Chapter 302: Strong enough to suppress oneself
"So, we can go to this area first. It is the land of spirits that are friendly to the people of the Holy Mother Church."
Alka said while looking at his companions in the captain's room.
"That's fine, but have you thought of one thing? All the information we know now is from the past."
Xia Daiti looked at everyone and said, "We don't know what we know about this swamp at this stage, right?"
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
Indeed, the records they know about now are from decades or even hundreds of years ago.
These are all research records that have been passed down from that time.
Although there are updates, they are only some research records, and we don’t know much about the local situation in Zehai at this time.
This so-called swamp sea already existed when the two churches occupied the Twin Islands.
According to the description on the map, it existed before the world was shattered.
"Well... now everyone should mainly learn about the recent information about Ze Hai. After learning about it, we will prepare to set off."
Such information must be obtained from those who have met Zehai in recent years.
There are many people who stayed there for a while and successfully escaped.
After hearing Alka's decision, everyone nodded, left the captain's room, and started to take action.
After all, Zehai is moving and will not stay in a certain area waiting for their arrival.
Then they must set off as early as possible, and they will need to drift on the sea for a long time before they have a chance to encounter this swamp.
This is a time that tests your luck.
…
It took about three days and nights of preparation.
Alka and his crew have already learned about the recent information about Zehai, stored enough supplies, and are ready to set sail.
"Jason, you owe me 400 gold sails. Remember to pay it back when the time comes." Porro said with a smile on his face, patting Jason's shoulder.
Jason looked up at Porollo and forced a smile with a stiff expression.
"Yes, I remember."
After saying that, he touched the ring in his pocket and breathed a sigh of relief.
This voyage was estimated to take a long time, with almost no exact time, so they had to make adequate preparations.
This also meant that Jason had to prepare sufficient gems, which were essential food for crystal dragons.
Otherwise, once you encounter other islands at sea, there will not be as prosperous trade as the Gemini Islands.
It will not be easy to get enough gems by then.
Letting the crystal dragon starve to slow down her growth was not what Jason wanted to see.
So he found Porro and borrowed a large amount of gold sails, and exchanged them all for gems.
If we were to ask who had the most savings on the ship, it would be Polo.
He almost never consumes anything, and he doesn't have any hobbies or essential needs that require consumption.
It is not enough to have sufficient funds.
It is the best target for borrowing money.
Amid the melodious singing, the Sound of Dawn slowly sailed out of the inland sea port.
Follow the straight channel and sail outward from the other side.
At this time, there were five guiding flags on the rudder.
The five flags point to different landmark islands.
These five landmark islands form a certain range, and Zehai is within the intersection of these five target islands, changing his position at will.
Xiadaiti was drawing on a piece of white paper, and Alka and Simon were also expressing their opinions.
“According to research, if you start from the Twin Islands, it’s best to head directly towards Iceberg Island.
After advancing for about 50 days and nights, if they did not encounter any of the enemies, they would turn around and sail towards Axi Island from their current location.
Then……
..."
Following Simon's instructions, Xia Deti drew a simple route of action on a piece of white paper based on five different punctuation marks.
These lines combined together form an irregular, distorted rhombus.
This is the experience gained after the Holy Machine Church organized exploration teams many times.
After that, several exploration teams successfully met Zehai within 250 days and nights in this way.
It sounds like this will take quite a while, but compared to relying on luck, this efficiency is a huge improvement.
Most people avoid Ze Hai.
If you accidentally meet it, you will just pass by it in fear.
For those who go looking for it on purpose without good methods or experience, they are really unlucky and may never encounter it in their lifetime.
After all, Ze Hai is wandering around randomly in this area, and it is still part of the vast ocean.
It does not belong to the signpost island, nor can it be connected to the signpost island.
There is even such a saying.
It is Zehai, connecting these five surrounding landmark islands.
After all, the scope of the swamp sea is too large, and the spreading vines fix together the area of the connected sea that is large enough to accommodate three signpost islands.
And drift freely on the sea.
"If we're unlucky, the longest we'll have is 250 days and nights of sailing." Jason came over and listened to the conversation, and couldn't help but sigh.
This will take more than a year, based on the time spent in the Home Sea.
Although the length of a day and night is not fixed, on average, a day is about 42 hours.
More than 250 days and nights is more than 10,000 hours.
Time is not chaotic, and the day and night system is not destroyed in the home sea. Such a long time, probably converted to more than a year.
There was an inexplicable feeling that I was back on track.
However, such awareness had already been realized on the sea.
It was just Jason complaining again.
"It took a little too long," Alka said, but it was clearly worth it.
After all, that is a place with several holy grail-level treasures, two scepter-level treasures, and one crown-level treasure.
For Alka, this area holds great appeal.
Even if you don't go now, you will definitely have to go in the future.
Now he was almost at the 19th helix, and when he left the trial island, he had already broken through to the 18th helix.
After the voyage in between, plus the few days we spent on the island.
It may take only a few days and nights to break through.
By then, there will only be 8 spirals left to complete the 27 spirals of the third stage.
At the current meditation speed, if it really takes 250 days and nights, by the time I reach the island I will definitely be strong enough to reach the third stage of perfection.
Maybe he has already broken through to the fourth stage, in which case he would have more power to find treasure.
So no matter how many days and nights they sail on the sea, it is within Alka's acceptable range.
Nightfall.
Alka returned to his room and fell into a dream.
Looking at his huge dream bubble, the environment inside the bubble has completely turned into a dream forest.
Break the bubble and come outside.
At this time, the outside world was still in the mirror world in the dream mirror, the king's palace created by Alka himself.
Countless white mist-like creatures were floating around.
The reason why these mist-like creatures are floating here is because Alka used the deer head mask before, which gave him a certain similar aura.
In addition, he was connected to the world, and through the energy of gold and silver and special powers, he had a brief communication with the world.
This inevitably made his spirit have a certain attraction in his dreams.
At least it's an attraction for these mist creatures.
As they are the spirits of nature, they also regard Alka as a powerful member in repairing the world.
Not to mention that there was a dream deer in Alka's dream bubble.
Mirmi's young prototype wasn't just wandering around in Alka's dream bubble.
In Alka's absence.
They will also help maintain the order and environment of the entire dream palace in the mirror world.
So Alka gave Huan the mirror access right to the dream mirror world.
"My strength is still growing... Oh, can I stop it from growing? I need to find a way to slow it down."
Standing in the dream palace, Alka said helplessly, holding his forehead.
The kingship of dreams and his identity as a descendant of the God of Dreams, as well as the fact that there are a large number of misty creatures living around the palace in the mirror.
Plus the hugeness of his dream bubble, and the life created in it. Plus, most importantly, Huan's careful care.
This all seemed like good things, but the result was that Alka did nothing.
The strength in the dream is constantly growing, because his own strength is not even that of the weakest dream king.
Mirmi used to be the weakest among the group of dream kings.
He is even worse than them, so he can always feel the rapid improvement of his strength.
He felt that he could break through his current stage and reach a new level anytime and anywhere.
According to his idea, it should reach the fifth stage.
The 5 stages of dreaming.
But the problem is that his physical strength in reality is only 19 spirals, and he has not even reached the perfection of the third stage.
The difference in strength between the spirit and the body is too great.
The separation, which had been slightly eased before, began to become more severe.
Alka's body in reality is already trying desperately to catch up, and he doesn't want to become a spiritual creature completely in the dream world.
This will drive him crazy.
The crystals used to combine magic stones to increase strength were the ones he initiated the research on.
But even so, his growth rate in reality is nothing compared to the growth rate in his dreams.
His advantage in the dream was so great that the mist-like creatures that were madly gathering in the surrounding palace also began to submit to him.
The power of the Dream Kingdom is growing further.
You say you don't want Huan to do it, but that's not a good idea, because he's doing it for you after all.
The entire palace was taken care of carefully and very well.
It was really nice to just stand there and do nothing, not even practice, and yet your strength was growing like crazy.
At the same time, it also drives the further improvement of reality. After all, the influence between the spirit and the body is mutual.
Although strength comes from dreams, there is a huge barrier between dreams and reality.
But the gap is inevitable and is getting bigger and bigger.
We have to think of a way. If there is no other solution, Alka can only resort to the worst possible strategy.
That is to drive out all the mist-like creatures living in the palace and stop Huan from taking any further action.
But that would be too much of a loss.
Because this means that the new king, Alka, will not accept any dream creatures.
The signal he had sent out was to pick up the misty creatures and disperse them.
It would be extremely difficult .
These dream creatures are not really brainless.
They are just the spirit of nature, and they will only focus most of their energy on saving the world.
Especially at this stage.
Not to mention that Alka's ambition is to save the world from suffering.
Or... destroy the world.
But no matter what we do, we need the help of these misty creatures, the natural spirits of the spiritual world.
This is almost equivalent to cutting off both of your own arms, or strong arms for the future.
After sighing for a long time, Alka stood in the air and closed his eyes.
He completely immersed himself in his memories.
It was a huge maze of memory, and he needed to carefully read Miami's memories that had been broken for a hundred years once again.
Looking for a solution?
He had been searching his memory for days, hoping to gain enough today.
As a dream king Mirmi with the strength of 6-7th level, he must have a power that he is not aware of.
Not to mention his long life, which also allowed him to have far more knowledge in the dream world than Alka himself.
Not long after.
Alka's eyes suddenly opened, a smile spreading across his face.
The joy can no longer be hidden.
"After searching for so long, I finally found a feasible method."
I have actually reached the point where I am troubled by the fact that my strength is growing too quickly.
Thinking of his own behavior, Alka complained helplessly.
But there's nothing I can do.
Break away from reality, choose dreams, and your strength will grow rapidly.
Both are needed, in parallel, so the overly fast growing dream power must be suppressed.
Carefully recall the information dug .
This is a means of overdraft, usually used when one is unable to defeat the opponent or when great strength is needed.
After use, the strength will decrease, and the extent of the decrease will vary depending on the strength of the means.
It is similar to forcibly improving one's own strength, and it is a powerful state that consumes a great deal of strength.
At this time, Alka's strength has almost reached the perfection of the fourth stage in the dream, and it is possible to break through to the fifth stage at any time.
According to Mirmi's experience and his manipulation of dreams.
There was a chance that he could endure the fifth stage of separation, but he didn't dare to take the risk.
Because the five stages are divided into 50 and 50.
Either the spirit and the body are completely separated, or they still maintain a connection, maintaining a state of separation that is even more dangerous than it is now.
That is, he must take action immediately and slightly overdraw the power of his dream and adjust it down to the point of two spirals.
It is safer to always maintain below the fourth stage of perfection.
The fifth stage of dream strength can be used as a last resort.
The powerful force in the dream will become his biggest trump card in reality.
Jumping from stage three to stage five in an instant should be able to deal with most of the problems he is facing now.
Although it may cause a complete split between reality and dreams.
It's better than death.
Thinking about his strategy, Alka nodded and confirmed it.
This overdraft of strength is a manifestation of royal power.
Organize the process in your mind.
Alka opened his eyes and let out a breath.
Huan ran out from a bubble in the distance and ran in the dream world.
He came in front of Alka and looked at him with his head tilted.
“Huan, help me find the five most powerful mist creatures. I need their help.
I will send the contents of the ritual to your mind to help me arrange it."
Huan nodded his head, and a crisp bell sound was heard.
Only then did Alka realize that Xuan had sat on his head without him noticing.
"hold head high!"
The clear and loud sound of a deer’s call spread out.
Soon Alka sensed a few misty creatures approaching.
Alka stood there in a daze looking at these mist-like creatures.
ha?
When did such a powerful mist-like creature appear in my palace?
In front of him was a misty creature that looked like a white horse with wings, and another one that was just a pure misty ball.
The problem is the strength of these two mist-like creatures.
Reached the fifth stage! The fifth stage mist creatures submitted to him?
No wonder, no wonder my strength is growing so rapidly that it can’t be stopped.
It turns out that the dream creatures that submit to him have strength far superior to his own.
Looking at Huan who was staring at him with his head tilted.
“…You did a great job.”
Then I saw these three on the side and behind me.
There were still all kinds of weird mist-like creatures, but at least they were within Alka's acceptable range.
It won't look too bizarre.
The problem is that the strength of these three is also around the fourth stage of perfection.
There are a total of 5 of them. Currently, the most powerful mist-like creatures in Alka's mirror world are submitting beside him, waiting for his orders.
Alka could clearly feel the submission of these physical creatures to him.
They respect themselves.
Arka felt a little strange that a creature stronger than himself submitted to him.
Take back your thoughts.
"Huan, tell them the entire ritual process I told you."
As Huan communicated with several mist-like creatures.
The information brought by the fifth-stage Pegasus made Alka feel a little strange.
Because he was actually very familiar with this ceremony.
"Why are you so familiar with this ritual?"
Hearing Alka's question, the misty white horse lowered its head and bowed its body slightly to show respect.
Then he expressed his thoughts through the connection of thoughts.
The mist-like creatures whose strength has reached the fifth stage basically possess the intelligence of ordinary people, or even higher.
Through communication with the Pegasus, Alka roughly understood.
The reason why he came to this country was because he felt the aura of his former king here.
That is Mirmi.
This Pegasus was once a member of the Myrmean kingdom.
However, Mirmi has never been seen since he went crazy, and the palace was broken into pieces due to his long absence and inability to maintain it.
Pegasus thought that Mirmi had died somewhere.
He even thought that Alka was Mirmi's successor, otherwise why would young Mirmi-Huan follow him?
That's why I surrender to him here.
In his words, in the future even a large number of creatures from the former Mirmi Kingdom will come and surrender.
Alka could sense that these mist-like creatures were quite intelligent.
But it seems quite simple.
But...are there more powerful dream creatures?
It's difficult.
Other dream kings would probably be laughing so hard about the current situation.
But Alka couldn't help but feel more bitter.
This means that his strength will increase faster.
Why can't the strength slow down?
It would be great if the strength of the outside world could improve so quickly.
Thinking helplessly, I waited for the ceremony to begin.
