Just what is it?
"Brain mutation? No!"
"Treasure?" With a thought, I scan my entire body before copying it into a 3-D model, It projects the 3-D model in front of my eyes which slowly rotates clockwise.
"What was that mysterious energy?" I had subconsciously used some hidden energy within my body, but I cant find it yet, throwing it to the back of my mind I look at the model in front of me.
I see every thing down to my very genes, Where are my genes? are they the genes of this world? I don't recall the genes functioning this way, very interesting.
From my quick analysis, Physique Cultivation manuals which train your body actually change the way your genes function.
You cant just change genes around with technology or they would collapse unlike my old world, It seems you have to fuse your own Dao into your body to change them without making them collapse.
"wait, I'm getting sidetracked" I continue scanning my body for any foreign objects.
Although I can see several new forces inside my body that didn't exist on earth, but from my understanding and some precise calculations I know they are supposed to be here and each and every person of this world has them.
"No, I cant find anything that shouldn't be here...whats that?"
Looking at the 3-D model infront of me, I zoom into the area of the brain. A large amount of energy is stored at the centre, its a light blue colour.
"Its not saint force" I saw small traces of saint force within the core of my heart and it was a white milky colour.
"I can only remember seeing an old book mentioning mental energy, but almost no one is able to perceive it so not much is known"
"Why so much mental energy? I haven't even cultivated it?" puzzled, I magnify the brain further until I reach a tiny black hole sitting at the centre of my mind.
Seeing the black hole radiating blue energy I recall something from earth, an outrageous theory.
"The Mind Palace theory is correct?" Shock hits me hard.
The Mind palace is a theoretical space that exists in every living creature with a soul, it determines how intelligent you are while allowing you to understand concepts that others are unable to.
It was said Einstein had opened 1/100 of his mind palace's gateway allowing him to see and understand things no one else could.
It cant be detected by any means while the majority of scientists deny its existence entirely. The creator of the Mind palace theory was called Jean Hill.
"Jean hill? isn't he one of the co creators of the Ai system implant?"
"So he used the A.I system implants to do secret experiments into the mind palaces of the populace without their knowledge! this would be outrageous if anyone on earth were to find out" annoyance soon hits me.
I was an orphan and before the operation I was asked to sign a contract that says they wouldn't be liable for any accidents during the operation.
The reason I died is because the experiment failed.
"Ah well, what's done is done"
"But according to the theory, to access the Mind Palace you need to create a gate way, this black sphere should be the connection point between the brain and the mind palace"
"So the A.I chip was a convenient cover while the true experiment was to try and open the mind palace of the people" putting on a wry smile I can only lament my bad luck.
With a thought, My perception changes as I enter the gate-way. I look around the model and see I've entered a small space filled with bright blue lines stretching far off into space.
These lines are all connected to each other creating clusters of webs, Its a surreal picture, just as beautiful as the galaxy clusters of the universe.
"Hmm?" Upon closer inspection this space is actually split into different layers, there is a barrier between each layer.
"If we go from the contents of jean hills theory then the closer you are to opening the mind palace, the easier it is to understand concepts"
"I myself seems to have fully unlocked the mind palace, the source of all potential!"
"following this reasoning, isnt this worlds Dao just another form of concept?" continuing on with this train of thought, I recall the contents of Blue feather slash.
Its the lowest ranked mortal martial skill that can be bought from most shops, its cheap in comparison to other martial skills.
Its a widespread martial art that's learned in most academies across the kingdom to find talented youths who they can coax into their subordinates.
Martial skills have several stages of comprehension, they are;
Initial stage, basic stage, advanced stage, peak stage and lastly boundary stage which surpasses the creator of the technique.
The ex-host had aweful comprehension for martial arts and only cultivated to the 5th stage of the Martial apprentice realm after 10 years while reaching the initial stage of blue feather slash after a three years.
Reading the concept of blue feather slash, I slowly control my mind palace and try to activate my potential.
Its difficult to control the energy as I don't have much practice, but I do manage to gather a small amount.
Very soon I can feel a small flow of mental energy begin to flow from the Mind palace before fusing with my brain.
Its like someone whos been blind all their life see's colour for the first time, so many concepts which were impossible to understand now seem obvious.
My comprehension immediately speeds up as I read the entirety of the 5000 word martial skill within moments, I seem to have grasped the entire creators concept.
Grabbing a wooden sword by the desk I begin to display the martial skill.
I take it slow first by doing practice swings to get used to this new body, quickly I begin to grasp the ex-hosts initial comprehension.
Using my new talent, I begin simulating the blue feather slash and optimizing it for me. Each swing I get better results.
Once again getting into a stance, this time I use the stored saint force within my astral core.
Immediately I feel my body become lighter as I break through from the initial stage into the basic stage of blue feather slash.
I don't stop here, I continue slashing with saint force, after 10minutes of swinging I have an idea.
"What would happen if I were to fuse mental energy and saint force into my swings?" At the thought of this I cant help but test it out.
"I still have half my Saint force left"
Getting into a stance, I send a small amount of mental energy and have it channel into my wooden sword as I slash out.
The moment my Saint Force and mental energy touch, the saint force scatters before vanishing completely.
Stunned, I can only watch in horror as I lose control of my mental energy, it begins to run wild as it sends a huge amount into my strike.
Unable to stop the attack midway or face a serious backlash, I follow through with the slash.
Whooooooooooooosh!
I can hear the air slice apart as my wooden sword travels in an arc before stopping. The moment the attack stops I feel the wooden blade in my had collapse.
Boom!
The room shakes a little as the energy collides with the wall at the end of my room, luckily the power had weakened as it travelled, only leaving a small scratch on the wood.
Kacha!
The wooden sword in my hand turns to dust as it scatters onto the floor. I also notice I've broken through from basic stage into the advanced stage of blue feather slash.
"This" swalling saliva, I let out a few words.
"This is godly comprehension, absolutely top tier!" holding back my urge to laugh, I feel a little tired.
Looking at my 3-D model on the interface, I see the white cloud of energy at the centre of my heart has dried up.
While the blue cloud at the centre of my brain has almost vanished with just a tiny dot that shows theres a small amount left.
