I’ll add some practice in the real world

Human brain cells are in a process of continuous death, and will never regenerate and proliferate. Every time they die, one will be lost, until they are completely extinct.

This process is called programmed death, also known as apoptosis.

The number of human brain cells reaches approximately 14 billion from birth. However, after the age of 20, the brain begins to age, and brain cells will decrease at a rate of 100,000 per day.

In old age, it is common to see elderly people suffering from symptoms of dementia, which is also due to the death of a large number of brain cells.

By the way, the theory that only about 10% of the human brain is developed is actually a myth. Modern scientific MRI shows that every area of ​​the human brain has been exploited and utilized efficiently, with the development rate reaching 100%, and there are no idle brain cells.

Chen Jue has carefully observed the working status of the brain through [inner vision] before, which can more clearly observe the operation, strengthening, aging, and death of brain cells than MRI.

Only this time, through the practice of [Baize Guidance Technique] and [Five Senses and Six Senses Technique], as well as the intake of a large amount of spiritual energy, Chen Jue found that his brain was transforming in an uncontrollable and unknown direction.

This is the uncertainty on the road of spiritual practice and evolution. Even he, a true saint with a firm will and a devoted mind to the Tao, has doubts, confusion, and worries about this kind of transformation that does not know whether it is good or bad.

Looking deeply at those swollen and deformed brain cells again, Chen Jue suddenly let out a light sigh: That's not right!

It doesn't seem to be aberrant cancer... These mutated cells do not have the characteristics of phagocytosis, invasion, and metastasis of cancer cells. They can still operate normally, but their operation efficiency has been greatly improved, and they can even divide... This feels a bit like Cell reset...reset to a more advanced neural stem cell state?

You must know that although the human brain cells are highly differentiated and will continue to decrease and die, they are still differentiated and regenerated by neural stem cells every day. This process is called neurogenesis.

Chen Jue had learned this before when he was studying human body structure at the base. However, the speed of new brain cells in this differentiation and regeneration process was far behind the normal aging and death speed of brain cells.

It is equivalent to a small faucet discharging water into the swimming pool, and at the same time there is a drainage outlet several meters wide under the swimming pool discharging water. Sooner or later, the swimming pool will be drained.

But the mutation in Chen Jue's brain cells was equivalent to changing the nature of the water in the swimming pool, allowing them to form the function of self-division and proliferation.

With the increase in brain cells, Chen Jue's cerebral cortex's ability to perceive the external world and its ability to control the body's reflexes, including language, learning, memory, thinking and other functions, will increase significantly.

Logically speaking, this should be regarded as benign brain cell transformation, but the human brain space is limited, and it cannot allow brain cells to divide and reproduce endlessly.

Once this change cannot be controlled, the result will be that Chen Jue's head will grow bigger and bigger, and one day it will burst from the inside like a blown balloon!

Thinking of such a scene, Chen Jue couldn't help but shudder, and thought to himself: Sure enough, the unknown is the most terrifying thing! If I really become a big head, then am I still a human being?... Once the brain tissue proliferates too much, If my skull is broken, can I still live?

When he opened his eyes and looked at Bai Ze who was lying next to him, he felt that the situation he was encountering now was very similar to the situation when he was in a state of mental separation.

It's just that Bai Ze can weaken the extraordinary organ that stores spiritual energy by half by breaking off the horn, interrupting the energy and returning to normal.

Chen Jue can't lift his Tianling cover and dig out the excess brain tissue, right?

This is a difficult point in the evolution of spiritual practice. Once it is not handled well, the benign evolution of the brain will turn into an aberration similar to tumors and brain cancer!

…

He sat and meditated for a long time. Based on his current knowledge base and practice experience, Chen Jue could not think of a good solution for a while in the face of this uncertain and unknown evolution.

I could only suppress this worry temporarily and took a look at the attribute panel after the breakthrough:

Name: Chen Jue

Lifespan: 453

Strength: 10.26

Agility: 7.22

Physique: 10.31

Intelligence (brain area): 3.63

Free attribute points: 0.02

Skills mastered: [Red Dust Golden Body Kung Fu Lv8] [Five Senses and Six Senses Kung Fu Lv8] [Pure Yang Kung Fu Lv7]

New skills: [Kui Niu Guidance Technique] [Baize Guidance Technique]

New status: [Mana Consciousness]

Is there another small update to the panel?

The essence of intelligence attributes is the brain?

Brain area...matter and energy in the brain area?

So, my brain area is already more than three times the human limit... This is the opposite direction of affecting the mind from matter... The more powerful and the greater the number of brain cells, the higher the intelligence?

If this is really the case, several other attributes are also related to my body material and the upper limit of energy storage? Chen Jue looked at the changes in the attribute panel and his heart moved.

Then I recalled browsing the research materials on the human brain in the base, such as the famous Einstein's brain.

The total mass of Einstein's brain was only 1,230 grams, which was lower than the average 1,300 grams of ordinary people's brains. According to later analysis, it was related to his congenital deficiencies.

Because Einstein's academic performance as a child was not outstanding, he even seemed to be very introverted and unsociable.

Although the total brain mass is low, the scientific community has found that the structure of Einstein's brain after his death was indeed different from that of ordinary people, according to research on his brain slice samples.

In particular, the bottom lobe of his brain is 15% wider than that of normal people, and the groove from the back of the brain to the front of the brain is also disconnected.

In addition, the number of glial cells in area 39 of Einstein's left hemisphere is twice that of ordinary people. This abnormal weight gain of some brain tissue is somewhat similar to the transformation of Chen Jue's brain.

Another glance at the newly awakened state:

[Mana Consciousness]: With the nature of nature, there is overriding and understanding, and it is wrong to follow the circumstances.

Status level: Level 9

Status effect: It can greatly enhance the character's ability to perceive changes in time and space.

Status linkage: [Clairvoyance] [Shunfeng Ear] [Inner Vision] [Tongyou Cave]

Chen Jue is still very familiar with the term mana consciousness. This is the seventh sense mentioned in Buddhist scriptures. It is a perception ability that is higher than the five senses and six senses of normal people.

Vision, hearing, smell, taste, touch, perception...and now there's a seventh sense involving time and space?

No wonder the spiritual magnetic field emitted by the brain just now can form feedback results similar to sonar and ultrasonic waves. It turns out that the seventh sense of [Mana Consciousness] is at work! Chen was determined and thought for a long time before quitting. A study of properties panel changes.

…

Brother Chen Jue, are you okay?

What you were doing just now was so strange. You didn't respond no matter how I called you.

Did you have an epiphany? Little sister Yun was almost resting now and stood up from Bai Ze's soft and fluffy fur.

It's an epiphany! But I haven't fully understood it yet, and a lot of new doubts have arisen.

By the way, how long has it been since I had an epiphany? Chen Jue breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was back as before.

Eight hours have passed, and the little parrot can no longer fly. Now it is lying down and resting. Yun Xiaomei raised the monitoring device on her wrist and pointed to the little parrot resting next to her.

Eight hours?

I didn't expect it to be so long... Chen Zhi said secretly, and by the way, he took off the bronze mask from the backpack hanging on the little parrot.

He held up the bronze mask and flashed it at Bai Ze, intending to ask him if he recognized this thing. Unexpectedly, when Bai Ze saw the bronze mask, he breathed hot steam and let out a low roar.

Brother Chen Jue, Bai Ze said that this mask originally belonged to him, but was snatched away by a red bird from behind. Yun Xiaomei translated.

Is there still this matter?

Isn't the red bird the red bird?

It was snatched away by Fengniao later... This mask has actually passed through three hands? Chen Jue was slightly startled when he heard this. He grabbed a piece of soul crystal of about the same size from the ground and stuffed it into the bronze In the missing hole at the forehead center of the mask.

With just this push, Chen Jue found that the bronze mask in his hand was like an electrical appliance that was powered on. The entire mask suddenly let out a soft groan, and the fine patterns on it became even more radiant.

An invisible sound wave frequency emitted from the mask, causing the surrounding spiritual energy to continuously converge upward.

Chen Jue glanced at the concrete seven-color stream of light passing through the patterns, as if electric current was traveling and passing along the preset wires.

It's exactly what I guessed. This thing just lacks the energy supply in its forehead!

Bronze is a good conductor, but I didn't expect that this conductor is not used to conduct electricity and heat, but to conduct spiritual energy... Upon seeing this, Chen Jue couldn't help but sigh at the fantastic idea of ​​the mask maker. .

He stretched out his hand and tried to put the glowing mask on his face, and a spiritual energy that stimulated his brain began to be transmitted from the bronze mask.

After trying to run [Baize Guidance Technique] again, Chen Jue felt that his brain enhancement practice speed had greatly increased.

But the swelling and pain in his head got worse, so Chen Jue had no choice but to take off the mask that was attached to his face, and handed it to Miss Yun who looked curious next to him: Little sister, put it on and try it!

Okay! Yun Xiaomei took the mask and put it on as well, but not long after, the Dulong girl next to her let out a moan as if she was enjoying it: Ah...um...brother Chen Jue, this mask lasts a long time. It feels so comfortable after getting up there!”

My head feels cool and my thinking has become much more active!

Just when Yun Xiaomei realized the convenience of practicing brought by this mask, Bai Ze beside him suddenly let out a low roar.

Hearing this, Yun Xiaomei hurriedly took off her mask, communicated with Bai Ze for a moment, and showed an excited expression: Brother Chen Jue, Bai Ze said that this mask and this copper scroll are all from a desert. Found in special places.”

It said if it wanted something else, it could take us there!

I kept everyone waiting for a long time. I stayed up late again yesterday and slept heavily during the day. My irregular work and rest schedule affected the update. I can't guarantee the next update tonight. I'm going to take a shower and try my best to write out one more chapter, so I can stabilize the guaranteed updates first. You still have to adjust your normal routine (cover your face)
