Chapter 175 The monastery of the transformation journey
There is no difference between crossing the star pool and crossing the shadow channel.
With some vigilance, and with the flash of colorful light in front of their eyes, Isaac and Blackwoods appeared in the gray sky.
In this sky, there is no sun, and no stars or moon can be seen. As Blackwoods said, this is a demi-plane and has not yet formed a complete world system.
and……
"I'm afraid it won't be formed!"
Just now I entered this place through the Star Pond, and my physical presence immediately returned.
There was a strong hurricane raging in the sky, which made him flutter his wings and stabilize himself in the air.
His eyes scanned the surroundings at the same time, and then below.
This airspace is being shrouded in a storm.
This storm is also extremely weird, as strong as a hurricane, but unpredictable.
Sometimes the wind is as strong as a torrent and a waterfall rushes down.
Sometimes multiple strands intersected, and some formed huge tornadoes.
There may even be situations where it is stormy on one side and calm on the other.
All of this is still evolving impermanently, without any laws that should exist in the material world.
Under the devastation of such celestial phenomena, the equally gray earth below looked like it had no life at all.
This should be...
"The erosion of chaos!"
Being here, Isaac's mind instinctively sensed something unusual.
He glanced around and saw no danger lurking, so he narrowed his eyes slightly, and his spiritual awareness sank again and expanded again.
boom!!!
The next moment, an incredible storm suddenly swept into his soul and consciousness.
This is a hodgepodge of storms, flames, gases, water waves, and soil, the four most basic elements, chaotically composed, chaotically fluctuating, randomly arising and dying, sublimating and fighting wantonly.
Everything is born from chaos? And it will eventually end in chaos!
A sudden impact? Even Isaac's spiritual consciousness suddenly rippled. It felt like it was about to be swept in. It turned into chaos and returned to chaos.
"Is it the power of the Chaos Sea?"
"But? It shouldn't come directly from the Sea of Chaos!"
"According to Blackwoods, this half of the plane is connected to Chaos City? Chaos City is on the edge of the boundary between the outer realm and Chaos Sea? It is itself being pulled by Chaos Sea. The erosion here should be caused by Chaos City,
Come indirectly!"
Holding the stability of his mind and consciousness, Isaac slowly opened his eyes.
Judging from this induction? It is impossible for this half plane to evolve into a real plane.
Maybe it won't take too long? This place will be swallowed up by the sea of chaos, and it will turn into the most basic elements, fighting in infinite chaos.
However, this is none of his business!
He was never one of those dragons from the lawful good camp who thought about how to save the world!
At most, he will only focus on... from this chaotic erosion? Can he discover something useful to him?
"In the record? This plane passage should be controlled by a Slaad Death Toad? This Chaos Giant Toad has always regarded the creatures in this half of the plane as hatching bodies to reproduce offspring.
However, what is connected behind the passage is Chaos City? Even the Slaad Death Toad may not be able to occupy this place forever.
Who controls this plane channel now? I’m afraid we won’t really know until we get in touch with him.”
Blackwoods' inner voice was not disturbed by the storm.
Slaadi has five forms.
From lowest to highest, they are the Slaad Red Toad, the Slaad Blue Toad, the Green Slaad, the Gray Slaad, and finally the Death Slaad!
Although the Sea of Chaos symbolizes the purest chaos, without even good or evil, the high-level slaad giant toads still have a certain degree of control over the low-level giant toads. Although, if you are not careful, you will have freedom of thought.
The guy just slipped away without thinking.
However, if the Slaad Death Toad is still there and uses this half plane to reproduce its offspring...if they want to pass through that plane passage, what they have to face may not be a Slaad Giant Toad with one head and two heads!
And if it weren't for it...it would obviously be even more difficult to take away this half of the plane from its hands!
However, they are already here, and Isaac will not say that he is avoiding it.
He teamed up with Feiyi Yeying. As long as they were not at the destiny level, there shouldn't be many people who could block the passage and prevent them from passing through!
"Whoever it is, let's go and visit first!"
His mind connected with Blackwoods.
At that moment, Feiyi Yeying nodded and fell straight into the low altitude.
Isaac followed closely.
It should be due to the erosion of chaos that there are countless cracks in the earth.
Small ones, just like cracks caused by dryness and cracking.
It was as big as a canyon, and it was infinitely deep. Even Isaac's gaze could not see the bottom of the huge canyon, which was like an abyss.
Flying over at low altitude, you can see that some of these cracks look like volcanic magma underneath, with scorching smoke clouds constantly rising, while others are so cold that even the ground is covered in frost.
Moreover, there was really no sign of life at all. After flying for half a day, there was not even a trace of green on the ground, let alone human traces.
The sky is filled with gray storms, the ground is filled with gray desolation, and the entire plane seems to be dead!
"That's not right!"
After flying over three consecutive peaks in a row, Blackwoods' figure slowed down. His eyes scanned below and then everything around him. A little hesitation appeared in the message from his soul.
Xu Yasheng, with some uncertainty: "According to the records, there should have been a city here. Even if it is destroyed, there will be no traces left."
Although it has never been to some of the landmarks in this half-plane, it is very familiar with them.
There should be a city behind these three connected peaks, and the humanoid creatures in the city are exactly what the Slaad Death Toad is raising.
But now, nothing can be seen, not even a little bit of building, not even the shadow of the ruins!
"City?"
Isaac's wings stretched out and he soared freely in the storm. His eyes scanned the ground. The constant true knowledge in his eyes also showed no signs.
The information about Blackwoods should come from the Yeying clan. With Yeying's powerful spiritual power, normally, he should not be confused by hallucinations and the like.
So, at least once, there should have been a city here!
but now……
After pondering for a moment, he closed his eyelids, and when he opened them again, his inner eye was opened.
The scene of the four basic elements boiling, wind, fire, water, and earth, once again impacted his soul.
Return to chaos! Complete chaos!
It is similar to the concept of gods, but there is some essentially different information...
The eyes of the mind simply no longer closed, but they kept the stability of the mind. While circling and observing, Isaac asked slowly: "Among the information you have, do you have any information about the environment here?
Record? How is it different from now?"
environment?
Blackwoods shook his head slightly. In addition to being regarded as the way to Chaos City, this demiplane does not have any resources or knowledge to make the Night Shadow Clan pay attention. Otherwise, even the Slaad Death Toad
, they have already come to fight for it.
Among the data, there are only some records of landmarks, and then some data related to the Slaad Death Toad.
Shaking its head slightly, it thought in its mind, revealing a bit of doubt: "There is no record of this. However, changes in the environment will lead to such a change?"
"If it is a normal material world, it is naturally impossible. However, since this place is connected to the outer world, it is also connected to Chaos City. If it is affected by the Chaos Sea, then there is nothing, it is impossible.
!”
"The sea of chaos is the origin and ultimate of all chaos. Chaos should mean endless changes. Nothing is stable and nothing is impossible."
"Things that are impossible to happen in the material world may not be possible if they are affected by it!"
Isaac said slowly.
As he spoke, his eyes moved slightly: "I can vaguely sense something, which should be the essence related to the Sea of Chaos. The Giant Slaad Toad came from the Sea of Chaos. If the Slaad Death Toad had made a move here,
, if this chaotic essence is further aroused, it is still possible to achieve all of this!"
The power of the Chaos Sea?
Then the Slaad Death Toad will take action here?
Blackworth couldn't help but feel a movement in his heart. After some thought, he nodded slightly and said, "If so, something must have happened here. This city should have been the livestock city of the Slaad Death Toad.
The creature is specially used as a reproductive organism to reproduce the descendants of the Silla clan. Regardless of what happened, no matter how chaotic it is, it should not directly destroy everything here!
The survival of this city has nothing to do with us, but to be able to destroy everything here to such an extent... If this is really this Slaad Death Toad, it may be even more powerful than what is recorded!"
Blackwoods was naturally not concerned about those reproductive creatures.
It will stop because it instinctively detects something that requires attention and even vigilance!
It was so cautious that even Isaac had to nod.
It is already approaching the real outer plane. In fact, this half plane has been directly affected by the outer plane and is already undergoing some kind of evolution.
Once you get here, you should be extra vigilant!
He could hear what Blackwoods meant, and he had no intention of objecting. He raised his eyes slightly and said in his mind: "Then let's explore the surroundings first and see if we can find anything related to everything here?"
Whether it is those humanoid creatures or the descendants of the Slaad Death Toad, as long as they have wisdom, they can always dig out some information related to the Slaad Death Toad or other existences!
Blackwoods had exactly what he meant. He nodded immediately, and the two of them were lifted to a high altitude. They added invisibility spells one after another, and began to circle and search more covertly over a large area.
Mountains, dead silence!
Canyon, dead silence!
The desert is even more deadly!
Even a lake is the same...
"Um?"
Just as it was about to pass over the lake, Isaac's double vision that opened at the same time should be at the bottom of the lake. There was something different from the aura of endless chaos, as if it restrained the boiling of the elements there!
Moreover, he vaguely felt a little bit about the means to achieve this control over there!
It should be...the power of the soul!
The figure slowed down, and Blackwoods, who had "Detection of Invisibility", also slowed down at the same time. Seeing the green dragon descending toward the lake, it immediately followed.
"Strong, but the most important thing is a firm mind and will!"
"not one!"
"It is necessary to use the most determined person as the core, or the container, and then gather the spiritual power of many people into one body. Even chaotic concepts must be bound before the single-minded and firm will of this group!
"
Isaac has closed his eyes, and as he descends, his spiritual consciousness is also unfolding there without a trace.
He could sense that the level of that core's will was not much inferior to his.
If you combine the spiritual power of many people into one body, your strength will be enough to catch up with him, and even slightly win.
Plus, there’s this trick…
In my heart, I felt like I had seen it before.
The psychic realm, the psionic realm, the illithid, and the Githyanki...
After a moment of unfolding, Isaac had a rough grasp of the people below.
This psychic technique is similar to a certain extent to the technique used by the Githyanki in the Star Realm to establish bases and use the power of their minds to stabilize suspended islands.
In addition, this half of the plane is connected to the Chaos City and the Chaos Sea...
"Those are the Githzerai!"
Some information related to the Githzerai quickly came to Isaac's mind.
The Githzerai and Githyanki are originally the same race, but after overthrowing the illithid empire, some Gith did not agree with the astral pirates' cruel ideas of killing and plundering.
Led by a leader, they tried to change all this, but were eventually suppressed.
He could only follow the leader and retreat from the Sea of Chaos. Since then, he and the Githyanki have parted ways, and have completely become mortal enemies.
The Githzerai are accustomed to seclusion and asceticism, and are even more powerful in the psionics realm than the Githyanki.
Their indomitable and firm will can conquer even the elemental storms of the Sea of Chaos. They even regard the Sea of Chaos as a harsh test that they are willing to face!
They are also one of the few races that can have a stable base in the sea of chaos.
But unlike the slaad, the slaad was born from chaos, entrenched in the ground, and naturally stabilized.
The Githzerai, on the other hand, use the power of their souls through penance to form the outer walls of the zen forest, subduing and neutralizing the chaos.
Just like the bottom of the lake, if he hadn't always maintained his spiritual eye, even he would have passed by the neutral surrender below.
As the figure descended, the invisibility spell was lifted, and after another turn, it turned into a human form again.
His mind wavered slightly downward: "I wonder which master is living in seclusion here? The two of us passed here to visit Chaos City. We didn't want to meet a monk like the master here. I don't know.
Are you lucky enough to be able to meet the master, communicate with each other, and learn from each other?"
He didn't hide anything anymore.
The level of the one below is not much inferior to him.
He was under the induction, he was aware of it, and the person below also knew that they were coming.
What’s more, some warnings are revealed!
When faced with the visit of a green dragon and Nightshade, even though the Githzerai have always been low-key and neutral, they still don't have a welcoming attitude!
Master! Monk!
Hearing Isaac's voice, Blackworth's heart moved, and he suddenly understood the identity of the person below.
The Githzerai!
Ascetic!
Moreover, the level is very high, and he should be regarded as a high-level ascetic monk who is respected as a "master"!
"If you two go for the teleportation gate, I can show you the way.
But there are too many poor people here, please don’t disturb their final peace.”
A spiritual voice came out, and a dark monastery seemed to appear in front of Isaac and his wife.
In the monastery, under the dim lights, a skinny, bald man raised his quiet and wise eyes.
