Lord of Arcane

Chapter 466 Extraordinary Prediction
Although he didn't expect any will runes, mind runes, etc., when Xia Duo actually saw this so-called "meditation idea", he still couldn't help but be disappointed.

The "meditation method" of the Arcane Empire is actually somewhat similar to the yoga meditation in Xia Duo's hometown. The purpose is to improve concentration, but it does not have any direct quantitative observation methods. To some extent, it is even inferior to the concentration training on the main plane.

At least ordinary concentration training can tell the trainee what needs to be achieved at each stage.

However, after a closer look, Xia Duo still found the advantage of this "meditation method" - there is no bottleneck, as long as he keeps practicing, he will eventually be able to perceive the soul.

There is also concentration training on the main plane here, but here, ordinary concentration training seems to be reduced to a quantitative detection method, rather than the main method of training.

This is where meditation is the main thing.

This kind of meditation method is obviously not what Xia Duo expected, as described in the novel, it can improve the so-called spiritual power and even the soul's meditation method.

Whether it is meditation or ordinary concentration training, it is just a means to discover the inner endowment of the spellcaster. It is similar to the training of athletes on the earth. Advanced training methods may make an ordinary person become a world champion, but no matter how hard you practice, it is impossible Turn humans into non-humans.

At present, both Netheril on the main plane and the Arcane Empire know too little about souls, but even so, it does not affect an ordinary person from becoming a great arcanist.

Xia Duo guessed that the great arcanist would die normally, perhaps because of the natural limitations of mortal things, and the next step should be transcendence.

Having read so many novels and even written one by himself, Xia Duo is naturally interested in the so-called "transcendence". This is not a concept that the main plane spellcaster surpasses ordinary people, but an essential leap.

From this point of view, elves are actually mortal things, but their lifespan is a little longer than that of humans.

For the time being, only God is unquestionably "supernatural."

People have souls, and Xia Duo speculates that gods should also have souls, or similar existences. If there is any meditation method that can make people's essence into gods, it would be too exaggerated.

Compared with fantasy novels and novels about cultivating immortals with various skills, mages in the real magic world don’t have any skills for cultivation, and some only have knowledge, or in the words of Xia Duo’s hometown, it should be called “mechanical ascension” or "Technology creates gods", "magic ascends gods".

The concepts of magic and science are consistent, and both are verifiable knowledge systems within a certain range. In the future, it may be possible to ascend to the gods in batches, as long as the technology (magic technology) exceeds a certain critical point.

Of course, this is just Xia Duo's current guess. If the essence of magic does not change, this guess may be realized. Just like before Xia Duo crossed, although his hometown was just a small broken ball, the vision of scientists in his hometown could fly To the depths of the endless universe, where theory far exceeds reality.

Now Xia Duo's speculation is like his hometown's predictions about controllable nuclear fusion, curvature flight, longevity, and even immortality. It is completely feasible in theory, but the theory is a theory after all, and it is still a little bit far from reality.

Xia Duo is very happy to have obtained the "meditation method". Although it is not a meditation method that can improve the essence in the novel, it is a more efficient training method without bottlenecks.

The focus training on the main plane is divided into multiple stages. After one stage is completed, you need to re-familiarize and re-train the next stage. Not to mention the time wasted in it, the efficiency itself is not as good as the meditation method of the Arcane Empire .

No wonder there are so many great arcanists in the Arcane Empire!
As the difficulty of advancement decreases, there will be more arcanists. Naturally, there will be more people who can survive to become great arcanists in the end. Not to mention there are various quick-track methods. Xia Duo himself knows how to quickly level up.

As long as you find a high-level learning scroll and show all the details of the spell, you can learn to touch a higher level of magic net, break through layer by layer, and quickly rise to the 10th ring, theoretically.

But such a spellcaster is extremely dangerous. If you can't concentrate well, a disturbance during the spellcasting will touch the strings deep in the magic net.

Therefore, the higher the level of the spellcaster, the stronger the self-control ability. At least in terms of controlling the strings of the magic net, the high-level mage is far superior to the low-level mage.

The current Xia Duo has undergone many rounds of concentration training, and his will has been condensed to a certain extent. He hardly needs to deliberately maintain a state of concentration, and can perceive the existence of the magic net at any time, although it is a bit vague.

Sometimes he even worried that one day he would accidentally touch the magic net while dreaming and play himself to death. The more advanced he was, the more cautious he would be.

A quick fix is ​​not advisable.

It can be seen that the meditation methods that can improve the efficiency of concentration training are so valuable.The faster the focus is, the faster the upgrade speed is, which is the case of the Arcane Empire.

On the main plane, the general caster's concentration improvement speed is higher than the knowledge acquisition speed, which is due to the openness of knowledge on the two planes.

In the future, if we want to engage in open knowledge, there may also be supporting training methods similar to meditation.

But now, the method of meditation is the most suitable method for geniuses like Xia Duo, whose speed of knowledge acquisition is higher than the speed of concentration improvement.

After quickly and roughly reading the "Empire Meditation Method Third Edition", Xia Duo closed his eyes and began to recall the content of the book. Of course, just reading it once is not enough for him to fully memorize the full text, but he can also have a general and overall impression.

Because of the two-day holiday, Xia Duo had plenty of time to get the book, and soon he was reading it for the second time. At the same time, he also manipulated the pen and paper in his portable space to start taking notes.

It is not enough to copy down the entire book, but it is also necessary to sort out the complete meditation method.

……

From morning to night, Xia Duo not only sorted out the meditation methods, but also found information about papermaking. The "shu" here does refer to spells, but it is not a single spell, but a series.

Including 【Papermaking · Crushing Force Field】, 【Papermaking · Acid Baptism】, 【Papermaking · Acid Neutralization】, 【Papermaking · Shaping and Drying】, etc. 7 spells in the whole process.

Of course, if there is a spell version, there will naturally be a non-spell version.

According to the records in the book, the earliest paper in the Arcane Empire was made by magic, which was first created by the great sage. It was only later that the paper-making method that did not use magic was researched. Now the most popular is the paper made by ordinary methods.

Of course, fine paper still has magic involved.

It is a pity for Xia Duo that the paper made by the Arcane Empire cannot be used as a carrier for magic scrolls, which is obviously far from the elf city where he was projecting before (only 0-ring scrolls can be made, and the practical value is not high. ).

But no one knows how the future will develop, maybe there will be artificial paper that can serve as a carrier for magic scrolls!
……

Staying in the library all day, coupled with high-intensity thinking, Xia Duo was already so hungry that his chest was on his back, but as long as he thought about what he had gained in the library, he didn't feel so hungry.

After returning to the residence and eating something casually, Xia Duo couldn't wait to try meditation for the first time.
