Chapter 392 Self-nature

Special Management Bureau, Archives Room.

Ji Li was flipping through the documents in his hands.

His current strength is much different from that of ordinary overlords, especially after he killed Lawrence, the gap between him and Wang Guocheng and others is even more obvious.

When in the state of “Cataclysm Proverbs” that is erupting, especially when controlling the surrounding spiritual environment, this feeling will be further amplified.

The fundamental reason is that in the state of “Cataclysm Proverbs”, this influence ability has met the conditions for qualitative change of spiritual essence.

That is, using the fundamental logic of psychic use, it shifts from “reality interference” to “psychic overwriting” or “reality overwriting”.

The former is to use spiritual essence to pry reality, thereby interfering with the real dimension and creating abnormal phenomena under the influence of various spiritual essences.

The latter uses its own spiritual essence to cover reality. Its impact on the reality dimension is not limited to interference, but directly “overwrites” it, or creates a phenomenon.

The essential logic is that one is to use spiritual essence as a medium to interfere with reality, while the other is to use spiritual essence to directly change reality. This is a fundamental difference.

Therefore, the peak overlords are often completely unable to fight against the immortals, and it is even difficult for them to escape from their hands.

The fundamental reason is that the other party can directly overwrite the reality interference created by the master from the spiritual level, and the rules between the two are not on the same level.

Ji Li can use the spiritual operating logic of “reality overwrite” in the state of peak domination, mainly because of his current personality entity, Disaster Master, which is a third type formed by the stacking of three personality relics and various abilities, and an extended ability.

In other words, the natural breathing and characteristics of the immortal are a special skill for him. Obviously, there is still a big gap between the two.

Fortunately, Lawrence was seriously injured, and not just an ordinary serious injury, but one caused by a pervert like a crazy woman.

If it was an immortal in his prime, it would still be quite difficult for Ji Li to subvert the rules of spiritual essence at his current level.

However, this can be regarded as touching the threshold of self-immortality, so while waiting for the deployment and integration of personnel and preparing to encircle and suppress Su Yan, he has been looking up information related to self-immortality.

After reaching the fourth level as a peak master, one can try to condense his “self-nature” and become immortal.

The so-called “self-nature”, also known as “archetypal self” in soul psychology, refers to a person’s overall spirit or personality, but it mainly emphasizes the “whole”, that is, unifying a person’s thoughts and personality.

So what does this mean?

In a theory called the “Four Persons” theory, it is believed that a person’s life can actually be seen as several time periods, and each time period is the evolution of a different personality.

From being ignorant to being youthful and frivolous, and from being mature and steady to being indifferent to life.

These four examples cannot cover the changes that occur throughout a person’s life, but are used by this doctrine as supporting cases for its theory:

In childhood, one has one personality. As one grows older and gains more experience, one develops another personality in youth. After a period of hard work, one develops yet another personality in middle age. Finally, as one grows old, one’s thoughts undergo tremendous changes over time.

These are the “four people”. Of course, it is possible that a person may have more than four evolutions in his life, such as Ji Li, who is known to have lived for hundreds of years.

He is a person who has gone from being ignorant to being young and frivolous, from being mature and steady to being indifferent to life, and then from being indifferent to life to being old and frivolous, and then from being old and frivolous to a kind of chaotic personality that is extended by the extreme development of years:
He is no longer at the age where he is mature, stable and indifferent to life.

To get back to the point, the Self is born in this theory:
As time goes by, people’s experience is constantly growing, the human spirit will continue to produce various pursuits, and people’s thoughts themselves will also have self-constraints.

Ultimately, when the human spirit realizes its pursuit and becomes what it wants to be, it achieves its “self-nature”.

But it is very difficult to achieve this requirement because the doctrine holds that, theoretically, this must wait until the process of the “Theory of Four” is fully developed.

First of all, one must reach a certain age, meet the needs of sufficient experience and correct understanding of the real world, and then allow other parts of one’s personality structure to be fully developed and independent, in order to achieve self-nature.

This theory believes that one must at least reach the third stage of the “Four-person Theory”, that is, middle age.

From a practical point of view, it means satisfying one’s life goals, reconciling with past ignorance and ignorance, and frankly admitting one’s own existence and shortcomings…

It is extremely difficult for a person to achieve these in life. Ninety-nine percent of people cannot reach this level even if they try their best throughout their lives.

This behavior itself, according to this theory, is the integration of multiple personalities formed in the “Four-person Theory”, which ultimately achieves “self-nature”.

When it comes to the practical level of soul psychology, it means that the human spirit has achieved sublimation.

It’s a bit abstract, but soul psychology has always been like this, and Ji Li roughly understands the core theory:
That is, to find the part that truly belongs to oneself from the various personalities and life memories achieved in the process of peak domination.

Spiritual essence comes from thoughts and desires. Integrating all these thoughts and desires that truly belong to oneself can not only achieve self-improvement at the spiritual level.

It also means that one has found the place of one’s own existence in the subconscious cluster of the human spirit and reached a certain balance with reality. The spiritual essence has undergone a qualitative change, achieving immortal thoughts and desires.

So much for the theory, but what about the actual practice?
In the archives of the Aurora City Special Management Bureau connected to the capital, the deeper content shows:

[After the 59th Capital Core Meeting, the Immortal Knowledge Special Confidentiality Proposal of the Immortal “Nine Faces” was passed. This part of the content will not be displayed, and the paper files will be resealed and stored. ]

[Please initiate a visit request to the capital of Silla and wait for the next summoning instructions after approval. 】

The content has been sealed, and even Ji Li, the chief administrator of Aurora City, cannot view it.

He completed the application a few days ago. After filling out a form, he was prompted that he was in the queue and the staff would complete the preliminary approval in three months.

Perhaps the Help-Seeking Party could be of help in this situation, but Ji Li’s last transaction with the other party had not yet been completed, because they were preparing a suitable commission for him, so it was not appropriate to owe anyone a favor.

Ji Li can get information from Yuya Xun and Feilin, so he doesn’t have to ask for help from the human faction.

However, Yuya Xun expressed a very strange attitude towards his thirst for knowledge about immortals, and wondered why Ji Li wanted to learn the means of advancement of the human spirit –

She is a genuine wheel-spinner and also thinks Ji Li is a genuine wheel-spinner.

As we all know, those who turn the wheel of Dharma are evil and those who attain Nirvana are human spirits.

However, the crazy woman still expressed her willingness to help, but it would have to wait until she returned to her main home in the Black Sun Mansion. She seemed to be at sea at the moment.

Strictly speaking, Ji Li’s current realm has only reached the level of a Type 3 Overlord, and he is still one level away from meeting the conditions for becoming an immortal, so he is not in a hurry. He just wants to understand this information in advance to pave the way for the future.

The real reason for him to become stronger was his own cursed seal from the other world, and the red crystal that could help him recover his mysterious memories.

A siege operation against Su Yan is imperative.

At this time, Ji Li’s phone rang. It was Jasmine calling:
“Commander, news has come from the capital that an immortal will participate in the encirclement and suppression, but the other party is from the Soul Sect.” Under the coordination of the Aurora City Special Management Bureau headed by Ji Li, the encirclement and suppression plan against Su Yan gradually took shape.

The city of Dieshan was originally solving a medium-sized black-market crime case involving an awakened person in their area, and because of its proximity to the coast, it was also affected by the leakage of the sealed acupoints, but they also responded quickly and made arrangements.

The capital also responded to his action, but it took a few days longer:
“Due to the Saltwater Island incident, a large number of Silla’s official immortals are involved, especially those from the Human Faction who are unable to spare the time. Therefore, only one immortal from the Soul Faction has responded to the incident. It is a mandatory transfer order at the administrative level. The other party’s ID is ‘Nine Faces’. I will send the information to you now…”

Nine sides?

Ji Li always felt that this name looked familiar. Wasn’t this the initiator of the proposal to seal up core knowledge that he had mentioned when he was looking up information a few days ago?

After checking the content that Jasmine sent him, Ji Li roughly knew who this Jiumian was:

A national-level investigator of the Capital Investigation Bureau, he was once called “the first peak of Goryeo” by Silla because he achieved the highest level of personality cultivation in the entire Asia during his peak period of dominance, reaching a level of more than ten types.

When Ji Li was learning about the information related to the Eight Type Overlords, he also looked up related materials.

“The arrangements in Dieshan City are also complete. When will we take action?”

Jasmine sent a request. After Ji Li pondered for a while, he was about to speak when his soul trigger was slightly touched. A small piece of blood-colored vine emerged from his clothes and waved at him.

It was a potted plant. The black box that he put back into Aries College seemed to want to contact him for something.

He had potted branches on him as one of his means.

The potted plant is still digesting the immortal spiritual essence left by Lawrence and is gradually growing.

This kind of long-distance communication via the ectoplasm plane is one of those abilities, but it has a limited range.

It is useful as an alternative to traditional means of communication, but currently only conversations between him and the black box are conducted in this way.

After listening to the black box’s message, Ji Li called Jasmine again:
“Notify Dieshan City and start the operation in thirty minutes.”

After the news of the dead apostles reached Dieshan City, this small city had already entered a state of complete war preparedness.

To them, the existence of the Dead Apostles is no less threatening than a nuclear bomb.

Then Ji Li took out another mobile phone and made a call:

“How does it feel to travel on public funds?”

The sickly voice of the rabbit girl came from the opposite side:

“You should spare me…”

There are no luxury shopping malls, no amusement parks, no large-scale performances, and not even a well-known milk tea chain store. To get a cup of Starbucks, you have to go to the most prosperous area in the city center.

The activity and economic focus most favored by the locals is actually mountain climbing!

Bunny Girl originally took a lot of tickets from Ji Li, but was then sent to Dieshan City by him. Now she is so idle that she is almost going moldy.

Originally, Ji Li had no intention of involving this guy in this operation, but he never expected that this guy volunteered to watch over him.

The original words were, “Babel is a place with three burrows. It’s dangerous and cunning. You’re a dead apostle. You don’t have any brothers to watch over you. What if you get killed?”

Considering that in the process of recovering the residual frequencies with Bunny Girl, a certain resonance between this guy and himself was accidentally triggered, the spiritual combat level can be greatly enhanced.

Ji Li simply agreed, and let her, who was highly mobile, follow the Aurora City Special Management Bureau, which was the first to contact them, and act together with the local officials of Dieshan City.

“Didn’t you say you were going? Why are you complaining now?”

“Oh my god… you didn’t tell me I had to come here first! I can run four round trips around that winding mountain road in less than five minutes!”

Ji Li smiled and said, “Well, the action is about to begin. I’m afraid you have to cheer up. I’ll accompany you to the show after it’s over.”

“…Old Ji, please don’t set this kind of flag casually. It may cost lives, okay?” Rabbit complained immediately.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Li returned to his office, confirmed that everything was ready, took out the frequency residue, and activated the “high frequency resonance” –

As his consciousness sank into it, a moving frequency fluctuation penetrated the limit of Soul Trigger’s perception and drilled into his mind.

In Dieshan City, a young man wearing sunglasses and with two red tear marks on his face was walking quickly towards the train station.

Diesan City is very small, with only two railway stations.

This is an old transportation route to the capital located on the edge of Dieshan City, but it still brings a lot of people because of the tourism industry.

Many young people are bringing their parents to Dieshan City to climb mountains, accounting for a large part of the passenger flow.

The man had no luggage, but he was walking in a hurry.

After buying the ticket and entering the station, I sat next to a young couple in the waiting hall, constantly looking at the bus schedule above.

At this moment, his eyes noticed a group of men in black walking by. He lowered his head slightly, and a thought flashed through his mind:

Dieshan City Special Management Bureau… It must be a coincidence, maybe it’s because of the crimes committed by the local awakened human spirits…

After all, this place is not as developed as the capital of Silla and Aurora City. In addition to the chaos caused by evil, there are also many criminal incidents.

It seemed to be a habitual action. After sitting down, he shook his legs frantically, as if waiting for something.

At this moment, he suddenly stopped shaking his legs.

A strange evil spirit suddenly leaked out from his body, and then his whole body suddenly bent down, shaking wildly, and his whole body turned into a hazy state:
Black Goat?! How could it be…?!

In an instant, he felt that someone was watching him.

Ji Li, who was in the Special Management Bureau of Aurora City, suddenly opened his eyes:
“start to act……”

Inside the station, the madly trembling man had attracted the attention of the young men and women next to him. He pushed the people next to him away, knocked down a large number of tour groups, and rushed straight to the entrance.
–
PS: I’m a bit busy today, so I only have one update. I’ll make up for it with three updates tomorrow. I’d like to update more steadily recently, to get back to the state before the Chinese New Year, so I’ll make up for what I can.
