Chapter 906: The Unbeatable Situation of the Witch Academy
“Emotion… Body Cultivation?” Ahsoka said, a bit dazed.
Although she had not truly embarked on this path at this moment, it was already the second time she had come into contact with this kind of power.
At this moment, she was merely accessing the power along this path under my guidance.
Just as the rigid threshold for all body cultivators is the Heart Sense, this does not mean that simply possessing Heart Sense qualifies one to tread this path.
Only by understanding its essence or adapting to this power can one have the right to master this path.
Theoretically speaking, self-awakened body cultivation should be better suited to this kind of power.
However, Yang Heng and Chizhu have not yet reached my level in developing and understanding self-awakened body cultivation, so they cannot naturally step onto this path; they still need my forceful guidance like Ahsoka.
“The learning threshold of many systems is actually quite low; as long as you reach the rigid threshold and realize what its essence is, then the rest will naturally be understood,” I said.
As I often say, only through experience can one truly know what that feeling is; it is an experience that cannot be described even with a thousand languages.
It’s like learning to ride a bicycle for the first time, learning to ride a broom, or learning to swim — the so-called inability comes simply from lacking that first success.
“Does this mean I’ve succeeded?” Ahsoka asked, somewhat confused; she seemed to feel something yet also felt like she hadn’t learned anything.
“That depends on how you understand it. Don’t worry about it for now; some things cannot be rushed. Perhaps when you inadvertently feel something, that experience will become the critical stepping stone that helps you walk this path.”
“Alright, I’ll trust you,” Ahsoka replied helplessly.
Although she didn’t understand the earlier content, she grasped the last part.
It felt like an important accumulation; she often experienced this feeling, as if nearing a breakthrough but just missing that final step. Often, a casual unintentional moment became the key step.
So she chose to trust this little witch before her.
Of course, she believed more in the sincerity of the other party.
“Thank you for your trust. Now let’s move on to the next step, as the separation of the soul from the body is merely a hurdle before the experiment begins.”
As I spoke, I began preparing the materials and familiarizing myself with the already prepared instruments.
In the laboratory, Principal Mei looked a bit bewildered; the sincerity between body cultivators
Could any contradiction be resolved?
Not just Principal Mei, but those qualified witches observing were also curious.
After all, the earlier contradiction had escalated into a debate about talent; the contradiction between those with and without talent cannot simply be set aside.
While the debate over talent is objectively a confusion of the concepts of talent and effort, in reality, the two are irreconcilable.
Regardless of whether one has talent, effort is undoubtedly right; a talented individual who works hard is more formidable than a talented individual who does not put in effort. The same goes for those without talent; this comparison is objectively correct.
But this does not satisfy those who bicker.
Even when given the answer, they are unwilling to relent. What kind of person is this?
Of course, they are unreasonable people.
Thus, the conflict between effort and talent is, in fact, the resentment between arrogance and arrogance.
The correct approach is to see the issue clearly and watch the arrogant people argue while continuing to strive.
Because effort is definitely correct and does not lose its meaning just because one lacks talent.
“Okay, you can return to your bodies now and lie down on the prepared recliners. Our next experiment will begin in the form of the soul.”
I spoke.
After all, it is a formal experiment; otherwise, I couldn’t just let them lean against the corner of the laboratory, could I?
Moreover, preparing some instruments is not difficult for the laboratory at all.
The three witches had no objections and followed my instructions.
After lying down on the experimental recliners, their souls separated from their bodies once more; this time it was much faster than the previous attempt since having a first experience naturally leads to a second one, and it was only slightly strenuous.
Of course, there was another possibility.
A body cultivation power system that completely relies on talent makes their life essence and body connection tighter.
This could also be one reason why it is difficult to complete the separation of soul essence from the body.
“What should we do next?”
“Let’s go directly into the Primordial Dream, which is that area,” I pointed to a specific section in the laboratory’s core area, a localized zone where the controllable Primordial Dream descends, and also the entrance to the Primordial Dream dominated by my Field Order.
“Directly?”
“Yes, very direct. Just like before, the soul will leave the body, and this step is about adapting to the environment because the Primordial Dream is the place where the Dream Field operates.”
“You can experience it; the Primordial Dream is inherently dangerous. Even…
For witches walking the great topic of the soul, exploring the Primordial Dream is fraught with danger. You can feel it for yourselves and then address what the dangers of the Primordial Dream truly are.”
“Mental pressure.” This was what Yan said.
She leaned closer to the Primordial Dream; although she did not succeed, she could feel the sensation of her soul being pressured, ultimately being forced to sink into the Primordial Dream.
“That’s right, it’s mental pressure. If we compare the Primordial Dream to an ocean, then this deep-level mental pressure is like powerful water pressure. However, this is not the only danger. Those entering the Primordial Dream for the first time, whether they are people or witches, often overlook many dangers, and those overlooked dangers are the greatest threats.”
I recalled my own venture into the Primordial Dream in the Expanding Realm, that kind of cognitive screening that involuntarily draws a person into the world of dreams, causing them to forget some things, such as tasks that need to be done, specific memories, the way back, and even… who am I!
The more one forgets, the closer they get to “being lost.”
Perhaps you are still in place, but you have already sunk deeper into the realm of dreams, forgetting who you are.
“Apart from mental pressure, there are other dangers in the Primordial Dream, such as… Dream Creatures. They instinctively weave some dreams to pull you in, or in the Primordial Dream, you may encounter a bizarre world shaped by information, and these are all dangers.”
“Are there really Dream Creatures in the Primordial Dream?”
“Yes, but there are almost none left in this laboratory.” I explained.
After all, I maintain a steady state for the experimental Primordial Dream; my Dream Field Order has intimidated the Dream Creatures away.
Moreover… they have been captured by me for experiments on Dream State Soul Material.
“If you want to see one, I don’t mind letting one out for you to play with.” My constant dream laboratory has a large number of “raised” Dream Creatures, mostly for collecting Dream Demons and studying the transformation of Dream Creatures into Soul Material, among other experiments.
“Are you referring to those Fool Dreams? By the way, it seems we haven’t seen those little cuties this time.” Mu said.
“Fool Dreams… they are a very special kind of Dream Creature and cannot be compared to ordinary Dream Creatures. Of course, you can understand it as my whim; they are currently undergoing a very important experiment.”
“Are you using those Fool Dreams for experiments?”
“…You could say that.” I paused for a moment, then nodded.
I didn’t want to justify who I was to make Fool Dreams become true life; no amount of words is as convincing as the moment I succeeded.
This topic ended here.
They too felt it was not a time for play; they needed to familiarize themselves with their own power in the Primordial Dream and adapt to its environment.
The essence of the three witches’ souls was revealed in the Primordial Dream area of the laboratory.
It was quite crowded.
However, if one wanted to expand the size of the Primordial Dream, a larger Dream Overlap Buffer Zone would be needed.
This would affect the other experiment teams in the experimental zone.
The previous expansion of the Primordial Dream was coordinated by the Principal.
One way to address the impacts of Dream Overlap is to adjust the laboratory’s position, but not all experimental teams and equipment within every laboratory can be moved.
Even some unconventional experiment teams have conducted luck rituals and other bizarre methods, making coordination implausible.
After all, many experimental teams have been somewhat driven mad by their experiments, doing some things while firmly believing in mysticism, and it has become common to hold superstitious beliefs.
If one were to truly ask, the starting point would be the foundation of mysticism, and it would all amount to a set.
The Principal has no way to deal with them.
So she had no choice but to endure it.
In fact, I could directly take them deeper into the Primordial Dream to perform the experiment, but the Principal still found it somewhat dangerous. After careful consideration, she ultimately abandoned this course of action.
After all, the last time I took Sister Bai into the deep layers of the Primordial Dream led to a wave of dreams sweeping over half the Witch Academy; this was still the result of my strenuous efforts to prevent a clash.
Thus, to avoid unnecessary accidents, I compromised; after all… it was not I who would suffer, but these three body cultivation witches.
“Use Heart Sense to feel the information, connect the realms through the Five Senses…” I spoke as they listened.
Some professional terms, as well as the meanings of the proprietary terms I defined myself, had already been annotated in previous theoretical materials. If they didn’t understand, it had to be because they had not read carefully, but it was clear that their memory was quite good.
It is known that generally, a Great Knowledge Seed unmediated by Dream Transformation cannot operate in the dream.
At this moment, they could feel this power still existed in the dream, but they could not use it.
This was because, in the dream, there is no foundation for the deployment and effectiveness of real-world magic.
They were able to remember all those theoretical principles I discussed; indeed, it was quite beyond my expectations.
And I also had to admit one point… they were truly more powerful than Sister Bai.
Even though they were not on the path related to the great topic of the soul, their understanding and knowledge in body cultivation and Heart Sense far exceeded that of the Bai sisters.
Currently, the only advantage that the Bai sisters had over them was… Sense of Time.
Sense of Time granted the Bai sisters the ability to dominate themselves, to govern themselves on an understanding level, which is why the Bai sisters had an additional layer of “domination” in their starting path.
However, no matter how one looks at it, these are all the “characteristics” presented after the order has been shaped.
Yet, the most important aspect of the Dream Field is to shape the order of self-control, which is then followed by the things that the characteristics of that order can achieve.
I understood that at this moment, the Principal hoped they would grasp the Dream Order so that it could trigger a collision between the chaotic order of the Primordial Dream and individual order, thus causing a disaster in the dream that could reach the real world.
As for the properties of the order, they are more means for development and utilization in the Primordial Dream.
This certainly cannot be applied in combat and cannot provide combat strength, but it is a stage that must be passed to develop the Primordial Dream.
Like the derivation process of E=mc², it cannot take anyone’s life, but an atomic bomb can.
Empirical evidence of the Dream Field is a long process; nevertheless, there are always those willing to wait.
If these three witches complete the Dream Field, even if it’s just a higher level of order than Bai Hua, that would prove the correctness of this path!
Thus, the Witch Academy would have five powerful witches on a strategic level.
And how would this move be used?
Of course, it would be an unexpected move to defeat the enemy!
The moment the world’s pulse is found would be the day when the disaster in the dream descends upon the entire Core Realm!
And no other Extraordinary Academy could block it! Even if they perish together, there is still a great weakening of strength for this move to buy time.
It can be said that with this, the witches have already grasped the chips for ultimate victory; they are just missing a crucial piece of information, which prevents them from using it openly.
From Mei Linde’s perspective, as I mastered this ability, a plan formed in her mind, and at the moment her sister also succeeded, her plan would still be initially refined. If these three also succeed completely, then she would have nothing to worry about!
She!
Mei Linde!
Has never fought such a wealthy battle!
Indeed, the crushing of means defeats a thousand-year layout and probe.
Not a single moment did she feel that her past grand magic was worthwhile.
At least, the gamble from years ago, which brought about “peace,” has now become the final assurance for their plan at this stage.
“Bai Hua, didn’t expect you to come too,” Mei Linde’s clone said, surprised to see Bai Hua entering silently.
“Am I not supposed to come? It seems I arrived late; Xiao Han’s experiment has already started.”
“Now you are considered a senior to those three in the Dream Field, right? Will you have anything to teach them then?” Mei Linde asked teasingly.
“I’ll refrain from flaunting these advantages,” Bai Hua replied, looking at the three witches whose talents made even her envious, but it also solidified her determination to quicken her pace.
“I have completed the framework of the Dream Order, but to this day, I still haven’t shaped a complete field, yet they are different… With the help of self-awakened body cultivation, once they reach my level, they will quickly surpass me.”
“You really don’t need to belittle yourself like that, do you?”
“No, I’m just maintaining a sense of humility like Xiao Han, fully aware of my shortcomings, but not immersed in comparing myself to others, nor will I forget my advantages.”
“Hmph~ has Xiao Han beaten you down? However… this line of reasoning seems quite interesting.”
