Chapter 32: Statue of Knowledge

Just like the statues before, this one also featured a tome, bound securely to its base. The title, “The Wisdom Scroll,” glimmered as if kissed by morning dew. 

To activate the statue, Wuyi had to chant, ‘Sapientia Lumen, enlighten the mind’s eye!’ Upon its activation, he felt a surge of new energy. Although he was becoming accustomed to these energy surges with each statue he activated, he could not completely acclimatize to the sensation. Each activation opened a new world to him. Following the statue’s activation, it was as if veils of ignorance were lifted, revealing a realm of untapped wisdom and insight. His mental sharpness increased, and his focus intensified. The complexities of the world seemed to lay bare before him, every thread of knowledge now accessible. This newfound clarity accelerated his learning, making him feel as if he had an eidetic memory for subjects such as calligraphy, history, herbal lore, and medicine. It appeared as though all this knowledge was stored within the statue, ready for him to access whenever needed.
