Chapter 1052: Consciousness Cultivation Technique, Success!
After the Union Society at the Witch Academy sounded the horn of revenge, the pressure on the Hundred Academy Alliance suddenly increased.
Faced with such a situation, the three top academies only provided assistance in extraordinary supplies and extraordinary equipment.
As for taking to the field personally?
They did not dare, because that teaching assistant named Yang Yuelan had already returned from the Expanding Realm.
After resolving the issue of soul material damage caused by the blood sacrifice incident, now no one at the Witch Academy dared to touch their deadly edge!
In the words of a wizard, the current Witch Academy is like a mad dog, biting anyone it sees.
The first target of the Witch Academy is to establish a physical passage between the Witch Academy world and the Blood Slave Peninsula to ensure smooth transit.
It should be stated that the academy war is directed at Extraordinary Academies, not aimed at ordinary people.
The ordinary society forms the population foundation of the Main World, and mass slaughtering of ordinary people would cause unimaginable disasters in this region.
Thus, the academy war is a struggle for the interests at the student level; when the academy changes hands, the territory changes hands as well.
The incident regarding the Blood Slave Peninsula was more of an accident; such indiscriminate bloodshed is something all academies condemn.
After this incident, even the extraordinary wizards at the Wizard Academy only belatedly realized that their own students had committed such a thing.
However, as the saying goes, wizards also have their own flexible standards of good and evil and moral bottom lines.
The wizard apprentice who led this matter only symbolically reprimanded a few words and merely imprisoned a wizard. It was clear that this was learned from the Witch Academy.
But it doesn’t matter; the battlefield is a negotiating table that does not abide by reason; here, it is only the truth that matters!
What cannot be gained on the battlefield cannot be obtained through negotiation either.
The main composition of the area between the Witch Academy and the Blood Slave Peninsula consists of Blood Clan-affiliated academies.
As for the Lord Blood Clan Academy, they pride themselves on their noble Blood Clan status, so they naturally do not dare to border the Witch Academy; thus, the affiliated academies have, to some extent, become a natural barrier for the Blood Clan Academy.
There are also some scattered small extraordinary academies in the surrounding areas.
Although there are numerous academies in the world, they can still be traced to some extent.
For example, those related to elves basically belong to the Afu Building system, while the Beast Academy encompasses many small extraordinary academies that originally followed the wizards; once they connected to become the Beast Academy, they no longer listen much to the wizards.
Some races and bloodlines that are mixed, like orcs, Blood Clan, and even dragon blood, are generally associated with wizards.
After all, the most common thing that extraordinary wizards do in the void is invade other worlds to strengthen themselves.
It is not surprising to have other races and clans under their control.
As for some neutrally inclined mermen and dwarves, they follow the Holy Angel race.
With such distinct faction divisions in the Main World, it can be said that the Witch Academy has no allies.
When the Union Society targeted the academies affiliated with the Blood Clan, they discovered many wizarding tactics on the battlefield.
Although the extraordinary system of wizards’ witch weapons cannot be used by others, they can still be operated by others after special modifications.
Not only witch weapons, but also powerful alchemical items styled after wizards also posed great obstacles for the Witch Academy.
Even some potions—madness potions, plague potions, toxic fog potions—kept surfacing.
Although the Witch Academy has many countermeasures against these tactics, they greatly hindered the academy’s progress.
After suffering the blood sacrifice ritual incident, the command of the Union Society became more cautious, and they no longer dared to mobilize large groups.
Otherwise, if they were wiped out again, they would become a complete joke.
Of course, the reason the Union Society cannot mobilize on a large scale is still to guard against the disturbances from the Hundred Academy Alliance.
To further divert the witches’ attacks, other members of the Hundred Academy Alliance also, with the help of “unknown” assistance, continuously harassed the Witch Academy in various places.
In fact, in a more serious incident, one individual slipped into the Magic Capital and used a ranged attack against the protective wall!
Subsequently, this person was directly eliminated by the Wei Ji Team stationed at the academy, and the body was nowhere to be found.
So, such incidents mostly arise because an individual is too insignificant compared to an entire territory; after all, there’s a reason for anti-thief measures.
The other side uses an extraordinary means to hide their form; who can detect such an old trick?
Because of these repeated disturbances, the Union Society’s energy and mind are constrained, making every move feel severely threatened.
This also made them fully understand that opposing the entire world is not something everyone possesses such great goodwill to do.
Unlike the atmosphere of the Union Society.
At this moment, I am enjoying a comfortable life in the Instance Realm. Although I do not manage the matters of the Union Society, Cleveland still reports to me daily on what has happened, which has almost become a habit.
Those trivial matters are neither big nor small, but if they require me to intervene, that would definitely be a case of overkill.
So I have been quite relaxed.
When not improving consciousness cultivation techniques in the Instance Realm, I either go to the training courtyard to discuss the cultivation of wood elementals with the Elder.
By coincidence, the Elder really has experience in cultivating wood elementals, but after learning more about it, I found it was not the kind of cultivation technique I expected.
What I want is a complete graduation from scratch, not to follow the natural reproduction of the wood elemental race.
This cultivation technique, to put it bluntly, is like postpartum care after childbirth; what’s the difference?
However, even though this information isn’t what I expected, it still has a lot of macro-level reference significance.
The exchange between the Elder and me is more about the collision of different ways of thinking. In the Elder’s words, by communicating with me, she too has gained a lot.
As for whether there were real gains or just flattering words to comfort me, that is unknown.
I only know that my current progress is exceptionally smooth.
Consciousness cultivation, this technique that I’ve placed great hopes on, allowing me to step into the realm of consciousness, has finally been perfected!
I watched as the small figure, emitting a faint wood elemental aura, stirred from my palm.
Her bulging eyes carried a newborn-like purity, meeting my gaze.
There was no fear in her eyes, only the unique curiosity that comes with life taking form.
Fear is a natural self-protection that arises in the face of danger; until I perform an action that harms her, she would not know what fear is.
“Ah ah ah~ ah ah! Good sister! Good sister! You finally woke up! Heh… hehehe.”
Ling Yi excitedly watched the “awakened” wood elemental, unable to contain her excitement at that moment and expressing her long-held feelings.
After venting her emotions, Ling Yi revealed a silly smile, reminiscent of a lovestruck fool.
I, a huge existence for the wood elemental, had not yet made a sound to the newborn elemental, yet Ling Yi was all over her.
I disdainfully pulled Ling Yi away.
“Ling Yi, what’s wrong with you? Why are you acting like a pure little loli meeting a pervert skinny big sister?” I didn’t hesitate to roast Ling Yi.
“Hehe… eh? Am I…?” Upon hearing my remark, Ling Yi immediately put away her previous expression, “No way!”
“Then you should tone it down; you scared her.”
“Uh… how is that possible? I don’t want that! I still want to be friends with her!”
“Excessive enthusiasm can scare people, and wood elementals are no exception,” I explained.
I then continued to look at the new wood elemental before me.
Logically speaking, this wood elemental should have been able to speak the language of the Main World since its birth.
Because when I was shaping this life, I also used her consciousness as a medium to instill a piece of “simulated memory,” which originated from the contract template of the Main World language.
Of course, this is not about forcibly modifying or implanting memories.
This is simulated memory, which feels like it can be forgotten, but there is always such a “memory” existing that can be referenced anytime, providing new memory anchors constantly.
When the individual completes the real language-level memory and internalizes these as instincts, this simulated memory will dissipate.
This method draws inspiration from the bloodline memory of ancient water, but it is not entirely bloodline memory.
At this moment, the newly born wood elemental feels fondly about everything and is also very curious about the strange memories that strongly exist in her mind.
“Um… you are… who?” the wood elemental stammered, speaking a line according to her understanding.
“I am the one who gave you life; you can call me Sister Xiao Lian,” I said.
The infant elemental tilted her head, seemingly trying to understand what I just said.
I was not in a hurry, instead, I turned to look at the still excited Ling Yi.
“Hello~ Hi! I’m also a wood elemental, my name is Ling Yi! I’m older than you, so you should call me Sister Ling Yi!” Ling Yi quickly introduced herself, eagerly asserting her “sister” status.
“Ling Yi, don’t be so excited. Speaking of which, the newborn wood elemental doesn’t have a name yet; can you help think of one?” I asked.
Now comes the part that bothers me the most: naming.
I feel my inspiration for naming has been completely drained after naming another elemental “Mengnafu.”
“Eh? Right! I need to name my new sister! What to call her… what to call her…?”
“You don’t know either?” I teased.
“Of course I don’t know!” Ling Yi responded, indignantly, suddenly becoming tough after becoming a “sister.”
“If I were to suggest… how about naming her Ling Er?” I casually proposed with a slight laugh.
Ling Yi, Ling Er… 01, 02…
“Eh? Ling Er? That’s a good name!” Upon hearing my suggestion, Ling Yi immediately thought it sounded lovely and decisively said, “Yay! Sister, you have a name now! I, along with Sister Xiao Lian, will grant you a new name! From now on, you shall be called Ling Er!”
“Ling Er… I am… Ling Er?” At this moment, the newborn wood elemental caught on to the most critical word among all the chatter.
“That’s right, that’s right! You are Ling Er! You shall be called Ling Er! I am Ling Yi; call me Sister Ling Yi~”
“Ling Yi… sister?”
“Yay~ Hahaha! I finally have a sister! And it’s a sister I raised myself! I’m no longer alone!”
Watching Ling Yi and Ling Er, with one exclaiming laughter and the other stammering, I slapped my forehead in embarrassment.
I felt like my awkwardness was about to explode…
Did Ling Yi realize my teasing tone?
However… setting aside Ling Yi for now, the name Ling Er is indeed quite nice.
Just when it comes together… I dare not commend it.
After accompanying Ling Yi for a while in this lively celebration, the newborn Ling Er quickly adapted to the environment here. After all, she is a wood elemental, a darling of nature, with a simple mind and not many worries in her head.
Ling Yi didn’t even notice the strange phenomenon of why Ling Er could speak before her birth.
Wood elementals do not have any race or bloodline memory or other heritage.
Without language as a medium for communication, many wood elementals mostly communicate based on feelings and the interaction with nature’s aura.
Ling Yi only heard Ling Er speak once at the beginning, and after that, there was no more. The kindness among wood elementals does not require excessive words.
After playing around with the two wood elementals, I gifted them both a very practical present.
These were resources gathered from the Dayrock Elf Academy’s distribution, and I had a lot of things piled up in my storage equipment. Some perishable fruits were sealed within to keep fresh.
Let the celebration be for the wood elementals; I prefer a more pragmatic mindset.
After creating the entirely new wood elemental, I have roughly deduced the “consciousness cultivation” technique.
But this is just a single case; I need numerous experiments to continually verify and optimize the consciousness cultivation technique.
So, Ling Yi will soon have several more sisters.
However, compared to the still-need validation “consciousness cultivation” technique, the cultivation technique for wood elementals is relatively more perfected.
Nevertheless, I do not plan to engage in the “Natural Elemental Servant Army Plan” just yet because I have to weigh priorities.
I create consciousness cultivation techniques to gain understanding and then use that understanding to drive the concepts of clan and the imprints of consciousness in reverse.
Everything is preparation for the Fool Dream race.
However, the “by-products” born in this process indeed pique my interest.
It is time to return to the Primordial Dream Laboratory to meet Yu Lan and the others.
After all, having grasped the definition of the Fool Dream bloodline, I should have the ability to awaken them.
Furthermore, they have sacrificed too much and invested too much for the Fool Dream race.
But in fact… I miss the feeling of having the Fool Dream revolve around me. Yu Lan and the others are special, at least they are special to me.
