Chapter 432: Plane Synchronization

"I told my teacher about the discovery of the Sub-plane, and she told me to come back and seal this plane." Hearing just the first half, Niya's words truly disappointed him. How could she tell someone else about such a thing! Even if it was her teacher, she shouldn't have! Shouldn't one keep quiet and make a fortune?

However, upon hearing the second half, Xia Duo became a bit curious. Seal a plane? How exactly does one seal it?

In the Library of the Tower of Time, there was basically very little information regarding Sub-planes. Not even many Mage Towers possessed a Plane Exploration Array. How could truly critical information be revealed so easily? At the very least, Xia Duo did not know there was such a thing as sealing a plane, or rather, such a procedure.

Hearing Niya explain only one sentence was truly insufficient. Before teleporting to the Plane Exploration Layer, Xia Duo asked Niya, "What is the use of sealing a plane? How do you seal it? Why did the Princess ask you to come back to seal the plane?"

However, it was too late to answer this on this side of the teleportation. With a flash of white light, the two appeared together in the Preparation Teleportation Hall of the Plane Exploration Layer, which corresponded to the Projection Hall used for Astral Projection.

This place was somewhat similar to the Teleportation Room on the Public Level, having been equipped with a Teleportation Array. However, compared to the Teleportation Room, the level of Protection here was far higher. After all, a Portal connecting to an Other Plane might be opened here, and no one knew what might emerge from the other side.

Because the Tower of Time was not entirely built by a Great Arcanist—the Great Arcanist Saville disappeared when the Tower of Time was only half-built—some configurations did not reach their ultimate potential.

For instance, this Preparation Teleportation Hall; there should have been multiple, but now there was only one.

And one Preparation Teleportation Hall could only connect to one plane at a time. If multiple Sub-planes were discovered, they could not be connected simultaneously and would have to wait in line one by one.

Fortunately, there was room for subsequent expansion, and plus, only one Sub-plane had been discovered so far.

Only here could various Plane Exploration activities be safely carried out. Of course, this was limited to when the Spellcaster was in the Main Plane; once they reached the Sub-plane, that was a different matter entirely.

While linking the Plane Exploration Array to check the information on the discovered Sub-plane, Niya answered Xia Duo's previous question, "Sealing a plane is to prevent this plane from being detected by Plane Exploration Arrays. With the Magic Scroll personally crafted by my teacher, sealing it is not difficult."

"As for why my teacher asked me to come and seal the plane, she didn't say, but I guess she wants to reserve this plane for the Tower of Time."

Hearing this explanation, Xia Duo had even more questions. If sealing it could prevent it from being detected by other Mage Towers' Plane Exploration Arrays, this meant that what was being sealed was not the plane itself, but some kind of characteristic that could be detected by the Plane Exploration Array.

Then, was the relationship between sealing technology and search technology similar to that between stealth materials and radar?

Xia Duo also thought of another question: the Tower of Time's Plane Exploration Array was left behind by the late Great Arcanist Saville, and it might be outdated by now, which was why it was so difficult to search for Projection Planes and Sub-planes, and not just because of the lack of Astral Mages and Plane Scholars.

Thinking about it this way, the Princess's sealing method was not absolutely foolproof; perhaps it would be discovered by more advanced search technology tomorrow! "Fortunately! It is a plane dominated by the Water Element." A hint of relief was in Niya's voice.

According to her understanding, most of the currently discovered Sub-planes possessed a certain polarity of energy elements; the extreme ones were even close to the Inner Plane. The Inner Plane was not a material plane, or rather, they were not planes at all, but just a kind of "source."

In that case, the Sub-plane could no longer be considered a plane, but only an extension of the Inner Plane. Such planes were extremely precious to a Great Arcanist, but for the Tower of Time, they were completely unusable.

A plane dominated by the Water Element was generally an environment with plenty of water, possibly with floating islands where people could live, possessing a certain value for development.

Of course, even if there were no islands, the resources in the seawater were not in short supply.

Thinking of this, Niya immediately made a decision, "Xia Duo, I am going to head to this Sub-plane immediately to seal it."

"Wait! You are going yourself?" Niya's words gave Xia Duo a fright. Did she have to be so reckless! This was like a spaceship discovering an unknown planet and just casually deciding to go for a manned landing.

If there were virus infections, abnormal gravity, unknown creatures, or something else, it would be tragic.

He couldn't help but ask: "Does sealing a plane require going to the plane in person? Can't the sealing effect be transmitted through a Portal?"

"No." Niya shook her head, "This Magic Scroll my teacher gave me requires me to go there in person to activate it; the Portal cannot transmit this effect."

Niya was so firm that Xia Duo didn't know how to persuade her, so he said, "What if you appear at the bottom of the water when you get there?"

Niya herself had just said that this was a plane dominated by the Water Element; it might very well be an underwater world. Even for an Arcanist, suddenly appearing on the seabed carried great risks.

After their deep conversation last time, their relationship had become much closer, and Niya could not ignore Xia Duo's concern, only saying in a relaxed tone:

"I know you are worried, but I have the confidence to go there in person. I have already been to several Sub-planes in Seventon before. Watch me!"

Since Niya had said so, Xia Duo stopped trying to persuade her. He was only judging based on his own knowledge and insights; perhaps in the world of Magic, there were specialized Spells to deal with such situations that he was unaware of.

The two reached an agreement, and Niya acted quickly. She first activated the Protection measures within the Preparation Teleportation Hall, and then, under the cover of a large area of Magic Aura, she activated the Plane Portal.

Before long, a cerulean Portal rose from the floor of the Preparation Teleportation Hall, roughly two people tall, in the shape of a swirling circle, different from any Portal Xia Duo had seen before.

It was as if it were a great whirlpool formed entirely of seawater, and no matter which direction one looked from, it was a frontal view of the whirlpool.

Perhaps this also indicated that the other side was a Sub-plane dominated by the Water Element.

Xia Duo took a small step back, while Niya had already begun Spellcasting. She did not dive in as soon as she saw the Portal, but first released a translucent blue ray from her fingertip into the Portal.

And this made Xia Duo certain that Niya indeed possessed the professional Spells to deal with such situations.

Not long after the ray entered the Portal, Niya seemed to have received some information, and then another Spell that Xia Duo had never seen before was activated.

In Magic Vision, this Spell caused the Magic Net String linked to Niya's body to undergo some subtle changes, forming a relatively stable new state.

This was an unknown Transmutation Spell.

This Spell changed Niya herself. Xia Duo did not know what had happened to Niya, but it was clear that after casting this Spell, Niya just walked into the whirlpool-shaped Portal.

Not long after, a familiar head poked out from the great whirlpool, with wet short black hair plastered to her forehead, giving Xia Duo a fright. Fortunately, the head spoke:

"The sealing is complete. The scenery here is quite nice; do you want to come over and take a look?"
