At the foot of the giant phantom "Tree of Life" left behind after Sorcery Garden detached from the spirit world, on the highest level of Poseidia City, a vast Chimera Ritual spanning over a thousand square meters blazed with brilliant Spell Aura that shot into the sky.
Outside the ritual stood Evan and Angie, dressed in identical dark green dragon-skin robes. Inside stood Sera and her two disciples, wearing only simple white linen nightgowns to remain as close to nature as possible.
Their teacher, Sera, stood barefoot atop Chimera's snake head, which symbolized regeneration. Her elder sister Clarissa stood atop Chimera's lion head, which symbolized strength. Her younger sister Leonora stood atop Chimera's goat head, which symbolized mysticism.
Whoosh!
The Spiritual Wind suddenly rose, and the three gradually sank into the deep meditation state of the Tree of Life Meditation.
Their robes fluttered as the master and disciples slowly lifted off the ground, as though returning to the womb. They curled up like fetuses and floated two meters above the floor.
Evan and Angie exchanged a knowing glance, then clasped their hands together and gave a low shout:
The giant phantom Tree of Life at the center of the ritual abruptly solidified into substance. Three slender branches descended, vanishing into the space above the women's heads and entering the world of spirituality.
The only constant in the world was change.
This was even more true for the Source of Mysticism, which continuously perfected itself as members of the school joined and added new branches and leaves.
After incorporating Evan's Gene Theory, the Tree of Life, whose main traits had originally been White Ash and banyan, had become forty percent Red Iron Fir, thirty percent White Ash, and thirty percent banyan.
The same principle applied to Sera and her disciples.
