Chapter 13 (2/2)

”Empty your mind, don't have superfluous thoughts, and then relax as much as possible - the whole process is like a trip. You will fall into the sea of your own memory. When you wake up again, you will step into the void.”

With a faint expectation, Loren closed his eyes and breathed slowly to relax his body. I just vaguely noticed that my forehead was lightly touched, like the ripples on the water, and the originally sober spirit was empty in an instant.

It's gray.

This feeling is really special. Loren feels that he can ”see” things around him, but he can't see himself, as if he had a ”God's perspective”. Everything around seems to have lost color, monotony, blank, nothingness

For the first time in his life, Loren didn't know how to describe his experience. He seemed to fall from the fresh world into a book with white background and black frame - for example, it was like a chair made of wood and nailed with nails, which suddenly became a ”word” composed of several letters and symbols!

This surprise and joy even made Lauren's consciousness fluctuate a little, so that he had to restrain his excessive excitement. Like a child looking at his new toy, he carefully observed the world that was completely beyond his concept.

According to the book ”stepping into meditation”, I am not really entering the void, but just ”wandering in my mind” in the process of building my own spiritual palace.

This is the only way for all wizards - after all, meditation is only a means of meditation and recovery, not risking entering the void every time. The spiritual palace is the product of such a compromise.

Strengthen self memory, control and cognition of emptiness, spiritual sensitivity, and what Loren is most curious and concerned about at present - any wizard who wants to use magic must be built and improved in his own spiritual palace.

It's really getting more and more interesting... At first, Loren thought that the spiritual palace was a memory means similar to the thinking palace, but it seems that it is not limited to this. I must design and construct it myself in order to make it perfect, not just store my memory.

The bricks and stones that build this ”Palace” are the power of emptiness. As for now, my palace basically has no foundation, and there is a construction site

The spirit and consciousness are like passing through the surging torrent. They trace back from the spiritual palace to their own body. The original nothingness of the world has color again, the lost focus gradually returns to normal, and slowly open their eyes.

Sure enough... Even if you recover your consciousness, you are still not disconnected from the spiritual palace in your mind, and you can still clearly feel its existence. The corners of Loren's mouth rose slightly, and the joy in his pupils flashed by.

But when he glanced slightly, it was dark outside the window, and Loren almost blurted out, ”how long has it been

”It's been a whole day.” the little wizard who was still sitting there yawned and his eyes were tired: ”it's all right. It's your first meditation. It's normal not to notice the time.”

”Let's do it today. Mentor Dalton will officially start teaching you some basics tomorrow.” after yawning, Ayn Rand stretched and stood up: ”if you need help, my room is next door. Remember to knock if you need help.”

”I will.” Lauren smiled and watched the little wizard leave until the door was closed again, the darkness returned to the room, and the smile on his face turned into excitement and ecstasy again.

”If the void is the abyss, magic is evil...” Lauren said to himself, taking advantage of the moonlight outside the window.

”Then I have fallen beyond measure now!”
