Chapter 430: The Beauty of Nature
It was nighttime, and apart from the snow-covered ground, a magnificent aurora filled the entire sky, intertwining with the silver-white snow to form a breathtaking tableau.
Additionally, towering glaciers resembled blue gems adorning a silver-white skirt, appearing even more crystal clear under the aurora's glow.
“The scenery is truly magnificent—”
At this moment, Jia Na, who had descended to this Glacier Plane in her spirit form, felt a sense of intoxication upon witnessing the awe-inspiring scenery before her.
“No, this isn't a simple aurora!”
Just as Jia Na's consciousness was slowly becoming entranced, the sixth sense warning from Danger Perception jolted her spirit consciousness wide awake.
“By my will, I command you: Summon—Qimeng Butterfly.”
With a flash of brilliant light, a beautiful butterfly emitting a seven-colored glow appeared in the center of the contract array beneath Jia Na's feet, summoned by her incantation.
“Long time no see, Master.”
As the light faded, the gentle voice of Qimeng Butterfly - Artemis echoed in Jia Na’s mind.
“Artemis, please check if there is any aura of the Law of Dreams present in this plane.”
Similar to the Disaster Plane Jia Na had encountered before, the plane will of this Glacier Plane, constructed from endless ice and snow, was quite aloof and did not readily accept Jia Na’s request for spirit consciousness communication.
It wasn't until Jia Na made several consecutive attempts that the plane will of the Glacier Plane reluctantly transmitted some information to her.
As Jia Na had guessed, the Glacier Plane was an interdimensional plane dominated by ice elemental creatures, with its plane Laws primarily consisting of Ice and Snow, Low Temperature, Frost, and Glacier.
In addition, this plane also contained disaster-type Laws such as Snow Disaster and Cold Wave. In terms of plane level, this Glacier Plane should be on the same level as the Disaster Plane.
However, besides the aforementioned known Laws, Jia Na also suspected the presence of traces of the Law of Dreams in the Glacier Plane.
“Master, according to my investigation, there is no Law of Dreams present here—”
Upon hearing this, Jia Na couldn't help but frown slightly.
“However, there are traces of the Law of Beauty in this plane.”
The Law of Beauty, huh…
Realizing her judgment was mistaken, Jia Na couldn't help but look up again at the colorful and magnificent aurora in the sky.
“If it’s not the Law of Dreams, then this aurora is truly real.”
When Jia Na first arrived at the Glacier Plane in her spirit form, her attention was immediately drawn to the aurora in the sky.
But as she was admiring the aurora, the warning from Danger Perception made Jia Na mistakenly believe that this aurora in the sky, which was enough to make her “soul sink,” was merely a dream illusion simulated by the Law of Dreams based on Jia Na's imagination of glaciers.
“This plane indeed has the Law of Beauty present, but the Law of Beauty is not the primary Law of the Glacier Plane.”
As Jia Na continued to watch the aurora in the sky, that feeling of “soul sinking” returned.
But this time, Jia Na did not resist the feeling; instead, she allowed her mind to truly immerse itself in the beauty of the aurora—
“The comprehension progress of the Fragment of the Law of Beauty actually increased?”
After nearly an hour of watching, at the moment the aurora disappeared, Jia Na also awoke from this “immersive” viewing.
As Jia Na opened her character panel, under the Authority Law entry, the comprehension progress of the Fragment of the Law of Beauty had increased again from the previous 6% to 7%.
“Indeed, for a Law like the Law of Beauty, which exists as a concept, the advancement method is relatively abstract. Besides emotional feedback after genuine expression, the understanding of the Beauty of Nature will also increase the comprehension progress of the Law.”
It was precisely for this reason that even though the Law of Beauty did not belong to the Glacier Plane, Jia Na could still perceive its presence because of the tableau of the Beauty of Nature woven by the aurora's appearance.
“If the Law of Beauty can be advanced through an understanding of the Beauty of Nature, then creating a ‘beautiful’ object might lead to even faster advancement—”
However, Jia Na, who had no talent in artistic understanding, could not create anything that would make people feel “beautiful,” whether in opera composition or other skills like sculpture or magic painting—of course, this did not include “her” herself.
Jia Na-Luo Lan, whether it was the Beauty of Appearance under the influence of Extraordinary Charm, the Beauty of Voice under the Heavenly Voice talent, or the Beauty of Performance gained from the Muscle Control talent, Jia Na-Luo Lan herself had already become a synonym for “beauty.”
Therefore, instead of painstakingly engaging in other artistic creations she was unfamiliar with, it was better to specialize in transforming herself into a work of “art,” becoming a beautiful existence that would trigger an “emotional tsunami” upon appearance.
“Whew—”
It wasn't until the aurora completely vanished that Jia Na gradually awoke from her recent enlightenment, letting out a long breath, and officially began the main task of seeking out a contract creature.
“There are quite a few native creatures in this plane.”
According to the information shared by the plane will earlier, among the hundreds of ice-attribute creatures in the Glacier Plane, only one truly possessed extraordinary abilities, which was Jia Na's target for this contract: the Frost Guard.
Similar to the Flame Plane, where Flame Guard - Yan Yade belonged, the Glacier Plane also contained pure elemental Life forms with no vital signs.
Based on strength, these elemental creatures could also be divided into five types: Ice Spirit, Frost Guard, Glacier General, Ice Lord, and Extreme Cold Monarch.
Among them, elemental creatures at the Glacier General level of strength could achieve the power level of a First-Level Wizard. Therefore, considering Jia Na's current strength as a Third-level Wizard Apprentice, the upper limit of what she could contract was indeed a Frost Guard.
“As elemental creatures with a strong sense of territory, Frost Guards, whose strength level only reaches the second tier, should be concentrated in the peripheral areas.”
Thinking this, Jia Na, who had relatively ample time, directly transformed into a butterfly-winged form, which consumed less magic, and flew towards the outer regions of the Glacier Plane.
