Chapter 166: Fragment of the Law of Purification
Although her mind remained weary, the fatigue in her body quickly dissipated in a hot bath with a temperature of at least forty degrees.
It also allowed Janna’s entire body and mind to relax once again.
"Next comes making up for the two days of missed meditation and comprehending the [Law of Purification]—"
Casually casting a Cleaning Spell to dry the droplets off her body, Janna, now in her pajamas, didn’t even have time to glance at the Miraculous Alchemical Seed placed on her laboratory bench. Instead, she hurriedly sat cross-legged on the bed according to her rigid daily schedule.
The sun had sunk in the west. Gazing at the dusky sky outside the window, Janna no longer delayed and slowly closed her eyes.
"Inhale—exhale—inhale—exhale—"
Even breathing sounds rose from Janna’s mouth and nose.
As she quickly entered the state of meditation, she instinctively activated the [Spirit Phase Travel] talent. Following the positioning coordinates, she smoothly entered the Holy Realm of Heaven—Aden Divine Mountain.
"Dong—dong—dong—"
Along with a series of ethereal bell chimes, Janna, immersed in her comprehension of the [Law of Purification], once again heard the sacred chant that came from the light.
As her understanding of the mystical symbols conveyed through the hymn deepened, a faint and nearly imperceptible transparent light suddenly sprouted from within Janna’s soul.
"Dong—dong—dong—"
She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Janna suddenly felt that the sound of the sacred bell beside her ears grew louder.
Then, the light intensified, and as the transparent light in her soul became more radiant, a speck of light as fine as sand suddenly emerged from the brilliance. Spiraling about like a wisp of firefly light, it unconsciously landed on Janna’s Wizard Tree.
"This is—"
Staring at the faint point of light that had landed on her Wizard Tree, Janna was momentarily stunned. Then a wave of joy like a rising tide swept over her.
"It’s a [Fragment of the Law of Purification]!"
Standing atop the Wizard Tree that rose within her Sea of Soul, apart from the green leaves symbolizing [Witchcraft], the most striking features were the two fruit-shaped [Wizard Talents] growing at the tree's apex.
One shone like a star, the other a vibrant emerald.
And beneath the fruits of [Spirit Phase Travel] and [Plant Affinity], there was another fruit-shaped projection, dim and ordinary—[Fragment of the Law of Growth].
Janna knew that the reason the [Fragment of the Law of Growth] appeared so dim on the Wizard Tree was simply because she had not grasped even a shred of that law.
Below the [Fragment of the Law of Growth], an extremely tiny, almost unnoticeable white flower bud was quietly growing—
This flower bud was the [Fragment of the Law of Purification], germinated only after months of Janna’s study of the [Knowledge of the Law of Purification], and her constant comprehension of the law’s energy patterns near the Sacred Bell in the Holy Realm of Heaven.
Unlike the dead silence of the [Fragment of the Law of Growth], this [Fragment of the Law of Purification], which Janna had personally comprehended, brimmed with vitality and faintly shimmered.
"Although this [Fragment of the Law of Purification] is far smaller in scale compared to the [Fragment of the Law of Growth],
it is more closely connected to me—..."
Exhaling deeply, Janna withdrew from the state of law comprehension as the sound of the bell faded from her ears.
"So this is the Aden Divine Mountain—"
Previously, due to the constraints of the Holy Realm of Heaven’s laws, everything Janna saw in that realm had been a blur.
Aside from indistinct beams of light, she couldn’t clearly see anything else.
It was only from the fragmentary words of the Celestial Finch that Janna had learned that the Sacred Bell was actually located atop the highest snowy mountain in the heavenly range—Aden Divine Mountain.
And now, as she completed her beginner-level comprehension of the [Fragment of the Law of Purification], the scenery of Aden Divine Mountain also took on a relatively clear outline in her spirit realm vision.
"Aph, what’s wrong?"
Janna, who had planned to further appreciate the heavenly mountain landscape, suddenly noticed the Celestial Finch beside her was curled into a ball, eyes shut tight, body trembling.
The previously silky white feathers were now shrouded in a withered gray aura.
"Aph?"
After calling twice and receiving no response, Janna immediately terminated [Spirit Phase Travel] and returned to the Material Plane.
"By my will, I summon—the Celestial Finch."
Accompanied by a flash of milky-white light, the Celestial Finch, still curled and with closed eyes, appeared at the center of the Contract Array in an extremely weakened state.
"It’s not a matter of vitality—"
Gently placing her hand on the Celestial Finch’s body, a layer of emerald light swirled in Janna’s palm.
After the inspection, she found nothing abnormal in its physical condition.
"Buzz—"
After checking for life signs, Janna’s pupils instantly turned silver-white.
As she fully cast the [Mental Perception] witchcraft, Janna finally discovered the anomaly in the Celestial Finch.
"The magical energy field around Aph is strange… it’s like… a vacuum zone has formed—"
After a brief moment of thought and connecting the timing of Aph’s sudden change, Janna quickly chanted a spell and directed the [Wizard's Hand] to retrieve a Source Energy Fragment still coated in soil from a flowerpot.
"Let’s hope this works—"
Holding the Source Energy Fragment lightly in her right palm, Janna manipulated her Spirit Power.
An enormous wave of magic surged out of the fragment like tangible smoke.
As the source energy activated, the Celestial Finch, as if a dying person in the desert spotting water, began frantically absorbing the surrounding magic.
"Whoosh—"
Wind roared as the Celestial Finch’s absorption rate increased rapidly.
Soon, a small magical vortex formed around it.
At the center of the vortex, the Celestial Finch’s curled body gradually began to stretch out. Even the white feathers on its body regained a stunning luster.
"One Source Energy Fragment isn’t enough?"
Looking at the nearly shattered fragment in her palm and the Celestial Finch’s seemingly insatiable hunger for magic,
Janna acted immediately, once again casting [Wizard's Hand] to extract two more Source Energy Fragments from the flowerpot.
"Crack—"
The fragment shattered into powder.
Expecting this, Janna continued to activate the second Source Energy Fragment.
This time, she didn’t even need to guide it. The magic bursting from the second fragment flowed naturally into the vortex, forming a tide of energy that surged into the Celestial Finch’s body.
"Aph’s first evolution is quite the spectacle—"
