Chapter 364: The Girl Who Descended and Glowed
There are many ways for a wizard to travel to the spirit realm after reaching the standard.
However, it is important to know where the spirit world is first.
Sigmund, the famous "crowned wizard" of ancient times, elaborated on this point in a book "Tracing the Origin of the Spirit World", which was jointly collected by various schools.
The spiritual world connects the spiritual world of all intelligent beings!
In his theory, the human mental world is divided into three parts, consciousness, individual unconscious, and collective unconscious.
To use an analogy.
The inner world of all human beings is a large island in the sea, the land above the water represents the awakened part of the individual consciousness of some people, the underwater land part that is exposed due to the movement of the tides represents the individual unconscious, and the seabed on which all islands are ultimately based is the collective unconscious.
From high to low, it means that the spiritual world of human beings has moved from the individual to the collective, from the individual to the common, and all the way to the collective unconscious, that is, the "precipitation" of countless similar experiences passed down from generation to generation on the psychology of all members of the human race.
Dig up this layer and accumulate tens of millions of "sediment", and the gate of the spirit world is hidden there!
Even many transcendental beings standing at the top of the pyramid deduce from this that the more intelligent beings thrive (both in quantity and quality) of the world, the closer the connection with the spiritual world, and the more spiritual energy radiates from the spiritual world, the more the transcendent world will prosper.
If it were in a completely desolate world, there might not be a spiritual portal at all, let alone a transcendent world built on it.
Of course, the truth of the world cannot be so simple, but intelligent life itself is indeed a very important dimension. To some extent, it is also the embodiment of their value to the world itself and even the gods who are high above!
And for most transcendents, the easiest bridge to communicate with their own unconscious, collective unconscious, and even the spiritual world is the dream.
Even some ordinary people with a keen spirit may use dreams to achieve dialogue with their ancestors, and even obtain some information and knowledge leaked from the spirit world.
Legend has it that the first sorcerers were born here!
However, after so many years of development in the transcendent world, various methods of going to the spirit world have been very mature, especially the wizards who are rich in mystical knowledge and can inherit and accumulate them, and they have mastered the most convenient and effective methods.
For example, the magic inherited by the Milan "Prophecy School" is [Spirit Travel], while the method inherited by Aiwen's "Living Chemical School" is [Psychic Potion].
After several rounds of rigorous testing of the new reconnaissance network that had been qualitatively transformed and named [Witchcraft White Bird] by Ai Wen, and confirmed that it had met expectations, Ai Wen began to prepare for his first exploration of the spirit world.
During this period.
In addition to helping Calvin, the second disciple who had been secretly taken to Port Hatrafa, complete the introduction to meditation, Aven carefully crafted several "soul weapons" for himself to protect the spirits according to the knowledge in "The Rite of Flesh and Blood".
Since it belongs to the world of spirit and energy, of course, ordinary physical props can't be brought in.
Besides.
Although the previous "snake man" Hibercritus had lost all the money accumulated by the "Living Chemical School" in the past, he could be regarded as leaving a "soul arm" that could protect the spirit, that is, the key to the super giant rock golem "Mountain Giant" - the topaz pendant.
So that Evan will not rely entirely on his own handicrafts to support the scene.
After feeling that the equipment was well prepared, Evan came to Milan to ask him about the precautions for traveling through the spirit world, and made all the preparations from all the aspects he could think of.
Then, on a full moon night, he started his first journey to the spiritual world!
As for why not go with Milan, who is also a wizard and has a lot of knowledge in the spirit world?
That's because although the two people seem to be close to each other in the physical world, exploring the spiritual world is like a dream. Even if you lie in the same bed, you can't make your dreams come true.
What's more, the paths taken by the two are different, and their encounters in the spirit world will be different, and the transcendent gathering effect is more vividly reflected here.
So even if you have a trusted companion and use a specific witchcraft to converge, it will be difficult to walk together in the end, unless one party doesn't mind getting nothing, or even encounters a risk that they simply can't deal with.
Therefore, in the aspect of spiritual exploration, every transcendent can only rely on himself!
The moon hangs high at night.
Outside of the island's home for Aven, Gary and Milan are responsible for the work of guarding.
"Chirp..."
A flock of white seagulls had been summoned early in the room, each with a red thread tied to its feet, and the other end of the thread was tied to Evan's hand.
Aven changed into a loose cloth robe, put on a half-length armor made of black thorns, and around his waist a skirt made of spirit-inspired pine needles with a bag of seeds on it, and finally wore a topaz pendant around his neck.
Holding his transcendent weapon, sword and staff, across his lap, he slowly drank a bottle of "psychic potion" that shimmered silver as if there were star shavings floating in it.
Goo...
Well, to be honest, the taste of this kind of thing made from evil spirit dust is really indescribable.
But before he could make a follow-up review of the potion's taste, a heavy sleepiness had completely enveloped him.
Then sight, hearing, touch, smell... They all walked away from him, and by the time Evan came back to his senses, his spirit had been freed from the restraints of his body, as if he had been soaked in a river flowing with warm water.
All the way down...
In the middle, he seemed to see modern airplanes, cars, and high-rise buildings, but the planes only had one wing, and the wheels of the cars were larger than the whole car, and the high-rise buildings were thin and long and straight into the clouds.
I also saw a group of primitive people digging wood in the cave to make fire, and after a few failures, an old man took out a short wooden stick, and the bonfire was blazing between the incantations.
.....
Consciousness is sometimes awake and sometimes blurry, but most of the time when you open your eyes, all you see is a heavy fog.
Tick... Tick...
In his concept of time, it seemed as if he had experienced the entire history of mankind, but he clearly saw that only ten seconds had passed in the "digital vision" bound to the soul.
Suddenly.
Evan felt the temperature of the river that enveloped him drop rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it fell below freezing.
However, the essence of the soul is far less invasive than the cold and heat of the body.
Boom –
Evan couldn't help but shudder, and his consciousness, which had awakened like a dream since he took the potion, woke up like never before, and he could see the scene around him clearly.
It was pitch black from top to bottom, as if it were at the bottom of the unfathomable dark sea, and the sound of bubbles and the ethereal song of whales could be heard in your ears.
But even if the "Iron Cross" was not worn on his body, he did not feel the slightest suffocation of the deep sea.
In front of him, a bronze door with intricate mechanical mechanisms stood silently, and Aven could even see a structure resembling a circuit board on it, and then the flesh and wood door frame stretched into the depths of darkness.
However, Evan knows that there is not really a brass door in the depths of his soul, it is just the appearance of some kind of imagery, and everyone's experience, imagination, path... It's all related.
Without hesitation, Evan reached out and pushed open the door with the "Tree of Life" pattern carved on the surface.
Squeak –
Rumble!
The next moment, an endless silver glow enveloped him, and also illuminated this dark "underwater world".
Beyond Aven's field of vision, the sea water was covered with countless large and small transparent balls, and in each sphere was a creature curled up, whales, squid, seals, brown bears, humans, dragons... There are also countless ancient monster species that cannot be named.
The surface of each sphere is connected to a twig-like pipe that extends to the more unfathomable depths of the sea.
It seems to be the legendary "spring of life" where all things are born, and it is like the "tree of life" that is inverted, and of course... It's also like a huge biochemical culture tank.
But all this, Aivan, who has entered the gate, can't see it.
In the light of the sky, Aven could only feel that he was constantly falling.
In front of me, I couldn't tell the difference between east and west, north and south, and in an instant, I experienced ancient battlefields, dead and barren deserts, dark and damp huge mushroom forests, black and dilapidated castles, and intricate underground labyrinths....
Finally, after passing through a vast forest, it finally landed in the middle of the ruins of a prehistoric civilization.
Toppled stone pillars, collapsed palaces, clumsy but unique sculptures... And what they all have in common is that they are big!
Whew-
The brilliance that surrounded his body quietly dissipated, but at the last moment, he seemed to see that in the forest not too far from him, there was a pyramid looming out of the spire, and another brilliance dissipated at the same time.
A glimpse of the keen senses, it seemed to be a... Glowing girl!
Although I was a little curious, how could the spirit realm, which was theoretically infinite, be so coincidental, that there would be another transcendent who explored the spirit realm that happened to come nearby.
But the movements of his hands were not slow at all.
Covering his chest, he magically took out a jade seed-like seed from the place where the sound of clattering gears and clanging heartbeats could be heard.
Knock –
The seeds fell to the ground as if they had fallen into water, easily submerging into the old stone slab beneath their feet, and began to take root and sprout the moment they touched the soil below, but in a few breaths it had grown into a large tree that resembled a fusion of cedar, ash and banyan.
Although not too tall, the canopy is extremely large, and it hangs down heavily, covering the area of an acre of land.
Under the canopy of the umbrella, countless tiny grasses and shrubs began to grow, and even a little bit of light like fireflies constantly shuttled between the vegetation.
There is already a bit of a mysterious source of the "living chemical school"!
