Chapter 419 Feedback

Link awoke from his epiphany.

The Elemental Saint was no longer in the room.

Link thought this was perfectly normal.

Given the rank and status of the Elemental Saint, it is already extremely rare that he would take a little time to personally meet with Link.

How could we possibly waste our time waiting here?

Even if the Elemental Saint might not have come in his true form, but rather sent an avatar, the same principle applies.

Instead of rushing out, Link stood up, sat down in the seat where the Elemental Saint had been, and slowly closed his eyes.

Scenes from their earlier conversation flashed through Link's mind.

Link tries to put himself in the perspective of the Elemental Saint to see himself.

Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly.

Something amazing happened.

When Link tried to do this, the "Great Universe Meditation Method," which had been optimized and iterated upon his advancement to the fifth level of sage, started operating on its own.

The "unity of heaven and man" that we experienced once before at the main campus of Rivosos Academy has descended once again.

The will of the wizarding world arrived just in time.

Time seemed to rewind.

Link had his eyes closed, yet he could clearly see the phantom of himself sitting opposite the Elemental Saint, and he could clearly feel himself merging into the phantom of the Elemental Saint.

During this fusion process, the phantom of the Elemental Saint clearly noticed it, but did not obstruct it. Instead, it smiled slightly at Link and then took the initiative to meet him.

In this way, Link successfully entered the perspective of the Elemental Saint, seeing, hearing, smelling, and touching everything that the Elemental Saint saw, heard, smelled, and touched.

At the same time, Link felt as if he had entered an ocean of elements.

Hmm... it can't be called an elemental ocean; it should be called an elemental plane with countless layers.

Link's gaze was unconsciously drawn to the elemental planes, which had countless layers.

A gaze is also a form of power, and power is reciprocal.

The demons of the abyss always clamor that when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

The elemental plane also possesses this capability.

Just as Link was gazing at the elemental plane, a somewhat familiar gaze suddenly met his eyes, and a somewhat familiar voice rang in his ears.

"Link Grand?"

"Where is my daughter?"

Before he knew it, some distant memories surfaced, and Link recognized the fire elemental spirit who had spoken.

Emily Samantha Daryl Alphlotena.

During an assessment at the academy's main campus, Link travels to a lava world to rescue a severely injured and immobile fire elemental spirit.

That time, the will of the wizarding world in Link's "small world" healed the fire elemental spirit Alfretna's injuries, and then, through Alfretna's womb, the little fire elemental spirit Cornelia was born.

With the intervention of the wizarding world's will, Cornelia chose to follow Link over her birth mother, Alfredna.

At that time, Alfredo, eager to return to the Elemental Plane, declared that she and Link would definitely meet again in the near future, and then left helplessly.

Link had imagined he would meet Alfredo again, but he never expected it to be today, or under such circumstances.

"Cornelia is fine, she's sleeping. Would you like to check on her?"

Emerging from his reverie, Link answered Alfredo's question in a gentle tone.

Regardless of the circumstances, Alphlottna is Cornelia's mother.

When a mother inquires about her child's condition, Link must respect her request and give a positive response.

"certainly."

Alfredo's voice once again echoed across endless time and space, revealing an unwavering will.

Link selectively opened his sea of ​​consciousness, allowing Alfredo to see Cornelia sleeping soundly in the "sun" within the world of human immortal martial arts, in the form of a three-legged golden crow.

The life essence and life form of elemental spirits are completely different from those of humans.

Whether Cornelia is a three-legged golden crow or takes human form is irrelevant to Alfred.

Most importantly, Cornelia's current state of deep sleep is highly inappropriate.

Fire elemental spirits do indeed need to slumber in the "sun," which combines the concepts of fire and light, to promote their growth and development.

However, just as rice seedlings cannot be excessively helped to grow by pulling them up, fire elemental spirits cannot rely too much on dormancy to grow and develop prematurely.

Doing so can indeed lead to a very rapid improvement in one's realm, status, and strength, but it will leave behind very serious hidden dangers.

But then again.

Not every fire elemental spirit can have Cornelia's experience, where she can meet a contracted partner with one and a half "suns" in her childhood, and can enter the "sun" to sleep at any time and for a long time.

There was another point that made Alfredo feel somewhat uneasy.

The upper limit of the Human Immortal Martial Arts World is already the sixth level sage.

In other words, the "sun" in the world of human immortal martial arts can help Cornelia, in her three-legged golden crow form, grow to the rank of a sixth-level sage.

This goes beyond simply forcing growth.

If this continues, Alfredna worries that Cornelia will lose her balance and her mind will not match her strength.

It doesn't matter if she causes trouble, since her contractual partner will share the burden.

It wouldn't be good to hurt or kill yourself.

In an instant, a variety of thoughts flashed through Alfredo's mind, and then she made a decision.

Alphlottna said coldly, "You haven't taken good care of Cornelia. If this continues, she will die."

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect?

Although he didn't raise Cornelia like he did Flandre, Link didn't want to harm Cornelia because of his own actions.

Over the past few years, Link has studied every available resource about elemental spirits, especially fire elemental spirits.

Based on his research, observations of Cornelia, and conversations with her, Link believed that sleeping in the "sun" would help Cornelia's growth and development, which is why he allowed her to sleep all day.

However, Link's understanding of fire elemental spirits is definitely not as good as Alfred's.

Upon hearing Alfredo's words, Link immediately asked, "What do you mean? Is there a specific meaning behind it?"

Alfredo expressed her views and concerns very frankly.

After listening to Alfredo's words, Link couldn't help but reflect.

He couldn't possibly be unaware of the principle of "pulling up seedlings to help them grow."

Why haven't we realized what's going on with Cornelia's situation for so long?

After some reflection, Link came to an answer.

Perhaps it was due to a lack of care for Cornelia, but more importantly, as Master Xu Jing said, he was too hasty.

So much so that they were so anxious that they overlooked such obvious hidden dangers.

"How to solve this?"

After reflecting on it, Link decisively asked Alfredo.

"It's easy, it just depends on whether you're willing to give it up and whether you dare to do it."

Alfredo answered very quickly, so quickly that she frankly told Link that she had already thought it through and was just waiting for Link to ask.

"you say."

Link immediately gave his opinion.

After talking with the Elemental Saint, Link gained a deeper understanding of gains and losses, and the costs that lie between them.

Regardless of whether he was willing or not, Link was willing to do anything as long as it wouldn't cause Cornelia any real or unacceptable harm, and as long as it could compensate Cornelia, within the limits of his abilities.

Alfredo then said, "Let Cornelia enter the 'Sun' in your sea of ​​consciousness to sleep, and I will enter the 'Sun' in your natal world to sleep. I will personally teach Cornelia."

Upon hearing this, Link fell silent.

By selectively opening his sea of ​​consciousness to Alfredo, Link showed Cornelia, who was sleeping in the "Sun" world of the Immortal Martial Arts, and he had no intention of hiding the fact that a small world, still between reality and illusion, was being nurtured in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Quite a few people know about this.

This time, through a combination of time travel and methods left behind by the will of the wizarding world and the elemental saints, he was able to communicate with Alfredo, who was separated by an unknown amount of time and space...

Link had no reason to hide it.

However, letting people know is one thing, letting Alfredo enter her destined world "Sun" to sleep is another.

The two are not equally important, and Link needs to think about it carefully.

Deliberation did not prevent Link from moving Cornelia from the human-immortal martial arts world "Sun" to the small world of his consciousness "Sun".

This change did not wake Cornelia from her sleep; she simply adjusted her sleeping position to adapt to the different sleeping environment.

Flandre, who was busy with a series of changes brought about by the storm sea native to the Wizarding World, was alarmed because the Human Immortal Martial Arts World was anchored to it.

"Master, what happened? Why did you suddenly move Cornelia to a different place to sleep?"

Flandre immediately asked Link a question.

Link shielded Alfredo from view and had a quick but detailed conversation with Flandre, relaying all of Alfredo's words and actions to her. He then asked, "If Alfredo were to enter the 'Sun' world of the Immortal Martial Arts to sleep, could Flandre prevent her from causing trouble?"

"No problem, sir."

Flandre puffed out her small chest and patted it hard. "If she dares to come in, I can control her."

When she said this, Flandre was full of confidence and not at all hesitant.

It's just a level 5 sage-level fire elemental spirit, isn't it?

Flandre shared most of the master's abilities.

Let alone a level 5 sage-level fire elemental spirit, even a level 6 sage-level fire elemental spirit could be beaten to a pulp in a real fight.

Not to mention that the world of human immortals and martial arts is Flandre's absolute home turf.

In the world of human immortal martial arts, Flandre's will is the will of the world/the Heavenly Dao!

Those who follow the natural order live, those who resist perish—this is not just empty talk.

With Flandre's assurance and his own existing confidence, Link no longer hesitated.

Releasing the shield, Link said to Alfredo, "Okay. But how will you enter my natal world?"

Before Alfredo could answer, the Elemental Saint in his phantom form grinned.

A tiny speck of light, no bigger than a sesame seed, appeared out of nowhere and hovered between Link's eyebrows.

Following Link's line of sight, the beam of light shot out an extremely thin beam and landed on Alfredo, who was located in some unknown elemental plane.

Alfredo's figure immediately followed the beam of light upstream, escaping the elemental plane and entering the wizarding world.

Subsequently, under the will of the Elemental Saint, they arrived at this seaside villa.

The scene, as if time had turned back, vanished instantly.

The phantoms of Link and the Elemental Saints were like dreamlike illusions, as if they had never existed.

Link was the first to regain his senses, looking at Alfredo sitting in front of him, and said, "Shall we go now?"

"Let's go now."

Alfredo had nothing to say to Link.

The wizard and the elemental spirit reached a consensus and immediately took action.

Link opened the passage between his sea of ​​consciousness and the world of the Immortal Martial Arts. The fire elemental spirit Alfredo transformed into a ball of fire, which, guided by Flandre, traveled from Link's sea of ​​consciousness into the "Sun" world of the Immortal Martial Arts.

Perhaps it was a matter of adapting to local customs, or perhaps the fire elemental spirits had their own rules, but after Alfredo entered the human-immortal martial arts world "Sun," she also transformed into the form of a three-legged golden crow.

A mother and a daughter, one big and one small, two fire elemental spirits transformed into three-legged golden crows, one sleeping in Link's natal world "Sun", and the other sleeping in Link's sea of ​​consciousness small world "Sun".

There is a natural connection between mother and daughter, and there is a natural link between their natal world "Sun" and their subconscious world "Sun".

With these combined effects, the functions and feedback mechanisms of the natal world and the small world of consciousness become more mature.

The evolution of the small world of consciousness from virtual to real can promote the anchoring and expansion of the natal world in the wizarding world.

The anchoring and expansion of one's natal world in the wizarding world can also promote the evolution of the small world in the sea of ​​consciousness from virtual to real.

From what we've seen so far, Link's chance encounter with Alfredo today has led to some further improvements.

With everything settled, and considering that Master Xujing was still waiting outside the villa, Link decided not to stay any longer.

Link stood up, glanced at the two chairs he had sat in, and turned to leave.

Link arrived at the vehicle, opened the door, got in, started the vehicle, and drove off.

Master Xu Jing rolled up the open car window, turned his head, looked at Link, and said, "You're a little different now."

"What's different?"

As Link maneuvered the vehicle toward the next destination, he asked without turning his head.

"It's different inside and out."

Master Xu Jing looked Link up and down and said with certainty, "You have obtained some benefits from the Elemental Saints."

"kindness."

Link nodded.

This is nothing to hide.

"Don't you want to know why the Elemental Saint would give you this benefit?"

Seeing Link's calm expression, Master Xu Jing naturally posed a question.

"If you're willing to tell me, I'll listen."

Link gave a very natural answer.

Master Xu Jing smiled and said in a calm tone, "Because he took a bit of light from you."

Link turned his head and asked, "What light?"

"The light of life."
