Chapter 463 Magic Song


    Jonathan retrieved a magic gem belonging to Moose from his storage ring. The gem emitted a radiant


    golden glow and had a translucent appearance. As Jonathan held the gem in his hand, he began to


    form a connection with it.


    It was akin to the sensation of holding a crystal ball, although, unlike a magic gem, it doesn''t possess


    actual magical properties. While a crystal ball allowed one to peer into magic elements in the distant


    realm, the magic gem brimmed with Moose''s spiritual energy.


    Since the spiritual energy in the magic gem served to replenish the spiritual energy within the cerebral


    domain, it was expected that both spiritual energies would align. Jonathan quickly became aware of the


    contents of the magic gem.


    It emanated an extremely concentrated essence of the light element, so dense that it seemed on the


    verge of solidifying.


    If the light elements in the air could bepared to wine, then the essence within the magic gem


    would be akin to the purest form of wine, capable of transforming water into wine with a mere drop.


    At that moment, realization washed over Jonathan, illuminating his understanding of how spiritual


    energy functioned within the cerebral domain.


    Heprehended that he needed to produce primal spiritual energy and transform his cerebral domain


    into a productive force.


    Dragons, by nature, relied on their inner essence ball to achieve this, while humans tapped into the


    elements within their cerebral domain to manipte the elements of the external world.


    The weight of this realization overwhelmed Jonathan as he became aware of the challenges and


    complexities involved in bing a skilled magician.


    “What''s wrong? Is it too difficult?” Torrence couldn''t help but inquire, noticing the frown on Jonathan''s


    face.


    Yeverie, too, turned toward Jonathan, concern evident on her face.


    Jonathan responded with a bittersweet smile, saying, “Even though the Holy Dragon has taught me


    dragon magic, their physiology differs from ours. My current challenge lies in harnessing the primal


    spiritual element within my cerebral domain.”


    Surprised, Torrence interjected, “I vaguely recall there being a mnemonic chant for novice magicians. It


    gained poprity in Moranta.”


    Intrigued, Jonathan eagerly inquired, “What chant is that?”


    Torrence replied, “It''s called the ''Ode to Joy.'' It goes like this.” He began to hum the melody. “Magic,


    magic, so wondrous, so mystical. My mother said I''ll understand it all as long as my heart remains pure


    and kind.”


    Jonathan''s expression darkened as he wondered if Torrence was merely joking with a nursery rhyme.


    However, Jonathan had enough guile to withhold his interruption and let Torrence finish the song.


    Torrence continued, “I asked my mother what magic is. She told me that magic is like a seed. If you


    carry the essence of magic within your heart, you can unlock the door to its power. That day, I had a


    dream. In my dream, I encountered a seven-tiered pagoda. As I ascended its stairs and reached the


    center, I witnessed a vibrant and sparkling starry sky. I leaped into the sky and found myself


    surrounded by an array of colors, and some were demons, others were angels. I witnessed both


    delectable feasts and the torments of hell. My mother said that if magic resides within my heart, I will


    gain ess to the gateway of magic.”


    Jonathan soon realized that there were hidden messages and insights embedded within the lines of the


    rhyme.


    After Torrence finished singing, Jonathan immediately inquired, “Whates next?”


    To his surprise, Torrence replied, “That''s it!”


    “What? You''re not joking, are you? How can the song end like that? What does the seven-tiered


    pagoda represent?” Jonathan bombarded him with questions.


    “I don''t know. I''ve never really thought about it. It''s just a nursery rhyme that adults often sing to their


    children to help them fall asleep. You don''t seriously believe this rhyme can help you harness primal


    spiritual energy, do you?” Torrence questioned.


    “Of course, don''t you see? The meaning behind the dream is to achieve focus and calmness in the


    mind. Visualize the seven-tiered pagoda within your thoughts, and imagine ascending its stairs. It


    symbolizes the ascent of the human spirit. When you reach the top, you take a leap. Do you


    understand what that leap signifies?” Jonathan responded.


    “What?” Torrence was taken aback by Jonathan''s rapid questioning.


    Yeverie, too, was bewildered by the sudden intensity of the conversation.


    Jonathan rubbed his forehead and exined, “Torrence, I can''t believe how dense you are! That''s why


    I''m the chosen one, and you''re just an observer. The leap signifies the out-of-body experience.”


    Torrence was left speechless. “Fair point.”


    Jonathan then engaged in deep contemtion, realizing the potential dangers of attempting an out-of-


    body experience in the main world where elements were absent. However, it seemed to him that he


    could potentially safeguard his spirit using his close bond with the elements over in Moranta.


    “That means I don''t really have to understand the meaning of the seven-tiered pagoda. I just need to


    have an out-of-body experience,” Jonathanmented.


    At that moment, Yeverie spoke up. “Then what does the second part of the rhyme mean? I found


    myself surrounded by an array of colors; some were demons, others were angels. I witnessed both


    delightful feasts and tormenting hells. My mother said that if magic resides within my heart, I will gain


    ess to the gateway of magic.”


    Stunned, Jonathan replied, “That part means that once your spirit leaves your body, you will enter a


    vulnerable state, where your inner demons will manifest. During this phase, the forces of darkness will


    attempt to tempt you. If you are not strong enough to resist their lure, you risk losing yourself. Having


    magic in your heart means you must remain steadfast, staying true to your original intention. By doing


    so, you will be able to ess the gateway of magic after absorbing the essence of the elements.”


    “You have a keen eye, Mr. Lawson,” Yeverie praised sincerely, a sense of realization washing over her.


    Jonathan chuckled modestly and remained silent. He was already familiar with the principles of


    cultivating magic, but his immediate challenge was to achieve an out-of-body experience.


    The path to mastering magic was intricate and precise, and without proper guidance, one could easily


    lose themselves in the process.


    Fortunately, Jonathan had a solid foundation in internal-style martial arts, which allowed him to learn


    magic on his own.


    At that moment, Jonathan focused his mind and began to search his memories for everything rted to


    dragon magic. He scoured his mental archives, hoping to uncover clues or hints that could shed light


    on the out-of-body experience.


    Unfortunately, he came up empty-handed.


    However, Jonathan was not one to easily admit defeat. Determined, he took a deep breath and settled


    into a cross-legged position. With determined focus, Jonathan expanded his thoughts beyond the


    boundaries of the seven-tiered pagoda, giving free rein to his imagination.


    It carried him to the magnificent heights of Mount Goliath, where his vivid mental images transformed


    into a tangible reality.


    This was one of the remarkable abilities of practitioners of internal-style martial arts, to turn imagination


    into tangible results. For instance, they could train themselves to feel their hair standing on end by


    simply visualizing themselves under attack. They also had the power to make their blood automatically


    condense when they imagined their hands burned, along with other astonishing feats.


    These extraordinary powers were cultivated through the practice of internal-style martial arts.


    At that particr moment, Jonathan found himself imagining standing atop Mount Goliath.


    He had visited Mount Goliath in the past, unaware of its connection to the Demon Emperor.


    On that asion, he had ascended to the peak of the mountain to witness the breathtaking spectacle


    of the sunrise, the billowing clouds, and the expansive sea below.


    He envisioned himself standing atop the mountain peak, overlooking the abyss below.


    He imagined himself rooted in ce, unmoving, and with time, he began to sense the genuine feeling


    of being at the summit of Mount Goliath.


    The crisp air brushed against his skin, signaling the reality of his imaginative world. Looking down, he


    gazed into the abyss, its depths obscured by clouds, leaving the mystery of whaty below.


    With one more step, he teetered on the edge of the abyss, facing the possibility of falling and shattering


    into countless fragments. Yet, Jonathan was not one to retreat. Determined and resolute, he clenched


    his teeth and summoned the courage to take a leap of faith.


    And in that exhrating moment, a sensation of weightlessness enveloped him as if he had be as


    light as a feather.


    It was an extraordinary and awe-inspiring experience. Following this ethereal transition, Jonathan felt


    as if he was traversing through the vastness of the sea, the undting waves making it difficult for him


    to maintain his bnce.


    He was fully immersed in the out-of-body experience he had sought.


    However, Jonathan understood the importance of remaining vignt and not letting his guard down.


    There was no time for jubtion or celebration. He swiftlyposed himself and summoned his inner


    strength to ground himself.


    After what felt like an eternity, Jonathan nced downward and discovered that he was indeed


    suspended in mid-air; while his physical body remained seated in a cross-legged position on the


    ground.


    Jonathan recognized that achieving an out-of-body experience in the main world was not a simple task.


    The physical body and the spirit were intricately intertwined in that realm. However, in this ethereal


    state, things seemed much more straightforward. The external world appeared less daunting from this


    vantage point.


    In the main world, the maic fields, particles, and various substances were akin to sharp des,


    capable of instantly extinguishing a detached spirit.


    Jonathan redirected his thoughts and focused on other matters as he gathered his senses and


    surveyed his surroundings.


    As anticipated, the elements surrounding him began to radiate with vibrant and diverse colors.


    As the elements floated around him, Jonathan maintained an unwavering focus on his original


    intention, ensuring that his inner demons had no power to sway his thoughts.

    Suspended in the ethereal realm, he sensed a profound connection with the elements that surrounded


    him, a connection that stemmed from his identity as an Omni-Element Magician.


    Silencing his mind and attuning himself to the subtle emotions emanating from the elements, Jonathan


    sought out a floating light element that caught his attention.


    With deliberate intention, he centered his thoughts and began to forge a deep connection with the light


    element.


    The light element exuded emotions that were pure and untainted. As an Omni-Element Magician,


    Jonathan possessed the ability tomunicate with these light elements. Sensing his intention to


    absorb their essence, the light element swiftly moved toward him. In turn, the surrounding light


    elements gathered around Jonathan''s ethereal form, gradually blending with his spirit.


    As the light elements permeated his being, Jonathan experienced a profound sensation of warmth and


    contentment, enveloped in a soothing andforting embrace.


    Before long, he had absorbed all the avable light elements present in the surrounding space. He


    sensed his spirit being embraced by the light elements, giving rise to a radiant sphere of light within


    him.


    This sphere of light revolved slowly, reminiscent of the Earth''s rotation on its axis.


    Intuitively aware of the forting events, Jonathan abruptly opened his eyes.


    In that very instant, his physical body exerted a powerful force, forcefully drawing his spirit back into its


    vessel.


    Jonathan sensed the presence of the spinning sphere of light within his mind, embodying the true


    essence of the light elements.


    It served as a potent catalyst andmunicator.


    “How is it?” Torrence and Yeverie anxiously inquired, concerned.


    Jonathan extended his hand and attempted to manifest his conviction, harnessing what could be


    referred to as spiritual energy.


    Having absorbed all the avable light elements in the surrounding air, he understood that light


    elements were abundant, akin to the air one breathes. As long as the space they upied was not


    completely sealed, new air would replenish the room once the existing air had been depleted.


    With unwavering focus, Jonathan concentrated his efforts on forming a sphere of light in his palm.


    Therefore, at that moment, a wondrous phenomenon unfolded.


    A golden sphere of light began to materialize in Jonathan''s grasp.
