Chapter 893: Precautions for the Laboratory
When the three witches saw who Mei Linde was speaking to, they were instantly stunned.
After all, they had thought about it countless times before, but they never expected that the girl called “Yang Yuehan” was actually a Lesser Witch who wasn't even a Transcendent witch!
And Muli, whose mind was the most active, also thought of a possibility after her initial shock.
After all, a Lesser Witch could also be a Transcendent witch who had “sought her own death” and then fell from the Transcendent stage.
If she was the kind of crazy academic witch who dared to experiment on herself, it was really possible that she had caused herself to fall from the Transcendent stage because of some experiment.
After all, not long ago, they had just learned that the girl in front of them had killed dozens of Transcendents from other races because of an experiment.
However, this idea of Muli's was quickly shattered by the following response.
“Hello, three big sisters, please come in.”
I saw the Academy Head personally leading the three witches in, so I naturally welcomed them.
In the laboratory, several other witches also poked their heads out curiously to see what was happening; they were basically witches who were conducting routine expansion experiments on the Primal Dream State here.
“……Calling me sister… uh… really a Lesser Witch?”
Muli also quickly felt the contract certification for that Honorary Lesser Witch.
“I'm really sorry, I didn't tell you directly before, and I didn't think you would misunderstand, but right now I indeed haven't ascended to Transcendent yet.”
I also took the chance while they were coming in to slightly explain the previous misunderstanding to them.
However, while they were shocked at this moment, they also felt a trace of something being off.
Because… although this Lesser Witch in front of them wasn't a Transcendent yet, when those eyes looked at them, they instinctively felt a trace of something being wrong.
They all had minor studies in Five Senses Body Cultivation, otherwise they wouldn't have awakened their sixth sense so easily, but precisely because of this, they could more easily feel the terror in that gaze.
It was as if…… they had their essence seen through with just one glance.
Of course, while focusing on those eyes, they also noticed that feeling originating from Heart Sense Resonance.
The Lesser Witch in front of them was also a Sixth Sense Body Cultivator!
Although the fact that the other party wasn't a Transcendent witch surprised them slightly, being fellow body cultivators still gave them a slight sense of identification as being of the same kind.
But in their view, this Lesser Witch's physical constitution also seemed a bit weak; she hadn't developed her physical strength to the limit!
“This is our Original Dream State laboratory. The very center area of the entire laboratory is a controllable Original Dream State. Currently, the laboratory operates under a cooperation model with multiple experimental projects and research topics, so witches from other experimental groups often appear in the laboratory……”
I gave them a tour while explaining, mainly to help them get familiar with the situation here, and also to inform them in advance where they could go and where they couldn't.
“Hmm? This is…”
While Long was curiously looking around at the things in the laboratory, she saw a Fool's Dream.
Her hand, which she had subconsciously reached out, froze for a moment because she recalled the lesson from just before entering the door.
“They are Fool's Dreams. There are four Fool's Dreams in this laboratory. You can treat them as dream creatures. They also have bodies I created for them to act in reality. They are a group of very cute little fellows.”
“They really are very cute.”
Muli looked at the appearance of the Fool's Dream and felt like her eyes were about to glow!
“I hope you won't treat them as pets; they are my most important assistants in my experiments. Of course, if you really like these little fellows, you can try going to the Witch Cat Cafe; there are also Fool's Dreams working there.”
“These little fellows are at the Witch Cat Cafe too?”
“Yes.”
“Then it seems it's necessary for me to go and experience it.”
“Let's get back to the main topic.”
I said, “Basically, these are all Constant Dream State Storage Rooms, divided into reality equipment storage and dream specimen collection……”
After taking them for a rough tour of the laboratory, we returned to where we started.
“Because the research topics I study are categorized quite singularly, the laboratory looks rather simple.”
“It's not simple at all; I feel like this place is like a small maze, much more winding than the villa I'm staying in.”
“A laboratory is just like this; it's designed to achieve the maximum degree of non-interference between different zones through its architectural structure.”
I explained with a smile:
“Anyway, the situation of the laboratory is roughly like this. I think you should be very focused on what you care about most, which is the experiments related to the Dream Domain.”
Mentioning this matter, the three witches instantly became energized.
After all, while visiting the laboratory just now, they had felt a bit bored once their excitement faded.
“Based on this experiment, I have first simply divided it into four stages. The first stage is the theoretical stage. Before the experiment begins, you will learn some necessary concepts to prepare you with a full understanding.”
“The second stage is the adaptation stage. This stage is when the official experiment begins. The Original Dream State is an environment you have never encountered before and you need to adapt to it. You can understand it as being similar to when you first encountered body cultivation, honing your own adaptability in harsh environments.”
“The third stage is the official critical stage. It's about fully utilizing your body cultivation power and methods to establish a preliminary self-order within the Original Dream State, achieving the foundation for a Dream Domain.”
“Is this stage…… about the same as a general Saint Stage condensing a domain?”
At this moment, Muli asked.
“Maybe, but it should be about the same.”
“Should?”
Muli was a bit puzzled.
“Xiao Han isn't a Saint Stage Transcendent yet; using ‘should’ is not wrong.”
At this time, Fannie, whose presence was very low, spoke up to remind her.
“Oh, I almost forgot.”
“It's okay, that's more or less what I meant. I haven't experienced the feeling of the Saint Stage condensing a domain, so naturally I wouldn't dare to assert anything. However, saying this is actually not without basis.”
As I spoke, several pieces of Knowledge Power appeared in my hand.
“Power of Order?”
Fannie and Muli both instantly sensed that aura belonging exclusively to Domain Order.
So their tone was filled with shock!
“Right, I haven't ascended to Transcendent yet, but even so, I still have a Domain Prototype. Don't forget I'm a body cultivator; a Mental Realm Domain Prototype derived from Heart Sense is very simple.”
“I almost forgot again…”
Muli slapped her forehead, always feeling that these past few days she had seen too many things in this Lesser Witch called Yang Yuehan that she had never seen before.
“A Mental Realm Domain doesn't seem to be like this, does it? Even though I'm very clear that every witch's mental state is different, it shouldn't be that different.”
Fannie said.
“Correct, my domain is not just a Mental Realm Domain, but also a composite order composed of other concepts. Let's not talk about these anymore. After all… I only said these things hoping you can believe in my professionalism. This experiment requires your cooperation. If you have doubts in your hearts because of certain things, it won't be good for our cooperation.”
“What are you saying? How could we doubt you? If that were really the case, we wouldn't keep it inside; we'd just ask directly. After all, if you can't convince us, we have the right to leave and withdraw from the experiment at any time.”
Long said very sincerely at this moment.
“Thank you for your trust.”
I looked at them and said with a smile.
I had to say that talking to this group of body cultivator witches was very straightforward; they asked questions if they had them and didn't keep them inside.
“Speaking of the fourth stage I hadn't finished earlier, the fourth stage is the final perfection stage. This step is somewhat difficult and depends on the situation.”
After all, my Big Sis Bai has still not completely perfected her Dream Domain even now, and still can't get rid of the “prototype” suffix.
“I know what you primarily came here for this time. I have already more or less organized the theoretical issues related to the Dream Domain experiments.”
As I spoke, three runes condensed from the Great Knowledge Sharing Technique appeared in my hand.
“Take this, you can directly use the Seed of Great Knowledge to complete the acceptance of the materials. I see you all seem to have completed the consciousness symbiosis with the Seed of Great Knowledge, so it should be no problem, right?”
I asked.
“Of course it's no problem.”
Muli was the first to speak.
Over the past two days, she had indeed been busy with this Seed of Great Knowledge.
Since it was power related to a Grand Spellbook, she was naturally curious about what it was.
And under the teaching of other witches, she was also gradually becoming familiar with this strange operation.
And what made her value this seed even more was the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell of the Seed of Great Knowledge!
Who could know how high the value was of having an appraisal spell that could let you know the specific information of surface-level things at any time in life!
“Inside this is a detailed summary of precautions I have compiled. If you don't want to read such long and complex text, you can directly pour it into the Seed of Great Knowledge to memorize it for you; at least this way, at critical moments, you can access the corresponding information through the Seed of Great Knowledge at any time.”
“In addition, inside are also the related insights summarized by Big Sis Bai… well, the first witch to attempt to dominate a Dream Domain through body cultivation. I hope you will take a look at them; they will have a great promotional effect on your progress.”
“Mm, okay.”
Muli froze for a moment and then nodded.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that when the Lesser Witch in front of her said these things, it was in a polite tone of request.
Generally speaking, if they were cooperating with an experiment and the materials were issued, they might be expected to memorize these materials until they were fluent with every single point.
But the one in front of her gave her the feeling like… you do as you please, she'll have your back anyway.
This didn't seem like looking for a qualified experimenter, but rather… experimental material.
After all, an experimenter wouldn't have too many autonomous requirements for a piece of experimental material; they would manually turn the material into the form that matched their requirements themselves.
“Then… let's leave it at this for now. If you encounter anything you don't understand, you can ask me directly. If you still have urgent matters, you can also leave here first.”
“Can we really ask about anything?”
“Yes.”
I looked at this witch called Long and nodded.
As for these three body cultivator witches, the Academy Head had given me some basic information to look at, so I also had some basic understanding of them.
Including but not limited to some personalities, hobbies, small habits, taboos, and so on.
“Can I try this Original Dream State? This is the first time I've sensed such a magical… power. I feel like it will be very helpful for honing my mental power.”
Long pointed at that terrifying piece of Original Dream State in the center of the laboratory and said.
“Does it feel very familiar?”
“Indeed.”
Long nodded and said.
“The Witch Meditation Method uses the Primal Dream State to hone mental power. The essence of the Primal Dream State is also the Original Dream State, it's just that the Original Dream State is a bit more uncontrollable.”
“What? There's such a thing?”
Long was very surprised to hear this; it seemed she really didn't know.
Even Muli was the same, “No wonder… I was wondering why the Witch Meditation Method could also be practiced within the Primal Dream State.”
After all, for the Witch Meditation Method, many witches classified it as being the same as general meditation methods.
No one would trace the origin of some commonly used things, so naturally they wouldn't know some very wonderful small pieces of knowledge.
“Then can I go and try? Just give me an okay; if not, then act like I didn't say anything.”
Long said, directly ignoring the gaze of Academy Head Mei behind her.
Academy Head Mei had said before coming in not to touch the Original Dream State except for official experiments, as it was basically just adding trouble for Xiao Han.
However… she couldn't easily stop her either, because Long was currently only asking for consent and hadn't rashly gone to try it.
“You can, naturally you can, but it must be done under my accompaniment. Right now there are just happen to be no dream experiments ongoing, so trying it is naturally fine.”
“Do I need your accompaniment? Okay understood, understood.”
Long received my consent, and her eager expression was hung on her face without any disguise as she went directly toward the Original Dream State.
And as she went over step by step, she suddenly discovered something was wrong…
She clearly hadn't touched the Original Dream State yet, but the pressure of the “shallow layer” dream on her spirit and consciousness was nearly reaching her limit!
And as soon as she reached the limit, her consciousness would most likely fall into a deep sleep!
Long naturally didn't understand the rules of the Original Dream State in this laboratory.
If one treated a general Original Dream State as the deep sea, then the Original Dream State of this laboratory was a shallow sea cliff!
Taking one step forward would cause one to quickly fall into the deep sea.
Don't look at the surrounding dream overlaps as not being deep-level Original Dream States; they were actually the transition areas of the Original Dream State.
The pressure this placed on the consciousness could not be said to be small.
Even when I contacted the Original Dream State, it was done in the state of my soul essence to conduct experiments.
The next moment, Long's body fell straight down in front of the Original Dream State.
The physical quality and body strength of the dragon witch made a dull thud when she fell in the laboratory.
And Muli as well as Fannie also looked at the fallen Long with shocked expressions, their faces instantly becoming interesting.
Afterward, Long's soul essence separated from her body.
It was obvious she was still a bit unaccustomed to this state.
“Steady yourself, you are currently in your soul essence state within the dream, don't step forward anymore. That is the Original Dream State. If you fall to a deeper level through here, only I can fish you back.”
I stepped forward now, my body was naturally taken over by my avatar, and my soul essence grabbed Long.
After all, she seemed somewhat unfamiliar with the feeling within the dream, and her soul body was unconsciously approaching the Original Dream State.
“I… uh? This is… what? I'm dead?”
Long was puzzled, after all, when a Transcendent witch died, the soul separating from the shell was in this state.
It was just that this time, her soul no longer existed in reality, but was within a dream.
