Free Web NovelChapter 796: The Hardships of Advancing to Transcendent
“Damn it… what on earth is happening?”
Suddenly feeling a terrifying sensation of palpitations, everyone couldn't help but shudder.
The members of the Hawthorne Family responsible for the persuasion in the front had spoken until their mouths were dry, but upon seeing this strange transformation, they were instantly scared into bolting.
Just now, they had clearly seen that this fellow could no longer hold out, as her entire person was kneeling on the ground.
No one expected why such a thing would suddenly happen!
“Could it be… damn it, is she trying to take us all down with her!”
Accompanied by someone’s roar, this sentence instantly scared the crowd into running even faster.
Facing such a display, even the people from the Security Bureau began to beat a retreat.
The fear of death is a behavior carved into the instincts of life; no one is an exception.
And I, watching April’s current state from the side, excitedly grabbed Big Sis Bai’s hand and said:
“It’s a success! Big Sis Bai, it’s really a success! With the Ordinary Project as the foundation, the life level surges to touch True Time, beginning to complete the witch racial concept, hatching the witch bloodline and Self-generating Magic Power……”
I was so excited I was almost incoherent, but this was my first time seeing a life advance to Transcendent so intuitively.
That scene of the Earth Vein Chains making way all at once made me even more certain that the so-called crux derived from the Earth Vein Chains is the primary cause obstructing the advancement to Transcendent!
And what I cared about even more was actually that way of using a project as the foundation.
The Ordinary Project is a sub-project under the Great Project of the Soul.
April’s interpretation of it is the ordinary life and ordinary love that she herself craves.
Or rather, this is a pursuit.
After breaking through existing cognition and embracing a brand new world, it is a kind of re-“gestation” of the self, giving oneself a second life and nurturing the child within one’s heart.
This approach is somewhat similar to what I did in the dream state.
But… clearly the technique I used was very crude.
But April certainly would not be so.
She would continuously perfect this pursuit with the true essence of the ordinary as she understands it.
As for what kind of ability this foundation of an ordinary soul would be shaped into, even I wasn't quite sure.
Just like Big Sis Bai’s Ordinary Project…
Big Sis Bai did not give much of an explanation.
She only said twelve words: “Living in the ordinary, experiencing the ordinary, accepting the ordinary.”
Big Sis Bai came from an ordinary society.
Through nearly ten years of academy life, she experienced the ordinariness of chasing after Transcendents, experienced the ordinariness of common people in society, experienced the ordinariness of evil-doers in the Expansion Realm, experienced her own ordinariness in life, and faced the ordinariness of emotions in love…… finally accepting her own ordinariness.
It can be said that Big Sis Bai and April both have their own perspective’s understanding and interpretation of the ordinary.
A project is like a certain aspect of the essence of the Transcendent.
Through whatever way you understand it, it responds to you in that way.
And no matter what project everyone chooses, they will all return to the most primal Witch Project.
The Great Witch Project is not a project that needs to be actively delved into.
When the first Magic Power Source is stuffed into the body, bringing the initial Witchification to a life, the seed of the Great Witch Project is imprinted into the life essence along with it.
The formation of the witch racial concept and bloodline information is like Witchification, passively guiding the life toward evolving into a Transcendent Witch.
The Great Witch Project is like a “mold,” while a life that has not advanced to Transcendent is like an initial embryo waiting to take shape.
Life level and life essence are two different things.
The Great Witch Project endows the life level with meaning after reaching Transcendent, allowing it to transform into a true witch, letting the witch racial concept and bloodline information influence the definition of life through the True Time of the Transcendent.
The Great Project of the Soul endows life essence with the meaning of metamorphosis.
It transforms soul-substance into soul, allowing the concept of its life to receive a new interpretation, and endows it with blessings from the dream state.
But… such a process needs to continue for a long time.
When the Frozen World slipped down from April’s right hand, I understood that it was time for me to make my appearance.
April, advancing to Transcendent Witch, was undoubtedly at her most fragile time.
At least for the current April, after this bout of tossing, her body and spirit were no longer able to deal with external distractions.
“Quick, stop her! Don’t let her succeed!”
“Quick, open fire! Shoot! Fast!”
“Switch to Transcendent bullets! That fellow has come out of that space!”
Instantly, the scene fell into a mess.
People fleeing were constantly escaping from here, while the people in charge of directing were still obsessed with the death orders issued by the family.
To them, the April before their eyes was already a prize in their pocket.
They would not allow the scene to lose control at such a critical moment.
To this end, even if it meant using Transcendent bullets to kill April on the spot, they didn't care.
They only needed to get that thing held in April’s hand, and that would be enough!
Holding such a mindset, they roared to stabilize everyone’s minds, making them continuously produce fire to suppress the fear of the unknown in their hearts.
But in the next moment, they only felt the environment around them change abruptly.
An invisible pressure descended upon their bodies.
The firearms in their hands that were constantly spitting out bullets seemed to have a pause button pressed in an instant; the violent and continuous vibrations of the firearms also came to a screeching halt.
They saw a scene that was utterly shocking for their entire lives!
The muzzle flashes of the firearms in their hands seemed solidified.
The bullets coming out of the muzzles were surrounded by golden special patterns, stagnated in the air, unable to move forward an inch.
And their target of fire—there, a phantom of a giant tree that could not be described with language was continuously stretching its branches.
A silhouette stood directly in front of that tree, as if declaring she was the owner of this tree.
That silhouette merely gave a light wave of her hand, and countless golden symbols submerged those shot-out bullets like a tide.
Along with the firearms in their hands, they were subjected to an irresistible force, snatched forcibly from their hands.
In the next moment, all the firearms became a pile of scrap metal under absolute violence.
Subsequently, a clear sound echoed in everyone’s ears, forcing them to understand the meaning of the words.
“I will only warn you once. All ordinary people, disperse. All people from the Security Bureau, get out too. This place has been taken over by me. Disregard this at your own peril!”
At this moment, I was holding the Book in the Casket, driving Knowledge Power to disarm everyone in the most violent way.
I have to say, sometimes violence is truly very convenient.
Especially the Security Bureau that I specifically named; at this moment, they couldn't care less about destroyed weapons or anything.
They only knew that they couldn't afford to provoke this person before them.
The other party was definitely an enrolled student with extremely powerful strength, or even at the level of a Wizard Tower Keeper!
Their Security Bureau was just a place for graduated students to retire.
For that bit of money every month, why risk their lives for this kind of thing?
“Don’t run! Damn it… you useless lot, can’t you see this person isn't from the Wizard Academy!”
At this moment, the person from the Hawthorne Family looked at the retreating Security Bureau and instantly began to curse.
But even so, it was to no avail.
“Lady, we should have no grievances or enmity with you, right? People from the Wizard Academy will be here soon. Are you sure you want to oppose the entire Wizard Academy!”
“Heh heh…”
I looked at that person who stood up firmly amidst the pressure of my domain to question me and even dared to threaten me, only letting out a cold laugh.
“I’ve changed my mind. People from the Security Bureau and the Hawthorne Family, you all just stay here obediently!”
After saying that, the Knowledge Power within the domain rioted once more.
Its transformed Annotation Technique directly blocked everyone’s movements.
For a moment, the people from the Security Bureau wanted to curse the Hawthorne Family’s pig teammates to death!
Clearly, they could have left this place of trouble immediately!
But how these people thought, I didn't care.
It was just that that fellow just now made me realize that my showing up this time wasn't to look cool, but to stall for time.
I couldn't let them go out to notify the Wizard Academy.
So after blocking all of them, I also expanded the range of the domain to a further distance, implementing an information blockade!
This way, whether the other party used phones, alchemical items, sorcery tools, or even Transcendent items, they would be unable to send information to the outside world.
Any information is a manifestation of data.
Even for the earth veins, I had the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell performing real-time data filtering.
Although I couldn't achieve data interception at the earth vein level yet, I could perform physical interception.
Powerful Transcendent power can interfere with and destroy Earth Vein information; this is one of the simplest methods to clean Earth Vein data.
And what achieved all this spatial blockade was naturally the Annotation Technique transformed from Knowledge Power.
The compatibility of the Annotation Technique is terrifying.
It can be compatible with sealing sorcery to achieve an annotated seal; it can transform into dream runes to conduct special resonance techniques and complete dream overlap; it can carry other powers as a key component within the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree to perfect the power network……
But now was not the time to care about these trivial details.
After ignoring those people in the domain, I also incidentally gave everyone a silence; otherwise, the noise would affect my experience.
I turned sideways to look at April, who was already in no mood to care about anything external.
At this time, she was like someone fallen into a permanent hibernation.
Only that surging life level was knocking on the door of the Transcendent world again and again.
Even I wasn't clear whether she had failed or not.
“She is using the power of the project as a foundation to structure her own life level so that it can stably touch True Time,” Big Sis Bai explained to me from the side.
After all, she was a witch who had experienced it, so she naturally knew this process.
However, Big Sis Bai was still in an ordinary state.
No one except me could see her.
After all, Big Sis Bai was a Transcendent Witch.
Unless necessary, it was best not to show her face, or it would cause unnecessary trouble.
“I understand…”
Listening to Big Sis Bai’s narration, I also nodded, because I truly did understand.
Only when the Transcendent level touches True Time can the Transcendent Witch racial concept truly be completed.
Because the foundation of a Transcendent Witch is Transcendent; only by touching True Time can one structure and perfect a complete witch racial concept.
Because April’s current state was simply too poor, at this moment, rather than saying she was advancing to Transcendent, it was more like she was attempting to advance under my assistance.
Her entire person gradually transformed into a massive cocoon, carried upon my domain’s Great Tree of Knowledge.
Such an excellent observation opportunity was naturally something I single-handedly facilitated.
With the help of the Great Tree of Knowledge, I could acquire more data without disturbing April’s advancement to Transcendent.
Of course, this cocoon April turned into is called a “Witch's Cocoon.”
It is an advancement cocoon transformed from the life level, and it is also the “cradle” for April to reshape her body and achieve a Transcendent body once she advances to Transcendent and her life level reaches the Transcendent stage.
Of course, this was also facilitated by me.
Advancing to Transcendent can be divided into many stages.
There is no need to reshape and obtain a Transcendent body using a Witch's Cocoon at the very moment the life level advances; it can also be done through a subtle transformation of the life level.
But neither can be said to be good or bad; they are just different ways.
But I naturally had to consider myself.
In order to witness more processes I had never seen before, I chose this way.
These were all things far beyond what I could achieve myself, yet April was displaying them completely before me.
This kind of intuitive observation and the feelings it brought were a miraculous experience that the words in books could not describe even if written a thousand or ten thousand times.
I watched the data currently recorded by the Great Tree of Knowledge.
April’s life level, which was near True Time, constantly touched the Transcendent boundary.
This process was like a newborn life thumping its heart, knocking on the door of life, announcing its arrival.
The perfection of the witch racial concept, the gestation of a newborn witch, the inscription of the racial bloodline… the continuous perfection of these processes was the birth of a newborn life, and even more so, the ritual of advancing to Transcendent Witch.
April’s consciousness seemed submerged in the power woven by her own project.
Perhaps there, she would personally shatter her past life, grow herself up again in her own way, and clearly feel the fulfillment and satisfaction brought by an ordinary life, because this was a craved object she had never experienced.
But these more symbolic and abstract things were already a trial only April herself could face.
What I cared more about was the process of advancement itself.
The Transcendent boundary seemed to be only a layer of boundary, the only benchmark to measure the life level.
After all, this world only has False Time and True Time.
Although I cannot touch True Time, the Main World’s blessing, “Spirit Vision,” allows me to catch a glimpse of the elegance of True Time in advance.
And the reason why advancing to Transcendent Witch is so complex… is primarily the reshaping of the racial concept at the moment of advancing to Transcendent.
After all, Transcendent is Transcendent.
It relies on the life level touching True Time, and the life level also needs to use the racial concept and bloodline information to balance the concept of life with the existence of the physical body.
It can be said that advancing to Transcendent is an exquisite chain reaction.
The racial concept carried by the life level defines the racial existence, the bloodline information defines the physical composition, as well as the information compiled by the race upon it, and so on.
The life level measures the “thickness” of the life essence from another dimension.
They all complete the integration of life at that single opportunity of advancing to Transcendent, when the life essence touches True Time!
Structuring upon the Transcendent with the Transcendent racial concept, life breaks free from the world's operating mechanism, letting life truly be held in life's own hands.
This is the ritual of advancing to Transcendent.
Therefore, advancing to Transcendent is not without a threshold, nor is it without difficulty, and it is certainly not something that happens naturally without doing anything.
Every hardship in achieving advancement needs to be overcome by oneself.
It’s just that everyone’s path is different…
And the Earth Vein Chains are the first threshold of cognition.
Only by crossing the threshold of cognition is one qualified to touch higher fields.
While I was thus submerged in the enlightenment of the advancement ritual, those students from the Wizard Academy also arrived tardily.
They were the students prepared to come for the final wrap-up.
Even they hadn't imagined what they were about to face next.
“More new small fries have come in… how annoying…”
When those wizard apprentices crossed the boundary of my domain and intruded into my perception range, I also felt them at the first moment.
