Chapter 3003: Experimental Verification, Feasible Plan

Generally speaking, even when casting spells in the Main Plane, there will be Spell Residue, usually manifesting as fragmented Magic Aura, which is essentially the chaos of the local Magic Net environment.

Depending on the Spell Circle, the duration of Spell Residue varies; generally, the higher the circle, the longer the Spell Residue persists.

The vast majority of 10th Ring Spell Residue can persist for over a year, but likewise, the Spell Residue of any spell can also be manually eliminated.

Especially for those high-circle spells, in order to prevent potential lurkers, most Mages will casually clear away residual traces after completing their spellcasting.

Previously, after Xia Duo and Saville experimented in the Ether Plane, they did not deliberately clear the residual traces after casting; on one hand, the Ether Mist gathered at that time suddenly erupted, making it unsuitable to take action, and on the other hand, they wanted to see exactly what traces would be left behind.

If they were permanent traces, it would highly likely mean that the spells provided by Pulitatisi were problematic; fortunately, the other party did not play clever tricks in such an easily verifiable area.

At this moment, Xia Duo and Saville returned to the Black Forest, back to the place where they originally conducted the experiment. After a detailed inspection, Xia Duo determined that the previous Spell Residue was not permanent; in the environment of the Ether Plane, it would take about half a year to dissipate completely.

"First, create an Ether Boundary at the original location to see if we can still see the four Plane Phantoms we saw before."

This is a simple comparative experiment used to verify the reliability of the Ether Boundary Exploration method; if it is the same Plane Phantom every time, one can certainly discover fewer new planes in the short term.

But in the long run, it is beneficial for summarizing experience and then obtaining a more stable growth in the number of new plane discoveries by continuously increasing the Spell Energy Level.

The area where a large amount of Mist gathered transformed into a pure Crystal with edges shimmering with colorful light. As the Mist continued to gather, light spots began to emerge in the Crystal, and later the light spots enlarged into distinct, visible color blocks.

But by casting spells step-by-step, although Xia Duo is not as seasoned a veteran Spellcaster as Saville in terms of spellcasting proficiency, he is not too shabby, and he still meets the passing grade.

Among them, for the plane where the Plane Beacon lost contact before, I specifically deployed an adjusted Beacon Artifact; this time it should not lose contact.

……

Judging from past experience, it should be some data on the morphological changes of the Ether Plane, but the Main Plane does not have much research on the Ether Plane itself; it is mostly used for teleportation through the Ether Plane.

Light red, the position is slightly offset compared to before!

It is estimated that the same plane will not work; perhaps it is necessary to establish observation points in other planes (corresponding Ether Planes) as well.

After everything was handled properly, Xia Duo notified Saville to stop maintaining the Ether Boundary, and then the two rose from the ground again and flew to a high place.

This shows that the Main Plane and other nearby planes are in a relatively stable state in terms of space-time relationships; of course, it also verified the reliability of the Ether Boundary route and proved that the concealment measures I previously deployed in those three planes were effective.

Xia Duo did not give Saville a chance to refute and started directly; only by doing it himself did he know the difficulty of the spell Create Ether Boundary, which is not like most spells that can be stably controlled after completing a certain amount of the spellcasting process.

Before coming, Xia Duo had already discussed the experimental process with Saville; the first time was still Saville casting the spell to create the Ether Boundary, while Xia Duo, in addition to Alert Protection, also added an investigation of the Ether Boundary itself.

But this time, the two did not return directly to the Floating City, but moved away from the experimental area just now to find a new experimental site.

"I will cast the spell this time."

Very quickly, under the effect of Saville's spell, the Ether Mist was once again continuously gathered into the space-limited experimental area and soon reached the Critical State.

Of course, in addition to verifying the plane exploration method, this experiment can also reflect the space-time relationship between the Main Plane and other nearby planes to a certain extent.

A pure Crystal took shape, almost exactly the same as the experiment at the previous location. As the Critical State continued to climb, light spots appeared in the Crystal again, as well as the color blocks after the light spots were enlarged.

Of course, deploying five beacons is also to verify by the way whether the five planes discovered this time are the same five discovered last time.

The state of the Plane Phantom alone cannot be fully determined; after all, the world is so big that it is inevitable that planes with similar attributes will appear. Although the possibility of them appearing in the Main Plane at the same time is almost zero, it is not zero after all.

Instead, it requires continuous spellcasting; in other words, this is actually a Guidance spell, and it is more complex, more cumbersome, and more difficult than any Guidance spell I have seen before.

Subsequently, Xia Duo probed the Ether Boundary through his own method, but unfortunately, the results fed back by the Scrying spell could not be interpreted for the time being.

But if there are no surprises, by studying the Ether Boundary itself, one should be able to find a shortcut to touch the essence of the Ether.

After probing with various means, Xia Duo began to re-deploy the Beacon Artifacts. He did not miss them because three of the planes had already been deployed with beacons, but as usual, he deployed five.

Xia Duo switched his perspective to observe the color blocks in the Crystal; they were still the same as before, a total of five, and one needs to look from five different perspectives to truly see them.

……

The rest is more of a problem of mentality, and Xia Duo has the Thought Robe as a foundation, which eliminates worries; the biggest consequence of failure is nothing more than being teased by Saville a few times, which to me is actually not something to take to heart at all.

Then, in the future, in order to discover more new planes, when the Critical State cannot be further increased, one can obtain a wider observation perspective by changing the observation position.

In other words, if the position of creating the Ether Boundary is different, the adjacent Plane Phantoms that can be seen may also be different.

The reason why they are the same now may be because the two experimental positions are still not too far apart, at least not far enough to make the Plane Phantoms in the Ether Boundary change.

And according to the spell data provided by Pulitatisi, the higher the Critical State, the larger the range of adjacent planes that can be "seen".

As for the images from other perspectives, Saville also quickly synchronized them to me—the color of the blocks is the same as the previous two experiments, but the position is slightly offset.

With no problems in mentality and Saville watching the external environment, Xia Duo's spellcasting process had no twists and turns; he quickly gathered a large amount of Ether Mist and sent it into the Critical State.

Since Xia Duo had to maintain the spellcasting, he could only see the Plane Phantom from his own perspective in the pure Crystal transformed by the Ether Mist—

Being teased by elders and seniors is just that.

As for the relationship between Ether Mist and the Ether Plane itself, Xia Duo only has a rough guess for the time being and cannot be sure.
