  Chapter 87 The Vessel of Desire

  Learning new knowledge can improve spiritual power?

   Sounds a bit outrageous, but it's actually not very outrageous.

For the Chosen Ones, if they want to improve their psychic power, they need to drink more elemental potions, and then lie down and sleep—for these lucky ones who are born with awakened psychic powers, the strength and development of their psychic powers will increase with age , just like the psionic energy that originally held the final form, but it just takes time to unseal it.

Many people on Terra Continent believe that the Chosen Ones are actually the reincarnation of those powerful psychics in the past. Their memories may have been wiped out in the sea of ​​darkness, or in the natural psychic field between heaven and earth, but the powerful The next part of the psionic energy can still be preserved, helping oneself to embark on the path of psionic energy again in the next life.

  Based on the fact that Ian himself is also a reincarnated body, he thinks this possibility is quite high.

As for the sublimators who have reached the third energy level through the road of sublimation and awakened the spiritual power of life, if they want to improve their spiritual power, they must sharpen their body and will through various penances, and improve their level of sublimation, drinking more elements potion.

  For psykers, elemental potions are really hot water, and there is nothing wrong with drinking them anytime.

besides.

  In general, it is very hard for a sublimator to improve his spiritual power. Resources, penance, inheritance and talent are all indispensable, and it may even require luck.

  The only advantage is that sublimators can learn from the experience of their predecessors when they practice psionic power, and they can also stably control the type of psionic power they awaken.

  Of course, there are not many options for this category, but it is considered good if you can choose.

  So for those nobles who do not lack resources, talents, and inheritance, this is the most popular practice method—they can directional awaken the most suitable spiritual power for their bloodline inheritance, and achieve the effect of one plus one greater than two.

  Finally, for those who are awakened the day after tomorrow, if they want to improve their spiritual power, what they need is to fulfill their desire and drink more elemental potions.

  —Why does a person awaken psionic power the day after tomorrow?

  Maybe it is a hearty indulgence, an unforgettable misfortune, a heart-wrenching sadness, an extremely ecstatic luck...

  Good, bad, sad, happy, happy, hopeless...

  In one of the most indescribable emotional shocks that ordinary people will hardly encounter once in a lifetime, life may awaken spiritual power.

   Their spiritual energy comes from strong desires and emotions, and growth is naturally the same.

  A person who awakens psychic power due to revenge, the psychic power will continue to grow during the revenge process, and reach the peak after killing the enemy, and then stagnate.

  For those who have awakened psionic power because of their desire for wealth, their psionic power will continue to accumulate in the process of wealth accumulation until the holder feels satisfied and no longer desires.

   Desires, dreams and ambitions—it is from such desires that psionic power is born.

  The more greedy the person, the more sincere the person, the purer the person...

  In other words, the more rational a person is, the more bewildered he is at the same time.

  The stronger their spiritual power, the deeper their potential.

  After all, an ordinary person who is a little rich and happy, and a bewildered person who can't wait to become a final child, have both awakened the spiritual power that depends on wealth, and it is clear at a glance who is stronger.

  In the terminology of the sublimated people on Terra, the psionic energy of the acquired awakened person is essentially the "vessel of desire".

  As long as one desires, one can grow psionic power.

   As for the end of this longing, it is a water cup, a water tank, a bath or a lake or sea.

   It is even an abyss that is bottomless, enough to swallow everything.

   It depends on whether the psyker can practice his desires and dreams and reach the limit of his will.

  Although it sounds like a paranoid, it is impossible for a madman to awaken psionic power.

  Those who cannot control their own will are just prisoners of fate. Of course, it is impossible to become the master of their own destiny and use the power that they desire to sublimate.

  The essence of psychic energy is a spiral of contradictions, "knowing that it is impossible" but still persisting in "desire"-this kind of rational bewilderment can catalyze the initial vortex of psychic energy.

  In this way, it is not surprising if Ian's psionic advancement requirement is "to know more knowledge, to know more novel things".

   It would be better to say that in the capital of learning, there are really countless people who desire and obtain spiritual power.

   It's just that Ian's desire may be more sincere and pure, so even the "future direction" is seen as a kind of "knowledge and novelty".

   "I've learned a lot of new knowledge recently... It's just that my spiritual power is improving too fast, so I'm afraid it's not a good thing."

  After exercising in the morning, Mr. Hilliard also went to work. Now it should be Ian's free study time.

  But because of the hallucinations just now, he saw a lot of inexplicable trees and desert oases, so he could only sit at the door of his house and look up at the clouds in the sky.

As the dawn gradually rises, the sky is like a painting scroll painted with many colors, from golden red to light orange, bright yellow, and then the surrounding area is a piece of light blue and dark blue—there is no cloud layer of any color suspended on this curtain, and the farthest The sky at the top of the sky is deep in color, and even a little bit of starlight is shining.

Gazing at such a beautiful scenery, Ian's mood improved a lot, and even the continuous hallucinations were temporarily suspended, and he couldn't help muttering: "Generally speaking, people who can awaken psychic powers are mostly smart, at least their thinking logic is clear and clear." .”

   "But the effect of psionic energy is quite idealistic... When you are in a good mood, you feel that the effect is stronger. If you are desperate, the psionic energy will not exert much effect."

   Psionics.

  As the name suggests, the ability derived from the heart and soul is psionic energy.

   But having said that, in fact, psychic energy is not an absolutely ideal power. The urging of psychic energy will cause the brain to run to the limit, so that the psychic person is overly sensitive to everything in the outside world.

   In other words, it is 'excessive spiritual vision', malignant synaesthesia, so that like now, I see all kinds of hallucinations for no reason.

  Frequent use of psychic energy not only consumes physical strength, but also stimulates the brain is quite dangerous. The hallucinations caused by too high spiritual vision will lead to mental weakness of the psychic user, and may even cause loss of control.

  In order to avoid loss of control and to continue to improve spiritual power, many sublimators have developed many [medicines] to calm the mind, improve spiritual power, and curb loss of control.

  The more powerful the psyker is, the more rational and clear-headed he is, but if he loses his mind, the spiral of contradictions will become unbalanced, and the damage will be greater.

  Ian himself guessed that the recent hallucinations may be due to the sequelae caused by his excessive use of psionic power in recent days, and the forcible observation of such a big monster as the spirit of the mountain tide.

   But as Hilliard said, it is not ruled out that his spiritual power is getting stronger, but his brain development has not matched the strength.

   After all, apart from the chosen ones, Ian's age is very rare among the acquired awakened ones.

  Although children's emotions seem simple, direct and very strong, they are actually just an illusion, a cognitive error.

  It is difficult for them to be happy for a long time, and it is difficult for them to be sad for a long time. They don't know what true happiness, achievement and achievement are, and naturally they don't understand what true despair, abandonment and failure are.

  Without such extreme emotions, psionic awakening is impossible, and to understand these emotions, the human brain should also mature.

   In other words, only Ian's two lives are special, and this kind of spiritual maturity will happen, but the brain hardware can't keep up.

  —thump thump.

  A burst of heavy hoofbeats came from far and near, even the noisy human voices could not be covered, and every fall seemed to shake the street.

  Ian, who was looking up at the cloud, was taken aback. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound of hooves, and then frowned slightly: "Is someone riding a horse on Central Avenue?"

   "Where did they come from? Who can ride a horse in Nanling? This is too weird!"

   It's no wonder Ian is so puzzled.

Terra's horses are similar but different creatures to Earth horses. Regardless of ordinary pack horses, war horses generally exceed 1.7 meters. They are extremely intelligent, and their bodies are covered with a layer of scales. They are quite powerful Omnivorous grassland predators can hunt and plant their favorite pastures in fertile places by digging pits and excreting.

  In terms of biology, the Terra horse is classified as the "Landosauridae Equus"... In other words, it is essentially a docile, domesticable subsaurus.

  Bison Mountains don’t produce war horses. After all, anyone who wants to ride a horse to take risks in the swampy jungle must have some brains. How majestic is the three-meter-high behemoth! The wild boar is also a good choice if it doesn't work. The mountain folk wild boar cavalry of Midera made the pioneers of the empire suffer enough.

   I'm a little curious, but also because I really have nothing to do now. Ian has just fed his younger brother and cleaned the house, so he doesn't have any psychological burden to watch the fun now.

   Soon, he turned a few blocks and came to Central Avenue.
