Chapter 465: Chapter 0465: Wandering (Seeking Subscriptions)
“Realm of All Spirits.
Su Lu, together with another shadow clone, stands in the endless darkness.
He turns to take one final look at this area before leaving without turning back. Only his voice ripples through the air: “When I return…”
To advance to the seventh rank, one must first complete the ‘ritual’.
And the core of this ritual is to find a world that has not been ‘tainted’ by the divine!
By this standard, even the Guni World is unacceptable.
Despite its enough distance from this area, Shewinado knows its coordinates!
If Su Lu were to hold the ritual and Shewinado appeared suddenly, the scene would be incredible…
“From this perspective, the new wormhole seems a bit more reliable… because after passing through it, I won’t even know where I’ll end up.”
The prolonged lifespan of a mythical body gives Su Lu the confidence and resources to survive.
So, he stands there calmly in the Realm of All Spirits, commanding his shadow clone as it constantly risks its life.
The undercurrents and energy radiation in this realm now pose little threat to his mythical body, but wormholes are different!
What lays behind them could be a vortex of annihilation, a completely desolate area, or even an entirely new region.
In a nutshell, it’s like playing Russian roulette.
With his shadow clone, Su Lu begins to wander within the Realm of All Spirits.
After an indeterminate amount of time, a wormhole materializes before him.
“Shadow clone, go!”
The shadow clone plunges directly into the wormhole and vanishes in a blink.
The next moment, through the resonance with the Spirit World, Su Lu senses the obliteration of his shadow clone.
“On the other side, there is a convergence of destructive energy, no living world exists there…”
He shakes his head and continues his journey.
…
In the Realm of All Spirits, one can hardly sense the passage of time.
Su Lu has no idea how much time has passed.
His only focus is on moving in one direction and mapping out the Realm of All Spirits with accuracy.
Along the way, he has experienced a myriad of worlds, explored numerous wormholes, but the outcomes have been mixed.
Nevertheless,
Through the displacement of several wormholes, he can confirm that he is now extremely far from the area where the Main World resides.
“In addition… I found out that the worlds here are gradually differing from those in that other region…”
As a wanderer in the Spirit World, whenever he discovers a world that might meet his requirements, he naturally sends a shadow clone to scout first.
On this journey, he has discovered many peculiar worlds.
For instance… A world that has followed the Way of Fighting Qi totally, seemingly influenced by the God of War.
Or a world consisting only of oceans and islands where pirates reign supreme.
There’s even a world, a plant paradise, entirely made up of Tree People.
And a world rampant with diseases and death, where doctors possess transcendent strength, oozing with despair.
Unfortunately, in all these worlds, Su Lu senses the presence of the divine.
This isn’t due to his keen sense of smell, but by revelations received through the Dream Spirit World.
As a hub of a world, the Dream Spirit World hosts all world information. As long as a divine being appears, it will inevitably leave a taint!
Besides, the sole purpose of the appearance of these divine beings is to exert their influence.
In the myths and legends of each world, one can hear various stories about the church.
Upon encountering such worlds, Su Lu would unquestionably depart without uttering a word.
“I’m already three wormhole jumps away from the Main World, crossing a distance spanning millions of worlds… In this area, humanoid intelligent creatures are no longer the dominators of the world. Giant Beast Creatures are the primary civilization!”
“Moreover… traces of divine influence are becoming increasingly faint… perhaps due to the extreme desolation of this area?”
Su Lu notices that unlike the areas where worlds are densely packed, here, he must travel for a long time before reaching the next world.
Moreover, although these Giant Beast Creatures are a civilization, they aren’t very advanced and are intellectually deficient.
Due to this, hardly any divine beings are interested in this place.
“What a shame… I’m not interested either.”
Su Lu gives a bitter smile and continues his journey.
His journey aims not only at exploring the Realm of All Spirits and finding a world suitable for his ascension but also at finding the hometown from before his traversal.
The direction he chooses is just an intuition in his heart.
Gradually, he reaches the edge of this region.
The number of worlds here is extremely sparse, they only have endless darkness. The danger level of the undercurrents suddenly increases drastically, threatening even a sixth-rank occupational person.
Besides, there are plenty of void creatures that love the darkness living here.
To put it simply, this border area is exceedingly dangerous.
“Shadow clone!”
Su Lu stops at the critical position while a shadow clone emerges and ventures into it.
Traveling in the Realm of All Spirits is not without danger.
At least several times, he has encountered creatures with divine level power drifting around.
Their formidable power is detected by him from tens of thousands of miles away, and he evades them in advance.
Apart from this, there are some sudden dangers, but he has his shadow clones and numerous means at his disposal to solve them just about.
Moreover, during these wanderings and explorations, Su Lu feels his connection with the Spirit World becoming increasingly stronger, and his use of Spirit Power becoming more proficient.
Unconsciously, the profession of [Spirit Mage] has been gradually mastered by him and has reached its peak.
“Hm?”
Suddenly, Su Lu’s expression changes.
His shadow clone is being attacked by creatures of the void darkness!
The creatures seem to be part of a tribe, with bodies resembling lions, heads sporting six parallel unicorns, and three pairs of black wings on their backs.
“Damn it, did I wander into their lair?”
Cornered by the creatures, the shadow clone darts about, estimating their strength: “The mature six-horned beasts possess the power of the sixth rank, it seems that their strength is determined by the horns on their heads.”
Splat! Splat!
As he muses, his lower abdomen is pierced, blood spurts out and transform into the smallest mysterious rune particles in mid-air, eventually returning to him.
The immortality of the mythical body!
This is a bodily ability that Su Lu has gradually developed. Calling it ‘immortality’ might be overstating, but it indeed heals wounds at an incredible speed.
“You all can carry on fighting, I need to continue my exploration.”
Trapped and with essentially no way out, the shadow clone is not flustered. Instead, it dashes about, scanning the area.
Suddenly, its expression changes!
“There are so many… so many!”
At the edge of this region, amidst the surging undercurrents, a cluster of wormholes lined up like countless stars, unevenly distributed, each emitting a different aura.
Wormholes can be used to travel great distances in an instant. The ones that can be used in both directions are even more critical for Su Lu’s journey.
But this time, his changing expressions aren’t due to the discovery of wormholes.
It’s because among them, the aura of a certain wormhole stirs feelings in him that makes him almost tearful.
“That is…”
