Very reasonable cultivation

Tian Zhen sighed. He didn't expect that a little girl would see through his little plan. Was it really that obvious?

Tian Zhen, who was ignorant and somewhat lost, left the competition venue as Elder Fu spoke. As soon as he arrived at the audience stands, he was surrounded.

"Fellow Daoist Tian..."

"Brother Tian..."

"I am..."

"I am..."

"I'll go first..."

"I'll go first..."

Everyone crowded around, and Tian Zhen suddenly felt overwhelmed, so he slipped away as a courtesy. He shot straight up into the sky, made a 90-degree turn, broke the sound barrier, and left the stands.

Everyone exclaimed in amazement, saying that this was a genius. Such speed made those of them who were in the Qi training stage feel extremely embarrassed. Was this still the Qi training stage?

It's not that he didn't give them face. To be honest, he was actually a little happy inside. It's just that there were too many people, and the questions they asked were all based on their own cognition and descriptions. His brain couldn't wrap its head around it and froze. After all, if he wanted to answer them, he would have to understand what they were describing one by one. I guess Superman would be like this here.

He had to leave this place and go back, otherwise he would have planned to go and see Da Zhuang.

After returning to the edge of the cliff, Tian Zhen began to explore carefully based on today's harvest.

First, he grew larger, reaching a maximum height of nearly twenty meters. After using the universal storage device to measure his height, he began to use the magnifying function of his one-eyed eye to observe the epidermal tissue cells. The resonance of the unity of essence, energy, and spirit amplified the interaction between cells and even smaller substances. His cells were also enlarged, his strength increased, and his energy consumption increased by about twenty times.

When it becomes smaller, the speed of reaction becomes much faster while the digestion of essence and energy remains unchanged.

Then there's this spell that has some hint of virtual reality. The level of magic used by the little girl is to restrict the soul to a chain of emotional memories. If the soul is powerful, or if the person unfortunately encounters schizophrenia, this spell will be ineffective.

But if we expand the scope of the memory chain of this spell, wouldn't that be true virtual reality?

I can't use my own brain to conduct experiments. Moreover, creating virtual scenes in my own memory is no different from dreaming. This is a far cry from the concept of virtual reality. The concept of virtual reality is to create a virtual scene.

So the question is, what is memory and how does it construct the scenes we perceive?

Humans can remember things through their eyes, ears, mouth, nose, body sensations, and other senses, which are all transferred to the brain through different resonant organs and stored. The yang emitted by other things builds up our cognitive scenes through the brain.

The difficulty lies in our cognition. From the moment we are born, we have no knowledge of scenes and things until the concept of "I" in these scenes forms a closed loop, and then we have some cognitive memory.

Tian Zhen took out copper and other materials from the universal storage device. This copper is really very useful, and he also became a loyal believer of copper.

In an instant, a palm-sized copper ball was refined.

He held the copper and tested its feel; it was quite heavy. He began to "inject" small amounts of Qi into it, attempting to create a resonant fulcrum between the copper's own Qi and his own, then adding in external Qi. This would create a resonant information loop, essentially transforming this resonant information into a closed loop through the Five Elements' shifts favoring the metal element.

Tian Zhen had his own method of inputting the external information. His eyes glowed as he stared at the copper ball, staring the information of an image into it. It was a simple white one, and he stared at it several times in a row.

After making preparations, Tian Zhen sat cross-legged on the ground, achieving a state of unity of essence, energy and spirit, with his mind and soul at peace and his energy replenishing his essence, which is commonly known as "sleeping".

When the soul is at rest, it resonates with the surrounding natural environment. Therefore, before "sleeping", he had been concentrating on the feeling of the qi in the copper ball. Now, he needed to use the remaining qi within him, using his own resting soul to resonate with the qi within, and "draw" the several resonant points within into a closed "circle".

A white light, a white world devoid of anything. Tian Zhen was stunned for a long moment, unable to react. Who was he? Why was he here? What was he doing here? He had no body, and his mind was empty.

He stayed here for an unknown amount of time before he remembered what he was here for.

It seemed the resonance of Qi and spirit had achieved a closed-loop balance within the copper sphere. His consciousness surveyed the white space and discovered his thoughts were unaffected. Like a lucid dream, he could clearly sense the sensations of his own body outside. He created his own body within it based on this sensory information. Given Tian Zhen's sense of balance, his body composition was not much different from reality.

His toes lightly touched the white void, and the earth quickly stretched out with it as the center. Gravity then became apparent. When he stood on the ground, he looked around and saw green grass, trees, and mountains rising from the ground. There was wind, sky, clouds, and sun.

Looking at this world, Tian Zhen felt it was very fake. Many things did not interact with each other. The most obvious thing was the sun's connection to all things. Its heat was only connected to Tian Zhen. No, it should be that all the movements here were only connected to Tian Zhen through various senses.

Alas, it was a bit disappointing. Touching the soil on the ground, the texture felt exactly the same, but outside of Tian Zhen's vision and other senses, the material wouldn't react. Even these changes were within expectations, with no novel changes at all. Ultimately, it was created based on my own memory, and it was far from reality.

This idea doesn't seem to work. Many conditions are missing. This world lacks a similar resonance factor. The fact that this virtual world can exist is because it is constructed by his soul closed loop. If he leaves here, he will only return to his own Yin closed loop. Naturally, the virtual world will not exist.

Tian Zhen woke up and took the copper ball in his hand and had to put it into the universal storage container.

He has no idea now, so he can only wait and see.

It was almost dusk when Tian Zhen saw Da Zhuang slowly returning on his flying donkey. Then, he heard the devastating news: Da Zhuang had lost, eliminated from the final match. This shocked Tian Zhen. Who could possibly beat Da Zhuang? How could it be possible? Da Zhuang had already reached the Perfect Qi Refining stage.

The "genius of Zhengqi Peak" that Dazhuang mentioned was Li Yunfeng, another cultivator who had reached the Perfect Qi Refining stage. His magic was unpredictable and difficult to defend against. He spun like a spinning top, his speed so dizzying that it was impossible to make out his features. His movement speed was so astonishing that Dazhuang's lightning strikes seemed to strike the air, unable to hit him at all.

After just two blows, Dazhuang's spirit and energy were almost shattered, and he was completely confused. If Li Yunfeng hadn't stopped in time, Dazhuang would have fainted on the spot. When Dazhuang finally woke up, he admitted his defeat.

"Oh my god." Tian Zhen was stunned and shocked. Was it really that terrifying? Defeated in just two moves? Tian Zhen knew Da Zhuang's level. Was this guy called Li Yufeng really that powerful? He really wanted to see for himself. The more mysterious Da Zhuang's description, the more interested he became.
