203. Dream Spirit Realm

"This is?"

The unrest in the city has escalated, seemingly plunging into an even more dire situation.

Sulu stood up, went to the window, and opened it a crack. He saw a vast ocean appear in mid-air.

"The Mind World... has it already been eroded to the second layer so quickly?"

Sulu sat back down, rubbing his temples, his expression extremely solemn.

Once Nia City is corrupted to the third level of the Spirit World, even his spirit will be unable to enter or leave.

"But there's still one last trump card..."

He stared at the card in his hand that sealed away the Evil Spirit Knight.

As Cursed Spirit and a high-ranking spiritual being, the other party undoubtedly possesses the ability to traverse the Spirit World.

If I can experience ' Evil Spirit Possession ' again, I can try to physically travel to the Spirit World!

"However... the price is also very high. Not to mention the burning of my soul... I still can't fully control the Evil Spirit Knight's power. Every time I use it, there's a great risk. It might take over my consciousness and regenerate in my body..."

"Furthermore... external forces are ultimately external, difficult to control precisely... Even if I can Spirit World Travel, with my Soul Projection Level 4, it's still difficult to pinpoint reality..."

The ability to Spirit World Travel inevitably requires the power of at least three layers of Spirit World.

At this point, Sulu's own strength had not yet reached that level.

This means that even if one manages to escape Nia City, the price might be getting lost in the depths of the Spirit World.

In that case, the outcome might be worse than struggling in Nia City.

So I was thinking of seeing what solutions the authorities had, but now that's all gone, and I have to rely on myself.

"I must improve my Soul Projection; I need to at least reach the third level of the Spirit World... even LV5 might not be enough... As for experience points, I can only make up for it with the <Book of Nameless Necro-Spirits>, which is very useful for improving Spirit World -related abilities, although it also has significant side effects..."

Sulu stared at the two Blood Bottle placed to the side.

This was a medicine he had previously acquired from the Blood Therapist Angie; it was said to be very effective in treating mental disorders.

But the possibility of ' Blood of God ' inside made him extremely wary.

"In critical moments, it can only be used as a treatment... Even if this attempt fails, the Blood of God may be the last resort."

Sulu gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and focused his attention on the Attribute Panel:

[1200 experience points consumed... Soul Projection level increased to LV5!]

[Soul Projection LV5: Increased affinity with spirits, increased perception of the Spirit World, and +0.8 to mental strength!]

Experience points were consumed rapidly, while the ability to Soul Projection increased at an astonishing pace.

"Hmm..."

Sulu groaned and covered his forehead.

His Inspiration intensified once again, and his exploration of the Spirit World deepened.

Furthermore, I could even vaguely sense another layer of space above the Mind World.

No!

It is no longer appropriate to describe it as a 'layer' space.

It was a world that seemed to be everywhere, all-encompassing, bizarre and fantastical.

In that world, many rules of the real world have become invalid or distorted, and it is filled with incredible things, as well as various mysterious symbols and emblems.

Its name is -- ' Dream Spirit World '!

The 'dream' here does not refer to a world composed of various dreamscapes, but rather emphasizes the distortion of rules, where time and space become a joke, as absurd as a dream, where anything is possible!

Of course, since anything is possible, connecting to dreams is also possible, but this is by no means the whole story, only a very small part of it!

Although Sulu could sense this layer of the Spirit World, breaking through it with his spirit was extremely difficult.

"I'm always like this... No wonder this world's research on the Spirit World is still so backward, mostly focused on the first level... Even the [Mystic Master] probably can't touch the secrets of the Dream Spirit World, right?"

Sulu sighed, glanced at his already insufficient experience points, and opened the <Book of Nameless Necro-Spirits>.

Soon, he saw the page that had previously displayed a variety of colors and chaotic lines, resembling an abstract painting.

"Praise be to you, Spirit of All Spirits, your realm is infinitely vast..."

"I crossed the Sea of Psyche and arrived at the third level of the spirit..."

"I saw... a distortion of the rules..."

"That boundless, absurd, everything—it's all your masterpiece..."

This time, he came prepared, his mind highly focused, or perhaps it was because his Soul Projection level had increased, that he was able to continue reading.

"Countless dreams... are just pebbles picked up randomly from the roadside..."

"The earth is infinitely vast, situated above the ocean... capable of bearing the mighty power of the gods..."

[Ding! Fifth-tier class information detected - Soul Reaper, analyzing...]

The tooltip in the Attribute Panel appeared out of nowhere.

Sulu was somewhat engrossed in reading, glanced at his Inspiration points and immediately stopped reading.

"Phew... thankfully, it's not critical yet... no need for treatment."

He let out a long sigh, closed the <Book of Nameless Necro-Spirits>, and checked the other data. He then noticed two very interesting reminders:

[You have read the Book of Nameless Necro-Spirits, Spirit +1.5!]

[XP+1500]

"Directly increasing spirit? That didn't happen before... It seems this book, while dangerous, also has great benefits..."

Looking at the notifications and the surge in experience points, Sulu had some thoughts. "Previously, there was no direct increase in mental data, and the experience points also increased relatively little. Perhaps I didn't see the key milestones?"

This point should be the appearance of Tier 5 legendary classes!

He glanced at the thickness of the book and realized that he had already read most of it.

"The rest is the real treasure... but unfortunately... it's beyond my current capabilities to uncover."

Sulu sighed, then composed himself. "Increase the level of Soul Projection!"

[Consumed 2400 experience points... Soul Projection level increased to LV6!]

[Soul Projection LV6: Explore the third layer of the Spirit World, Spirit +1!]

Boom!

Sulu's body trembled.

When I opened my eyes again, I was shocked to find myself in a bizarre world.

The land was semi-transparent, and the sea below could be vaguely seen, making it seem as if he was walking directly in the sky.

Higher up, a pink pig is flying freely.

"Without realizing it... my soul left my Soul Projection and I arrived in... the Dream Spirit World?"

Sulu muttered to himself, sensing that his physical body could return at any time, and then let out a long breath.

He carefully observed his surroundings, communicating with various spiritual entities and gaining a great deal of knowledge:

"Here, most of the rules of reality fail or are distorted, becoming bizarre and fantastical, like a dream, yet undeniably real... At the same time, contact with the third layer of the Spirit World is a mandatory requirement for Spirit World Travel!"

Only in the Dream Spirit World do the rules of distance cease to apply; with a single step, he could potentially traverse thousands of kilometers in the real world!

The so-called ' Spirit World Travel ' utilizes this characteristic!
