Chapter 478 : The Second Portion of the Earth Origin
Chapter 478: The Second Portion of the Earth Origin
"Zzzt—" While Janna was still immersed in the story of 【Isabel】, the sudden crackling of the Spark Sprite flaring up inside the fireplace successfully drew her attention.
"It’s finally here!"
The moment she saw the box abruptly appear amid the flames, Janna almost instantly pulled herself out of her emotions. She put away the 【Strings of Frotenas】 and quickly walked over to the fireplace to retrieve the box.
"I thought it would take much longer for my turn to come, but to think that in just the second month, I actually got selected———"
As she spoke, Janna opened the box and directed her gaze toward the sealed 【Earth Origin】 within.
For the past two months, Janna had been regularly registering her purchase application for 【Source Power】 at the White Tower’s resource exchange counter at the end of each month.
During the first month, perhaps because too many people had applied, Janna hadn’t managed to secure anything.
However, by the second month, she had successfully exchanged for her second portion of 【Earth Origin】.
"Let’s hope I can be this lucky again next month."
With that said, Janna took the 【Earth Origin】 out of the box and immediately activated the consciousness link between herself and 【Zoe Star】. Her spirit form once again descended into 【Zoe Star】.
"Master, you’ve finally returned."
The moment Janna landed, the Celestial Sparrow flapped its wings and “flew” toward her from the leyline.
"Aph, you’ve worked really hard this time."
Seeing the expanded “Purified Land,” Janna sincerely thanked the Celestial Sparrow.
Over the past two months, the Celestial Sparrow had stayed within 【Zoe Star】 almost constantly. Following Janna’s instructions, it diligently burned away the contamination surrounding the leyline using the “Purifying Flame,” ensuring that the newly born “Pure Land” wouldn’t be tainted again.
At the same time, as the true master of 【Zoe Star】, Janna had also been performing “purification” during those two months.
However, her purification wasn’t like the Celestial Sparrow’s cleansing of external contamination. Instead, by harnessing the power of the 【Fragment of the Law of Purification】, she had been attempting to condense 【Purification Origin】—to mend the damaged 【Law Consciousness Group】 within 【Zoe Star】.
During this period, Janna had attended eight consecutive classes of Hephis-Stellar’s 《Law and Plane Studies》.
And it was precisely through these eight lessons that Janna learned the theoretical method of using the power of 【Law Fragments】 to condense 【Source Power】.
Yet, theory was always just theory. When Janna actually began practicing, she quickly realized how difficult it truly was.
First, to use 【Law Fragments】 to condense 【Source Power】, one of the most important prerequisites was that the apprentice needed to have a deep enough understanding of the fragment they possessed.
Secondly, they needed to gradually adapt to their identity as a “Plane Lord,” being able to partially control the 【Falling Star】’s 【Law Consciousness Group】.
However, at the early stage of practice, Janna hadn’t even managed the first requirement—achieving sufficient comprehension of her 【Law Fragment】.
After all, judging from her progress, the comprehension rate of the 【Fragment of the Law of Purification】 was only 5%, ranking second to last—even lower than that of the 【Fragment of the Law of Beauty】.
Thus, throughout this period, Janna had been training frequently with the power of the 【Fragment of the Law of Purification】 to gradually increase her comprehension.
Her targets for practice were not only the most heavily polluted lands of 【Zoe Star】, but also simulations of the Celestial Sparrow’s “Purifying Flame.”
This technique was one of the methods taught by Hephis-Stellar in 《Law and Plane Studies》.
For a wizard apprentice to quickly raise their comprehension of a 【Law Fragment】, apart from mechanical repetition, they could also enter a plane related to that law, slay the creatures native to that plane, and obtain Source Energy Fragments to aid their enlightenment of the 【Law】.
Of course, there was also a faster way—to exchange for a portion of 【Source Power】 corresponding to the same law, then destroy it. By doing so, one could use the pure 【Law】 energy released during the destruction to create the most ideal environment for enlightenment.
However, for most apprentices, this method was far too extravagant to even consider.
Not only was 【Source Power】 extremely expensive, but the exchange rate at the resource center was so low that it deterred many would-be buyers.
Moreover, most apprentices who obtained 【Source Power】 would immediately use it to repair the 【Falling Star】—they would never bear to waste it.
So, when Janna first heard of this method, she decisively abandoned the idea.
In the end, the only options left to her were frequent practice and attempting to acquire Source Energy Fragments…
"Aph, unleash the Holy Flame."
"Yes, Master."
A ball of golden fire spewed from the Celestial Sparrow’s beak. Immediately, Janna summoned her purifying power to wrap around it, preventing the flame from extinguishing.
"Aph, your control over the Holy Flame is getting more refined."
Watching the golden flame bloom like a lotus in her palm, Janna smiled and praised her.
"Thank you for your praise, Master. Aph was only able to improve this quickly thanks to the Light Essence you granted me."
As Janna’s most hardworking contracted creature, she had never been stingy with Aph’s rewards—especially since the Celestial Sparrow had tirelessly purified the contamination within 【Zoe Star】 for her. Janna had shown her “favoritism” to the fullest.
Besides the top-grade Light Essence Aph had mentioned, Janna had also supplied her with numerous high-quality light-elemental magic stones—almost as if they cost nothing—so that she could use them whenever she ran low on magic power—
"Zzzt—"
Gazing at the blazing Holy Flame in her palm, Janna once again closed her eyes and immersed her consciousness into the sacred fire.
【Holy Realm of Heaven】—the sacred land worshipped by all light-elemental beings—was home to creatures that, without exception, possessed some degree of purification or light-related 【Law】 abilities.
The Celestial Sparrow, for example—though it had originally been only a low-ranked light-elemental spirit before its evolution—still possessed a purification ability exceedingly rare even in the 【Primary Material World】.
And after its evolution, the Holy Flame it cast contained purification power so pure that it could rival the potency of Source Energy Fragments—
