Chapter 893: Laboratory Precautions
The three witches instantly understood when they saw Mei Linde talking to someone.
After all, they had thought about it countless times before, but they never expected that the girl called “Yang Yuelan” was actually a little witch who wasn’t even an Extraordinary Witch!
And Mu Li, who was the most quick-witted, after being shocked, thought of a possibility.
After all, a little witch could also be an Extraordinary Witch who “brought about her own downfall,” falling from the Extraordinary stage!
If she was the kind of reckless academic witch willing to cut herself, it was possible that some experiment led to her falling from the Extraordinary.
After all, not long ago, they had learned that this girl had killed dozens of other races’ extraordinaries in an experiment.
However, Mu Li’s train of thought was quickly interrupted by the next response.
“Hello, three sisters, come in.”
She saw the academy head personally leading the three witches inside, and she welcomed them.
In the laboratory, the other witches also curiously poked their heads out to see what was happening. Most of them were conducting regular expansion experiments of the Primordial Dream here.
“…You’re calling me sister… uh… you really are a little witch?” Mu Li quickly received the honorary little witch contract certification.
“I’m really sorry I didn’t mention it before, and I didn’t expect you to misunderstand, but I really haven’t promoted to the Extraordinary yet,” I explained briefly as I ushered them in, clarifying previous misunderstandings.
But while they were shocked, they also sensed something amiss.
Because… even though this little witch wasn’t an Extraordinary, the moment they saw her, they instinctively felt a sense of unease.
They had all practiced Five Senses Body Cultivation; otherwise, they wouldn’t have easily awakened their sixth sense. But because of that, they could more easily sense the dreadfulness in her gaze.
It was as if… she saw through their essence with just one look.
Of course, while focusing on her eyes, they also noticed the resonance coming from a heart sense.
This little witch before them was also a practitioner of sixth sense body cultivation!
Although it surprised them that she wasn’t an Extraordinary Witch, sharing the same practice gave them a slight sense of kinship.
However, in their eyes, this little witch’s physical quality seemed somewhat weak; she hadn’t fully developed her body’s strength!
“This is our Primordial Dream Laboratory. The central area of the laboratory contains a controllable Primordial Dream. Currently, the laboratory operates under a collaborative model of multiple experimental topics and projects, so you will often see witches from other experiment groups here…”
As I guided them through the laboratory, I explained to help them familiarize themselves with the situation and informed them in advance where they could try things and where they shouldn’t.
“Hmm? What’s this…”
While curiously looking around the laboratory, she saw a Fool Dream, and her hand, reaching out to touch it, froze for a moment as she recalled the lesson before entering.
“They are Fool Dreams; there are four of them in this laboratory. You can think of them as Dream Creatures. They also have the shells I created for them to act in reality; they’re a bunch of adorable little ones.”
“They’re indeed very cute.” Mu Li looked at the appearance of the Fool Dreams, her eyes almost sparkling!
“I hope you won’t regard them as pets; they are my most important assistants in the experiment. Of course, if you really like these little ones, you can try visiting the Witch Cat Café; they also have Fool Dreams working there.”
“They also have these little ones at the Witch Cat Café?”
“Mm.”
“In that case, I definitely need to experience that.”
“Let’s return to the main topic.” I spoke up, “Here basically belongs to the constant storage area of the Primordial Dream, divided into a physical apparatus storage and dream specimen storage…”
After giving them a rough understanding of the laboratory, we returned to where we began.
“Since my research topics are relatively singular, the laboratory appears somewhat simple.”
“Not simple at all; it feels like a small maze, much more convoluted than the villa I’m staying in.”
“That’s how laboratories are, built to minimize interference between different areas.” I smiled and explained, “In short, that’s the general situation of the laboratory. I believe you’re very concerned about your most pressing issue, which is the experiments related to the Dream Realm.”
Mentioning this matter, the three witches instantly perked up. After their excitement during the tour of the laboratory, they began to feel a bit bored.
“Based on this experiment, I have divided it into four stages. The first stage is the theoretical stage, where, before the experiment starts, you will understand some necessary concepts to prepare you for full comprehension.”
“The second stage, the adaptation stage, is where the official experiment begins. The original dream realm is an environment you have never been exposed to before, requiring adaptation. You can think of it as the initial time you engage in body cultivation, honing yourself in harsh conditions.”
“The third stage is the official critical stage, where you fully harness your body cultivation powers and means to establish a preliminary self-order in the Primordial Dream, laying the foundation for achieving the Dream Realm.”
“This stage… is it similar to the general Holy Realm condensation field?” At that moment, Mu Li asked.
“Maybe, but it should be somewhat similar.”
“Should be?” Mu Li was somewhat perplexed.
“Xiao Han is not yet an Extraordinary in the Holy Realm; using ‘should’ isn’t wrong.” At that moment, the presence-lacking Qi Ni reminded her.
“Oh, I almost forgot.”
“It’s fine; that’s about what I meant. I haven’t experienced the sensation of the Holy Realm condensation field, so I naturally can’t assert anything. However, what I said has no basis.” As I spoke, knowledge power materialized in my hand.
“Order Power?” Vanni and Mu Li instantly sensed the aura unique to the field order.
Thus, their tones were filled with astonishment!
“Yes, I haven’t ascended to the Extraordinary yet, but even so, I still possess the ability to shape order. Don’t forget I’m a body cultivation practitioner; the heart realm derived from heart sense is quite simple to shape.”
“Almost forgot…” Mu Li slapped her forehead, feeling that over these days they had witnessed too many previously unknown things about this little witch named Yang Yuelan.
“The heart realm seems to be different, right? Even though I clearly understand that each witch domain’s heart realm is different, the differences can’t be that significant.” Vanni spoke up.
“Indeed, my domain is composed not only of the heart realm but also other concepts that make up a composite order. Let’s not talk about that. After all… I mention this only to assure you of my professionalism since this experiment requires your cooperation. If you harbor doubts about anything, it won’t be beneficial for our collaboration.”
“That’s a fair point. How could we possibly doubt you? If it were like that, we wouldn’t be so foolish as to keep it to ourselves and directly ask. After all, if you can’t gain our trust, we have the right to leave the experiment at any time.” At this moment, Mu Li spoke sincerely.
“Thank you for your trust.” I smiled at them.
I must say, conversing with this group of body cultivation witches is very refreshing; they ask questions directly without worrying about holding back.
“Speaking of the fourth stage I didn’t mention earlier, the final refinement stage is a bit challenging and also requires consideration.” After all, my Older Sister Bai still hasn’t completely perfected the Dream Realm and still can’t shake off the suffix of “shaping.”
“I know why you’re here, mainly for the theoretical issues related to the Dream Realm experiment. I’ve almost organized everything.”
As I spoke, three runes generated from the Great Knowledge Sharing Technique appeared in my hand.
“Take this; you can directly use the Great Knowledge Seed to assimilate the information. I see that you seem to have completed the symbiosis recognition of the Great Knowledge Seed, so it should be fine, right?” I asked.
“Of course, it’s no problem.” Mu Li spoke first.
In these past two days, she had indeed been busy with the Great Knowledge Seed, as it was related to the powers tied to the Great Spellbook, so she was naturally curious about it.
Under the guidance of the other witches, she was gradually familiarizing herself with this peculiar operation.
What she was focusing on even more was the Earth Vein Identification Technique associated with the Great Knowledge Seed!
Who would have thought that in life, there would be an identification technique that can provide detailed information about surface phenomena at any time? The value of that is immeasurable!
“In here are my detailed precautions compiled. If you don’t want to read these voluminous and complex texts, you can directly inject them into the Great Knowledge Seed as memory. At least this way, you can access the corresponding information at critical moments through the Great Knowledge Seed.”
“Additionally, there are insights summarized by Older Sister Bai… um, the first witch to attempt to control the Dream Realm with body cultivation. I hope you’ll take a look; it will greatly aid your progress.”
“Mm, alright.” After a moment of stunned silence, Mu Li nodded.
Not knowing if it was just her illusion, she felt that the little witch before her always spoke in a polite request tone.
Usually, if they were cooperating in the experiment, disseminating information would simply involve memorizing everything, mastering each detail thoroughly.
But this one in front of her felt as if… she could be casual about it; after all, there was someone backing her up.
It didn’t seem like she was looking for a qualified experimenter, but rather an… experimental material.
After all, experimenters wouldn’t have too many self-requirements for an experimental material; they would transform the material themselves into a form that met their needs.
“Well then… let’s leave it at that for now. If you encounter anything you don’t understand, feel free to ask me directly. And if any urgent matters arise, you can leave here first.”
“Are all genuine inquiries acceptable?”
“Mm.” I looked at the witch named Hao and nodded.
These three witches had shown me some basic materials for reference, so I had some fundamental understanding of them.
Including but not limited to personalities, likes, small habits, taboos, and so on.
“Can I try this Primordial Dream? I’ve never felt such a fascinating… intensity, and I feel it would help refine my mental power greatly.” Hao pointed to the area of the Primordial Dream in the center of the laboratory.
“Does it feel familiar?”
“Indeed.” Hao nodded.
“The Witch Meditation Method utilizes the Primordial Dream for mental power refinement, and the essence of the Primordial Dream is also a form of original dream, except that the Primordial Dream is a bit more uncontrollable.”
“What? There’s such a thing?” Hao sounded very surprised, seemingly not aware of this.
Even Mu Li felt the same, “No wonder… I was wondering why the Witch Meditation Method could be practiced in the Primordial Dream.”
After all, many witches categorize the Witch Meditation Method as similar to common meditation techniques, and no one ever traces back to such commonly used things, naturally missing some wonderfully peculiar knowledge.
“Can I try it? Just give me the go-ahead; if it doesn’t work, treat it as if I never asked.” Hao said, directly ignoring Principal Mei’s gaze behind her.
Principal Mei had mentioned before entering that aside from formal experiments, they shouldn’t meddle with the Primordial Dream, as it would only create trouble for Xiao Xi.
However… she couldn’t stop her since Hao was only inquiring for consent, not rushing to try it.
“Of course, you can, but it must be done with my accompaniment. Right now, there aren’t any ongoing dream experiments, so trying a bit is fine.”
“Do I really need your company? Alright~ I understand.”
Having received my consent, Hao’s eager expression was openly displayed on her face.
She picked it up and headed straight for the Primordial Dream.
But as she stepped closer, she suddenly realized something was off…
She hadn’t even reached the Primordial Dream, but the “shallow” dream realm was already exerting mental pressure on her consciousness, close to her limits!
Once she reached the limit, her consciousness could very likely slip into a deep sleep!
Hao didn’t understand how the Primordial Dream functioned in this laboratory. If normal Primordial Dreams were like deep seas, then the laboratory’s Primordial Dream was akin to a shallow sea cliff!
One more step could plunge her rapidly into the deep sea.
The surrounding dream layers might not be deep-rooted original dreams, but they formed an overactive zone of the Primordial Dream.
The pressure on her consciousness was nothing short of tremendous.
After all, I engage with the Primordial Dream in the essence of the soul itself for experiments.
In the next moment, Hao’s body fell straight before the Primordial Dream.
The dragon witch’s physical quality and body strength resonated heavily in the laboratory, echoing a dull thud.
Mu Li and Vanni looked on in shock as Hao collapsed, their expressions changing dramatically.
Then, Hao’s soul essence separated from her body; it was clear she was somewhat unaccustomed to this state.
“Steady yourself; you are now in a state of soul essence within the dream. Do not advance further. That is the Primordial Dream, and if you fall deeper from here, only I can pull you back.”
At that moment, my body was naturally being redirected, grabbing her soul essence.
After all, she seemed unfamiliar with this feeling in the dream, and her soul had unconsciously approached the Primordial Dream.
“I… huh? What’s going on? Am I dead?” Hao was confused, for an Extraordinary Witch’s death, with her soul detached, resembled this very posture.
But this time, her soul didn’t exist in reality; it was in the dream.
