Chapter 999 Perceiving the Astral Wind for the First Time
Tower of Time, Plane Exploration Layer, Astral Perception Area.

Here, Xia Duo met Devine who was almost in charge of the plane exploration layer, but unfortunately, since he became a full-time astral mage in the Tower of Time until now, Devine has not discovered even a projected plane.

In this regard, it was impossible for Xia Duo not to be disappointed, but seeing Devine with bloodshot eyes and disheveled hair like a bird's nest, he couldn't say anything to urge him.

Now Severton can't go there for the time being, and he can only participate in the exploration by himself.

Previously, Niya brought back information about plane scholars and astral mages from Gilles Tower. Xia Duo mainly studied the plane scholars, but he also knew about astral mages.

The reason why astral mages choose priests is mainly because priests have undergone long-term perception training and have strong perception. In a spiritual world like astral world, they are more sensitive than ordinary mages.

Of course, since he is called an astral mage, he must know magic. Otherwise, let alone making relevant judgments, even the most basic operation and exploration array will be very troublesome.

Dewan still has some basics in this regard. He was a mage apprentice before, and later because of family reasons, he accidentally perceived the holy power, but he still stayed in the Tower of Time and continued to receive magic education.

And this is the main reason why Xia Duo cultivated him.

As for Xia Duo himself, he has experienced many blood awakenings, and he thinks that his perception ability will not be weaker than that of Dewan. Now he wants to personally participate in the exploration, and Dewan also happens to be his guide.

After all, when it comes to proficiency in the operation of the exploration array, and even the exploration experience in the astral plane, Devine, who has been working here for more than a year, is obviously better.

……

After setting the relevant parameters of the exploration array a little rusty, Xia Duo is ready to start projecting perception, and in the process, Devine also gave his own suggestions:

"After you project your perception into the astral world, don't be in a hurry to perceive or discover anything. Let your heart calm down first, until you can look directly at the silver glow all over your field of vision and think about other things."

"Well." Xia Duo nodded, showing understanding.

What Devine said was not mentioned in the relevant materials of the astral mage brought back by Niya, so it should be regarded as his experience.

However, when Xia Duo was on a projection plane trip before, he had the experience of consciously staying in the astral world for a short time, and he was mentally prepared for the general appearance of the astral world in perception.

Of course, he would also listen to Devine's suggestion. After all, this was his first time sensing the astral world, so it's better to be safe.

……

With the activation of the perception projection division in the plane exploration array, Xia Duo soon felt similar to the previous trip to the projection plane.

Consciousness suddenly left the body, and then rose rapidly. After experiencing a scene similar to the space transition in a science fiction movie on Earth, it entered a magnificent and vast silver void.

If he is still traveling in the projection plane at this moment, then he will incarnate as a specific creature in a certain projection plane in the next moment.

But not.

He was perceiving the astral world, so this silver void always occupied his entire "vision".

Xia Duo gathered his mind and tried to calm himself down, but facing this vast and unchanging silver void, he couldn't control his heart no matter what, and felt empty and fearful.

It is very similar to the "deep space phobia" that is often used as a fuss in sci-fi movies on earth.

And just when he had such negative emotions, he felt a breeze suddenly rising out of nothing around him.

The wind is extremely weak in perception, but it appears to be extremely strong, shaking the void where Xia Duo perceives at this moment.

He even felt as if he was being blown by the breeze and was moving slowly.

No, more precisely, it should be falling, and the speed is getting faster and faster. This kind of encounter made Xia Duo unable to help but worry about the ultimate purpose of the fall.

Is it some mysterious and unfathomable abyss?Or fall back to the main plane?
Subconsciously, Xia Duo wanted to leave, so, just like in the projected plane, when he had the idea of ​​leaving, his consciousness suddenly shrank again.

Reliving the scene similar to the space jump before, and then returning to the body.

"call--"

Feeling the familiar and solid ground under his feet, Xia Duo sincerely felt an inexplicable peace of mind, calmed down a little, and asked Devine beside him:

"How long have I just passed?"

Devine was taken aback for a moment, and then replied: "Less than a second!"

Hearing this answer, Xia Duo was not too surprised. The projected plane also has similar properties and has an independent time lapse effect.

In layman's terms, no matter how long you stay in the projection plane, the time on the main plane will not change a bit, but once you leave the projection plane and return to the main plane, the time experienced in the projection plane will take effect instantly .

In other words, if a person hides in the projection plane for ten years, he will be ten years older the moment he returns to the main plane.

The astral world looks like this now, although Xia Duo returned from the astral world very quickly just now, the time he perceived was obviously more than a second.

As for what the time rules in the astral world are, that is not something that can be glimpsed in a single perception projection experiment, and more systematic experiments are needed.

At present, Xia Duo has no plans in this regard.

……

After calming down, Xia Duo quickly asked Devine about the situation of falling in the astral world, which was not within the scope recorded in the astral mage training manual brought back by Niya. Wayne's view.

"Breeze? Fall?"

After listening to Xia Duo's brief description, Devine looked at him in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief, "You can actually set off the wind of the star world?"

"The wind of the star world?"

It was the first time Xia Duo heard such a term, so he hurriedly asked De Wanen, "What is the wind of the astral world? Isn't this the content in the astral mage manual!"

"The wind of the astral world is the spiritual storm in the astral world, which is the result of intense contact between a powerful consciousness and the spiritual world of the astral world."

Devine first explained the concept of the wind of the astral world, and then said that he knew the origin of this information, "I heard it from Master Kasa, but at most I can only create a ripple in the astral world , I never thought that Xia Duo, you are so powerful now, you can actually set off a mental storm!"

Xia Duo ignored Dewan's exclamation. He noticed the somewhat familiar name "Kasa". If he remembered correctly, this Kasa mage should be a low-level mage who was assigned to the Tower of Time's Academic Affairs Office. , belonging to the teaching staff sequence.

But a low-level mage actually knows information about the astral world?

Xia Duo couldn't help being very interested in this Kasa mage. He heard the name Kasa before when he was interviewing all the official mages of the Tower of Time.
