Chapter 14

Yes, when Henry Clark completely entered this tranquil, water-like state, as the points of light transformed into a warm current and flowed into his body, he seemed to lose all sense of his soul’s existence. His entire consciousness was poured into that warm current, which flowed into his body along his arm, and then he saw... the entire structure of his soul body, which was composed entirely of these points of light. And these points of light were not so-called energy—they were all thoughts and memories!

All these points of light were formed from positive obsessions. In fact, it would be more accurate to call them intentions or thoughts rather than obsessions. As Henry Clark sensed these points of light within himself, he could very clearly feel the positive emotions they contained, such as joy, happiness, excitement, being moved, responsibility, and so on. When his consciousness sank into these points of light, he felt a warm and comfortable sensation, as if he were a baby sleeping in amniotic fluid, making Henry Clark want to drift off to sleep.

However, at this moment, Henry Clark's left hand was still wracked with the searing pain of soul-tearing, so he was not bewitched by this feeling. Instead, he continued to follow the warm current as it flowed toward the core of his body. In fact, once Henry Clark had fully calmed down, he realized that the speed at which the warm current moved was actually quite fast. Think about it: the first time he tried to sense this warm current, he had just entered a calm state when the current had already disappeared—in less than a second. But now, his consciousness could actually keep up with the speed of the warm current, which meant that his thinking speed at this moment was also extremely fast. In a way, it was as if time around him had slowed down.

Henry Clark's consciousness continued to follow the warm current deeper and deeper, constantly sensing the points of light that made up his body. These points of light were all mixtures of various positive emotions, and the countless combinations of these positive emotions formed Henry Clark's entire body. Observing all this, Henry Clark suddenly had a thought. He gradually expanded his field of conscious vision, and slowly, his entire soul body came into view.

(As expected, these points of light could not have formed my soul body for no reason. To bind these points of light together into a body, there must be some medium that binds them, just like the black aura filled with negative emotions. There should be a similar medium within me, akin to the black aura... And sure enough, there is!)

After Henry Clark's consciousness enveloped the entire state of his body, he finally discovered the most core existence hidden among those points of light. No, it should be said—the existence that connected all the points of light. It was a semi-invisible version of himself, a kind of semi-transparent line similar to the points of light. Simply put, it was like a pencil sketch of a person, just the outline without any coloring, as if the lines had been drawn with a pencil. It was precisely these outline lines that controlled all the points of light, as if using the points of light to fill in the colors, with the outline as the boundary and the points of light as the filling, thus forming the entire soul body.

Henry Clark also realized what the most fundamental colorless lines that made up the soul body were—they were his personal will or intention. Unlike positive and negative emotions, those points of light and black aura were just general emotional intentions, such as joy or hatred. Although everyone’s objects of joy and hatred are different, joy and hatred themselves are the same. These are just pure thoughts, unlike a person’s will and consciousness, which are unique to each individual. That is why there are countless differences among all living beings.

It seems that a living being’s soul should be composed of two parts: first, the most basic self-awareness and will, like a person’s brain; then, by absorbing points of light or black aura, the soul body is constructed. The size of one’s own awareness and will also determines how many points of light or black aura can be contained. If there is too little, the soul body becomes weak; if there is a lot, the points of light cannot be absorbed. Henry Clark suddenly gained this insight in his heart.

All of this realization actually happened in just an instant. The speed of consciousness is incredibly fast—perhaps the only thing in the universe faster than the speed of light is the speed of consciousness. At this moment, besides sensing everything within his soul body, Henry Clark's consciousness was also constantly tracking that warm current, always heading toward the very core of his soul.

Henry Clark's consciousness followed the warm current deep into his body, and then the warm current stopped, suspended in the dantian. In just a moment, the warm current was completely absorbed by the dantian, and as it was absorbed, Henry Clark finally "saw" the lightning he had been searching for. In his dantian, some photonic particles were dissolving into the most basic light, slowly flowing and circulating. This light did not flow chaotically, but followed a certain pattern, circulating repeatedly. As the light flowed, flickering currents of electricity slowly formed, then were stored in the intact points of light outside the flowing light. Next, new currents slowly began to form...
