This "Tree of Life" that grew in the spirit world was a "beacon" set by Extraordinaries when they first entered the spirit world. This was because the first landing spot was often the place where they resonated with the spirit world the most. It was of extraordinary significance.
This "beacon" would allow them to find their way back to this place no matter how far they went in their future exploration.
In other words, this place had become Elvin's base camp for his future exploration of the spirit world!
It could also provide Elvin with various support, including positioning, defense, concealment, recuperation … This was also another advantage of being invisible for the school of sorcerers.
At this moment, the ring-shaped spirit world sun in the dark sky flickered with silver light. It seemed to lack the brightness of the material world even though it was broad daylight.
However, the tree beacon behind him seemed to be nourished by this strange sunlight. It gently swayed and dissipated the spiritual power that it constantly absorbed, creating a small world that was more suitable for human survival under the tree crown.
It made Elvin feel as if his spirit aura was growing with every breath.
"Phew —"
At this moment, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Whether it was from the secret inheritance scroll or Milan, the information that Elvin obtained was that there was no place that was absolutely safe in the spirit world. Even if he had just completed his descent, he could be suddenly attacked.
In particular, the flow of time in the spirit world was thirty-six times faster than in the material world. A bottle of Psychic Potion that had a time limit of one hour allowed Elvin to stay in the spirit world for a day and a half.
During this period, unless he used a "beacon" or other treasures, he wouldn't be able to leave on his own.
If he encountered danger, unless he fled immediately, he could only rely on his own strength and the "shelter" he established.
After being temporarily safe, Elvin finally had the time to pay attention to his current appearance.
It didn't have a fixed body like a physical body. It was just a ball of white light with a constantly beating bronze mechanical heart as its core. Only a pair of emerald green eyes didn't change much.
The clear and pure color meant that his mental state was normal. He wasn't contaminated or had any other extreme emotions.
However, he clearly looked much taller and stronger than an ordinary person. At a visual estimate, he had already reached 2.54 meters.
The changes in his Soul Equipment were obvious as well.
On his neck was a brown shield-shaped stone that glowed faintly with yellow light. His body was draped in a short green robe that reached his calves. His upper body was covered in a steel half-body armor with black spikes.
Hanging from his waist was a staff that looked no different from a sword staff and a pile of green seeds. On his feet was a pair of dark green boots.
Apart from the seemingly identical sword staff, everything in the material world had undergone significant changes here.
Because this was a spiritual world that was even more bizarre than a dream!
Except for a few rare treasures, the materials of the two worlds could not be directly exchanged. However, materials with spirituality could appear in the form of conceptualized symbols and projections in the Spiritual Realm, which were very different from the appearance of the material world.
It was the same for humans. Wizards who had the ability to explore the spirit world and a few extraordinaires of other professions showed their most "real" appearance in this world.
Shapeless balls of light, crude mechanical bodies, filthy monsters with tentacles … Anything was possible.
Moreover, all appearances originated from a certain characteristic of their bodies. The more obvious the characteristic, the stronger the appearance.
In this world, the closer one's appearance was to the material world, the stronger one's strength would be. A Grade 3 Wizard was almost no different from the outside world.
Thus, to outsiders, the more unrecognizable one looked, the weaker one was. The more ordinary one looked, the weaker one was. That was the true boss!
For a newbie like Elvin who had just entered the spirit world, he was a luminous object that was as simple as a stroke of a pen. It was not even as tangible as a Soul Equipment.
Of course, there were treasures that could conceal one's own characteristics and not be seen through by others. However, such treasures were something that Elvin could forget about for now.
It was already good enough that he had a self-made robe made of pine needles to cover his body.
So far, the opening was very normal.
He did not encounter any difficult dangers, nor did he enter the treasury right away. Needless to say, he would have to explore on his own if he wanted to gain anything.
Moreover, the beacon was here. He had to quickly confirm the situation around him and see if there was any danger that could threaten him.
If there was a nest of spirit world monsters nearby, it would be terrible.
Fortunately, Elvin was prepared.
Snap!
He snapped his fingers with a ball of light that was almost indistinguishable.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A large flock of seagulls that were shining with white light flew out from under Elvin's robe. They turned into a large blur of light and quickly covered the sky above the city ruins.
[Witchcraft — White Bird!]
It was the spiritualized white seagulls that had followed Elvin here. The qualitative change from drones to reconnaissance satellites had made them another powerful weapon in Elvin's hands.
Especially in a world with a special nature like the spirit world, these spirit creatures had a wide range of uses and were not limited to reconnaissance.
Although the "Activation School" was more proficient in modifying the material world, they were more like biologists. However, the exploration of the spirit world was a compulsory course for every Wizard. Of course, there was a set of corresponding witchcraft reserves, and it was definitely not weak!
"Let me see what treasures are in my territory."
Obviously, Elvin had already treated this huge ancient city as his own, as a bridgehead to explore this unknown world.
Soon, the dense reconnaissance network had transmitted the situation of the entire city back to Elvin. Everything was presented in detail in front of Elvin. The only flaw was that it did not have Besmir as the central processor. There was no focus at all, and Elvin had to go through it himself.
The entire city was about 180 square kilometers in size. It was a huge building complex formed by circles of rectangular city areas.
The overall structure was high in the middle and low in the sides. The place where Elvin landed was at the center of the entire city, on a dilapidated but huge square.
The various living areas in the city were clearly divided, and there were still remnants of the prosperity of the past.
From the structure of the buildings, it was easy to tell that there was a clear hierarchy here. It should have been a city ruled by royalty or priests.
So far, the seagulls did not find any large living creatures here. There were only some unknown black bugs in the gaps of various buildings.
At least on the surface, it did not seem like they were a threat to him.
Other than that, the strangest thing was.
The temples, arenas, astronomical halls, barracks, palaces depicting the sun and thunder, which were supposed to be the core buildings, were scattered messily in the lowest level of the city. They faintly surrounded the entire city and blocked Elvin's way of exploration.
"Common sense is really a piece of toilet paper in the strange spiritual world."
One of the exploration rules of the spiritual world was to never believe in the common sense formed in the material world.
Because the spiritual world was a higher dimension than the material world, humans entered it in the state of spirit bodies, but they did not have the ability to observe and process the higher dimensions.
Therefore, in the eyes of humans, everything that existed here was full of compression, displacement, and symbolism. What one saw and felt might not be the real thing. It might just be an insignificant corner of a huge iceberg floating on the water surface.
In countless years of exploration, the wizards had long found that the higher the degree of materialization, the stricter the rules of the world, and the higher the degree of spiritualization, the more casual the rules of the world.
Just the environment that was strange to the point that it was difficult to understand would bring all kinds of unexpected dangers to the explorers. The conflict between "reality" and experience would often cause them to make the wrong judgment, which would then lead to disastrous consequences.
And now, judging from his experience, those special functional buildings were the most likely places to be dangerous. Elvin decided to test it out personally and assess the level of danger.
Flutter!
A bird-shaped luminous object gently landed on the lowest level of the city. The entrance of the palace, which was decorated with a large number of sun and thunder patterns, looked like the center of the city's power.
There stood a broken obsidian stele.
Bang!
A white halo overflowed, and the bird-shaped luminous object had rapidly expanded and distorted into another Elvin's appearance, except that the facial image was more blurred. The body was covered in feathers, and even the hands were seagull wings.
Obviously, Elvin had entrusted a part of his consciousness to this seagull.
"Posedia City — Sun Palace? A more accurate translation would be the residence of the sun. Is there really a sun hidden here? "
The words written in spirit language on the stele were already very blurred, and only a few large words at the top could be barely recognized.
Boom!
However, after the words "residence of the sun" were spoken, the bird-man Elvin transformed into could not help but retreat by more than ten meters. This dilapidated palace really seemed to be hiding a blazing sun, and just standing there felt like being burned by the shocking heat.
With a burnt smell, he flapped his wings and flew away. After a few dozen meters away, the burning sensation on his wings gradually subsided.
"Isn't this idealistic world too f * cking unreasonable? I didn't know what this place was at first, and I didn't feel anything at all. But after I knew, my senses reacted immediately.
If I truly believed that this city was built on the sun, wouldn't I be burned to death immediately?
In the spiritual realm exploration, most of the Extraordinaries wouldn't be played to death like this, right? "
However, on second thought, there were people in the material world who were electrocuted to death by wires without electricity, and even the symptoms were exactly the same as after being electrocuted. In the idealistic world, this kind of situation was not rare at all.
However, there should be some kind of operating mechanism and restrictions in this situation. Otherwise, even a Crown Wizard could die on the spot in minutes.
Therefore, there must be some kind of powerful treasure related to the sun here.
Otherwise, if one's imagination could kill them, it would be more ridiculous than the Great Knight laughing himself to death!
