The opening and closing of butterfly wings replaced the circuits' opening and closing, forming zeros and ones. After absorbing Wang Qi's mana, this group of butterflies no longer flapped their wings automatically. Their movements were no longer uniform, yet subtly adhered to other principles.
This was all because of Wang Qi's mana. His mana carried his self, like an installation package, entering the swarm. Meanwhile, his mana could also be translated into mechanical language to control machines.
This is the advantage of "Unity of My Method," or rather, it is Wang Qi's unique skill developed after achieving the Unity of My Method—of course, once widespread, others can learn it too.
Consciousness is mana, and mana is consciousness. The so-called Unity of Magic and Self is precisely this. This is also why high order Ancient Method Practitioners cannot become Modern Cultivators. Their consciousness has long fused with their power, and their life is often closely tied to their power.
