No, that's not true.

Jiang Liu revealed the root of the matter: "The world that Mark saw was the world within the golden elixir of my body and mind, the sacred embryo of my Qi. All living beings within it, whether they are the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court, the Earthly Empress of the Underworld, or the flowers, plants, fish, insects, birds, beasts, and human civilization in the human world, are all transformed from my soul, spirit, and will."

"Mr. Jiang, is there a world inside your body?"

The drinking song startled everyone.

"You could say that."

Jiang Liudao said, "There are two places in the human body with the highest concentration of nerves: the brain and the intestines, which correspond to heaven and earth respectively."

The five internal organs are the masters of life; cultivating the five internal organs is cultivating the human body as a whole.

The path of Qi cultivation is not only for strengthening the spirit and body, but also for building a system based on the source of life, so that the spiritual world of an individual practitioner can match the complex and open macroscopic system that already exists in the human body, thus ensuring its perpetual existence.

If one can unite the mental landscape (spiritual world) with the physical landscape (physical world), then one can be said to have forged a golden elixir.

Gold is immortal.

Dan means perfection.

Reaching this level, one can easily harness the power of heaven and earth for one's own use; even unleashing great supernatural powers like Sun Wukong's "following the laws of heaven and earth" is possible.

Once the Golden Elixir is formed, and combined with the Sacred Embryo—that is, the body's energy structure—the combination of the real and the illusory can open up a three-dimensional space parallel to the human body and mind.

At this point, Jiang Liu looked at Mark again: "The spirit seed of the Devouring Beast is equivalent to a nascent golden core, forming a multi-dimensional space of its own, but it cannot yet accommodate matter from three-dimensional space; only spiritual bodies, souls, and life essence can enter—"

This is also one of the reasons why the Awakened Ones and Returning Origin Warriors of Dragon Bone Village failed to develop a way to make the life essence circulate throughout the body.

Human inventions and creations are essentially applications of "bionics".

Birds and animals build nests, humans build houses.

Bat sound waves, radar sonar.

This is true for all of them.
