Chapter 3171 The key to spiritual awakening

Of course, even so, it was impossible for Shado to safely try to awaken spiritual energy with the help of artifact baptism in Zhamdas. After thinking about it, he asked Rodas again:

"Then do you know if there is any way for people to awaken their spiritual powers on their own?"

"I don't know much about this aspect. After all, I am not a professional historical researcher."

"Just tell me what you know!"

"The ones I know? I don't think you want to know those!" Rodas hesitated, and then checked with Sha Duo again whether to say it or not.

Shado's answer was yes. He had not found the traditional method of awakening spiritual energy in the consciousness of Rodas or other spiritual masters before. Even the large number of people who awakened themselves in the past in Zhamdas were not the first ones to awaken. I heard about it once.

"Then let me tell you, as far as I know, there were many psychic warriors in the Dark Ages who, in order to obtain more subordinates with psychic powers, would kill the relatives of the targets who were about to be awakened in front of them, or even let the target himself. Killing, just by doing this, there may not be one awakened spiritual power among a hundred people!"

"So the key to self-awakening is to bring the emotions of the person to be awakened to a certain extreme state, right?" Shado was not affected by the cruel case Rodas told, but extracted some key information from it.

To this, Rodas also responded affirmatively, "This was indeed the theory in the past, but now we generally believe that it is the perception beyond the limit that creates psychic energy, not emotions."

"Perception beyond limits?"

Sha Duo thought about the process of awakening spiritual energy in Mojave that he had experienced in depth before. In fact, it does not amplify perception, but weakens perception, weakening or even completely depriving all perception.

It felt like a person was drifting aimlessly in the endless void unconsciously, and then spiritual energy suddenly emerged, a bit like meaning suddenly emerged from meaninglessness.

Is this a perception beyond the limit? Beyond the body and straight to the heart?

If psionics are the result of extreme emotions, then this power system may not really be suitable for arcane mages, because arcane mages are trained most in concentration or calmness, rather than strong emotions.

Forcibly training two completely opposite states may lead to schizophrenia.

And if spiritual energy can be awakened by reaching the ultimate level of perception, this would be more general. In theory, even an arcane mage might be able to awaken spiritual energy.

"Then how do you explain Weixin?" Xia Duo continued to ask.

"It's very simple. When your perception transcends the body and matter, you will find that the essence of the world is just the evolution of the mind. Everything will change according to your thoughts. This is idealism."

Seeing that Shado seemed to be very interested in psychic powers, Rodas couldn't help but have an idea in his mind. If Shado could awaken his psychic powers, would the two parties be in the same camp?

So he spared no effort to introduce many details of psionic power. If he could really make the other party awaken his psionic power, even if he couldn't win him over to the Anti School, at the worst he could join him.

Otherwise, if a psionic master surrendered to an arcane mage, he would not be able to bear it. If the other party was also a psionic mage and was awakened under his guidance, then it would be logical for him to join him. , it is better than becoming a prisoner.

Although Sha Duo had previously promised that as long as he cooperated, he would find a way to bring him back to reality, but as for himself and others, Rodas did not believe the promise made by Sha Duo, an enemy, just because the existence of other copy consciousnesses had to cooperate. .

If both parties become their own people, then he will have the minimum guarantee of survival.

At this moment, Rodas instantly understood the way out, and worked even harder when introducing psychic powers.

…

Of course, Shado could detect the change in Rodas' attitude, but he didn't expect that the other party was already ready to transform him into a psychic mage and then surrender.

He continued to ask, and he caught a loophole in Rodas's words: "You said that the essence of the world is the evolution of the soul, then why do you Antioch School still seek the rules of reality? Like the Zechi School. Isn’t it good to use your mind to dominate everything?”

"This is actually the biggest difference between us and the Zeqi school. We have different understandings of the first generation of teachers on the mind dominating everything. What we understand as dominating everything is to dominate everything within ourselves, which can usually be understood as controlling the mental world, but the Zeqi school understands To dominate everything is to dominate everything outside of oneself.”

"You haven't answered my question yet? If the essence of the world is just the evolution of the mind, why do you still want to seek the rules of reality? Is it enough to rely solely on the evolution of the mind? Or can't you look for it in your heart?"

"It's very simple. In the theory of our school, the reality that we can shape and fully control is limited to our own mental image world. Outside the mental image world, it is jointly shaped and controlled by different minds. The real world you call, In our view, it is a stronger mental world shaped by a stronger mind.”

"I see!"

Sha Duo had never had such an in-depth communication with a psychic mage before, not even one from the Anti school. The two psychic masters he had "devoured" before were both from the Zeqi school.

Kalish was from the Antioch School, but Kalish wouldn't talk to him about this, and he wouldn't talk to him about it either.

This makes Rodas, a psychic master from the Anti School, even more valuable!

He understood Rodas's explanation that the essence of the world is the soul, and also understood the fundamental differences between the Antioch School and the Zeqi School.

In earthly terms, this is actually the difference between objective idealism and subjective idealism!

Rodas belongs to the school of objective idealism, while the Zechi school belongs to the school of subjective idealism, so they believe that their own minds can dominate everything, and the focus is on "self".

The "mind dominates everything" of the Zeqi school focuses more on dominating "oneself" and seeking to supplement the rules of reality, which is just learning from the more powerful "mind" that shapes reality.

To be honest, Xia Duo couldn't think of anything to refute Rodas' explanation for a while!

Of course he can say that the real world is material, elemental, and exists objectively, but Rodas does not deny this. In fact, the mental world of a psychic mage can also be material, elemental, and objectively existing.

He can also say that the rules of the real world are stable, but as long as the psychic mage is willing, the rules of their mental image world can be stable as well.

Therefore, he cannot refute the other party's statement that the essence of the world is the mind, and it is almost impossible to prove or falsify it.

Perhaps this is the real reason why psychic energy can exist!
