Chapter 888: The Extraordinary Witch’s Academic (?) Tea Party
“It’s you all.”
Luxien quickly stood up. Although she had heard about collaborating with Tan Jun and the others, she felt a bit apprehensive meeting them face to face now.
As a peer, many were aware of her relationship with Tan Jun. However, with Tan Jun’s rising fame and strength in the academy, her situation felt particularly awkward.
“Since we’re all friends here, I won’t go into too much introduction. Why don’t we get straight to the point?” Xing Anlei, the vice-principal hosting the gathering, spoke up. She could see that Luxien was emotionally unsettled and decided to steer the conversation towards the main topic.
“That’s only natural.” Tan Jun wasn’t interested in wasting time either. The main reason for her visit was to gather information and acquire some specialized exploration equipment.
She didn’t care how the others felt; even if they turned against her once they entered the secret realm, it would be fine as she only needed the fragments on them.
…
Meanwhile.
While the students were focused on the Ice Snow Throne secret realm, the Extraordinary Witches had their own routine.

What I say is the measure!
Isn’t a witch tea party a place where one can speak freely?
Witches with differing opinions could stand up to express their views or refute others’ theories.
Everyone would even leave some space for resolving things with force.
Those present were all witches wielding extraordinary powers; who liked calculating theoretical proofs?
If ideas were realized in practice, then everything would follow.
First shoot the arrow, then draw the target; practice is the best way to ensure theories don’t deviate.
If I achieve it through practice while you can’t derive it through theory, then it’s your theoretical framework that’s problematic, not me as a witch.
However, during today’s tea party, those witches presenting their accomplishments or their team’s results seemed visibly disinterested.
Because…
“Our team’s presentation ends here. I won’t say much; I know what the main event is today. Come! Start your performance~”
This witch walked down quite confidently and pointed to a group of witches that had seemingly become the center of the tea party.
In the next moment, the original vacancy in the center was filled while another tea table became the focus!
And this group of witches was a temporary group led by Dorin and Aina.
They were old acquaintances from the realm of Primordial Dream research.
Though they all studied aspects of Primordial Dream, the topics and projects they pursued were different. They had come to showcase and prove the discovery of “Dream State Soul Material” and its potential for purification and extraction.
“Ahem… This is my first time experiencing such treatment.” Dorin instinctively cleared her throat.
She understood why the rhythm of the tea party suddenly felt so lively.
This was naturally because they had brought something substantial!
Witches typically research for long periods without any results, and since these tea parties were held quite frequently, other witches would provide progress updates on their respective topics or discuss encountered problems.
Now, with rumors that a witch had brought something big to this tea party, many witches felt they didn’t need to embarrass themselves.
Of course, some eager witches would still step forward to stir things up; the team represented by that previous witch was such an example.
“Take a look~”
Dorin said to the witches beside her, and soon they took out a very special alchemical item.
This alchemical item was used to create the Dream Overlap Area.
After all… not every Extraordinary Witch has the specialized field to resonate with the Primordial Dream, allowing unrelated dreams and reality to experience a secondary overlap phenomenon.
“First, let everyone know, the Dream State Soul Material we’re about to present is a special element found within the Primordial Dream.”
After all, Soul Material is known in reality as one of the world’s three elements; referring to Dream State Soul Material as a special element in the Primordial Dream is entirely appropriate.
“The emergence of Dream State Soul Material perfectly solves the question of where the Soul Material devoured by the Primordial Dream went, and it also shatters the ridiculous theory of the Void Dream Abyss…”
The theory of the Void Dream Abyss, proposed by some not-so-bright individuals in the Void, is an unprovable theory about the eventual fate of the Void.
The gist of it is that because the Primordial Dream continuously devours Soul Material without effective proof that it would maintain a balance of Soul Material between the Primordial Dream and reality, the ultimate conclusion suggests all life would face extinction.
Moreover, this theory subdivides into many branches, representing a hodgepodge of ideas.
While some theories mention that there are pulses within the Primordial Dream, which explain how Soul Material achieves balance between reality and dreams, no one can verify this directly, so it isn’t accepted by those individuals.
“Next, we need to set up a Dream Overlap Area here, under this condition, the Dream State Soul Material can be exhibited…”
“Question! Without a Dream Overlap, how do you preserve the Dream State Soul, or how is it transported?” A straightforward witch suddenly asked.
This was a question the other witches were curious about as well.
“Soul Dream, the Soul Dream from the Great Soul Topic can preserve the Dream State Soul Material.” Dorin answered straightforwardly.
“Oh~~”
Upon hearing such a simple answer, many witches lit up in excitement!
If Dream State Soul Material can exist in a Soul Dream, then once it is developed and utilized, the Soul Dream becomes the best “storage space” for carrying this technique!
“So, this Dream State Soul Material can actually be seen within the Primordial Realm, right?” At this moment, a witch suddenly inquired.
“Exactly, theoretically, it should be possible in the Primordial Dream, right? Doesn’t that mean the Primordial Dream can complete cross-spatial trading of Dream State Soul Material, ignoring distances in the Void?”
In an instant, many witches suddenly opened their minds! Some fanciful ideas were articulated without considering the consequences.
Even some concepts of trading Dream State Soul Material as currency emerged.
However… this wasn’t particularly absurd.
After all, the world’s three elements are hard currencies in the Void, so theoretically, the Dream State Soul Material found within the Primordial Dream could also function similarly.
Now, all that’s needed is to build its value system based on Dream State Soul Material, and it could become a medium for cross-Void transactions and other valuable exchanges in the Primordial Dream!
Of course, these were merely flashes of inspiration, impractical and without thought for the consequences, and they didn’t even know the properties of Dream State Soul Material, as anyone might think naturally.
“I’ve never tried to take it out from the Primordial Dream, mainly because… there isn’t a channel to connect to the Primordial Dream; how would you take it out?” Dorin shook her head, dismissing the idea of witnessing Dream State Soul Material in the Primordial Dream.
At least right now, they could not achieve that.
After all, the Primordial Dream is a realm created by the Primordial Witch, with absolute order inside, so one cannot simply do whatever they want.
If there were no order in the Primordial Dream, how could it withstand so many Extraordinary Witches causing a stir within it?
If anyone could cause havoc, there would be constant unrest due to Dream Creatures causing disruptions.
One of the essential functions of the Primordial Dream is filtering out those Dream Creatures to prevent them from disrupting the order within.
At this moment, a special wave covered the entire tea party area, and all the witches knew that this was the real Dream State Soul Material!
As Dorin’s voice resonated at the tea party, all the witches were very focused on her every move.
Until Dorin took out a particularly special element from the released Soul Dream, all the witches instinctively held their breath, as if afraid that even their breaths would disturb that small piece of Dream State Soul Material.
“Alright~ You can breathe now. You are separated from this piece of Dream State Soul by the barrier of reality and dreams, and this piece of Dream State Soul Material has been specially encapsulated, serving as a collectible specimen that won’t easily be damaged.”
With Dorin’s words, many witches unconsciously began to take in fresh air.
“Currently, the Primordial Dream Laboratory has successfully practiced a special purification method, extracting Dream Demons into Dream State Soul Material, with 27 verified methods; however, unfortunately, there isn’t a large-scale method yet, so the output is extremely scarce…”
“May I ask which witch elder led this experiment?”
“I’m sorry, but this matter is still confidential. Being able to showcase this Dream State Soul Material is already the maximum we can do…” Dorin did not answer the witch’s question.
Because… she recalled what Principal Mei told them not long ago.
Even now, she felt quite emotional.
She could understand the principal’s desire to protect Xiao Yi, not out of distrust towards any witch, but to avoid making Xiao Yi a prime target of those Extraordinary Academies during this sensitive period.
“Huh? What’s the big deal about saying it?”
Many witches were somewhat perplexed by this; among witches, no one could be considered cowardly, especially not leading witches who could pioneer wholly new fields; they should fear nothing!
“The situation is much more complicated than you think, but this matter will eventually be disclosed… it won’t be too long.”
Dorin, sensing Xiao Yi’s situation, believed that it wouldn’t be long, at most a few years, before she would be promoted to extraordinary status. By then, many things would no longer require such secrecy.
The tea party continued.
Though not every witch has made significant contributions in areas like the Primordial Dream, the Great Soul Topic is closely related to every witch.
If there are any new breakthroughs in Dream State Soul Material techniques, they, as witches of the Main World, would naturally be among the first to benefit!
Who knows, they might even become the first witnesses to the birth of Dream Life? After all, with Soul Material already present, the so-called life isn’t far away, is it?
And just as the content of this academic tea party reached its peak, I on the laboratory side, Animated GIF
was still overwhelmed with work.
Because these days, Yu Yun encountered problems.
As I was integrating Dream State Soul Material with the Four Little Ones while undertaking the massive project of constructing the framework for the Yu Dream Clan.
We were steadily advancing the improvement of the “Life Evolution” technique.
However, Yu Yun would occasionally fall into a “coma.”
And this was no ordinary coma.
It wasn’t sleep; at least I couldn’t find evidence of Yu Yun’s consciousness sleeping deeper within the Primordial Dream.
Since this wasn’t sleep, but objectively Yu Yun was in a coma, a very practical question arose: what on earth was Yu Yun’s consciousness experiencing?
During the brief moments when Yu Yun would awaken, I asked, but… Yu Yun couldn’t describe what that state was like.
It seemed to exceed the realm of understanding and description for the Yu Dream, yet what Yu Yun mentioned revealed not-so-good news—that at least Yu Yun wouldn’t have any issues in the short term.
“By the way… could this be related to the process of becoming real life?” I rummaged through my Great Knowledge Tree, but there was only a bit of knowledge on creating life, and nothing was recorded regarding these matters.
However, while I searched, I recalled what I discussed with the principal at the time.
Life… is recognized by the Void, and hence it exists.
So… understanding the concept of life as a “sequence” makes it much simpler.
When an existence aligns closely with the concept of that sequence, it is then considered life.
Only some lives come from an existing sequence, while others are sequences yet to be developed in the Void…
With this transformation, it seems many concepts become easier to understand.
What concept in the Void could continuously give birth to life and be recognized as life?
Without a doubt… the world!
So if a wholly new life were to be created in the Main World, there is a high probability it would touch upon the world’s consciousness, right?
Wait… creating a new life to gain potential communication with the world’s consciousness—could this also be one of the principal’s hidden plans?
Thinking of this, I suddenly realized I might need to ask the principal for clarification.
