Chapter 6, Opportunity

Meanwhile, as the gray-white mutated wolf launched its attack, the two giant wolves beside it were also poised to strike, their targets being the two individuals next to the white-collar woman. As long as any one of them attempted to provide assistance, they would expose their backs to the wolves' gaze, becoming targets for their assault

The vast majority of practitioners possess a secondary personality, which may be activated or still remain dormant. Even ordinary individuals have a secondary personality, one that is hidden in the shadows and unknown to others, yet has not yet emerged as an independent persona

It let out a roar, crouched down, and lunged forward, its wide-open mouth filled with sharp fangs, thick saliva dripping down drop by drop, looking particularly fierce and terrifying. However, its target was not the bespectacled man at the front, but rather the white-collar woman who had been hiding behind others!

Time passes second by second

Dissociative identity disorder

However, as one's cultivation deepens, the formation of true energy occurs, the meridians throughout the body are expanded, ultimately leading to the breaking of 'life' itself

Open the aura

Take a deep breath

In an instant, I traversed the realm between life and death

A sharp pain surged through his wrist. As he raised the Desert Eagle in his hand, the lead wolf lunged at him, biting down on the hand that held the gun with its mouth full of fangs. When the pain transmitted through the central nervous system to Zhao Futu's brain, he instinctively pulled the trigger. Immediately, a dull gunshot echoed, resembling the sound of firecrackers igniting in a confined space, emanating from the massive jaws of the lead wolf

... ...

Yin God

Initially, he used deep hypnosis to seal his second personality, but what Zhao Futu did not expect was that during his daily meditation and cultivation of internal alchemy, this sealed second personality unexpectedly emerged on its own. Practitioners are devoid of emotional fluctuations when they enter deep stillness; their control over emotions reaches a level that is difficult for ordinary people to imagine, and it even indirectly affects them, making it increasingly difficult for them to be moved by women.

At the moment Zhao Futu leaped forward, it sensed the dangerous aura emanating from that human

The inner alchemy unexpectedly transformed Zhao Futu's second personality. Under the sufficient realm of 'stillness cultivation,' the originally unruly and violent second personality began to become restrained. The abundant killing intent settled within, transforming into an absolutely calm and rational tool devoid of emotion. This secondary personality resembled a mechanical entity, and after Zhao Futu's third breakthrough, it even merged with his own aura into a single entity.

When he channels his energy to activate his aura, his alter ego automatically takes over the dominant consciousness and body of the main personality

Initially, Zhao Futu had once fallen into a state of madness, and this time the result of his madness was a personality that became erratic and violent, filled with murderous intent. Just a slight provocation from others could ignite his overwhelming desire to kill. At that time, Zhao Futu could hardly control himself; he even felt that his mind was slipping into chaos. Ultimately, in a state of desperation, he had no choice but to begin experimenting with mental hypnosis, using deep self-hypnosis to heal his psychological wounds.

It is at this moment

Due to the temporary life bonus from the wolf pack, the health of the lead wolf should be around 300 points. The Desert Eagle inflicts a critical hit damage of 180 points at close range, which can only bring it to a severely injured state. However, the bullet directly struck the brain, and to Zhao Futu's surprise, a death effect prompt appeared in his consciousness. Immediately afterward, a message appeared stating that the target failed to resist the death effect and subsequently died.

Zhao Futu's chest rose and fell with increasing steadiness, almost maintaining the same arc. His breathing was long and powerful, and his gaze remained fixed on the massive head wolf. At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into another person; his expression was devoid of emotion, and his face bore an unsettling calmness, akin to a precise machine calculating the most accurate timing.

Indeed, there are countless charlatans in this world, making it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood. The concepts of right and wrong are inherently meaningless. If one were to express something meaningful, it would be this: since I have come into this world, I have no intention of returning alive.

After the death of the lead wolf, Zhao Futu felt as if he had just taken a bath, drenched in cold sweat. However, he still remembered that there were many mutated prairie wolves around. He rolled over and got up, disregarding the pain in his wrist, and aimed his gun at a giant wolf beside him

This is not a joke

Practicing internal alchemy is not a trivial matter; throughout history, countless individuals have suffered paralysis or even death due to the dangers of misguided practice. However, most of these individuals have chosen to live in seclusion, remaining unknown to others. Ordinary health-preserving qigong poses no significant issues. To be frank, even aspiring to the state of misguided practice would not qualify at that level.

That instance of obsession came at the cost of Zhao Futu's breakup with the only girlfriend he had ever dated

In fact

... ...

Enter tranquility

... ...

Zhao Futu took a deep breath, leaped forward with great force, and reached for the silver Desert Eagle on the ground. In that instant, his movement caught the attention of the leading wolf. This alpha wolf, with an exceptionally keen animal instinct, detected Zhao Futu's action and immediately let out a howl as it lunged at him. This alpha wolf, infected with the werewolf virus, was extraordinarily powerful; its animal instinct could even rival that of some true werewolves

Although Zhao Futu is able to manage both personalities well through the suppression of inner alchemy, there are times when he is involuntarily influenced by the second personality, which is the result of the self-hypnotic sealing he initially performed using hypnosis. This secondary personality is devoid of emotion, mechanical in nature, and filled with a murderous intent.

The Buddhist concept of 'red powder skeleton' precisely embodies this mindset

Of course

Snap

The risk of becoming obsessed is also increasing.

The intelligence of these mutated prairie wolves appears to be quite peculiar; they first eliminate the most significant threat and then target the weakest individual, thereby weakening the enemy's strength. Although the intelligence of prairie wolves is limited, they evidently understand one thing: among humans, the combat capability of females is considerably weak, making them the easiest to deal with.

Generally, individuals who have achieved mastery in their spiritual practice possess a completely independent sub-personality that complements their main personality. This sub-personality is an indispensable part of their understanding of the 'fate' barrier, and it even plays a crucial role in maintaining the existence of their soul after the death of their physical body. Only a completely emotionless sub-personality can assist them in navigating the illusory realm during the critical moments of fate, a realm in which they are entirely unaware of their own presence.

The bullet penetrates the target's cerebral lobe! Fatal effect triggered! ... ... Fatal effect assessment! ... ... The target failed to evade the fatal effect! ... ... The target is dead! ... ...

Consciousness is merely a vessel; whether it is one vessel or two is of no importance. What matters is to distinguish between primary and secondary, thus consciousness ultimately remains singular.

Zhao Futu has already reached the point of breaking the '命' barrier, and his perception has touched the edge of the soul

It did not hesitate and launched a lethal attack towards Zhao Futu

Even with his eyes closed, Zhao Futu could clearly sense the movements of the twelve mutated prairie wolves

At point-blank range, the formidable lethality of the Desert Eagle was fully unleashed. The bullet entered the brain through the upper jawbone of the lead wolf, penetrating its skull and creating a gaping wound several centimeters wide on the top of its head. Blood gushed forth, splattering up to several meters high, and the sizable lead wolf did not even have time to let out a mournful cry before being killed on the spot

There is only one soul

Bang!!!

Throughout history, most practitioners of Taoism have been scholars. Scholars tend to enjoy playing with words and do not favor straightforward speech. They refer to this independent aspect, which is sublimated after the breaking of the '命' (ming) barrier, as a secondary personality akin to a tool, elegantly named:

There are countless Daoist cultivation methods circulating in the outside world, many of which, as one delves deeper into the later stages, subtly influence a person's character. Many practitioners are indifferent to female beauty, as their control over emotions becomes increasingly profound, making it difficult for them to be moved even by the most beautiful women.

The main personality is the self, while the secondary personality serves as a tool

Ultimately, this has, under the promotion of those charlatans, transformed into an omnipotent divine power. Although it essentially remains merely a branch of consciousness, an extension of the soul, and a tool-like alter ego.

Until now, he has not had much desire for in-depth communication with girls. At the same time, while using hypnosis to treat his mental trauma, Zhao Futu had to accept a reality: he had formed a second personality under self-hypnosis

This is not good news

If one must give an evaluation, it would be that this personality is somewhat cold

That is an impossible matter

When Zhao Futu grasped the silver-white Desert Eagle, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, followed by a strong smell of blood wafting from behind him, accompanied by an oppressive coldness that targeted his cervical vertebrae. In this life-and-death moment, Zhao Futu could not afford to hesitate for even a second; he swiftly exerted force, rolled to the side, and immediately aimed the Desert Eagle in his hand at what was behind him

At last, a robust mutant wolf with grayish-white fur could no longer contain itself and was the first to launch an attack

Consistency between inner and outer self

In this world, there are spirits; the wicked can be slain
