It was a wonderful feeling to have one's soul leave one's body!
Although it wasn't the first time Søren tried to project his soul out of his body, it was the first time he tried it in the real world. The strongest feeling was the weightlessness of his soul. Without the shackles of gravity, his soul felt light. However, it wasn't a complete soul that left his body. The moment it touched the light beam, Søren's soul was molded into a Soul Projection and sent directly to the Astral Gate.
The Soul Projection was only a part of the soul.
It wasn't the weight of a complete soul, so if it died, it wouldn't necessarily cause the body in the real world to die as well.
However, it would definitely cause a terrible amount of damage to the soul!
If the damage was too great, it could turn the person into an idiot, or even affect the real world, causing the existence of the Soul Projection to die on the spot! This could be understood simply according to the East. If the soul projection died, it would be like the scattering of a part of the Three Souls and Seven Spirits in Eastern mythology. It was possible for the projection to become crazy, or directly become an idiot. It was even possible for the projection to become a vegetable or die on the spot. Normally, this kind of Soul Projection would only be used in extremely dangerous places. It could also be used in places where the physical body couldn't reach. This would greatly reduce the cost of death.
Their souls were remolded into half-energy bodies!
The power of the Soul Projection was greatly reduced. Søren only kept about 80% of his strength, and all of his equipment below Legendary level was left on his body.
This was the reason why he didn't like to go to the Astral Gate!
Low-tier Rare items couldn't be converted into half-energy. Only Legendary equipment and above could be converted into Soul Projection, and it would be left on the Soul Projection after death. Therefore, even Legendary Wizards wouldn't bring their strongest Legendary equipment with them when they were in the Soul Projection state. However, Søren couldn't leave his equipment on his body. All of his Legendary equipment would directly affect his combat ability. Going to the Astral Gate without Legendary equipment would be suicide.
A brief moment of dizziness!
When Søren and Gloria regained their consciousness, they were already in front of the Astral Gate.
At this moment, there were about twelve Soul Projections gathered around the Eye of the North. When these Soul Projections noticed Søren's appearance, they couldn't help but show a trace of surprise on their faces. They then looked at Gloria in confusion. When they saw the expression on her face, the other Witches couldn't help but smile mischievously. It seemed like Gloria was quite popular, unlike her mother who wasn't likable.
All of the witches present were high-grade adepts, and at least a third of them were quasi-legendary adepts.
As for witches like Her Excellency Eye of the North, whose profession level was around level 25, it was estimated that there were not many witches like her in the whole world, so she should be the most powerful one among all of them.
If that was the case …
Soran was actually the weakest among the Soul Projections, and she was also a half-baked Wizard.
As for Søren's arrival, the Eye of the North didn't say much. She just glanced at him for a moment, then nodded at Gloria and said with a serious expression, "Prepare to teleport! Everyone, focus! "
The Astral Gate that had already been opened suddenly enveloped them. Immediately after, it was as if they had entered a rainbow light channel. Countless light spots that could not be seen with the naked eye shuttled back and forth in front of them. Therefore, the only thing that could be seen with the naked eye was many rainbow-like rays of light. Soul Projections were the simplest way to cross planes. Many Abyss Demons and Hell Devils would use this method to travel to other planes. When a Soul Projection died, it would only reduce a part of their strength. Most of the time, it wouldn't cause the death of the Soul Projection.
Adepts cherished their own lives very much!
Therefore, even in the face of a powerful enemy, the Eye of the North didn't ask the other Witches to go to the Astral Gate with their bodies.
… … …
The feeling of a soul passing through a membrane came.
Or it should be said that it was a bit like a person sinking into the sea. When Søren opened his eyes again, he was already standing on a very barren land. Above this land was a silver river, and there were almost no plants around. The feeling was like standing on the surface of the moon and looking at the universe. In front of him was a boundless silver river, like the Milky Way where countless stars gathered. Around this seemingly small piece of land, one could see countless star matter, as well as objects that were streaking past at high speed like meteors.
It could be just a comet, or it could be the corpse of an ancient God!
The Astral Gate had become a huge garbage dump.
In countless years, countless people had entered here and died here. There were also all kinds of existences that entered the Astral Gate for other reasons. In the end, the Astral Gate had completely turned into a huge garbage dump. In this garbage dump, you could find the corpse of an ancient God, hidden half-planes, fallen Divine Kingdoms, and even broken floating fortresses, huge Astral Warships, and so on. Almost everything you could think of could be found here.
Because this was a huge and all-encompassing garbage dump!
It was also the most dangerous garbage dump.
There was no air in the Astral Gate, so it was not easy for flesh and blood to survive here. They had to rely on the half-planes floating in the Astral Gate. Therefore, many travelers who entered the Astral Gate were soul projections in a semi-energy state, or powerful existences that were directly close to the form of a Saint. In this endless Astral Gate, there was a kind of energy. Wizards called it "Source Substance" and thought it was the most basic structure of the universe.
However, Søren still preferred to call it by another name.
"Dark Energy!"
Almost all half-planes must be connected to the "Astral Gate" and the "Ether Plane." The half-plane was a very special existence that was difficult to explain in a few words. However, one thing that could be easily understood was that even legendary Wizards could not provide the huge amount of energy needed to open up a half-plane. Therefore, all half-planes "grew" little by little. This was very similar to the Divine Kingdoms, but the energy for the growth of half-planes only came from two places.
One was the Astral Gate.
The other was the Ether Plane.
These two planes had an inexplicable relationship, and the structure of energy was also unknown. However, the Astral Gate was closer to the outer plane, while the Ether Plane was closer to the inner plane.
Søren was standing on a half-plane!
Because there were very few material structures inside the Astral Gate, there was almost no doubt that most of the material in the Astral Gate came from other planes.
Therefore, it was always called a garbage dump!
Even the half-plane under Søren's feet was a huge piece of garbage floating in the endless Astral Gate.
The half-plane was the carrier.
Without the support of this half-plane, Søren and the other Witches' soul projections would be directly exposed to the Source Substance of the Astral Gate, which was the silver torrent above their heads. This was a more troublesome thing, because this torrent of energy generated from the distorted space would have many dangerous Astral Gate creatures living in it. Even the Gods might not know the secrets of the Astral Gate, but they knew how to use the energy of the Astral Gate. The original creation of the world was made from the "Source Substance energy".
There were many things that Søren was not too clear about.
He could not remember much, but he knew that outside the torrent of energy that was like the Milky Way, there was an endless amount of dark energy and something called the "Crystal Wall".
The soul entered the Astral Gate!
A lot of data appeared in front of Søren's eyes in an instant:
"Soul projection completed! … "
"Soul entered the Astral Gate! … Soul came into contact with dark matter energy! … Soul came into contact with Source Substance energy! … "
"You've received some information about the Epic Background Ability [Astral Traveler]."
"You've received some information about the Epic Background Ability [Plane Explorer]."
…
"Soul structure completed!"
"Soul projection transformed into dark energy! … You've automatically learned the ability [Instant Spell]! … All spells below level 6 have entered the Instant Spell state! … "
…
From the moment they stepped into the Astral Gate.
Everyone's spellcasting ability began to skyrocket, as if some kind of shackle had been broken, and they were forcibly breaking free from the shackles of matter.
Then, they came into contact with the most primitive and essential energy.
This energy was everywhere, and it allowed them to automatically learn the ability to Instant Spell. Although they could still feel the Magic Net, it was as if they had jumped out of the Magic Net's effect and did not need the Magic Net to gather energy. All spellcasters who entered the Astral Gate automatically learned the ability [Instant Spell]. All spells below level 6 could be instantly cast, and legendary spells only needed half the casting time.
And this was before they even got close to the Sea of Source Substance.
If they got close to the Milky Way, or if they came into contact with the energy escaping from the distorted space, then even legendary spells could be instantly cast!
As long as your soul could withstand this energy, the Astral Gate could give you endless energy.
Because it was the place closest to the essence of the universe!
…
A world appeared in front of Søren's eyes.
It was a huge half-plane. The outer layer was a gray iris that looked like a translucent eggshell. There was a complete world inside, but it did not have the structure of a planet. Instead, it looked more like a continental shelf. This was a half-plane that was born in the Astral Plane. Using the endless energy of the Astral Plane as a supply, the land, rocks, mountains, seas, air, plants, and so on grew in the half-plane. In the end, it evolved into a relatively complete half-plane that could support intelligent life.
This incomparably huge Demiplane flew past at high speed!
It was like Halley's Comet that streaked across the sky above Earth, and it quickly disappeared from Søren's sight. The Astral Gate was almost endless. It was a plane that was almost limitless, but if you kept going up, you would meet a layer of [Crystal Wall]. However, before you met the [Crystal Wall], you would see countless kingdoms of gods. If you were lucky, you could even see the legendary [Pantheon] Plane!
Rumble!
The ground under Søren's feet shook.
This half-plane seemed to have only existed for a short period of time. Søren could see the edge of the land at a glance, and if he jumped from the edge, he would enter the void.
Since ancient times!
There had never been a lack of unlucky people who were lost in the Astral Gate and were swept away by the void for hundreds or thousands of years.
Therefore, the Astral Gate was often called the [Land of Exile]!
This place was connected to all the planes, but you might not be able to find the passage. Without the half-plane to rely on, after being swept into the void, it was like a mortal being washed away by a flood.
The half-plane that had been born for no more than a few hundred years was trembling!
It was as if something was attacking it. Søren could feel the dignified and worried face of the Eye of the North. Even the most powerful witch in the North was worried.
Then, the enemy that appeared was most likely the intelligent life that Søren hated the most!

(PS: This chapter took me a whole day to write. I was sorting out the database, so I wrote it very slowly. I had to fill in a lot of things by myself. A lot of brain cells died. From the legendary book onwards, the information provided began to be full of loopholes, and Fu Tu was a stubborn person. Today, I only have one update. I want to draw a three-dimensional picture of the Crystal Wall universe. If it is not ugly, I will send it for you to have a look.)
