Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect

But if you ask why Chen Xuantian isn’t flustered, it’s because he’s already so high on drugs...

Yeah, the potency of the medicine is truly intense. As my two brothers have mentioned, this specialized battle stimulant completely exploits one’s potential and sacrifices the future like a high-interest loan in exchange for combat strength at the expense of massive side effects. Thus, its enhancement on power, Dao Power, and force doesn’t need to be elaborated—it’s simply wild, handsome, cool, fierce, and dominant!

But what Chen Xuantian never expected was that this drug actually boosts intelligence too...

Yes, you heard right. Intelligence boost—can you believe it?

It could be due to accelerated blood circulation leading to brain cell overload, or perhaps some chemical substance that enhances the activity of brain cells, speeding up the transmission between neurons. Or maybe it’s a hallucination caused by the intense toxicity, unlocking a novel experience the brain has never had before...

In any case, Chen Xuantian is truly high now. He feels his heart pounding wildly, pupils dilating, nerves orchestrating, brain lobes resonating—it really feels like he’s reached an unprecedented, mystical state of perception due to the drug.

In his vision, he can clearly see every sword path of the Sword Rain falling down. He can effortlessly simulate the sixty-four palms of the Xuanji Tribulation Seal to block every sword path and remain undefeated.

He can clearly see the movement trajectory of Yu Shangu and his White Snake, see their landing spots as they twist and turn in mid-air, and accurately observe each pulse of Qi Gathering, watching the marks of the True Martial Seven Swords’ slashes with precision.

Yes, if he wanted, he could now use the drug’s power, ride the high, dodge the Seven-section Sword Light slashing at his brow, and instantly kill Yu Shangu, crushing him and his snake bones all together.

But there’s no need for that now.

Because it’s truly wasteful.

This high! This badass! This strong BUFF! This powerful hack! One might not be able to open it a few times in a life! Wasting computational power of this level on mere fighting and killing—isn’t that a bit brainless?

So he directly ignored Yu Shangu’s snake skin movement and flamboyant sword play, and Chen Xuantian, in the midst of tribulation, pursued Enlightenment, engaging in scientific research while sword fighting.

Yes, scientific research, with himself as the subject.

The most fundamental, purest, and core question.

Who am I?

I, Chen Xuantian, having reached this point, am I still human?

Of course, this question is not about morality, but physics.

Am I human? Am I a monkey? Or a wetware? A Three Corpses? A clone? An original body? An Initial Unit?

What the hell am I?

The questions that had been incomprehensible before, now with the drug’s effect, in a moment of peculiar inspiration, Chen Xuantian figured it out.

To conclude directly, ’I,’ Chen Xuantian, am currently a high-on-drugs Primordial Spirit, a Plasma lifeform.

Daring assumptions cautiously proven—moreover, the conclusion of being a Plasma lifeform is experimentally verified.

Yeah, as it turns out, everyone might have forgotten.

But the tenth of the nine major sects, the sixteenth generation Sect Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect, Lord Tian Gang.

He was killed by Chen Xuantian himself.

Yeah, using that magnetic light trap great array on the Primordial Spirit, capturing the Plasma to collapse somewhere unknown...

So at this moment, riding the drug-induced high, reflecting from the state of being a Plasma lifeform, Chen Xuantian gained many new insights and understandings.

Plasma is normally referred to as the fourth state of matter, but in reality, it’s the oldest, most prevalent state in the universe. It’s composed of ionized gases, where electrons and atomic nuclei can freely float, having strong responses to electric and magnetic fields.

Therefore, if life is not defined by DNA and cell walls, but by "systems capable of self-organization, utilizing energy, possessing internal information flow, and adapting environments," then plasma life in theory is possible.

If it’s at all necessary to relate Plasma lifeform to human status for better understanding, it’s not impossible. For instance, there might be stable "membrane" structures formed by magnetic field lines, serving as the skeletons and connective tissues of carbon-based organisms, forming the foundational framework for maintaining form.

This state is what’s referred to as Primordial Spirit...

And Plasma life completes energy exchange by absorbing and expelling charged particles, maintaining structural stability by absorbing electromagnetic energy, charge gradients, or chemical imbalances, thus physically meeting the basic definition of metabolism.

This is the Dao Breath of breathing...

To prevent escape of charged particles into the surrounding environment, Plasma life might have a double electric layer structure similar to cell membranes, a very thin physical interface formed by positive and negative charge layers, preventing structural collapse while selectively allowing specific ions to enter for metabolism, thus maintaining internal-external environmental balance.

This last barrier against collapse is generally known as the Divine Court, the Primordial Spirit Illusion Realm...

At the core of these life forms might be wrapped tiny dust particles. These dust particles, arranged into extremely stable geometric lattices within ionization fields, rely on Alvin Waves or internal plasma vibrations. Spread, reflected, and interfered with within magnetic fields and dust lattice, resembling extremely complex information processing networks of our neural networks.

This is the essence of the Elixir, 精, 炁, 神, the trinity of Refining Qi and Transforming God, its core.

So how does this Plasma Primordial Spirit Body interact and merge with the human body?

Pure carbon-based flesh simply cannot contain various high-energy charges and magnetic field aggregates, right?

But everyone isn’t really human in the first place, are they! They’re humanoid assemblies of carbon, silicon, various metal element compounds! Puppets with threads implanted!

They are wetware.

Alright then, supposing we need to put a human-like skin on a Plasma life, how do we design this wetware system?

Hmm, there must be a magnetic confinement generator made of high-temperature superconducting materials. A humanoid magnetic cage filled with micro superconducting coils internally, establishing a strong magnetic field around, binding the Plasma within the torso and limb-specific spaces, preventing the burning of external tissues or direct escape...

Just like the three hundred and sixty ordinary and extraordinary meridians’ aperture around the body?

And to allow interaction between the Plasma Primordial Spirit Body and the human, an intermediate translation layer is needed—transforming Plasma’s electromagnetic waves into the electric-chemical signals of carbon-based flesh. Some kind of artificially synthesized neural plexus and neurotransmitter with high electrical conductivity and frequency response, able to sense Alvin Waves inside the Plasma, and upon Plasma’s wave frequency changes, senses the electromagnetic variations driving muscle contraction...

Like Artificial People’s meridians, or Immortal Silk of the 菀窳?

Simultaneously, carbon-based "flesh" alone is absolutely inadequate; a better material is necessary, lighter than human flesh with higher heat insulation capabilities, capable of converting external physical pressure into electrical energy using the thermoelectric effect, using excess Plasma heat to generate electricity to power the body’s logical circuits, achieving self-sufficiency, self-strengthening, self-repairing, self-evolving as the Plasma grows stronger...

Like muscle that can be endlessly horizontally refined with Gang Fist?

And if we then, at least between the magnetic cage and flesh, lay an intermediary medium, say a gel of carbon gas, or liquid gallium alloy as a coolant, flowing within the body like blood. Efficient to dissipate excess heat from the Plasma, serving also as an electromagnetic shield layer, to protect the container from internal strong electromagnetic interference burning, and of course, it’s even better if it can mutually convert between the two and complement each other...

Such as the Divine Blood of Tian Absolute Land, Divine Slaughter Blood Punishment, Shape God Myriad Transformations?

Damn? Everything seems to be connected, right? And they appear connected quite reasonably!?

So to summarize in one sentence...

He, Chen Xuantian, is a Plasma lifeform contained and restrained by a human-shaped Tokamak device...

Crap! So I am actually a Sun!?
