Meeting

"Elder?"

Inside the villa, several wooden puppets in the corner shattered instantly upon Sulu's first strike.

Several members of the Ancient Serpent Society, dressed in black robes, gathered before Bukadi, a bald Mystic Elder with white eyebrows, who was only wearing a linen robe.

"A spirit has attacked from the Mind World."

Bukadi's gaze was gentle, showing no sign of panic. He sat cross-legged in the center of a Pentagram altar, a smile on his face, "Nailin of the Dougwell Family is a cautious gentleman. Do not attack without authorization, even if you are surrounded. Buy time... My main consciousness will enter the Mind World."

According to mysticism, the subconscious is the core of the Mind World.

After breaking through to the second level of the Spirit World, a person's main consciousness can merge with their subconscious and gain control over it!

From this alone, one can tell that this ' Mystic Elder ' has profound expertise in exploring the Spirit World, having already reached the second level of the Spirit World.

But that's normal.

After all, he rose through the ranks from [Medium]. Even though [Mystic Expert] doesn't require the level of Soul Projection, it doesn't mean he can't improve and conduct research.

Of course, he only stopped at the second level. Otherwise, if he could have explored the third level of the Spirit World, he would definitely have chosen the path of a [Thaumaturge] instead of a [Mystic Master]!

Bukadi closed his eyes.

His spirit ascended infinitely, seemingly reaching the Mind World and entering his subconscious.

The deepest part of the Mind World is the core of the subconscious, and the deepest part of the core of the subconscious is the most important area of memory!

"So strong!"

As Sulu plunged into the Vortex, he felt immense resistance.

Once he had fully entered the secret realm, he arrived at an underground cave.

No!

It's less of an underground cave and more of a vast underground city!

Countless followers of the Ancient Serpent Society, clad in black robes, guarded the key points. Upon seeing the invading enemy, they roared and surrounded them.

"Even the grunts are first-tier professionals, there are quite a few second-tier ones, and even some third-tier ones... and..."

Sulu looked at his own body.

A powerful suction force, like the Vortex, surrounded him, seemingly trying to tear him apart or throw him out of the secret realm, creating a strong restraint.

This is the home-field dominance of a fourth-tier professional over an intruder!

"Royal palace type?"

Sulu chuckled and raised his right hand.

A glint of light flashed in his eyes amidst his Greed, and a Thaumaturgy Card appeared. "Sealing Card... Release!"

Buzz!

In that instant, the earth became incredibly soft, as if it had transformed into a swamp, swallowing up those who surrounded it.

--' Mud Swamp '!

Greed Glove, Thaumaturgy Card, and even Demon Hunting Dagger are all Curio that can be brought into the Spirit World, which was something Sulu had naturally considered during his preparations.

In particular, the Greed Glove, whose main material comes from the Spirit World, allow Sulu to instantly switch between cards and daggers, making him incredibly agile.

With a wave of his hand, an orange-yellow fireball formed in his palm, which slammed into the black-robed man, creating a wave of fire.

--Fireball!

Using the Mud Swamp to slow down his opponent, and then clearing a path with Fireball, Sulu transformed into a blur, thrusting straight into the inner perimeter of the underground city.

Generally speaking, the defense of a royal palace involves a group of guards protecting the 'emperor' or 'princess', who is the core of the subconscious!

Therefore, the key is to break through the defenses, not to eliminate the guards.

Sulu has an abundance of such experience.

He charged left and right, drawing away a large number of troops, and seized every opportunity to break through and reach the core of this underground city.

It was a magnificent and imposing Temple.

"If I'm not mistaken, there must be Ancient Great Serpent being worshipped inside, which is to say, Demon?"

Sulu pursed his lips. "If this were the time when the gods were truly revived, my reckless intrusion might lead me directly to the true form of the Ancient Great Serpent, and then I might die or become a monster fanatic?"

"But now..."

He hid in the shadows and flicked his hand.

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

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Sulu drew his Demon Hunting Dagger and stabbed several black-robed men who had stayed close to the Temple gate, killing them and entering the Temple hall.

Surprisingly, there were no more guards inside the Temple.

The vast stone hall was incredibly tall, built entirely of marble, making Sulu feel as if he had entered a giant's palace.

On the thirteen steps stood an old man, dressed in a hemp robe, bald with white eyebrows. His left side of his face was very calm, but his right side was extremely ferocious, with bloodshot eyes.

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

"I have never seen such a crazy yet rational consciousness..."

Sulu sighed, adding in his mind, "As expected, the people from the Ancient Serpent Society are all lunatics."

"Welcome, young brother. This is the first time I've received a visit from a [Thaumaturge]... though fate had foreshadowed your arrival..."

Bukadi opened his arms wide, his voice booming.

"You... knew I was coming?"

Sulu's expression remained unchanged, but his right hand tightened its grip.

I had a fortune telling done... although the result isn't always accurate...

Bukadi said.

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

"So... you know why I'm here."

"Sulu asked."

"The legacy of the [Dream Master] is in my hands, and I can give it to you..." Bukadi laughed, "I see the light of legendary hope in you; you have the potential to grow into a powerhouse comparable to Elder Hexus."

"But... do you know that once you reach the fifth rank, you will immediately become the 'target of attention' of the Seven True Gods? The gods do not want too many high-level professionals in the world; the Arcane Spirit is the best example!"

"Even... within their Church, each lineage's career path has obvious flaws, such as [Witch Hunter] and [Warrior]..."

"Hehe... I see a brilliance beyond compare in your eyes. You were born to be one of us!"

Hearing Bukadi's words, Sulu fell silent.

Although the other party's claims were mostly deceptive, some of their statements were indeed true. For example, the [Witch Hunter] path, which is controlled by the Goddess Church, is prone to soul splitting, while the [Warrior] path, controlled by the Church of the God of War, faces the challenge of ' Dragon Blood Baptism ' later in life.

Basically, apart from the [Acolyte] path, which is a shared faith-based professional path among the seven major Church, the other paths mastered by the Church all have more or less flaws.

This may be the 'limitation' of the gods!

Because a smart person would never wait until their enemy grows to the same level as themselves before targeting them; that would be extremely foolish.

At the fifth level of the legendary realm, one has already transcended the mortal world, but still poses little challenge to true gods. This is the best time to focus on them or to eliminate those who are being suppressed!
