Driving through the billowing black fog, Yi Qiu kept flying against the dim sunlight.
The spiritual world is a derivative of the material world. In a sense, it presents the most complete concept of the material world.
Sometimes it will continue to change with the changes in the material world, but sometimes it will often show a completely different scene from the current situation of the material world.
For example, for a large tree that has lasted for hundreds of years, it was cut down for some subtle reasons, and a tall commercial building replaced it.
But as a memory that has been carried by several generations, it is very likely that it still exists in the spiritual world in some special form.
In the past, its appearance in the spiritual world was just a projection of nothingness, but now, it is a ghost that is different from the living.
However, it is worth mentioning that the spiritual world is not a pure lower plane, although it has some characteristics similar to the lower plane.
It has evil spirits with evil nature, and also has alien existences like natural spirits.
Based on the current state of the material world, Yi Qiu did not see too many evil spirits or other creatures in the wilderness.
Currently, Yi Qiu's authority over plane consciousness does not involve derived planes, so he cannot observe the spiritual world through plane consciousness.
This made his exploration a relatively long process. After all, in terms of pure territory, it was at least as good as the material world.
With Yi Qiu's current flying speed, completely exploring the spiritual world will be a very long process.
However, Yi Qiu was not prepared to complete the exploration by himself. He looked at the three-headed dog he was holding in his hand.
After observing with the Sky Eye, Yi Qiu has not found any powerful existence in the spirit world for the time being.
The only traces involving powerful power were left by the evil god who was temporarily sealed in the suppression area:
It was an already dim temple, covered with mottled marks, as if the evil god's suppression had caused it to begin to decay very quickly.
Yi Qiu did not find anything of value in the temple, but he saw a thick layer of dust where the statue of the god had been placed.
It was obviously not dust. Judging from its changing colors, it should be the statue of the evil god.
It seems that although there are various distorted things outside the crystal wall system, the spiritual world of the material world is still in a relatively pure state.
In fact, compared to other derived planes, the spiritual world has the closest relationship with the material world.
It is mentioned in the book "The Origin of Life - Sea of Elements" that the spiritual world is the place where the soul shines with the first light of "existence", rather than the well-known maternal womb.
However, there are certain differences between arcanists and theologians on this point, because when a newborn is born, its soul and body remain remarkably close and pure.
It is difficult for you to distinguish them through conventional methods. Only after sufficient communication with the outside world, this close connection begins to loosen, so the soul and the body begin to become relatively easy to distinguish.
Arcanists believe that it is at this time that the soul has real characteristics.
As for the confused body in the front, it is still in that simple, pure instinct. When the pure elements enter the material world through the original spiritual fog and are thrown into the empty body, a new, complete life can be born.
However, it is obvious that theologians do not agree with this conclusion. It is full of devastating blows and ridicule to certain religious theories, and has fundamentally overturned them as the cornerstone of doctrine.
Yi Qiu is not very interested in this disagreement. These are what he saw in the weekly headlines of the mages when he read the subscription journal of the Multiverse Center Forum.
What impressed Yi Qiu was that it contained some information about the functions of the spirit world.
Life is composed of flesh and blood and soul. If the material world is the cradle of the flesh and blood body, then the spiritual world is the source of the soul.
So just as there are a large number of carnivorous animals that feed on flesh and blood in the material world, there will also be corresponding primitive creatures in the spiritual world.
Yi Qiu does not intend to exterminate all these primitive creatures, although he currently does not have such ability.
But just as there are meteorites falling from the stars in the material world, there are also messy things that are lost in the deep void in the spiritual world.
Some of them are sealed evil gods, while others are twisted existences born in the void.
Most of the time they will leave due to plane rejection, but some of them have relevant knowledge and have certain purposes and stay in various ways.
For Yi Qiu, his target is the evil things that may be involved in those messy things.
But now it seems that the spiritual world is still relatively shallow, and one has to go deep into the void to find those twisted existences.
Yi Qiu touched his bald head and looked at the dim sunlight above his head - outside the penetrating field of vision of the Sky Eye, he could see that as long as he kept going up.
After passing through the spiritual turbulence formed by countless twisted spiritual fragments wrapped around the main body of the spiritual world - the projection of the material world to the spiritual world, he will reach the true void.
That is where Yi Qiu really hunts. As for the spirit world, Yi Qiu decided to let the three-headed dog go here first.
For now, the three-headed dog's combat capabilities are still too weak.
It needs a sufficient number of souls to strengthen its abilities, so that it can show its true strength at the top of the spiritual food chain.
Soon, Yi Qiu arrived in front of a large modern market town.
It is full of modern cement buildings, but also mixed with some not-so-harmonious things from time to time.
Like ancient towers, old-fashioned houses full of mottled marks, and occasionally you can see some grass growing wantonly on a piece of cement floor.
Yi Qiu didn't know which market town in the material world this corresponded to. After all, he flew directly in a straight line based on what his celestial eye observed.
In the spiritual world, the judgment of direction becomes somewhat weak.
Many times, things that are iconic can be confusing or out of place.
And in this market town, there are a sufficient number of evil spirits.
Yi Qiu doesn't know the reason why they were born, but there is no doubt that they are a very good choice as nourishment for the growth of three-headed dogs.
Yi Qiu threw the three-headed dog down below while it howled, and then drove away in the black mist.
After Yi Qiu flew away, a hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the three heads of the originally dejected three-headed dog.
"Ouch!"
"Woof!"
"Ouch!"
It raised its head and chest, and slowly stepped into it under the dim sunlight of the market town...
