Create something out of nothing.
Also known as perpetual motion machine.
In Benjamin's previous life, anyone who claimed to have discovered a perpetual motion machine could be considered insane.
After Benjamin discovered the specificity of his own Internal Space, he went through many experiments and even spent a large amount of points to purchase an isolation system made by a sixth-level wizard.
Finally, it was finally confirmed that the space in his body did not have characteristics similar to vacuum zero-point energy or the ability to absorb energy from outside the world, but was indeed able to "create something out of nothing" Spirit Energy.
If such a discovery were made in Benjamin's previous life, it would definitely shock the whole world, but now Benjamin seems to be extremely calm.
Although I was a little surprised at first, it was just a little surprised.
After all...
"This must be the third thing I've come across that can create something out of nothing, right?"
Benjamin looked at the increasing number of Spirit Energy in his space with a strange expression.
"This Cultivation Civilization is really amazing..."
That's right, this is the third time Benjamin has encountered something that can make something out of nothing, and they all originated from Cultivation Civilization.
It's just that in the past two times, his understanding of the world was not so clear, and he didn't understand the extraordinary power that well, so he didn't react for a while. It wasn't until after a long period of study that he gradually understood it.
In addition to this space that can give birth to Spirit Energy out of thin air, the second time Benjamin met him out of nowhere is actually very common, that is, Cultivation World's "concept materialization".
For example, Purple Qi of the East, Adamantine and his Five-Skandha Rainbow Mirror all rely on the ability to materialize concepts to produce effects.
Being able to turn what was originally a man-made concept into usable matter and energy is a kind of creation out of nothing.
Although concepts like Adamantine will consume matter and energy in the process of creation, there are also concepts like Purple Qi of the East that not only do not consume energy, but also increase energy out of thin air.
As for the first kind of creation out of nothing, it is also the earliest creation out of nothing that Benjamin came into contact with. In fact, it is Spirit Energy.
Wizard World is not Spirit Energy.
This is a fact that Benjamin has known for a long time.
Because there is no Spirit Energy in the outside world, I chose a method like Refining Essence into Qi. By refining my own essence, I gave birth to Spirit Energy, and then gained cultivation...
This sounds like a very normal and reasonable process and choice... how strange!
If you investigate further, you will find that this seemingly reasonable process is actually quite nonsense.
Benjamin didn't realize this at first, but as he Alchemy became more proficient and his understanding of the world became clearer, Benjamin finally realized this serious problem.
But to realize the problem, we need to answer another question first: What exactly is Spirit Energy?
A special kind of energy?
A power imbued with spiritual concepts?
It wasn't until Benjamin learned the knowledge about the microstructure of Wizard World that he finally realized this problem.
Fortunately, his Great Dao Library is worthy of this name, and the answer was easily told to him through several books:
The so-called Spirit Energy is the most basic particle that constitutes Immortal Cultivation World!
There are a total of three worlds that Benjamin knows. One is the Wizard World where he is now, the other is the technological world of his previous life, and the third is Immortal Cultivation World described in Great Dao Library.
The composition of these three worlds is very similar from a microscopic perspective, and they are all composed of various tiny particles.
Of course there are differences.
For example, Immortal Cultivation World and Wizard World are real things like "time" and "space", rather than like the technological world of Benjamin's previous life, these two concepts are just used to describe the trajectory and range of particle activity.
But this difference is irrelevant. What really makes the difference between the three worlds is the most basic particle composition of the three worlds.
Like the technological world of the previous life, although due to the level of science and technology, fundamental particles that can be used to describe gravity have not yet been found, the remaining strong force, weak force, and electromagnetic force can all be described by fundamental particles, which is the so-called standard model of elementary particles.
Judging from that model, the technological world of Benjamin's previous life was composed of 61 kinds of basic particles, including 32 kinds of quarks and 12 kinds of leptons that make up matter, as well as several kinds of bosons used to transmit interactions.
Of the three conventionally known particles that make up most matter: protons, neutrons and electrons, only electrons are considered elementary particles, and the remaining protons and neutrons are composed of quarks.
Wizard World has a similar structure, except that the most basic particles that make up their world are elements.
Strictly speaking, they are the four major elemental particles of earth, fire, and fengshui.
Earth Element constitutes matter, Fire Element constitutes energy, Wind Element constitutes space, Water Element constitutes time, and each type of elemental particles contains dozens of varieties.
Elements other than these four elements are basically composed of different element particles from the four elements combined in a certain proportion.
As for Cultivation World, the basic example of everything is naturally Spirit Energy.
It's just that the word Spirit Energy is too confusing. Based on Benjamin's current understanding, it would be more appropriate to call it a "spiritual child".
Judging from the knowledge provided by Great Dao Library, the classification of Spirit Energy is not that exaggerated. There are only two types, namely "Yin" and "Yang".
However, the small number of types of basic particles does not mean that the world composed of them is monotonous.
For example, there are so many kinds of basic particles in the technological world, but the neutrons and protons that make up matter are only composed of three kinds of quarks.
The matter and energy particles of Wizard World are generally composed of four to five elemental particles.
As for Cultivation World... generally, material particles are composed of two to nine different yin and yang.
In short, although they are very close at the macro level and the more "basic" micro level, the three worlds are completely different at the deepest micro level.
The reason why Wizard World and Immortal Cultivation World can have extraordinary powers is because the particles that are the most basic components in the two worlds have additional active characteristics compared to the technological world.
For example, what wizards mobilize are generally elemental particles with relatively high activity in the environment. The higher the level of wizards, the lower the activity threshold of the elemental particles they can mobilize.
After understanding what Spirit Energy is, let's go back to the original question: How to practice with Immortal Cultivation World's exercises without Spirit Energy.
The answer is that it is impossible to practice!
Because the composition of the bottom layer of the world is different!
Great Dao Library contains almost unlimited types of cultivation methods, from the most basic Refining Essence into Qi, breathing in and out Spirit Energy, to the more obscure ones such as attracting starlight, refining Gang Sha, essence of the sun and moon, destiny and luck, visualization of yang gods, yin and yang intercourse, to some evil dead energy, Sha Qi, emotions, flesh and blood...
No matter what kind of cultivation method it is, its essence has not changed: with a specific method, these things are "decomposed" into Spirit Energy that can be used by monks!
As for whether these Spirit Energy are used for physical training, Qi training or spiritual training, it mainly depends on the difference in the exercises and the monk's intention.
Therefore, the behavior of using the most basic Refining Essence into Qi method to refine Spiritual Power is completely nonsense from Benjamin's current perspective.
Because Wizard World doesn't! Have! Spirit! Qi!
This is like refining water from a pile of gold, it is simply impossible!
