Soul Trigger

Chapter 197: Eight Personality Types (I)

Ji Li's current Trinity realm has reached the peak of the current life form stage, or the soul stage, that is, the peak of the sixth-level awakener.

But after the sixth level, one is promoted from the dominance to immortality, which is the next stage of life and soul form.

After entering immortality, life and soul will undergo earth-shaking changes, and the pure accumulation of spiritual essence is no longer sufficient to promote this process.

A more special way is needed to expand the Trinity, thereby transforming the spirit and the flesh, promoting the evolution of the spirit's "self-nature", and entering immortality.

This process is naturally what Black Box calls "Type 8 Repair".

In spiritual psychology, there are several names for this transitional stage:

In ancient times, the more exaggerated term "demigod" was used, in the theory of the decline of the soul, "half-decay" was used, and in the modern mainstream theory of soul and flesh, "combined soul" was used.

Up to now, the more mainstream scientific name is "Spiritual Lie Period".

But no matter what the scientific name is, it corresponds to the "peak master" in popular terms, which is the stage that Magic Mirror, Qin, Han Xiaofu and others are in.

The first six stages are all a process of constantly accumulating spiritual essence.

"The peak of the sixth stage is the limit of this process. And practicing the 'eighth form' is the time to accumulate and evolve the soul and body."

Ji Li pondered over Black Box's words and flipped through the black leather notebook in his hand.

This was something Black Box gave him, and it was what Film left behind before he left. It recorded a way of practicing the "Eight Types".

Since there are many schools of soul psychology, and it also involves issues related to the inheritance of different awakened associations, the practice methods of the "Eight Types" are different. What Film provides is just one of them.

This is the sentence written at the beginning of the notebook.

The so-called eight types are personality types:
There are four types: Feeling, Thinking, Intuition and Sensing.

Each type is divided into two sides, inner and outer, scientifically known as "extroversion" and "introversion".

Including the four personality types, there are eight in total, hence the “eight types”.

The combined categories are: extroverted/introverted feeling, and extroverted/introverted thinking, and so on.

But this is just a more abstract statement in the theory of soul psychology.

What really applies to the awakened ones is the content that is closely related to the "awakening aura".

The awakening aura is determined by the strong emotions that erupt when the human spirit awakens.

The personality type is determined by a person's spirit itself.

As time goes by, a person's character will gradually become fixed, unless he is a cyber old can like Ji Li, who has lived long enough and experienced enough, so that his character can change in three hundred years.

But the older a person gets, the smaller the changes in his or her personality will become, or even become completely solidified.

Just like unless something big happens, it would be difficult to make Ji Li, who has been indulged all the way from Murphy's giant structure, stop thinking about eating, drinking, having fun and sleeping with girls and turn into an ascetic monk.

Therefore, among these eight types, when you first get started, you will only choose one type to practice, corresponding to the practitioner's personality type.

Is it indifference or enthusiasm?

Is he lonely or cheerful?

To be unique or to go with the flow.

These are all external behavioral manifestations that correspond to the eight personality types.

Uncovering these behavioral traits, corresponding to one of the eight personality types, and integrating them into the law of desire of one's own awakened spiritual light is to cultivate the eight types.

"Too abstract." Ji Li couldn't help but complain as he flipped through his notes.

However, abstract as it is, let’s use the most common expression of the eight-type practice to give an example:
The awakening aura of a loner is "justice".

So what he cultivated was "eccentricity", and the eight types he cultivated when he first entered the sect were "eccentric justice".

From then on, his righteous spiritual essence had a qualitative change caused by the excavation of loneliness, and at the same time, more spiritual characteristics and effects were derived.

If his original spiritual core ability is "burning", then after cultivating to the eighth type, "burning" may become "making high-temperature lasers". At the same time, according to the "introverted personality" he has cultivated, he also has the additional effect of "poisoning".

For example, if it was Cool Girl, maybe she would become "rebellious justice" or "rebellious justice" after cultivating the eighth type... Ji Li complained in his heart.

But at the same time, a solitary person must also have other personality traits. For example, if he is solitary and paranoid, then if he explores his own paranoid traits, what he may eventually achieve is "paranoid justice."

Ji Li then turned over:
Practicing the Eight Forms is also risky, as negativity can lead to corruption.

Although negative emotions are not equal to pessimistic emotions, it is inevitable that when cultivating personality traits such as "introversion" and "melancholy", negative emotions will increase until they become out of control and corrupt.

The process of cultivating the Eight Forms consists of four stages.

It corresponds to the four types of emotion, thinking, intuition and feeling. After completing the cultivation of one's own personality and successfully entering the door, one must cultivate the other three.

There is no order of priority. Every time you master one, you will advance to a corresponding stage.

So how do you practice the eight personality types that do not belong to you?

The answer is "profile visualization".

Through the method of "profile visualization", you can try to understand and learn characteristics and personalities that do not belong to you, so as to cultivate other personality types.

For example, the rebellious cool girl is no longer rebellious. She starts to visualize a profile of a person who is respectful to the wise and respects the elderly and the young.

After successfully profiling and incorporating it into her own law of desire, she may have achieved "moral justice."

However, this situation, which is completely contrary to her own character, is very likely to cause her to suffer from split personality due to emotional conflicts during practice, and eventually become out of control and corrupt.

"I can't even imagine this guy helping Han Xiaofu cross the street with a cigarette in his mouth."

Ji Li was thinking.

The psychological technique of "profiling" seems to be available in various organizations and more advanced associations, and there are specific courses to learn.

Next, the note mentions some special cases:
Different types of awakeners have different situations for the Eighth Type—

The Mourners are personality relics that have been integrated with the residual consciousness of evil. They possess the awakening aura from others, so they need to cultivate two personalities in the first stage.

One is one's own, and the other comes from the relic of the personality that has been integrated into oneself.

Since the eight personality types in the personality relics are not their own personalities, in a sense, they are also a kind of visualization profile.

Moreover, the mourner must cultivate the eight personality types in the personality relic in order to complete the first stage, so this is actually a mixed blessing.

The good thing is that after completing all four stages, there will be at least five types.

The downside is that one must practice Type 2 to complete the first stage, which makes practice too difficult and increases the risk of corruption.

As for the Contracted Demons, who gain power through transactions and contracts, they do not need to cultivate the Eight Forms at all. They only need their own lord to be strong enough and to infuse enough power into them.

But because of this, this personality and spiritual essence that does not belong to them will also cause their madness to increase. Once they are separated from the power bestowed by the sect leader, they will quickly fall into corruption.

Among all types of awakeners, the most special one is the schizord.

"Because the birth of the Splitter is the soul of a person who is already a mental patient, and splits into other personalities. After the other personalities are corrupted into evil, they turn the evil into their own power. Special awakeners..."

It turns out to be split personality.

The basic knowledge that Ji Li obtained at the beginning did not mention the specific birth of the Splitter Envoy, but now it has been completed in this notebook.

"So the reason why the Split User can enter the evil spirit at will is because the moment he awakens, the split personality is corrupted and becomes evil. The evil is himself, and he is the evil, so he can use the power of his 'other self' at will..."

"And because the other self was corrupted into evil, and was transformed into power by the spiritual essence that erupted at the moment of awakening, the main personality of the original body was able to awaken..."

"It's really special. No wonder it's called 'Split', but I'm not actually a Split user."

Ji Li continued reading:

Because of the characteristic of splitting that causes the personality to split before awakening, the number of eight personality types that one needs to cultivate to get started is directly proportional to the number of personalities that are split.

In other words, if a patient has multiple personality disorder and there are exactly eight split personality disorder, he or she must cultivate all eight of them directly.

After the final repair, it is type 11...

And it is much easier than other tasks that require visualization and profiling, or mourning the dead, where one has to forcibly cultivate others.

Because no matter how many personalities he has, they are all himself, personalities that originate from his own memories.

There isn't actually much content in this notebook, but most of it is about the Splinter.

Things like the causes of the split envoy, the promotion of the split envoy, and the practice of the split envoy are all written clearly and concisely.

There is even a special type of cleaver mentioned, which is special among special ones:

In the case of multiple personalities, there arises a situation where the other personalities also form the soul.

As a result, the split caused the Well of Souls, which contained all personalities other than the master, to be super-doubled, thus possessing an abnormally terrifying total amount of ectoplasm.

This is a bit off topic.

Obviously, these contents were specially prepared by Feilin, but what Ji Li wanted to say was:
"I'm not a schizonaut at all."
