Chapter 644: This Semester’s Cultivation Plan
After fulfilling the first five contracts I signed, I began to plan what to do next.
For example, the mutated beast I encountered earlier doesn’t have a specific name; mainly because the initial exploration in Ninglan New City didn’t extend too far, resulting in few recorded names and definitions for the mutated beasts from distant areas.
However, obtaining information about the physical bodies of these mutated beasts seems much more difficult than I expected. Even if they belong to an ordinary species with an ordinary bloodline, the main challenge lies in the unexpected diversity caused by their “mutation.”
I seem to understand why Ninglan New City attracted so many mutant beasts for invasion and siege.
Because of the earth vein fractures.
After they d*e, the soul material returns to the earth vein cycle.
Although they don’t understand what the earth vein or soul material is, a thought rooted in their instinct for survival urges them to act in this manner.
Should I be grateful for the wonders of the earth vein fractures in the expanding realm?
The huge earth vein fractures capable of sheltering the last remnants of humanity only exist in Ninglan New City, while other places in the expanding realm have small fractures where earth veins converge, but they cannot form miracles like Ninglan New City; instead, they will become the final burial grounds for mutated beasts.
From the “memories” of that mutated beast, I learned about the migration routes of its species; those mutated beasts always pass through certain fixed locations.
Those are places where they instinctively go to d*e, either naturally or for various reasons.
This information is not without value; it at least indicates that such places are also capable of easily shaping a new “earth vein convergence point.”
What are such places suitable for?
Of course, for planting trees!
Planting Wanlian Main Network Trees!
In the memories, I found a location overlapping with a place I have been to before, which is currently referred to as the second major refuge. Just look how lush the Wanlian Main Network Trees are there, and how far their root network extends!
And now.
A mutated beast has also embarked on its journey home at this moment.
Feeling the presence of that mutated beast’s clone.
What drives its actions now is the instinct of the revived body, while the guiding principle is the subconscious thought led by me.
Perhaps I’ve overcomplicated things from the beginning: what is the purpose of the clone? Am I using it to help me fight?
Does it have to be exactly like me?
Must it be completely under my control?
This mutated beast clone gave me an answer.
Not necessarily.
The current mutated beast’s instinctual actions, daily habits, and inherent racial traits rely solely on the body instinct granted by reincarnation, but any subjective principles of action are all guided by me.
It has died once and come back to life; it is no longer itself but is gradually becoming a puppet influenced by my will.
It is alive and even subjectively believes it is itself; everything it does stems from its instincts.
It has become smarter, breaking away from its former confusion, so the actions it takes that seem strange in the past are merely because it used to be too ignorant.
This is quite strange.
Is this considered cloning magic?
However, I’ve never created a “Clone Spell.” The spells I use only include reincarnation, Great Knowledge Seed, Great Knowledge Sharing Spell, etc. The other techniques, like Mimetic Soul, Consciousness Mimicry, Soul Material Shaping, Instinct Summation, and so on… many of these don’t count as systematic techniques. I merely achieved what I wanted using the means I have mastered.
Things seem that simple; I even feel like I’m toying with life and d*ath.
If mutated beasts can be like this, then… what about humans?
There are many people in this world who deserve to d*e, and there are equally many who deserve to be saved. This method could help me experience people’s lives in this ruinous world from more diverse perspectives.
Then… what about dream creatures?
After all, dreams will return; the trend is irreversible, and everyone will eventually be enveloped in dreams, returning to peace. Dreams will soothe every anxious dreamer at night.
Before dreams returned, it seems the people of Ninglan New City never talked about dreams…
So, dream creatures will also be “neighbors” in the expanding realm for a long time afterward.
Mutated beasts, humans, dream creatures… It seems I indeed have many attempts I haven’t practiced personally.
In the past, I always thought too much and did too little.
Now, I have plenty of time and energy to personally experience perspectives I never had before.
Experiencing different perspectives… actually, I experienced this on the day I enrolled, transitioning from a boy to a girl, a very novel experience; it just hasn’t been possible to return since then.
Now… let’s not mention it.
After finding that group of migrating mutated beasts, I teleported directly to their location based on the clone’s positioning, then used a simple optical camouflage spell to conceal my form and applied the Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Spell to them.
The consumption of the Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Spell is quite substantial, especially when targeting so many subjects. However, I received a meeting gift from Sister Belika, which contains several thousand Magic Sources, bringing my total to just over fifteen thousand now, including all the previous various sources.
The optical camouflage spellbook is also one of those gift spells.
In the storage card, besides Magic Sources, there are spellbooks and some general currency from the Witch Academy called Aoqin.
I truly didn’t expect the items given by Sister Belika would be so valuable, even just the meeting gift.
Although all the spellbooks are small and basic, these spellbooks are all rare and uncommon; for example, the optical camouflage, which is part of a set, includes scent elimination, noise reduction, visual blockage, and so on. Although these spellbooks are inexpensive in the Grand Library of the Witch Academy, I suspect these rare items were all personally crafted by Sister Belika, after all, she is currently the instructor teaching Sister Bai real editing techniques!
With the rapid recovery of self-generated magic, I finally finished my tasks.
“I really wonder what kind of changes a group of enlightened mutated beasts appearing in the expanding realm will bring?” I murmured from a distance.
Then, I vanished from that spot.
One clone within this group is enough.
As for the remaining time… I intend to plan a journey through the expanding realm. Previously, when this expanding realm was still a small world, I had traveled around the globe, but it was never fully completed due to various reasons.
This journey will no longer be about enjoying endless scenery like before; instead, it will involve witnessing, feeling, and cultivating while simultaneously planting trees.
To witness the brilliance of humanity that arises from disaster, to feel the emotions shared among people in times of hardship.
To use my own senses to experience this is also a form of cultivation, the cultivation of the body.
And the resonant heart-sensing clone can also bring me different feelings, continuously understanding through heart sensation, perceiving and understanding the joys, angers, sorrows, and pleasures expressed by those people…
The reason I developed this idea of traveling is also due to that mutated beast’s clone; it has provided me with inspiration to refine my field order!
What is my field?
It is based on the body cultivation system, the embryonic form of the heart realm evolved from the sixth sense heart sense.
Yes, it is an embryonic form; I haven’t perfected it yet.
Previously, I tried to incorporate the embryonic form of the seventh sense, sense of time, into the field order, which yielded excellent results.
I also attempted to integrate the effects of two spellbooks into the order, so the power of knowledge is one manifestation of the field order and the most significant outward form.
This clearly shows how profound my research on the power of knowledge generated by the two Great Spellbooks has become. Moreover, there’s also the Wanlian Main Network Tree system under the Great Knowledge Tree, which serves as an extension of my field order.
Then what about my body cultivation?
What about the foundation of my field?
What about my body’s senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch?
They are also forms of perception, collectively known as the five senses; why can’t they be integrated into the field’s order?
If the places where the order is reorganized within the field are all areas reachable by my senses… then I would be a pseudo-omniscient deity governing this realm!
Any slightest change, as long as it doesn’t exceed my five senses, will be perceived by me, not to mention my heart sense and sense of time.
And the clone provided me with such an inspiration.
It allowed my perception to reach places that my main body had never been to, and the way to realize and perfect this idea is through the sixth sense heart sense.
The heart realm formed by the heart sense is also an embryonic form of the field, so… the field should also be able to complete the transmission of the five senses through some “medium.”
So what is the medium?
My first thought is… the power of knowledge. If every portion of the power of knowledge serves as my “eyes and ears,” then that would be terrifying; I seem to have underestimated the developmental potential of the field.
Moreover, the primary aspect is that my field is still just an “embryo.” I don’t know how to overcome the threshold of being an embryo, and the witch sisters have tacitly not mentioned it; perhaps… it’s because I haven’t met their rigid requirements.
Whether this is the witches protecting me or believing I can’t do it, but each time I create miracles, it opens their eyes; even if they say nothing, isn’t it more fulfilling to reach the truth with my own abilities?
So now I have a basic idea: to journey, cultivate, engage in the cultivation of sensory perception, and search for ways to integrate it into the field.
Then, during the cultivation period, I’ll digest the runic knowledge I obtained from Sister Belika and try some totem knowledge.
Learning runic literature requires continuous practice.
The means of practice is to research and derive from the spellbooks I currently know; there’s nothing easier than studying spellbooks to apply those runes practically.
Along the way, this includes studying the Reverse Summoning Spell, Crystalization Spell, and Spellbook Rack Spell.
The potential of the Reverse Summoning Spell is enormous. Based on the research materials given to me by Teacher Ji, I can develop and derive many applications.
For instance, as I mentioned to Millien earlier, having her show the business card to the enemy while I assist with a strike.
That is a derived application of the Reverse Summoning Spell. The spell that summons is not me, but one of my attacks; this is the core method of my concept of “long-distance strikes.”
I conceived this idea long ago when the Fool Dream appeared in my Dream World.
The emphasis on the Crystalization Spell is due to its capability to transform soul material into soul crystals! What is most abundant in the expanding realm?
Crystalline energy extraordinary materials, a natural testing ground. My focus is mainly on its developmental potential, and there’s the fact that this was gifted by Principal Beif Alanna.
As for the Spellbook Rack Spell, it goes without saying; it has already been planned to be incorporated into the Great Knowledge Tree system as the “Myriad Spellbooks Rack”!
These are all my plans for this semester until the end of the term. I did tell Sister Agnes that I wanted to settle in the expanding realm and learn genuinely, but I never mentioned I would be reading in a specific location, right?
Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles; the teachings from my past life still guide me on how to learn.
But before that, I still have quite a few things to do, such as checking on Yi Rui and her companions. Although they don’t need me to arrange a trip to Ninglan New City for them, I still need to keep an eye on them, right?
Moreover, there’s also Sofiry, whom I mentioned when I encountered Dongli Yiren; I must meet her. Additionally, I have a large number of seeds obtained from the seed vault that need cultivation. I don’t have the time; although I could use a clone, I feel there’s no need.
It’s best to leave professional matters to professionals.
Furthermore, I’ve also facilitated the integration of plant technology in Ninglan New City. They will need a lot of talent knowledgeable in plant technology to develop Ninglan New City.
And these talents need to be sought among the refugees, most of whom have now entered the Disaster Refuge. I plan to go check the “talent market” later; after all, they have shed their status as refugees and will need to earn their daily expenses through labor, right?
So this also indirectly creates job opportunities for those in the Disaster Refuge.
I believe that with the seeds I’ve obtained, along with those acquired by others, plant technology will develop rapidly.
Moreover, the root network of the Wanlian Main Network Tree has already spread across all of Ninglan New City.
This means the basic infrastructure for networking and earth energy transfer no longer requires major renovations, which indeed benefits the modernization development of Ninglan New City.
It’s just that they might not immediately understand my good intentions… As I pondered this, I inexplicably felt that I might be the greatest benefactor in the entire expanding realm.
This is really wonderful!
But am I originally a good person?
I doubt the people from the Witch Academy would evaluate me very favorably.
Returning to Ninglan New City, I plan to first contact Dongli Yiren and arrange a time to meet with Sofiry, whom I haven’t seen in a long time.
Then I’ll check on Yi Rui and her companions; I’m actually very curious about their developments and research on spells. Everyone has limitations in their thinking, and perhaps communicating with them will be highly beneficial for me.
However, just as I returned, I encountered a group of people.
“Teaching Assistant Xiao Han, you’ve worked hard this time.”
“Uh? Who are you?” I coldly glanced at them. “People from the All-Purpose Association, I’m not particularly interested in you. Don’t keep switching out people who come to contact me.”
“I… we just wanted to express our gratitude for you fulfilling the contract so quickly and helping us…”
“Take it back; I don’t need it. You just need to fulfill your obligations according to the contract.” I waved my hand to reject them, even though I knew there was a high-quality soul crystal inside, it didn’t attract me, “I have business to attend to; if it’s urgent, have Millien come find me; this shouldn’t be difficult for you folks from the All-Purpose Association.”
