Chapter 561: Liberated Geralt (One Update!) )
Riding the billowing black fog, Yi Qiu continued to fly in the dim sun.
The spiritual realm is a derivative of the material realm, and in a sense it presents the most complete conceptual appearance of the material realm.
It is sometimes constantly changing as the physical world changes, but sometimes it tends to present a very different picture from the current state of the physical world.
For example, for a tree that has been around for hundreds of years, it has been cut down for some subtle reason, and a tall commercial building has taken its place.
But as it has been carried by generations of memories, it is highly likely that it still exists in some special form in the spirit world.
Once its manifestation in the spirit realm was only a projection of nothingness, now it is a ghost distinct from the living.
However, it is worth mentioning that the spirit world is not a pure lower plane, although it has some qualities that are similar to those of the lower plane.
It has evil spirits by nature, and it also has alien beings like natural spirits.
Based on the current state of the material realm, Yi Qiu didn't see too many evil spirits or other creatures in the wilderness.
At present, Yi Qiu's authority on the plane consciousness has not yet involved the derivative plane, so he cannot observe the spirit realm through the plane consciousness.
This made his exploration a relatively long process, after all, in terms of pure territory, at least the physical realm.
With Yi Qiu's current flight speed, it would be a very long process to fully explore the spirit realm.
However, Yi Qiu was not ready to complete the exploration by himself, he looked at the three-headed dog that he carried in his hand.
After the observation of the Heavenly Eye, Yi Qiu did not find a too powerful existence in the spirit world for the time being.
The only traces of great power involved were those left by the evil god who had been temporarily sealed in the suppression area:
It was a dim temple, mottled with marks, as if the repression of the evil gods had caused it to begin to decay in a very short time.
Yi Qiu didn't find anything of value in the temple, but saw a thick layer of dust in the place where the statue of the god had once been kept.
It was obviously not dust, but a statue of the evil god judging by its somewhat changing colors.
It seems that despite the existence of various distorted things outside the walls of the crystal wall, the spiritual realm of the material realm is still in a relatively pure state.
In fact, compared to other derivative planes, the spirit world is most closely related to the material world.
In the book The Origin of Life - The Sea of Elements, it is mentioned that the spirit world is the place where the soul shines the first light of "being", not the well-known maternal womb.
However, there is a certain disagreement between the arcanists and theologians on this point, as when a newborn is born, its soul and body remain remarkably close and pure.
It is difficult to distinguish between them in the usual way, only when there is enough communication with the outside world that the close connection begins to loosen, and the soul and body begin to become relatively easy to distinguish.
Arcanists, on the other hand, believe that it is at this time that the soul has real characteristics.
As for the muddy body in front of it, it is still in that simple, pure instinct, when the pure elements enter the material realm through the primitive mental fog and throw themselves into the empty body, a new and complete life is born.
But it is clear that theologians do not agree with this conclusion, which is full of devastating blows and mockery of certain religious theories, and fundamentally overturns them as the cornerstone of their doctrine.
Yi Qiu didn't have much interest in this disagreement, which he had seen in the mage's weekly headline that he had given away while reading the subscription issue of the Multiverse Center forum.
What impressed Yi Qiu was that it contained some information about the functions of the spirit world.
Life is made up of flesh and soul, and if the physical realm is the cradle of flesh and blood, then the spiritual realm is the source of the soul.
Therefore, just as there are a large number of carnivores that feed on flesh and blood in the material realm, there will also be corresponding primitive beings in the spiritual realm.
Yi Qiu didn't intend to wipe out all of these primitive creatures, even though he didn't have the ability to do so at the moment.
But just as there are meteorites falling from the starry sky in the physical realm, there are also chaotic things in the spiritual realm that are lost in the deep void.
Some of them are sealed evil gods, while others are twisted beings born in the void.
Most of the time they leave because of plane rejection, but some of them have the knowledge and stay in various ways for some purpose.
For Yi Qiu, his target is the evil things that may be involved in those messy things.
But now it seems that the spirit world is still relatively shallow, and you must go deep into the void to find those twisted beings.
Yi Qiu touched his bald head, and he looked at the dim sunlight above his head—beyond the penetrating vision of the Heavenly Eye, he could see that as long as he kept going up.
After passing through the spiritual turbulence of countless distorted spiritual fragments wrapped around the projection of the physical realm to the spiritual realm, he will reach the true void.
That is where Yi Qiu's real hunting is, and as for the spirit world, Yi Qiu decided to put the three-headed dog here first.
For now, the three-headed dog's combat ability is still too weak.
It needs a sufficient number of souls to power it up so that it can show its true strength at the top of the spirit food chain.
Soon, Yi Qiu was in front of a large, modern market town.
It's full of modern concrete buildings, but it's also mixed in with things that aren't very harmonious.
Like old towers, old houses full of mottled marks, and occasionally you can see some grass growing freely in a concrete floor.
Yi Qiu didn't know which market town in the material realm corresponded to here, after all, he flew directly in a straight line according to what the Heavenly Eye observed.
In the spirit world, the judgment of direction can become a little weak.
A lot of the time, what is iconic can be confusing or out of place.
And in this market town, there are enough evil spirits.
Yi Qiu didn't know why they were born, but there is no doubt that they were a very good choice as a nourishment for the growth of a three-headed dog.
Yi Qiu threw it directly below in the wailing of the three-headed dog, and then left in the black mist.
And after Yi Qiu flew away, the eyes of the three heads of the three-headed dog, who were originally depressed, invariably flashed a trace of joy.
"Whew!"
"Wang!"
"Whew!"
It threw its head back and walked slowly into it in the dim sunlight of the market town......
