Chapter 354: Chapter 196: Mastering the Heart of Elements, The God-Slaying War

Julis hurriedly took out her materials and began to establish a plane channel.

Without Pei Ze’s protection, she didn’t dare to stay here long by herself.

...

「Chenxi City, Inner City.」

The grand hall beneath the mansion.

With a flash of light, Pei Ze appeared out of thin air in the center of the hall.

He glanced down at the now-useless Scroll in his hand. With a mere thought, a flicker of fire appeared, incinerating the Scroll to ash that scattered into the air.

Pei Ze had yet to master the means of traversing between planes. Thus, he could only travel to other planes through established plane channels, like the Plane Gate to the Shadow Realm he had used before.

As for planes like the Thunder Elemental Half-Plane, which were too unstable to establish a permanent, fixed channel, the only way to travel there was by using a Plane Teleportation Scroll.

The two Plane Teleportation Scrolls for the round trip had cost Pei Ze five hundred thousand Magic Stone Coins, a sum that made him wince.

’I need to master a method for traversing planes as soon as possible.’

He would only have more and more opportunities to travel to other planes in the future. If he had to use a Plane Teleportation Scroll every time, he wouldn’t be able to afford it, no matter how good he was at making money.

’Fortunately, I’ve also obtained the relevant knowledge.’

Pei Ze left the underground hall and went to his study. He sat down, took out the Memory Crystal Ball, and began to carefully peruse its contents.

The methods for traversing planes were many and varied, but they could be broadly divided into three categories.

The first was to establish a Plane Gate.

This method could transport large numbers of people at once, but its cost was immense. It was typically used in interplanar wars for troop deployment.

The second was to build a Plane Teleportation Array.

This method could transport far fewer people than a Plane Gate, but it had the advantage of being less costly and more stable. It could even be solidified into a permanent plane channel.

Compared to Plane Gates, Plane Teleportation Arrays were much more common.

The final method involved creating a planar fissure.

Beings of immense power could rely on their own strength to shatter the planar barrier, carving open a temporary channel to traverse between planes.

This method had almost no external cost, relying entirely on the user’s own power, making it the most convenient and direct approach.

However, those capable of such a feat were exceedingly rare; they were all peak powerhouses standing at the very apex of the Multiverse.

Even an Elemental Mage would find it difficult to shatter a planar barrier with their power alone. More often, they had to borrow the energy of a Wizard Tower to open a temporary plane channel.

To shatter a planar barrier through personal strength, one would need to be at least at Level 6 Peak, and even then, only if they had begun to grasp Rule Power.

’At that point, your power would be comparable to that of a Divine Spirit.’

Pei Ze marveled internally.

Divine Spirits were arguably among the beings with the deepest understanding of planar knowledge.

After all, the prerequisite for becoming a Divine Spirit was to create one’s own Divine Kingdom attached to a Main Plane. This was simply impossible without a profound understanding of planes.

The knowledge on planar travel he had obtained from Julis primarily covered the second and third methods.

In addition, it included a significant amount of information regarding spatial displacement.

However, the latter was of little use to Pei Ze.

The catalog of Sixth Ring Spells already included two spells: Dimension Jump and Dimensional Shift.

The former allowed the Caster to perform a short-range teleport, while the latter could teleport multiple targets a short distance within the Caster’s line of sight.

These two spells were no worse than the spatial displacement abilities of the Silver Moon Elves.

As for ultra-long-distance teleportation, Pei Ze also possessed the Dimensional Flash Alchemy Engraving.

The only thing he lacked was a way to traverse between planes.

’Omniscience, improve the knowledge of Plane Teleportation Arrays,’ Pei Ze recited silently in his mind.

At his current stage, he couldn’t yet shatter a planar barrier. If he wanted to traverse planes, he had to rely on the second method.

[Task created: Improve knowledge of Plane Teleportation Arrays. Estimated requirement: 14,269 energy-levels of Spiritual Power]

Pei Ze nodded to himself. ’Not bad. The cost isn’t too high.’

’Of course, my priority right now is still analyzing the ancient runes. Improving the Plane Teleportation Array knowledge can wait.’

’Speaking of which, I should tell my teacher about the Godfiend.’

A glint in his eye, Pei Ze rose and walked out.

...

"A Godfiend?"

After listening to Pei Ze’s account, Mo Weng’s brow furrowed in deep thought.

News of Godfiends had been exceedingly rare since the Dark Age. He hadn’t expected one to suddenly appear in the Dark Territory.

After a long moment, Mo Weng spoke slowly, "We can’t be certain yet if what that Silver Moon Elf said is true. I’ll send someone to verify the intelligence... On second thought, I’d better go myself."

Pei Ze was taken aback. ’Why does Mo Weng seem to be taking this so seriously?’

He had only told Mo Weng about the Godfiend in the hopes of learning more about them from him. In truth, he didn’t think the matter had any real connection to his teacher.

’Even if the Godfiend destroyed the Dark Territory, what does that have to do with us in Chenxi City?’

’No matter how destructive a Godfiend is, it couldn’t possibly wreak havoc on the Wizard Plane.’

’As for capturing a Godfiend for research... that’s even more out of the question!’

’The Star Realm Alliance explicitly forbids the breeding and study of Fell Creatures, so something as dangerous as a Godfiend would be even more strictly prohibited.’

’Besides, a Godfiend isn’t something an Elemental Mage can study anyway.’

’To study a Godfiend, you’d have to be at least a Rule Wizard, otherwise you’d certainly suffer a backlash.’

Pei Ze couldn’t help but ask, "Teacher, you seem very concerned about the Godfiend in the Dark Territory?"

Mo Weng glanced at Pei Ze, seeming to guess his thoughts. He shook his head and said, "I’m not concerned about the Godfiend. I’m concerned about the Spider Goddess."

Pei Ze was stunned.

"The Godfiend’s appearance in the Dark Territory is bound to deal a heavy blow to the Dark Elf race. Although the Spider Goddess is a madwoman who enjoys watching her followers fight and kill one another, she would never stand by and watch the Dark Elves face extinction. If she did, she herself would fall into a deep slumber or even perish."
