Chapter 20: "The Aether Realm"
Liszt's mind was empty, he didn't know what was happening in the outside world, he only felt a flash in front of his eyes, as if something had left his body, and when he opened his eyes again, what he "saw" was no longer the original world.
The etheric realm, a purely spiritual world, where there is no so-called material form, is an unobservable and untouchable world. Every spirit being that arrives here can only rely on the power of the elements to perceive. The fire element represents an intense, impulsive mental induction, while the water element, on the other hand, represents gentleness and conservatism. The thunder element is a decisive and ferocious characteristic, while the wind element represents humility and bravery. All elements in the etheric realm lose their physical properties and retain only their spiritual properties. And the reason why people's psychic abilities can reach the etheric realm is precisely because the elements that correspond to the psyche will open a passage in the material world, and after merging with the psyche, they will bring the mind and consciousness together.
This world is actually the other side of the real world. Just as the stars are attracted to each other, there is also an attraction between the ether and the human world, but the strength of this attraction is not based on distance and mass, but according to the state of the person. If a person's psychic power is stronger, then it will be easier for him to enter the Aether Realm, and if he is a strong and simple-minded barbarian, then it will be difficult for him to approach the Aether Realm, which is why barbarians rarely have spellcasters. However, the Archmage's psychic power is incomparably strong, so they can completely spiritualize themselves, enter the ether realm, and rematerialize on the other side of the real world, taking advantage of the fact that there is no time in the ether realm to achieve the so-called "flash" or "jump".
Liszt quietly felt the difference in this world. The most elements that envelop him are the thunder elemental and wind elemental, as well as a small amount of fire elemental. And he could also feel that there were many other elements around him, representing various emotions, and perhaps even the spirit of another person. This wonderful experience excites him, and as a result, more and more fire elementals are attracted to it.
The most dangerous thing about the etheric realm is that if a person has an emotional change in it, then the corresponding elements will be attracted to it, thus deepening this emotion, forming a vicious circle, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will become a collection of emotions, and you will lose consciousness. Liszt also knew this, so he quickly calmed down and forcibly suppressed the intense and impulsive emotions brought by the fire element, until some water elements were attracted to neutralize the reaction brought by the fire element, and Liszt breathed a sigh of relief. Entering the Aether Realm for the first time, Liszt did not plan to start training immediately, in this dangerous world, he must have enough preparation and certainty, because if he is not careful, he will die, and those who are not careful and cautious will have long been turned into dust.
It is very difficult to control emotions, and Liszt can only take it slowly, step by step, trying to change the consequences of his mood slightly.
The reason why the human mind is strengthened in the etheric realm is because the elements here carry a certain spiritual power, and the mind attracts different elements through the change of emotions, and it will absorb the power of the elements and strengthen itself. So, the stronger the mind, the more elements it can attract, the stronger the power it absorbs, but most importantly, the higher the likelihood of losing control. Therefore, even if the power of the mind continues to increase, it cannot inflate itself, and try to attract more elements, but must accumulate bit by bit.
Training in the etheric realm is more about one's own confrontation with oneself, one's own war with oneself. Liszt didn't dare to stay longer, and if the first "rendezvous" was not terminated in time, the mind might be lost in this void. Liszt silently recited the spell that Mira had taught him, only to see the elements around him resonate, instantly gather together, release powerful energy, reopen a channel, and suck Liszt's mind into it.
When he opened his eyes again, Liszt saw Mira in front of him, Mira still maintained the action of casting the spell just now, so many experiences in the etheric realm, in fact, it was only a moment in the human world.
"Huh? How, success or failure? Mira reacted and asked curiously.
"It worked, there were no accidents, it's really magical, I didn't expect there to be such a world." Liszt came back to his senses and exclaimed.
"The Aether Realm is a magical place, but training there can be very boring and dangerous, so you have to be mentally prepared." Mira reminded.
"Well, I'll be careful, it's dangerous there, but I've gained a lot too, you see." Liszt closed his eyes and thought for a while, and suddenly seemed to have found something, and said in surprise, and pointed to the grass in front of him, only to see that the grass seemed to be pressed by something, and fell down one after another.
"Congratulations, Liszt," Mira congratulated in surprise, "it's unbelievable that someone can use psychic power after the first 'rendezvous', and without the help of spells, you really weren't born of demons or angels?" Mira asked loudly.
"Maybe, who knows." Liszt said indifferently, he was still excitedly using his new abilities, and he was having fun.
Looking at the rare childish Liszt, Mira also smiled happily. Mira knew that Liszt was carrying heavy pressure and responsibility, and she was afraid that Liszt would be crushed, but fortunately, Liszt was in good shape at the moment, but Mira didn't know whether it was good or bad if it went on like this for a long time.
When Hadrig heard the movement in the courtyard, he also ran out curiously, and when he saw Liszt's magical ability, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide: "You, you, how did you do this?" Teach me! Mira, I'm going to learn too! ”
Liszt, who was in high spirits, was in a better mood when he saw Hadrrig's expression, and said: "Idiot, you still have to die, this kind of advanced skill can only be learned by me as smart, if you can find a random pig brain to exchange with you, maybe there will be salvation." With Liszt's mocking expression, Hadrrig was trembling with anger.
"Someone! Come on! Arrest this stinky boy for me! I promise I won't kill him! Hadrrig yelled in frustration.
"Idiot."
"I'm telling you, I'm not going to ...... you today"
"Idiot."
"Don't be complacent, wait until I learn ......"
"Idiot."
"Who are you?!"
"Idiot."
"Hahahahahaha, you finally admit it! Idiot! Hey, wait, what are you doing, don't use your magic to move my hair, hey, don't, my hair falls out easily, don't move, big brother, big brother! I'm an idiot! I'm an idiot! ”
