From the Astral Plane, the planet they lived on was very similar to Earth. The north and south poles were also covered in thick layers of ice. The blue ocean occupied most of the planet's surface.
"This is the world we live in? It looks so beautiful! "Hathaway said in surprise.
Standing in the Astral Plane, one could see that there were nine continents on the planet. The continent Suhlen was on was in the northern hemisphere. To the south was a continent. Although it was called a continent, it looked more like a large island. Most of the continent was covered in a layer of green vegetation.
To the east of the continent where the Kingdom of Florence was, there was another continent across a strait. This continent was bigger than the one Suhlen was on. From the northern wasteland to the southeast was the ocean. Through the ocean, one could reach the other continent.
In the southern sea of the continent, there were a large number of islands scattered around. There were at least tens of thousands of islands. This was the southern sea, the area with the most developed sea trade.
To the north of the northern wasteland was an endless glacier. It was a world of ice and snow. To the south was a continent covered in ice and snow.
On the other side of the planet, there was also a continent. Below this continent was a slightly smaller continent across a strait. In the southern hemisphere, there were also four continents of different sizes.
"I didn't expect the world we live in to be so big. I wonder what those continents look like." Suhlen said with emotion.
"If there's a chance, I'll travel to those continents."
"Right, we're here to collect materials. Let's get started." Hathaway interrupted Suhlen's imagination. She then pointed at the Astral Plane.
"Then let's get started!" Suhlen nodded.
To move in the Astral Plane, one had to rely on flying spells or teleportation spells. Because there were very few materials in the Astral Plane, the teleportation distance was very far. With the help of the landmarks in the Astral Plane, one could teleport tens of millions of kilometers or even more.
Because there was no air and gravity, flying spells in the Astral Plane were very fast. They could easily break through the speed of sound. If they continued to accelerate, they could even reach a few or even a dozen times the speed of sound.
After Suhlen and Hathaway observed for a while, they quickly found an area rich in materials. There was a lot of dust in the Astral Plane that was invisible to the naked eye. One of them was Astral Dust, but it couldn't be seen with the eyes. One could only search for it with spells or other things.
Only when the Astral Dust underwent some changes or was integrated with other energy would ordinary people be able to see it with their naked eyes. After a large amount of Astral Dust was gathered, it would form a smoke-like golden color. Under normal circumstances, it would be a silver-white dust belt. It was like looking at the Milky Way from afar. Astral Sand would emit a faint light. If it was fused with other substances, it would turn into various colors. For example, the silver rings that surrounded the planet due to gravity were more than 70% astral sand.
"Greater Teleportation!"
Suhlen and Hathaway instantly appeared thousands of kilometers away. There was a lot of Astral Dust around them. Besides Astral Dust, there were also some other Astral Substances.
Hathaway gently waved her hand. A light flashed, and the surrounding silver substances began to gather in the middle. Hathaway took out a crystal clear bottle. Then, the silver substances began to gather in the crystal bottle.
After seeing Hathaway start to collect materials, Suhlen also took out the crystal bottle. A large amount of Astral Substance was collected in the bottle. The crystal bottle was a space bottle that Hathaway specially made. It had about ten cubic meters of space inside. Although the Astral Substance seemed to be a lot, it was actually very small.
Soon, all the surrounding silver dust ribbons were collected in the bottle. After collecting the Astral Substance here, the two continued to collect in another area.
There was a lot of Astral Dust, but it was all scattered in the Astral Plane. It was very troublesome to collect it. After collecting it, they had to go back and use runic circles to refine and purify it. In the end, they could obtain the silver Astral Sand.
Just as Suhlen and Hathaway were collecting Astral Substance, in the deeper Astral Plane, a light quickly approached. After a while, Suhlen noticed it.
"What's that?" Suhlen asked, pointing at the rapidly approaching light.
"Could be a comet or a half-plane." Hathaway glanced and said.
"Maybe if we're lucky, it's a half-plane?" Suhlen said with a smile.
Hathaway rolled her eyes. "Even if we encounter a half-plane, we won't be able to catch it if we're not prepared."
Just as the two of them were talking, the beam of light quickly approached them. When it got closer, Suhlen finally saw what the light was.
It really was a half-plane.
It was different from the planet that Suhlen and the others lived on. This was a gigantic half-plane. The outer layer was a gray iris that looked like a translucent eggshell. Inside was a complete world. This half-plane didn't have the structure of a planet, but looked more like a continental shelf.
This was a half-plane that was born in the Astral Plane. If no one disturbed it, after decades or even centuries, with the endless energy of the Astral Plane as a supply, this half-plane would grow land, rocks, mountains, seas, air, plants, and so on. In the end, it would evolve into a half-plane that could support intelligent life.
If one was lucky enough, the Demiplane could even grow into a prime material plane. However, the probability was too low. Many Demiplanes would slowly die in the process of growth. Some Demiplanes would stop growing after reaching a certain size. Only a small number of Demiplanes would continue to grow into prime material planes.
This gigantic half-plane flew by not far from the two of them!
Like a comet, it flew by in front of their eyes and then quickly disappeared from Suhlen's sight. However, this half-plane didn't leave nothing behind. It left a large amount of silver dust in its wake.
Suhlen and Hathaway immediately teleported over and continued to collect there.
The space of the Astral Plane was almost endless. It was an almost infinite space. If you kept going up in the Astral Plane, you would encounter a layer of crystal wall. Around the crystal wall, you could see countless divine kingdoms. Those divine kingdoms looked like stars from the outside. The projections of these divine kingdoms would also appear in the night sky of the material plane. Of course, only the divine kingdoms of gods with faith in this plane would be projected.
If you saw stars falling from the sky in the material plane, it was very likely that a god had fallen.
In addition to these, there were also some space-time storms and space-time turbulences. Some space-time turbulences could affect a very large area. Being caught in a space-time turbulence was equivalent to being attacked by dimensional slash at all times. Even legendary wizards would die if they were caught in it.
In the endless time, countless people had died in the Astral Plane. There were also many people who were lost in the Astral Plane. Although the Astral Plane was said to be connected to all the planes, it was too vast. Even if you entered, you might not be able to find the passage to other planes.
Without a half-plane, wizard tower, or floating city to rely on, once you were caught in the space-time turbulence, you would be like an ordinary person being washed away by a flood. Therefore, the level requirement of an Astral Plane explorer was above level 30, and an Astral Plane traveler was level 35. As for the top Astral Plane traveler, the level requirement was level 40.
Only the strong of this level could travel in the Astral Plane.
When traveling in the Astral Plane, one had to be careful of several creatures. The most dangerous one was the evil gods, but these evil gods usually lived in the lower planes and rarely came to the Astral Plane. Next were the Abominations and ancient evil creatures. There were many corpses of gods in the Astral World, and many Abominations were born from these corpses. They were full of hatred for all life from the moment they were born. They were powerful and very dangerous.
Then there were the Githyankis, the indigenous people living in the Astral Plane. They were a kind of humanoid life. They were aggressive and quite warlike, and there were a lot of them. The chances of encountering evil gods or ancient evil creatures were very low. Most of the monsters were sealed by the ancient gods of order.
The Githyankis were born with powerful psionic spells. This race was enslaved by the Spirit-sucking Monsters a long time ago. The Spirit-sucking Monsters established a huge empire in the Astral Plane. However, it was later overthrown by the Githyankis. The Githyankis and the Spirit-sucking Monsters were mortal enemies. They fought to the death when they met. Now, there were very few Spirit-sucking Monsters in the Astral Plane.
The Gray Dwarfs had the same experience. Many of the Gray Dwarfs had their minds distorted because of the Spirit-sucking Monsters' enslavement. However, they eventually gained powerful psionic power and got rid of the Spirit-sucking Monsters' enslavement.
From this point of view, the Spirit-sucking Monsters could also help their slaves evolve psionic power. It was said that during the Arcane Empire, many arcanists deliberately captured a lot of Spirit-sucking Monsters to conduct this experiment.
The Githyankis had good magic technology. They would build huge Astral Warships or Astral Fortresses in the Astral Plane. This race seemed to have obtained some technology from the Arcane Empire, but the technology they obtained was not perfect. The combat power of those Astral Fortresses was not as strong as imagined.
Suhlen quickly collected the Astral Plane's matter along the silver smoke left by the half-bitwall. The smoke would gradually dissipate over time, so he had to hurry. However, just as Suhlen was collecting along the trail, a strong suction came from another place and was constantly absorbing the Astral Plane's matter.
After a while, the surrounding Astral Plane's matter was swept away. The crystal bottle in Suhlen's hand could not compete at all. Seeing this phenomenon, Suhlen's figure flashed and was ready to check it out. However, as soon as he turned his head, he saw a whale-like creature smacking its mouth and flying to another silver smoke area.
"Is this an Astral Whale?" Suhlen looked at the behemoth in surprise.
