Gilan sat up and looked at the wall on the left.
Originally, he could not clearly see the dim area with the weak light from the bedside lamp, but now, he could clearly see the time on the wall clock.
Tick tock, tick tock...
"Two: twenty in the morning." Gilan read out the time.
He knew that because he became Spirit Mystic, his body had undergone transformation... Not only had his eyesight been enhanced, but his thinking had also become sharper.
'The mind has become stable, and the control over the body has become more detailed.'
Gilan raised his hand and tried to fiddle with his fingers.
The five fingers seemed to have their own thoughts, bending and straightening at different speeds and movements, like five swaying seaweeds.
This is not a random movement, but the entire process is carefully controlled by himself.
'Of course, the biggest change is the increase in "secret skills".'
Gilan clearly felt that if he used "Bone-Crushing Kick" now, its power would be several times stronger than before.
According to <Branding Iron Secret Record>, the Spirit Mystic of the first-level "Kingdom" will not obtain any magical means or power, but will gain a certain increase based on itself.
Or physical strength, or thinking and senses, or something else.
The stability of the mind is the greatest gain.
Because this is a necessary condition for knowing, understanding and mastering mystery in the future.
"In the hand-drawn drawing in <Branding Iron Secret Record>, the first-level 'Path of the Flaming Sword' 'Kingdom' is located at the bottom of the sword tip. It is the original Origin Rank, without the original substance... Only at the second-level 'Foundation' will the original substance branch appear. At that time, twelve roads will be divided according to the rules of the triple spiral and the four major paths."
By Gilan Whisperer.
His memory was very clear, and the picture immediately appeared in his mind.
The gods I have seen and heard during this period, such as "Director", "Lady Snow", "Twin Kites", "Noon Dawn" and "Sorrowful Madonna" are all distributed on the top handle of "Path of the Flaming Sword".
February is "Director", the road is "Furnace Sword", and the second-level essence is "Actor".
In September, "Lady Snow", the road is "Furnace Scepter", the second-level essence "Businessman".
In May, "Twin Kites", the road is "God-Communing Pentacle", the second-level essence "reporter".
In July, "Noon Dawn", the path is "God-Communing Chalice", the second-level essence "Priest".
August "Sorrowful Madonna", the road is "God-Communing Scepter", and the second-level essence is "Prisoner".
'Climbing from level 1 to level 2 requires a process of accumulation.'
Gilan was thinking.
'Gnosis needs to be higher, in order to increase the upper limit of the spiritual ability to accommodate the elements of the universe. Until it reaches a certain critical point, the foundation can be formed at "Mind Kingdom", and only then can we step on the ground to advance.'
"Take your time, with <Iron Thorn Meditation Method> here, the efficiency of tempering Gnosis will only become higher and higher."
Gilan is looking forward to this.
As for the choice of future path, he has not thought about it yet, and he also lacks the corresponding knowledge, making it difficult to climb.
Twelve roads, twelve Hour-God.
This will be a path gradually closer to God.
Now, Gilan takes the first step.

Perhaps because he had just stepped into the mysterious realm, Gilan was in high spirits and no longer sleepy.
He simply sat on the bedside and read the rest of <Branding Iron Secret Record>.
This is also the core content written by the author Shadai Balbina in the handwritten note, which completely records a psychic ritual that has been studied for four years.
Through reading, Gilan learned the full name of this ceremony--
"Probe at Hell's Border"
This ceremony consists of two parts, one is <On the Strange Visages of Devils>.
It records the author Shadai's information description of the "devil", as well as the specific spells and medium-making methods of "summoning magic".
Of course, there are also steps for drawing the ritual magic circle.
The second is <Devil Summoning Record>.
This part records in detail the process of the author Shadai summoning and enslaving the devil in four years.
Call out, threaten, oppress, restrain, enslave, torture, entertain, exploit...
Finally let him go.
Shadai does everything possible, with a total of 162 records, and every word seems to be stained with the tears and blood of the devil. Except for a few devils who were let go and captured again, this part records the real names, abilities and personalities of 155 different devils.
"What a powerful female magician!"
Gilan looked at the content on the note and was surprised.
Wow...
He turned to the next page.
"Devils are evil creatures with spiritual intelligence. They have appeared since the birth of Hour-God'Omer' in July... Countless mortals have been tempted, played with and even killed by devils."
"And the devil is extremely cunning, and is born with low-Gnosis abilities that cannot be seen, and once became a disaster for thousands of years."
"They have been called various names in the history of human civilization, such as 'Demon', 'Evil Spirit', 'Dream Man', 'Nightmare' and 'Elf', etc. However, they are spiritual bodies in nature and it is difficult to harm them with physical means."
"If humans and devils have a close relationship, there will only be two identities: victim and abuser, and there will be no relationship of equality and cooperation."
"I will borrow the content from the book <Worldly Mysteries> by my old friend Pala Celsus to tell you about the two identities--"
"Those who give up their souls and sign a contract with the devil are called 'magicians'."
"The devil feeds on souls to strengthen himself."
"'Magicians' are all servants of the devil. Because the contract is witnessed by May Hour-God'Twin Kites', it has supreme validity. Those who sign the contract will lose their freedom and soul forever, but they can borrow mysterious powers that do not belong to humans from the devil."
"Those who sign a contract with the devil through coercion and inducement are called 'wizards'."
"The devil sacrifices freedom for the chance of survival."
"'Wizards' are the collective name for ancient magicians. They used devils as servants to provide convenience and help for themselves. In the eyes of wizards, devils are regarded as pets, tools, consumables and even playthings. Of course, some wizards will treat devils well and affectionately call them 'familiar'."

It's half past three in the morning.
Gilan closed the red leather hand post.
In the room, his eyes reflected the warm light of the bedside lamp, like two stars.
He finally knew what the mysterious power controlled by Layton Lewis was.
"It turns out to be a 'magician'." Gilan chuckled.
Louis Family The person in power sold his soul in exchange for mysterious power.
Facing ordinary mortals, Layton can use various means to deal with them, but the opponent has no countermeasures at all.
Gilan It can be imagined that Layton has used his identity as a "magician" to have unfavorable experiences in the business field over the years.
But now, Layton will run into an iron wall.
Because Gilan plans to arrange a channeling ceremony immediately.
He only needs to follow the steps recorded in the secret book, and he can transform into an ancient magician and enslave a devil on the spot to help him.
With the guidance of the secret book, it was as if the author Shadai Balbina was by his side, teaching him step by step how to PUA the devil and sign a contract in reverse.
Gilan stood up and walked straight to the door.
"The devil will like me." He grinned, his teeth white.
Thanks to "Hu Ermu" for the 500 point reward!
Thanks to "Shiliyifang" for the 200-point reward!
