Chapter 3 Completed: Spiral Tree of Life Meditation Method
The unsuspecting old man in front of the experimental table was instantly engulfed by the lightning, along with Luo Ang himself.
"How is this possible!" In a daze, Luo Ang seemed to hear the old man's incredulous wail.
A moment later, the lightning dissipated.
Only three charred 'corpses' remained in the laboratory.
After a long while, the corpse lying on the experimental table suddenly exhaled a puff of black smoke, and its chest began to rise and fall slowly, then more and more violently.
After a dozen or so breaths, Luo Ang slowly climbed up from the experimental table, covered in charred soot, and kicked the two corpses below.
They didn't budge an inch.
Clearly, they died completely under that thunderous attack.
"ha!"
"ha!"
"Hahaha!"
"Hahahaha!"
Seeing this, Luo Ang finally couldn't help but bend over and laugh out loud, panting. Then, he found an axe in the laboratory and chopped off the heads of the two corpses, completely cutting off their chance of 'coming back to life'.
After chopping off both charred heads, Loen finally realized the pain originating from his body.
This was a thunderbolt technique released almost face-to-face, and as expected, it killed the old man and the old dog with its powerful force.
Koloon himself was still too close to the Thunderclap Technique, and he was also affected by it.
Fortunately, this Thunderclap Technique originated from his own magic and spiritual power.
At the same time, the bloodline of the White Eagle within him gives him a certain degree of control over and resistance to the power of thunder.
This is what allowed him to survive the lingering effects of the Thunderclap Technique.
When Luo Ang finally understood all this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"Once a spell is cast, its power is indiscriminate, regardless of friend or foe!"
"I must remember to keep a safe distance when casting spells in the future," Luo Ang reminded himself as he checked his current situation.
His injuries looked serious, but in reality, they were just superficial wounds.
The power of the thunder was blocked outside his bloodline, and his internal organs were all unharmed.
"The only problem is the heart."
Loon carefully touched the tube in his chest.
This is no ordinary thing, but a peculiar creation of a wizard—it is inside the body, and does not penetrate directly through the heart.
Instead, near the heart, countless root-like things extended out, enveloping Lo'ang's heart like countless capillaries growing out of it.
Despite the thunderous attack, this thing remained undamaged.
"I need to go to the old man's library and see what this is." Luo Ang pondered, then suddenly felt a wave of confusion.
For the past three years, his biggest goal has been to kill this old man and escape from this beacon of prosperity.
But now that the old man is really dead, Luo Ang doesn't know what to do.
Escape?
Where can we escape to?
Should we return to our own territory?
Now that the old man is dead, will other people come forward to investigate?
If we investigate further, will our own family's territory be destroyed?
"The library!"
"Yes, let's go to the library first and gather information about this old man." Luo Ang quickly came up with an idea.
As for the injuries on his body... with the powerful vitality brought by his bloodline, these injuries are not a big problem.
As long as he gets enough nutrition, he will recover on his own in a few days.
Thinking about all this, Luo Ang endured the pain and slowly stepped out of the laboratory.
After checking the door leading to the dungeon and confirming that it was securely locked, Loon continued toward the old man's library.
A wizard's robe was hanging in front of the library. Loon took it off and put it on.
The library has many books, but the vast majority of them are the old man's experimental records.
The titles on the bookshelf revealed the direction of the old man's research over the years.
At first, he was researching all kinds of bloodlines, which was chaotic and confusing, and his purpose was unclear.
But for the past three years, his research has focused on exploring the bloodline of the White Eagle.
Clearly, the materials he studied all came from Loen.
Luo Ang wasn't in a hurry to look at the experimental records; instead, he went over the bookshelf and continued searching.
He was looking for meditation techniques.
The old man's nature was extremely cunning—he seemed to have met someone before who had secretly completed the meditation method, become an apprentice, and then disappeared.
Therefore, the meditation methods he later passed on to his apprentices were only half complete.
In meditation, the missing final element is like a bottle being filled with water but without a stopper.
Those who have reached the critical point in practicing this meditation method, if they do not have that final part to support them in continuing to meditate and become a true wizard apprentice, will be able to clearly feel the "overflow" of their own soul power during meditation. This feeling of loss will make them extremely uncomfortable and will also cause them to exhibit abnormal behavior.
In this way, those who have reached the critical point in their cultivation will all actively seek out the old man...
Even Luo Ang himself, if he hadn't gotten used to the feeling of blood loss, and if he hadn't been able to replicate the runes of the Thunderclap Technique during meditation to consume the 'overflowing' soul power, he would definitely have been exposed in front of the old man.
In this way, the old man kept a firm grip on the progress of all the apprentices in the lighthouse.
Soon, Loon found what he was looking for.
Spiral Tree of Life Meditation.
When meditating, one should regard the infinite mystery as the earth, and then use one's spiritual power to draw two seeds on the earth.
Two seeds, one is the physical body, and the other is the soul.
After the two seeds are traced, they are planted in the ground, and the person becomes a first-class wizard apprentice.
The most important step in this process is the one where the seed is "planted"—without this step, everyone can sense the seed withering during meditation.
"I see." Luo Ang slowly unrolled the scroll that recorded the meditation method.
At the very beginning of the scroll was written a sentence: Only one wizard can stand before another.
Looking at the contents of the scroll, Loen realized another problem.
What these apprentices were missing from their practice of the Spiral Tree of Life meditation was not the final step, but the very first step!
The Spiral Tree of Life meditation method requires, at the very beginning of visualization, to sense the mystery and regard this mystery as the earth.
Once the mystical state in this visualization has stabilized, then it's time to trace the runes and condense the seed—once the seed is successfully condensed, it will naturally fall into the earth, without needing the step of 'sowing' at all.
Similarly, since this step never actually exists, it is completely impossible for those who reach the critical point, even if they are exceptionally talented, to complete this step on their own.
"What a treacherous old man!" Luo Ang looked at the scroll and, following its guidance, began meditating again.
His meditation had already reached its critical point, and his mental strength was already sufficient.
Now, the right path is laid out before him once again.
And so, everything fell into place.
A vast and boundless mystery unfolded in Luo Ang's perception, transforming into an all-encompassing earth.
Then, his spiritual power flowed across the land, outlining runes stroke by stroke.
When the rune was completed, his soul and his life force collapsed.
The two seeds, corresponding to the soul and the body respectively, naturally formed and fell into the earth.
First-class wizard apprenticeship, already achieved!
