Chapter 84: The World of Consciousness
"Compared to the existence and application of the qi comprehended by the swordsmen, when our mages advance to the bronze rank, they can carry out the cultivation of true spiritual will. Different from the previous empty meditation, the cultivation of spiritual will is dangerous and difficult, and it is already the soul level of the foundation, and the slightest carelessness will cause mental trauma, the light will regress in strength, the heavy will be deranged, and even fall into complete madness and destruction. ”
"Therefore, the mages of each faction basically have a unique method inheritance for cultivating spiritual will, and what our faction inherits is the meditation know-how of the ancient arcane master's transformation system, so even if they are not very interested in alchemy, the mages of our faction are basically good at alchemy creation. ”
"Now, I will begin to guide you through the first spiritual will cultivation. ”
Messer then ordered Donald to enter a shallow meditation state, listening to his instructions for the next step.
Donald was already familiar with basic meditation and quickly got into the groove, but his teacher taught meditation this time in a very different way than before.
Ordinary meditation is to enter the unconscious state to feel the spiritual power, so as to guide the magic power to run and gather in the body. This new way of meditation is to block out the sensations of the whole body, and then the consciousness enters the deep world of the soul.
According to the trick taught by Messer step by step, it took two hours for Donald to inadvertently successfully enter the depths of his own soul, which is the world of consciousness in his previous life, also known as the sea of consciousness.
He saw that his world of consciousness was empty and pitch black, and only a star-like pillar of light in the center illuminated a few meters of the surrounding area.
This pillar of light was only more than one person tall, but in the dark space of consciousness, it seemed as if it had penetrated the heavens, and this was the origin of Donald's own soul.
Now Donald's consciousness is in a state of slow thinking, and he only thinks instinctually about everything he sees, and does not think as he normally would. This is because for the first time in the world of consciousness, the main consciousness is groggy and is now dominated by his subconscious.
Soon a golden light lit up in the pillar of soul light, and the golden light gathered into the shape of a book, shining on Donald's consciousness that was wandering outside his soul. Suddenly, as if in a movie, memories of past and present lives surfaced together, and soon Donald's main consciousness awoke from his stupor.
"The Book of Truth! Did you wake me up?"
The golden light flickered as if in response.
"Hehe! You're really my best friend!"
Donald, who came to his senses, swam around his soul origin, and then saw a transparent figure begin to condense before the soul light pillar.
In the end, the figure formed a person who was exactly the same as Donald himself, but after Donald regained consciousness, he instinctively formed a projection of his own soul consciousness. Because this is the world of his own spiritual consciousness, Donald is like a god here, and what the outside world can't do, as long as he can think of it, he can do it here.
Of course, this is all illusory and cannot be taken away from the world of consciousness. If he really has the strength of a true god, he can use the virtual to create a physical existence.
The first step in Messer's Variation Meditation is to enter one's own world of consciousness and then shape a projection of the soul. But don't look at Donald to do it so simply and easily, with other new magemen, even if you have the right method, if you want to do it, you can't figure it out without dozens or hundreds of attempts.
The reason why Donald did it so easily was because there was a book of truth in the consciousness space, which immediately awakened his drowsy main consciousness, and he had seen a lot of descriptions of the consciousness space in his previous life, whether it was correct or not, he felt that he could give it a try.
Such an idea is in line with the principle of existence of the space of consciousness, in essence, this is just a world imagined by Donald, but with the power of the soul as a basis, it can also be said to be a real space.
Such a space is like painting on a blank sheet of paper, as long as you can draw it, you can form a real picture, but if you don't have the imagination to paint, and you don't have the intention of painting, then it can only be a blank slate.
After successfully condensing his soul projection, Donald began to carefully observe the situation in his conscious world.
The first thing that caught his attention was the only luminous object here, his own soul origin. With a soul-level sense, he instinctively knew what it was.
I saw that in addition to the golden light book formed by the Book of Truth, there were some light spots with different colors and brightness on the soul light pillar, which were distributed on the light pillar like stars, if there were more light points, then his soul light pillar would look like a brilliant galaxy.
Donald tried to cast his consciousness on one of the brighter golden points of light, and then he felt a mysterious pattern reflected in his mind, and after the pattern was completely formed, he would sense a network of some small silver lights between heaven and earth, and there was an area on those networks that he was familiar with, as if he could instantly come to any location in that area as long as he wanted.
Feeling this, Donald suddenly figured out, isn't this just another manifestation of his first talent, the Spell Teleportation Technique?
There were only three golden points of light on the soul light pillar, all of which were relatively bright, and they should be the three talent spells he had been given by the Book of Truth. Each point of light exists on the outer layer of the soul pillar of light, indicating that these are abilities that Donald has mastered.
There are dozens of other silver points of light, which should be spells he has mastered, and there are only a few red points of light, Donald tried to sense them, and found that these are all innate spells and abilities given by the demon hunter class.
"It turns out that a spell is expressed like this at the soul level, does that mean that as long as I can engrave the principle of spell construction on the soul light pillar, I can master any spell?"
But Donald's soul projection immediately shook his head and gave up on the crazy idea. The rice still has to be eaten bite by bite, and the road must be taken step by step, so that the foundation will be solid.
Then it occurred to Donald that since it was a world of consciousness, he could do whatever he wanted. So he closed his eyes and imagined for a moment, and soon the place illuminated by the pillar of soul light was reshaped as if it had melted with the change of his thoughts, and a drastic change had taken place.
Aside from the fact that the location of the Soul Light Pillar has not changed, the originally empty Void is now a modern dwelling. With its comfortable and bright interiors, natural hardwood floors, high-tech appliances and fine furnishings, and even the afternoon sun shining through the windows, this is the perfect home that Donald dreamed of in his previous life, except for no one else.
Sitting on the leather couch in the living room, Donald looked at the seventy-two-inch large-screen TV in front of him that was broadcasting the news of a certain day in his memory, and felt as if something was missing.
"Hehe! A few more drinks and snacks would be perfect!"
Donald thought to himself when several trays appeared on the coffee table in front of the couch, which contained drinks and foods such as cola soda, potato chips, chocolate, etc.
While eating and drinking, he generally turned the stage aimlessly, hoping to see a good program he liked. But after a few minutes, Donald was tired of it.
The TV was full of excerpts from the program that had appeared in his memory, and even the food and drink in his mouth were just an illusion caused by the original feeling in his memory.
As a soul body, it is impossible for him to have a sense of taste or so on. Even the warm feeling of the sun shining on his body was imagined by himself, and there was no sun outside the window at all, only nothingness and darkness.
As Donald felt a little lost, the scene in front of him changed again, and all the items disappeared, once again returning to the void space where only the soul light pillar existed.
Feeling a handful of life in his past life, not only did not make Donald feel good, but made his will depressed, and he closed his eyes in some boredom and withdrew from the world of consciousness.
In the real world, Donald opened his eyes, and Messer, who was guarding the side, immediately asked:
"How is it, do you feel the existence of the conscious world?"
Donald took a deep breath, sorted out his emotions, and then said:
"Teacher, the method you taught me is very effective, it turns out that the world of consciousness is so interesting!"
"What?"
The old mage was immediately shocked when he heard Donald's words, thinking that something had gone wrong in his cultivation, and immediately asked:
"Tell me everything that happened after you entered the cultivation state. ”
Donald saw that the teacher's expression was wrong, and he was a little surprised to tell how he entered the world of consciousness, and then condensed the soul projection, discovered the light points at the source of the spell, and created a room in his imagination. Of course, those references to the Book of Truth and the circumstances of one's past life have been deliberately omitted.
After hearing this, the old mage was completely out of shape, and muttered in his mouth:
"Impossible! How can this be! It should be difficult to enter the world of consciousness for the first time?"
Donald said, "Is it difficult? I feel easy!"
Messer was immediately embarrassed when he heard this, and explained the reason for Donald with mixed feelings.
According to the universally accepted standards in this world, if a mage can enter the world of consciousness, it can be said that he has officially broken through the black iron rank and entered the realm of the early bronze stage. And most of the mages who are generally able to form soul projections in the world of consciousness are already bronze high-level, and they are about to break through the strength of silver, and even most of the silver powerhouses are only maintained at the stage of condensing soul projection, but the more real the soul projection, the stronger the strength of the mage.
Generally speaking, only when you reach the golden level and have the foundation of touching the shallow laws can you achieve the ability to create things in the world of consciousness, and no matter how much you change before, it is only a projection of your soul.
And Donald has just entered the world of consciousness, and he has condensed a clearly visible soul projection, and even created a warm and comfortable small space for survival, if this talent and potential are known to other mages, even if it is a golden ** master, I am afraid that he will be ashamed!
Messer thought that when he first advanced to the bronze rank, the teacher agreed to guide him on the side, and he successfully entered the world of consciousness after his first cultivation, and was greatly praised, saying that his talent was rare in a hundred years.
So now that this disciple has only entered the world of consciousness for the first time, and he has reached the ability to create things that only a golden ** master can do, what kind of genius is this?
No, this can no longer be called a genius, but a monster!
However, Donald's performance made Messer feel the most joy after experiencing complex emotions such as shock and shame.
