Chapter 5, Lying Down in Contemplation

Recite the incantation

The level of magic

Alright, let's go to sleep

What I did not know was that I inadvertently gained the recognition of the Light Element. On the continent, every mage practicing magic feels the surrounding elements and forcibly gathers them to gradually increase their magical power. As their magical power strengthens, they deepen their mental strength step by step to achieve their cultivation goals. However, I did not wish to meditate; in my laziness, I only thought about how to increase my magical power without exerting effort, so naturally, I did not force the elements to gather around me. When I communicated with the Light Element, my innocence was revealed, and surprisingly, the Light Element recognized me. From then on, the speed at which I gathered magic and restored it would be more than three times that of an ordinary person, and I truly became friends with the Light Element.

That's great, by practicing this way, I can increase my magical power without the need for arduous contemplation in the future

Thus, my daily schedule consists of waking up early, having breakfast, arriving at the classroom to begin contemplation (sleep), returning home in the evening for dinner, and then starting contemplation again

I was overjoyed, finally liberated. However, the next sentence from Teacher Xiu sent me back to hell.

Every time I meditate, I feel increasingly close to the element of light; it is as if they are my elders, caring for me with meticulous attention. I am like their child, playfully nestled in their embrace every day

Upon arriving at the library located in the northeast corner of the academy, I browsed through numerous books on meditation and finally found what I was looking for. Ha, I am finally liberated. I was flipping through an old yellow-covered book I had just discovered in a corner, which appeared to be quite ancient. Upon checking the author, I was surprised to find it was written by a light magic master over 150 years ago. The book stated that as long as one can sense the magical elements to be gathered, any posture is acceptable. It provided several examples, including those meditating while lying down and those meditating while sitting.

After returning home and having dinner, I went back to my own room

Is it not good? It seems you really put in some effort yesterday, come with me

Basic meditation methods are included in the foundational knowledge. I believe you already know how to proceed. Meditation also involves certain techniques. You can go to the library to look up books and find your preferred meditation method; this should yield better results. When I return, I will begin teaching you the specific use of magic

Hurry home, you must be hungry. Seeing you work so hard makes Mom really happy! Little does Mom know that my teacher isn't even here; I just took a nap for a day. Haha, this is great, from now on I can practice sleeping every day.

In the name of my longbow, may the light of the elemental force illuminate everything before your friends

It is better to sleep by lying down and meditating, as this way of sleeping is very refreshing

You have a basic understanding of longbows, but you must continue to enrich yourself in the future. Do you know what determines the power of magic?

Mother, what brings you here?

... ...

Nonsense. Teacher Xiu gave me a slap on the head

I truly am a genius, having come up with such a great idea. Hehe, I can't help but indulge in my own delight. By the way, my magical power has increased, so shouldn't my magical strength be better as well? Let's give it a try. I extend my hand

Then we will be good friends from now on

During meditation, one must concentrate and feel the elements of light in nature, striving to absorb them. In this way, your mental strength will gradually increase. During the time I am away, you must spend at least 8 hours here each day. Do you understand? If I return and your mental strength does not meet my expectations, heh heh ...

I feel a warm emotion enveloping me

After my father's guidance, I have finally grasped the basic knowledge of magic.

Are you beings of light? I asked in the spiritual realm

To be able to use advanced magic at hetushu.com, one must have strong mental power as a support; otherwise, your foundational knowledge will be in vain. The best way to increase mental power is through meditation. Starting today, for the next 3 months, you are to meditate every day. Tomorrow, I will be going to the capital and may return in about 3 months

Teacher Xiu threatened with a stern face

I felt all the points of light splitting into fine strands of light, converging at my brow. A warm energy enveloped me, and if someone were present at that moment, they would surely see a faint white glow surrounding me. This lasted for a long time; I couldn't tell how long. Gradually, I sensed that I had formed a channel of communication with these light elements through my brow, and my whole body felt warm. Unconsciously, I fell asleep.

Although the devil has departed, I still cannot feel the beauty of the year 1949. How can I enhance my mental strength without such trouble? It seems that I can only go to the library to take a look.

This morning, as soon as I arrived, Teacher Xiu conducted an assessment on me. Although I cannot say that I answered fluently, I managed to respond adequately. Hehe, my efforts were not in vain; I won't have to run long distances today. I finally passed this hurdle set by Old Xi.

Returning to the classroom where I was alone (that small bungalow), I lay on the ground as instructed in the book, embracing the unity of the universe, feeling the light elements in the air. Gradually, I sensed many tiny points of light surrounding me, giving me a feeling of tolerance and kindness, just like the feeling of being held by my parents, so comforting

Thus, the Child of Light created his unique method of meditation, which later became the fundamental source of his boundless magical power when he became the Grand Sorcerer

As I recite my incantation, I feel a warm energy converging from my forehead, flowing together with the magical energy within me towards my outstretched hand. A white sphere of light forms in my hand, emitting a gentle glow that, while bright, is not at all glaring.

Hello, uncles and aunts of the Light Element, I am Chang Gong. Can I play with you in the future

Listening to the devil's words, my heart has grown cold; sitting for 8 hours every day is enough to drive me mad

"Longbow, the teacher's major is indeed spatial magic. Although I am merely a grand magician, I can still manage to teleport back instantly. If I catch you slacking off during my surprise inspection, then you can just wait to become the national long-distance running champion."

Once again, a wave of warmth

Wow, the effect is so good! In the past, I could only produce a little light in my palm. Yes, it's amazing; my illumination spell has reached its best effect. I feel energy continuously flowing into the light sphere in my hand, maintaining its brightness, while light elements are constantly surging in from my forehead, showing no signs of depletion in my internal magical and bibliomancy energy. This is the astonishing recovery speed of my magical power.

Mother is almost dying of anxiety, what time is it and you still haven't come home? I just went to the school to look for the principal, and the principal said you should be attending class here. Don't study too hard, or you'll fall asleep.

I can lie down and meditate; for someone as lazy as I am, lying down and sitting are completely different concepts, haha, that's great

I do not know how long it has been, but I felt someone pushing me. As I groggily opened my eyes, I was surprised to see it was my mother

Three months have passed, and through my continuous "efforts," the magical power within me has gradually increased, with the light sphere having grown five times larger.

Ah! I just looked outside and realized it is already evening, but I feel as if I have only just lain down for a short while. It seems that this kind of meditation is indeed very beneficial. I quietly checked my magical power, and to my surprise, the little bit of magical energy I had has significantly increased, transforming into a small orb of light. Wow, the effect is so remarkable, this is wonderful

Under his gaze, I closed my eyes on the mat and began my journey of meditation

I followed Teacher Xiu to a small bungalow in the back yard of the academy. Is this where I learn magic?

How can one cast advanced magic

I used the only magic I know—Illumination Magic

Alright, you may begin your contemplation
