Chapter 451: Chapter 391: Knowledge and Spiritual Wisdom
While Jeming assessed the situation, contemplating whether to continue the "interrupt" mission under these circumstances, a familiar voice suddenly resonated in his mind, filled with uncontainable excitement and pride:
"Hahaha! Did you see that? In less than a year! These little fellows, relying solely on their awakened intelligence and collective collaboration, have managed to create a strong entity of this level! Incredible! Absolutely incredible! Not worthy of the life I inspired!"
It was the voice of the Starfall Wizard.
Jeming was momentarily stunned, then he quickly reacted.
Since it had been confirmed that the grand plan underground was not an instantaneous bomb capable of destroying the plane, the Starfall Wizard naturally didn’t need to keep her entire mind and the plane origin locked together anymore.
She evidently used her authority as the Lord of Planes, directly transmitting her thoughts through the energy veins of the plane to Jeming.
No, it wasn’t just transmitted to him; it should have directly linked the four wizards together.
Looking around, those ordinary light spheres were still immersed in the ecstatic frenzy of a "king’s birth."
They had no reaction to this oracle-like thought, confirming Jeming’s suspicions.
Shortly after, Viola’s voice, calm yet playful, also interjected through this special plane communication channel:
"Starfall, I suggest you don’t celebrate too early. Take a closer look at the cave walls and floor, those remaining energy guide markings and rune structures... don’t they look familiar?"
At Viola’s words, Jeming instinctively scanned the entire massive cave’s walls and ground.
Indeed, hidden under dazzling rays and rough rock walls, he discovered many engravings.
Although these markings formed patterns and rune arrays that appeared incomplete and crudely laid out, with low energy flow efficiency,
Looking at their core structure and energy node arrangement, the complete form of this array should be quite exquisite.
"This is...!" Starfall Wizard’s voice revealed significant astonishment. "A simplified variant of the ’Kars Sevenfold Amplification Array’? And the basic module of the ’Energy Focusing Resonance Runes’? Isn’t this the underlying architecture of that auxiliary array we designed together when researching the high-energy beam cannon? How did it end up here?!"
Viola’s voice carried a hint of realization: "Seems my guess was correct. Starfall, during the ’Spiritual Wisdom Ignition’, even though you didn’t intentionally impart knowledge, you were deeply immersed in researching these array models at the time. It’s likely that the related knowledge, ideas, even the ’feelings’ when constructing them, accompanied your mind, were imprinted onto the souls of these newly-born wisdom through the medium of ’imagination elements.’"
"Considering the ’Spiritual Wisdom Ignition’ process itself is profoundly influenced by the creator’s emotions and thoughts, such unconscious knowledge ’contagion’ is entirely possible."
Jeming nodded silently within his camouflaged light sphere.
He actually knew a bit more.
After all, the "inspiration" technique of the Cultivation Immortality Realm is essentially a similar process.
When Immortals inspire stubborn stones, plants, and spirit monsters, besides bestowing spiritual wisdom, they usually infuse some basic survival knowledge, worldly understanding and even simple moral concepts.
Otherwise, if no knowledge is imparted and only power and wisdom are bestowed, then what would be inspired would not be helper disciples or servant warriors to aid in tasks like guarding caves, but rather a "super baby" with empty wisdom yet ignorant, needing to be taught from scratch.
Wizards are inherently beings who pursue knowledge, especially someone like Starfall, a High Tier Wizard, whose soul is brimming with a vast density of knowledge.
Even if the knowledge transmission points during the inspiration process are unknown, just an unconscious leak of a minor fraction could become the foundation for constructing cognition and technology for the newly-born blank intellect.
"So... is that how it is?"
Starfall Wizard’s voice revealed slight disappointment; the pure joy from witnessing the miracle of creation was somewhat diluted.
Noticing the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Jeming was about to say something through the communication channel to ease the situation, but the scenario suddenly changed again!
Boom!
The central, colossal light sphere abruptly contracted inward, then exploded with radiant brilliance and overwhelming pressure ten times stronger than before!
It was no longer an unstable energy aggregation but emanated a solid, stable, vast sea-like aura — in a short time, its ascension was entirely complete, and it had stabilized at the level of a Sixth Level being!
Just at the moment when this brilliance was at its peak and pressure swept the entire scene, a sudden change erupted!
Jeming only saw a blinding white in front of him, the intense light momentarily causing his enhanced vision to blur.
And just at the most dazzling moment of this light, when even perception was disrupted, dozens of the originally inactive light sphere elemental creatures beside Jeming suddenly rose!
They ceased to emit gentle or chaotic light, instead flaring with an aggressive dazzling radiance.
As if manipulated weapons, they launched extremely concentrated energy beams at the location of Jeming’s disguise from various clever angles!
Simultaneously, from the center of that newly-born Sixth Level light sphere, a massive, terrifying destructive aura-filled white light column burst forth.
With the force to tear apart earth, it accurately bombarded the spot where Jeming stood!
Danger perception screamed like an alarm in Jeming’s mind!
He didn’t even have time to think, his instincts honed by prolonged battles and research instantly activated, as the Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror also took effect, helping Jeming complete computations in a flash.
Phase Space!
His figure blurred and became indistinct in an instant; he peeled away from the main plane and narrowly slipped into the temporary parallel phase space.
Boom!!!
In the main plane, where he originally stood, all things within a radius of tens of meters — rocks, air, and those dozens of light cluster elemental creatures that suddenly attacked him — were completely vaporized and obliterated under the intersection of a sixth-level light beam and numerous energy rays.
When the smoke dispersed, only a smooth-edged, bottomless circular pit was left.
The rocks at the pit’s edge even formed a crystal-like structure due to the instantaneous high temperature explosion.
Jeming hid in the phase space, looking at the terrifying effect of the attack on the main plane, feeling a rush of fear, followed by a huge doubt.
Have I been discovered? When? How was I discovered?
He was very confident in his disguise.
It was a perfect disguise constructed using the Body Refining Technique’s form manipulation, light element simulation witchcraft, and All-Purpose Eye’s precise control of energy fluctuations.
Theoretically sufficient to fool a newly promoted sixth-level being whose realm had not yet stabilized.
Unless the opponent had specialized detection means, or...
"Jeming! Can you hear me? How are you now?!"
Starfall Wizard’s urgent voice came through plane authority again, clearly she also detected the terrible attack that erupted in the underground void.
"No problem, fortunately, I reacted very promptly, and didn’t suffer any damage."
Jeming quickly stretched his body in the phase space, restoring to normal form while calmly responding.
"But I can’t understand, my disguise should be perfect, how did it precisely lock onto me?"
A moment later, Viola’s voice joined the communication:
"Based on the images Starfall just sent, analyzing the attack pattern, that sixth-level being first released strong light interference on your location, then launched a deadly strike."
"This indicates it didn’t lock onto you when you were dodging, but knew your precise location from the beginning, and predicted the interference the strong light might cause you... Or rather, it knew ’flesh creatures’ have a visual weakness under strong light."
Viola’s words were not finished, but almost simultaneously, all three in the communication channel realized that chilling possibility.
"It’s a trap." Jeming’s voice lowered, "A trap specifically targeting possible ’observers’ or ’intruders’. They not only detected the Wizard... or the ’creator’, but even used information frequently exposed in recent experiments—like our simulation of ’flesh forms’ and possible observation behaviors— to set up this ambush. They want to counter-assault the ’creator’!"
Starfall Wizard was silent for a moment, then, the disappointment she felt was swept away.
Replaced by an even more intense, almost boiling research enthusiasm: "Counter-assault the creator?! Oh my god! They actually deduced the concept of a ’creator’s’ existence and instead of revering, they plan to resist! This wisdom... this spiritual... amazing! This excites me more than just creating miracles!"
On Viola’s side, there seemed to be a low chuckle and slight sounds of operating instruments: "Starfall, don’t be too happy too early. I detected some more interesting ’little troubles’ here. Looks like your ’children’ prepared more than one surprise."
Starfall Wizard seemed to see something through plane monitoring too, laughed even harder: "Hahaha! I saw it! So interesting! They actually have a contingency! Jeming!"
Her tone suddenly became solemn and filled with anticipation:
"Viola needs to handle some ’little surprises’ on her side right now, so the ’big surprise’ underground, I entrust you and Anya to resolve. Remember..."
Starfall Wizard’s voice had a strong exhortation: "Under no circumstances harm that big guy’s life! It is now our most valuable living research specimen! I want to study its thinking patterns, social structure, motives for resistance... everything!"
Jeming: "..."
"...What? Me?"
Let me, a Fourth Level Wizard, capture that sixth-level creature outside which is ambushing with an entire tribe?!
Oh right, there’s also Anya, a Third Level Wizard.
He still wanted to protest, but the plane communication simply and promptly cut off at this moment.
Almost simultaneously, he received a brief message from Anya via the Magic Network Terminal: "I’ve cleared the peripheral interference, and am approaching the core area at full speed. This high-energy reaction is really exaggerated, how is your situation?"
Jeming looked outside the phase space, at that sixth-level light cluster hovering above the pit, its brilliance flowing, seemingly searching for his traces.
And the countless light cluster army around that started moving orderly like a military force, setting various energy interference and sealing runes, sighed helplessly.
Well, protest ineffective.
He quickly replied to Anya, briefly explaining the situation he was observing now.
Anya’s reply was calm but had a hint of eager anticipation: "I’m almost there. Let’s devise a tactic, I need to know its energy characteristics and your specific location."
"Tsk! Really troublesome..." Jeming took a deep breath, suppressing distracting thoughts, his gaze becoming sharp and focused again.
