Chapter 195: Astral Secret Archive
【Astral Secret Archive (Magic Book)
Item description: Records the knowledge of the astral plane, how to enter the astral magic book, compiled by those ancient astral wanderers, because the astral realm does not exist in the material world, in order to become an astral wanderer, mastering the ability of the soul out of the body is a necessary premise, and also requires strong spiritual power.
On the title page of the book is written two lines of small print, 'Falsehood is falsehood, truth is truth, and the two are not to be confused. ’】
There was no demand for this book, which surprised Qin Yu a little, can anyone understand it? So what kind of advanced magic book is this?
But when he opened the table of contents of the book, he immediately understood.
This Astral Secret Archive is somewhat similar to the Book of Casiriotero, a hybrid of a book of knowledge and a book of skills.
At the front of the book is a lot of knowledge introduction, background description, etc., and at the end is practical magic, and each magic skill has its own learning conditions.
Qin Yu didn't look at the knowledge part in front of him, but directly turned to the last few pages of practical magic.
There are only three magic records in this book-
The first one –
【Astral Odyssey (Soul Magic/Dimensional Magic)
Learning needs: LV4, 16 points of mental power, pre-skills: out-of-body soul, astral knowledge LV1.
Use: Meditate to bring your soul into the astral plane for a maximum of 24 hours, after which your physical body will lose compatibility with your soul.
Note: This skill can be interrupted, and after being interrupted, it will deal some damage to the soul of the skill user.
Skill description: Astral Wandering is not magic, but a strange state of concentration that can be achieved through meditation, sometimes through hallucinogenic drugs or witchcraft rituals, however, the latter may have some unpredictable side effects, and if you stay in the astral plane for a long time, you may even lose your mind. 】
The second –
【Astral Advent (Dimensional Magic)
Learning Requirements: LV6, 18 points of mental power, pre-skills: Dimensional Magic Knowledge LV1, Astral Knowledge LV2.
Use: Visualize and summon an astral creature to descend into the real world, the number of mana points consumed is determined by the caster (no less than 100 points), the more mana the caster consumes for the astral creature, the more realistic the astral creature will be, and the caster cannot inject more mana than the maximum strength of the astral creature.
Skill description: Unreal is always unreal - unless you're a mage, use your imagination to summon an astral creature and use your mana to create a temporary body for it to work for you. 】
The third –
【Astral Communication (Soul Magic/Dimensional Magic)
Learning Requirements: LV8, 20 points of mental power, pre-skills: out-of-body soul, dimensional magic knowledge LV1, astral knowledge LV3.
Use: Use your spiritual power to communicate with the astral plane, link the power of the astral plane to yourself, and continuously obtain the power enhancement from the astral plane, you will gain a lasting 33 seconds (mental power×1. 5) The state of infinite mana, in which your mana is endless.
After the spell is infinite, the caster will be in a state of mana suppression for 24 hours, during which time no magic spells can be used.
Skill introduction: A powerful astral rover can guide and use the huge spiritual magic of the astral plane, but such a huge amount of spiritual power injected into the body will also bring a huge mental burden, and even fall into madness. 】
Looking at the introduction of these three magics, Qin Yu was shocked, the first two are okay to say, in the end, this astral communication is a bit of a bombardment, what is the concept of infinite mana, then isn't he invincible-
No, it doesn't seem to be invincible, after all, no matter how much mana you have, you have to be able to release it, and the casting speed is here, even if you throw fireballs for 33 seconds, you can only throw thirty-three fireballs.
Or use Certorak's Eye of Destruction for 33 seconds, or use Ekern's form to unleash a whole bunch of clones.
And after the duration ends, it will fall into a state of mana suppression, so this should be regarded as a Jedi reversal ultimate.
He looked at the three magic learning conditions again, and most of them were within his reach.
Qin Yu's current intelligence attribute is 21, his talent is LV7, and his mental power is 19 points, which seems to be a little worse.
However, Qin Yu is good at enlightening wisdom, and he can just increase his talent to LV8, and in terms of spiritual power, he relied on the diamond ring of the White Queen on his body to add two points, barely reaching the standard.
Out-of-body is a skill he's learned a long time ago, though he doesn't use it very often.
The knowledge of dimensional magic was just learned two days ago.
The only thing I don't have is astral knowledge, but I think you can learn it through the content of the previous content of the "Astral Secret Codex".
Thinking of this, Qin Yu flipped through the book and read it.
Qin Yu read it very carefully, for fear of missing a little, he repeatedly interpreted the content of it to ensure that he would not understand it wrongly, according to this book, the astral realm is where human fantasies converge, it is an abstract dimension, and the human body cannot reach there, but through meditation and meditation, the human soul can enter the astral realm and roam in the vast astral realm.
The beginning of the book also introduces the origin of the name Astral Boundary, the original Astral Boundary was empty, when the human mind was initially gathered, people's imagination was still very poor, and all they could access was the natural scenery in reality, in which the stars at night were easy to arouse people's fantasies and fabricate all kinds of myths and legends, because of this, the original Astral Boundary also presented a starry sky-like scene.
When the first ancient wizards inadvertently broke into the astral realm through witchcraft rituals and hallucinogenic drugs, they saw a strange realm like a starry sky, so they named it the astral sky, and thought that they had left the earth and entered the vast starry sky, but in fact, the astral realm has no intrinsic connection with the stars and space.
However, the ancient wizards did not realize this until the development of stargazing allowed them to realize that the scene of the astral plane did not overlap with the star map in the sky, but by this time habits and traditions had been formed, so this beautiful misunderstanding has been used until modern times.
In the illustrations of the Astral Secret Archive, there are also several pictures to describe this scene, which makes Qin Yu laugh for a while, he didn't expect that the ancient wizards could still make this kind of moth, which may be the same as Columbus calling the Native Americans Indians.
He continued to look down.
After turning the beginning, the book began to introduce what kind of world the astral boundary is, which is also what Qin Yu is most concerned about.
According to the book, because the astral realm is composed of human imagination and unconscious spiritual power, it is full of all kinds of fantasy creatures, in the beginning, there were dragons, various mythical beasts, gods, elves, of course, demons, monsters, ghosts, and all the things that come up with the minds of humans.
Since the astral realm is made of spiritual power, these fantasy creatures all have a body in the astral realm, so when the soul of the astral rover is attacked by these fantasy creatures, the soul is also likely to be harmed, so when roaming the astral plane, the wanderer should try to avoid falling into danger, and when encountering too powerful enemies, they should flee as soon as possible.
As humanity multiplies, numbers and minds evolve, so does the power of the astral plane, which has improved dramatically in recent centuries.
However, due to the uncertainty of human thinking, ancient myths and legends are often lost and rewritten, and the creatures of the astral realm will be born and annihilated as a result, or the external image will change, which is very unstable, and the modern astral realm has become particularly chaotic because human thoughts have become more and more mixed.
In addition, there will only be pure fantasy creatures in the astral plane, and if they already exist in reality, they will not appear, such as the gods of Asgard, because they are real, people's fantasies and worship of the gods of Asgard will be transformed into the power of faith and absorbed by it, so there will be no Asgardian gods in the astral plane, but there may be variants of the Asgardian gods, such as someone drew a cartoon based on Thor, and it was seen by many people, Then it is possible that a cartoon version of Thor will be born in the astral plane.
Qin Yu couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this, this astral boundary sounded so interesting, no wonder Gu Yi and Wang both reminded him not to indulge in it, just reading the introduction was interesting enough, but was it just that? A super-sized virtual reality world? Wouldn't the mage get anything out of it?
He hurriedly flipped through several pages to the third section: The Use of Astral Magic.
There are many benefits to traveling in the Astral Plane, first of all, the Astral Traveler can communicate with the wise men and gods that only exist in myths and legends, ask questions, gain all kinds of knowledge, and even learn magic.
Secondly, you can absorb the spiritual power that human beings unconsciously emanate, strengthen your own spiritual power, and often travel in the astral realm can greatly improve the spiritual power attributes.
However, these benefits are not obvious, and the most commonly used astral magic among astral mages is Astral Arrival, where some powerful mages are able to summon astral creatures into reality to assist in battles, or to help with things.
However, although these astral creatures seem to be powerful, but because they do not have a physical body, so the caster must use magic to create a temporary body for them, and the combat power of these fantasy creatures is often directly proportional to the mana consumed by the mage, so the combat power is often in stark contrast to their appearance, and sometimes even appear vulnerable, and astral magic was even classified as illusion magic for a time.
