Is It Weird for a Guy to Apply to a Witch School?

Chapter 617: The Place Where Earth Veins Converge

Inside the basement.

I felt along the wall for the only remaining technological products, those plants illuminating for me and the flowing Earth Energy.

”Don’t be so agitated, otherwise I don’t mind eliminating you, okay?”

I expressed the most dangerous words in a gentle tone, perfectly transmitting it to the Dream Creature that suddenly became agitated again through the Consciousness Communication Spell.

According to the situation Mentor Mei once explained to me, the birth of Dream Creatures is very bizarre, especially Dream Creatures born in the Primal Dream State.

It might even be that a brand new form of Dream Creature is born because of a ”wave” in the dream, and then its form of existence dissipates after only existing for an instant, or their life comes to an end.

Even though... Dream Creatures seemingly cannot be classified as life yet, death is equal.

And these Dream Creatures that can be born here seem to have a uniform appearance.

I estimate they should belong to the form created by this specific environment.

However, this Dream Creature suddenly becoming agitated must be for a reason.

Just don’t know what it represents.

And it also can’t explain clearly to me, only faintly sounds like food or something similar.

After threatening the Dream Creature in the simplest way, I also began to familiarize myself with the situation here.

According to the information obtained by the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell, this seems to be the underground cold storage Seed Bank, the area I am looking for.

”I found it effortlessly after all that fuss.”

I hummed a brisk melody and continued to penetrate deeper.

I could also feel the gradually dropping temperature.

The Earth Energy supply room here seems to be operating normally.

Otherwise, after so many days, it shouldn’t still be cooling.

”Here...”

The walkways here all had text labels.

Following the guidance, I found the right place.

However, after arriving, the thick door here blocked me... of course, they can’t stop me.

Boom—!

With a violent strike, the thick vault door was forcibly opened by me.

But immediately after, a burst of alarm sounds indicating damage rang out around.

The piercing sound echoed in the small underground area, making me feel uncomfortable.

I didn’t expect there to be an anti-theft system here, and it was still working normally.

Should I say the quality of the facilities here is really good, or should I praise the tenacious vitality of these plant technologies?

I shook my head slightly.

With a snap of my fingers, several spells destroyed the devices making the noise.

Subsequently, I entered inside and began to scavenge.

No matter what seeds were in those storage containers, I directly took them into my storage equipment, along with the storage equipment itself.

Since these seeds were qualified to be put here, it means they have value themselves.

Even if there isn’t much use value, they are also excellent seeds that have gone through selection and can undergo Transcendent induction.

Or I could give them directly to Sofili.

She should like them very much.

However, when collecting, I also roughly check the classification.

It would be troublesome to organize later if I messed it up.

So... I quickly saw a very special storage cabinet.

”Hm? This... Myriad Connection Main Network Tree... Ah?”

I looked at the label on it, then looked closely again, confirming there was no mistake.

This seems indeed to be the cultivated seed of the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree!

”This Seed Bank seems to have some capability. They can even get the cultivated seed of the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree?”

Although I said this, I still put it away.

It is not without use.

After all, the technique of the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree incorporated into the system of my Great Tree of Knowledge relies on a material carrier in reality.

It is not a spell like the Seed of Great Knowledge.

The new Myriad Connection Main Network Tree is truly a large tree.

Either use the original Myriad Connection Main Network Tree as a prototype and cultivate it with the technique I master, or re-cultivate a Main Network Tree, and then repeat the process just now.

The technique of the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree is essentially a kind of ”modification technique” for incorporating it into the Great Tree of Knowledge system.

Naturally, there must be a physical entity to cast this technique.

Although I master the technology to induce and cultivate the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree, I’m not afraid of the Main Network Tree going extinct, but if it really goes extinct, I would also have a big headache.

After all, who doesn’t like convenience, who doesn’t like taking shortcuts?

And now with ready-made seeds, it counts as an extra layer of insurance.

Perhaps I should cultivate another tree specifically for condensing seeds.

After tidying everything up, I looked back at the place I had made somewhat messy.

Plucking every feather that passes is nothing more than this.

”Little fellow, why exactly were you agitated just now?”

I shook the Dream Creature in my hand.

Earlier, I thought it discovered a large chunk of Soul Crystal here.

I even paid attention deliberately when scavenging just now, but there was nothing.

”The... re...”

Soon, the Dream Creature suddenly transmitted this sound discontinuously.

”Finally starting effective communication with me?”

I asked with a smile.

However, it seems difficult for it to understand complex questions.

After all, Dream Creatures are really simple.

Many cognitions are different from humans.

If relying on human inertial thinking to ask, they naturally won’t understand, and if they don’t understand, they can’t answer.

Just like I don’t understand the jumbled words the Dream Creature said earlier.

Maybe that was also its simple way of expression, but my brain doesn’t have cognition in this regard, so I couldn’t understand.

But now, pointing out the direction very simply, it can understand and express it.

Have to say, the progress is huge.

Sure enough, cultivating feelings with Dream Creatures is still the correct choice.

However, the direction it pointed to seemed to be just a wall, but I didn’t doubt anything because of this, but went forward to see what exactly the situation was.

When my hand touched the wall surface, a burst of shattered ripples suddenly emerged on the wall.

”Hm? This wall too?”

While I was surprised, I also stepped into it in one move.

This wall is a spatial cross-section.

Behind it is another space.

When I arrived after the wall, I found that this was not the dim underground area before.

But another place resembling a walkway, but after my feet landed on solid ground, I couldn’t help but frown.

Because... the gravity here became weaker!

Something is interfering with the relationship between space and the Expansion Realm.

Otherwise, the gravity of the Expansion Realm wouldn’t have such an obvious change.

But now is not the time to research these things, because the layout here is somewhat different from before.

That is, overall... it is too shattered.

Unlike the previously experienced spaces, old and damaged, the reasons for those could be seen, such as plant mutation, energy crystallization, artificial damage, and the like.

But here... it is as if space itself was damaged, affecting the internal matter.

This is very wrong.

Previously, I experienced so many distorted spaces, and fault-line spaces, but the internal material structure was not damaged.

And here... is not certain.

I looked at the shattered traces on the ground, bending down to pick up a piece.

”This is... Earth Vein Memory Crystal? Wait...”

Seeing this shattered piece of thing, I reacted abruptly.

Expansion Realm repair, what is being repaired?

The Earth Vein of the Expansion Realm!

The matter, energy, and Soul-substance of that world are incidental.

So... I might have been wrong about one thing from the beginning.

That is... is this spatial distortion and fault lines really dominated by World Primordial Soil?

Could it be the Earth Vein?

After all, after enrolling, I learned a concept: ”Earth Vein Stagnation.”

After dredging, one can obtain some Transcendent materials and Earth Vein Memory carried by the Earth Vein.

World Primordial Soil cannot cause such complex spatial distortion for no reason.

It only has two states.

One is the stable state, where nothing happens.

The other is the outbreak state, forming Transcendent material matter, diffusing outward to form exposed mining areas, or generating superimposed material space under special circumstances, but it won’t form such a complex and continuously changing spatial maze.

Continuously changing... and capable of reaching this level, I can only think of the Earth Vein cycle.

And at this moment, this Dream Creature suddenly jumped around again.

My thoughts only woke up from these unnecessary guesses.

And now I roughly understand what the Dream Creature is trying to do.

Because the shattered ”fragments” here are all Earth Vein Memory, Transcendent materials, and... Soul Crystal fragments.

This place seems to gather many things.

All substances transformed from the Three Source Elements of the World are present.

But this is not strange.

The composite Transcendent material mining areas outside earlier already explained that this area is not purely a single three-source element outbreak.

To confirm my conjecture, I used the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell again.

This time I obtained not only the macroscopic spatial coordinates of my location, but also... the information of the Earth Vein itself.

Soon, an unexpected piece of information was transmitted.

The area I am in seems... to belong to a space not recorded in the shallow Earth Vein information before.

And now that I have stepped into here, qualified to touch the Earth Vein information here, macroscopically, more similar ”hidden spaces” also appeared.

And these spaces... seem not to be messed up, but spirally linear progressive.

As for the location of the end point... unknown, a blur!

The Earth Vein energy there is very ”agitated.”

The information carried internally is interfered with by an unknown force.

So the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell cannot obtain information that can be analyzed.

Naturally, it is a blur.

And subsequently, information regarding the Earth Vein itself also completely confirmed my conjecture!

This is a place where Earth Veins converge!

Suddenly, I seemed to have figured out one thing.

What does the place where Earth Veins converge represent?

It is the embodiment of a civilization region’s ”weight.”

And this is a place... for the continuation of a civilization’s technological spark.

What it carries is far heavier than any other place in that civilization.

I waved my hand, collecting all the debris on the ground.

Then I proceeded along the only path.

When I entered a brand new space again, I only felt everything around me was more shattered, and gravity became more and more slight.

I felt that a Gentle Wind Spell could make me float in the air continuously.

I seem to be getting further and further away from the Expansion Realm.

And just at this time, the Dream Creature in my hand also made a strange movement.

Through Spirit Vision, I can see that it seems to be emitting a kind of information, but I can’t hear the sound, nor see the movement, and this is not energy.

Perhaps this is a unique instinctive behavior of Dream Creatures.

And not long after, I understood what this was doing.

It is... calling its kind.

As this information spread, the first Dream Creature soon appeared here, and immediately after, more Dream Creatures drilled out from the dream boundary of this space.

They wandered here wantonly, sometimes even coming over trying to kick my consciousness avatar in the dream back to reality.

But as I unfolded the Mental Realm Domain, all the Dream Creatures immediately became obedient.

After all, no matter what, they are just a group of Dream Creatures.

Their existence is very fragile.

Even... more fragile than those Nightmare Demons encountered back then.

These guys could bring so much trouble to those upper-grade seniors and teaching assistants only because they occupied the home field of the dream.

”Don’t even think about snatching my things.”

I warned the Dream Creature in my hand, collecting all the relatively large materials here.

Subsequently, I retracted the domain.

And after the change just now, these Dream Creatures seemed to fear me very much.

But seeing that some debris was left behind, they couldn’t help their greedy nature and started eating cautiously.

I no longer cared about these smaller fragments.

After all, the big pieces were taken by me.

I naturally look down on the remaining fine mixed dust, like fine sand.

However, I discovered that these Dream Creatures not only eat Soul Crystals but also Earth Vein Memory.

This is truly an eye-opener.

Soon, I ignored these Dream Creatures and continued forward.

I wanted to see what the end was.

Maybe there was some opportunity hidden there.

After spending some effort and passing through a few more spaces, I plunged into a brand new area.

And after arriving here, I stumbled suddenly, but didn’t fall.

Because... gravity was completely lost here!

I floated in this space just like this.

Controlling my body, I turned to look at the other side.

And at the moment I saw it, I was stunned by the scene in front of my eyes!

Everything here gave me only one feeling: massive!

I just floated uniformly and linearly in this space, looking at the colossal illusory shadow, like a root system, in this huge space.

And the intense Earth Vein energy.

All phenomena seemed to prove that everything I saw was the Earth Vein itself!

And the space I am in is not empty.

A huge crystalline body condenses on the Earth Vein.

Countless shattered crystals float under the surging of Earth Vein energy, undergoing complex cyclical movements.

On it, I could see countless reflections, mirroring the scene of one space after another.

”Where did this bring me...”

After a brief shock, I also recovered, looking at the fantastical scene in front of me.

I also subconsciously used the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell to obtain information on the objective level, because everything here far exceeded the upper limit of my cognition.

This place... seems to be the Earth Vein, the material space transformed by World Primordial Soil, and also the core area controlling the twisting and changing of this space!

The shock everything here brought me had already suppressed my greed for those Transcendent objects at this moment.

Their form of existence was like a miracle, making me ignore their inherent value.

A thought of wanting to explore the unknown, emanating from the bottom of my heart, rose up in my mind.

If I can understand all this, then my cognition of the Transcendent, my understanding of concepts like Earth Vein, World Primordial Soil, material space, and Transcendent energy will be elevated to the next level.

These things I personally explored and understood are far more real than those dry pieces of knowledge recorded in the Great Tree of Knowledge!
