Two-Aspect Celestial God

Inside the cave.

The forces of ether and air are flowing alternately.

This created two air currents with extremely strong Kiting force.

They each centered around the Magic Spring and the Spirit Eye, squeezing out the living space of other substances.

Seeing this scene.

Roger found it a bit strange.

In his understanding.

Ether and harmony are not mutually exclusive.

In many places, these two Transcendent Energy can coexist.

But only in this cave dwelling.

The two exhibited a repulsive relationship, like two tigers fighting! Roger observed for a while.

I vaguely found the key point—

Whether it's the Magic Spring or the Spirit Eye.

The Transcendent Energy density around them was far higher than that of normal environments.

The surrounding area is like this.

The very center of the Magic Spring Spirit Eye is even more exaggerated.

The confrontation between the two is very obvious.

The Kiting of air currents within the cave is a microcosm of this phenomenon.

"So, under conditions of high density and high purity, are these two Transcendent Energy mutually repulsive?"

Roger looked at the vortex in the center.

My mind involuntarily conjured up various ideas about ether and harmony—

He remembers it very clearly.

When one gains Transcendent Comprehension and Transcendent Intelligence.

He obtained two different approaches to controlling Transcendent Energy.

One is from top to bottom.

That is to say, when practicing martial arts or qi.

We must establish a broader perspective from a higher level.

Then, a comprehensive plan for the spiritual practice route was developed.

The other is bottom-up.

That is, to start with the microscopic elements.

Step by step, we ascend to even greater heights of magic.

These two methods are less about different ways of cultivating Transcendent Energy.

Rather, they are two different methods of cognition or research.

Roger already knew this.

Transcendent Energy in the universe are subject to waxing and waning.

Ether and Qi are two Transcendent Energy that take turns dominating the spiritual practice of most people in the Material Realm.

But he hadn't given much thought to the connection between these two Transcendent Energy.

And this is what I'm seeing.

But it gave him great inspiration.

"Could it be... that air and ether can actually be transformed into each other?"

This kind of conjecture isn't exactly groundbreaking.

Roger had seen similar tropes in many online novels.

Unfortunately, there are no verifiable cases to support this hypothesis.

I don't know if there were too few people in Mystra or if the civilization had declined too much.

Apart from Roger himself, who was a half-baked Jade Phoenix Mage.

He had never seen anyone who could simultaneously wield two Transcendent Energy! "Perhaps Master Biggle secretly learned the Pingsha School Martial Arts, might have such a possibility..."

Unfortunately Biggle had already boarded Quinan's pirate ship.

Roger couldn't find an opportunity to verify this now.

He paced back and forth between the cave dwellings.

The layout here is very clean and simple.

Besides the Magic Spring Spirit Eye.

Roger couldn't find anything extra.

The vortex between the two sides also seemed harmless.

But Roger knew very well.

The Magic Spring and the Spirit Eye were clearly engaged in a fierce battle.

But the vortex right in the center of them was only slowly rotating.

It looked like everything was peaceful and prosperous.

This, however, made Roger suspicious.

The Qi Divination Technique could not retrieve any information.

But Roger was directly below the vortex.

A very well hidden groove was discovered.

In the groove.

Roger was shocked to discover signs of the presence of the Aberrant Matter!

Moreover, the concentration of Aberrant Matter here is ridiculously high.

Roger's heart was pounding wildly.

His Perception Authority warned him not to touch these substances.

You can't even get close to that vortex!

Otherwise, there's a possibility of instant infection! "Such a high-purity Aberrant Matter?!"

Roger became increasingly alarmed.

Thunder Grotto Heaven is indeed extraordinary! Even in the Sea of Ruins.

He had never encountered such a terrifying substance before!

At present.

He patiently found a place to sit down.

Calmly observe the details of the vortex.

The Qi Divination Technique was continuously applied to the vortex.

And the Perception Authority.

It's already been pushed to its limit! "Encountering something with a high detection value in the Two-Dimensional World is truly a headache..."

Roger sighed helplessly.

More than forty hours have passed.

Roger finally sensed a clue.

On the data panel.

"Hint: You have discovered a mysterious experimental field!..."

You have discovered the Magic Spring, the Spirit Eye, the Whirlpool...

You've discovered a large amount of Aberrant Matter!...

You've detected a small amount of Vortex Matter!...

You've discovered a bit of Super-Dimensional Matter!

In Roger's view.

The three substances in the groove below the vortex are marked with three different colors.

Red represents Aberrant Matter.

It has the largest number.

It also poses the highest level of harm!...

Blue represents Vortex Matter.

This was the first time Roger had ever seen pure Vortex Matter.

This thing seems to be able to be used to create Vortex Template.

Vortex Matter can perfectly contain Aberrant Matter.

This also explains the origin of the Vortex Creature.

The final yellow color represents something called Super-Dimensional Matter.

Roger doesn't yet know its specific function.

But instinct told him...

This thing is incredibly attractive to me!

Roger simply didn't dare to rush in and take it without knowing anything about it.

After all, it's right next to that point of Super-Dimensional Matter.

There is also an even more astonishing amount of equally high levels of Aberrant Matter providing protection.

"In the end, we've gained nothing..."

Roger was slightly frustrated.

But he quickly adjusted his emotions and shifted his attention to the mysterious experiment.

It's obvious.

This cave was designed by Xuan to study these two Transcendent Energy.

Aside from the fact that the Spirit Eye of the Magic Spring is extremely rare.

The design of the cave dwelling was also very precise.

Roger saw no signs of any formation on the ground.

However, the air currents coming from all directions can just converge on the central plaza of the cave.

The position of the vortex and the groove are also a perfect match.

It is evident that this cave dwelling was the result of Xuan's painstaking efforts.

The experimental content is also very clear.

The two Transcendent Energy not only clash head-on under high-density conditions.

It will also form a vortex.

This vortex not only maintains the balance between the two Transcendent Energy.

It even produces some strange substances.

The largest component of these is the terrifying Aberrant Matter!

"Could it be... that this is the origin of the Aberrant Matter?"

Roger thought calmly.

For him.

The idea that Aberrant Matter is a byproduct of the collision of two Transcendent Energy is more plausible than Telodal's Drawing Theory.

Based on his previous observations.

Although the enrichment rate of material in the groove is very slow.

But they are indeed increasing little by little.

The only thing that puzzled Roger was...

If this vortex has been running continuously for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Then the entire Thunder Grotto Heaven would probably have become a base for Aberrant Matter long ago!

The amount of material in the groove could not possibly be that small!

"So, they only started operating after I entered this cave..."

"The Magic Spring and the Spirit Eye don't seem to require any energy to operate?"

This conclusion is clearly a bit far-fetched.

Roger pondered for a moment.

The cave dwelling where one chooses to leave.

And at that very moment.

This sentence suddenly appeared in the data column.

"Notice: Your stamina is exhausted. Please try exploring Crescent Moon again tomorrow..."

The next second.

Roger's vision went black.

He was teleported outside the Thunder Grotto Heaven! "My stamina is clearly limitless! How could it possibly be completely depleted?"

Roger was very dissatisfied.

But he soon realized that what might have been completely depleted was his role as a cultivator in the Thunder Grotto Heaven—

Due to Xuan's malice.

None of the players have very high stamina levels.

It's normal for it to be completely consumed.

Roger was initially hesitant about whether to reload the Load Save and Start Over.

But at this very moment...

He suddenly noticed that he had a spherical object in his hand.

This ball is very similar to the one that Quinan gave him before, which he used to hold the storm.

"Hint: You have obtained a cave dwelling containing Magic Spring, Spirit Eye, a whirlpool..."

"Is this the reward for exploring the crescent moon?"

Roger was immediately overjoyed.

I've decided to come back tomorrow.

Anyway, we've already passed the test.

Now it's time for a wanton looting spree.

The next day.

Roger re-enters Thunder Grotto Heaven.

This time, however, there was a hint.

Roger completed all stages of the Thunder Pool.

He was given three opportunities to explore the crescent moon.

And each time during the exploration of the crescent moon.

He will expend some of his physical strength.

Once physical strength is exhausted.

That exploration came to an end.

To Roger's surprise,

This means that what was actually being consumed was Roger's own physical strength.

How did he get dumped yesterday? Roger was completely baffled.

"Unless... exploring Crescent Moon itself is an extremely physically demanding activity, and Xuan modified the laws of Thunder Grotto Heaven, increasing the rate at which his body's energy is depleted... it might even be a percentage-based energy consumption!"

Based on Roger's understanding of the gods.

It wouldn't be difficult for them to achieve this.

There is another possibility.

That is, the cave we entered yesterday was quite special.

His physical strength may have been depleted without him even realizing it.

"If that's the case, then the experiments in the cave might have started after I entered. He was drawing strength from me to maintain the standoff between the Magic Spring and the Spirit Eye, ultimately producing those Aberrant Matter..."

Roger pondered to himself.

He did not re-enter the Sky Cave.

This thing is a magical artifact.

Within Thunder Grotto Heaven, it exists in a two-dimensional state.

Although Roger brought it out.

It also broke free from the two-dimensional property.

But I want to use it.

It still needs some time to refine.

Roger tried it out.

The time was not long.

It should take about a week to complete the refining process.

Then he will be able to explore the mysteries of that cave to his heart's content.

"I wonder what we'll gain today?"

Roger was controlling the monk he was playing.

It flew nimbly between the cliffs.

These cliffs appear no different on the surface.

Roger just randomly entered a cave yesterday.

Today is different.

He wanted to find out the pattern.

Let's see if we can find a true treasure!

At the beginning.

He had no clue.

But he soon discovered subtle differences between the cliffs.

He noticed.

Below this crescent moon surrounded by towering cliffs.

Suitable for the same vast ocean and skeletons below the Thunder Pool stage! The difference lies here—

Some hilltops had few skeletons at their base; others were piled high! Roger recalled yesterday.

It seems to be the kind with a lot of corpses! And the Magic Spring Spirit Eye is of great significance to him.

Therefore.

He then followed this pattern and searched for it.

If it weren't for the prompt midway, flying in the crescent moon would have consumed a small amount of stamina.

He'll probably go looking for a place with the most skeletons!

A moment later.

Roger finally stopped at one place.

This place not only had the largest number of skeletons he had ever seen.

Moreover, a candlelight was shining inside the cave on the mountaintop! This was a feature that other caves did not possess!

Roger gladly entered.

"I've walked around for so long and haven't used up much energy, which basically confirms that my energy yesterday was drained by that experiment..."

Lost in thought.

Roger arrived at a beautiful bamboo forest.

We've arrived here.

The original rough art style of Thunder Grotto Heaven has now undergone a complete 180-degree transformation!

A light rain and gentle breeze.

Small bridges and flowing water.

Pine trees and bamboo groves.

Clouds and mist swirled and drifted.

On a horizontal screen.

Roger not only saw an extremely beautiful background wall.

I also heard bursts of traditional string and wind instruments.

We passed through the outermost bamboo grove.

What comes into view are artificial hills and triangular pavilions.

A painting hangs in the pavilion.

In just a moment.

Roger's gaze was immediately drawn to the painting!

"Hint: You have discovered a mysterious scroll!"

"Is this a Xuan scroll?"

Roger was utterly shocked.

It's not that the characters in the picture are too ugly or too handsome—

He had actually met Xuan several times.

Although they are all projections left over from history or specific memories.

However, the general outline of Xuan is still quite clear.

He was certain.

The person in the painting must be a mystery.

But the problem is...

The person inside was wearing a white dress that was flowing in the wind!

She wore a phoenix hairpin in her hair.

Her eyes and brows were gentle and tender.

Her lips were rosy and moist.

Her hair was jet black.

Bright teeth and bright eyes.

Her smile was enchanting...

It's clearly a woman! And the ethereal kind at that!

"Wait a minute... Could it be that the Xuan Du I met before was a woman disguised as a man? Is this powerful figure actually a female immortal?"

Such a thought came to Roger's mind.

The woman in the painting suddenly began to sway! The next second...

She stepped out of the painting.

He looked at Roger with a smile in his eyes:

You seem very shocked...

Roger composed himself.

They knew this was Xuan's projection or clone.

So he smiled and said:

"It was just a bit of a surprise."

"I know you, and you should know me too, but I still need to introduce myself—I am Xuan's daughter. Xuan is a very narcissistic person. He believes that if he were to marry and have children one day, he would definitely marry someone who is a perfect match for him. But unfortunately, such a person does not exist in this world, so he created me..."

The woman chuckled softly.

Roger's eyes widened even more.

"So you actually believe this kind of claim?"

The woman's smile widened.

"Alright, I'm not kidding anymore—I am Xuan! Or rather, I am Xuan's female prime minister."

"I am a very rare individual among the Celestial Gods Race. From the moment I was born, I was a Celestial, and Dual-Aspect Celestial God!"

"I was born with a male face and a female face. The former is often in the public eye, while the latter, which is me in front of you now, is much more low-key."

"In a way, we are quite destined to meet. The power you hold now once belonged to me."

The woman said softly.

"The Star Master Authority of Mystra?"

Roger asked.

"Hmm... It was once the Ether Authority of the Nine Great Planets. Later, I gave it to Mystra, who forged a portion of it into the current Star Master Authority, and the majority of the rest was incorporated into the magic network she wove..."

The woman tucked her hair back.

"You should have obtained the Magic Network by now. Mastering it sooner will be very beneficial for you!"
