Wizard: I Have a Cultivation System

Chapter 590: Chapter 34: Celestial Phenomenon Law

Two flowers bloomed, each on its own branch.

The sunlight in the courtyard painted the blue-gray flagstones a warm, golden hue.

Murphy quietly watched Martha and her daughter.

Martha kept her head down, clutching Lina tightly, her body trembling slightly.

Lina buried her face in her mother’s shoulder, occasionally stealing a timid glance before quickly hiding her face again.

A sudden wave of apathy washed over Murphy.

He shouldn’t have been capable of such an emotion, especially not in this clone, a body with far fewer emotions and far more Rationality.

But for some reason, the thought of "being alive" caused this feeling to spread uncontrollably.

"You may go," Murphy said.

Martha looked up, a flicker of confusion in her eyes. ’Is that it? Nothing’s going to happen?’

Murphy didn’t look at her. His gaze rested on the few trees blooming with white flowers in the corner of the yard.

"You are not needed here."

A sudden panic seized Martha’s heart. She thought she had offended the master, but then she remembered he always seemed this way—his emotions were impossible to read.

It seemed that nothing—not her earlier pleas, her offerings, nor even his own blasphemous words—could stir any significant emotion in him.

So she stopped trying to say anything more. Lowering her head again, she obeyed the master’s command, held Lina tightly, took two steps back, then turned and walked slowly toward the courtyard gate.

After a few steps, she stopped and looked back at Murphy.

The sun, now behind him, edged his long black robes with a faint golden light.

He just sat there silently in the wicker chair, his gaze fixed on the nameless white flowers, his face expressionless.

Martha’s lips parted, but in the end, she simply bent at the waist in a deep bow.

Then, holding Lina, she hurried out of the courtyard.

The sound of their footsteps gradually faded.

The courtyard fell silent once more.

Only an occasional breeze rustled the trees in the corner, sending a few white petals fluttering down.

Murphy sat in the wicker chair, motionless.

He was waiting.

Waiting for the Sun to sink lower, for the light to dim, and for the fluctuations in the Source Sea to stabilize.

The process of using the Mind Furnace to deduce further applications for the Celestial Phenomenon Dao Pattern had already disturbed the Source Sea. Even if Martha and her daughter hadn’t arrived, he would have had to pause.

Otherwise, there could be unforeseen consequences.

「About an hour later」

The sunlight had turned a deep, warm orange.

Murphy slowly closed his eyes.

His consciousness sank once more into the depths of his mind.

There, the Mind Furnace hovered silently, emitting a faint, silvery-white light.

But this time, before activating the Mind Furnace, there was one more thing to do.

With a flicker of intent, a minuscule Dao Pattern formed from Mana emerged from the depths of his consciousness, slowly merging into the surrounding space.

It was the Celestial Phenomenon Dao Pattern.

Its purpose was to make the flow of Spiritual Qi in the Source Sea appear natural, simulating the fluctuations of the land and the ebb and flow of spiritual tides.

This way, even if a large amount of Spiritual Qi was drawn, the Magic Net’s monitoring would classify it as a "natural phenomenon."

The moment the Dao Pattern merged with the space around him, Murphy’s Spiritual Power spread outward, meticulously sensing the changes in the Source Sea.

The flow of Spiritual Qi was normal; the Magic Net had not been triggered.

’Good. Now I can proceed.’

’Begin deduction of the Yin-Yang Law.’

[COMMAND RECEIVED]

[ACTIVATING MIND FURNACE...]

[DRAWING SPIRITUAL QI...]

The next instant, a tremor ran through Murphy’s mind.

In the Source Sea, the Spiritual Qi for several miles around him erupted into a frenzy.

It was no longer the calm, natural flow from before.

Instead, it was a vortex, as if stirred by an invisible, giant hand. Countless streams of Spiritual Qi surged from all directions, pouring into the Mind Furnace deep within his mind.

Murphy’s brow furrowed sharply.

He sensed the Disguise constructed by the Celestial Phenomenon Dao Pattern. Before this violent torrent of Energy, it was like a piece of tissue paper, instantly torn to shreds.

The fluctuations in the Source Sea began to distort and resonate violently.

Those fluctuations were as clear and glaring as a signal fire in the dead of night.

’This is bad.’

With a thought, Murphy forcibly aborted the Mind Furnace’s activation.

[ENERGY DRAW HALTED]

[SHUTTING DOWN MIND FURNACE...]

The turbulence in the Source Sea slowly subsided.

The swirling vortexes of Spiritual Qi gradually dissipated, and the flow returned to its natural state.

Murphy opened his eyes and looked up at the deep orange sky, his brow furrowed.

’Still not working.’

The Celestial Phenomenon Dao Pattern could only conceal small-scale fluctuations in the Source Sea.

But the amount of Spiritual Qi required to activate the Mind Furnace was simply too massive.

So massive that the Magic Net monitoring the Source Sea would surely detect the anomaly.

Yes, the Mind Furnace required Energy to activate. That was a given; Energy couldn’t be created from nothing.

Murphy’s personal Mana supply was insufficient to fully power the Mind Furnace on its own.

Besides, even replenishing his Mana required him to draw Spiritual Qi from the Source Sea.

So, drawing Spiritual Qi from the Source Sea was his only option.

A full activation of the Mind Furnace might not cause any visible phenomena in the Material Realm, but in the Source Sea, it created a massive uproar.

It was on an entirely different level from when he had discreetly used his Mana to deduce basic applications of the Celestial Phenomenon Dao Pattern.

The Magic Net monitored magical fluctuations based on the flow of Spiritual Qi.

The large-scale fluctuations from drawing Energy and the disturbances in Spiritual Qi caused by casting Magic were, in essence, the same thing.

Murphy closed his eyes, his spiritual senses once again sweeping over the Source Sea in the form of Spiritual Power.

The fluctuations had already returned to normal.

It seemed the Magic Net hadn’t detected the anomaly.
