After finishing her video call with Christine, Richard finally had time to sort out the Cross-Dimensional Spell The Ancient One had taught him.

Reviewing the spellcasting process and hand seals of the spell, Richard's brow gradually furrowed.

Step one, sense the source spirituality. Well, that shouldn't be too hard for me.

But this step two, isn't it a bit too reckless?!

Just tear open the world barrier directly?

That's simple for a big shot like The Ancient One, but a rookie like me who has just stepped onto the path of magic...

Is this asking me to tear Adamantium apart with my bare hands?!

And step three, the spatial passage between the two worlds is filled with chaotic and violent forces...

Relying solely on the Shield of the Seraphim to protect the physical body?!

More baffling operations from the big shots...

If I really operated according to The Ancient One's spell, I'm afraid I'd be torn directly to pieces by the spatial forces!

No way, no way, this version is too crude. It seems it still needs improvement.

Richard threw his head back and collapsed onto the bed. Forget it, forget it. There was too much knowledge learned today. Everything else could wait until tomorrow. Time to sleep~

He closed his eyes, and a few seconds later, he fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, after much consideration, Richard decided to first modify the commonly used spells of Kamar-Taj into his own version.

After all, the specific conditions of parallel worlds were unknown. In case it was a high-energy system, such as a great war between gods and demons, he was afraid he would bite the dust the moment he crossed over.

Arming oneself was the only way to remain unchanged in the face of all changes.

Richard listed several commonly used spells.

First, the Portal.

This spell didn't need modification. As a compulsory introductory spell of Kamar-Taj, after using it a few times, Richard skillfully replaced the Vishanti Dimension energy with his own divine power.

Second, the Rings of Raggadorr.

This spell didn't need much modification either. Also serving as an introductory compulsory spell, this spell and the Portal could be called the introductory double marvels of Kamar-Taj mages!

It was also the prerequisite skill for many other spells, constructing two shield-shaped or ring-shaped rune arrays on both hands or arms.

If one wanted to construct weapon-type spells, such as the Sword of Vishanti, preparing the Rings of Raggadorr in advance could save the hand seals and incantations during the spellcasting process, directly transforming the shield shape into the sacred sword.

The Ancient One simply used the simple Rings of Raggadorr as two shields. When fighting against Kaecilius and others, Her Ladyship even played this spell with great flair, not only turning the shield shape into the fan shape she frequently held in her hand, but even throwing it directly like a frisbee, hitting the target every single time and flying right back after being thrown out.

Third, the Energy Whip.

As the simplest control-type spell, Richard set it as one of the compulsory spells. However, compared to whip-type weapons, Richard preferred rigid weapons like swords, sabers, staves, and clubs.

Therefore, Richard modified the basic structure of the Energy Whip spell, adding a staff-type transformation so that this spell could seamlessly switch between a whip shape and a staff shape.

Fourth, Ikonn's Image.

This spell was one of the spells Richard had to modify because it was simply too handsome! A magical version of the Clone Technique!

Not to mention its spellcasting movements similar to the Guanyin of a Thousand Hands, just the effect of being able to split into hundreds or thousands of clones made Richard drool with envy.

In the battle scene where Doctor Strange fought Thanos, Doctor Strange created tens of thousands of clones and used energy whips simultaneously, directly and gorgeously trapping Thanos into a rice dumpling.

If not for the six Infinity Stones in Thanos's hand, Doctor Strange alone could have pinned Thanos to the spot and beaten him up.

However, modifying this magic was extremely difficult because during the spellcasting process, the Vishanti's energy was closely integrated with the process of rune magic array construction from start to finish. To eliminate the Vishanti's energy and replace it with his own divine power, he had to modify the rune construction process into a version that fitted his own divine power.

In order to modify the rune construction of this magic, Richard consulted a large number of magic books and finally even asked The Ancient One for advice before he managed to modify a semi-finished product.

The upper limit of clones split by the modified Ikonn's Image was only one hundred, and there was a time limit, with each clone only existing for 10 minutes. But the advantage was that each clone was physical and possessed the same intelligence as Richard. This was already enough for Richard.

Fifth, the Ancient Body of Hoggoth.

This spell could be called the strongest defensive magic in Kamar-Taj. Because of its gorgeous spell effects, it was also jokingly called the Butterfly Transformation magic by netizens.

However, Richard considered the modification of this magic a failure.

Because this magic was one of the secret spells personally mastered by Hoggoth, the god of Vishanti white magic. Richard couldn't find a single entry point for modification.

However, based on the magical effect of the Ancient Body of Hoggoth, Richard created a brand-new magic, which he called Richard's Floating Shield.

Simply put, it took its defense and conversion effects, constructed a rune array that stacked defense to the extreme, and evenly embedded seven to ten rune arrays that converted energy within it.

The spell effect of Richard's Floating Shield was to form a huge conical rune array in front of the body, and this rune array was composed of five rune arrays with extreme defensive power. Ten rune arrays used entirely for converting energy were distributed on the surface of the conical rune array.

When the conical rune array was attacked by energy, its conical shape could disperse the attack density to the maximum extent, and the energy conversion rune arrays embedded on the surface converted the dispersed attack energy into energy particles.

The subsequent modification plan was to embed a third rune array to collect the converted energy particles. The collected energy particles could be turned into energy cannons and shot at the enemy like floating cannons.

After seeing this spell named "Richard's Floating Shield", The Ancient One was very happy. After seeking Richard's opinion, she recorded this spell into a book and put it into the library of Kamar-Taj.

Yes, this was still a universal spell. Even orthodox Kamar-Taj mages who used Vishanti Dimension energy could use this spell normally.

Combining escaping, combat, control, cloning, and defense into one.

It could be said that Richard's preparations were already very comprehensive, but he still felt that he needed a trump card as a means to turn the tables in extreme environments.

Therefore, he set his sights on the Mirror Dimension.

To be honest, the Mirror Dimension could be regarded as the core-level secret technique of Kamar-Taj mages, and its spell principle adopted an independent dimension isolation mechanism.

Simply put, create an independent dimension!

However, this independent dimension was far inferior to god-level dimensions like the Dark Dimension, the Crimson Dimension, and the Hell Dimension, and was only a temporary closed space.

The so-called mirror was a kind of spatial projection, projecting the physical structure of the real world into the created independent dimension.

Because it was a completely isolated independent space, activities inside the space would not cause physical impact on the real world, so Kamar-Taj mages often used it to do magic experiments or fields for combat isolation.

However, maintaining the Mirror Dimension required huge energy. Kamar-Taj mages generally used Sling Rings to invoke ley-line energy to complete the dimension nesting technology, forming a controllable Mirror Dimension.

However, using Sling Rings to manipulate ley-line energy could be considered a clever shortcut, so the Sling Ring became the key to opening the Mirror Dimension. Once the Sling Ring was lost, even the mage who opened the Mirror Dimension would be trapped inside and unable to get out.

The last point was that the spatial projection of the Mirror Dimension could be controlled by the caster's mind, which meant that the terrain could be freely manipulated. This effect could be called invincible to the caster, and they had already mastered the right time and advantageous location before the battle even started.

As soon as he started the modification, Richard ran into a difficult problem, because creating an independent dimension was simply too difficult, and the energy it consumed could be called massive. Even if Richard used all his divine power, he could barely maintain the opening time for only 5 seconds.

In other words, trapping the enemy for 5 seconds gave Richard 5 seconds of duration to counterattack or escape.

Fine, it can barely serve as a trump card. Richard comfortingly consoled himself.

Next was the modification of the cross-dimensional secret spell.

Richard's modification experience was already very rich now, and he also had a clear train of thought for the modification of the cross-dimensional secret spell.

He preliminarily decided on a name for the cross-dimensional secret spell.

Namely: Lingshu World-Passage Technique!
