Chapter 196: Astral Wandering

Astral beings are made up of fantastical forces, so the more people they imagine, the more powerful they become, but they don't exceed the upper limit of what humans can imagine about them. In other words, no matter how famous a dog is, even if it is known to the world, then it still only has the ability of a dog.

If it is a terrifying demon, but very few people know about it, then the combat power of this demon is often very weak, which is completely inconsistent with its external image, and it is even possible to be beaten to death by a small child with a stick, and astral magic was once considered an illusion for this reason.

It is precisely because of these limitations that the combat effectiveness of fantasy creatures is usually not stronger than summoning spells of the same level, but fantasy creatures often have various strange abilities that can play miraculous effects in special situations.

In addition, the exaggerated appearance of illusion creatures can often be used to deter enemies from acting rashly (which is one of the reasons why they are considered illusions).

Qin Yu was speechless for a while when he saw it, and said in his heart, no wonder the ancient wizards would classify astral magic as illusion, and no wonder there were few mages in their previous lives who practiced this, it felt so unreliable.

But the path I chose, I have to go down with tears.

Qin Yu finished reading all the previous content in one go, and the sound of a system prompt finally sounded in his ears.

System Prompt: After a long time of reading, you have successfully learned a new skill [Astral Knowledge], and the current skill level is LV1.

Hey, why is there only LV1? Qin Yu was stunned for a moment.

If you only have LV1's astral knowledge, then you can only learn astral roaming, and you can't learn the next two skills.

Qin Yuxin said that this is really a cheat, why are you giving a manual that is still incomplete?

However, as a veteran of the game, Qin Yu still saw some clues, could it be that he needed to enter the astral realm to roam once by himself in order to improve the level of astral knowledge? But it's not impossible, after all, practice brings true knowledge, and no matter how much you read, it's not as good as actual operation.

Thinking of this, Qin Yu looked at the explanation of the skill of astral roaming.

Since he had already understood the composition and operation of the astral plane, in other words, mastered the pre-skills, this time Qin Yu easily learned this magic, and the next step was to actually operate it.

If you want to enter the astral realm, you must first separate the soul from the physical body, because the astral realm is composed of spiritual power and human fantasies, which Qin Yu already knows.

Secondly, it is necessary to meditate, because the astral realm is made up of human fantasies, and the astral realm itself can also be called the land of fantasy, so the way to get to the astral realm can only be through fantasy.

The Astral Wanderer must then meditate and fantasize that he has opened a door to the Astral Plane, which is in the form of a ladder, a rabbit hole, a golden gate hidden in a white cloud, in any form, as long as the Rover can connect this entrance to the Astral Plane.

Ancient wizards even needed to take hallucinogenic drugs to assist if their imagination was not rich enough, but Qin Yu was still very confident in his imagination.

The book also mentions that some people may never be able to enter the astral plane due to their lack of imagination, rigid worldview, and strong self-restraint.

Qin Yu looked at it but felt very interesting, this astral boundary is a bit interesting, his imagination is still very rich, he shouldn't be unable to enter, so he can give it a try.

When roaming in the astral realm, it is best to choose a very quiet place and not be disturbed, Qin Yu found a meditation room, sat down cross-legged, and began to meditate according to the description in the book.

Qin Yu's soul was quickly detached from his body and suspended in the air, and then Qin Yu began to fantasize, in the soul state, fantasy is a very strange experience, because fantasy exists in thoughts, and the soul itself is a kind of consciousness body, so when Qin Yu fantasizes, it can be clearly seen that the surrounding scenery is also changing with his fantasy.

Qin Yu fantasized about a whirlpool leading to the sky, and as his consciousness became more and more concentrated, a huge swirling vortex appeared above his head in the meditation room. The process is not difficult.

Qin Yu jumped and flew towards the whirlpool, and then he felt that his body was unusually light, spinning in the whirlpool and flying towards the sky, Qin Yu knew that it was just an illusion, the astral realm did not exist in the sky, it was just an illusion brought by the spiritual consciousness when it entered the astral realm, which was one of the reasons why the ancient mages thought that the astral realm was located in space.

A light appeared in front of him, and soon, Qin Yu found himself in a strange and wonderful world.

This world cannot be described in words, because there is no matter, no land and sky, only a void, and countless points of light like stars, I have to say that the name Astral Boundary is still very appropriate, at least in Qin Yu's opinion, it is really very similar to the infinite starlight in the universe.

However, there is a difference between the two, and in the astral plane, the difference between the colors of the stars is very distinct.

Thinking is abstract, imagination has no boundaries, so in the astral plane, it is impossible to understand it with the laws and rules of reality, those points of light seem to be extremely distant, but when he annotates one of them, the perspective is quickly closer, and he is in front of the star in an instant, this is the wonder of astral roaming, everything is determined by the mind, no need to walk, not even flying, the perspective can be freely zoomed in and farther away.

And the point of light is not a star, but something like a bubble, through the bubble, you can see some images, each bubble, is a reflection of a human fantasy in the real world, sometimes, many people's fantasies are intertwined, so that a bubble looks colorful and very messy.

Which bubbles are not real bubbles, but are formed by the fusion of spiritual power emitted by human beings unconsciously, and the hundreds of millions of stars around them are the fantasy pictures of the whole earth, and maybe even the whole universe intelligent beings - the so-called astral plane.

When Qin Yu stared at a bubble, almost without warning, he suddenly found himself in it.

And by this time, he had finally regained his body.

Of course, this is not his real body, but his spiritual body constructed by his subconscious, and these bubbles are formed by the fusion of human spirits, so they have the conditions for the condensation of consciousness in them.

Qin Yu tried not to be too nervous, but still maintained a defensive posture.

Because it is also mentioned in the Astral Secret Text, there are dangers in the Astral Boundary, and those black and evil fantasies in people's hearts are transformed into entities here, which are real threats.

He looked around, always on the lookout for possible monsters, but there were no monsters, and in front of him was a colorful fairytale-like scene, green trees and meadows, and a chubby tiger grazing.

Uh, wait a minute, the tiger is grazing?

That's right, and the tiger wasn't your average tiger, with its shaggy limbs and claws, and a big prince on its cute head, and what you think of some kind of stuffed animal. This must be some cartoon character, right?

It's a pity that Qin Yu doesn't know much about the cartoons of the Marvel Universe and can't recognize them.
