Chapter 278: Wisdom's Enlightenment, the Great Wisdom Enlightenment Spell

“Huff… huff… hmm…”

At this moment, I was still constantly calming my emotions and my thoughts.

Although I wasn't quite sure what the formation of a spellbook would be like, according to Teacher Ji Niang's initial hint that it would take about ten days to complete, there shouldn't have been such a big commotion.

This had destroyed the entire secret realm, can you believe it?

At this moment, the secret realm here had lost its original function.

The light was beginning to dim, and the cracks in the sky were still constantly expanding.

I didn't know how the others and Big Sis Bai were at this moment, and what about the Fool's Dream who lived in the village…

My mind was filled with the spellbook of that time.

At that time, when the spellbook was releasing terrifying energy, it had already detached itself from the original huge rock of the ancestral land.

A huge force lifted it high into the sky, replacing the already extinguished sun of the secret realm.

This was definitely not an ordinary spellbook.

Before, the Academy Head had asked me to guess, to be a little bolder.

This in itself was a hint.

A possibility appeared in my mind.

When the nightmare was eliminated before, I might have guessed what the thing that fed back to the spellbook was.

[Transcendent Knowledge]

Indeed, I seemed to have this kind of thing too, but unfortunately, it was still in an unanalyzed state.

This was what I had obtained when I awakened my talent.

I had always felt that it was very far away from me, and I had almost ignored its existence.

Moreover, it existed in my body in a way that I did not know, which further reduced its presence.

But these were not the main points.

The main point had always been [Transcendent Knowledge].

Teacher Ji Niang had explained to me that a spellbook that possessed [Transcendent Knowledge] was called a "Grand Spellbook."

She didn't tell me what this spellbook could do or what was special about it, but she seemed to be preparing to dedicate her life to this thing.

There was also a very important piece of information, and that was that if Teacher Ji Niang had a Grand Spellbook… she couldn't keep it either!

What if the one who made the Grand Spellbook was the Academy Head?

This seemed to be a very reasonable guess, and also very bold.

Taking advantage of the present, I hurriedly left this place.

I was going to find Big Sis Bai and the Fool's Dream in the village to see how they were doing at this moment.

But after I came out of this place that was no longer an ancestral land, it had already become a sea of transcendent energy.

There were no Fool's Dream here, nor those students and Big Sis Bai.

The surrounding rainforest fell outwards in a radial pattern at this moment.

Not a single tree was spared.

The high temperature and radiation from the dissipated energy conversion baked the entire forest, and flames and thick smoke had become the main theme here.

I had seen such a scene before, during the exchange competition…

Just as I was in a daze, figures floated past in the distance.

“Fool's Dream…”

I watched with my own eyes as they emerged one by one without their shells.

Then, they floated towards the direction of the ancestral land as usual, until they reached there, but they did not reincarnate again.

The huge rock of the ancestral land had already shattered, and the flower fairy plants clustered around had already turned into dust.

The Fool's Dream could no longer reincarnate, nor could they have their own shells again.

They gathered together in a daze, somewhat at a loss.

“They're all dead… no… the Fool's Dream have no concept of death.”

At this moment, I shook my head, my heart filled with mixed feelings.

Should I apologize for destroying their ancestral land?

Should I repent for making them homeless like this?

Seeing them coming towards the only living creature here at this moment, which was me, they couldn't speak now, and even if they could, I, who was in reality, couldn't hear them.

I faced them with only silence, and no apology.

Perhaps it was because I had seen through that this was an inevitable result.

Or maybe I was hard-hearted.

But at this moment, the spellbook high in the sky underwent a strange change.

Deep cracks opened up with the spellbook as the center.

The deep cracks seemed to lead to an endless and unknown place.

I didn't know what that thing was, maybe it was some kind of spatial crack, or some other kind of passage.

At this moment, I only knew that these open cracks had given this dying secret realm the final blow.

The Fool's Village secret realm had been completely shattered.

The sky shattered, the earth cracked, and the cracks ran through the heavens and the earth.

Matter was flowing away, and I even felt that the air was becoming a little thin.

The Fool's Dream, who had lost their shells, were trembling in their intangible bodies, frightened by this strange change.

They gathered together and clung to my body, as if seeking the last bit of shelter.

I didn't drive them away, but released a protective spell and included them in it.

After all, this was the only thing I could do for them at this moment.

I looked up at that "huge" spellbook.

Those deep cracks were getting more and more, and had completely swallowed the spellbook.

“Haha! An unformed Grand Spellbook… come to me and condense slowly!”

Suddenly, a voice that was clearly not a witch's suddenly appeared.

Then I saw a monster that was not even in human form appear, speaking a language I couldn't understand.

The next moment, the spellbook and the space covered by the cracks seemed to have been cut off.

Then, that piece of space seemed to be a plaything in the other party's palm, ready to be put away.

During this process, I didn't even see the other party care about me at all, even though at the first moment it appeared, its mental power seemed to have already locked onto me.

I swore that I never wanted to experience that heart-pounding feeling a second time.

But before I could recover, a heart-wrenching scream came from above.

By the time I looked up, the sound had stopped abruptly.

The spellbook was still there, only those cracks still existed.

“Truly courting death.”

A soft sigh echoed in the sky.

As soon as this voice appeared, the most excited one seemed to be the most special one among the Fool's Dream.

Without needing to distinguish, I knew that this Fool's Dream was Yuhu.

The other Fool's Dream were very confused and scared at this moment.

The next moment, I saw a figure appear from the crack in the secret realm.

It was Academy Head Mei Linde.

At this moment, her makeup was the same as when I had met her before.

She stepped into the air and stood between the spellbook and those cracks, looking at it with great satisfaction, as if she were observing one of her most satisfactory works of art.

Then, she seemed to have noticed me and nodded at me with a smile.

Then, with a wave of her hand, the collapsing secret realm seemed to freeze in its destruction at this moment.

Seeing that the secret realm was not breaking down any faster, I heaved a sigh of relief.

At least I was… saved.

But it was obvious that the Academy Head did not have much thought to care about me and this group of Fool's Dream at this moment.

“Don't go over.”

I grabbed Yuhu, but the other party was an intangible Fool's Dream.

However, I used my mental power that had condensed into a thread to pull Yuhu back.

“Don't go over, the Academy Head can't be distracted now. You'll only cause trouble if you go over!”

I looked at the sky, at the Academy Head who had already reached out to put the deep cracks into the spellbook, and then at this aggrieved Yuhu, and I was not polite to her.

“Reflect on it properly. Your impulsiveness will only harm others. You don't want Academy Head Mei Linde's arrangement to be in vain because of your stupid actions, right?”

After educating Yuhu, I no longer paid attention to them.

My friendship with Yuhu was friendship, and principles were principles.

I was very clear about that.

But in the end, I still didn't treat the Fool's Dream as friends.

They were more like… cute things.

I was willing to interact with them, but I would definitely not tolerate their mistakes.

This wait was very boring and long.

I could see that the Academy Head seemed to be putting that crack into the spellbook at this moment.

That crack seemed to be full of transcendent energy, and the other side seemed to be a sea of energy.

Such an existence was being used as a part of a spellbook.

Was this the terror of a Grand Spellbook…

And there was also that guy who had suddenly appeared just now.

That was definitely not an existence from another academy, and no race from any academy could match it.

I couldn't understand what it was saying, but a possibility suddenly popped up.

That was… that existence was not a guy from my world.

The other party could easily cut space, so it was very likely that it had come from outside the world?

I suddenly realized that I had still underestimated the value of a Grand Spellbook.

Maybe it was because Teacher Ji Niang had casually said that she couldn't keep it, which made me not realize its importance.

The moment a Grand Spellbook was born, it seemed that it was no longer a struggle within this world, but more of a dispute from outside the world!

At this moment, the more I thought about it, the more scared I became.

That guy could probably kill me with just a thought, but it died in that terrifying crack.

And the Academy Head had a way to put this crack into the spellbook, which showed that the Academy Head's strength was many times more terrifying than that thief who wanted to be the first to arrive.

Time continued to pass bit by bit, until the Academy Head had put the last crack into the spellbook.

The next moment, both the spellbook and the Academy Head's figure disappeared.

“Wait… disappeared?”

I was a little incredulous.

The Academy Head just left like that, then what about me?

Just as I was dumbfounded, a figure appeared behind me.

“Little Han.”

“Hmm? Who!”

A sudden sound, and it was calling my name, which directly startled me who was highly tense.

But after seeing the other party, my pupils suddenly widened, “Aca… Academy Head?! Didn't you just leave…”

“That's right, I did leave. There are some reasons why I had to leave, so what you see at this moment is just an managed avatar with self-awareness. I naturally won't forget you.”

“A clone?”

I looked at the Academy Head in front of me and quickly accepted this setting.

After all, even I had a spell like an illusory clone, but the one in front of me seemed to be a solid clone, and it seemed to be a spell effect.

“Yes, I know you have many questions. You can ask me slowly. I have sent all the others out of the secret realm. It can be said that you are the only living person here. It's better to talk about some things in this kind of environment. Some information is not suitable to be heard by people who are not yet qualified to know.”

“Mm… alright, alright…”

I quickly nodded.

Hearing that they had all been sent out, a stone fell from my heart.

At least Big Sis Bai's safety was guaranteed.

After a while, I also asked my first question under the expectant gaze of this Academy Head's clone.

“I want to ask, the crack that appeared in the spellbook just now… what was it? Where did it connect to?”

“Asking this right away? Alright, that's a void crack. No one knows where it connects to. Any existence that gets close to it will be torn apart, and even a normal resurrection spell can't resurrect them. It's probably to that extent.”

“Void crack…”

This time I learned a new term, but unfortunately it was at a level that I couldn't reach, “That monster that suddenly appeared… was it a strong person from outside the world?”

“Oh… you guessed it? But you're half right. It was indeed from outside the world, but as for strong… not necessarily. That disgusting thing's only impressive skill was its space-related technique. The rest is not worth mentioning. But you can rest assured, this is an isolated case. It's not so easy for strong people from outside the world to come in.”

“So… Academy Head, your main body is outside the world…”

“You are very smart to have understood this level. Then… you should also know what kind of thing I have created, right?”

“A Grand Spellbook?”

My tone carried a question, as if I were seeking confirmation of my answer.

“Aiya, it seems that Ji Niang has told you a lot. You even know about Grand Spellbooks.”

“Mm… but only limited to knowing the name…”

“That's true. That little girl, Ji Niang, who has her heart set higher than the sky, isn't she also preparing to make a Grand Spellbook? No wonder she would tell you this. But it was a correct choice for her to find you. Unfortunately, she still lacks the foundation. Of course, I'm not saying that she can't succeed.”

At this point, Mei Linde shook her head.

Of course, I naturally understood what the Academy Head meant.

Anyway, it was just that it would be very difficult for Teacher Ji Niang to complete the same feat at this moment.

And at this moment, a Fool's Dream came to me, her body trembling with excitement.

“Oh? A Fool's Dream, you are… Yuhu, interesting…”

The Academy Head didn't have much emotional fluctuation towards this Fool's Dream that had suddenly appeared, but just recognized the other party very lightly.

Just as I thought that the Academy Head was going to reminisce with Yuhu, Mei Linde just lightly waved her hand, and the nightmare that was entangled in Yuhu's body was stripped away.

This was not just helping Yuhu, and what was stripped was not just a nightmare, but the cognition and her memory that were one with Yuhu!

“What? Do you think I'm heartless?”

Mei Linde looked at me with a smile, her tone was calm, “Some things are not suitable for them to hear. But looking at you, you seem to be unexpectedly calm. I thought you had formed a deep friendship with her, and I was still thinking about how to comfort you.”

“No…”

Although I was a little confused by the Academy Head's behavior, her decisiveness in directly removing Yuhu's memory and cognition still made me feel a trace of a Transcendent Witch's cold-bloodedness, but all of this was still within the range I could bear.

“Fool's Dream, I gave them this name. Actually, they are just very ordinary creatures that are very common in the endless dreamscape. Even their birth and death might not even last a second in the dreamscape.”

“But you still brought them out.”

“Yes, because they have the value of being treated specially by me, I think you should know.”

“Is it [Transcendent Knowledge]?”

“That's right, it's this. I tried to separate them, so they became simple Fool's Dream and pure nightmares. But the part of transcendent knowledge existed in the part of the nightmare. They were originally one, so if I wanted to obtain stable [Transcendent Knowledge], I needed the Fool's Dream to exist stably, so I created this secret realm and provided them with independent shells, which is that flower fairy plant, and isolated them on both sides of reality and dreamscape in this way.”

“But if they have too much cognition, they will aggregate again and become dreamscape creatures. Why did you, Academy Head, still publicly place this secret realm here?”

I asked curiously.

The Academy Head couldn't possibly have predicted my existence, right?

Or hundreds of years ago, I hadn't even been born in my previous life.

“Originally, it was not public. Then I encountered that insurmountable bottleneck at the spellbook revelation. If I had proceeded step by step, it might have taken me a thousand years to have a breakthrough, so I made it public. After all, with more people, there would always be miracles. If anyone saw any kind of revelation in it, it would be a great push for my research. And the practice of hundreds of years has also proved that my idea was not wrong. There is no doubt that the Witch Academy is full of talents.”

“Then… the Fool's Village secret realm has been visited by fewer and fewer people…”

“That's naturally my doing, and part of it is their own doing. You students are ultimately not even transcendent students. The help of the students to me is getting smaller and smaller, and they are even causing me trouble. It's better to hide this secret realm. But the Meditation Method is still very helpful to students, so I didn't completely seal this secret realm. Oh, that so-called Meditation Method is a part of the Grand Spellbook before it was completed, but it should be gone now.”

“Then… the effect of that Grand Spellbook…”

At this moment, I still couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

“Remember, in the future, you'd better not rashly inquire about the effect of other people's Grand Spellbooks. That is the capital for the other party to establish themselves, and also their foundation. Even inquiring may lead to enmity with the other party.”

Hearing my question, the Academy Head's tone suddenly became serious and she gave me a lecture.

“Yes! I'm, I'm sorry!”

I quickly apologized.

I didn't expect this kind of thing to be so serious…

“Alright, I don't mean to blame you. Besides, aren't you the one who contributed the most core part to this spellbook?”

At this time, the Academy Head's tone changed from its previous seriousness, and she said to me gently.

“If you want to know, I will actually tell you.”

As Academy Head Mei Linde spoke, she stretched out her hand and handed something to me.

“This… this is… a spellbook? Wait? Huh? Academy Head, you didn't take her with you?”

I looked at the familiar spellbook in the Academy Head's hand in surprise.

Isn't this the culprit that destroyed this secret realm!

“Let me correct you, this is a Grand Spellbook. Hehe, you're so cute, Little Han. Isn't it bad to carry such a precious thing on you? And it can't provide me with any combat power, so there's naturally no need for my main body to take it out.”

“Can't increase combat power?”

“Yes, there are always some spells that are not suitable for combat. This Grand Spellbook, I'll name it… the Great Wisdom Enlightenment Spell.”
