The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 393 Sky Meditation Diagram

Only mages with relatively high initial spiritual strength have the ability to further cultivate meditation techniques.

Many monks simply lack the ability to practice a second meditation method, so the choice of the first meditation method is crucial.

Mages who truly possess high initial spiritual power and a high affinity for various elemental forces learn multiple elemental meditation techniques. This allows them to reap the benefits of elemental meditation without worrying about being restricted by a particular magical school. They don't just learn one technique, "Sky Meditation."

After reading it, Moran felt even more strongly that "Sky Meditation" was the most suitable meditation method for her.

Her limitless magical talent means that her affinity for any magical energy is limitless.

Unlike mages, there's no issue with affinity; you don't have to worry about insufficient affinity preventing you from harnessing elemental energy and casting spells.

If her mental potential is good, she can add other meditation methods to the "Sky Meditation Method" as needed.

Moran also showed this part of the content to Lilith and the others:
"Learn the Sky Meditation Method! Although you're not interested in mage magic now, what if you suddenly want to learn it later? Besides, learning this won't affect which school of mage you pretend to be."

You don't want your personalities to be subtly changed by elemental meditation techniques, do you? We can all learn the same meditation method and exchange learning experiences!

"Elemental meditation techniques have this side effect?" Vasida quickly put the "Earth Meditation Technique" back; she didn't want to become more and more honest and simple-minded due to the influence of earth elemental power.

Lilith felt the same way: "I only like the intensity of fire elemental power, not its impulsiveness and irritability."

“While I like the properties of wood elemental power, I also like other elemental powers,” Sylph said.

In the end, they all came to read this book, "The Sky Meditation Method".

They all used the transcription technique, each copying a portion into their own witch's book, and then studied it together.

The Sky Meditation Method consists of two steps.

Step 1: Find a comfortable position and relax your body.

Moran, Vasita, Sylph, and Lilith all lay down simultaneously.

They all felt that lying down was the most relaxing position for their bodies.

Step 2: Carefully look at "Sky Meditation Diagram 1", memorize it, and then close your eyes and visualize and trace "Sky Meditation Diagram 1" in your mind.

Four witch books floated above their heads as they looked at the "Sky Meditation Diagram 1" in the books.

In the blue sky, a white cloud floats by. On the ground, there is a stone with a torch stuck in it.

That's all for "Sky Meditation Diagram 1".

Moran glanced at it casually, but remembered it.

Then close your eyes and visualize drawing "Sky Meditation Diagram 1" in your mind.

With her photographic memory, why would she need to describe anything?
As soon as Moran closed her eyes, the image appeared in her mind like a photocopy, with every detail exactly the same.

According to the book, the process of visualization and depiction is a process of mobilizing and training mental power.

The patterns in one's mind are drawn by mental energy.

The more complex the pattern you visualize, the more it trains your mental strength, and the faster you can control it.

Once you can visualize all the details of a meditation image at once and without forgetting them, you can then visualize the next image.

Moran was somewhat puzzled. The pattern was complex and detailed, and she could visualize it in one go without forgetting it. What feature was different from the memories in her mind?

They're practically identical!
One was a drawing in a book, and the other was her memory.

If this is meditation, then isn't she meditating every day, all the time?

But she didn't feel that she could sense the presence of spiritual power!
Moran opened her eyes and continued looking back, trying to see what was going on.

It turned out that the entire book of meditation methods was filled with "sky meditation diagrams" at the end. With each additional digit in the number, the diagrams became more complex and incorporated more elements than the previous ones.

She memorized it at a glance, unlike what the book described, where one had to memorize and visualize each image one by one.

She simply flipped to the very end, where the last meditation image was a large, unfoldable picture.

The meditation image depicts the sun, moon, and stars, as well as grasslands, forests, streams, rivers, rocks, volcanoes, glaciers, and oceans. It even shows traces of wind, with one half under a bright, sunny sun and the other half with the moon hidden in the clouds and lightning flashing.

It is indeed much more detailed and complex than the first picture, but for Moran, it's just a matter of looking at it for a while longer.

Behind this meditation image is a text that says:
"This meditation image is the last one for the sky meditation, but it is not the end of the sky meditation method."

After visualizing this image, the mage gains the ability to visualize any natural element beneath the sky. They can use the real world as a blueprint to expand upon the meditation pattern, making it more realistic and detailed.

Memories of Earth flashed through Moran's mind.

It contains not only memories of civilization, but also memories of the natural scenery of the blue planet.

According to the "Sky Meditation Method," the closer the meditation image is to reality and nature, the better the meditation effect.

However, the more mental energy is required, the more mental strength is needed.

What knows us better than the world itself?

Then wouldn't the natural memories of Earth in her mind be the best "sky meditation map"?
Although Blue Star is not Valen, the simple line drawing-like pattern in this "Sky Meditation Method" meditation diagram cannot be considered representative of Valen!

Matter itself is a manifestation of natural energy.

Moran can now readily conjure up a world-scale "sky meditation map" in his mind, encompassing changes in day and night, weather, and even topography.

Logically speaking, this is already the highest level of meditation.

But where is her spiritual power?

She went through the "Sky Meditation Method" word by word again, focusing her attention on the sentence "draw meditation patterns with mental power".

If the meditation patterns are depicted by mental energy, then isn't mental energy actually the foundation that makes up her memories?

Moran then searched through the books that Della's grandmother had sent and found a book on the theory of spiritual power: "The Origin of Spiritual Power".

It states: "Spiritual power is the wisdom power originating from the soul, and it is the source of spirituality."

Every intelligent being possesses spiritual power, but only humans can gradually control their spiritual power through meditation.

Because humans are the most intelligent and spiritual beings. Only humans, from birth, possess active and freely controllable spiritual power, that is, initial spiritual power.

Starting with initial spiritual energy, humans can gradually gain control over more of the spiritual energy contained within their souls through meditation.
