The Mind Realm
late at night.
Inside the secret room, Sulu sat cross-legged. "Soul Projection!"
In an instant, his spirit flew out of his body and gazed around.
Outside the dormitory, there was a layer of detecting aura. Once his spirit went out, it would immediately appear and be watched by a large number of people from the Inner Circle.
"Even... there's a sealing force within the Spirit World. No wonder it's a comprehensive Mist Lock crafted by an [Arcanist]; its defensive capabilities are truly formidable!"
He sighed.
Of course, the Inner Circle does not disregard privacy. Each member's bedroom and secret training room are free from the power of the Mist Lock, allowing for some light training.
However, going out at night is just wishful thinking.
Sulu pondered for a moment, then looked at the Attribute Panel:

"Strength increased by 0.1? I've been training as a [Soldier] for half a month, and I'm feeling quite eager to break through! Perhaps all it takes is an opportunity!"
"And the accumulation of experience points has finally yielded results."
At this point, he was still thinking about getting a job as Soldier through training and wouldn't waste his experience.
Sulu thought for a moment and then focused his attention on [Soul Projection LV3].
This is the [Medium]'s core skill, and it can directly increase spirit.
"During the last advancement, I already sensed the second layer of the Spirit World, only missing a thin membrane. This time, I'm sure I can break through it!"
Sulu thought for a moment and decided to improve his Soul Projection skill.
Using experience to directly assume the roles of [Soldier] or [Rogue] would be too conspicuous in the Inner Circle.
Of all the other skills, Soul Projection is the most important.
Furthermore, based on his experience, skills may undergo a qualitative change at level 4.
[Consumed 600 experience points... Soul Projection level increased to LV4!]
[Soul Projection LV4: Explore the second layer of the Spirit World, Spirit +0.6!]
A line of data appears.
In that instant, Sulu felt the barrier that had been preventing him from peering into the second layer of the Spirit World suddenly disappear.
His spirit involuntarily left his body and arrived at the first level of the Spirit World, and then leaped again to enter the second level of the Spirit World!
The Spirit World is vast and boundless, and extremely mysterious.
Theoretically, the first layer of the Spirit World is the Phantom Spirit World, which is closely related to the real world and is the habitat of spirits.
The second Spirit World is the Mind World!
It is the connection between everyone's heart and soul, the ocean of consciousness!
At this moment, Sulu's spirit arrived at a vast and boundless sea, where numerous lights gathered around him, carrying a mysterious aura and a unique attraction.
"The second layer of the Spirit World, the Mind World, is the collection of the consciousness of all beings. Through it, one can enter the mind and memories of any Wisdom being! Therefore, a spirit that reaches the second layer can kill from memories, tamper with and manipulate the memories of its victims..."
"Furthermore... I didn't sense any interference from the power of the Mist Lock, which is truly terrifying!"
Sulu was deeply afraid of the Inner Circle ring of Green Tree Castle Fortress, having only seen the tip of the iceberg.
The Mist Lock is the core of Green Tree Castle's defenses, of paramount importance!
But now, he was horrified to discover that even the power of Green Tree Castle's Mist Lock could not penetrate the second layer of the Spirit World!
What incredible power this is!
"In other words... if we release that Cursed Spirit from Nia City, it can kill just as easily, unaffected by the Mist Lock defenses... unless it actively descends upon the first layer of the Spirit World or the real world."
Sulu sighed.
Originally, after seeing the Inner Circle Green Tree Castle, he thought that humanity in this world had finally conquered the mysterious.
Only now did he realize that compared to the vast Spirit World, even the Inner Circle Green Tree Castle Fortress was nothing more than a large ant!
"Wait a minute, information about the second layer of the Spirit World... might not even be accessible to [Mystic Expert]... because the [Mystic Expert] have gone astray. Only the [Thaumaturge] path is dedicated to researching the Spirit World, which is why there's a requirement for Soul Projection level to become a professional!"
Sulu understood something else. "There are just too many secrets in the Spirit World."
Just then, he touched his forehead.
Above the spirit body, a Pentagram emblem appeared.
Following this unseen connection, his vision went black, and his spirit plummeted rapidly, seemingly arriving before a black the Vortex.
The Vortex, like a monster with its mouth wide open, swallowed him whole.
Before them, blood flowed freely from the altar, and numerous Death Cultist clad in black robes cheered Frenzy: "Praise be to you, great Lord of Death, Goddess of the Moon! Thank you for sending the Saintess!"
"The power of death!"
A jade-like hand appeared and used a dagger to slit the throat of the sacrificial offering.
The offering, clearly belonging to a superhuman, twitched briefly before becoming still.
At the same time, a force descended, transforming into a poignant moonlight, continuously enhancing the power of the palm's owner.
Seeing this, the Death Cultist became even more Frenzy: "Saintess! Saintess!"
'Am I... their Saintess?'
Sulu held up her delicate hand, her mind a little fuzzy: 'Wait... what... is this?'
In an instant, a flood of information flowed through his mind, making him understand many things at once.
Death can increase one's own—no, this Saintess's —power!
There was even a fragmented piece of occupational information:
'[Corpse Princess]...[Banshee]...[Lich]...[???]...[King of the Undead]'!
"You... were looking for me?"
Sulu suddenly heard the ' Saintess ' voice, which was somewhat cold and somewhat familiar.
Suddenly, a strong sense of danger washed over me.
Without a second thought, he severed the connection.
Green Tree Castle Inner Circle.
"Whoosh!"
As if jolted awake from a nightmare, large beads of sweat rolled down Sulu's forehead as he gasped for breath. "Was that... Beatrice?"
After he woke up, he understood.
The Mind World is the collection of the subconscious of all beings, and Beatrice is certainly not exempt from it.
Through their Master-Servant Pact, he directly located the other's mind from the Mind World and entered it to sense a memory.
"Damn it, Beatrice seems to have gotten even stronger... Does death directly increase her power?"
"And that job information... [Corpse Princess] seems to be Tier 1, [Banshee] is Tier 2, Tier 3 is [Lich], Tier 4 is incomplete... No, I haven't obtained the relevant memories, but I know that its Tier 5 legendary job is [King of the Undead]!"
