[Item Description]

This spell can only be learned by Tower Mages, core members of the Tower Scholars faction. It requires a pre-constructed blueprint to use.

[Item Effects]

The first step is to construct a blueprint for a tower within the ocean of the mind.

The second step is to use the [Binding Energy Field] to build the energy framework of the tower.

The third step is to use [Shaping] to control the soil in nature, or building materials processed by enchanting, to fill the energy frame.

The fourth step is to use the tower components of the elemental shell to connect with the magic array inside the tower, thereby gaining full control over all functions of the tower.

...

【Binding Field】is an energy-shaping spell that only high-level mages can learn.

It can confine pure elemental energy into a specific shape.

【Shaping】is the representative of earth-based shaping magic. It can change the appearance of a specified non-living object or temporarily create a simple structure using elemental energy. Once the energy is exhausted, the magical creation will dissipate.

【Ice Control】 is a simplified version of 【Shaping】.

Once Xia Zuo advances to become a high-ranking mage, he will be able to learn the [Shaping Technique].

Considering that the Tower Mage might also possess anti-gravity magic...

Imagine what would happen if you added a magic circle or enchantment with anti-gravity effects to a tower...

A flying tower?

And look at the tower's shape, thick at the base and tapering at the top... isn't this just a magical version of a manned rocket?

If Xia Zuo could think of using a tall tower to reach the heavens, the ancient immortals in the inner sanctum of the temple must have thought of it as well.

Moreover, they must have already put it into practice.

Xia Zuo recalled for a moment.

In the previous life's history, how long was the interval between the first airplane taking flight and the first human flight outside the Earth to the Moon?

It's been about 60 years.

The world we live in now has a history that can be traced back tens of thousands of years. No matter how turbulent the ground may be, human civilization should have attempted to take off into the air at least 10 times.

However, to date, there has never been any document about outer space in the temple.

The cosmic pollution that Christo mentioned is like a giant glass dome covering the surface of this planet, preventing everyone from exploring space and binding all living things firmly to the ground.

Thinking of this, Xia Zuo felt a sense of anxiety, like a trapped beast struggling for survival.

He looked up at the sky and for the first time felt that the vast starry sky was like a cosmic monster with its jaws wide open.

The planet beneath their feet was like a glass ball in the palm of a cosmic monster.

If nature hadn't activated the laws of the elements to resist the invasion of the alien demons, all life on this planet would have been wiped out long ago.

Chapter 102 Pillars of Creation

Xia Zuo stopped on a hilltop and turned to look at the Yeti settlement.

He gained a new understanding of the Mage Tower after connecting the tower with spacecraft.

If the Mage Tower could indeed be transformed into a flying machine, then the Temple's capture of all monsters that touch upon the tower's spells would take on another meaning.

The temple's role in preventing monsters from ascending into the sky is directly linked to the pollution of the cosmos.

This kind of inside-outside cooperation could greatly enhance monsters, or it could trigger the invasion of new alien monsters or monster species.

The temple may have been aware of this long ago, which is why it takes the toughest approach to the monsters within its territory: either eliminating them directly or putting them into cultivation tanks for biological alchemy, or strictly limiting the development of magic and alchemy.

and many more..

Something feels off.

Xia Zuo frowned in thought.

Did the Church of the Otherworldly Demons master the method of ascending into the sky?

The temple clearly has no good way to deal with the anti-magic field and cannot forcibly intervene in what happens within it.

Considering the appearance and stats of high-level alien demon observers, Xia Zuo believes that it is not impossible for such a super-large alien demon with permanent levitation properties to fly to an altitude of 10,000 meters.

What would happen if the Church of the Otherworld established a direct connection with the starry sky and gained further power?

Xia Zuo thought of the magic-blocking field.

Something capable of sealing the laws of elements is unlikely to be something that naturally exists in nature.

The anti-magic field is very likely related to some kind of item that Starry Sky gave to the Church of the Otherworld.

Thus, a convincing internal logic has been formed regarding the relationship between the starry sky, spacecraft, natural laws, and the anti-magic field.

Of course, this was only convincing to Xia Zuo.

After all, he has limited information at present, and when speculating on the connections between various things, he will inevitably bring subjective assumptions.

Xia Zuo looked at the firelight over the Yeti settlement, gradually calmed his mind, and continued his journey north.

...

After drifting more than 100 kilometers north, Xia Zuo had no choice but to continue on foot.

Snowflakes the size of basins fell from the sky, and the gale swirled the snowflakes, slapping against Xia Zuo's cloud-like body. In just a few moments, Xia Zuo's ice barrier would collapse, and his health would drop sharply.

After his cloud-like body was blown away by the wind several times, he obediently landed on the ground, covered his face with a hood and mask, wrapped himself tightly in a brightly patterned embroidered cloak, and braved the howling cold wind as he walked step by step toward the huge mountain peak on the horizon.

The wind and snow intensified, and Xia Zuo had to stop every so often, crawl into the snow, and use his Ice Control Technique to create an ice cave to shelter himself.

An oval layer of ice, three fingers thick, encased him like an egg, protecting him from the wind and snow.

Suddenly freed from the howling wind and entering a narrow, quiet space, Xia Zuo felt a profound sense of loneliness.

He felt as if he had entered a deserted, snowy world.

Time becomes meaningless here, because it snows all day long.

Faced with natural wonders, a sorcerer's magical skills are insignificant. Any sorcerer would set aside their arrogance and subconscious sense of superiority here and pay homage to the greatness of nature.

The attributes on the character template have also become incredibly fragile.

Even with the help of the elemental shell and shell components, as well as the assistance of many blood magic spells such as [Blood Sacrifice Spell], Xia Zuo's health remained fluctuating.

The omnipresent, chilling winds and cold air constantly assaulted his body from all sorts of strange angles.

He could only huddle inside the icy "egg" beneath the snow, warming himself with the [Heating Spell] amidst his exhausted panting, and entering meditation under intense mental tension, fearing that he would suffocate and die an inexplicable death.

Day after day passed, and Xia Zuo had lost count of how many times he had used the [Pathfinding Technique].

Until he lost his footing and accidentally stepped into a puddle of snow water mixed with ice chips.

The snow-covering technique, essential for walking in the snow, quickly lifted his feet out of the snow and water, allowing them to float on the surface of the water, which was half ice shards and half icy water.

Xia Zuo suddenly lost his balance and shivered. He looked around in a daze, then turned to look at Fei Xue behind him.

"this.."

谷骀

Xia Zuo opened his mouth, unable to describe the scene before him in words.

An invisible, towering barrier stood half a meter behind him.

Beyond the barrier, a fierce wind swept across the land, and the vast expanse of ice and snow was the only color in the world.

Within the barrier, extending from where Xia Zuo is now standing to the foot of the great volcano, the temperature has returned to above zero.

As soon as the cold wind entered the barrier, it immediately became gentle and mild, blowing into the brim of the hood like a spring breeze and stirring Xia Zuo's hair.

The snow slid into the barrier, slowly melting into meltwater that seeped to the bottom, leaving behind pools of glistening water.

Snowflakes drifting into the barrier melt as quickly as cotton candy at the entrance, turning into raindrops that fall to the ground, creating splashes and ripples on the puddles.

Xia Zuo took a deep breath. "This is amazing."

He was deeply moved by this journey deep into the frozen snowfield.

Even if humans master the power of the elements and become great mages or high-ranking mages, they are still just tiny individuals when faced with the magnificent power of nature.

Xia Zuo looked up at the sky, his eyes showing surprise.

There were no blue skies and white clouds as I had imagined, no bright sunshine under a clear sky, only dark, heavy clouds.

The dark clouds are very, very far from the ground, but you can see the constantly rolling waves on the surface of the clouds with the naked eye. They look down at the ground like unpredictable ghost faces, making every human who looks up at the sky feel fear.

Xia Zuo's gaze shifted from the clouds overhead to the north.

A towering black column of smoke pierced the sky, sending billowing smoke high into the air.

The base of this plume of smoke is connected to the crater of the large volcano, where a faint crimson glow can be seen.

"This Pillar of Creation feels like a giant, open black umbrella..."

Xia Zuo sighed, gradually regained his senses, transformed into a cloud of energy, and drifted towards the great volcano.

After walking several hundred meters, Xia Zuo saw many unruly elements flying in the air.

They flew together. The smaller elements, led by the larger elements, moved freely like shooting stars.

The further you go, the more unrestrained elements you encounter, resulting in increasingly diverse appearances when combined.

Meteors with trailing tails, ribbon-like colorful clouds, fluffy gas clouds shimmering with light, spheres suspended in the air, and spiraling nebulae.

There was even a group of unruly elements that formed a humanoid creature, waving to travelers visiting the great volcano.

Uh... wait a minute.

Humanoid creatures?

Are there other temple mages here participating in the Snowfield Trial?

Xia Zuo was taken aback and released a detection spell towards the glowing human who was flying towards them from a distance while waving his arms.
