As Charle whispered in his mind, Deep Blue began the deduction of Occlumency.
Waves of knowledge flooded into Charle's mind, causing his eyes to show a look of understanding.
Occlumency, rather than being a magic spell, is more of a utilization of mental will.
It doesn't require a wand or incantations, only strong mental power and will, and the ability to call upon one's own mental will.
In a sense, Occlumency is not exclusive to wizards.
Muggle monks, ascetics, meditation practitioners, and even some Muggles with extremely firm will and clear goals, could potentially master Occlumency, either actively or passively.
Some schools call the state of entering Occlumency "Zen meditation," others call it "clear mirror." The names vary, but the effects are largely similar to the wizards' Occlumency.
It's just that compared to the wizards' very complete Occlumency training methods, the difficulty for them to master this thing is higher.
After entering this state, distracting thoughts cease in the mind, and the spirit can become more focused and concentrated, which has miraculous effects on learning and research.
Therefore, for alchemists and Potions Masters among wizards, Occlumency is almost an essential skill.
Not only is it to prevent their exclusive formulas from being dug out of their minds by Legilimency, but also because the state of Occlumency allows them to remain undisturbed by distracting thoughts when they need to concentrate the most.
At this moment, as Deep Blue deduced Occlumency, Charle also gradually felt the wonderful use of this ancient skill, which was highly praised by both Dumbledore and Snape.
He felt the countless scattered thoughts and associations in his mind gradually dissipate.
A feeling of clarity and transparency emerged in his heart, and his spirit and will were becoming more concentrated than ever before.
In Charle's heart, a joy born from instinct arose.
He couldn't remember how long it had been since he felt so pure, perhaps it was when he was a carefree child in his previous life.
But later, as he grew older and came into contact with more information and things, it became increasingly difficult to enter a state of immersion. He could no longer focus on one thing to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep like he did when he was a child.
Even sitting in front of the high-spec computer he had longed for as a child, he felt bored and found it difficult to fully immerse himself in it.
In this life, even though Charle had transmigrated and his body had redeveloped, his soul and spirit were still in an adult state.
But now, with the deduction of Occlumency, Charle felt as if his spirit was being dusted off.
Immediately after, Deep Blue's mechanical prompt sounded in his mind.
"First deduction of Occlumency completed."
The next moment, an unprecedented sense of clarity emerged in Charle's spirit.
He even had a feeling that he could "fix" his brain in a blank state for one or two hours, during which no distracting thoughts would arise.
This state requires wizards to practice Occlumency for many years to enter.
For those Muggle monks and ascetics, it might not be achieved even after decades of effort.
But for Charle, it was just a fleeting moment.
Even because it was the first deduction, the points consumed were just a fraction for Charle.
But the change it brought to Charle was immediate and significant.
Charle raised his wand in surprise and uncertainty.
His spirit was more focused and concentrated than ever before, without the slightest distracting thought, and a Transfiguration spell was cast.
It was much more effortless than before, and the precision and intensity had improved further, as if reaching a new level!
Charle also tried to activate the Night Edge Spell. From his perspective, the light saber bursting from the tip of his wand was much more stable than before, and its power had also increased by a level.
After a moment of contemplation, Charle suddenly understood.
"While the magic of this world is related to the intensity of magic power, it also has idealistic characteristics."
"The Killing Curse requires intense killing intent, the Cruciatus Curse requires a strong urge to torture someone. Even for various everyday spells, the most frequent reminder professors gave to young wizards practicing in the original work was - concentrate, think about the effect of the spell."
"Everything indicates that mental focus and concentration have a great impact on the power of spells and even whether they are effective."
"Before deducing Occlumency, although my spells were as skilled as instinct, my scattered adult mind and uncontrollable distracting thoughts prevented my spirit from being 100% concentrated."
"The power, precision, and other aspects of my spells were all affected."
"Now that the first deduction of Occlumency is complete, I can suppress all distracting thoughts in my mind. When casting spells, it's equivalent to having more mental focus on the spell, so the power and effectiveness of the spell will naturally undergo a complete transformation!"
Having understood this, Charle couldn't help but show joy on his face.
The deduction of Occlumency brought a transformation to his spirit and a significant increase in his strength, which was definitely an unexpected surprise.
He conservatively estimated that his strength had improved by at least fifty percent in all aspects compared to before completing Occlumency.
Charle also understood why Dumbledore and Voldemort, two beings at the pinnacle of wizardry, had such profound attainments in Occlumency and Legilimency.
Perhaps this itself is an essential quality for wizards who want to stand at the top!
"It seems that the importance of Occlumency is even higher than I expected."
"I originally just used it as a key to make myself crazy and enter the dream of R'lyeh, but now, I have to allocate more points to improve it."
"Its importance can even be compared to my Animagus Transformation and Ancient Dragon Form Dragon Language Magic."
After hesitating for a moment, Charle looked at the points required for the second deduction of Occlumency.
It was about a hundred thousand, which was not a burden for him now.
Thinking that he might have to frequently face Dumbledore's and Voldemort's Legilimency in the future, and considering that Occlumency itself provided a good boost to Charle's strength, Charle spoke to Deep Blue again.
"Deep Blue, second deduction of Occlumency."
"Deduction direction... Deduce towards a direction that can continue to enhance spirit."
The next moment, one hundred thousand points were deducted.
A torrent of knowledge surged in like a tide.
Occlumency was already a product of wizards having a thorough understanding of the brain. Its practice efficiency was dozens or even hundreds of times higher than that of Muggles pursuing the same goal.
To take another step forward would require a large number of experiments to achieve.
But at this moment, with the help of Deep Blue, Charle easily surpassed the original scope of Occlumency.
In the state of Occlumency, Charle closed his eyes. What appeared before him was like a mirror, empty and spotless except for himself.
Immediately after, within the mirror, an ancient palace with distinct levels was reflected.
Inside the palace, numerous grids were densely arranged, as if various things could be stored in them, categorized accordingly.
Deep Blue's mechanical prompt sounded at this moment.
"Second deduction of Occlumency completed."
"Host has obtained the spiritual domain cultivation method - Memory Palace."
Sorry for the late update, I think I'm positive and not feeling well. But I will still try my best to complete the ten thousand words before twelve. If my body allows, I will add more chapters. If I can't hold on, I will definitely add more tomorrow.
Thank you for your support.
