Increase upgrade attribute points and remove class restrictions.

These two points are unique changes that can be easily understood at a glance.

After changing jobs, not only these two areas changed, but the remaining changes are not immediately obvious.

The remaining two changes are the addition of the magic attribute and the Senra Contemplation Method.

You can see this by opening the data panel:

Name: Chen Baiyu

[Race: Human]

[Titles: Taste Martyr lv2, Wealth Apprentice, Wealth Servant, Outlaw]

【Level: 5】

[Class: All-Encompassing Returnee (Current upgrade bonus to Freedom Attribute: 1.5)]

[Skills: Senluo Visualization Technique, Dragonborn Incarnation Stage I (Active), Divine Sense (Active), Intuition Lv1 (Passive)]

[Physical Fitness: 7.5] (1 point is determined after system testing, representing the average level that ordinary human beings can reach through training)

[Spirit: 7.5] (1 point is determined by the system detection and represents the average level that the human race can reach through training.)

[Magic power: 99.995/100]

[Experience value: 0/600]

Under the two attributes of Constitution and Spirit, there is now an additional attribute called [Magic Power].

Literally speaking, this means he has an additional energy system, which is probably the same as the magic that drives magic in many fantasy works.

According to Taoist and fantasy novels.

His current personal list contains all three attributes: essence, energy, and spirit, which makes him quite comprehensive.

"Essence" can be compared to the "Constitution" attribute in Chen Baiyu's panel, which is the foundation of physical strength, vitality, and endurance.

"Qi" can be compared to the newly added [Magic] attribute in Chen Baiyu's panel; it is a fluid energy that can drive "spells" or life activities.

The "God" attribute perfectly corresponds to the "Spirit" attribute in Chen Baiyu's panel, representing perception, thinking, willpower, and control.

In the profound and extensive Taoist philosophy and cultivation system, "essence," "qi," and "spirit" are regarded as the three fundamental elements constituting life activities, the core of human life, and the cornerstone of cultivation.

These three elements do not exist in isolation, but rather form an organic whole that is interdependent, mutually transformative, and progressively advances. The core of Taoism's pursuit of longevity and immortality lies in cultivating these three elements.

And after acquiring the attribute of magic.

Chen Baiyu also immediately experienced the special feeling of being in perfect harmony with his spirit and energy.

He closed his eyes and focused his mind, immersing all his consciousness into his body.

With a mental attribute of 7.5, I can now roughly introspect my own spiritual sense and carefully experience the earth-shattering changes brought about by this job change.

What he felt first was not an overwhelming force, but an unprecedented sense of "wholeness".

It was as if a container with an invisible flaw had been quietly filled in, and a sense of harmony and clarity permeated from the deepest part of life.

in his perception.

The nascent primordial spirit is not a physical entity, but rather a core of condensed consciousness, the source and manifestation of his spiritual attributes. At this moment, it is still very fragile and indistinct, and its existence can only be barely perceived.

Between that hazy, indistinct "primordial spirit" that resembled a warm, misty light and his real, flesh-and-blood "physical body" that had undergone rigorous training.

A peculiar energy is flowing in an incredibly natural and harmonious way.

This energy is cool and gentle, neither hot nor cold. It is not statically stored in the lower abdomen, the place where internal energy gathers in traditional martial arts.

Instead, it is distributed and permeated evenly in every minute corner of the physical body and the embryonic form of the primordial spirit in an extremely subtle way.

Everywhere, in every detail.

This is magic.

It was the initial magic power that the system bestowed upon him after he changed his job to "The One Who Returns to the Source of All Laws," a full 100 points.

Unlike the internal energy described in novels, which is concentrated in the meridians, or the magical power, which is gathered in the core of magic, its form of existence is more advanced and peculiar, as if it is itself a part of its "existence", perfectly intertwined with the essence and spirit.

Chen Baiyu can "see".

Or rather, it can be perceived through an inner spiritual awareness that transcends sight.

The hazy nascent form of the primordial spirit was like a miniature nebula, naturally emitting extremely subtle magical light spots every moment. These light spots did not spray out randomly, but rather, as if they had a life of their own, they were precisely and evenly sprinkled on every inch of the skin, every muscle fiber, every bone, and even every tiny cell of the body.

This process is silent and unnoticed, yet it is full of the vitality of the beginning of life.

Then, something even more amazing happened.

The magical light spots that seeped into the depths of the body did not dissipate after nourishing the body; instead, as if they had completed their mission, they began to slowly flow back from the deepest part of the body.

They are like rivers flowing into the sea, converging once again into the nascent form of the primordial spirit along countless invisible, subtle paths.

In this way, a perfect and internally circulating energy flow is formed: it originates from the spirit and nourishes the essence; it returns from the essence and warms the spirit.

It goes on and on, endlessly.

This cycle gave him an extremely comfortable and powerful feeling.

Just like in martial arts novels, masters circulate their internal energy throughout their bodies, constantly tempering themselves.

Chen Baiyu could clearly feel that his physical body was undergoing extremely subtle optimization and maintenance every moment under the continuous immersion of this magic.

Muscle fibers become more flexible and powerful, cell vitality is maintained at a peak state, and even minor injuries and fatigue that may have been left in the past are quietly soothed and repaired by this gentle energy.

His spirit was also bathed in this cycle. Under the nurturing of the returning magic, the nascent form of his primordial spirit seemed to solidify into an extremely tiny wisp of light. The most direct effect was that his thinking had never been so clear and thorough, his attention was as focused as a hawk, and his thoughts moved several times faster.

A sense of spiritual fulfillment arises spontaneously.

he realized.

Even if you don't know the deeper applications of magic.

The natural circulation of magic alone acts as a lubricant and maintainer, allowing his mental and physical state to remain at an optimal level almost forever, making him feel fatigued.

He also keenly sensed that magic was not entirely without loss during this perfect internal cycle.

Each time the primordial spirit disperses into the physical body and then flows back from the physical body to the primordial spirit, the total amount decreases by an extremely small, almost imperceptible amount.

You'll see this if you look at your personal panel.

There are indeed changes in magic power values ​​accurate to three decimal places.

Magic power can indeed be depleted.

A kind of intuition, not from the cold prompts of the system, but from a deeper understanding of the essence of life after the perfection of one's own essence, energy, and spirit, was telling him the truth about this depletion:

This part of the magic is used to meet the body's most basic energy metabolism needs, replacing some of the functions of the "acquired essence" that originally needed to be obtained from food.

The other part is used to compensate for the natural "wear and tear" that occurs in the process of "God" thinking, perceiving, and existing; it is a kind of maintenance and preservation of the primordial spirit.

In other words, this magical energy is fundamentally replacing his need for external material energy (food) while simultaneously maintaining the stability and growth of his spiritual essence!
This discovery deeply shocked Chen Baiyu.

what does this mean?
This means that he has found the energy source to fuel his body, and he will no longer need to rely on the simple act of eating to replenish his energy.

This means that he may be able to gradually reduce his dependence on ordinary food, and may even have reached the so-called "living on qi" level!

and.

Although that inexplicable perception was not explicitly stated, a logical deduction exploded in his mind: a physical body and primordial spirit that could be continuously maintained, repaired, and kept at their peak, with a more advanced and direct energy source.

How could its "lifespan" not be extended?
life!

His lifespan must have been extended as a result!
Even if the extension is still negligible now, as the magic power increases, this nourishing effect will likely become stronger and stronger, and his life form is undergoing a fundamental leap!

A complex mix of emotions flashed across Chen Baiyu's eyes.

Longevity and long life are among the ultimate pursuits of Taoist cultivation.

Surprisingly, after his career change, only a small part of the iceberg was revealed in such a data-driven form.

Anyone in this situation would be unable to remain calm.

However, Chen Baiyu's mood was truly unaffected at this moment.

At first, it might have been quite shocking.

But it subsided almost immediately.

As he had anticipated.

Immortality is inevitable; it's just a matter of sooner or later it will be achieved.

Furthermore, his high mental attribute of 7.5 makes him sufficiently rational and calm.

Set aside his excitement. At this moment, what occupied his entire mind was a more practical and urgent question: How could he replenish this magic that sustained his life, nourished his essence, energy, and spirit, and foreshadowed an infinite future? And how could its upper limit be expanded?
These questions were answered as soon as they arose.

Chen Baiyu looked at the "Senluo Visualization Method" in the skill bar of his personal data panel. The system had clearly stated that this thing could increase magic power.

Unlike other skills that have active or passive indicators, "Senra Kansho no Soma" does not have any such markings.

Because, to be precise, it's not a skill.

It is itself a method of spiritual practice, and it is stored in his consciousness in a form that is neither written nor visual.

It is not a self-defense technique.

It's very different from other skills.

This is the fundamental difference between law and technique.

Its essence transcends the mundane; it is not the "technique" of "using" power, but the "method" of "generating" power and "strengthening" the origin!
"Law" is the root, the path, the blueprint for the energy engine and the production line itself.

"Technique" refers to application, approach, and the method of using an engine to drive various machines.

Without "law," "technique" is like water without a source, a tree without roots. No matter how many wonderful techniques one possesses, once the magic power is exhausted, one becomes a lamb to the slaughter. But possessing powerful "law" allows one to continuously generate abundant "qi," at which point any "technique" in one's hands can unleash earth-shattering power with endless sustainability.

The "Senluo Visualization Method" is a Dharma gate.

Therefore, there is no distinction between active and passive, and there are no restrictions on mana cost, cooldown, duration, or number of uses for skills.

While thinking.

As Chen Baiyu immersed himself in the "Senluo Contemplation Method," a state of divine enlightenment immediately took hold of him, making him feel as if he had practiced it hundreds or thousands of times, skillfully controlling his primordial spirit to immerse itself in a deeper dimension.

this moment.

He felt as if he had entered the deepest part of his own soul.

There is no darkness here.

It was as if there was nothing at all.

Or rather, there isn't even a concept of "emptiness".

With the help of divine wisdom, Chen Baiyu understood what he needed to do at this moment.

The so-called "Senluo Visualization Method" is to visualize anything deep in one's mind, outline its appearance and form, perceive its power and rules, and construct its entirety and everything.

Power will emerge in this process.

Chen Baiyu didn't know what to visualize.

His first thought was of the blazing sun high overhead at noon.

That's what's most noticeable at this moment.

It is also one of the most prominent objects in the entire history of human civilization.

Chen Baiyu's mind stirred slightly.

That blazing sun suddenly leaped out from the depths of his empty heart!

This is not the gentle sun we see through the atmosphere in the real world, so it is not as dazzling and scorching as when we look directly at it with the naked eye.

This is a visualization he created using the "Senluo Visualization Method" as a starting point, his own divine consciousness as a pen, and his understanding of the concept of "sun" as ink, to be closer to its original power.

It is enormous.

It occupied most of the "field of vision," and its entire body presented an indescribable, pure, and extremely white-gold light. At its core, there was even a faint glimmer of a chaotic color intertwined with creation and destruction.

Boundless light and heat burst forth from it, but the "heat" was not scorching, but a pure energy that could melt away all impurities and burn away all illusions; the "light" was not dazzling, but an absolute light that could illuminate the deepest corners of the soul and dispel all confusion.

The instant the visualized sun appeared, Chen Baiyu's entire "mental space" was completely illuminated and filled...

His consciousness.

His consciousness was formed from his 7.5 mental attribute.

Before this sun, which is clearly perceived by one's own consciousness, one feels as insignificant as a speck of dust.

An indescribable, immense pressure descended instantly, as if to completely evaporate and assimilate his insignificant consciousness. It was a profound awe stemming from the most fundamental level of life, a direct worship of the universe's might.

This was probably due to the effect of the "Senra Visualization Method," which helped him visualize such a colossal object.

The profound mystery of the "Senluo Contemplation Method" is also revealed at this moment. It does not force the practitioner to resist this great power, but rather operates naturally, adjusting the frequency of Chen Baiyu's consciousness so that it does not resist, but attempts to "resonate", to "understand", and to subtly "simulate" the endless radiance and vast laws emitted by the sun.

Chen Baiyu kept his mind focused.

Forcibly suppressing the burning, oppressive pain, I immersed my entire consciousness in the "feeling" of this visualized sun.

He felt how the light penetrated everything, how the heat ignited all things, and the immense kinetic energy and the principles of creation contained within the seemingly eternal nuclear fusion at its core…

Just as he began to sense the rhythm of the sun's radiance and slowly practiced the "Senluo Contemplation Method" according to this rhythm, a wondrous change occurred.

It was as if a small hole had suddenly been breached in a dam, or as if a radio had finally been tuned to a powerful frequency.

A pure, fiery, and strange energy, full of vitality and destructive power, seemed to seep out from nothingness, crossing the boundary between reality and mind, and continuously flowing into his nascent primordial spirit!
This energy is completely different from the gentle magic of his own cycle; it is more violent, purer, and more "active".

As soon as it enters, it is immediately transformed and refined by the all-encompassing nature of the "Senluo Contemplation Method," stripping away its intense external appearance.

Extract the most fundamental energy essence and then integrate it into his own magical cycle system.

Chen Baiyu could clearly "see" that the [Magic Power: 99.995/100] on the panel, which had been depleted due to internal circulation, began to jump and quickly recovered to 100/100. But this was far from over!
The primordial power drawn from the visualization, originating from the concept of the sun, did not stop after replenishing its consumption. Instead, it began to seep into the deepest part of his nascent primordial spirit and physical body, as if it were undergoing a deeper level of "tempering" and "expansion".

【魔力：100/100】→【魔力：100/100.001】→【100/100.003】……

The ceiling is rising!
Slow but steady!

Moreover, he could sense that the newly expanded upper limit of magic power seemed to carry an extremely faint trace of the sun's radiant righteousness and scorching characteristics, making it more condensed and of higher quality.

Time loses its meaning in this profound contemplation.

It might be just a moment, or it might take several hours.

When Chen Baiyu felt a sense of "fullness" in his consciousness, and although his mind was still clear, it was no longer suitable for him to maintain this high-intensity state of visualization, he slowly withdrew from the "Senluo Visualization Method".

He was slightly dazed for a moment when he opened his eyes.

The sky in the mountains and forests had already darkened, and the afterglow of the setting sun had almost completely sunk below the horizon. A thin mist and coolness of night began to permeate the mountains and forests.

He actually meditated for an entire afternoon!
However, perhaps because he was too immersed in it, he didn't realize it himself.

At that moment, he felt warm all over.

There was no fatigue or chill from sitting for a long time; on the contrary, I felt energetic and refreshed.

It felt like I had taken a wonderful, high-quality nap, and my whole body was full of energy.

The magic power within his body circulated continuously, not only restoring the total amount to its full potential, but also significantly increasing its upper limit.

A thought struck him, and he opened the panel:

[Magic power: 105/105]

really!

The "Senra Visualization Technique" truly has the magical effect of replenishing magic power and increasing its upper limit!

But beyond that.

A more subtle, more incredible feeling lingered in his mind.

That's a kind of...

It felt as if I had grasped a part of the rules of the world.

In the process of visualizing the sun and practicing the "Senra Visualization Method," he not only absorbed energy, but also seemed to briefly "touch" the surface of "light" and "heat," the two fundamental laws that constitute the world.

Although it was only a fraction of a billionth of the fur, the sensation was unmistakably imprinted deep within his consciousness.

This feeling is so mysterious and indescribable that it cannot be precisely described in words.

Chen Baiyu subconsciously raised her hand.

Looking at my slender fingers, a vague thought naturally surfaced:
Light should converge here.

No spells, no complicated gestures,

With a slight thought, following his newly acquired, faint understanding of the power of "light," he gently snapped his fingers.

"Snapped."

A crisp sound rang out clearly in the quiet mountain forest at dusk.

The next moment, a miracle happened.
