Chapter 889: What Truth Can Be Found Only Above the Floating World?
“The game is over… did she fall asleep again?”
I was about to say something when the game master once again “fell asleep.”
I held her in my arms; this state could last for a short time of a few minutes or a dozen minutes, or long enough to last several hours.
Even when I established a connection with her through the consciousness communication method, I couldn’t investigate what exactly she had “encountered.”
That feeling was peculiar, as if there was something clearly visible, yet separated by an impenetrable membrane.
“What could it be?” I frowned, somewhat confused.
Neither my naked eye nor the Earth Vein Identification Technique could reach that level, including my attempts to observe within the Primordial Dream World using Field Order.
Because I couldn’t observe the game master’s consciousness within the Primordial Dream World, I hesitantly ruled out the possibility of her being in a deep sleep.
I speculated that it was another level… the Real Time.
When I observed her with Spirit Vision, I discovered a hint, but still no substantial clues.
However… I hadn’t relied on my Spirit Vision for a while now.
After acquiring the Great Knowledge Tree, the more effective Earth Vein Identification Technique gradually replaced my Spirit Vision observations within the context of Real Time.
Moreover, after the Earth Vein Identification Technique underwent special derivation and incorporated information deconstruction capabilities that aligned with the information observation of Spirit Vision, I used Spirit Vision even less directly.
Spirit Vision had become more of a “derivative accessory” to the Earth Vein Identification Technique.
Due to the high level of Spirit Vision within the Floating World, even now, I can fully accept the information reflected in that layer of Real Time, yet I would find it hard to bear.
But after detaching from the framework of the Earth Vein Identification Technique, the Spirit Vision at the Floating World level indicated to me that Yu Yun’s consciousness might have reached a higher level within Real Time!
But how is that possible?
To know that the level division of Real Time is “foresight, imaging, unknowing, desire to go crazy, Floating World, Real World.”
Spirit Vision represents the visual perception channel among the five senses, and a level higher than the Floating World exists only in one layer!
I looked at Yu Yun with a mixed feeling, while the other three Fool Dreams looked on with curiosity, as if Yu Yun were simply asleep.
What strengthened my disbelief was that during Yu Yun’s “sleeping” period, her soul essence was quietly undergoing changes—very subtle, yet not escaping my observation.
I couldn’t comprehend how this was accomplished, just like ordinary people couldn’t fathom casting spells.
Through this “change,” I locked onto Yu Yun’s consciousness, which might be immersed in Real Time.
“I’ve made up my mind; I intend to stop suppressing the learning of Spirit Vision at the world level, and instead, embrace it as part of my understanding.” After much hesitation, I finally made this decision!
The so-called reliance on the Earth Brain hub to link senses and such were all forced compromises; any analysis or sorting of information distorts its original meaning, and the Earth Vein Identification Technique is no exception.
Only Spirit Vision, the most intuitive and direct channel to the essence of consciousness and knowledge, can minimize information distortion.
Therefore, adaptation is the best driver for a power.
“Well~ since we’re with you, let’s cheer you on!” Hearing me say this, Yu Lan immediately encouraged me, as did the other two Fool Dreams.
They didn’t understand what my decision meant; they only knew that once I made it, I would act on it until I succeeded!
Of course, I didn’t choose to do this on a whim; I had been tortured by Spirit Vision since birth!
Now, with the growth of my life level, my understanding of many things was also improving; my self-awareness had the backing of the Great Knowledge Tree, and my consciousness was shared among many clones—the ordinary feedback from those clones was the best means to anchor “normal cognition.”
Even though Spirit Vision had a strong and continuous impact on me, I had plenty of clones to share the burden.
And moreover, I was about to test an experiment.
An art based on Soul Drawing that quickly elevates my soul level.
You should know that in the academy, the students are mostly soul essence lives; they can elevate their life levels through soul essence using special techniques.
But these methods are useless for my soul essence.
This is a difference in the essence of life.
Thus, I must find another way to elevate my soul level.
For this kind of thing, I naturally asked Sister Bai.
I inquired if there were any methods to elevate soul levels, as after becoming an Extraordinary Witch, a witch’s soul life would transition further, yet they could not remain at this level indefinitely.
But… the answer I received exceeded my expectations.
There are naturally methods to enhance soul levels, but they are slow and quite rare, and those with quick results require very special soul materials.
However, no matter how slow, across a span of a few hundred years, the effect is still decent.
But… I can’t wait.
Thus, I overlooked most of these methods.
I intend to continue using my own approach.
This method will be more in harmony with me.
Utilizing a large amount of Soul Crystals to sublime and fill my soul essence through Soul Drawing.
I have witnessed the complete soul of the Extraordinary level, so I understand how to fill it.
Raising one level of the soul layer will also enhance my adaptability to Spirit Vision, at the very least widening my scope and increasing my ability to withstand the impact of Spirit Vision.
Additionally, I am not far from advancing to Extraordinary.
Perhaps at this stage, my need to adapt to Spirit Vision is an opportunity; one must endure hardship on the road of life to compensate for future ease.
After I made this decision, my clone had already arrived downstairs from Principal Mei’s office.
I sent a message to the Principal in advance and then went to find her.
Principal’s Office.
“Thank you for being willing to come to our Witch Academy in the Main World.”
“It’s nothing; we just heard about the academy’s focus on witches who cultivate the sixth sense. As you understand, Body Cultivation in the witch community is… not very common.”
“Yes, so we really hope this academy will be one promoting body strength.” At this moment, another witch chimed in.
“Although we have come to He, I still understand the Main World Witch Academy; historically, this academy has not intentionally promoted Body Cultivation, and even the allocation of teaching resources for Body Cultivation is at the conventional ratio. Not long ago, they special recruited a Body Cultivation witch?”
“I understand your concerns.” Mei Linde smiled at the three witches before her, who were sturdier than the average witch. “However, due to some special reasons, our academy has a high demand for Body Cultivation witches, especially those who have awakened the sixth sense…”
At that moment, Mei Linde’s attention was briefly distracted because she received a communication from the Great Knowledge Tree labeled “special attention.”
“We are going to conduct a very special experiment, and the requirements for the subjects are extremely high; ideally, they should be Self-Awakened Body Cultivators, and if that’s not possible, at least Body Cultivation witches who have awakened the sixth sense.”
The three witches present were all Body Cultivation witches with the sixth sense. As for self-awakened body cultivation… two of those witches qualified.
After all, the allure of Body Cultivation power for witches is far less than that of magic; if it weren’t for “special talents” sustaining their livelihoods, no one would actively choose this path.
Mei Linde had never expected that recruiting witches with such conditions would be so difficult.
Up until now, she had only found these three, and they weren’t the ones who sought her out; she contacted them through special means.
After all… even if the Main World Witch Academy advertised for witches, not all witches could see it. Perhaps many qualified witches exist within the vast numbers, but not many would see it and be willing to come.
However… three should be enough, Mei Linde thought.
After all, there’s only one person guiding them, Xiao Lan, and having too many would be overwhelming.
She hadn’t yet had the chance to discuss this matter in detail with Xiao Lan, only mentioning it briefly, and Xiao Lan did not refuse.
To her surprise, it was at this time that Xiao Lan happened to return.
It seemed to save her the trouble of searching for her.
“Perhaps you can just tell us directly what you want us to do here; I don’t think you’re asking us to be tutors in the academy for those students, who, from my perspective, are still too weak. Their physical strength is entirely supported by the essence of life’s undying nature.”
“Yes, since you mentioned the sixth sense to us, you understand that engaging in any roundabout conversation with me is meaningless.”
“Indeed, sorry; I’ve become too accustomed to being a principal and speaking directly.”
Her conversational style felt somewhat unsuitable. Mei Linde let out a wry smile and stopped being formal.
“Our academy has made a breakthrough in the field of Primordial Dream World, and… a witch has mastered the means to observe and interfere with the Primordial Dream World. It is crucial to note that it is direct observation and interference in deep-level Primordial Dreams, rather than the minor disturbances typical of the Primordial Dream.”
“Primordial Dream World… is a field I have not yet touched; what about you?” After hearing Mei Linde’s remarks, one of the witches looked somewhat troubled as she turned to the other two.
“No, I heard that the Primordial Dream World is a derivative project of the soul’s great topic of exploration? That’s about all I know.”
“I haven’t even heard of it.”
“Huh… it’s fine; the witch race as a whole is similarly just beginning in the field of Primordial Dreams, so there’s no need to worry.” Although Mei Linde had anticipated this, she still found it somewhat regrettable.
At least, as an ordinary Body Cultivation witch, she was still dealing with a common topic, part of the soul’s great topic.
The three of them were, at most, at the level of elevating the great topic of the soul to that of the soul itself.
This merely meant they borrowed strength or some technique from the great topic of this field, rather than truly stepping onto this topic.
And just as Mei Linde finished speaking, a petite figure appeared at the office door.
Little Run finally arrived, Mei Linde thought as she waved with a smile, “Little Run~ you’re just in time, come in.”
“Huh?”
I let out a slight growl before noticing the three witches aside from Principal Mei. They all turned to look at me in unison, revealing slightly surprised expressions.
In an instant, I sensed their terrifying aura and the feedback regarding body cultivation strength; moreover, I vaguely perceived a resonance of Heart Sense stemming from them!
This was a special sensitivity arising from both possessing the sixth sense and Heart Sense!
However, unfortunately, I was currently in a clone state.
“Come in~ it’s fine; let me introduce you.” Mei Linde stood up.
As I curiously watched the three witches, they too gazed at me with curiosity.
In just a glance, they realized I seemed… not to be alive?
It was more similar to an apparition, clone, or puppet.
They also sensed a faint resonance from Heart Sense, but the one in front… her physical strength could only be described as frail.
“Little Run, these are the witches I mentioned to you before; the academy will be focusing on Body Cultivation witches in the following period, and these three are them. You should be able to tell, right?”
“Um… I can tell.” As I shifted my gaze from Principal Mei to them, their more robust physique compared to ordinary witches made it difficult not to notice.
However, perhaps due to witches’ pursuit of their self-image, they leaned more towards being fit rather than overly muscular.
Compared to ordinary witches, two of them seemed to have obvious traits of other races.
But… dressed in somewhat tighter clothing, they appeared outwardly just a bit taller.
“Hello, older witches…” Out of courtesy, I spoke as customary.
“You have the sixth sense?” Unexpectedly, the middle witch asked.
“Yes, but this is my clone; my main body is not here.” I nodded in response.
“No wonder, that’s quite a strange clone.” She commented, as it was indeed a form of clone she had never seen before, more akin to… a zombie?
“Let me introduce myself. I am Ri; it’s a pleasure to meet another Body Cultivation witch, sister.”
“Ha… haha, just call me Xiao Xi; my full name is Yang Yuelan.” I felt a bit embarrassed at that moment but quickly responded.
After all, this was the first time an Extraordinary Witch sister had referred to me, making me feel as if she regarded me as one of them.
“Alright then, I’ll call you Xiao Han.”
“My name is Rong Li; I hope to see your main body next time.” Another witch smiled slightly, speaking in expectation.
“I am Zhi Ni; I hope we can communicate more in the future. I would like to learn what level of Body Cultivation witches are at in the world.”
“Okay, it seems I don’t need to introduce you anymore.” Mei Linde remarked beside them, “let’s get back on topic, shall we?”
“Yes, so Xiao Han, please wait a moment; we just arrived at the Witch Academy, and the Principal is explaining some things we need to know.” Xiao Yan nodded and spoke straightforwardly.
“No need to wait, what I’m about to say relates to all of you, including you, Xiao Han.” Mei Linde said.
“Oh? How coincidental?” The three witches appeared somewhat surprised, then they all turned to look at me, seemingly curious about what connection they had with me.
“Yes~ as I mentioned earlier, our Witch Academy has made groundbreaking leaps in the realm of the Primordial Dream, and this refers to this one.”
