Chapter 334: Practicing Meditation (2)

Du Zhengyi came after all. His face was livid, his expression full of impatience, and he sat on the ground with his arms crossed, listening to Luo Qi explain the detailed situation in front of the Old Mage.

"I just don't understand, your stupid brain can imagine me as an equilateral triangle. You should understand that the structure of an equilateral triangle is the most stable," Du Zhengyi said impatiently.

"This one doesn't like having edges and corners," Luo Qi said with a serious air.

"A circle?" Du Zhengyi asked with a glimmer of hope.

"Hmm..." Luo Qi pondered.

"You're trying to turn me into a geometric shape, aren't you?" Du Zhengyi asked, and Luo Qi nodded obediently but weakly. "Fine, this one will choose a magnificent shape for himself, one that is worthy of my own self."

"What shape is that? A triangular pyramid?" Luo Qi couldn't help but laugh after saying it himself.

Du Zhengyi glared at him, "A Metatron Cube."

"Uh-huh," Luo Qi hummed, "Impressive, you represent an entire world all by yourself."

Unexpectedly, the Highland Mage expressed approval of this.

"I think this is a viable approach. The Dao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, and Three gives birth to all things. What is constructed repeatedly is the entire world. You can imagine your entire spiritual world as a Metatron Cube; Du Zhengyi is your starting point, and you will obtain the entire World Tree."

"Did you hear that? Start working, kid," Du Zhengyi said bluntly, having received the Old Mage's affirmation.

"Alright, I'll start meditating now, I'll try my best to control myself," Luo Qi said. He hesitated for a moment, looked at the two people in front of him, and then closed his eyes.

"You can try meditating too," the Highland Mage said to Du Zhengyi.

"But I am not a Mind Mage, and my barriers are built very thick; even having a pile of plants here cannot affect me," Du Zhengyi said.

"Meditation is also good for you. You need a stable and solid spiritual world more than the average person," the Highland Mage said.

"I have my own way of meditating," Du Zhengyi said firmly.

The Highland Mage was a bit curious about this. But before he could ask, Luo Qi opened his eyes and said, "He means sleeping."

"Don't talk to us, you big fool," Du Zhengyi said unceremoniously, "We are all here accompanying you, can you cherish the time?"

Luo Qi closed his eyes in guilt, feeling rather uncomfortable inside.

"Du Mage. Meditation requires a peaceful state; you shouldn't be scolding him here," the Highland Mage said kindly.

"It's fine, Luo Qi is a good kid. If you want to raise a child well, the best way is to make him feel guilty toward you," Du Zhengyi said. "He will try to adjust himself."

"Perhaps so, but Du Mage, you must never lose your subjective consciousness in the place where a Mind Mage is meditating. Sleeping in a place filled with a Mind Field is extremely dangerous for you. When you are asleep, your active consciousness is at its weakest," the Highland Mage said.

Luo Qi immediately opened his eyes and glared fiercely at Du Zhengyi.

"Fine," Du Zhengyi finally said helplessly, his tone softening significantly, "Fine, I have learned how to meditate after all, I can do it myself."

"I suggest you master the method of meditation. For your situation, meditation can bring you more rest than sleep," the Highland Mage said.

"Mm." Du Zhengyi nodded, indicating he accepted this suggestion, and only then did the Highland Mage turn to Luo Qi to continue guiding Luo Qi's meditation.

"Unlike the general perception of Telepaths, Telepaths should actually be more rational people compared to other Mages. Rationality can ensure our minds are orderly. Our minds are like well-maintained irrigation canals; our Mind Force will flow out from our minds naturally like a river, forming a more powerful and purposeful force. This can avoid the disastrous consequences of Original Force running rampant like a flood. When you are ready, we can proceed to the next step. Now continue to complete the meditation and clear your mind."

Luo Qi felt that Du Zhengyi had indeed agreed to the Highland Mage's request, and soon he felt Du Zhengyi's consciousness sink into a state more tranquil than sleep. He knew Du Zhengyi had started meditating, and was doing even better than him; he felt a sense of relief, and a sense of relaxation after exhaustion.

Although Luo Qi still spent quite a bit of effort eliminating all sorts of strange and bizarre distracting thoughts this time, fortunately, the obstacles encountered were not particularly serious, nor did he suffer any severe mental backlash. A few minutes later, he finally entered a relatively decent state of Primary Meditation.

"After mastering the method of meditation, you can meditate on your own, preferably at night. Ensure at least two hours of time for meditation every day; I suggest you keep this habit for life. If necessary, you can also extend the meditation time. Meditation is a better method of rest than sleep, and it can also accelerate the self-healing speed of your own spiritual body after it has been damaged," the Highland Mage transmitted information in the Consciousness World, "Now I will merge part of my consciousness with yours to help you organize your Consciousness Space and share with you the methods for treating mental trauma; this is a basic skill that every Mind Mage should have."

"Awesome," Luo Qi muttered. "Can I end the meditation?"

"No. The process of knowledge synchronization will consume a large amount of your mental energy; only in a meditative state can the possibility of damage be minimized."

Luo Qi secretly thought that he had never had such a hard time before; whenever he wanted to seize knowledge, he would just eat it directly. His Slime Form was a baby that could eat anything.

"There are many injuries in your spiritual body caused by reckless behavior," the Highland Mage's consciousness sounded again, "Your Original Force is very powerful, and it is fortunate that it is so, otherwise your spirit might have already been torn apart."

"I often have headaches and have had nosebleeds several times," Luo Qi replied.

"That indicates that the injuries you have sustained are already very serious," the Highland Mage pondered for a moment, "I can run a diagnostic consciousness now to probe your spiritual world."

"Then I won't be able to keep my little secrets, right?"

"That is indeed the case, so I suggest it be completed by someone closer to you; family might be better," the Highland Mage said.

"My parents are Mind Mages, but the situation is special, and I estimate it will be a long time before I can see them."

"Then wait until you have mastered the diagnostic method before checking yourself. Just remember the principle that haste makes waste; what you need to do can only be completed one step at a time."

"But I've been thrown into the deep end, I can't help but choke on water."

"Stay calm. Unfold the things that worry you and spread them out into several small matters that don't need to be worried about."

"I... understand," Luo Qi responded in his consciousness, and his Consciousness World sank into a deeper level of tranquility.

Diagonally across from him, Du Zhengyi suddenly opened his eyes.

"Someone is coming," he said, "A lot of people."
