I am a witch, I must suppress all enemies

"As for the Elven Bow, it is the most precious treasure of our tribe. Don't even think about it. It is in the hands of the First Ancestor."

"? What? Your ancestor is still alive?" Claire was puzzled.

According to the old man, he is at the same level as the Primordial God and can only live for 5000 years at most.

No matter how long elves can live, they can't live for tens of thousands of years.

No, some ancient gods are living in seclusion in various divine realms. Their power is far inferior to that of the original gods... Is that so?

"That's right... Even though the First Ancestor is an elf, she can't stand the damage that time has brought her. The First Ancestor wakes up for a very short time. Every few hundred years, she wakes up for a few days to check on our people."

"At that time, the elves will hold a banquet and offer precious fruits to the ancestor. After a few days, the ancestor will go to sleep in the sanctuary..."

Claire muttered in her heart, isn't this just a turtle?

Live just for the sake of living, and then seal yourself up, with only a few days of clarity. What's the fun in living like that?

Claire felt a little emotional. When her life was over, if she had any concerns, she might learn from these ancient gods and seal her body and spirit.

In the past, there were indeed some magicians who took pride in sealing themselves. Their philosophy was the same as that of the "Twelfth Young Master", but they were more absolute. Not to mention their desires, they even restricted their thoughts and ideas.

One must even reach the point of being in the void and having no intention.

This is a bit embarrassing.

Some meditation methods, even the most "sitting and forgetting" ones, will focus on the void and then reach a state of almost forgetting.

......

After calming down, everyone decided to say goodbye to the Elf Village.

Continue walking in the southeast direction, cross Mount Horus, and then walk for another dozens of days to reach the far north.

"Why do you want to travel? I think the elf village is very beautiful."

On the way, Claire asked Fulilian.

“If you look at the same scenery for fifty years, you’ll get tired of it.”

"I often sit on top of the sacred tree of the elves."

"Then I thought about my own life. I felt that I should think carefully about what kind of life I wanted to live. Should I be a little sister among the elves and listen to the orders of my sisters? Or should I choose freedom and live a life that follows my heart's will?"

"A stable life is something others can't even hope for. But you're lucky." Claire said with a smile.

"What's the point of living an unhappy life? I want to travel and see the things and scenery in the world. I'm also interested in magic."

"It's not combat magic, but some strange magic."

"Magic that can make hot tea, magic that can turn sweet grapes into sour grapes, and so on~"

"Magic should be fun like this."

Fulilian was looking forward to her future life, while Raziel, who was listening beside her, said calmly,

"That kind of everyday magic isn't very good. A magician should consider more theoretical things, cultivate profound concepts, and open up new horizons..."

"Hmph! Old antique!"

Raziel sighed, "I never expected to be looked down upon and regarded as an old-fashioned person by the older people. I feel lost."

Fulilian pointed at Raziel's grimoire unhappily, "Isn't your grimoire just for collecting magic for traveling?"

"You said it too. My goal is ultimately to collect magic, but I don't have to collect all kinds of magic..."

Claire interrupted, "Speaking of which, Raziel, how far have you come in collecting magic?"

"A little bit. But I have a plan."

Raziel opened the Book of Night Sky and said, "This world has been in war for a long time, so much of the precious knowledge of the past has been lost."

"Vulgar people think they are heroes, but their only goal is to fight for territory and wealth, and then invade each other. Little do they know that they have missed out on something truly valuable."

"That's right. The only precious thing in this world is magic itself."

Raziel's eyes sparkled. "I want to organize all the magic and systematize it."

"I named it Belka-style."

After saying that, a magic circle unfolded under Raziel's feet. The magic circle was an equilateral triangle with a sword cross emblem rotating in the center.

The magic circle is connected to the magic power possessed by the magician. This magic circle is a manifestation of the spirit of Raziel.

"Oh? You use this magic circle to guide your own spirit, and then connect it to the magic spells recorded in the magic book? This is quite novel."

Raziel nodded. "I have a feeling that in the future, magic won't require complicated spells. All it takes is a suitable medium to perform magic."

But she said with some regret, "However, using this technology, there is no way to reach a higher level."

Claire agreed with her: "Yes. Forget about reaching a higher level, I'm afraid they won't live past a hundred. Your method might allow ordinary people with qualifications to use magic with a grimoire or something similar..."

"But if one doesn't cultivate one's spirit, then strengthening one's physical magic power is nothing more than a tree without roots."

"Furthermore, if the mind and body are not unified, there is no way to comprehend the laws. Even if you possess the magical power to destroy heaven and earth, you may not be able to defeat even a powerful saint."

Fulilian muttered, "? Is spiritual practice so important?"

Claire sighed and said, "It seems like your foundation is quite problematic."

"Both the spirit and the body are important. It's better to say that the spirit is the body. They are one and the same. There's no need to dichotomize them."

"When we talk about spirit, we're referring to a concept that includes the body. But the spirit you understand is more like the soul, something separated from the body."

Fulilian was confused: "Why can't I understand?"

Then he pointed to his head and said, "This is the spirit."

Then she pointed to her barren chest and said, "This is the flesh. Isn't it divided into two parts? You also said that the spirit and the flesh should be unified."

Claire shook her head. "It is unified in itself, one thing. Yet some practitioners insist on separating it, trying to break away from the body."

"Little do you know that the expansion of the spirit represents the movement of the body. I may not be explaining it clearly. But don't you remember that after the enlightenment of our practice, the body will become stronger and stronger?"

"Even a wide-area magician like Raziel can fight in close combat if he puts his heart into it."

Raziel nodded, "Claire is right."

"The reason we use the term 'spiritual' to represent the soul and the body is because it better reflects the ultimate path of spiritual practice. In other words, everything is a self-expression of the spirit, including your physical body."

“After a long period of practice, you will finally recognize that you are the Absolute, the Spirit itself, but this requires an extremely difficult journey.”
