Chapter 644: This Semester's Cultivation Plan

After fulfilling the first five contracts, I began to plan what I wanted to do.

For example, the Mutated Beast I encountered earlier had no specific name, mainly because the original Ninglan New City didn't explore too far, resulting in no excessive name records or definitions for distant Mutated Beasts.

However, acquiring the body information of these Mutated Beasts seemed much more difficult than I had anticipated, even though it was a very ordinary race with a very ordinary bloodline.

The main issue was the sudden diversity caused by "mutation."

And I also seemed to somewhat understand why Ninglan New City was so frequently besieged by Mutated Beasts in the past.

It was because of the Earth Vein fissure.

After their death, their Soul-substance returned to the Earth Vein cycle.

Although they didn't understand what the Earth Vein or Soul-substance was, an idea originating from the instinct of life urged them to do this.

Should I be thankful for the miraculous nature of the Earth Vein fissures in the Expansion Realm?

Ninglan New City was the only place with a massive Earth Vein fissure, large enough to shelter the last embers of humanity.

Other places in the Expansion Realm also had tiny fissures at the Earth Vein Convergence Points, but they couldn't create a miracle like Ninglan New City; they would only become the final burial grounds for Mutated Beasts.

In that Mutated Beast's "memory," I learned about the route of its pack's migration.

Those Mutated Beasts always passed through some fixed places.

Those were the places where old or dying Mutated Beasts would consciously go.

This information was not without value; at least it indicated that such places were also very suitable for shaping new "Earth Vein Convergence Points."

What were such places suitable for?

Planting trees, of course!

Planting the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree!

And one place in the memory coincided with a place I had been to: the currently so-called second large Shelter.

Look at how lush the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree grew there, and how far its root network spread!

And now.

A Mutated Beast was at this moment embarking on its journey home.

I felt the clone of that Mutated Beast.

Currently, what drove its actions was the resurrected body's instinct, and its behavioral principle was my subconsciousness as the leading thought.

Perhaps I had been overcomplicating things from the start.

What was a clone for?

Was I using it to fight for me?

Did it have to be exactly like me?

Did I have to have complete control over it?

This Mutated Beast clone gave me the answer.

Not necessarily.

The action instinct, daily habits, and racial characteristics of this Mutated Beast were all based on the body instinct endowed by the Reincarnation Spell.

However, all its subjective behavioral principles were guided by me.

It died once and lived again.

It was no longer itself but was gradually becoming a puppet influenced by my will.

It was alive, and even its subjective consciousness believed it was itself.

Everything it did came from its instinct.

It had become smarter, having detached from its former confused self.

So, the strange things it did now were merely because it was too foolish in the past.

This was very strange.

Could this be considered a Clone Spell?

But I had never created any "Clone Spell."

The Spells I used were only Reincarnation, Seed of Great Knowledge, Great Knowledge Sharing Technique, and the like.

The other techniques: Soul Mimicry, Consciousness Mimicry, Soul-substance Shaping, Instinct Summarization, etc.... many of these could not be considered systematic techniques.

I just used the means I mastered to achieve what I wanted to do.

The matter seemed so simple that I even felt like I was toying with life and death.

If Mutated Beasts could be like this, then... what about people?

There were many people in this world who deserved to die, and also many who deserved to be saved.

This method could help me experience the lives of people on this ruin from many different perspectives.

Then... what about Dream State creatures?

After all, with the resurgence of the Dream State, the trend was irreversible.

Everyone would eventually be shrouded in the Dream State, and then return to peace.

The Dream State would soothe every anxious dreamer at night.

Before the resurgence of the Dream State, the people of Ninglan New-City seemed not to have mentioned the Dream State at all...

So Dream State creatures would also be the "neighbors" accompanying the Expansion Realm for a long time.

Mutated Beasts, people, Dream State creatures... I seemed to have many attempts that I had not yet personally practiced.

I used to think too much and do too little.

And now, I had enough time and energy to personally experience the perspectives I had never had before.

Experiencing different perspectives... in fact, I had already experienced it on the day of enrollment, from a boy to a girl.

It was a very novel experience, only that I couldn't go back after that.

Now... it was better not to mention it.

After finding the migrating Mutated Beast pack, I directly teleported to their location based on the clone's positioning.

Then, I used a simple Optical Camouflage Spell to conceal my figure and cast the Great Wisdom Enlightenment Spell on them.

The consumption of the Great Wisdom Enlightenment Spell was still quite large, especially when targeting so many targets.

However, I had the welcome gift from Big Sis Belica; that Storage Card alone contained several thousand Magic Power Sources.

Adding the previous ones, my current Magic Power Source count had reached a little over fifteen thousand.

And the Optical Camouflage Spellbook, this basic Spell, was also among the Spellbooks in that welcome gift.

Besides Magic Power Sources, the Storage Card also contained Spellbooks and some Arcanite Gold, the common currency in the Witch Academy.

I was truly surprised by how valuable the welcome gift Big Sis Belica gave me was.

Although the Spellbooks were all Lesser Spellbooks and basic Spellbooks, they were all rare and uncommon, for example, this Optical Camouflage.

It even came in a set, with Odor Elimination, Noise Reduction, Line of Sight Block, etc.

Although these Spellbooks were very cheap in the Witch Academy Great Library, I guessed that these rare items were all personally made by Big Sis Belica.

After all, she was the mentor currently teaching Big Sis Bai the True Editing technique!

Under the rapid recovery of my Self-generating Magic Power, I finally finished my work.

“I really don't know what kind of changes it will bring to the Expansion Realm to have a group of wisdom-enlightened Mutated Beasts appear,” I murmured from a distance.

Then, the next moment, I disappeared from here.

Having one of my clones in this pack was enough.

As for the remaining time... I planned a journey through the Expansion Realm.

Back when this Expansion Realm was still a small world, I had taken a round-the-world trip, but it was not completed for some reason.

This journey would no longer be like the previous one, enjoying the scenery and mountains, but to constantly witness, feel, and cultivate, and plant trees along the way.

To witness the brilliance of humanity sparked by disaster, to feel the emotions between people amidst the disaster.

To feel with my own senses; this was also a form of cultivation, the cultivation of Body Cultivation.

And the clone with the resonating Heart Sense could also bring me different feelings.

By relying on Heart Sense to continuously understand, and through perception, to understand the joy, anger, sorrow, hate, and disgust expressed by those people...

The reason I had this idea of a journey was also because of that Mutated Beast clone.

It gave me a revelation on how to perfect the order of my own Domain!

What was my Domain?

It was the prototype of the Mental Realm Domain, evolved from the Sixth Sense Heart Sense, based on the Body Cultivation system.

Yes, it was a prototype.

I hadn't perfected it.

Previously, I had tried to integrate the prototype of the Seventh Sense, Time Sense, into the order of the Domain, and the effect was excellent.

I had also tried to integrate the effects of two Spellbooks into the order, so the Power of Knowledge was also one of the manifestations of the Domain order, and the most primary one at that.

This was sufficient to show how deeply I had researched the Power of Knowledge generated by the two Grand Spellbooks.

Furthermore, there was the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree under the Great Tree of Knowledge system.

These were all extensions of my Domain order.

Then what about my Body Cultivation?

The foundation of my Domain?

My Body Cultivation's sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch?

They were also perceptions, collectively known as the Five Senses.

Why couldn't they be integrated into the order of the Domain?

If, within the Domain, the reorganized order reached wherever my senses could reach... then I would be a pseudo-omniscient god who dominated this Domain!

Any slight movement, as long as it couldn't exceed my Five Senses perception, would be detected by me, not to mention my Heart Sense and Time Sense.

And the clone gave me such a revelation.

It allowed my perception to reach places my main body had never been, and the way to achieve and perfect this idea was the Sixth Sense Heart Sense.

The Mental Realm formed by Heart Sense was also the prototype of the Domain, so... the Domain must be able to transmit the Five Senses through some "medium."

Then what was the medium?

My first thought was... the Power of Knowledge. If every bit of Power of Knowledge were my "eyes and ears," then this would be too terrifying.

I seemed to have underestimated the development potential of the Domain.

And more importantly, my Domain was still just a "prototype."

I didn't know how to break through this prototype threshold, and the Witch Sisters had all tacitly avoided mentioning it.

Perhaps... I hadn't met the rigid conditions.

Regardless of whether this was the Witch Sisters' protection for me or their belief that I couldn't do it, I would repeatedly create miracles and open their eyes.

Even if they said nothing, wouldn't it be more fulfilling for me to touch the truth with my own abilities?

So I now had a basic idea: to travel, to cultivate, to practice the perception of the Five Senses, and to find a way to integrate them into the Domain.

Then, during the cultivation, I would digest the Rune knowledge I obtained from Belica and the other Big Sisters, and also try out the Totem knowledge.

And learning Runology needed to be accompanied by continuous practice.

The means of practice was to continuously study and derive the Spellbooks I currently possessed.

There was nothing easier for applying the Runes flexibly than studying Spellbooks.

This journey also included the research of three Spellbooks: the Reverse Summoning Spell, the Crystallization Spell, and the Spellbook Shelf Spellbook.

The Reverse Summoning Spell had great potential.

According to the research data Teacher Ji Niang gave me before, I could develop many usages.

For example, what I mentioned to Millian before: letting her point the business card at an enemy, and I would strike them with a blade for her.

This was a derivative usage of the Reverse Summoning Spell.

The Spell summoned not myself but an attack of mine.

This was the core method of the "over-the-horizon strike" I had conceived.

I had this concept as early as when Fool's Dream appeared in my Sea of the Dream State.

And the reason I valued the Crystallization Spell so much was that it could even turn Soul-substance into Soul Crystals!

What was most abundant in the Expansion Realm?

Crystal energy Transcendent materials—a natural testing ground.

The main thing was its development potential, and of course, the fact that it was a gift from Academy Head Bev Ailana.

As for the Spellbook Shelf Spellbook, that goes without saying.

I had already planned it: the "Myriad Spell Bookshelf" integrated into the Great Tree of Knowledge system!

These were all my plans for this semester until the end of the semester.

I did tell Big Sis Agnes that I would be immersing myself in the Expansion Realm for a while to really study, but I didn't say it would be just reading in one place, did I?

Read ten thousand books, travel ten thousand miles—the teachings of my past life still taught me how to learn.

But before that, I still had a few things to do, for example, the group of people I brought with me, Yi Rui and her group.

Although they didn't need me to arrange their trip in Ninglan New City, I should still take care of them, right?

Then there was Sofili, whom I mentioned when I met Dongli Yiren.

I had to go and meet her, and I also had a large number of seeds from the Seed Bank that needed to be cultivated.

I didn't have that kind of time.

Although I could use a clone, I felt it wasn't necessary.

Professional matters should be left to professional people.

Furthermore, I had also let Ninglan New City access the Plant Technology.

They needed a large number of talents who understood Plant Technology to develop Ninglan New City.

And these talents needed to be found among those refugees.

Most of those refugees were now in the Calamity Shelter.

I would go to the "talent market" later to have a look.

After all, once they shed their refugee status, they would always need to earn their daily expenses through their own labor, wouldn't they?

So this also created employment opportunities for the people of the Calamity Shelter in a way.

I think that with the seeds I obtained and the seeds others obtained, the Plant Technology would develop very quickly.

Furthermore, the root network of the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree had already spread throughout Ninglan New City.

This meant that the network and Earth Energy transmission infrastructure no longer needed major overhauls, which was indeed beneficial to Ninglan New-City's modernization.

It was just that they might not understand my good intentions in the short term... Thinking of this, I inexplicably felt that I was the biggest benefactor in the entire Expansion Realm.

This was truly great.

But was I a good person by nature?

If the people in the Witch Academy were to evaluate me, their assessment probably wouldn't be very good.

Returning to Ninglan New City, I planned to contact Dongli Yiren first and arrange a time to see Sofili, whom I hadn't seen in a long time.

Then I would go and see Yi Rui and her group.

I was actually very curious about their derivations and research on Spells.

Everyone had their own limitations in thinking.

Perhaps exchanging ideas with them would be very beneficial to me.

However, just as I returned, I encountered a group of people.

“Teaching Assistant Xiaohan, you worked hard this time.”

“Hmm? Who are you?”

I looked at them coldly.

“People from the Wan Shi Wu Club. I'm not very interested in you. Don't keep changing the people you send to contact me.”

“We... we just wanted to send you a token of our appreciation. Thank you for fulfilling the contract so quickly and helping us...”

“Take it back. I don't need it. You just need to fulfill your obligations according to the contract.”

I waved my hand and refused them.

Even though I knew there was a large, high-quality Soul Crystal inside, it still couldn't attract me.

“I still have things to do. If there's anything urgent, have Millian come find me. That shouldn't be difficult for you people from the Wan Shi Wu Club, right?”
