Chapter 172 The Path of Transformation - Astral World (1)
Star world!
In Isaac's knowledge, this is the transitional plane between the Material Plane and the Outer Plane.
Regardless of whether it is any otherworldly teleportation caused by magic, or a teleportation gate between planes, or even the arrival of demons and demons, or even the arrival of gods, as long as it is traveling between the outer planes and the material world, it must be transited through the star world.
In the constitution of the world, the meaning of the astral plane is just like the etheric plane between the inner plane and the material plane, also called the spiritual plane.
Although the Shadow Realm is also a transitional plane, it is said to have been created by the Lady of Dark Night, but its formation should have occurred after the Astral Realm and the Spiritual Realm.
It is said that the Shadow Realm does not have any direct connection channel with the Ethereal Plane, but it coexists with the Star Realm, and there are many portals or plane channels between the two.
Isaac's eyes focused on this dark pool-like existence for a moment, and he looked around again.
But he nodded slightly.
Vaguely, he could sense a smell different from the shadow world from this pool of darkness.
But this is obviously not a plane portal, it should probably be a connecting channel between the star realm and the shadow realm!
Blackwoods reminded us of what might happen to the other side.
In fact, it’s the same here in the film world!
He looked around in a circle, but he saw some rather powerful shadow monsters among the layers of weirdness.
It has a strange shape, like countless tentacles wrapped around it, and it also looks like a giant tree. Even when Blackwoods arrives, it even has "eyes" staring at it.
It has the form of a ferocious giant wolf, but it drags a lizard tail, and there are two monsters with vague heads. Above the monster's head, there are four demonic eyes as pale as cold flames, which are both fierce and cruel.
There are also some six-legged shadow beasts and many shadow mastiffs.
In other words, Black Woods is a being from the shadow world and is powerful enough. If it were Isaac in his true form, these monsters probably wouldn't be able to hold back.
And if there is any life, if it comes from the opposite side of the road...
After reminding the green dragon, Blackwoods immediately fell into the pool of darkness.
Isaac's heart also secretly became vigilant.
Not only are you wary of whether there are any astral monsters on the opposite side? Or even? There is also a little bit of caution. Could it be that the opposite side is not a star boundary? Could it be...
"Um?"
Are you being vigilant? Blackwoods has entered the pool of darkness. In front of you? The darkness turns and is suddenly replaced by a glimmer of light? What's more...
For a moment? An extremely wonderful feeling, whether it is the physical body or the soul that exists in thought, it seems that it has entered some indescribable state!
This feeling... his first reaction? He didn't even raise his alertness? He didn't even look around. Instead, he narrowed his eyes slightly. For the first time, his mind and consciousness were focused!
What a feeling it is!
Leaving the material plane? Leaving the shadow world and just entering here? For his soul, it seems that all restraints have been removed? His soul, his heart? His thoughts... He even has a feeling? He is like
Can you use your mind and will? It’s like directly interfering with the world here!
Incredible feeling!
On the contrary to the infinite possibilities of the soul, entering here, his material body seems to be subject to an indescribable constraint!
This constraint...he narrowed his eyes slightly and only showed it with his spiritual awareness. Slowly, he understood it in his heart.
A hand is holding it gently!
Without taking any steps, the figure floated again!
"The weight of the body is completely gone!"
"But the body's instinct cannot take any action here!"
"Only thoughts can drive the body's operations!"
"The star realm is the transition between the material world and the outer plane... Therefore, my previous inference must be completely correct!"
"If the outer plane is defined as the apex of thoughts, beliefs, beliefs, and even concepts, shouldn't this be the transition from the material world to the outer plane? This should be the essence of existence?"
In just a few short moments after entering here, combined with the induction of spiritual consciousness, Isaac's guess, which was just an inference before, has quickly taken several big steps, and is already transforming into a true definition!
It's not just this inference, from this, he is also related to something in the past.
"In the star realm, there is no passage of time, and this is the essence of it, right?"
"A world whose essence is thought has nothing to do with time!"
"However, here, the body and soul will not age, but once they leave the star realm, the world will make up for all the time... It is not the immortal species, otherwise the permanent residents here will not leave the star easily.
Realm, but it’s reasonable!”
In the mind, many spiritual senses burst out, which further promoted the integration, evolution, and various promotions of the knowledge reserves... It was just a step into this star realm, and far before reaching the real outer plane, Isaac
It feels like he is one step closer to that destiny.
The guidance of the great Dragon Father is indeed correct. What he lacks most is his lack of personal experience and understanding of the nature of the world!
Of course, this cannot actually be blamed on him. If we only look at age, not age group, and put it on an ordinary green dragon, he can only say that he has barely touched the threshold of youth.
At this age, he not only needs to grow and develop, but also research and learn. How can he have time to travel to the outer and inner layers!
"According to what Dragon Father said, the destiny of the Dragon Clan is to completely summarize its own nature as its own, and no longer be affected by any laws, rules, existence or non-existence!"
"Although this star realm has pushed me a step further, the basis of its existence is simply thought, without theory. The characteristics of the beliefs, beliefs, camps and concepts of the outer plane will not exist.
Interfering with and affecting the soul and nature.”
"That's why Father Dragon is referring to the outer plane, not here!"
His eyes were slightly narrowed, and his figure seemed to be floating in the air. While Isaac combined his knowledge reserves with his knowledge of the world and integrated his own wisdom, he finally had some thoughts and turned to Blackwoods.
He can regard him as a like-minded friend, but this Feiyi Yeying never lets up at critical moments.
He is evolving wisely, but Blackwoods is already fighting a group of monsters, and he is still doing his duty faithfully, and not one of them has missed his side.
These monsters...
No longer just a matter of spiritual awareness, Isaac's eyes finally opened.
This is a void of unimaginable proportions.
There is no continent in sight, no ocean in sight, only unchanging airspace.
In this endless void, there are little silver shimmers, like stars, dotted in it.
That faint light brings a mysterious charm to this world.
With this silvery shimmer, there are some suspended objects in the empty airspace, still drifting, as if there is some flow of space or an insensible breeze pushing them.
These floating objects have various compositions.
Some of it is pure darkness, but Isaac's mind's eye can see that it is not nothingness, it is some kind of composition, maybe it comes from the shadow world, but it is drawn in here, maybe it is some special substance.
There was some more gravel.
In the surrounding area, as far as the eye can see, there is a small, hill-like place in the material world. It is probably the most conspicuous floating object in this space.
Blackwoods is in that direction. Under the dim light environment of the astral world, its shadow form like a giant bat-winged monster has appeared, just like some human-like appearances, but more like shadows or ghosts.
Monsters are fighting.
Astral monsters are naturally not that weak.
Isaac could also detect some negative energy fluctuations from them, which seemed to be somewhat similar to the form of spiritual bodies.
However, no matter how powerful they are, these monsters are no match for Blackwoods.
Feiyi Yeying is a highly advanced race even in the shadow world, and the same is true in the star world!
Isaac was thinking in his mind, trying to get his body to function and move normally. Before he could get close to the other side, he saw Black Woods' blasphemous aura and shadow energy sweeping through him at an extremely fast speed, one after another.
One, these humanoid spirits are constantly being torn apart by it.
In other words, these monsters are spirits, and it would take more effort to wipe them out with shadow energy and negative energy, otherwise Blackwoods would have completely wiped them out long ago.
However, after Isaac quickly became familiar with the environment and rules of the star world, and basically grasped the operation and actions of his body, it was over.
"It's not bad. It's just that some astral searchers came here to die because they saw your body and wanted to seize it."
"How does it feel to come to the star realm for the first time?"
After erasing all the humanoid spirits and absorbing even the negative energy, there is absolutely no possibility of resurrection. Blackwoods finally turned to Isaac's side, and the pair of dark eyes could only vaguely see a little form.
Eyes, a thought came over.
The coexistence between the shadow plane and the astral plane, coupled with its ability to teleport to other worlds, makes it an old traveler in the astral plane!
Naturally, it can be seen that the green dragon suddenly fell into a trance. It was the first time he entered the astral world, especially entering the physical body, and his senses were suddenly affected.
However, it did not despise this person because of this!
On the contrary, this is the star realm, and intelligence determines everything. Whether it is action, speed, spell casting, or attack, all are affected by intelligence!
It can vaguely feel that the power of this person here is probably far more terrifying than when he was on the material plane!
"I can feel that the elder's advice is correct.
Do you still remember the guesses and exchanges between you and me in the Rift Mountains?
Coming to this star realm, I already feel that this trip to the outer realm will truly unify my conjectures with reality."
Isaac did not hide his gains.
He has entered the star realm for the first time and has not really been to the outer plane yet.
Blackwoods should be a frequent visitor to both, at least, the Star Boundary side is definitely a regular visitor.
If he could learn something from it, he would not hesitate to exchange his own knowledge for it.
Conjecture and communication about the Rift Mountains back then?
Blackworth's heart only moved, and he immediately realized what the green dragon was pointing at.
It was the theoretical conjecture that made him truly admire that year... Should the road to destiny have two directions? From the structure of the world, one points to thought, and the other points to matter!
Since this person said that during this trip, he has already felt that he can truly unify conjecture and reality, doesn't this mean...
The dark eyes seemed to be glowing, and Blackwoods felt that its repeated efforts were obviously completely correct, and his thoughts moved again: "Please give me some advice!"
"Why don't we talk while we walk. I'll also get used to the rules here."
Isaac nodded slightly, but his voice changed.
Feiyi Yeying would not object.
At the moment, the flying wing night shadow guided the direction of travel, and the two figures were like flowing shadows, quickly disappearing into the infinite airspace.
Isaac's spiritual voice also sounded at the same time: "Looking at our usual walking. In the material world, we must use strength to walk. But in the shadow world, I observed your jump and speed before, and it should be
Is it related to the special composition of the shadow world?"
"Yes, this is a unique ability of creatures in the shadow world. The higher they are, the more powerful they are. It should be related to 'shadow'." Blackwoods's mental message seemed to be nodding.
"That's right. Look at this astral world again. Our walking comes from thinking and thoughts. Based on my observation of the nature of the astral world, it must be completely different from the material world. Thoughts are here.
everything!"
As Isaac spoke, he looked at the stream of gravel ahead.
As if under some spell, the flow of rubble gathered together quickly, and in just a moment, it was transformed into a huge boulder with sharp edges.
His powerful spiritual power, although it has not reached the level of interfering with the microscopic level of the star world, can already change the external form of some substances!
Before Blackwoods could ask again, he continued: "From the material world, to the shadow world, and then to this star world, the difference in the nature of the world also brings about the difference in the rules. These rules are consistent with the nature of the world.
.
Back then, the direction of destiny we discussed was based on the nature of the world.
If the destiny directed at thought ultimately constitutes the essence in the outer plane..."
He paused slightly and looked at Blackwoods again: "The outer planes you have been to are not once or twice, right? How do you feel about that place?
watch?"
How to see the outer planes!
Blackwoods' blurry, dark eyes seemed to be slightly wrinkled.
This level of exchange of ideas did not allow him to think deeply.
This thought...
"Click! Clatter!"
A voice seemed to sound directly in its soul again.
The outer planes it has been to...Outland! Mechanical Realm! And Nabaatar Hell!
But even if Baator Hell is inside, the first thing it reacts to and the one that remembers it most deeply is the mechanical realm!
There was a strange uncomfortable feeling in his soul, but Blackwoods continued to think about it, and expressed all these experiences and thoughts: "I once visited the Automated City, and then went to the Mechanical Realm from there. To
How to describe that ghost place..."
Automated City, one of the sixteen gated cities in the Outer Realm, is the gated city leading to the Mechanical Realm!
There is an unprecedented strange frequency in Blackwoods' mind.
"That damn place, even the automatic city, is full of tricks. It's like...everything was built by the same hand!"
"There……"
Enduring the uncomfortable feeling in his soul, Blackwoods tried to find a word that could accurately describe that place.
This made his eyes deeply wrinkled, and his mind was spinning "clack-clack-clack-clack".
Suddenly, there was a spiritual light.
Its mind wavered: "Synchronization! The foundation of the mechanical realm is that all operations are synchronized. This synchronization is still affecting everything that enters it. It should be that the stronger the power of the soul and the stronger the perception ability, the better
The more susceptible you are to it!”
At this moment, it finally thought that over the years, it would affect the very foundation of its soul!
Consistency and synchronicity?
Isaac's heart also moved.
The mechanical realm, among the seventeen outer planes, symbolizes lawful neutrality!
Lawful and neutral, not biased towards good or evil, this order...the starting point of order?
So, its consistency and synchronicity is to synchronize this order, everything, and the entire multiverse?
Moreover, the stronger the power of the mind and the stronger the perception, the more likely it is to be affected by it...
His eyes couldn't help but flicker, and the great Dragon Father's advice came to his mind again.
"Summary all nature into oneself, unaffected by any laws, rules, existence or non-existence!"
"If this meaning is further expanded, does it mean that if there is a destiny profession that points to the mechanical realm, which is the foundation of lawful neutrality, should it first form beliefs consistent with it, and then finally summarize everything into itself and become a leader with it?
Consistent but absolutely independent existence?"
"Expand further..."
Inspiration burst out in Isaac's heart again.
Now, it’s time to go to the outer layer for “on-the-spot investigation and demonstration”!
Then, it’s time to think about how to summarize this operation? Realm? Or ritual?
For a moment, both of them were deep in thought, but their speed did not slow down at all.
In this airspace where time does not pass, I don’t know how long I have been flying, and I don’t know how far I have flown.
Suddenly, a strange structure, still far away, made Isaac's mind, which was originally focused on thinking, move.
Their eyes were cast over at the same time.
Before I could really see it clearly, something flying rapidly from that direction also appeared in my field of vision.
On the other hand, Blackwoods also stopped to think.
"Githyanki!"
There was a secret alertness in its dark eyes.
Chase and escape at the same time.
Those who flee need not look too far, they are also astral travelers.
What was chasing behind them, not to mention the iconic starship, but the two young red dragons showed their identity.
None other than the most notorious pirates in the Astral Plane, the Githyanki!
These guys in the star world are definitely not the same as those who joined forces to besiege the city of illithid back then!
Those, except for those few instructors, are just knight apprentices that the Githyanki multiply and continuously train in the material plane!
On this side of the star realm, there are cold-blooded knights whose strength and combat skills are at their peak, and they are still immortal!
