After the successive upgrades, Su Lu sat still, experiencing the various changes in his body.

“With a spirit level of 4.0, plus a 0.8 bonus from the spirit thorn, I probably have the power to lethally harm some first-tier Transcendents…”

“As I am now, I should be considered strong among the second-tier Transcendent elites, right?”

“Next, I need to seek out the person possessed by the evil spirit and deal with them.”

To find that enemy, Su Lu had two plans in mind.

The first was to inspect Posey Port’s cemeteries, find the Beak Monster that the enemy commanded, and trace it back through the Spirit World.

The second plan was to confront Gerald directly.

Since the enemy had hired the possessor of the evil spirit, they certainly knew how to contact him.

“But this approach might lead to a collision with Federation forces, so caution is necessary.”

Having thought through these, Su Lu changed into clean clothes, stepped out of his house, hailed a carriage, and started sightseeing around Posey Port.

After all, officially he was a university student on a graduation trip, so he had to put on the appearance of a tourist.

Also, he had always wanted to visit the renowned Goddess of Light Memorial Tower.

Two days went by in a blink of an eye.

In a café.

Su Lu sipped his coffee while reading the newspaper.

The incident at Kira Gales’ apartment was reported in the local newspaper as a gang feud resulting in a fire. As a result, the city government launched a crackdown and eliminated several gangs, leading to unprecedented good order in Posey Port.

These were just empty words.

Only Su Lu and a few others knew the truth of that night.

“It’s about time…”

He murmured to himself as he stood to leave, returning to his hotel, settling his bills, and heading alone for the outskirts.

“These past few nights, I have been monitoring the cemeteries and monitoring Gerald using Soul Trance… Surprisingly, they’ve both been quiet. Have they been warned by some kind of power?”

Su Lu can’t keep playing hide-and-seek with them in Posey Port forever.

Therefore, he decided to probe one more time tonight, leave tomorrow if he found nothing, and had already bought his train ticket in advance.

He found a place to hide in the wilderness, familiar from the past few days of scouting. It was far from prying eyes, and placing an alert circle on its perimeter should be enough.

Next, Su Lu set up talismans for protective spirit shields and candles.

After ascending to the rank of [Mystical Scholar], the creations he made proved to be more effective and could be considered genuine miraculous items. “Actually… this setup is merely a warning!”

Su Lu thought somewhat helplessly as his soul took a quick leap out of his body and entered the real world.

He glanced around. Inside the cave, the color of the candlelight turned hazy, and everything seemed to be veiled lightly as Su Lu took a deep breath and transitioned to the first layer of the Spirit World.

“The first layer of the Spirit World is essentially a projection of the real world… so the terrain, even the buildings, are the same… However, there’s no life!

Well… no ‘living’ life!”

As Su Lu was in a cave, the first layer of the Spirit World he was in was also a cave.

But compared to what he had just seen, it seemed more hazy.

He looked at himself and found that, at his will, his spirit body had changed into a black trench coat.

A silver beak-like mask not only covered his face but also seemed to merge with it.

“Because the ‘Raven’s Mask’ belongs to a class of supernatural items, it can be brought into the Spirit World? Most real-world items can’t, some miraculous items can and some can’t… of course, perhaps this is due to my insufficient [Spirit Medium] ability.”

Su Lu faintly felt that if his power continuously increased, in future, it might not be impossible to bring any item into the Spirit World or even physically enter it.

He walked out of the boundary he had set up and into the forest.

The forest in the Spirit World had translucent trees that also shone with a soft glow.

Some of this was due to their innate spirit glow, while some was due to roaming spirits.

Some were in the form of luminescent jellyfish, or ghostly flames from graves, most without consciousness.

Sporadically, a few that maintained human forms caught his attention.

Su Lu darted through the Spirit World at high speed.

“Because the first layer of the Spirit World is closely tied to reality, the concept of ‘distance’ still exists!”

Su Lu’s form swiftly passed a series of stunning sceneries without pausing.

In actuality, in his spirit form, he could wander in the real world as well. The speed would really be just about the same. But for a spirit body, it feels more comfortable to roam in the Spirit World.

Due to his ascension to a second-order Transcendent, Su Lu felt that his spiritual power could last a long time outside his body!

“Of course, the Spirit World can also be dangerous, even the first layer! But the real world is just as risky… I might be monitored by mysterious powers, like the church! Or other types of spiritual professions!”

Although the first layer of the Spirit World was quite similar to the real world, they were not identical.

Put simply, the real world is inhabited mostly by animals, humans, and other forms of life. While in the Spirit World, the creatures Su Lu mostly encountered were various spirits.

At a glance, it seemed like it was two faces of the same world; one side was the world of humans, and the other side was the underworld!

Su Lu hurried along carefully, cautiously avoiding certain areas that appeared very dangerous.

The ‘appearance’ of creatures in the Spirit World was entirely determined by their power.

If a [Spirit Medium]’s instinct sensed a severe danger ahead, there must be a powerful spirit lurking, and he should just bypass it.

Even more, Su Lu had seen some fissures in the Spirit World.

Those were the overlapping points of the Spirit World and reality, where supernatural events easily occurred and spirits could emerge.

“Just like there are beings in the human world who can roam the Spirit World freely, even though most unconscious spirits lack this ability, certainly some powerful spirits can freely traverse both worlds…”

Su Lu mused: “What a pity… The rules of ‘reality’ in the first layer of the Spirit

World are still very strong! This can only be called moving within the Spirit

World, not a true traversing skill!”

He had a hunch that higher-level spirits could ignore distance by using the special situations in the second or even third layer of the Spirit World and transfer between points in the higher layers.

In that way, they might be able to cross the distance in the first layer of the Spirit World in just a few seconds.

If this happens in the real world, it will just look like teleportation!
