Chapter 95: Asking Myself! The Path to Destiny!
Under the night sky, a gray fog began to cover the earth.
The mountains in the distance became reflections like an ink painting. The dark green miasma rising from the poisonous swamp spread in all directions. The creatures of the past began to breathe out the poisonous mist, and more than half of their huge bodies were hidden under the swamp.
——Secondary creation technique.
Xiao En's figure was sitting cross-legged on the cold ground. In his hands, a piece of linen cloth was being woven out of thin air. The flowing ectoplasm energy gathered in his hands and transformed into solid matter bit by bit.
Although the essence of magic is derived from the laws of the world, the use of psychic power is completely different from the mystical knowledge he has mastered in the past.
This is another way to use the laws of the world.
In a corner not far away, there was a pile of linen cloth thrown casually on the ground. They could last for 7 hours and then dissipate and turn into astral energy again.
"It's too slow to digest the supernatural essence in this way."
Xiao En threw the linen in his hand aside. He only made some progress in creating things out of thin air at the beginning. After making a pile of linen, he found that if he did not have professional craftsmanship knowledge, this psychic spell could only be used to create some of the lowest level materials.
A pile of cloth and wood with a time limit, which will decompose into ectoplasm energy when the time is up.
"These creations can only be used in emergencies. Only the real creation technique is valuable."
The 9th ring of the spiritual path's true creation technique is equivalent to turning energy into matter, and it is a god-level authority. Those ancient beings who opened up the world in legends used the true creation technique to create all things from chaos.
"What if the wizard's path is to pursue knowledge to digest the essence of the supernatural?"
"So what is the spiritual path pursuing?"
"Knowledge?"
"I have visited the realm of knowledge."
It was precisely because he had visited the realm of knowledge that Xiao En was able to digest most of the extraordinary essence in one breath during the promotion ceremony, but now he seemed to be stuck at a bottleneck, and the remaining part of the extraordinary essence could be said to be motionless.
"soul?"
Xiao En murmured to himself: "What else is the essence of the mind besides knowledge?"
“Dig into your inner world?”
The warrior path pursues courage, the barbarian path pursues rage, the wanderer path pursues shadows, and the druid path pursues nature. Each extraordinary path has a corresponding concept of law. The mind is a very unfamiliar field for Sean. In addition to knowledge, what else should the mind seek? Sean currently has no clue.
"Mind, it means heart, spirit, mind, etc."
“The essence of knowledge should be to strengthen one’s inner self and enhance one’s understanding of the world and oneself, so knowledge should not be the core of the spiritual path.”
“For the spiritual path, knowledge should only be a complementary tool.”
Xiao En seemed to be in a state of self-questioning meditation at this moment. When he realized all this, he found that the extraordinary essence in his body seemed to have been digested a little.
The right way!
Sean was very keenly aware of this point. If he wanted to digest the extraordinary nature of the spiritual path, he could not follow the wizard's way.
"Then, if I understand the mind according to my own cognition."
"What is the transcendental nature of the spiritual path?"
“It’s definitely not materialism!”
“The spiritual path is definitely related to the knowledge of self.”
Xiao En began to analyze his inner world and went into deep thinking.
"I, Sean, am from Earth."
"I received a 21st century education, I see myself as a human being from Earth, and I was mainly taught materialistic values."
“But the spiritual approach is undoubtedly closer to idealism.”
"I was constantly practicing the art of creation there before, which was completely a waste of time. To use the words of the Chinese in my previous life, what I pursued was the art, not the way of the spiritual path."
"Even when I was advancing through the wizarding path before, I was chasing after the art instead of understanding the Tao."
hum.
The extraordinary essence in Xiao En's body trembled slightly, and his cerebral cortex felt a little numb. This time he clearly felt that the extraordinary essence of the spiritual path was accelerating its digestion.
“My biggest strength.”
"It is the education I received on Earth in my previous life and all the knowledge I gained on Earth. It is because of this knowledge that I have my current self-awareness and can digest the extraordinary nature of the wizard's path faster than others."
"Because compared to them, I have inherited the civilization of the entire earth."
"The wizard path can rely on knowledge to digest progress, but the spiritual path obviously cannot. The promotion system of the Weird Kingdom is not a step-by-step upgrade, but a fusion of self-cognition and world laws. So if I want to master the power of the spiritual path, the most fundamental source is still self-cognition."
"Idealism?"
Sean began to frantically recall the knowledge from his previous life. In fact, after coming to the weird country, he had slowly begun to rely on the revitalized knowledge of this crazy world.
It has been a long time since he recalled the knowledge of his previous life on Earth.
But that is his real 'foundation'!
His three perspectives and cognition are all constructed by the knowledge of the Earth. Xiao En has always wanted to adapt to this crazy and bizarre world, but he did not realize that without the cognition constructed by the Earth's culture, he would be completely assimilated by this crazy world.
“There has always been a misunderstanding in my thinking.”
"The echo of the soul allows me to assimilate with this world and digest the memories of the aboriginal Sean. But in fact, what I need is not assimilation, but to understand everything in the way of the earth."
"If I really assimilate, I will no longer be an Earthling. I will just be a native of this world."
A special realization emerged in Xiao En's mind.
What he needs is to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, and to unleash his potential in the areas in which he excels, rather than forcing himself to conform to everything in this bizarre country.
I am who I am.
I am Sean from Earth. I do not belong to the weird country, and there is no need to force myself to integrate. I am just a stranger who accidentally entered this crazy world.
"Analyzed from the perspective of psychology, the power of the spiritual path."
"It should come from the id, ego and superego, which together make up the personality, that is, the inner spiritual energy."
“The id is the most primitive part, referring to the original self, containing the basic desires, instinctual impulses and life force needed for survival.”
"Some monsters that act on primitive instincts also possess psychic powers."
"So they should be driven by the Self to drive the spiritual energy."
Click!
It was as if a trace of cracks appeared on the mirror, and Xiao En suddenly felt that the bottleneck that trapped him was torn open.
The transcendental nature of the spiritual path is partially digested.
it works!
Knowledge of past Earth lives is just as useful.
It’s just that Xiao En fell into a misconception in the past and never realized this. Instead, he relied too much on the knowledge of the weird country.
“Self is also self-awareness.”
“It is the recognition of oneself and the recognition of the world.”
"The Weird Kingdom is different from the Earth in my previous life. The power of self-awareness is stronger than you can imagine. The inner cognition of the self and the outer cognition of the world can resonate with the power of the laws of this universe."
"So most of the psychic power of the Psychic Path comes from self-knowledge."
"Until now." "I have only begun to truly complete the construction of my own cognition."
The psychic energy is restless.
The knowledge that had been whispering all along became silent. When Xiao En entered the process of "asking oneself", the activated knowledge seemed to fall into a dead silence.
Crazy knowledge is suppressed by the ego!
“Self-pursuit is the core driving force of spiritual energy. With the inner desire of the self, it resonates with the laws of the external world and drives all supernatural energy.”
"This is the embodiment of mental magic."
"Superego."
"Strictly speaking, it should be transcending oneself, which should be a higher level of the spiritual path."
"According to my understanding, superego is a process of suppressing one's own instincts, just like some people in their previous lives pursued [self-discipline], and in the process of transcending themselves, they gained a stronger inner mind."
"There are some people in the weird country too."
“To strengthen the mind through asceticism is a process of seeking the superego.”
"Based on my understanding."
“There is no way to define the concept of superego yet, but I at least know what it is and how to pursue the spiritual laws of superego.”
The psychic energy pool is surging.
When Sean came to his senses, he found that his psychic energy pool had expanded further. He successfully digested a portion of the extraordinary essence of the mental path. In just a short while, he had upgraded to the level of a psychic.
In the weird kingdom, when they are promoted, the power of the extraordinary essence is already in their bodies.
At this moment, Xiao En was as surprised as if he had discovered a new world.
"So."
"How can I pursue the greatest power of the spiritual path?"
"Among the knowledge I learned in my previous life on Earth, what is there that I understand, comprehend, and can implement, and that can ultimately help me master the laws of the mind?"
"The ancestors of mankind!"
"Give me a little guidance!"
At this moment, Xiao En sought guidance from the sages of human history. He felt that he was just one step away from success.
As long as he took this step, he could at least be considered to have asked for his advice in the weird kingdom.
From now on, the spiritual path may be smooth.
Because this is a search for the essence of the entire earth's five thousand years of cultural history, and it is also Sean's greatest wealth. Without everything that the earth's culture has given him, he would not even be as good as the indigenous people of the weird country.
The knowledge in the brain seemed to have set off a terrible storm!
This time.
Sean no longer sought guidance from mystical knowledge. He completely abandoned all the knowledge he had learned in the weird country. He was searching for the knowledge that belonged to the Earth in his past life memories.
Everything!
All the memories of his previous life were being recalled by Xiao En frantically, from his young childhood, to his youth, to the good memories of college, to the depression and exhaustion after entering society. Xiao En almost recalled his entire previous life.
All the knowledge he had learned in this life, the knowledge belonging to the earth, and the knowledge he still remembered were being awakened back to his memories by the power of his mind.
What is the essence of the mind?
How should he seek the power of spiritual path?
Of all the knowledge he had learned, was there anything that could give him guidance to the origin of his soul?
This moment!
In the deepest part of Xiao En's heart, the source of his self-awareness, the source of all his memories, four words flashed by, as if tearing apart the fog of his soul, tearing apart all his confusion, and allowing him to find his own anchor in this crazy country.
——The unity of knowledge and action!
It is not enough to just recognize your own mind, you must also do it and put your cognition into practice in order to achieve a perfect fusion of mind and self.
Those who follow the spiritual path do not exist independently from their physical bodies.
Everything you think you are and whether you can actually do it are two completely different things.
The education that Sean received in his previous life, the knowledge inherited from his previous life, and everything he learned on Earth, finally gave the only answer in this spiritual trial of self-questioning.
This is the gift left to him by everything in his previous life, and it is also the guidance given by the sages of all generations.
boom!
It was like an explosion in the soul.
In an instant, Xiao En discovered that the extraordinary essence of his spiritual path had been completely digested. Everything he thought of in the process of self-questioning had completely digested all the extraordinary essence at the current stage.
His real foundation has never been everything he learned in the weird country, because no matter how much he learns, he can never compare to the natives who have taken root here.
He is an Earthling. As long as a small part of the essence of Earth's thousands of years of civilization can be transformed here, it will already be an extremely terrifying force!
The mysterious knowledge that had been chattering in Xiao En's brain had now fallen silent!
The madness is dissipating.
As Sean recalled all of this, the madness that he had been infected with slowly dissipated. Even the mysterious knowledge that had been whispering all this time completely lost the ability to "speak" at this moment.
The significance of this step to Xiao En even exceeds the power of dual-path promotion.
Whether he could do it or not, at least he understood it now.
The legacy of mankind's ancestors has always been there, but it was only in this desperate and crazy country that Xiao En realized how precious they are!
——Ask yourself!
Sean's power in the spiritual path was so great that he came later but was ahead of the others, and even surpassed the laws of the wizard path by one step.
But the raw magic of the wizard's path is also stirring.
The legacy that Sean inherited was not only the gift from an unknown person, but also the heritage of the civilization of the previous Earth. If psychic power is the embodiment of idealism, then on Earth where there is no psychic power at all, the thoughts of those minds would be purer.
It is precisely because there are no psychic forces interfering with reality that the deepest spiritual self can be studied.
The Tao is always there!
In my own thoughts, in the legacy left to me by the sages of all generations, I am simply blinded by confusion and cannot understand it all.
Use materialism to drive the original magic, and use idealism to drive the spiritual energy.
Xiao En gently spread out his palms.
His figure was suspended half a meter above the ground. With a slight wave of his hand, his telekinesis automatically sent the three-way intersection into his palm. His left hand gathered the energy of his mind, while his right hand gathered the original magic power and the laws of knowledge, acting on both materialistic and idealistic thoughts at the same time. These two forces reached a delicate balance in Xiao En's body.
At this moment, he finally understood why [knowledge] is the core law!
Knowledge is never crazy, it is the world that is crazy.
The door of the Orling Master has opened!
What Xiao En used at this moment was not even the psychic inheritance of the Monster Empire. Materialism and idealism switched forms in his brain, and the corresponding laws were transformed into two different forces, interfering with everything in the real world.
The unity of knowledge and action.
As the source of the anchor point of self-cognition, it also drives the original power of the mind and the arcane.
Although I have not attained the destiny of Tao, asking for the Tao is also the Tao!
Aamon was right about one thing. His potential could only be truly unleashed if he danced on the edge of death.
Without any pressure on him, Xiao En would always be confused.
This is the end.
Xiao En started his own journey to destiny!
Since ancient times, those who have achieved the destiny have always been the unrivaled genius of the era. At this moment, Xiao En finally has the qualifications to embark on the road to destiny.
Destiny legend.
The miracle of mankind is not only a kind of power, but also a kind of inheritance. Only the legend of destiny is qualified to defeat the gods and fight against the old days!
