Chapter 2784: Embodying the Main Plane, Transcendent Perception

At this moment, even though Xia Duo was not the one chanting, he could clearly feel a powerful sense of resonance, and this resonance actually amplified his perception of the water in the basin.

Originally, he had only relied on his keen hearing to catch the faint sound of the water body hitting the basin walls as it swayed slightly due to his unsteady grip, but now, under the resonance of Angtuo's incantation, he felt as if he were hearing the sound of the ocean.

Moreover, this sound grew louder and louder; at this moment, what he held was not a basin of water that likely weighed less than five pounds, but an entire ocean, an entire world of Water Element.

Xia Duo was immersed in this novel and unique, brand-new perception; gradually, he felt as if he had also arrived underwater, arrived at the bottom of the sea, wrapped within the water body, and merged into one with the Water Element.

His physical form was so thoroughly dissolved that the surrounding water body became his new vessel, and through this boundless new vessel, he extended his perception to an infinite distance in an instant.

In an instant, Xia Duo seemed to see the entire world, a Main Plane composed entirely of Water Element, within which was the Daxia Territory he was exceptionally familiar with, and located within it—

A body?

Realizing this, Xia Duo's will suddenly jolted awake, no longer able to adapt to the incomparable water body surrounding him, nor the incomparable, super-strong perception.

Just like waking up from a dream, Xia Duo gasped for air, then opened his eyes wide, looking at the basin he was still holding in his hands, his eyes full of disbelief.

In fact, until today, he had thought that a Wizard's spellcasting was just a special method of casting, and that most so-called rituals were just fake tricks Wizards created to fool the tribespeople.

……

If it is certain that using Incense can still lead to success, then in my next step, I am prepared to try replacing the water with other elemental manifestations; perhaps it might produce other Element Perception.

It ought to be absorbed and integrated by Arcane Magic. (In a narrow sense, Arcane Magic is magic that directly controls the Magic Net; Elven Magic and Netheril Magic are both this, while Imaska and Zhamu Dasi are not, and the Dwarves' is not either; in a broad sense, it refers to systematic magic.)

"It's the same as the first incantation!"

I have a very strong feeling that in this state, I can cast spells for 【Control Water】; in other words, I can use the current transcendent perception to stir up a wave in the Narrow Sea.

However, chanting itself requires consuming a fair amount of energy, which can be compared to hitting high notes on Earth; it also requires physical stamina to support, not to mention that these incantations resonate with perception, so the person chanting should feel it even more clearly.

Perhaps because he had just had a deeper experience, as if a desensitization phenomenon had occurred, this time, although Xia Duo invested his perception, he still retained a portion of his will to conduct extra thinking.

……

Xia Duo can also achieve extended perception and remote spellcasting through Arcane Magic, but the difficulty between the two is as different as heaven and earth.

Exhausting everything he had learned in his life, in the end, he still couldn't compare to someone else doing it casually; after a moment of frustration, however, Xia Duo regained his confidence.

Especially before the experience, Xia Duo would never have believed that just by relying on a stick of Incense and a passage of incantation, he could have an experience of embodying the Main Plane, and even spread his perception to the entire region.

……

Xia Duo felt that the Incense should just be an aid, and the key roles should be those incantations; as far as his own experience went, the presence of the incantations was indeed stronger.

But during the first enlightenment resonance, Xia Duo had clearly perceived the existence of the Kalimshan Desert; this is proof that the Water Spirit is not the Water Element.

But—

Hum—

"

Nan—

……

I discovered that this current experience is very similar to 【Huashanshuiliu】 and 【Control Water】 that I tried when I first awakened my bloodline, only now the range of control is larger, even exceeding normal water itself.

It's just that this time, perhaps due to the lack of Incense as an aid, Xia Duo was unable to spread his perception to the entire Main Plane, but instead went from Daxia Territory to the Narrow Sea, and then, with the Narrow Sea as the center, spread to other rivers.

Angtuo rested for a moment before indicating to Xia Duo that they could continue, so Xia Duo picked up the basin again; the basin itself likely had its own requirements, but the key was the water inside. Xia Duo guessed that it might be using water as an excitation medium to generate and strengthen perception related to water.

Considering that the duration of the incantation was not long, Xia Duo quickly gathered his stray thoughts and focused his perception on the basin; very soon, the same experience as the first time appeared.

Even other spells unrelated to the Water Element!

How could this not make one feel frustrated!

How does it feel even more overpowered than systematic Arcane Magic?

Is this Primitive Sorcery?

Perhaps because he had too many thoughts, Xia Duo was unable to resonate with the incantation at the first moment, but instead focused on the incantation itself. If one only focuses on the incantation itself, it seems to be just a very ordinary pronunciation; even if it might not be used in daily life, as long as an ordinary person wants to learn it, they can imitate it.

Noticing that Xia Duo's expression was unusual, Angtuo asked with concern: "Lord, how is it? Have you felt the existence of the Water Spirit?"

No matter how good Primitive Sorcery is, it is not systematic, and it is not even necessarily repeatable; in today's world where Arcane Magic is prevalent, Primitive Sorcery is already a thing of the past.

But I didn't expect that these rituals from ancient traditions would actually possess such magical effects.

However, Xia Duo still remembered his true purpose for trying Primitive Sorcery: to learn the methods of controlling and utilizing Yuan Shi Zhi Li. As for absorbing and integrating it into Arcane Magic, that can be left to the Mages from Langasi to do.

This is truly too bizarre; even now, having experienced it personally, there is still a strong sense of unreality in my heart!

If Primitive Sorcery can do this, it means that current Arcane Magic still has huge room for improvement; isn't that worth being happy about?

Gradually, Xia Duo understood a bit of what Angtuo meant by the Water Spirit being everywhere; it does not mean that the Water Element is omnipresently distributed throughout the Main Plane—that kind of statement is not accurate.

After trying the Wizard enlightenment twice, Xia Duo did not continue, but began to trace his memories, repeatedly experiencing in his mind that wonderful state of resonating with the Water Element, embodying the Water Spirit, and gaining transcendent perception.

To the east, it didn't even reach Akaola, and to the west, it only reached the Yierlan area.

In the future, they would also be more willing to have the ancient knowledge of their ancestors inherited in modern times in a more modernized way!

But the method of Primitive Sorcery is simple: just fold it casually, blow on it when throwing, and then it is very strangely carried by the environmental wind into the target circle two hundred meters away.

"You should have felt it, right? Try again, this time don't use the Incense."

First, he heard the faint sound of water colliding with his excellent hearing, then resonated with the incantation to obtain Water Element perception.

If we use throwing a paper airplane as an analogy, the approach of Arcane Magic is to calculate the origami structure, consider aerodynamics, the angle and speed of the throw, environmental conditions, etc., and finally find the best plan to throw the paper airplane into a circle two hundred meters away.

That is to say, the Water Element cannot be omnipresent; at the very least, it is impossible for there to be much Water Element in desert areas, and in extreme cases, there might be none at all.

Under the condition that the Magic Net exists, the Water Element in an area can only exist in the form of a manifestation, which is water, and not in a free form, which is the elemental state.
