As soon as the Human Emperor Banner came out, I became the Lord of the Old Ones

Chapter 134 Island of Beasts

Every human being has an "id, ego, and superego".

It also includes "beastly nature, human nature, and divine nature".

The essence of the "Mind Palace Meditation Method" is to bring to the surface and make concrete the deepest subconscious in the human brain, and even more subtle concepts such as "ancestral memories, unconsciousness, animality, and superego," through meditation.

In this way, we can better understand ourselves and thus master our own souls as well as the souls of others.

Apart from Xu Yan, who transmigrated twice and possessed a triple soul, everyone's genetic sea is largely the same because everyone shares a common ancestor and a similar evolutionary process.

But on the “island of bestiality” rising from the “sea of ​​genes”, differentiation began to emerge.

The "Island of Beasts" for the brave is teeming with jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards.

The "island of bestiality" of the coward may consist of lush, wild, and intricate jungles, where all the animals born of bestiality are tightly bound by thorny vines, unable to move at all.

The island of the ambitious and enterprising still maintains intense underwater volcanic activity. The island is full of strange rocks, waterfalls, and even volcanic craters that have not yet been extinguished, which may spew out molten lava at any time.

The "Island of Beasthood" for introverted, melancholic, and deep-thinking individuals is filled with swamps and deep valleys. Not only can others not fully understand it, but even the individuals themselves may never be able to fully comprehend it in their lifetime. Furthermore, when provoked, these swamps and valleys can unleash ferocious beasts that even they cannot imagine, causing them to do things that shock everyone.

The "island of bestiality" for most people is shrouded in mist. Whether it is birds and beasts, cliffs and waterfalls, or strange rocks and giant trees, only the tip of the iceberg is revealed, which means that most ordinary people do not have the courage to face their most instinctive desires.

For a Spirit Master, exploring their own island of beasthood helps activate their instincts as an animal, as the most intelligent of all beings, and as the ultimate predator at the top of the food chain. This mobilizes the activity of every cell, and when combined with the "Mimetic Breathing Technique" and the "Wheel of Life Guiding Technique," they can cultivate their flesh and blood to be as hard as steel, and become the most powerful beast in the world.

Ultimately, by cultivating a "Tree of Law" on the "Island of Beasts," and using "humanity" to control "beastly nature," one can enter a completely new realm.

however……

Xu Yan, however, discovered that his island of beastly nature was different from others.

Even if ordinary people dare not or are unwilling to face their most primal instincts, their island of bestiality is at most shrouded in a thin layer of gray mist.

Xu Yan's island of beastly nature was tightly shrouded by a massive, mountain-like black mist that was so thick that one could not see their own hand in front of their face and was constantly churning and expanding.

The black mist, like a living demon, constantly bared its fangs and claws, causing the surrounding seawater to surge and churn, creating deafening crashing waves.

Deep within the black fog, faint flashes of lightning and thunder could be heard. Crimson lightning, like dragons soaring into the sky, appeared and disappeared among the black fog.

When the crimson dragon occasionally tore open a few winding gaps in the black mist, Xu Yan seemed to see all his primal instincts transform into prehistoric behemoths even more terrifying than the "Abyssal Demon Lizard," roaring, colliding, fighting, and devouring each other.

"Is this my primal instinct, my animalistic nature?"
"So wild!"
"There's no reason for it. I feel like I'm quite gentle and refined."

Xu Yan was about to use his mind to tear through the black mist, quell the lightning, and subdue the primal instincts that had transformed into prehistoric behemoths.

Suddenly, he heard the rumbling sound of waves coming from the end of the boundless sea of ​​genes.

Looking into the distance, the sea on the horizon has suddenly been engulfed by towering, raging waves that blot out the sky.

Xu Yan was slightly stunned.

What's going on? Didn't I already break free from the interference of the Sea of ​​Genes and find my primal instincts from thousands of memories?

Moreover, there were no signs or sensations of him going astray.

Why are my brainwaves so chaotic, as if my entire brain is about to boil? Xu Yan's mind raced, and he realized a possibility.

He sensed something was wrong and quickly exited the meditation world.

The island of bestiality and the sea of ​​genes have become mottled and indistinct.

First, the high-definition image with every detail was transformed into a pixelated image filled with colorful blocks. Then, all the pixels turned into fluttering butterflies, and the phosphorus dust sprinkled between the butterfly wings turned into raging flames. After the flames subsided, Xu Yan's consciousness returned to the real world, and he found himself still sitting cross-legged in the center of the training field, breathing deeply, with vigorous blood and energy, and explosive power surging deep within his muscle fibers.

[Life Index +0.1]

[Life Index +0.1]

……

Congratulations! Your Life Index has increased significantly. Your current Life Index is 19.6.

A dazzling stream of information poured down like a waterfall.

Xu Yan had no time to take stock of what he had gained from this meditation.

He lunged at Xiong Ruyue, whose eyes were glazed over, face was flushed, white smoke rose from her head, and whose muscles were spasming and twitching, making her look like she was about to collapse.

"Sister Xiong?"

As expected, Xiong Ruyue's brainwaves and even her life magnetic field were abnormally disordered.

His forehead was burning hot, and his blood was flowing so fast that you could see ripples like a flood breaking through a dam on the surface of his skin. The capillaries were bursting, and his whole body was covered with a shocking red tide.

Although her eyes were still open, she had lost the ability to react to external stimuli. Even when Xu Yan shone a light on her, her pupils could not dilate or contract in time.

These are typical symptoms of going astray in cultivation.

Xu Yan frowned slightly.

Xiong Ruyue is a practitioner of the Wukaliu style of cultivation with a family tradition of learning. In the terms of the cultivation world, she is a "body cultivator" who forges herself into a magical artifact. She started practicing the "Mind Palace Meditation Method" before she could even speak. Logically speaking, it is impossible for her to easily suffer from qi deviation.

However, the events of the day dealt her a heavy blow, and Xiong Tieshan's fall deprived her of her most reliable support. Naturally, her heart was filled with regret, confusion, and even fear, and she was not as strong as she appeared on the outside.

Perhaps, she has always been sustained by a strong sense of responsibility.

Use the "teaching Xu Yan meditation method" to divert attention.

She must have just sensed that Xu Yan had broken through the first stage of the "Mind Palace Meditation Method".

From this moment on, she will no longer be needed as a guide; he can throw off his crutches and walk independently.

This is certainly a good thing.

But it deprived her of an excuse to distract herself and escape reality.

As she meditated deeply, confronting her truest inner world, her attention shifted back to the predicament of the Kuangtie Club and her father's illness.

In a moment of carelessness, I was exploited by my most primal fear, which seized the opportunity and hijacked my mind, leading to this situation!
