368 Chapter 370 Great Consciousness
He closed his eyes and began to meditate.
He held the magic crystal with both hands and began to absorb its energy.
2,000!
At the moment when breakthrough 2,000, a torrent-like resistance burst out in his deep consciousness.
This was the consciousness barrier.
It did not exist in a certain physiological tissue, but was similar to some kind of shackles in the mind, and was a kind of concept barrier.
It was something that had been set in one’s mind since the very beginning of human birth.
In the room, Andrew’s hair was blown upside down. There was nothing unusual in the room, but his body seemed to be in a strong wind.
2,001!
Magic power became a little stronger, and the gale in his mind suddenly increased.
‘It was not a big deal now.
But the problem was that just by increasing 1 magic power, the strength of the consciousness windstorm had increased by such a large amount.
If it goes on, how much magic power will I be unable to bear?
And I don’t believe that the difficulties of breaking through to be a holy mage will be only as simple as the consciousness storm.’
Andrew gradually lost his confidence.
Breaking through the consciousness barrier was like a boat sailing against the current. He just could go or retreat.
Now the medicine was not used, and the magic crystals consumed were almost negligible.
Now, there was still a way back.
If he continued, it would be difficult for him to give up. Otherwise, his cultivation would be destroyed, or he would die on the spot.
After thinking for a while, Andrew made up his mind.
‘No, I want to go on!
I don’t have time to slow down.
From afar, I’m going to deal with the four holy kings.
I saw Rachel, Joe, and Jo were waiting for my help.
I must become a strong man as soon as possible.’
After making up his mind, Andrew began to draw out the energy of the magic crystal crazily.
2,002… 2,003… 2,004…
It was so difficult for him to improve his magic power.
When Andrew magic power reached 2,010, the strength of the consciousness storm was more than a hundred times stronger than before!
It was too strong!
The strong wind like a knife seemed to tear his consciousness into thousands of pieces.
Being in this torrent-like whirlpool, one’s consciousness was very easy to lose.
Andrew gritted his teeth and closed his eyes to touch the bottle.
Frozen heart drug.
It was a kind of drug to resist the illusion of the curse-type mage. It could keep people’s consciousness clear after using it.
It could also be used during breaking through the consciousness, which was more convenient for him to maintain his consciousness.
Sure enough, the consciousness seemed to be protected by an invisible barrier when he used the first bottle of the drug.
Although it couldn’t fully protect him, he did feel that the damage caused by the torrent of consciousness had reduced by more than seventy or eighty percent.
“I can make it.
If I keep moving forward, I can do it.”
Andrew closed his eyes subconsciously.
2,015… 2,020… 2,025…
Under the strong wind, the huge resistance seemed to peel off Andrew’s skin.
Even with the help of medicine, when his magic power reached 2,035, the resistance of the consciousness storm made him unable to go any further.
It was as heavy as pushing a mountain forward.
He had to force himself even just stay where he was.
It was difficult for him to take even one more step. As long as he relaxed a little, he would retreat.
But…
Quack! Quack!
He gritted his teeth.
Andrew touched a new drug.
It was a kind of drug similar to adrenaline. It only worked on the brain and could make people keep conscious even if they were in a coma. It was a kind of drug for interrogation.
Using this drug here can let Andrew spend less strength to stay where he was.
VPG208 was a kind of eye-strengthening drug, which was more than one hundred times better than magic. Although there was a risk of blindness if it was used, it was not a big problem occasionally.
Using it now could help Andrew maintain a better sense of direction in the torrent.
“Come on. Insist!
Although it’s very difficult, I still have a lot of methods!”
Andrew changed his strategy. With the help of the drug, he stood still and accumulated his strength. When he got ready, he took a step forward.
Slowly moving forward, his magic power quickly reached 2,050.
“Coo!”
In reality, Andrew was sweating profusely. His clothes were soaked in sweat.
Even with the help of three kinds of drugs, Andrew finally couldn’t move a single step.
The moment his magic power crossed 2,050, the wind changed.
The wind seemed to have turned into countless roaring ghosts.
The whistling wind seemed to be mixed with the cries of countless people who had died miserably.
‘What was going on?’
Andrew could feel that this sadness didn’t belong to him.
Every howl here was from the dead.
‘Did they the person I killed before?
No, I haven’t killed more than 1,000 people until now.
Even if I killed 2,000 people when I tried to kill Strout, only about 800 of them were killed by me. The rest were killed by Nason, Taylor, and Jo.’
However, in this gale, the number of ghosts was at least a million.
“This is the great consciousness.”
Just then, Andrew heard Lucy’s voice in his mind.
“What is it?”
“Every consciousness has existed in the universe before human beings were born. The universe itself is a huge collection of consciousness, and what you are facing now is a small part of the great consciousness.”
“The gathering of consciousness?”
“For the strongest warriors at the top level, the appearance of the world is not fixed, it could change for the strong’s will. Strong thoughts can directly change reality, and reality itself is formed by thoughts.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Master, what you are facing is not the soul, but countless original consciousness. All consciousness in the world is a whole part. Even if you become a human being or a beast, it is essentially connected with the great consciousness.”
“You mean, the essence of breaking through the consciousness barrier is to let an individual’s consciousness separate from this great consciousness?”
“Yes! Keep yourself, master. What you have done is just a prelude. The real difficulty is from 2,050 to 2,150.
The great consciousness would not allow an individual to easily get rid of it. Noticing that the great consciousness that you wanted to get rid of, was trying to pull you back.
As long as you are distracted for a moment, your consciousness will be torn apart.”
“I see. I haven’t used my full strength yet!”
Without any hesitation, Andrew took the medicine to strengthen his mind and absorb more power.
All of a sudden, the wails of the ghosts around were dispersed.
Andrew calmed down and walked forward.
