The spirituality of intelligent beings was the key. Spirituality drove consciousness, producing the mind; the intangible mind then influenced tangible neurons, brain cells, bioelectricity, and other things. The activity of countless individual cells converged into thought as a whole, which then gathered causes into effects through the various responses of muscle tissue, ultimately becoming a tangible force through which consciousness interfered with matter.
What the Daoist, Buddhist, and Confucian schools called divine sense and thoughts were collective wills operating above the cellular level, bioelectricity converging into a current. Cutting away distracting thoughts was a method of strengthening that convergence, achieving complete unity of mind and will.
At this moment, Li Chen had attained the Dao Fruit of an undistracted mind. At the same time, he could surpass his former limits, dividing his thoughts into hundreds of millions, until there were no limits at all.
Every cell and neuron in his body seemed to have become an individual capable of independent thought and calculation-a genuine physical core, rather than a virtual program. Nearly a hundred billion spiritual Mind Cores formed an enormous Server cluster, all serving a single brain.
This was the perfected realm of control over his own mind and consciousness.
Over the next fortnight or so, Li Chen began making meticulous modifications to his Brain Domain.
He was the inventor of the Spirit-Particle Memory Meme and had long since attained the relevant Dao Fruit. Now that he had regained magic power, he soon completed more than a tenth of the modifications with ease.
At this point, Li Chen discovered a pleasantly surprising phenomenon: this magic power truly lived up to its nature as a Dao Fruit of the mind.
It possessed neither the wonders of the Five Elements and Yin and Yang nor any advantage in cultivating ordinary spells.
