Chapter 789: Domain Spellcasting, 5-Circle Reduction Effect

If the 【Progress Society】 is a new force rising rapidly within the Tower of Time, then the remaining people can all be classified as the old forces.

Of course, Niya, Aiboke, and Saixili are not included in this.

As for the rest of those people, Xia Duo did not go to find them; letting Niya or Aiboke come forward might be better. After finishing the meeting with the people from the Progress Society, he left the Tower of Time.

……

Mythallar Ruins.

At this moment, the ruins remained the same, but the chaotic Magic Net environment had calmed down significantly. Previously, when Xia Duo went to Seventon, he actually harbored some thoughts of tricking a few Arcanists into coming over to repair the Magic Net.

But the situation changed a bit too quickly; the joint operation shortly after occupied most of his thoughts, so this matter was not considered.

Standing outside the Tower of Time, he could reach the tower body with a single stretch of his hand. Xia Duo hesitated about whether to return to the Territory. Although he had not been attacked in Seventon, who could guarantee that there would be none in the Territory!

Perhaps that Wide Grand Arcanist was waiting for him in the Territory!

After thinking for a while, Xia Duo turned around and returned to the Tower of Time. In the face of a life that had almost attained immortality, being a little cautious was nothing.

Moreover, it was not strictly necessary to return to the Territory in person to complete what he needed to do.

While pondering how to proceed, Xia Duo had already arrived at Niya's Study on the top floor of the Tower of Time. Niya should still be resting in the bedroom on the 6th Layer at this time; after a night of intimacy, not everyone had the physical constitution he possessed after multiple Bloodline Awakenings.

He strolled to the window not far from the desk; this was actually a Scrying device, which would normally project the scene outside the Tower of Time.

At this moment, the window displayed a scene of blue sky and white clouds.

Whether it was Niya or himself, both had observed the situation of the Daxia Territory residents' pioneering efforts here, but today he prepared to do something special.

He first cast a Spell himself, projecting his Perception Field to Linshui Village, while simultaneously projecting everything perceived by the Perception Field onto this window.

It looked no different from the past, but the source of the Spell was different.

With a Spell cast by Xia Duo, his own perception would synchronize with the Perception Field, equivalent to being there in person, whereas the Perception Field of a mere Scrying device could only project the image without allowing the observer to synchronize their perception.

Actually, it was possible for Xia Duo not to choose to cast here, though it would be slightly more difficult. However, for what he was about to do, choosing this place was better; after all, this Scrying device itself also possessed auxiliary Spellcasting functions.

……

Before long, the Spellcasting was complete. Xia Duo discovered that he had already returned to Linshui Village, quietly hovering above the Lord's Villa, though at this moment he was still in an intangible and formless state.

The wind passed through his "body" without any obstruction, not even triggering a louder sound of wind.

Although it was not his first time casting a Scrying Spell, Xia Duo was still captivated by this magical Magic. He quickly adjusted the position of the Detection Field and arrived inside the villa, where the conference room was located.

Following that was the truly critical step—

He attempted to cast a Spell with the help of the Perception Field here!

Theoretically, synchronizing perception to the Perception Field, aside from lacking a physical body, was actually no different from coming here in person.

In his own perception, the body existed.

In other words, the conceptualized body and will within the Perception Field could also cast Spells. Xia Duo had seen many cases where it was said that as long as a Mage could see a scene, they could cast Spells directly at that scene.

It was just that no one had revealed the details, so he was just exploring and attempting it himself.

However, he believed he was very likely to succeed!

Among Xia Duo's Bloodline Abilities were 【Water Control】 and 【Wind Control】, which allowed him to assimilate and control water domains and air domains, extending his consciousness and will beyond his body.

And with the existence of water domains and air domains, he could extend his Spell Source Point to a great distance; in layman's terms, he could cast Spells with the help of water domains and air domains.

How similar this situation was to the Perception Field!

Xia Duo had reason to believe that one could also cast Spells with the help of the Perception Field!

In the past, when he cast the Perception Field, he could also perceive the existence of the Magic Net. Although it was difficult to make contact, this also strengthened his idea.

Difficult did not mean unfeasible!

Now, he had already reached the 6th Layer of the Magic Net, and his connection to the Magic Net was even tighter; there was no reason not to even dare to try!

……

After the conceptualized body stood firm in the villa's conference room, Xia Duo began to contact the nearby Magic Net with his will and attempted to control it. At first, it was extremely unsatisfactory, but it made him feel a little relieved.

Compared to being almost unable to make contact before, it was already much better now!

And as Xia Duo continued to attempt it, he felt as if he had returned to his time as an Apprentice, struggling with himself just to practice a Spell once.

Not knowing how much time had passed, when the first 【Light】 appeared in the conference room, Xia Duo felt like he was going to cry.

This feeling was no milder than when he first learned the Spell 【Light】; it was even more intense!

With this excitement and agitation, his perception immediately detached from the Perception Field and instantly returned to Xia Duo's physical body in the Tower of Time.

However, he was not discouraged by this; after adjusting his mood, he soon began the next round of attempts.

……

In this round of attempts, except for the Scrying Spell being slightly troublesome, all other related attempts were quickly completed by him.

The situation was slightly different from what he had anticipated.

First, casting Spells with the help of the Perception Field was indeed feasible; there was no doubt about that, but the problem was that the highest level of Spell he could cast was only 1st Circle.

This was a bit unacceptable!

This almost directly declared that this method of Spellcasting would be very lackluster. If it weren't for this special situation, Xia Duo estimated he would never use this method of Spellcasting.

At the same time, the fact that the maximum was only 1st Circle was also very interesting. The first five layers of the Magic Net seemed to constitute a relatively independent whole; this could be seen from the fact that when becoming an Advanced Arcanist, one only contacts the five layers of the Magic Net at best.

Xia Duo speculated that if it were when he had just become an Advanced Rank Mage, perhaps he could also cast Spells through the Perception Field, only the highest Spell he could cast then might have been 0 Ring!

A drop of 5 Circles directly—that really is reality!

At least after Xia Duo controlled the water domain and air domain, the highest circle of Spells he could cast with their help was exactly the same as his physical body, without the slightest discount.

He speculated that it was very likely that after controlling the water domain and air domain, it was a direct extension of consciousness and will, whereas through the Perception Field, it was an indirect projection of consciousness and will.

Being separated by a layer was what caused this situation to occur.

If that were really the case, perhaps it would be very difficult to find a way to improve it in the future.
