My health recovery is incredibly fast.

In the previous life, this would have required at least a space shuttle or a launch vehicle to achieve.

In contrast, Selena only needed to summon a crystal shell to protect the two of them, and then simply continue to inject elemental energy into the crystal shell and fly along the predetermined flight path to achieve this.

The laws of elements are indeed more convenient than science.

Xia Zuo sensed the energy fluctuations around Selena and conservatively estimated that the spell's power was at least 500 points.

Selena's identity is not simple... Xia Zuo thought to himself.

He had initially thought that the other party might be a summoned entity, but now it seemed that Selena herself was a high-level mage.

Xia Zuo's detection spell only returned a lot of question marks.

He had some suspicion that Selena might be from the inner palace.

At that moment, the pressure on Xia Zuo suddenly disappeared, and the sound of the wind in his ears also quickly weakened.

He looked around and saw the scene he had imagined: a black cosmic background and white clouds reflecting sunlight, separated by a slightly curved horizon.

This height is already quite high, but the column of smoke not far away is still rising.

Xia Zuo looked up at the sky, marveling at the grandeur and magnificence of the Pillars of Creation, when he suddenly noticed that the stars in the sky seemed a little strange.

Most of the stars look normal, and they are extremely far away from the planet beneath our feet.

However, some stars move much faster than others, as if they were very close to the planet's surface.

Selena followed his gaze and looked. "You've already noticed, that's the residence of the inner temple mages."

Selena changed direction and flew towards the distant, drifting stars. "That's my home. We'll talk when we get there."

Wow, he really is a big shot from the inner palace...

Xia Zuo bowed slightly to the other party, "I apologize, Your Excellency. I was quite rude earlier. I thought you were an elemental puppet, I'm truly sorry."

“It’s alright, I don’t mind,” Selena said with a smile. “The Inner Temple mages are all like me, possessing both flesh and blood bodies and elemental bodies. If Christo hadn’t entrusted me to give you a direct experience of the elemental laws and the Inner Temple, I would have done the same, controlling my original body to meet you.”

"An elemental body?" Xia Zuo became curious and secretly examined the other person's face and hair. Upon closer inspection, Selena's appearance did indeed have the texture of elemental light.

"That's right, the elemental body is entirely composed of elemental energy and the corresponding energy field."

Selena flicked her long hair that was hanging over her shoulder.

"Once you become a high-level mage, you need to prepare for your advancement to archmage. After that, you will be promoted to hall mage. All the mages you encounter in the outer hall are at this level."

“For you, starting from the high-level mage stage, the speed of advancement will be much faster than before.”

"Why is that?" Xia Zuo asked.

"This is related to the elemental body," Selena explained patiently.

"Your current elemental body is based on the human skeleton, right?"

"Mmm." Xia Zuo nodded.

"The elemental shell built on the human skeleton is worn on the outside of the body. In the advanced theoretical knowledge of elemental shells, such an elemental shell is called the external shell."

Selena said:

"Without pure-blood mages providing life essence to combat aging, high-ranking mages will eventually die of old age just like ordinary people."

"But within the Tower Scholars, there is more than one way to combat aging and achieve immortality than relying on pure-blood mages."

"Adding an elemental shell to internal organs such as the heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and kidneys, as well as our brain, is the first choice for most tower mages to combat aging."

"This elemental shell applied to the body is also known as the inner shell. Once this step is completed, the elementalization of the flesh and blood body can begin, constructing a complete elemental body."

“Internal…external…body…” Xia Zuo pondered for a few seconds, “Then how can we ultimately achieve a body composed entirely of elemental energy and binding energy fields? Within this elemental body, where should our soul reside, our spirit…”

"hiss.."

The mere mention of spirits sent a jolt of electric shock through the back of Xia Zuo's head.

"Phew..." Xia Zuo rubbed his head and took a breath. "Alright. I'd better not think about the spirit body thing anymore."

“Christopher told me that you have a very active mind and keen intuition, and you often grasp the core of a problem. Now it seems that her assessment of you was correct. The spirit body is indeed the key to constructing the elemental body.”

Selena said:

"Once we get to my place, I'll help you erase some of your memories."

Selena looked ahead, and her home gradually came into view.

Flying at their altitude, it's difficult to have a direct sense of spatial distance.

The residence of any of the inner temple monks may seem close at hand, but to actually fly there would take at least ten minutes.

The pain in the back of his head came on quickly and went away just as fast. Xia Zuo caught his breath and recovered, squinting as he gazed at the inner sanctum of the monks.

It was a huge sphere with a transparent glass cover.

The sphere is divided in two. The upper half occupies two-thirds of the space and is enclosed by a hemispherical glass enclosure. The lower half is made of soil and rock. Between the two is a flat ground. There are orchards and a small field on the ground, and a man-made stream flows past the three-story castle.

There seemed to be some small animals in the orchards and fields, and a few wisps of white clouds drifted slowly near the top of the transparent glass dome.

The dwelling's light comes from a light source on top of the glass dome. If you are far enough away, you can't see any other scenery except for the light from the dwelling. This is why people on the ground have not been able to discover these unique stars.

We are about to arrive at our destination.

Selena slowed her flight.

Xia Zuo turned to look at the Pillar of Creation.

The plume of smoke was still clearly visible, towering into the sky like a long black needle piercing the surface of a planet from outer space.

The two arrived near the dwelling, passed unimpeded through the bubble-like glass dome, and landed smoothly on the grass.

Xia Zuo took a deep breath; the air was exceptionally fresh. Looking at the horizon and sea of ​​clouds outside the glass dome, a sense of serene tranquility arose spontaneously.

"I love this place so much. There's no hustle and bustle of the world, and I can immerse myself in research and learning magic," Xia Zuo remarked.

Selena shook her head slightly. "Shazo, the truth is quite the opposite. This is the front line of the Temple's fight against cosmic pollution. The inner temple mages rarely have time for their own affairs; most of the time, we are eliminating cosmic demons."

"Huh?" Xia Zuo was taken aback and looked around. "But where is the pollution of the starry sky?"

Selena raised her hand and waved it, controlling the cloud to leave the top of their heads. Then she snapped her fingers, turning off the light source on top of the glass dome.

The dwelling was plunged into darkness.

The two figures were enveloped by the starlight.

Countless black waves rolled in the far distance above.

Xia Zuo recognized that the black waves were the smoke from the Pillars of Creation.

While a large volcano is magnificent, it is still very small compared to an entire planet. It constantly spews out thick smoke, which inevitably becomes thinner as it disperses into the outermost layer of the planet's atmosphere.

"The dense fog released by the Pillars of Creation only allows light to pass through, such as sunlight, starlight, and moonlight, which can shine onto the earth without obstruction."

Selena's eyes turned white.

She glanced at the smoke above and pointed to a corner of the sky, "There, a gigantic, centipede-like Starry Sky Demon is fighting an Inner Temple Mage."

Selena turned her head to look at Xia Zuo, who was gazing into the distance.

"But you can't see that Starry Sky Demon, or the battle scene."

"This is the smoke from the Pillars of Creation protecting you. It filters out all the sights you cannot see, the sounds you cannot hear, and the smells you cannot smell."

"Because the evil thoughts of the Starry Sky Demons can instantly corrupt every human being."

"If you actually see what that Starry Sky Demon looks like, or hear its whispers, you will immediately explode into a bloody mess. Your shredded flesh will quickly reassemble into a flesh puppet that looks exactly like that demon, and your will will be permanently enslaved by it."

"That's terrifying..." Xia Zuo immediately withdrew his gaze and then asked, "Does that mean that if I fight with an elemental body, I can face the Starry Sky Demons head-on?"

“Yes, that’s right.” Selena nodded, raised her right hand and waved it, summoning the light source and clouds back.

"Before the inner sanctum was established, no mage possessed an elemental body. At that time, only the smoke of the Pillars of Creation fought alone against the pollution of the starry sky. Some powerful celestial demons broke through the smoke's blockade and fell to the ground, bringing disaster."

As Selena spoke, she conjured a stone bench and a stone table.

After inviting Xia Zuo to sit down, she continued:

"You may be wondering how the temple was built. The process is actually quite simple."

Selena opened her right hand and used illusion magic to construct an octahedral crystal, while arranging decorations around the crystal, such as a floor, a diamond-shaped dome, and statues standing around the crystal.

"Is this the giant teleportation crystal in the teleportation hall?" Xia Zuo immediately recognized where this illusion scene was.

“That’s right.” Selena stretched out her left hand and used illusion magic to create another scene—the Pillars of Creation and the Great Volcano.

"The giant teleportation crystal was not built by the alchemists and the scholars of the Tower. I, Krestor, and many inner temple mages, guided by the Crystal Remnants, came to the depths of the snowfield and discovered the Pillars of Creation."

Selena put her hands together, merging the two illusionary images into one.

The image of the giant teleportation crystal moved directly above the crater of the great volcano, enveloped in billowing smoke.

"This is the scene we saw when we first arrived at the Pillars of Creation."

Selena pointed to the image of the teleportation crystal. "We gained insights into the laws of the elements from this colossal crystal, instantly understanding how to improve the elemental shell and condense the inner shell. The method for constructing the elemental body also comes from this colossal crystal."

The illusion in Selena's hand changed; several tiny figures used long ropes to drag a huge crystal out of the thick smoke and slowly move forward in the frozen snowfield.

"With the help of this crystal, we found the Thunder Sea Plane as a transit plane for the new teleportation spell."

"Back then, a new transit plane was like a godsend. Moreover, this crystal could greatly enhance teleportation efficiency, but the range of influence was 2000 kilometers in radius of the crystal. So we moved it from the crater to the current teleportation hall to cover as much territory as possible."

Chapter 105 Chaotic Container (2-in-1)

It's not hard to deduce from Selena's words that the teleportation hall is located in the center of the temple territory.

The influence range of the colossal teleportation crystal is a circle with a radius of 2000 kilometers, so the size of the temple territory can be roughly estimated.

By combining the times of sunrise and sunset, Xia Zuo instantly constructed a rough map of his territory in his mind.

The Silvermoon Federation is located on the westernmost side of the Temple Territory. From west to east, the following are the Silvermoon Federation, the Kingdom of Truth of the Crystal Remnants, the Wild Hammer Kingdom, the territory of the Tower Mages and the Demon Hunter School, and further east is the territory of the Church of the Otherworldly Demons.

The teleportation crystal is located roughly to the west of the High Tower Mage's territory, bordering the Wild Hammer Kingdom.

As for the Golden Vitex Ideal Country, it should be located in the southern part of the Wild Hammer Kingdom, on the southern coast of the Eastern Continent. Further south, deep into the Southern Ocean, you will find the circular island.

This vast area is blessed by the enormous crystal, allowing temple members to reach their destination with perfect accuracy.

Xia Zuo couldn't help but secretly admire the extraordinary nature of the elemental laws and crystals.
