Cultivation Required Studying Psychology Too

Su Xi remained silent.

After a soft sigh, his gaze returned to the Gospels.

"What exactly are 'id' and 'ego'? What is my relationship with that White Clad Sword Immortal..." Su Xi looked on with a melancholy expression.

Nymph connected to the Mind Net and searched for a while.

"This seems to be a psychological theory."

"The id, in simple terms, can be described as a person's subconscious, representing that person's most primal desires and impulses."

"The self is the mindset that governs daily actions. For example, all actions you take while you are awake can be called the 'self'."

"In addition to the id and ego, there is also a superego."

"The superego can be said to be a person's moral values, but this theory is very broad."

"Some people feel guilty for stepping on an ant, while others feel no guilt even if they kill someone."

"To put it simply, the relationship between these three is as follows: the 'id' is impulsive and disorderly, and will do anything to achieve its goals; the 'ego' is to suppress the disorder and chaos of the 'id' and to help the 'id' achieve its goals in a rational way; and the 'superego' is to consider whether the goal is achievable in Combine with Dao concepts."

"In short, the main function of these three is to maintain personality stability, and none of them can be missing. Among them, the id has the highest priority. Both the ego and the superego serve to suppress the demands of the id."

Su Xi was a little confused. "Why are you studying psychology now?"

Nymph shrugged and said, "I'm just stating the answer I found. According to what you wrote in your Gospel, it's roughly that the 'ego' is very dissatisfied with the behavior of the 'id' and intends to come out to suppress it, but after thinking it over and over, it can't find any other ideas to satisfy the 'id', so it can only leave helplessly."

Su Xi felt that knowledge was entering her mind in a very despicable way, but since she had never been exposed to psychology, she still didn't quite understand these things, and said, "Could you give me a simpler example?"

Nymph looked at Su Xi with a look of disdain, as if she were an idiot.

"Id: I'm hungry, I want to eat meat."

"Self: There are pigs and people in front of me, I can kill them to satisfy my hunger and also satisfy my desire to eat meat."

"Superego: Cannot kill."

"So, taking all three factors into account, the hungry person will eventually choose to kill the pig and eat its meat."

Su Xi nodded, somewhat enlightened. "I see."

Nymph rolled her eyes and said, "If this situation were reversed for you, then..."

"Su Xi (Id): I want to reverse time and change my fate (I don't care what price I have to pay, I just want to achieve my goal)."

"White Clad Sword Immortal (Self): Can we find another way (very concerned about the price to pay)? If not, how about killing the 'true self' and ending the trial early..."

"Inner Demon (superego): I can't kill, or I will become Inner Demon."

Hearing this, Su Xi slapped her thigh hard and said, "I understand!"

"So I still have to thank my Inner Demon, otherwise I would have been killed by him long ago."

"I have a feeling you've been too busy lately. Is this really the focus? Shouldn't the focus be on things like the Mortal Trial, cultivation, and senior and junior brothers and sisters?" Nymph complained.

"That's what they say, but I don't even know who they are, where they are, or what their sect is called. How can I focus on this important point? Apart from knowing that Joy Esti is my junior sister and that she has joined the demonic path, I know nothing else..." Su Xi shook her head.

"Junior sister... tsk tsk, with this relationship, this junior sister still gets along so well with Kurumi."

Su Xi struggled for a moment and said, "... She's not my junior sister anymore. After all, according to that White Clad Sword Immortal, she has already joined the demonic path."

Nymph rolled her eyes. "Heh."

"I suggest you hang Yuan Yi up and torture her when you get back, and ask her if there's anything she hasn't said yet."

Su Xi pondered for a moment, "Indeed."

As they chatted, the two, led by the Dragon King Arnos, arrived at Dragon Island, located in the sky.

Since Dragon Island hasn't fallen out with the Elf race yet, it hasn't realized the power of the Descenders. Su Xi and Nymph are the first players to log into Dragon Island in the three years since the game launched.

An unfamiliar aura appeared on Dragon Island, instantly attracting many curious onlookers.

Even through the void, Su Xi could feel many gazes falling upon her.

But because Dragon King Arnos was leading the way, the other dragons only dared to watch secretly and did not dare to show their faces.

Until they entered a magnificent dragon palace, an enormous palace filled with jewels and gold.

Although neither Su Xi nor Nymph were the type to be easily swayed by money, they were still shocked by the extravagance of the palace when they entered.

Su Xi had no doubt that any piece of gold dust scraped off this wall could fetch a high price in the City Alliance.

They're rich, fucking rich.

Could the Fallen Ones' conquest of Dragon Island in their previous life have been partly due to this money?

After all, the Fallen Ones NPCs also need to give quest rewards to players of the Fallen Faction...

"Arnos, what brings you here with two little girls?" A golden-red dragon was coiled on the enormous throne.

Not only did his luxurious throne demonstrate his immense wealth, but even the single golden scale on his body exuded nobility.

As expected of the Dragon God.

It was so stunning from the moment it appeared.

If the structure of this Dragon God Palace were recorded as a video and uploaded to the Mind Net, it would probably get over 100 million views in just one night.

"My God, I have been imprisoned in Space-Time Vortex for hundreds of years due to my carelessness. Today, I have been saved by this girl. I hope that she can choose three items from the treasure vault."

"Oh? Another lucky fellow who received a gift from a dragon." Dragon God Suter opened his eyes with interest and looked at the two little ones standing next to Arnos.

"Huh, you actually have the blessings of Luo'er, Rozaer, and Kura Ha's Blessing on you." The Dragon God's vertical pupils lit up slightly, and he said, "You are the Holy Maiden of the Elf race?"

"Uh... yes." I didn't expect the Dragon God to still remember me.

Luo'er, Rozaer, and Kura Ha all happened two years ago.

"No, the aura around you... is so strange." Suter frowned, his hot breath escaping from his large nostrils.

"Interesting."

Suter transformed into a man with golden-red hair, approached Su Xi, and smiled, "I wonder if you'd be interested in joining us and becoming a dragon..."

"Ahem, Your Highness the Dragon God, we've only come to select some treasures."

Su Xi quickly implied that she had no intention of joining the Dragon Clan.

The Life Level of the Holy Tree is already equal to that of the Dragon God, so why bother adding the Dragon race?
