From troll tribes to elf empires

Chapter 11 Thinking Access and New ‘Visions’

As time passed, when the blade fangs gradually grew to the height of the mature troll's chest, his research on the meditation method was finally able to go further. A body starts from the inside out, from the organ structure to the internal circulation, and then to the external representation.

The complete meditation object appeared in his mind.

In other words, of the six steps originally conceived, the first four have been completed.

The first step is to imagine a roughly equivalent troll body;

The second step is to perfect the organ structure of the imaginary body;

The third step is to use cells to reconstruct the body;

The fourth step is the integrated ‘operation’ of the body, organ structures, and cell structures.

Among them, the "cell reconstruction" part has great flaws. The reason lies in two aspects:

First, the loss of intracellular structure.

Second, reorganization at the cellular level fails.

The first problem cannot be solved for the time being, unless one day he can achieve cell-level observation, otherwise this problem will always exist; and the second problem is 'brain power', the computing power level is not enough, every time he tries

As the body is further deconstructed to the cellular level, collapse is inevitable.

However, these problems are not without alternatives. After constant attempts, he found that both problems can be bypassed through 'I Xunsi'.

In this way, it finally meets the current needs (Note 1) while leaving some room for future transformation (Note 2).

But in the 'fantasy dimension', apart from the rolling mist, there is no other manifestation.

In terms of 'appearance', it appears as a 'troll body'; when you ignore its 'appearance' and go deep into the 'inside', a closed 'space' will appear 'before your eyes'.

In fact, it was indeed the case. In the next period of time, which was not too long, Blade Ya easily achieved the 'consciousness grafting' by grinding his hands with water.

This 'space' has the following properties:

1. Nothingness and reality coexist;

The outermost layer of the 'space' is a spherical 'sealing membrane', which represents the 'boundary'; the inside is filled with a thin mist, which represents the 'spiritual power'; there is nothing else, at least at this stage.

2. There are boundaries;

Composed of all cells, the body and its extensions are both its carrier and its boundary.

The moment it was completed, the 'meditation space' appeared completely 'in front of' him for the first time.

Of course, neither 'appearance' nor 'innerness' really exist in reality in the strict sense, but are only 'utopian dimensions' established based on 'meditation'.

After completing all this work, Blade Ya picked up the low-level magic crystal at hand, and while pouring power into it, he felt the changes in the two dimensions of reality and 'fantasy'.

Blade Ya changed the initial mist from a simple concept of 'spiritual power' to a 'vitality' carrying 'thinking', and then gathered it into a lake; and the new mist represents 'physical power' that can be consumed.

When there are strict boundaries between 'vitality' and physical strength, new changes will occur.

Next, it is time to proceed to the sixth step, grafting your own thinking consciousness onto the meditating body.

Fundamentally, the purpose of the research is not to reproduce the microscopic structure of the body as it is, but to 'cultivate' mental power through 'visualization'. Therefore, the focus is on 'belief', as long as you let yourself believe when 'visualizing'

'The body is composed of cells' and 'each cell has spiritual attributes', then 'visualization' can be established.

During the casting process, as he inputs his physical strength into the magic crystal, a new 'perspective' appears.

Mental power is in fact 'nothingness', which cannot be observed or verified; at the same time, it has empirical 'reality' and affects reality through 'imagination'.

In reality, the body feels fatigue. The degree is roughly close to the feeling of being tired like a dog in the past life of human beings.

In other words, ‘brain supplementation’ is the key to taking shortcuts.

After a moment of thinking, Banya had an idea for improvement.

After entering the meditative state again, he controlled the mist to gather together, forming a blue lake, which was quietly deposited at the bottom of the space; then, there was another mist that was much thinner than before, and gradually formed on the surface of the lake.

Compared with the tranquility of the lake, this layer of mist is much more lively and churning, bringing a sense of reality to the illusory space.

First, half of the newly formed fog disappeared out of thin air.

With some energy, he tried to cast the spell again.

The second change made him smile excitedly despite the bursts of fatigue caused by continuous spell casting.

The same is true for the space constructed by spiritual power.

The so-called 'thinking grafting' is not as mysterious as imagined. Basically, it relies on deception and self-hypnosis to make oneself believe that the 'visual body' is the starting point of one's own consciousness at all levels of consciousness. For him now

, it is not difficult to do this. After isolating most external disturbances during deep meditation, you can achieve this requirement relatively easily in the depths of self-awareness.

As we all know, 'stamina' can be replenished, so from now on, at least when using low-level magic crystals to cast spells, as long as you are careful, your lifespan will not be shortened. Although mages who use 'stamina' to cast spells always feel a little different.

Specifically in practice, Banya imagined a "meditation space" based on "visualizing the body" that is mutually external and internal.

"Well, it feels like it's not perfect enough. Let me think about what's missing."

Moreover, this kind of 'I'm thinking' incidentally solves the fifth step, which is the stage of 'giving mental power attributes from the body to the cells'. In other words, it combines the three, four and five steps through 'brain supplementation'.

merged to some extent.

Perhaps during previous meditation, he had determined the concept that "the body and its extensions are the carrier of spiritual power", so his "perception" also had a new observation dimension at this moment.

In other words, Blade Ya finally gained the means to 'observe' the inside of the magic crystal.

Note 1: The existing need refers to the need for a meditation structure that can accommodate the body, organs, cells, and mental power at the same time.

Note 2: The room for the future means that, on the one hand, Benya is not sure whether mental power really exists, so he is left with 'experiential reality'; on the other hand, he is not sure whether 'mental power' can be separated.

The body is therefore expressed as 'the body and its extensions are its carrier.'. If spiritual power is proven to exist in the future, then the two concepts of 'empirical reality' and 'body and its extensions' given now will

Become the so-called 'margin'.
