Chapter 906: The Witch Academy's Sure-Win Situation
"Emotional... Body Cultivation?"
Long said, somewhat dazed.
Although she hadn't truly walked on this path yet, this was already her second time encountering this power.
At this moment, she had only truly touched the power of this path under my guidance.
Just as the rigid threshold for Emotional Body Cultivation was Heart Sense, having Heart Sense didn't mean one could step onto this path.
Only by understanding its essence, or adapting to this power, would one be qualified to harness this path.
Theoretically speaking, Self-awakened Body Cultivation should be more adept at this kind of power.
However, Muli and Fannie hadn't developed and cognized Self-awakened Body Cultivation to my level, so they couldn't naturally walk this path and still needed my forced guidance, just like Long.
"The learning threshold for many systems is actually very low. As long as the rigid threshold is met and one recognizes what it essentially is, the rest will naturally be understood," I said.
Just like what I often say, only after experiencing it can one truly know what it feels like.
That is an experience that ten thousand words cannot describe.
Just like learning to ride a bicycle, fly a broom, or swim for the first time... the so-called inability is just a lack of the first success.
"Does this count as success for me?"
Long was somewhat puzzled.
She seemed to have felt something, yet seemed to have learned nothing.
"That depends on how you understand it. Don't worry about this for now. There are always things that cannot be achieved with urgency. Perhaps when you unintentionally feel something, that experience just now will become the stepping stone for the most critical step, helping you walk onto this path."
"Alright, I'll listen to you," Long said helplessly.
Although she didn't understand what was said before, she understood the last sentence.
This was like an important accumulation.
She often experienced this feeling, like when nearing a breakthrough and lacking the final step, an unintentional inadvertence often became the most critical step.
So she chose to believe in this Little Witch before her.
Of course, she believed more in the other party's sincerity.
"Thank you for your trust. Then let's proceed to the next step. Soul separation is ultimately just a hurdle before the experiment begins."
As I spoke, I began to prepare things, familiarizing myself with the prepared apparatus again along the way.
In the laboratory, Academy Head Mei was somewhat bewildered.
Can sincerity between body cultivators... really resolve any conflict?
Not only Academy Head Mei, but the witches qualified to observe the experiment here were also very curious.
After all, the conflict just now had escalated to talent determinism.
The conflict between the talented and the non-talented wasn't something that could be let go of just by bumping into each other.
Although objectively speaking, the debate on talent determinism is a confusion of the two concepts of talent and effort, in reality, the two are irreconcilable types.
Whether one has talent or not, effort is definitely right.
A talented person who works hard is more powerful than a talented person who doesn't work hard, and the same goes for people without talent.
Comparing this way is the objectively correct solution.
But this certainly cannot satisfy the wishes of those arguing.
Those who get the answer but are unwilling to stop, what kind of people are they?
Naturally, unreasonable people.
So the conflict between effort and talent is actually a fit of pique between arrogance and arrogance.
The correct solution is to look past the problem, then laugh at the arrogant people arguing there while continuing to work hard oneself.
Because effort is definitely correct and won't lose meaning because of a lack of talent.
"Mm, you can return to your bodies first, then lie on the recliners prepared for your bodies. Our next experiment will begin in the form of souls," I said.
After all, this was a formal experiment, I couldn't just let them lean against the laboratory wall, right?
Besides, preparing some apparatus wasn't difficult for the laboratory.
The three witches had no objections and did as I said.
After lying on the experimental recliners, their souls separated again.
This time it was much faster than the previous attempts.
After all, with the first time, the second time came quickly, only Long struggled slightly.
Of course, there was another possibility.
The body cultivation power system that completely relied not on talent made the connection between her life essence and body tighter.
This might also be one of the reasons why Long found it difficult to detach her soul essence from her body.
"What should we do next?"
"Go, enter directly into the Primal Dream State, which is there."
I pointed to that special area in the core area of the laboratory.
That was the local area where the controllable Primal Dream State descended, and also the entrance to the Primal Dream State dominated by my domain order.
"Just go in directly?"
"Yes, very directly, just like just now, the soul detaches from the body. And this step is to adapt to the environment. After all, the Primal Dream State is where the Dream State Domain exerts its power."
"You can experience it. The Primal Dream State is essentially very dangerous. Even for witches walking on the Great Project of the Soul, exploring the Primal Dream State is full of dangers. You can also feel it, and then answer what dangers are in the Primal Dream State."
"Mental oppression."
This was what Long said.
She had experienced her body approaching the Primal Dream State.
Although she didn't succeed, she had experienced the feeling of her soul being oppressed and finally forced to sink into the Primal Dream State.
"Correct, it's mental oppression. Comparing the Primal Dream State to an ocean, then this deep-level mental oppression is like powerful water pressure. But this is not the only danger. People or witches entering the Primal Dream State for the first time will ignore many dangers, and those ignored dangers are the biggest ones."
I recalled entering the Primal Dream State in the Expansion Realm back then.
That shielding of cognition made one involuntarily drawn into the Dream State world, thereby forgetting some things, such as things to do, specific memories from the past, the way back, or even... who I am!
The more forgotten, the closer to "lost".
Perhaps you seem to be still in the same place, but you have already sunk into a deeper level of the Dream State, forgetting who you are.
"Besides mental oppression, there are other dangers in the Primal Dream State, such as... Dream State creatures. They will instinctively weave some Dream States for you to sink into, or intrude into an absurd world shaped by information in the Primal Dream State. These are all dangers."
"Are there really Dream State creatures in the Primal Dream State?"
"Yes, but this area of the laboratory is almost cleared," I explained.
After all, to maintain the stability of this experimental Primal Dream State, my Dream State Domain order had deterred the Dream State creatures away.
Also... captured by me for experiments on Dream-state Soul-substance.
"If you want to see one, I don't mind releasing one for you to play with."
After all, my Constant Dream Cultivation Room had a large number of "captive" Dream State creatures, mainly for collecting Nightmares, plus experiments on converting Dream State creatures into soul-substance, etc.
"Do you mean those Fool's Dreams? Speaking of which, we didn't seem to see those little cuties this time when we came," Muli said.
"Fool's Dreams... they are a group of very special Dream State creatures and cannot be confused with general Dream State creatures. Of course, you can understand this as my willfulness. Now they are undergoing a very important experiment."
"Do you use those Fool's Dreams for experiments?"
"......You can think so."
I was silent for a moment, then nodded and said.
I didn't want to argue that I did it for the Fool's Dream to become true life, because no amount of words would be as convincing as the moment of my success.
This topic also ended here.
They also felt that now was not the time for play.
They needed to familiarize themselves with their own power in the Primal Dream State and adapt to the environment of the Primal Dream State.
The soul essences of the three witches seemed very crowded in the Primal Dream State area within the laboratory.
But to expand the size of the Primal Dream State, a larger Dream State overlap buffer zone was needed.
This would affect other experimental teams in the experimental area.
The previous expansion of the Primal Dream State was coordinated by the Academy Head.
Either pay attention to the impact brought by the Dream State overlap, or adjust the location of the laboratory, but not all experimental teams and equipment in the laboratories could be moved.
Even some unconventional experimental teams conducting lucky rituals and other strange means could not be coordinated.
After all, many experimental teams had been driven somewhat obsessed by experiments.
Believing in metaphysics before doing things, or even some very superstitious things, was already considered common.
If you really asked, they would start with mysticism as a foundation, talking in endless sets.
Even the Academy Head couldn't do anything about them.
So I had to let them suffer a bit.
Actually, I could also take them directly into the deeper Primal Dream State to perform, but the Academy Head still felt it was somewhat dangerous.
Out of consideration in this aspect, this approach was finally abandoned.
After all, the last time I took Big Sis Bai into the deep Primal Dream State, it caused a Dream State overlap that swept through half of the Witch Academy, and this was the result of my utmost efforts to stop the counter-charge.
So, to avoid unnecessary accidents, I compromised.
After all... the uncomfortable ones weren't me, but these three body cultivator witches.
"Perceive information with Heart Sense, interface with the Dream State through the channels of the five senses..."
I spoke while they listened.
Some professional terms, as well as the meanings of proper nouns defined by myself, had all been annotated in the previous theoretical materials.
If they didn't understand, it must be because they didn't read carefully, but obviously, their memory was quite good.
You know, generally, Seed of Great Knowledge that hasn't undergone Dream State structural analysis cannot take effect in the Dream State.
At this moment in the Dream State, they could feel that this power still existed, but just couldn't use it.
This was because in the Dream State, there was no foundation for casting and effecting reality spells.
That they could memorize all the theoretical knowledge I mentioned was indeed beyond my expectations.
And I had to admit one point... they were really more amazing than Big Sis Bai.
Even though they were not on the path related to the Great Project of the Soul, their understanding and cognition of body cultivation and Heart Sense far exceeded Big Sis Bai.
And the only advantage Big Sis Bai had over them now was... Time Sense.
Time Sense endowed Big Sis Bai with the ability to dominate herself, dominating the self on the level of understanding.
So on the starting path, Big Sis Bai had one more layer of "domination" order than them.
But no matter what, these were "characteristics" displayed by the order after shaping it.
But the most important thing in the Dream State Domain was to shape a self-controlled order, followed by what the characteristics of the order could achieve.
I understood very well what the Academy Head hoped they would master at this moment.
She hoped they would master the Dream State Order, so as to trigger the counter-charge between the chaotic order of the Primal Dream State and the individual order, thereby triggering the Dream State Calamity, a secondary disaster that could affect reality.
As for the characteristics of the order, they were more means of development and utilization in the aspect of the Primal Dream State.
This indeed couldn't be used for combat, nor could it provide combat power, but it was a stage that must be passed to develop the Primal Dream State.
Just like the derivation process of E=mc² cannot take anyone's life, but the atomic bomb can.
The experiment of the Dream State Domain is a long process, but no matter how long this process is, there are still people willing to wait.
If these three witches complete the Dream State Domain, even if it's just an order prototype inferior to Bai Yu's, it proves the correctness of this path!
With this, the Witch Academy will possess five powerful witches at the strategic level.
And how to use this move?
Of course, to defeat the enemy with one unexpected move!
The moment the Umbilicus Mundi is found will be the day the Dream State Calamity descends on the entire Core Realm!
And other Transcendent Academies simply cannot stop it!
Even if the fish dies and the net breaks, there is the Great Weakening Spell to delay time for this move.
It can be said that from this moment, the witches have already grasped the chips for final victory, only now lacking a key piece of information, resulting in the inability to play with open cards.
In Mei Linde's view, once I mastered this ability, the prototype of this plan formed in her mind.
When Big Sis Bai also succeeded, her plan was already initially perfected.
If these three also succeeded completely, then she would have no scruples!
She!
Mei Linde!
Had never fought such a rich battle!
Sure enough, crushing by means surpasses a thousand years of layout and probing.
There was no moment that made her feel her sacrifice of the Grand Spellbook back then was worth it.
At least a big gamble a thousand years ago exchanged for "peace", and at this stage, it became the final insurance of their plan.
"Bai Yu, I didn't expect you to come too."
Mei Linde's clone saw Bai Yu coming in silently and was somewhat surprised.
"Shouldn't I come? It seems I'm still late. Little Han's experiment has already begun."
"Currently you can be considered a senior to those three in the Dream State Domain, right? When the time comes, do you have any advice?"
Mei Linde asked jokingly.
"I'd better not show off this bit of superiority."
Bai Yu looked at these three witches.
Their talent made even Bai Yu feel envious, but this also made her determined to speed up her pace.
"I have already completed the architecture of the Dream State Order, but haven't shaped a complete domain until now. But they are different... with the help of Self-awakened Body Cultivation, once they reach my level, they will quickly surpass me."
"You actually don't need to belittle yourself so much, right?"
"No, I'm just learning from Little Han to maintain humility, fully recognizing my own deficiencies, but not immersing in comparison with others, nor forgetting my own advantages."
"Tsk How did Little Han lead you astray? But... this statement seems quite interesting too."
