Chapter 524: Signing this contract makes you a Little Witch~
With my recent improvements to the Great Knowledge Tree, aided by the spell effect of the Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Spell, I completed the derivation of the Great Knowledge Tree’s “double tree structure.”
I have developed the Great Knowledge Tree’s utilization of Extraordinary Knowledge, promoting its balance between the Sea of Consciousness and the Dream World, which has led to the birth of the sixth sense in body cultivation.
If you ask what specific enhancements have been made… in summary, first, I have made a preliminary attempt at developing the spell effect of the Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Spell, marking a solid first step for this grand spellbook.
Second, I have improved the Great Knowledge Tree. This refinement reflects in various subtle aspects, such as having a clearer insight into the transformation of earth energy when using the Earth Vein Identification Technique, and an enhanced ability for processing information by the Great Knowledge Tree, among other things.
Of course, the most important achievement is that the Great Knowledge Tree has completed its “dominion” over the Dream World through the “double tree structure,” which means that as long as I use the Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Spell in conjunction, I can exclusively use the Great Knowledge Seed within the Dream World, completely resolving the awkward predicament where the Fool Dream was unable to utilize it.
Lastly, regarding the sixth sense in body cultivation, after the academy head shared some fundamental knowledge about body cultivation, Sister Bai also shared her body cultivation knowledge with me, giving me a new understanding of “Heart Realm.”
If the five senses are specific physical perceptions, then Heart Sense is an abstract perception of body cultivation; it does not mean the heart gains sensory capability, but instead, as “Heart Sense” develops through practice, the first feeling of perception is sensing the opponent’s heartbeat. This is not hearing but a “heartbeat resonance,” allowing one to perceive a shallow representation of the opponent’s state.
Then comes the Heart Realm. Many might say that the Heart Realm in body cultivation is merely the application of mental power over consciousness, but that’s not entirely accurate.
The power of the Heart Realm is far more complex than mere mental power; it is a subjective manifestation of an individual’s will and inner realm; it is often referred to as the power of the soul. Due to this complexity, the subjective manifestation of Heart Sense is referred to as the “proto-form of the field.”
This has touched upon the rendition of field control in the normal cultivation system.
In body cultivation, aside from the fundamental practice of the five senses, there are the sixth sense of Heart Sense, the seventh sense of Time Sense, and the eighth sense of Space Sense. As for the ninth sense… perhaps it exists, but Sister Bai is currently not very clear on it.
Even Sister Bai has only just ascended to Extraordinary Witch, the transformation of five senses into genuine five senses has catalyzed the birth of the sixth sense of Heart Sense and subsequent practice.
Thus, her understanding of the seventh and eighth senses remains theoretical.
These are the achievements I have made during this recent “slumber.” It’s somewhat incredible; if I could… I would like to achieve this level every day.
Even though I know it’s impossible, I can take it step by step.
Just like now.
After completing the derivation of the spell effect of the Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Spell for the Fool Dream, the two spell effects now depend on each other, completely resolving the earlier encountered issues. The Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Tree formed by the Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Spell now resembles the water from my previous “soil-less cultivation,” allowing the Great Knowledge Seed to take root and sprout within the Dream World. Furthermore, the Great Knowledge Tree of Fool Dream is also different from others; it is nearly identical to mine… a “double tree structure.”
Mine, however, is somewhat different from Fool Dream’s “double tree structure,” as one of my trees is the essence of the grand spellbook. My ambition is, if possible, to derive the Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Spell into the Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Tree, making it a completely intertwined grand spellbook, effectively uniting the two grand spellbooks into one.
Although this is merely an aspiration and not a reality yet, there is another discovery I cannot ignore: the spell effect of the Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Spell, combined with the Great Knowledge Tree, has generated an unknown “Extraordinary Energy.”
With a wave of my hand, the energy emerges. This energy belongs to a very complex mixed energy, whose properties are quite unique; even its manifestations in material space are quite interesting.
The emergence of this energy causes it to flow in the most suitable manner within material space, and its flow resembles… the deduction process of knowledge information.
This is peculiar, as if its existence is reliant on the existence of knowledge itself, and… I am sure that all these knowledge deduced originates from the Great Knowledge Tree.
This means that as the depth of knowledge within my Great Knowledge Tree increases, this peculiar manifestation of energy also becomes richer.
So… the Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Spell must have an unexplored utilization method that I have not yet uncovered, but at this moment, it has merely shown a glimpse of its potential through the Great Knowledge Tree.
The emergence of this energy endows the Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Spell with the characteristic of “energy manipulation spell.” Just relying on the explosive nature of this energy is enough to cause considerable destructive power in the material world.
This is the information I obtained after testing.
It’s quite interesting, though not much, so I temporarily refer to this Extraordinary Energy as “Knowledge Power.”
Now, knowledge truly is power.
The generation of this energy originates from the complete fusion of the Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Spell and the Great Knowledge Tree, but the more intricate source remains unknown.
To explore that would require more time and effort, so I have set it aside for now; I have plenty to do, and merely testing this power is already a challenge.
…
Meanwhile, while I was busy with various tasks in my laboratory, the outside world was already in a frenzy.
With a new grand spellbook completed, although this matter had nothing to do with them, the witches’ long-awaited tests of the grand spellbook had yet to have a leader step forward to call for a meeting.
This led many idle witches to seek out the event’s organizer, Principal Mei.
However, this time, Principal Mei did not shy away from the gossip and made it clear that this grand spellbook was not one she created; she was merely a witness to its creation and improvement.
The true creator is someone else. Then, under some witches’ inquiries, Principal Mei readily revealed that it was Xiao Han.
Of course, she did not publicly disclose Xiao Han; it was during a private chat with some close friends that she let the truth slip.
In public, she merely stated that she would guarantee Xiao Han’s application for the identity recognition of a Little Witch and the contract application to the Little Witch Club and the Primordial Witch, ensuring all Extraordinary Witches recognize and accept Xiao Han as a “Little Witch.”
As for the so-called doubts and why… that’s a matter for those gossip-loving witches to explore slowly. After all, during the holiday, they have spare time; instead of causing trouble everywhere, it’s better to find something productive to do.
Then… Teacher Deina suddenly became the center of gossip, as she knew far too much.
Many rumors were originating from her.
Furthermore, topics related to the “Great Knowledge Seed” were suddenly exposed.
Although the witches had mostly heard about this matter beforehand, the confirmation that the so-called Great Knowledge Seed was indeed a spell test from this grand spellbook excited many witches beyond words.
Although… the timeline seemed somewhat off, relevant explanations soon followed.
The commotion surrounding the Void Rifts was not significant; it was merely a reiteration of the grand spellbook’s refinement, which had already been completed some time ago.
As for the disturbances shortly after its initial completion… they happened within a small world, which is the small world about to collide with the main world. Principal Beif Alanna, as a member of the earlier Void Exploration Team, can attest to this.
One could say that these witches, eager for entertainment, have been chasing down the events of this grand spellbook’s creation over the past couple of days.
Even Teacher Ji at the academic research base has been disturbed more than once, and the Reverse Summoning Spell has also attracted attention from many witches, leading to various innovations in its use.
The joy of witches is perhaps this simple.
Of course!
Over these days, I’ve been “disturbed” by many batches of Extraordinary Witches; they somehow found the villa I received after becoming a teaching assistant and pinpointed me as the “culprit” behind all these events.
Directly hitting the source, is there anything that can’t be resolved at the root?
Thus, my place has become a “sanctuary” frequently visited by those idle witches.
However, most come saying they want to “worship” and meet this “genius teaching assistant.”
Of course, there have also been academic witches coming to share related experiences, and quite a few have come to volunteer for the testing and improvement of the grand spellbook’s research.
After all, many witches know that this little one, who has not yet ascended to Extraordinary, currently bears two grand spellbooks!
One is the Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Spell invested by Principal Mei; however, the testing of this spell left most witches somewhat disappointed. Even the testing in Ninglan New City left them confused, as they only knew that it allowed the Fool Dream to enter reality, after all, Fool Dream is a carrier closely related to this **Extraordinary Knowledge**.
Moreover, the Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Spell facilitated my awakening in body cultivation; however, this specific case… the grand spellbook merely played a triggering role.
Additionally, since Principal Mei readily passed this Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Spell to others, many witches look down on this grand spellbook. After all, as its creator, Principal Mei knows it best; if it were indeed very powerful, she wouldn’t so readily hand it over.
What they care more about is that even though I am still in the continuous improvement phase of the grand spellbook, this Great Knowledge Tree, which can present such effects even while still in need of refinement, is surely something to look forward to.
Because the effect of this spellbook can be “shared”! No one can refuse to “benefit,” nor can witches.
Especially the first batch of witches who received the Great Knowledge Seed from Principal Mei; the effects brought by the knowledge trees they tested have made many witches want one too. Even if it’s not for memory retention, having one to accompany Xiao Han at all times would be great.
Those witches who were previously confused about why the so-called Knowledge Shadow resembled Xiao Han have finally understood—because this grand spellbook belongs to her.
Over the past few days, I have also established collaborative relationships with several academic witches, and they voluntarily formed research groups centered around the knowledge tree. They do not seek anything; they just wish to participate and gain related research and insights.
The Great Knowledge Tree, as a grand spellbook, is a conceptual approach that even they find quite rare, especially the insight stemming from this **Extraordinary Knowledge**, which they never expected to explore in this way.
Some even mentioned that if they were to take over this **Extraordinary Knowledge**, the grand spellbook they would ultimately create would likely be related to plants.
This is a reflection of the inclusive nature of the extraordinary; the approach taken to study it will shape it into the form expected by the researcher.
Although it has only been a few days, those academic witches who are willing to research this grand spellbook with me have roughly divided into three research directions.
First, the study of the Knowledge Shadow. The Knowledge Shadow is not merely a subconscious clone; it serves as the manager and retriever of knowledge and memory within the Great Knowledge Tree, integrating the methodologies of practical spell usage and plant network architecture. The application of the Knowledge Shadow has already permeated all aspects of the Great Knowledge Tree.
Thus, this area of research and iterative updates is quite challenging and tedious, naturally requiring a gradual process. For example, current experiments could explore changing the appearance of the Knowledge Shadow, among other aspects.
The second research direction focuses on the Earth Vein Information Identification Technique, which is equally difficult.
However, the technologies involved are not many; its essence mainly revolves around the conversion rate of earth energy, along with the classification of the identification technique information, which is a colossal undertaking.
The third research direction concerns the link between the Great Knowledge Tree and the Academy Network of the Witch Academy.
This issue had already been established; the academy head had previously made the connection for me. Therefore, after I proactively reached out, the other party, upon understanding the situation and realizing I was inviting her to join the research related to the grand spellbook, readily agreed without hesitation and even brought several of her good friends along.
Extraordinary Witches seem to have an inexplicable obsession with grand spellbooks, especially after hearing that I am the much-talked-about Xiao Han from these days.
However, connecting the academy network’s Earth Vein system is actually not difficult; it merely involves continuous adjustment of synchronization matching issues.
The main reason I intentionally invited these teachers over is to leverage their rich experience in developing the academy network, to build a cognitive firewall for the Great Knowledge Tree.
You could say that these days have been the busiest for me, but also the most leisurely, because more of what I do is primarily “assign tasks,” letting others assist me and saving time.
Although from a macro perspective, it seems I have become busier, my efficiency during this time has multiplied compared to what I originally planned!
I admit this is indeed a hassle, but it is a joyful hassle. This is the first time I have realized how satisfying it is to have others help me.
Just as I was delving deeply into a discussion with one of the teachers regarding the inspirations for the identification technique on the conversion of earth energy, a sudden commotion interrupted our conversation.
“Oh? Principal Mei? Why are you here all of a sudden? You didn’t give me a heads-up…”
Upon seeing Principal Mei personally arrive, many witches paused in their tasks to look over.
“After all, the situation is quite sudden. I have applied for the Little Witch contract for you. From now on, we can call each other sisters～” Mei Linde smiled as she took out a witch contract, clearly written on somewhat antiquated parchment.
Many witches were astonished that this application had come through so quickly!
However, those closest to the document gasped as they read its contents!
“Wha… What?! Mei Linde, Lilith… Ah? This is the signature of the Primordial Witch! The Primordial Witch is involved in this matter too? She is vouching for Xiao Han?!”
“Naturally. Otherwise, do you think this contract would be approved so swiftly? Perhaps you don’t know, but when Lilith’s avatar came to escort one sister to the Grand Library for registration, she encountered Xiao Han and even gave her a favorable evaluation～” As the crowd of witches gasped in surprise, Mei Linde explained with a smile, gradually approaching me.
“Xiao Han～ Hurry and sign, after this, I shall call you Xiao Han Sister～”
“Alright…” In the throng of witches, I firmly nodded and expressed my steadfast commitment to the Witch Race.
