Chapter 796: The Bumpy Ascension to the Extraordinary
“d*mn it… What the hell is happening?”
Suddenly feeling a terrifying palpitation, everyone couldn’t help but shudder.
The person from the Hothorn Family, who was responsible for the persuasion in front, had almost run out of words, but upon witnessing this strange change, he immediately turned and fled.
Just moments ago, it was evident that this guy was on the verge of collapse, kneeling on the ground, and no one expected such a sudden turn of events!
“Could it be… d*mn it, is she going to perish together?!” With someone shouting this, everyone ran even faster.
Even the personnel from the Security Bureau started to retreat in the face of such a scene.
Fear of d*ath is an instinct ingrained in life, and no one is an exception.
As I watched Aipuli’s current state, I excitedly grasped Sister Bai’s hand and said, “It worked! Sister Bai, it really worked! Based on the Ordinary Topic, the life level surged to touch Real Time, beginning to complete the concept of the Witch Race, incubating the Witch Bloodline and Self-Generated Magic…”
I was so excited that I was almost incoherent, but it was the first time I had seen a life ascending to the extraordinary so intuitively. The scene of the Earth Vein Shackles all giving way only confirmed for me that the so-called issues derived from the Earth Vein Shackles were indeed the primary reasons hindering the ascension to the extraordinary!
What I was more concerned about was actually the method based on the topic.
The Ordinary Topic is a sub-topic under the Great Topic of the Soul, and Aipuli’s explanation of it was a longing for an ordinary life and ordinary love.
In other words, this is a pursuit, a breaking of existing perceptions, embracing a new world, and a renewed “nurturing” of the self, giving oneself a second life, nurturing the inner child.
This approach is somewhat similar to what I did in the Dream World.
However… it’s obvious my method is quite rough.
But Aipuli certainly wouldn’t be like this; she would continuously perfect this pursuit with her understanding of the essence of the ordinary.
As for what kind of abilities this ordinary soul foundation would shape, even I wasn’t too sure.
Just like Sister Bai’s Ordinary Topic…
Sister Bai did not explain much; she only said twelve characters: “In the ordinary, experiencing the ordinary, accepting the ordinary.”
Sister Bai came from an ordinary society, nearly ten years of academy life experiencing the ordinary struggles of the extraordinary, experiencing the ordinariness of ordinary people in society, the ordinariness of the evil in the Expanding Realm, the ordinariness of her own life, directly facing the ordinariness of love… ultimately accepting her own ordinariness.
It can be said that both Sister Bai and Aipuli have their own perspectives and interpretations of ordinariness.
The topic seems to embody a certain essence of the extraordinary; how one understands it will determine how it will respond to them.
And no matter what topic one chooses, everyone will ultimately return to the most fundamental Witch Topic.
The Great Witch Topic is not something that one needs to actively delve into; when the first Magic Source is injected into a body, bringing the first transformation into a witch for a life, the seed of the Great Witch Topic is imprinted into the essence of that life.
The concept of the Witch Race and the information of the bloodline, like the witch transformation itself, passively guides life to evolve into an extraordinary witch.
The Great Witch Topic is like a “mold,” while the life that has yet to ascend to the extraordinary is like an embryo waiting to take shape.
The life level and life essence are two different things.
The Great Witch Topic endows life levels after reaching the extraordinary with meaning, allowing them to transform into true witches, enabling the concept of the Witch Race and bloodline information to influence the definition of life through the Real Time of the extraordinary.
The Great Topic of the Soul grants meaning to the metamorphosis of life’s essence, transforming soul materials into souls, providing a new interpretation of life’s concept and bestowing blessings from the Dream World.
But… this process takes a long time.
When the Frozen World slipped from Aipuli’s right hand, I understood that it was time for me to make my entrance.
Aipuli, who was ascending to an extraordinary witch, was undoubtedly in her most vulnerable state, at least for her at this moment; her body and spirit, after such turmoil, could no longer cope with the disturbances from the outside world.
“Quick, stop her! We can’t let her succeed!”
“Open fire! sh**t! Hurry!”
“Switch to extraordinary bullets! That guy came out from that space!”
Instantly, the scene became chaotic, with people fleeing endlessly, while those in charge were still stubbornly adhering to the family’s orders.
In front of Aipuli, she was already their prey; they would not allow the situation to spiral out of control at such a crucial moment.
For this reason, they were even willing to use extraordinary bullets to k*ll Aipuli on the spot. They only needed to get that thing she was holding, and that would be enough!
With this mindset, they shouted to stabilize the crowd’s morale, urging them to continuously suppress their fear of the unknown with firepower.
But the next moment, they suddenly felt the environment around them change drastically.
An invisible pressure descended upon their bodies, and the firearms in their hands, which were continually spewing bullets, seemed to have suddenly pressed the pause button; the violent and continuous g*n vibrations abruptly ceased.
They witnessed a scene that would shock them for a lifetime!
The flames at the muzzle of their guns seemed to solidify, and bullets expelled from the barrels were surrounded by golden special patterns, hovering in the air, unable to advance even an inch.
Meanwhile, their target was there, where an enormous tree’s shadow that couldn’t be described in words was stretching its branches.
A figure stood directly in front of that tree, as if proclaiming her ownership of it.
With just a light wave of her hand, countless golden symbols surged like a tide, engulfing those bullets that had been shot out, accompanied by their firearms, which were effortlessly snatched away from their hands by an irresistible force, and in the next moment, all the guns turned into a pile of scrap metal under absolute violence.
Then, a clear voice echoed in everyone’s ears, forcing them to comprehend its meaning.
“I’ll warn you once: all ordinary people, step back; everyone from the Security Bureau, leave this place! I have taken over here, and the consequences of not obeying will be yours to bear!”
At this moment, I was holding the Box of Books, wielding the Power of Knowledge in the most violent manner to disarm everyone.
I must say, sometimes violence is indeed very efficient.
Especially for the Security Bureau, which I specifically mentioned, they no longer cared about what weapons were destroyed; all they knew was that they couldn’t provoke the person before them.
This person must be an exceptionally powerful student, perhaps even at the level of the Wizard Tower’s tier masters!
The Security Bureau was merely a retirement home for graduated students, receiving a small stipend each month; why would they risk their lives for such matters?
“Don’t run! d*mn it… Can’t you see this person isn’t from the Wizard Academy?!”
At that moment, members of the Hothorn Family scolded the fleeing Security Bureau, but even that was futile.
“My lady, we have no grievances or grudges, right? The people from the Wizard Academy are coming soon; are you sure you want to go against the entire Wizard Academy?!”
“Ha ha…” Looking at the person standing firm and questioning me under the pressure of my domain, even daring to threaten me, I could only sneer, “I’ve changed my mind; the Security Bureau and members of the Hothorn Family, you all stay put here!”
Saying this, the Power of Knowledge within the domain surged again, and the annotated technique turned to directly restrain everyone’s movements.
In an instant, the members of the Security Bureau were nearly driven to the point of cursing the Hothorn Family’s teammates!
They could have left this trouble spot at any moment!
But regardless of how these people thought, I didn’t care.
It was just that the earlier guy made me realize that my emergence wasn’t for show; it was to buy time.
I couldn’t let them go out to notify the Wizard Academy, so after sealing all of them, I expanded the range of my domain to a further distance, implementing an information blockade!
This way, regardless of whether the other party used a phone, alchemical items, witch weapons, or even extraordinary items, they couldn’t send information to the outside world.
Any information is a form of information representation; even the Earth Veins have my Earth Vein Identification Technique for real-time information filtering. While I couldn’t intercept information at the Earth Vein level yet, I could do so physically.
Powerful extraordinary powers can interfere with and destroy Earth Vein information; this is one of the simplest methods to clean up Earth Vein information.
And all of this spatial lockdown was naturally executed by the annotated technique derived from the Power of Knowledge.
The compatibility of the annotated technique is truly terrifying; it can integrate sealing techniques to achieve annotated seals, transform into dream runes, conduct special resonance techniques, achieve dream overlaps, and carry other powers as key components within the Wanlian Main Network Tree, completing the Power Network…
However, now was not the time to worry about these intricate details.
Disregarding the people within the domain, I also placed a silence spell on everyone; otherwise, the noise would affect my experience.
I turned to observe Aipuli, who was completely oblivious to everything happening outside at that moment.
At this time, she resembled one in a prolonged slumber.
Only the surging life level knocked on the door of the extraordinary world time and again, and even I wasn’t sure if she would fail.
“She’s using the power of the topic as a framework for her life level, allowing her to stably touch Real Time,” Sister Bai explained to me from the side; after all, she had been a witch and knew this process very well.
However, Sister Bai remained in her ordinary state; no one besides me could see her, and since she was an extraordinary witch, it was best not to reveal herself unless necessary to avoid unnecessary trouble.
“I understand…” Listening to Sister Bai’s narration, I nodded because I truly understood.
Only by touching Real Time at an extraordinary level can the concept of the extraordinary witch race be truly completed, for the foundation of the extraordinary witch is the extraordinary; only by touching Real Time can a complete concept of the witch race be constructed.
Due to Aipuli’s current state being so dire, it’s more accurate to say that she was attempting to ascend to the extraordinary with my assistance rather than outright ascending.
She gradually transformed into a large cocoon, nestled upon my domain, the Great Knowledge Tree.
This excellent observation opportunity was naturally facilitated by me; with the aid of the Great Knowledge Tree, I could gather more information without interfering with Aipuli’s ascent to the extraordinary.
Of course, the cocoon Aipuli transformed into is called the “Witch Cocoon,” formed from the life level as an incubation cocoon for her ascension. Once she ascends to the extraordinary and her life level reaches the extraordinary, it will reshape her body, serving as the “cradle” for achieving an extraordinary form.
Naturally, this was also facilitated by me. The path to ascension to the extraordinary can be divided into many stages; there’s no need to directly reshape to obtain an extraordinary body at the moment of the life level’s ascension; it can also be transformed subtly.
But neither method is necessarily better or worse; it’s merely different approaches.
However, I had to consider myself; in order to witness processes I had never experienced before, I chose this method.
These feats surpassed anything I could achieve alone, yet Aipuli fully revealed them before me. This direct observation and the sensations it brought were magical experiences that written words in books could never depict, no matter how many times they were penned.
I watched the information recorded by the Great Knowledge Tree at this moment, as Aipuli’s life level, close to Real Time, continuously approached the boundaries of the extraordinary; this process was like a newly born life beating its heart, knocking on the door of life and proclaiming its arrival.
The perfection of the concept of the Witch Race, the nurturing of the new witch, the carving of the bloodline… these continuous improvements were the birth of new life and a ritual for ascending to be an extraordinary witch.
Aipuli’s consciousness seemed immersed in the power woven by her own topic.
Perhaps there, she would shatter her past life with her own hands, she would nurture herself anew in her own way, she would clearly feel the fulfillment and satisfaction brought by an ordinary life since it was something she had never experienced before.
However, these rather abstract matters are tests that only Aipuli can face.
What I cared more about was this process of ascension.
The boundary of the extraordinary seemed like just a layer of limits, the only benchmark for measuring life level, after all, this world only has false time and real time.
Though I couldn’t touch Real Time, the blessing of the Main World, “Spirit Vision,” allowed me to catch a glimpse of Real Time’s beauty ahead of time.
The complexity of ascending to an extraordinary witch lies mainly in the reconstruction of the concept of the race at the moment of ascension to the extraordinary.
After all, the extraordinary is the extraordinary; it relies on the life level to touch Real Time. The life level also needs to balance the concepts and material existence of life with the concepts of the race and bloodline information.
One could say that ascending to the extraordinary is a delicate chain reaction.
The concept of the race carried by the life level defines the existence of the race, the bloodline information defines the composition of the body, and the information compiled above the race, etc.
The life level measures the “thickness” of the essence of life through another dimension.
They complete the integration of life during the ascension to the extraordinary, when the essence of life touches Real Time!
Constructing the extraordinary based on the concept of the extraordinary race, life detaches from the mechanisms of the world’s operation, allowing life to truly be in the hands of life itself.
This is the ritual of ascending to the extraordinary.
Thus, ascending to the extraordinary does have thresholds; it is not without difficulty, and it isn’t something that can be achieved without effort. Every hurdle that must be overcome is a personal endeavor.
It’s simply that everyone’s path is different…
And the Earth Vein Shackles are the first threshold of cognition. Only by crossing the threshold of cognition does one qualify to touch higher fields.
Just as I was immersed in the clarity of the ascension ritual, students from the Wizard Academy arrived late.
They were the students prepared to come and finalize the proceedings, and even they had not anticipated what they were about to face.
“Another batch of rookies has come in… What an annoyance…” When those wizard apprentices crossed the boundary of my domain and entered my area of perception, I immediately sensed their presence.
