Master Consciousness

A terrifyingly colossal energy, existing beyond the multiverse of the brain hole world.

It was an indescribably massive energy, terrifyingly beyond Bai Ge's imagination.

One had to understand that the brain hole world was, in itself, Bai Ge's imaginative space. How could anything exist there that surpassed Bai Ge's imagination?

"I can't control it, this is real energy! How... how is this in my brain hole?"

Bai Ge was shocked. He said, "What else is in my brain hole that I don't know about?"

"Only it. This is the only thing that exists in your brain hole world with an unknown origin," said the bell.

"Then how do you know about it?"

"Inertia of thought."

"You mean?"

The bell explained, "I am a part of you, but the biggest difference between us is that you are an Earthling."

"Your inertia of thought dictates that beyond the multiverse in the brain hole, lies reality... so you roamed the brain hole world but never discovered or noticed this real energy, because it exists beyond the multiverse, yet within your brain hole."

"But I am different. You set me as the Great Dao, a manifestation of your subconscious plus some of your settings. I wouldn't overlook it."

Bai Ge quickly understood, "I get it, I've already shared it..."

He understood what was going on. To put it simply, this energy existed in the realm of 'non-existence.'

The multiverse was his creation, and when he arrived, there was already a universe here, which was set by his subconscious.

This inertia of thought led him to believe that the brain hole world only contained the multiverse, and he equated the two.

However, this wasn't entirely accurate, because the brain hole world was truly infinite; imagination was limitless, and so was the brain hole.

In contrast, the multiverse was different; it was relatively limited.

Yet, there was an energy outside the multiverse, and it was a product of reality. The energy was unimaginably strong, something his will could not influence.

Yes, although he could influence inanimate objects in reality, it required him to expend his physical energy.

Clearly, his physical energy was insufficient to bear the impact of influencing this terrifying energy, which was why he had no reaction or awareness of it.

It was precisely because of this that it could forcibly reside in a place Bai Ge believed didn't exist...

To put it plainly, Bai Ge's conscious mind didn't know there was a 'place' beyond the multiverse.

"Was it this that opened my brain hole..."

This was an almost obvious thought, because the mysterious energy was frighteningly immense.

"I don't know," the bell replied honestly.

"Forget it, with energy this immense, there's no way I can influence it..."

Bai Ge decided to stop thinking about it and continued to study the information.

"Your knowledge is my knowledge. In fact, any information that exists in the brain hole world, I can access... except for that energy."

"Meaning..."

In an instant, Bai Ge accessed all the knowledge he had just collected.

Soon, he solved the advanced mathematics problem, arriving at the same answer as the bell.

"I'm going to verify it..."

Bai Ge suppressed his excitement and returned to reality, searching for the answer to the problem online.

After verifying it one by one, he finally smiled.

"The answer is correct... I actually solved this kind of math problem."

It was evident that Bai Ge had discovered a great skill.

For a moment, Bai Ge's mind was racing, and he thought of many uses for this as a foundation.

Besides the conventional uses of acquiring knowledge and becoming an authority in various fields.

The greatest marvel was that he could shorten the learning process.

To give the simplest example: martial arts!

How long would it take to master a proper set of combat techniques in reality?

This duration could be decades. Even for the most gifted genius, becoming a master in just a few days would be impossible, right?

But Bai Ge could...

Because information was universally applicable in one direction...

Bai Ge began searching for information on Tai Chi on the internet, including various videos.

Of course, not some Tai Chi exercises, but genuine Chen-style Tai Chi.

Bai Ge brought it into the brain hole world.

Undoubtedly, Bai Ge and the bell instantly achieved complete mastery. They could even be said to have reached the pinnacle of skill.

Of course, this didn't mean his Tai Chi had reached a state of perfection, but rather a state of perfection based on this information, the authenticity of which was unknown.

There's no such thing as learning 80% or 90% of something; if you learn it, you learn 100%.

"Is this Chen-style Tai Chi real martial arts? How powerful is it?"

As he spoke, Bai Ge performed a set himself.

The moment he began, the entire Xianxia universe trembled.

The stars moved at his whim, and with a single Tai Chi starting stance, he stirred the vast sea of stars.

The spiritual energy in the universe returned to its source, transforming into the Four Symbols. If Bai Ge continued his set of movements, the universe might very well split into Yin and Yang, returning to chaos...

"What the heck?" Bai Ge exclaimed, immediately stopping his movements.

"Didn't I ask you to filter out random thoughts... Alright, I get it. This set of movements is actually the ultimate Sacred Path Ultimate Skill in this Xianxia universe..."

Ling Dang said, "Yes, the rules weren't tampered with again. Instead, the existing natural laws of this Xianxia universe have adapted to this set of movements, classifying it as... the ultimate technique. Your Earthling body, using this 'Sacred Path Ultimate Skill,' naturally caused this phenomenon of sweeping across the stars and reshaping the elements..."

Bai Ge gave a wry smile. In an instant, he understood the cause of the situation.

To put it bluntly, compared to reality, the universe he created was too naive...

Even though the people here could cultivate immortality, live forever, and destroy the world with a casual gesture, the truth was that the most advanced cultivation techniques in this universe were, in essence, equivalent to ordinary martial arts in the real world.

This was measured by Bai Ge himself. He had studied combat at the Police Academy, and his "level" was the highest level in this universe.

It was only because it was in a world of imagination that its manifestation could be set arbitrarily.

So, could the combat skills he practiced in school compare to Chen-style Tai Chi? Obviously, there was a huge difference.

Therefore, after real-world information invaded, the Xianxia universe adapted to Chen-style Tai Chi, manifesting it as... 'an even stronger ultimate skill, many times more powerful than the strongest ultimate skill.'

This led to the current situation.

"It seems I can't display it here. I'll have to go to reality."

Knowing he didn't have a terminal illness, coupled with activating his imagination, Bai Ge's mood improved significantly.

Early in the morning, he went to the park for his morning exercises.

He actually had a habit of morning exercise before, usually jogging and practicing grappling.

Today, however, he was practicing Tai Chi. Not the slow, gentle exercises, but the actual martial art.

"It really is real martial arts. Even though my physical condition hasn't changed, if I were to fight my past self, it would end in one move..."

Bai Ge performed the set over and over, even improvising and incorporating variations.

This was to help his body adapt to Tai Chi and develop muscle memory.

After all, his mastery was in his consciousness... as if he had spent decades diligently practicing.

But his body was still the same.

Even so, Bai Ge was confident he could take on ten people.

He was already good at fighting, and now with 'master consciousness,' he was practically a master. Moreover, Chen-style Tai Chi was probably a top-tier technique.

"My movements are much more fluid now, and there's even coordination with my breathing. After practicing for so long, I'm not tired at all; I actually feel more energized..."

Practicing repeatedly, Bai Ge felt both excited and disappointed.

He was excited, of course, because his self-preservation ability had increased significantly out of nowhere.

He was disappointed, however, that even though he had reached the pinnacle of skill, no extraordinary phenomena had occurred.

As for the true qi mentioned in novels, there wasn't even a trace of it.

The reality was that reality was just reality. This was merely a martial art that combined combat and health preservation.

"Sigh, I originally wanted to cultivate immortality..." Realizing there was no mystical side to reality, Bai Ge could only temporarily give up.

After practicing for a while and getting a feel for it, Bai Ge returned to his residence.

His residence also served as his 'office.'

There was no signboard or any form of advertising. Customers found out about 'Bai Ge's Office' solely through word-of-mouth referrals.

In short, the office wasn't very formal, and Bai Ge didn't like fame. He was content with discreetly taking money and getting the job done.

Normally, if he had nothing to do, he would have to go out and find work, taking his little notebook to see who urgently needed his help and then proactively offering his services.

However, now that Bai Ge was free from the pressure of a terminal illness, he wasn't in a hurry to take on new clients.

Instead, he had fallen in love with martial arts.

He was a martial arts enthusiast. Although he knew that such miraculous martial arts didn't exist in reality, he couldn't resist learning now that he had the chance.

Nowadays, any 'secret manual' could be found online.

If you wanted to learn a set of boxing movements, you could directly find videos.

Of course, the true essence still required guidance from a master, but Bai Ge had bypassed that.

Experience was no longer as important. Because he didn't have a gradual learning process, as long as the information was detailed enough, Bai Ge could learn anything to its fullest! To its limit!

It was either zero or 100%.

After all, in the brain hole world, there are only two things for Bai Ge: things that are set, and the setting itself.

In reality, no matter how profound advanced martial arts are, in the brain hole world, they can even destroy the universe, but so what? They are still just 'set items', not as good as the setting itself!

Cultivation techniques that slay gods are trash.

Cultivation techniques that slaughter millions of gods are just slightly better trash.

As the absolute Sovereign, complexity, difficulty, obscurity, etc., do not exist.

Because he possesses the passive ability of omniscience within the brain hole.

Of course, such exaggerated claims are limited only to the brain hole.

If he were to enter reality, those unrealistic martial arts would be worse than trash...

Therefore, if Bai Ge were to learn anything, he would only learn real-world martial arts.

Soon, two months passed, and Bai Ge had learned almost all the relatively authoritative martial arts knowledge available online.

Including ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, and combat techniques from all over the world.

In the field of combat and martial arts... Bai Ge had truly become the 'King of Keyboard Warriors'!

His consciousness was equivalent to the combined decades of attainment of hundreds of martial artists from various schools and sects.

In terms of combat routines alone, his breadth of knowledge was already rare and unrivaled in the world.

This was a terrifying consciousness, enough to compensate for the deficiencies in Bai Ge's physical condition.

However, when it came to actual combat, having never truly tried it, Bai Ge didn't know how much stronger he had become...

"It's a shame that learning this much nowadays seems useless."

"I'll probably still be taken down with one shot."

ps: I know all the uses of the brain hole, but I can't write so much at once, and this ability hasn't been fully explained yet.
