After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Grimm used his elemental flames to melt away a thin layer of the icicle.
He was the one who did the hard work, but the one who meticulously analysed the composition of the icicle was the A.I. Chip.
After all, in terms of data collection and analysis, the A.I. Chip was ten times, no, a hundred times stronger than him. This was still due to the limitations of his weak spiritual force. As his spiritual force grew, the A.I. Chip's abilities would be amplified.
Hence, Grimm put aside his thoughts of competing with the A.I. Chip and focused on melting the icicle bit by bit. He then carefully analysed the composition of the ice crystals, the characteristics of the arrangement of the spiritual elements, as well as the form of fusion between the spiritual and material elements.
Among them, Grim could sense the presence of spiritual elements everywhere.
In his previous understanding, material was material, elemental was elemental, and spiritual force was spiritual force. The three of them existed in different forms, had different characteristics, and operated in completely different ways. However, after analysing the icicle in front of him, Grimm painfully discovered that his previous understanding of these matters had been broken.
The three did not seem to be independent entities that could not be fused together!
In Grimm's understanding, material was the visible form of the Material World. From the soil, firewood, and rivers to the mountains and seas, they were all part of the Material World, and could be touched by the human senses. Hence, material was the foundation of the Material World!
In this aspect, the Earth of his previous life was no different from this other world.
On the other hand, the elements were a mysterious substance that could not be seen or touched. They were everywhere, at all times, like a boundless ocean that soaked the entire Multiverse in it, rising and falling.
From the perspective of the multiverse, the elements were balanced. However, if one looked at it from a certain point of view, the elements also had the phenomenon of tides. More or less, thick or thin, they were all different.
The diversity of the Material World was actually directly related to the density of the elemental particles it was in.
In this aspect, there was a fundamental difference between the Earth of his previous life and this other world.
In the history of his previous life, there had been many gods, and there were also many mysterious ancient myths and legends. Those ancient gods and immortals seemed to be able to overturn rivers and seas, and were omnipotent. However, the Earth of his later life had deprived them of this mysterious ability.
If it was in the past, Grim would only treat these rumors of ancient Earth as the delusions and dreams of the ancients. But now, he didn't think so!
Perhaps, it was highly possible that the ancient Earth was also a world filled with elemental energy. That was why the people of that era had the ability to transcend their weak physical bodies and control even greater power. However, as the Elemental Tide changed, the elemental energy on Earth began to fade. Therefore, humans were beaten back to their original state. They could only abandon mysticism and pick up the weapon of technology again.
That was why the mysterious elements were the masterminds behind the changes in the material plane!
So what exactly were elements?
It was impossible for ordinary people to detect the elemental particles with their naked eyes. Even if you were immersed in it day and night, with countless elemental particles flowing in and out with every breath you took, you didn't have the means to directly sense and verify its existence.
The only way for humans to come into contact with the elemental particles was through meditation, using the spirit as a bridge to carry out meditation, allowing the physical body to come into contact with the ethereal elemental particles.
It was precisely because of the existence of elemental particles that the spirit became a kind of power!
If ordinary people stared and stamped their feet, nothing would happen. Their weak power could not change the material plane in the slightest. However, if a Great Wizard stared and stamped his feet, the elemental particles that his spirit attracted would become a kind of power that could pry open the laws of the plane and the laws of the world, changing the color of the heavens and the earth and changing the course of rivers …
In the past, Grim had made a clear distinction between the three and had drawn a detailed boundary for them. But now, when he vaguely sensed the existence of the spirit elements in the ice pillar, his knowledge of the past inevitably cracked.
He was very lucky to have successfully completed the elemental transformation of his body with the help of the Flame Scepter during his apprenticeship. This made his control over the fire elemental particles even more exquisite, allowing him to quickly become a powerful Fire Wizard as soon as he became a Wizard.
Many books had mentioned the term 'elemental transformation of the spirit' in regards to the subsequent path of advancement. However, there was no detailed information on how to elemental transformation of the spirit, and it was even left blank. Grim had once suspected that this was a way for Magus families to monopolize knowledge and gather talents.
For Grade 1 Magi, the only way for them to continue improving was to join these families with ancient Magi inheritances and obtain the lost knowledge from them. Otherwise, they could only waste their time year after year, slowly groping their way out of the endless darkness.
Although Magi had a long lifespan compared to mortals, their lives were still limited when it came to the endless search for Magi knowledge!
Logically speaking, Grim had just advanced to become an Elemental Magus, and he would probably spend the first hundred years consolidating his body and elemental transformation. He would only touch on the matter of elemental transformation after a hundred years. However, he had already completed his Body of Fire, and was now worrying about elemental transformation a hundred years in advance!
Hence, it was rare for him to have a chance to interact with the spirit elements, so of course he would spare no effort in exploring it.
Grimm's Elemental Affinity was towards Fire Elemental particles, while the Grade 2 Forgan's Affinity was towards Ice Elemental particles. The huge difference in their Attributes allowed Grimm to feel the backlash of the plane's Ice Law when he extended his mental strength into the Ice Elemental Essence he had released after the Ice Pillar had melted.
When he held the ice pillar with both hands and slowly burned it with elemental fire, a bone-chilling force of ice appeared on his body through the bridge of his spiritual force. When he released his hands to end his daily probing, Grim's legs were already frozen in place. Even the slightest movement would cause ice crystals to continuously fall from his body.
Apart from these external injuries, his spiritual force had also become sluggish. It was obvious that his fire innate talent was being suppressed by the power of ice.
This was only the aftermath of a spell cast by a Grade 2 Ice Magus, but it was already able to suppress his fire innate talent. If Lord Forgan's opponent was not a Grade 2 Knight but him, Grim might not even be able to complete a complete spell before turning into an ice man!
Grade 1 Elemental Magi could only use their physical body to adapt to the elemental particles and use their spiritual force to guide them. What about Grade 2 Elemental Magi? What did they look like when they cast spells?
These questions were hard to answer!
Grim could not help but let out a long sigh, "It feels like I'm dissecting a Grade 2 Magus right now!"
Immediately after, he became vigilant and kept his mouth shut, looking left and right. Grimm heaved a sigh of relief when he found himself in the underground labyrinth that he had dug. At the same time, he warned himself that in this strange world, being cautious was the only way for the weak to protect themselves!
After coming out of the first stone chamber, Grim quickly entered the second stone chamber.
On the stone platform here, a tall human figure with his chest open was lying on his back. Every secret part of his body had been seen without a doubt. The stone platform itself had been modified by Grim into a special spell formation. It was slowly transmitting various elemental energies into the different organs of the human body.
What Grim needed to do every day was to constantly observe and record the effects of different elemental energies on the organs of the human body.
After all, the person being dissected on the stone bed was a Magus Knight. In the Magus World, he would be considered a Magus.
In the Magus World, if Grim dared to openly dissect a Magus, he would definitely be hunted down by the entire Magus community! It was only in this foreign world that he had the opportunity to capture a Magus of the same rank as himself and dismember him like a lab rat without worrying about any repercussions.
Even some of the more secretive and taboo research was permitted.
This was perhaps what attracted Magi the most about the Planar Wars!
The stone platform in the third secret room was densely packed with broken pieces of armour and some other indiscernible items. In the middle of the stone platform, the outline of a Knight's armour had already been pieced together, and the rune formation inside could be seen clearly.
After so many bloody battles in the forest, the Magi had killed and captured a certain number of Magic Hunters and Magus Knights. Hence, they had a basic understanding of the special runes of this plane.
On the whole, the knowledge of runes in the Knight Plane was far inferior to that of the Magus World. However, when it came to the integration of runes and the human body, they had their own unique insights and progress.
If they could snatch this knowledge and modify it a little, it would undoubtedly allow Magi who controlled powerful elemental energy to have the same powerful physical strength as Knights. This would also increase the Magi's battle prowess, and it was a new piece of information that made people drool!
However, the rune fragments that Grim had collected were only at the level of a Magus Knight. There was not much information that could be used for reference. Hence, Grim could only use quantity to replace quality. He collected all sorts of rune formations in an attempt to rely on the A.I. Chip's powerful data analysis and deduction abilities to see through the mysteries of higher runes.
