Transcendent Dawn

“Elder?”

Inside the villa, as Su Lu delivered his first blow, the corner’s few wooden dolls shattered instantly.

A group of Ancient Snake Society members, dressed in black robes, gathered before the ‘Mysterious Elder’ Bukadi, who was wrapped in a simple hemp garment and bald with white eyebrows.

“A spiritual body is attacking from the mental realm.”

Bukadi’s gaze was benevolent, not a trace of panic. He sat cross-legged in the center of a pentagram altar, a smile on his face, “Nellin, from the Dougweir family, is a cautious gentleman. You must not take the initiative to attack, even if you’re surrounded. Buy us some time… My primary consciousness will enter the mental realm.”

According to mystics’ theories, the protagonist of a secret realm in the mental realm is the subconscious.

After breaking into the second level of the spirit world, one’s primary consciousness can merge with the subconscious, gaining control!

From this point alone, it can be inferred that this ‘Mysterious Elder’ has a deep understanding of the exploration of the spirit world, having explored the second level of the spirit realm.

But this is normal.

After all, he was promoted step by step from a [Spirit Medium]. Even if [Mystery Experts] do not need levels like soul trance, it does not mean they cannot improve and study.

Of course, he only stopped at the second level, if he could explore the third level of the spirit world, he would certainly follow the path of the [Odd Technician], not the [Mysterious Master]!

Bukadi closed his eyes.

His spirit was infinitely increasing, as if its presence entered the mental realm, and intruded his subconscious.

The depths of the mental realm are the core of the subconscious, and the depths of the subconscious core is the most important memory zone!

“So strong!”

When he burst into the whirlpool, Su Lu felt a great resistance.

When he completely entered the secret realm, he found himself in an underground cave.

No!

Rather than an underground cave, it would be more appropriate to say it was a huge underground city!

Countless black-robed followers of the Ancient Snake Society guarded every pathway. Upon seeing the invaders, they roared in fury and swarmed in.

“Even the lower ranks are first-level occupational persons, there are also many second-levels, and also some third-level…and also…”

Su Lu looked at his own body.

A powerful sucking force, like a whirlpool, wrapped around him, seeming to want to tear him apart or throw him out of the secret realm, causing a strong restraint.

This is the home-field pressure imposed by a fourth-level occupational person on invaders!

“The palace type?”

Su Lu chuckled and raised his right hand.

A glimmer of light flashed over the Greedy Gloves and a trick card appeared, “Seal card, release!”

Buzz! Buzz!

The ground became incredibly soft in that instant as if it had turned into a swamp, swallowing the encirclers.

-‘Mud Swamp Skill’!

Greedy Gloves, trick cards, and even the Demon Hunting daggers, are all marvelous items that can be brought into the spirit world. Naturally, Su Lu had taken these things into consideration when preparing.

Especially the Greedy Gloves, its main material originates from the spirit world. At this time, they allow Su Lu to instantaneously switch between cards and daggers, showing great flexibility.

He raised his hand, and an orange flame formed in his hand, smashing into the crowd of black-robed people, setting off a fiery wave.

-‘Fireball Technique’!

He used the Mud Swamp Skill to delay his opponent, and after clearing his path with the Fireball Technique, Su Lu turned into an afterimage and drove straight ahead, penetrating the perimeter of the underground city.

Generally speaking, the palace-type defense is a group of guards protecting the ‘Emperor’ or ‘Princess’. He or she is the core of the subconscious!

Therefore, the key is to break through the defense, rather than eliminate the guards.

Su Lu has extensive experience in this matter.

He dashes back and forth, attracting a large number of soldiers, constantly breaking out, killing his way to the heart of this underground city.

It’s a grand, towering temple.

“If I’m not mistaken, there must be an ancient serpent, a demon, worshipped inside?”

Su Lu moistened his lips: “If it’s truly the period of gods’ resurrection, I might see the real form of the ancient serpent if I rashly intrude. Then, I could die or become a fanatic beast follower?”

“But now…”

He hid in the shadows with a wave of his hand.

A fireball exploded in the temple square, drawing away a large number of guards.

Taking this opportunity, the demon hunting dagger appeared in Su Lu’s hand. Swinging it continuously, he killed the cloaked men who never left the temple gate, and entered the temple hall.

Unexpectedly, there weren’t more guards inside the temple.

The vast stone hall is incredibly tall, made purely of marble, making Su Lu feel as if he had entered a giant’s palace.

Standing quietly on the thirteen steps, an old man draped in hemp robe, bald with white brows. His left side of the face was calm, the right side was grotesque, with bloodshot eyes.

It appeared as if two people were split in half and forcibly pieced back together.

“I’ve never seen such a crazy yet rational consciousness… ”

Su Lu sighed, adding to himself: ‘Indeed, all Ancient Snake Society members are mad.’

“Welcome, young brother, this is the first time I’ve been visited by an [Odd Technician]… although fate has already foretold your arrival…”

Bukadi opened his arms, his voice resonant.

“You… knew I was coming?”

Su Lu’s face remained unchanged, his right hand tightened.

“I did a divination… though its results may not necessarily be accurate…”

Bukadi said.

As a [Mysterious Master], he was proficient in various rituals, and divination was just one of them.

“So… you also know why I’m here.”

Su Lu asked.

“The inheritance of the [Dream Master] is in my hands, I can give it to you…” Bukadi said with a laugh: “I see the light of hope in you, you may grow to be as strong as Elder Blackacus.”

“But… do you know, once you reach the Fifth Level, you will immediately become an ‘object of attention’ for the Seven Major Orthodox Gods? The gods are unwilling to have too many high-ranking occupational individuals in the world, the Arcane Spirit is the best example!”

“Even… within their churches, each profession’s path of inheritance has obvious defects, such as [Demon Hunters] and [Fighters]…”

“Heehee… I see a glow of transcendence in your eyes, you are naturally one of us!”

Listening to Bukadi’s words, Su Lu fell silent.

Although the other party was mostly trying to bewitch him, some of the content was indeed true. For example, the [Demon Hunter] path controlled by the Goddess Church easily causes soul splitting, while the [Fighter] path controlled by the Church of the God of War has to face the problem of ‘Dragon Blood Baptism’ later on.

Basically, outside the [Assistant Priest] path which is the faith-holder path common to all seven churches, all other paths controlled by the church have more or less defects.

This may be the ‘limit’ set by the gods!

As nobody in their right mind would wait until their enemy grows to their level before countering them, this would be extremely foolish.

Starting from the Fifth Order Legend, while they may have risen above the mundane, they cannot pose much challenge to the real gods, which is the best time for close monitoring or suppression!
