Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1002 Deception Punishment Discovery Features
Seeing that he was about to find the projection plane, Xia Duo would not stop at this moment, but Niya's words also attracted his attention, and he couldn't help asking:

"What happened to Sevington? Why did Ms. Greta take so long to try?"

"She didn't say it, but the teacher is not here. Ms. Greta should have a lot of things to deal with in Gilles High Tower. As you said, we just wait for the result!"

After finishing speaking, Niya revealed another situation, "Due to the frequent use of the plane exploration array these days, the Tower of Time's energy reserves are no longer sufficient."

"Insufficient energy?" Xia Duo carefully recalled the number of times he used it these days. Because he didn't have much experience in the early stage, as long as there was any movement in the astral world, he had to quit and start over.

But later, he has been able to exist stably in the star realm for a long time, is it true that he has been used too many times?

Xia Duo couldn't help but have doubts in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface, but secretly asked Ta Ling, and Ta Ling's answer was——

Lack of energy!

Shaduo hadn't heard the word "energy shortage" for a long time since the elemental passageway on the edge of the Mylock ruins was built.

But for a while, he couldn't determine how often Devine used the plane exploration array in the past, but his rational instinct told him that there was a problem.

So he stared at Niya's eyes tentatively, and said in a suspicious tone: "Really?"

"It's true!" Niya nodded vigorously, as if emphasizing the authenticity of this matter.

But Xia Duo noticed the clue from Niya's ears gradually becoming blush, so he joked: "I don't believe it, unless your ears are not red!"

As soon as the words fell, Niya's ear tips turned redder, and her eyes became less firm and became erratic. At the same time, the blush from her ear tips gradually invaded her cheeks.

Seeing Niya's shy appearance, even though they were old couples, Xia Duo's heart still beat violently, and he moved closer to the protective force field that restrained Niya's robe from moving, and whispered in her ear:

"You lied to me, I will punish you tonight!"

The words were rather ambiguous, and Niya understood immediately, her face became more rosy, she lowered her head, and hardly dared to look directly at Xia Duo.

"Okay, I understand!" Xia Duo hugged Niya, stroking her back gently.

After this episode, Xia Duo, whose rhythm was interrupted, has already realized his problem.

The state of astral perception requires not only the concentrated concentration of non-magicians, but also the need to relax as much as possible during such concentration and spread perception. At the same time, the passage of time in the astral realm is also very difficult to grasp.

Although his exploration only took more than ten days from the perspective of the main plane, but in the astral world, he had already forgotten the exact time.

Especially after proficiency in the later experience, it is often necessary to stay in the astral world until the spirit is exhausted before quitting.

Feeling Niya's soft body at this moment, Xia Duo relaxed and almost fell asleep standing up. He pulled himself together, let go of Niya, and said to her:
"I'm going to rest, wake me up at night!"

"Ah."

Niya answered with her head down, her voice was like a gnat.

……

Afterwards, Xia Duo adjusted the opening time of the plane exploration layer, from the original uninterrupted opening to the current opening only during the daytime, and it is still open every other day.

After this adjustment, not only did it not affect his normal exploration progress, but it allowed him to make more discoveries, and even Devine's mental state improved a lot.

In this regard, Xia Duo is almost 100% sure that the Seven Towers, who have been operating the plane exploration array for an unknown amount of time, may have accumulated a lot of experience in this area, but they will not easily let outsiders know.

Of course, compared to the mage tower (organization) that doesn't even have a plane exploration array, the tower of time is at the forefront.

On this day, Xia Duo, as usual, discussed with Devine the suspected points of the projection plane in the locked area of ​​the plane exploration array, and then started the first perception projection of the day normally.

Needless to say, the process of entering the astral world is the same as usual.After entering the astral realm, Xia Duo habitually restrained his mind, so as not to stir up the wind of the astral realm and move his consciousness.

Then relax your mind and diffuse your perception.

At this time, the originally unchanging silver void gradually revealed its true face. This feeling is like an extremely smooth silver mirror. At first glance, you can't see anything but your own reflection.

But if you zoom in on the precision down to the molecular and atomic levels, you can find that the mirror is not necessarily as smooth and clear as you first saw, as if it were nothing.

It is covered with uneven and irregular structures, and there are even adhesions of foreign objects, making it extremely dirty.

Today's Xia Duo looked at the star world, but he didn't feel it was dirty, he just found it extremely novel, as if he had discovered the inner world hidden under the outer world.

When the diffused perception diffused, the star realm gradually changed in Xia Duo's eyes, not as it was at the beginning, it was no longer an absolutely perfect silver void with nothing in it.

It's a chaotic field full of all kinds of primitive spiritual information, like a pot of turbid boiling water!

The spiritual information in it may not be emanating from life, and there are also non-life and even plane information contained in it, but all of these are all in the form of spirit.

Xia Duo didn't worry too much about the nature of the astral world. After all, he didn't even study the normal plane clearly, let alone a special plane like the astral world.

But now, all he has to do is search for the projection plane.

Some relatively basic but relatively reliable projection plane features have already been preset in the plane exploration array, otherwise there would be no such thing as automatic search.

But it is more difficult to search for the projected plane in the astral world than to search for the sub-plane in the etheric interlayer.

This is determined by the nature of the star world itself——

The rules of the Ethernet layer are relatively clear, basically one is one, and two is two;
But the astral world is a spiritual world, complex, changeable, and elusive. Even if it is explored one second before, it is not surprising that it disappears the next second.

Similarly, since the astral world is a spiritual world, the will of the explorer can be more significantly manifested. If the astral mage is proficient in business, the speed of discovering the projection plane may be far faster than that of the sub-plane.

Of course, this is not to say that astral mages are more useful than plane scholars, but each has its own focus!
In the discovery of the projection plane, the addition of human factors may be greater.

……

Xia Duo's search this time is actually coming to an end, and he and Devine have ruled out most of the suspected points in this locked area.

However, the astral world is full of surprises like this!
After checking the last batch of suspected points, Xia Duo had a whim. He didn't know the specific source of this inspiration, and it was too late to explore at this moment.

Just following his inner intuition, he re-aligned the center of perception to a suspected area that had been searched before and confirmed to have no projection plane.

In the Astral, intuition may be more useful than experience—

In that curled up, ever-changing mass of information, he actually discovered that there were several projection plane features in it!
"This is how you found it?!"

Xia Duo felt a little unbelievable, if it was really that simple, then what had he been doing for the past ten or twenty days!
However, the process still needs to be followed. Xia Duo quickly calmed down, while repeatedly checking the special group of information, while sorting out the operation of returning to the main plane in his heart.

After reconfirming the existence of the characteristics of the projected plane, he no longer hesitated, and immediately chose to leave the astral world.
