Chapter 185: Chapter 185 The Hidden Treasure
It seemed like the universe, yet it was absolutely not as big as one!
Huge stars moved within it, their trajectories creating a fascinating and unique aura in their surroundings.
The stars swirled around, dense yet completely non-interfering.
"This is… the true nature of the colorless energy?" Arthur tilted his head in thoughts he silently muttered to himself. "It's so much larger than I… imagined!"
He had always been able to feel the state of his body but had never really 'seen' it for himself.
He could never have dreamed that the power he relied on so much had such a dimension.
With a thought, the white light instantly surrounded his body, changing its shape according to his will and thoughts.
This power guided Arthur, allowing him to traverse freely between these 'Stars,' suddenly appearing 'above the heavens,' and then dropping into the 'abyss.'
Suddenly, Arthur saw blue mist swirling outside the white light.
With a thought, the entire scene began to shrink, and he soon saw the true nature of the blue mist.
It was a mass of blue light, surrounded by blue particles, with a faint glimmer at the center that was impossible to clearly see.
Arthur thought for a moment before he plunged into the blue light, only to find that the faint glimmer he had seen from a distance had completely disappeared from his view.
Instead, he unexpectedly discovered a white light band embedded within the blue mist, forming a weak junction that continually transformed into the blue mist.
"Is this Spatial Energy?"
Arthur was somewhat stunned as he looked at the white 'light band,' which was his colorless energy.
"There seems to be a subtle connection between colorless energy and blue light. They seem to be forming a kind of… coexistence?"
He frowned while pondering the possibilities: "The blue light must be spatial energy, its color almost identical to the Tesseract. But why can colorless energy transform into spatial energy? Hmm… I did Disassemble some space energy weapons created by Schmidt's people back in the day. Could this be the reason? Because colorless energy inherently has spatial energy properties, it can connect and transform?"
Following this line of thought, Arthur muttered: "And the reason this blue light is blue is due to the residual effects of forcibly disassembling the Tesseract. They didn't go through the 'magic extractor' conversion, so they didn't become colorless energy. The instant teleportation skill I've been using is achieved with this power."
"But…"
Arthur scratched his head: "Colorless energy can transform into spatial energy, so why can't spatial energy transform into colorless energy?"
As this thought arose in his mind, Arthur suddenly felt a wave of dizziness. The next moment, the colorless energy abruptly withdrew from his body, and a massive suction force came from behind him.
He felt himself speeding away from the swirling blue mist and white light and stars became mere specks, growing increasingly distant until they finally disappeared!
"Whew!!!!!!"
Like a drowning person gasping for air, Arthur abruptly opened his eyes and began to breath heavily.
"It's okay, calm down!"
The Ancient One's voice reached his ears: "You need to relax, calm down. Control your breathing…"
After catching his breath, Arthur finally recovered to normal, though his mind still felt a bit dizzy. He shook his head and asked, "Does every meditation session end up like this?"
"No."
The Ancient One thought for a moment before saying, "At least not for us."
"...Then, what about me?" Arthur blinked.
"I don't know." The Ancient One shook her head and said, "You are a completely different individual from us. You will have your own experiences, and nothing from the past can serve as your teacher on this path. Only you can gradually seek out possibilities and forge a path that belongs to you alone."
"…"
'As a teacher, isn't saying something like this a bit irresponsible?' Arthur thought this but didn't voice it out loud and he could only silently grumble in his mind.
"What did you see?" The Ancient One suddenly asked with a curious expression on her face.
"The power that's like the universe… I feel like I'm invincible, you know?" The corner of Arthur's mouth twitched as he spoke.
"Believe me, you're still far from that." The Ancient One considered for a moment and said, "But what you saw should be your own power. You need to understand it, analyze it, feel it, and eventually learn to use it."
Arthur thought for a moment, and a streak of white light appeared in the palm of his hand: "Like this?"
"This is not usage; this is mobilization."
The Ancient One glanced at the white light, then lightly waved her hand in the air. The next moment, the white light turned into flames.
"I'm familiar with this flame," Arthur said. "I could do this from the very beginning."
"What about this?" The Ancient One's fingers moved again, and the flames turned into ice, then into lightning, and finally into a whirlwind…
When everything settled, Arthur spoke with a helpless expression on his face, "Are you using my hand to perform magic tricks?"
"No, I'm just stimulating its inherent properties, altering its characteristics."
The Ancient One said, "Your power doesn't have any precise characteristics, but you can transform it into any imaginable characteristics. To achieve this, you still need more learning. Go ahead, even though you cannot learn the magic of Kamar-Taj, knowledge remains constant. You can freely read any books you wish here."
After a pause, she added, "Finding your own path might be a bit early for you now. Before that, you should try to understand yourself better."
…
…
After parting with the Ancient One, Arthur felt a bit lost.
How did he end up not understanding himself?
However, the colorless energy indeed contained many secrets. After the Ancient One's somewhat vague explanation, Arthur felt that the secrets of this power had only grown more complex.
"Next, perhaps I should focus on understanding myself as much as possible and seek more possibilities."
He took a moment and then thought, "When I use instant teleportation, what changes occur in that blue mist?"
After pondering for a while, he smiled: "I can't stay in Kamar-Taj forever; there are many other things I need to handle. But since I'm here, I'll take this opportunity to dig into some things I didn't know before; there might be unexpected surprises."
"What if I disassemble a few books from the Ancient One's library? What would happen?"
Arthur glanced at the library's direction and then shook his head. Such a reckless approach is definitely not advisable!
