Chapter 355: Chapter 211: Path of Truth
Ron nodded slightly: "Indeed, the ’grace’ I felt from her is quite pure."
He acknowledged this straightforwardly, not needing to pretend in front of Lady Allen.
"It’s not just pure; it has a rare persistence as well."
Lady Allen said thoughtfully, her fingers gently twirling a strand of pink-purple curls:
"Her talent seems to have a cumulative effect. In the long run, this ’grace’ will only beco stronger and more stable, almost like an inexhaustible source."
Ron raised an eyebrow: "You an..."
"She might beco an outstanding Official Wizard in the future."
Lady Allen said directly, with a rare seriousness in her tone:
"Of course, the premise is having the right guide. Only with correct guidance can her talent be fully realized."
A subtle atmosphere flowed between the two of them.
"However, now is not the ti to discuss this."
Lady Allen interrupted the extension of the topic, a flash of solemnity passing through her erald eyes:
"You ca for the ’Keyless Potion’ advancent path, didn’t you?"
Ron nodded frankly: "Yes, I hope to understand more details."
He no longer disguised, directly looking into Lady Allen’s eyes, as his foremost priority was always the thirst for knowledge and power.
Lady Allen took a deep breath.
A complex expression appeared on her face, both reminiscent and vigilant, with a hint of barely perceptible pain.
The witch with pink hair stood up, walked to a bookshelf in the corner of the room, and reached out to take down an ancient manuscript.
The cover of the book had faded due to age, with only a few blurred gilt runes faintly visible.
"This is ’Path of Oblivion,’ recording a long-lost path of advancent - the Path of Truth."
Lady Allen’s voice was low and filled with reverence, as if she were discussing so forbidden object.
Ron’s gaze was drawn to the ancient book; he could feel the faint energy fluctuation emanating from its surface.
It was not ordinary magic power, but a more ancient, deeper force.
"In the early First Epoch, when the profession of Wizards was just born, there was no so-called ’Key’ Potion."
Lady Allen gently stroked the book’s cover:
"At that ti, cultivators completely relied on ditation to establish a direct connection with the power they envisioned, triggering transformation and opening the Gate of Wisdom."
A flicker of surprise crossed Ron’s eyes: "Directly establish a connection? Without a dium?"
"Yes."
Lady Allen slowly opened the ancient book, turning to a page.
On it was a complex star map, with a huge unsettling shadow in the center:
"The ’Star Eater’s Ravings’ you practice is one of the rare Crown Level ditation initiations capable of opening the Path of Truth."
"Crown Level?" Ron raised an eyebrow. He had heard of this ranking from Corina before but hadn’t delved deeply into it.
"ditation techniques have strict levels, each corresponding to different objects of visualization and power strata."
Lady Allen explained, gently brushing a page with her fingers:
"The most basic is the ’Basic ditation Technique’ you used during your Elentary Apprentice period, without any level classification, rely a tool to guide the flow of Spiritual Power."
"Above that are advanced ditation techniques, visualizing relatively simple Spirits of Nature, Elental Essences, etc. When cultivated to the extre, one may reach the level of a Morning Star Mage;
Higher still are Gem Level ditation techniques, visualizing those ancient entities or the unconscious remnants of great beings, capable of breaking through to the Great Wizard level;
And Crown Level ditation techniques, which directly visualize the most powerful entities, can reach the Witch King realm."
Lady Allen’s voice lowered, a flicker of reverence flashing in her eyes:
"It’s said that there are even higher levels of cultivation thods, but those are beyond what we can touch.
The knowledge of such levels carries weight itself, and even ntioning them might trigger disasters."
Ron nodded thoughtfully, gaining a new understanding of the ’Star Eater’s Ravings’ he practiced:
"So, from Gem Level ditation techniques onward, can one obtain ditation technique traits upon promotion?"
"Exactly so." Lady Allen gave Ron an approving glance:
"ditation technique traits are the embodint of spiritual transformation, and a key point distinguishing ordinary wizards from powerful ones.
The traits obtained through the Path of Truth are often purer and more potent than those acquired through ’Key’ Potions."
"This is one reason why so wizards, despite having the sa advancent path, differ vastly in strength."
Lady Allen continued to peruse the ancient book, pointing to an unsettling illustration:
A human figure entangled by countless tendrils, face twisted into an expression of agony:
"The core of ditation techniques is essentially to establish a connection with the envisioned entity through Spiritual Power, absorbing the essence of its strength.
The stronger the envisioned entity, the higher the level of the ditation technique, and the greater the power it brings—but the cost is equally larger."
Ron recalled the great entity devouring stars he saw during his ditation, his body shivering involuntarily:
"So the ’Star Eater’s Ravings’ has
envisioning..."
"Exactly, that entity referred to as the ’Devourer’ in ancient texts."
Lady Allen’s voice got lower:
"Legend says it roams between galaxies, devouring star after star, drawing energy to sustain its existence. No one knows its true purpose, nor its limits."
