The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Moran, Cecia, and Priscilla chatted casually for a while about card draw probabilities, card magic, and the use of the witch's {management card}. After adding each other as {communication card} friends, they politely took their leave and headed towards their own bookshelves deep inside the hall.

She placed the thick volume of her "Cosmic Travel Log," which recorded her experiences exploring the stars, and the detailed "Star Map," marked with countless coordinates of other worlds, safe routes, and dangerous areas, on the bookshelf.

She then turned and began to concentrate on copying the newly placed exploration materials on the other witches' bookshelves.

After a while, Cecilia and Pusilla strolled over to Moran's bookshelf.

When they discovered that there were items on the previously empty bookshelf, they couldn't help but show interest.

"Moran has already traveled to space? That's incredibly fast!"

As Cecilia spoke, she exchanged a glance with Priscilla, and together they took down the thick "Cosmic Travel Log" and began to read it with great interest.

At first, their expressions carried the composure and curiosity of seniors appreciating juniors' travelogues.

However, when the page turned to the section about the "Immortal Realm" and its subordinate Immortal Cultivation Realm and Spirit Realm, the relaxed expressions on their faces vanished instantly, and their expressions gradually became serious.

The accompanying photos, taken by Starry Ark, clearly show the vast boundary membrane of the Celestial Realm, and the dark golden pillars of light extending from the membrane like countless greedy tentacles, piercing into the distant void and connecting to subordinate worlds.

Alongside Moran's calmly written analysis, it is clearly pointed out that these pillars of light are actually channels for plundering the world's origin, and their numbers are so vast that they are difficult to count precisely. This means that an astonishing number of cultivation and spirit realms are facing a crisis of continuous exploitation and near extinction...

“This…” Priscilla took a deep breath, her eyes filled with unbearable sorrow and immense shock, “This world is actually plundering the primal power of so many worlds at the same time!”

Cecilia's fingertips brushed over the dense, unsettling beams of light on the image, his brow furrowed, his tone somber: "Using the alluring lie of 'ascension' as a facade, they are actually plundering the very essence of existence... This world's actions are truly... domineering and cruel."

Her gaze sharpened. "Judging from the solidity of this boundary membrane and the range of its energy radiation, it's at least a level fourteen world!"
"Moran, on his first space voyage, has run into such a behemoth!"

Even the two legendary witches, who had seen much of the world, were astonished by the contents of Moran's journal.

Even knowing that Moran had returned safely, they still couldn't help but feel a lingering fear for the perilous situation this younger generation had faced.

That's a level fourteen world where there might be ninth-tier powerhouses!
The most powerful beings in the Valen world, who have explored the Sky Well and the universe to this day, have only reached the seventh level.

They continued reading with mixed feelings.

When they saw Moran sever the ascension passage, fight and defeat two Dao Ancestors, and finally face the siege of three top Dao Ancestors, not only successfully turning the tables but also rescuing fifteen cultivation worlds that had been plundered by the Immortal Realm and successfully guiding them to transform into magical worlds... Cecilia and Priscilla were not just shocked, but almost stunned.

"What...what is her strength now?"

Cecilia couldn't help but look up, her gaze sweeping among the bookshelves of the Starry Sky Hall, trying to find Moran, only to discover that she had already left sometime earlier.

"It's written here that she used a large number of {Seventh-Order Spatial Blade} cards to sever the ascension passage,"

Pushira pointed to a detail in the log and calmly analyzed, "Only she can create {magic cards}. To be able to use seventh-tier magic cards on such a large scale, she must at least be at the seventh-tier level, right?"

“I’m afraid it’s more than that.” Secia shook his head.

"If you are only at the seventh rank, it would be very difficult to deal with an attack from three opponents of the same rank or even stronger, and to kill them all."

She lowered her head again and read more carefully the part about Moran's battle against the three Dao Ancestors.

Soon, her fingertip stopped on a line of text, a look of surprise and understanding flashing in her eyes:

"Mental magic? Is it the mental magic of a human mage? She's actually skilled in that?"

Priscilla immediately came over to take a look, and the two seniors quickly grasped the key point:

"The log mentions that she used mental magic to control the primordial spirits of the Dao Ancestors in order to subdue them... Even though it mentions that Dao Ancestors in this world generally suffer from a stagnant primordial spirit realm, it is undeniable that in the world of cultivation, as one's cultivation level increases, their primordial spirits also become stronger. To be able to effectively control the primordial spirits of Dao Ancestor level cultivators, and even deal with three of them at the same time, the mental magic she used must be at least at the eighth level!"

Cecilia seemed to recall something, her tone carrying a hint of comparison:
"That guy Nicholas, hasn't he always boasted that he's the number one mental magic user in Valen?"

Has his mental magic reached the eighth level?

Puscella thought for a moment, then gently shook her head, her tone carrying a subtle undertone:

"Him? Last time at the Well of Heaven, when I fought him for the right to explore a level zero world, I couldn't even control my sixth-order primordial spirit, which I had cultivated in an eleventh-order immortal cultivation world. This shows that his spiritual power is at most level six."

"Hey? Moran said here that she has compiled all the cultivation-related knowledge from the memories of Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators and made it into {knowledge cards}. She recommends that witches who are interested in fire, lightning, wood, and ice magic, as well as primordial spirit cultivation and sword techniques can purchase and view them."

Secia discovered another detail and quickly searched for the card in the Witch Edition card shop.

As a result, I accidentally saw the following cards next to me: {Knowledge Card - Eighth-Tier Mage Lightning Magic}, {Knowledge Card - Eighth-Tier Mage Fire Magic}, {Knowledge Card - Eighth-Tier Mage Ice Magic}, {Knowledge Card - Eighth-Tier Mage Wood Magic}, and {Knowledge Card - Eighth-Tier Mage Mental Magic}.

Priscilla also saw it: "This... it's much harder to raise the level of a mage's magic than a witch's magic. Her mage magic in all these elements has reached the eighth level, so her witch magic must be at the eighth level too!"

Cecilia recalled the witch's spatial magic that appeared multiple times in the log, searched for {Magic Card - Eighth-Order Spatial Blade}, and actually found it:

"Her spatial magic is also at the eighth level."

Pushira went straight to the {Magic Card} category and looked at them from the highest to the lowest level: "Even other elemental witch spells have reached the seventh level, and the worst witch spell is at the sixth level! This... is there anyone stronger than her in Valen?"

The two witches remained silent for a moment, both seeing the same shock and disbelief in each other's eyes. (End of Chapter)
