***************************************************************
While meditating and holding his breath, Wang Bu began to meditate and feel his current situation after breaking through the entry threshold of cultivation techniques in an extremely rare way. At the same time, after the power of divine thought was stimulated, he felt that there was still a strange energy left in his body! Its source was blatantly left behind by the spirit-absorbing monster that had encountered the last test of life and death when crossing the DND world.
Wang Bu meditated quietly, feeling the difference between this otherworldly power and his own divine thoughts. If divine thought is a kind of fusion and sublimation of one's own qi, blood, and spirit, then spiritual energy seems to be a different concept, and it seems that it has nothing to do with one's own essence and body. But it can also exert influence. Rather, in deep meditation, it feels like it is intimately connected to the more metaphysical spiritual realm. If it is said that the divine mind can be regarded as an alternative 'body tissue' after the fusion of its own spirit and physical essence. Then feeling the spiritual energy is like a glimpse of light, except for the necessary physiological maintenance energy that relies on this body to survive, the feeling is not related to the general life energy! In his contemplation, Wang Bu unconsciously began to think about a question that had been pondered by many advanced cultivators in the DND world
He was confused and a little dazed by this power, and his body did not move, and he stretched out his tentacles to take in a unique emerald crystal. He can now decipher the vastness of the message. It's like reading information directly from a USB stick. Now he was a little glad that he had picked up the hedron with his sharp eyes. Originally, I just wanted to pick up some souvenirs from my other powerful enemy. But now through this crystal, I know that this thing turned out to be a very important spirit crystal servant for the spirit absorbing monsters! It also has a variety of functions such as spiritual appearance and information recording, which feels equivalent to the super personal terminal and AI assistant protection function in the future sci-fi world.
Although I was not too fascinated by the gemstone and lacked connoisseurship, it was enough to recognize that this is a top-quality natural green zircon. It is half the size of a hand's hand, and it has been carefully ground into a square shape with hundreds of facets. This dazzling, sparkling green made him dizzy for a while. And through the interpretation of information invaded by divine thoughts, this is still a high-end product! It was the spirit sucker monster that he had obtained from a certain ninth-level psionic sorcerer elder not long ago. But it's a pity! This high-grade treasure is not available to me for the time being! After all, this thing generally records personal mental recognition and has certain AI characteristics. After all, Wang Bu did not have any legal transfer procedures with his former master. So there's no way to get this thing to turn it into its new owner! It's just for the time being~~ Wang Bu thought for a while in his heart, although this thing is a high-level product of level 9 spiritual energy, after all, the original owner is dead, and after coming to this world, it seems to have been suppressed in some way. There are also methods for refining and seizing magic weapons in the recipes of one's own cultivation, and it is not difficult to refine them when the skills are profound. But now! It does not prevent oneself from forcibly invading it through divine thoughts to read its materials
Although the Spirit Crystal Servant has a certain ability to store information, it is not a specially designed secrecy system after all. Lacking cumbersome firewall and encryption protection, and after losing the owner, the protection declined, so Wang Bu directly forcibly invaded with the nascent divine thought, although he could not use its advanced functions such as transmission ability and call flight, but it did not prevent him from directly reading the information stored in it as a PDA and using it as a spiritual battery. Although this may be a bit wasteful
The large number of rich spiritual energy cultivation materials recorded in it really enriched Wang Bu's vision, and there is a lack of formal and conclusive cultivation literature at present. This thing is a send-off! If you look closely, psionic energy is indeed the second most regular power system in the DND after Arcane. Among them, the level 9 Genesis, TrueCreation, Metafaculty, TeleportationCircle, and Metamorphosis, Greater, etc., really make people drool when they look at it, not to mention that in the low-level realm, there are also enhancements to the spiritual confusion control transformation, enchantment, prophecy, and teleportation, which have an advantage of half a level higher than the arcane! If you can learn this kind of ability, it will definitely be NB! However, while consulting the dazzling psionic skill information, Wang Bu once again felt a new doubt! Why is there a clear difference between psionic ability and divine thought, aren't the two both psychic abilities?
It was observed that the essence of psionic cultivation described in the materials is that the psychic energy originates from the cultivation of one's own spiritual ability through long-term and strict self-examination and mental training. Those who have overcome demons and unexpected difficulties and are able to get rid of distractions in their hearts have learned how to awaken the power that lies within them. Through the continuous study of their own spiritual consciousness, the mind-giver discovers a wider range of powerful spiritual powers. They meditate on their memories and the nature of their memories, argue with fragments of their personalities, and delve into every dark corner of their hearts. "Knowthyself" is not just a motto for those who are capable of the mind, but also a path to great power. This does not seem to conflict with the concepts of Buddhist enlightenment and Taoist cultivation. Why is it so different! A single cultural difference doesn't seem to make sense!
Just like some practitioners in ancient times who fell into the checkpoint of Zen meditation, Wang Bu also unconsciously fell into a certain entanglement of thinking about the search for the supreme truth. He sensed a thread of truth that he wanted to discover, but he couldn't find answers or hints elsewhere. At this time, he seemed to feel a little sympathetic to the loneliness of some people who had fallen into the threshold of their thoughts in the past, and were almost insane!
But at this moment, it seemed to be a flash of inspiration, and he seemed to want to ask for a hint from the discussion of the sages! But at this moment, he seemed to receive the inspiration of the Brahma wheel, and he suddenly recalled from his mind a famous classic Buddhist Zen eight-sentence controversy: "The body is a Bodhi tree, the heart is like a mirror platform, always wipe diligently, do not cause dust." Bodhi has no tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing originally, where to stir up dust. "These two sons originally belonged to the debate between the two masters of Zen Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty, Shenxiu and Huineng. Later generations often paid more attention to the latter because the sixth ancestor Huineng was more famous. But at this time, Wang Bu's predicament made him understand the truth and meaning of the former
"People in Hongchen receive countless troubles and entanglements around them all the time! It's rare to be quiet and awake~~ Therefore, you need to introspect yourself from time to time to not be blinded by three thousand troubles! Unless a person like the Sixth Patriarch Huineng is born with enlightenment and enlightenment and is not trapped by the outer way, then ordinary people still need the sustenance of the Bodhi tree and the yearning of the mirror platform to practice and advance! Wang Bu seemed to be distracted in his muttering, and he began to get excited about a breakthrough in his thinking
"Spiegel Terrace - Spiegel - If you really have the method of transcending the red dust, you don't need a mirror and other tangible appearances! But if in the red dust, the mirror and tangible things still need to exist to illuminate all kinds of right and wrong~~~~ I understand! Although the way of psionic energy seems to be boundless, the ultimate is only to reflect all kinds of supernatural phenomena in the world, but it is rarely broken and there is no way to transcend the mirror! And the gods thought of cultivating the truth, and the Lingtai Yuanjue had already determined that it was transcendent and not empty, and all kinds of red dust remained. Therefore, the difference between the two is not the same in the end, and all kinds of differences are reflected in the forward! At this moment, Wang Bu instantly felt a sense of pleasure in breaking the restraints, and at this moment, he had no teacher to understand many difficulties that had plagued countless cultivators who were far more advanced than him
Through the analogy of Spiegel, he finally understood! The root of divine thought comes from a higher desire in people's hearts, that is, manifest consciousness, just as a thought creates a killing, a thought becomes benevolent, or a thought refines the causes and effects of the void. A more intuitive form of expression of the mind, so what kind of mind, what kind of desire, what kind of divine thought will be born, this ability to manifest the spiritual essence of the heart's desire, is also the essence of the so-called path of cultivation to create an image from nothingness. It's just that most people lack this specific path of action to guide their consciousness, so there are all kinds of transcendent forms in the core visualization maps handed down by many sects, which can be used by future generations to figure out and follow, and the core graphics of those visualization maps are also the comprehensive collection of Taoist manifestations of predecessors, and they are also a kind of high-level morphological models that can be imitated, so that future generations can use them as a base plate for follow-up learning. But when you truly step out of detachment, everything that is visible will eventually return to nothingness
In contrast, psionic energy is more similar to a subconscious response to the "macroscopic vision" and "microscopic perception" of observing the world and studying the world, and is at a different level of consciousness than the divine mind. Moreover, the foundation of its power comes from the world that is seen through like a 'mirror', just like ordinary people use various mirrors to see through the filtered world. It is a glass mirror, a flat eye, a convex lens, a concave lens, a reflector, a condenser, a telescope, and a microscope. In fact, the power of the white eye has covered all the meanings of the mirror, so the appearance of its symbol is also the pure white after the convergence of colors. But just as people sometimes get used to wearing sunglasses and glasses to adapt to the world, this subconscious adjustment of their own favor has begun to unconsciously 'interfere' with the world! Not to mention that sometimes human beings will use mirrors to create their favorite mirrors out of subconscious habits, or use condensers to focus light to produce more direct physical interference effects, and combine their mental abilities to infinitely amplify, so that they can touch the reality of the world and directly change the reality by observation, which is the true DND version of the spiritual essence of "heart is better than matter".
I see! Once Wang Bu suddenly realized that the door of infinite potential had been discovered and pushed open by him, this kind of spiritual and insightful epiphany allowed him to transcend all the suffering and troubles he had suffered before. Open your heart and laugh. Even the faint light of the Brahmanic Cave Chakra above the top of the skull is completely unaware! But it was in this kind of enlightenment of non-action that he completed the sublimation of the Dharma in one step, which would have been a normal step that an ascetic could only complete in 60 years. Maybe there isn't a short-term noticeable increase in power and spells. But in the future, his extraordinary leap forward began with today's epiphany
"Cultivating the truth is more expensive than 'practicing the fake to become true'! Even if there is nothing to refer to, it will create existence in the void! Psionic energy, on the other hand, is just a 'perfect reflection' in the mental image, which can find the corners of countless scenery from the real scene and edit and synthesize it, which is ultimately just a summary and modification of the actual scene. The realm of the two is self-divided. But it's a long way to go~~ I'm not confused! At this time, Wang Bu suddenly crossed his legs and floated in the air, without any strength, and then slowly stood in the void, pushing an invisible shield force field with his hand, and it seemed that his whole body was instantly expanded. The first-level psionic technique of the Force Field Barrier ForceScreen has been casually unleashed by him
