Chapter 851: Deconstructed (Demolished) Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Spell
After Ninglan Qiuyue drank a bottle of invigorating potion, she took a moment to compose herself.
“Strange… I’m still a bit tired. I can’t have developed a resistance to the invigorating potion, can I?” Ninglan Qiuyue muttered to herself in confusion, but still got up and moved around a bit.
She glanced outside at the pitch-black sky.
Once again, she had stayed up all night.
As the city lord of Ninglan New City, there were simply too many things for her to handle; during the day, she had to run around in the Expanding Realm. After all, it wouldn’t do to just sit at Ninglan Township Fort and expect the Expanding Realm to unite into a larger whole.
Moreover, she also represented the will of the Witch Academy.
Since the incident with Xiao Han, she needed to constantly coordinate with the academy to respond to various situations.
“Hmm?”
As Ninglan Qiuyue gazed at the sky, she seemed to momentarily see an incredibly large silhouette in the horizon!
Even though it was just a fleeting glimpse, it delivered an overwhelmingly powerful impact in that brief moment!
It was as if everything she knew began to twist at that instant, the world started to shatter, and everything in front of her began to collapse.
Then she completely lost her vision… followed by a sense of weightlessness. In the void of her sight, a golden object that looked like a rune appeared in her consciousness. She didn’t know what it was, but it felt somewhat familiar.
However, she sensed that the more she tried to grasp it, the heavier that unknown feeling, which struck her heart, and the uncontrollable sensation of weightlessness became!
Until a certain critical moment, she suddenly lifted her head from her desk… even the relatively soft backrest couldn’t withstand her instinctual awakening.
With a jolt, the chair underneath her lost balance.
Clang!
A clear sound rang out as Ninglan Qiuyue remained seated but fell to the ground.
Then her somewhat dazed gaze refocused.
Looking at the familiar ceiling, she suddenly realized that she seemed to be in her office?
“What just happened?”
Ninglan Qiuyue stood up without feeling embarrassed, then propped up the chair and cast the cleaning spell on herself, performing the actions fluidly as if nothing had happened.
“I… just had a dream?” Ninglan Qiuyue hesitated to come to this conclusion, but she still wanted to complain… why was she still busy with work in her dream!
Ninglan Qiuyue picked up a row of diluted invigorating potions beside her. She vaguely remembered drinking a bottle, but it seemed this one hadn’t been touched.
“Is it really a dream? Why? The dream overlap in Ninglan New City… hasn’t Xiao Han already helped us calm it down? Or does it mean the dream again…”
At that moment, hurried and chaotic footsteps came from outside, and then her personal secretary Lanke burst through the door.
“Qiuyue! It’s bad! Ninglan New City is probably covered by the dream overlap area again!”
“Lanke? Calm down for a moment!” Ninglan Qiuyue said.
With Lanke’s appearance, Ninglan Qiuyue became even more certain that she had indeed fallen into a dream just now.
“I think I know what’s going on. Contact the City Guard and see how many people experienced the dream just now.”
“This… this time it’s probably widespread. When I was coming over, the City Guard defending Ninglan Township Fort had all collapsed and were just getting back up…”
“What? So large-scale?” Ninglan Qiuyue was shocked, but quickly recalled the previous message from the academy head, warning that people in the area close to Xiao Han should be prepared to evacuate at any time.
But… that place is so far from Ninglan Realm!
Would the academy head make such a basic mistake?
“Qiuyue… what should I do now…”
“Let’s go together and see what’s going on.” Ninglan Qiuyue didn’t care about anything else and personally went to check.
With such a large-scale disaster occurring, she could not just sit idle.
As she opened the door, she saw the City Guards who had rushed over first; their duty, of course, was to protect their city lord.
Even though these guards knew very well that this city lord was a witch and that her strength didn’t require their protection, their duty compelled them to respond this way.
“Were you all caught up in the dream as well?” Ninglan Qiuyue asked straightforwardly.
“Yes, city lord! We have failed as the City Guard…”
“No, this isn’t your fault. This is a great power at the extraordinary level that ordinary people can’t resist. Just now, even I fell victim. Let’s not worry about that for now… you all come with me.”
Just as Ninglan Qiuyue was preparing to investigate, she suddenly received a message from the Great Knowledge Seed.
It was the academy head personally contacting her.
After reading the somewhat rushed notification, she was left dumbfounded.
Just a moment ago, she thought this was merely a dream overlap affecting Ninglan New City, but… who would have thought this disaster involved a large part of the Expanding Realm!
“Tsk… this is troublesome…” Ninglan Qiuyue felt overwhelmed at the extent of the impact. The immediate priority was to ensure the operational status in all regions of the Expanding Realm and the safety of personnel.
…
In the Primordial Dream World.
After the academy head and the others departed, I became even more reckless in my methods. I could clearly feel the progress in mastering the wisdom-bestowed techniques.
Wisdom-bestowed is extremely important for both me and Fool Dream, as it’s one of the concepts I intend to bestow upon Fool Dream later.
The only regret is that I cannot use wisdom deprivation on these extraordinary beings; I can only use wisdom blight, which means I can’t utilize them to create wisdom seeds that I can use.
However, this didn’t impact me significantly.
After marking these individuals with a knowledge power anchor, their final destination would be to be lost in the Primordial Dream World.
Then, among the original search plan proposed by the academy head, they might have the chance to be retrieved.
Now, while staying in the Primordial Dream World, I essentially have two major tasks left to do.
The first is to continue researching nightmares, to find a dream-state soul material suitable for soul drawing, and complete the shaping of soul Fool Dream.
The second… is to dismantle the Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Spell and create a whole new “Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Tree” based on the framework of the Fool Dream Seed!
The newly created Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Tree might not even be considered a Grand Spellbook.
The Great Knowledge Tree was shaped using the framework of the Memory Shelf Spellbook. If I wanted the Great Knowledge Tree to become a complete Grand Spellbook, I would at least need to advance to extraordinary, master the true editing techniques, and possess the foundation to create a spellbook, in order to complete its capabilities.
The Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Tree I planned… it doesn’t even have the framework of a spellbook!
Its framework is the Dream World Scroll!
However, it was transcribed from the special techniques of the Great Knowledge Tree to become the Fool Dream Seed.
So… the essence of the Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Tree is born from the spell effects of another Grand Spellbook… a transformation technique.
Although it sounds a bit convoluted, once I broke the limitation that the “extraordinary knowledge” doesn’t necessarily lead to a Grand Spellbook, the essence of the Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Tree becomes less of a concern.
Or rather, what it is no longer matters; what matters is what it can bring me.
A whole new… Fool Village?
Or a Fool Village blessed by a sacred object?
Even I don’t know what the final result will look like.
I’m actually quite curious, after reconstructing the Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Tree, whether the other techniques derived from this Grand Spellbook platform will undergo peculiar changes.
Mimetic Soul… Soul Drawing… Wisdom Bestowed…
Even my field!
After all, my field is the interplay of body cultivation and the two Grand Spellbooks…
This means that if I take this step and fail, I will lose many things, including the power of the field. The order encompassed by the knowledge power within the field will undergo unpredictable changes.
But if successful?
The benefits are definitely unimaginable…
However, these so-called fantasies of success and failure hold no meaning for me right now.
Even if I fail afterwards, to me, it will only bring anxiety about the future, and success… will only bring a momentary fleeting joy.
This choice for me is undoubtedly not a gamble; the outcome is not limited to just success or failure.
From a developmental standpoint, my current choice is definitely a decision that guarantees profit without loss.
Things that are unsuitable for me, even if they are Grand Spellbooks, are nothing more than spells to me; the so-called reluctance is merely stagnation.
The techniques derived from these powers and the field are, after all, just handy “tools”. If I am unwilling to part with them… it just proves that I have fallen into the trap of chasing power.
However, the knowledge that shapes these powers and everything I recognize about the extraordinary will not disappear.
Only my obsession with this power will fade away.
Thinking it over…
I should be the person in this main world who should have the least anxiety about power!
Undoubtedly, below the extraordinary level, if I say “I am invincible!”, who can refute that?
And above the extraordinary, that is even less something I should be anxious about.
What I’m lacking ultimately comes down to time.
After realizing this, I suddenly found that the psychological burden of dismantling a Grand Spellbook seemed to become much lighter.
In reality.
The academy head and others arranged for my physical body to be placed in the Expanding Realm as per my request.
However, merely placing it there was not enough; several witch mentors were also present to oversee it to prevent any incidents.
It can be said that the academy head places a high importance on Xiao Han.
But… Mei Linde seems to have forgotten one thing.
That is, the Xiao Han she values so much… is also a small witch who knows how to create chaos.
Among the three witches remaining in the Expanding Realm, Bai Yu also volunteered to be one of those taking care of Xiao Han.
Even though Bai Yu had just returned from the Primordial Dream World, she ultimately chose to stay beside Xiao Han.
After all, the upcoming matters are essentially professional squabbling, and Bai Yu naturally doesn’t need to follow the academy head and others to negotiate with other academies.
“Is this Xiao Han? It’s my first time seeing her up close~”
At this moment, the other two witches naturally approached, though their hands were slightly restrained, as the person of interest was right next to them, so they needed to hold back a bit.
These two witches volunteered to help care for Xiao Han, naturally having their own intentions, such as… they were genuinely curious about what exactly happened in the Expanding Realm.
After all, the influence of the dream catastrophe had yet to show any signs of dissipating, and some accompanying dream disaster phenomena were still occurring.
So their main intent was to strike up a conversation with Bai Yu and casually gather some gossip to learn about things they didn’t know!
They couldn’t wait to find out what had happened in the Expanding Realm.
In their view, Bai Yu, as a participant in this matter, undoubtedly had the right to speak!
At that moment, Bai Yu was lightly tidying Xiao Han’s clothes, brushing off some dust that had been collected during this incident, and gently combing through her slightly messy silvery-white long hair with a comb.
“Sister, may I ask… you are Xiao Han’s girlfriend, the legendary Bai Yu, right?”
“The legendary? That title seems a bit exaggerated!” Bai Yu found the conversation with these two sisters quite amusing.
Although it was clear they knew her, Bai Yu still made a formal introduction, and these two witches did the same.
The friendship between witches is quite simple; many relationships often begin from a conversation or a bit of gossip.
These two also openly expressed their keen interest in the situation within the Expanding Realm.
And they stated that they were among the witches at the forefront of gossip in the Witch Academy.
To this, Bai Yu was naturally willing to call them sisters, as getting along well with a few well-informed witches offered her many benefits; at the very least, she could have more channels to learn valuable information promptly.
Only now… she had become the source of gossip dissemination.
Bai Yu understood that for this matter, some things could not be disclosed, such as… Xiao Han’s mastery over the dream realm!
For such a “weapon of mass destruction”, even the academy head advocated for secrecy.
Currently, the only witches aware of Xiao Han’s dream realm are those who participated in this incident, and they had all promised not to speak of it.
At least, while the matter hasn’t reached a decisive influence at the strategic level, it will not be revealed.
The information that Bai Yu would share is also well-regulated, as these had all been “pre-arranged”.
The Witch Academy, like other extraordinary academies, was also affected by this dream catastrophe, but thanks to timely rescue, the losses were minimal.
Only a few witches were lost in the Primordial Dream World.
During the invasion of the Primordial Dream World, the Witch Academy made some small breakthrough advances regarding the Primordial Dream, which allowed for the prediction of the dream catastrophe…
And just as Bai Yu was explaining this, a sudden shift made her stop her thought of continuing.
The other two witches were also drawn in by this sudden shift.
They saw Xiao Han’s body suddenly emanate a golden knowledge power, and then… a light orb floated out from within her.
This orb wrapped in knowledge power was the Grand Spellbook.
This scene left the three witches present in stunned silence.
But the next moment, what transpired shocked them even more!
Because… the Grand Spellbook, wrapped in knowledge power, was gradually deconstructing and collapsing!
