Chapter 49: Chapter 47: Breakthrough, Thunder Power Greatly Enhanced, New Realm!
"Traditional Chinese medicine is not like Western medicine, where everything is proven and quantified."
"Traditional Chinese medicine is more like philosophy, it involves the predecessors’ summaries of their own body consciousness, which allows people to think!"
"Moreover..."
"Didn’t I originally comprehend Yin and Yang Qi by using the core principles of traditional Chinese medicine to understand and thereby visualize two unknown forces, eventually making my palm generate electricity?"
The more Lin Beichen thought about it, the more he felt that traditional Chinese medicine might be the direction of medical research he needed to study the human body. He then took out his phone and quickly searched, soon determining the major he wanted to pursue—Traditional Chinese Medicine.
On the first day of the Traditional Chinese Medicine course, Basics of Traditional Chinese Medicine!
He glanced at the passionate professional course instructor on the podium and, taking advantage of her inattention, left the classroom quickly through the back door without a trace of reluctance, heading straight to the Traditional Chinese Medicine class.
"The human meridian system is divided into meridians, collateral channels, twelve regular meridians, twelve muscle regions, and twelve skin areas..."
The instructor of the Traditional Chinese Medicine course was unhurriedly explaining the basics of traditional Chinese medicine—meridians to the students.
Lin Beichen walked in quietly from the back door, found a seat in a corner, and sat down without attracting anyone’s attention.
At this moment, on the multimedia projection screen.
It showed a full-body diagram of the human meridian points, divided into front and back views, with the body’s organs, meridians, and points detailedly labeled!
Comparing these diagrams and listening to the professional course instructor, he instantly caught up with the progress.
"Right now, we are discussing the Stomach Meridian."
"Now we’ve moved on to the Lung Meridian."
"..."
Lin Beichen listened very attentively, more so than the freshmen of the Traditional Chinese Medicine major. But by the time he listened to the second lecture, only a few minutes remained before class would end, yet he still hadn’t gained any insight, feeling no sense of enlightenment.
"Does traditional Chinese medicine not help me either?"
"Could it be..."
"That studying the human body through medicine is truly ineffective?"
Lin Beichen began to reflect and summarize.
Just then.
The professional course instructor said, "The liver governs free coursing, liver qi moves smoothly, the qi mechanism is unobstructed..."
At the same time.
The focus was placed on the liver and its meridians and acupoints on the human meridian diagram projected on the screen.
In an instant!
All surrounding sounds seemed to disappear into thin air.
His vision became more and more blurred.
Until...
All he could see before him was the key content marked on the meridian diagram!
"How similar!"
The more Lin Beichen looked, the more he felt that the part of the key content marked out was very close to the route imagined in "Illusion Becomes Reality" for the Thunder Element to be activated and guided, but not exactly the same.
The imagined route corresponded to the human meridians and acupoints, which were relatively complex and cumbersome. For several acupoints, the human meridians were a straight path, but the imagined route was winding, filled with obstacles!
"Could it be that..."
"The imagined route in ’Illusion Becomes Reality’ corresponds to the human meridians?"
"And the ’swollen’ feeling previously experienced corresponds to the liver in the human body..."
"So everything imagined actually has traces in the body?"
"Could it be that everything imagined in ’Illusion Becomes Reality’ is a projection of the real body’s state?"
Lin Beichen’s thoughts overflowed!
He felt like he was about to comprehend everything!
But soon...
He discovered a problem.
"If the previous speculation is correct."
"Then..."
"It would be wrong to think that the Electric Element is not just in imagination but also exists in the body. The Electric Element shouldn’t be in the body, it’s something else, but what is it?"
Lin Beichen tried to sense something at the position of the liver but felt nothing.
At that moment.
A flash of inspiration erupted in his mind!
Another enlightenment!
"The Electric Element is the Electric Element!"
"It doesn’t need a counterpart!"
"The Electric Element imagined is the Electric Element in the body, they are not separate but unified!"
Upon this thought.
Lin Beichen suddenly sensed his entire liver filled with the feeling of the Electric Element!
"The Electric Element!"
He didn’t know why he could suddenly sense the Electric Element.
Enlightenment is existence?
Without enlightenment, there is no existence?
But this was not important; the important thing was that he sensed it!
The location of the previous ’swelling’ corresponded to the liver, and the guiding route corresponded to the meridians.
Everything was ready...
Just need to find the Thunder Element to move the imagination into the real body for experimentation!
Now the Thunder Element has arrived!
"Let’s give it a try!"
Lin Beichen was eager to operate the imagined set within his body!
He concentrated his attention on the location of his liver.
About to ponder how to move the sensed Electric Element in the liver.
Naturally...
Where the mind willed, the Electric Element moved with the heart!
"It can work!"
A good start is half the battle!
This gave Lin Beichen great confidence!
He recalled the imaginary route, compared it with the just-understood human meridians and acupoints, and began moving the Electric Element!
"The starting point should be the Zhangmen point in the Liver Meridian of the Foot Jueyin, then rising to the Qimen point, the highest point of the Liver Meridian of the Foot Jueyin!"
"But..."
"Here it could obviously directly switch to the Lung Meridian of the Hand Taiyin by connecting Qimen with Zhongfu, but the imaginary route has many more meridians, seeming disordered, yet finally arriving at the Zhongfu point?"
Lin Beichen hesitated for just an instant, then decided to follow the human meridians to move the Electric Element, since the route finally reached the Zhongfu point, what mattered how it got there?
"Anyway, this is just a trial!"
"If it fails, I’ll follow the imagined route next time!"
He moved the Electric Element directly from the Qimen point to the Zhongfu point, but soon encountered the same issue.
"The Zhongfu point could switch directly to the Jiquan point of the Heart Meridian of Hand Shaoyin, but there are many meridians on the route again, finally reaching the Jiquan point!"
This time, Lin Beichen didn’t hesitate; if the choice was wrong once, so be it. It didn’t make sense to not choose directly reaching the Jiquan point from Zhongfu.
He moved the Electric Element directly to the Jiquan point.
Afterwards, he encountered the same situation a few more times.
Each time, he chose the simplest route without hesitation.
Until...
The Electric Element reached the palm!
Under his expectant gaze.
"Dada...dada...!!"
With a series of extremely clear crackling sounds, his palm generated electricity!
This time...
It was real electricity, visible to the naked eye!
Strands of electric arcs, like those produced by a stun baton, blue-white, slender, curved, and jumping!
Dense enough to fill the entire palm!
"Has the power...increased?!"
"Succeeded???"
Lin Beichen couldn’t believe the arcs in his palm. This time it was seen with his eyes, not just felt!
As long as the arcs were visible, it indirectly proved their power!
Happiness came too suddenly!
So sudden, he felt surreal!
At this moment, he also had a new enlightenment!
"Generating electricity in the palm through imagination means subconsciously controlling the Electric Element to ambiguously reach the palm because it was unconscious, entirely using the feeling feedback from the Electric Element to guide it, not precisely, which is why the imagined route differs from the actual body’s meridian and acupoint path, mainly at crucial turning points!"
"But now, I have moved from imagination back to reality, controlling the Electric Element’s every step in the body entirely clear, all the simplest and most correct routes, thus the final result is the generated electricity in the palm being stronger, with no waste, all gathering in the palm!"
With this thought, his mind inexplicably filled with ideas again.
"In this light, everything imagined wasn’t really ’false’, but rather in the light of Heaven-Defying Comprehension, temporarily incomprehensible or ungraspable things were blurred into something acceptable, hence appearing ’false’."
"Perhaps this is why I alone have a unique method!"
"Only I possess Heaven-Defying Comprehension!"
"No need to say more, just consider the Electric Element, no one has grasped it, yet it isn’t within human recognition of power, and how can one create a ’method’ for an uncomprehended force?"
"Only I have the opportunity to transform ’true’ into ’false’, through imagination, achieving yet unmastered feats, even if the completeness was minimal!"
"And now..."
"I should have made a breakthrough!"
"Completing the transformation from ’false’ to ’true’!"
Lin Beichen realized that his palm’s electric power increase was not just an improvement in power but involved deeper changes!
"Thus..."
"This realm should be called the Reverse Truth Realm!"
