Chapter 890: Body Cultivation Witch and Dream Realm Experiment
“This one?”
Upon hearing Mei Linde’s words, the three Body Cultivation Witches instantly looked over with different expressions.
They did not detect any signs of lies from the Principal, which at least indicated that, in her eyes, this accomplishment was indeed real!
As a witch capable of achieving a new breakthrough in the academy, she could be considered a top scholarly witch, right?
Such witches are usually perceived as very proud, after all, no one can tolerate others pointing fingers in their area of expertise.
Of course, these types of witches also like to refer to these Body Cultivation Witches as… just muscle-bound practitioners.
This really exemplifies their stereotype.
But in reality, she hadn’t been subjected to such verbal offenses yet, especially since they had a first impression of her as a Body Cultivation practitioner, igniting their curiosity about the young girl before them.
“Yes, it is this one. Before we continue, I hope the three of you won’t disclose what we’re discussing right now. After all, this is a confidential matter even for the other witches in the academy.”
“Do we need to sign a Witch Contract for confidentiality?”
“No need for a contract; I trust your self-control,” Mei Linde said with a light chuckle.
After all, even if a contract was signed, some information would inevitably leak out. If it came to signing a contract, that would be a matter of principle.
“Then we should thank you for your trust.”
“Alright, then I’ll continue.” Mei Linde nodded and returned to the topic before. “Previously, we discussed our breakthroughs and discoveries in the Primordial Dream, which is the ability to construct a Field Order similar to that of a Holy Realm within the Primordial Dream.”
“The Field within the Dream? That sounds interesting.”
“Can you tell us what this means? If you want us to help you construct a second realm, I might be interested in trying it out.”
The two witches who spoke clearly did not notice any issues with constructing a field within the Primordial Dream. After all, they had just stated that they were not very familiar with it.
In their minds, a field in the dream was like having a lucid dream, a form where one could freely manipulate the dream.
Mei Linde naturally recognized this misunderstanding.
“Of course there is significance. I understand you may not quite grasp it, so let me give you an example.”
Mei Linde pointed toward me and continued speaking.
“This one, Xiao Han, she constructed a Dream Realm within the Primordial Dream and conducted an experiment with it. The results of the field triggered a secondary disaster that caused the death of 61 Extraordinary Consciousnesses. The number 61 does not represent her limit in killing the Extraordinary; rather, it is the number of Extraordinary beings outside of the demon extermination within the disaster’s range.”
“A 100% fatality rate. Before other Extraordinary Races achieve the same exploration progress in the Primordial Dream as we have, this method is impossible and irreversible.”
After Mei Linde finished her statement, the three witches involuntarily gasped.
Although Extraordinary powers make it simple to overwhelm several opponents at once when crossing thresholds, no one dares to claim their methods are unbeatable!
In awe, they instinctively looked with heightened regard at the witch claiming to be Yang Yuelan.
It is said that terrifying scholarly witches are also exceptionally powerful, and their methods are often unique and unsolvable, surpassing common logic. This time, they could intuitively feel that.
“Does… this kind of power relate to us Body Cultivation Witches?” At this moment, the representative among the three Body Cultivation Witches asked first.
“Naturally, it relates a lot because, according to Xiao Han’s description, the prerequisite for mastering this power is Body Cultivation. If possible, it is best to be Self-Awakened Body Cultivation. If the cultivation of the body isn’t enough, there is another prerequisite: practicing Five Senses Body Cultivation and awakening the sixth sense.”
After Mei Linde finished speaking, she felt a bit embarrassed because among the three Body Cultivation Witches, she was the only one who was not a Self-Awakened Body Cultivation practitioner.
She was a Dragon Witch from a branch of the Black Blood bloodline, and even without Self-Awakening, she was confident that her physical cultivation was not inferior to the two beside her who were Self-Awakened.
Of course, this does not mean that Self-Awakened Body Cultivation practitioners lack strength; rather, it suggests that in terms of pure physical quality, they are comparable to top-tier bloodlines.
However, Self-Awakened Body Cultivation is not just a representation of brute force.
“Of course, it’s not a big problem if you lack Self-Awakening; it would just be better if you have it.” Mei Linde noticed her discomfort, as she had seen their information, “Currently, our academy already has one non-Self-Awakened Body Cultivation Witch who has preliminarily structured the ‘Dream Realm’ Order, so there are successful examples, so there’s no need to worry too much.”
“Really? That’s great!” Unknowingly, Hui had already begun to identify with this identity. After all, participating in an experiment means mastering a certain power, which seems like a worthwhile endeavor.
“I have a question.” At that moment, Mu Li spoke up.
“What question? Go ahead.”
“Since the prerequisite for this Dream Realm aligns so closely with the threshold of Body Cultivation, does the ability you are studying pertain to the Body Cultivation system?”
“This question…” Mei Linde glanced at me, since she herself wasn’t pursuing this power’s cultivation, she had not delved deeply into it.
“Miss, it’s a professional question; you should answer it.”
“Objectively, yes.” I answered, “Heart Sense in Body Cultivation is currently the only point of connection to wield this power. At least, I have not found any other means to control it. One could say that the Dream Realm is a coincidental derivative of the Body Cultivation system. It can be anticipated that the power related to Body Cultivation perception will have a highly compatible mutuality in my research with the Primordial Dream…”
“Thank you for your explanation; you don’t need to go into detail afterward since we wouldn’t understand.” Mu Li interrupted me politely yet honestly.
“I understand.” At that moment, my enlightening feelings halted. Originally, I wanted to take this opportunity to clarify the relationship between the Primordial Dream and Body Cultivation powers.
But… ordinary Body Cultivators wouldn’t discuss these theoretical matters, so I stopped.
Because I understand that Body Cultivators believe more in what they are familiar with… feelings!
Even I am the same.
Although Five Senses Body Cultivation has been singled out, its shadow runs through many corners of the Body Cultivation system and even influences the subject wielding Body Cultivation power, which is the Body Cultivator.
“Since you three generally understand the situation, would you be willing to take part in this experiment? If so, our Main World Witch Academy welcomes you. If not, we also welcome you to stay here as Body guidance teachers.”
“I want to ask, is this experiment led by this… Yang Yuelan?” At this moment, Mu Li inquired. She hesitated when addressing her but ultimately used her full name instead of just “Xiao Han.”
Even if witches are very frank, she still respects those willing to expand the Body power system.
“Well, that’s natural, but recently she has been busy with other experiments, so it’s unlikely she can devote all her energy to you. Progress might be a bit slow.”
“Slow, huh… well, that’s acceptable. I can understand; it might take several decades?”
“Uh?” Mei Linde hesitated at Mu Li’s question. Several decades? But soon she realized. The time perception she had been trying to instill in Xiao Han had become confused over the past couple of years. She had a feeling that the events in the academy had likely exceeded what had happened in the past year combined!
“Is there a problem? It can’t be a hundred years, right? That’s a bit too long. If I can continue my normal cultivation during the experiment, I might consider it.”
“No, no, no! It won’t take that long. Take that Body Cultivation Witch who is close to success as an example; under Xiao Han’s full cooperation, she preliminarily completed the construction of the Field Order in about a month. Although it’s not completely successful yet, it won’t be as exaggerated as taking several decades.”
“How long? One month?!”
It should be known that for an Extraordinary Witch preparing to advance to the Holy Realm, constructing a Spell Field takes more than a month!
“What isn’t there to agree on? For such an efficient experiment, I’d even praise it if it blew a hole in me!” Naturally, the first to express agreement was this witch.
Seeing results in as fast as a month? Is this really the cultivation of body techniques? Even in the cultivation of physical arts, who doesn’t spend decades in continuous practice?
“Don’t get too excited! Such matters also vary due to individual witches.”
“I understand～”
“Since you all expressed this kind of attitude, I’ll take it that you are all willing.” Mei Linde’s gaze shifted to meet their eyes, seeking their agreement.
“Of course.”
“I have no problem.”
“This experiment isn’t mandatory, right? What if, for whatever reason, I no longer want to continue midway?”
“If you want to withdraw, that’s naturally fine; we won’t force anyone.” Mei Linde affirmed.
“Then I also agree. When does the experiment start? Or… can it start now?”
“There’s no hurry.” Mei Linde smiled at me, “Experiments are no child’s play. You just arrived at our Witch Academy; how could we push you onto the experiment table right away?”
Of course, Mei Linde said this because she hadn’t coordinated the detailed experimental arrangements and processes with me.
After all, before truly conducting this experiment, it must depend on my availability.
“Later, a witch will come to connect with you regarding the things after you enter the academy—work aspects, office, accommodation, necessary document connections, etc. You should adapt here at the academy first, and if possible, also casually understand the current situations in the Main World. The circumstances at our Witch Academy are still somewhat tense.”
“Then we will say goodbye.”
Upon hearing that the Principal had started to talk about these matters, the three of them naturally understood that the main business was mostly over, and what came next might not be content they could listen to.
“Ah… wait, I almost forgot.” Mei Linde nodded and then remembered something. After speaking, she took out three seeds.
These three seeds were the Great Knowledge Seeds.
As Principal, she naturally had reserves to spare, but there hadn’t been an official process for tutors to enter the academy yet, so she took the lead in releasing the Great Knowledge Seeds.
“This is… the power of the Great Spellbook.” Mu Li was the first to react.
“Yes, that’s right. This is the power of the Great Spellbook, called the Great Knowledge Seed, derived from a spell effect known as the Great Knowledge Tree. It’s considered… a benefit of our current academy? Its spell effect is very unique; you can explore it yourselves.”
“Thank you~~” The three witches were very surprised.
After all, they hadn’t expected that upon entering this Witch Academy, every witch would receive an effect from the Great Spellbook!
It should be noted that the Great Spellbook is actually quite rare; no one would generously share it, and it’s also very troublesome to use its effects individually.
No one is willing to do such tedious work.
So they were quite astonished by this Principal’s actions.
Although this is just a spell effect, the effects of the Great Spellbook are everlasting. Even if the Great Spellbook is shattered, its essence will not alter its effects.
The same goes for the Great Knowledge Tree.
However, once the Great Knowledge Tree is lost as the central hub, the identification of the Earth Vein can only be retrieved from the records of the Great Knowledge Seed itself.
The connections between the Great Knowledge Tree and the Great Knowledge Seed will also cease to function, and the concept of extensively laying out a network of Great Knowledge Seeds will have problems.
Fortunately, currently, Great Knowledge Seeds can nurture Knowledge Mother Trees, producing Knowledge Seeds, but this way, the Great Knowledge Tree system has lost its highest tier core.
“No need to thank me; if you don’t know how to use it, feel free to ask any witch. I believe they would be more than willing to help you. Also… I won’t see you off.”
“Okay, that’s fine. We’ll be on our way.”
After sending off the three Body Cultivation Witches, Principal Mei quickly turned her attention back to me.
“With them gone… hmm~ Xiaoru, it’s just the two of us left now. So, tell me, what was it that you came to find me for this time?”
“Is it not… about them?” I looked toward the large Qi Observation Technique Instrument in the center of the office. At this moment, it had undergone significant changes compared to before.
Only a few witches turning around it as they support it could prove that it wasn’t completed yet.
“Is the Qi Observation Technique Instrument nearing completion?”
“Not yet. I was hoping you could help speed up the process, but it seems you’ve been busy; plans never catch up with changes, huh~”
“Ha… sorry about that.” I scratched my head awkwardly, but there wasn’t much to be done.
“It’s fine~ We can wait. Plus, letting you help was just an additional task when you had nothing else to do. But it seems you never have a break. Do you always have big plans in mind?” Principal Mei said with a smile.
“How could it be? Mei Jie, don’t have such a stereotype! I’m not a mischievous child who likes to cause trouble.”
“Mm~ right, you don’t like to cause trouble.” Mei Linde chuckled as she said this, clearly not believing it herself.
“Let’s talk about serious matters; every time you come to me, it’s a precursor to something big. Don’t tell me you’ve come to personally report on some strange experiment. I’ll state in advance that I won’t approve it.”
“Ah? I haven’t said anything yet!”
“You aren’t really here just to report, are you?”
“No, no, no! How could that be? I quickly shook my hand. ‘Actually, I came over mainly to ask some questions.'”
“Ask questions? Alright~ Go ahead, what’s the question about?” Upon hearing I came to ask questions, Mei Linde let out a breath and casually leaned back in her chair.
“Well, I’ll put it straightforwardly. Sister, is making the Black Dream a form of life also part of your search for the world’s veins?”
