'If I refuse directly, will this girl go crazy?'
Chung Shen-soo looked at the confident Julie, and a trace of mockery flashed through his heart.
Fortunately, he was not such a prankster. Thinking of how hard it had been for her to act, he played along. "Of course, why not? I want to make more complicated, more magical drinks … This is a temptation that no bartender can resist. "
"Very good!"
Julie looked outside the door, and after confirming that there were no eavesdroppers, she nodded, raised her hand, and chanted a few syllables.
* Whoosh whoosh! *
It was as if a breeze had blown past.
Chung Shen-soo suddenly felt a spiritual wall appear around him. It did not have any destructive power, and could only block out some sounds.
"Then, I will explain to you the concept of extraordinary and mysterious …"
Julie adjusted her body into a more comfortable sitting position, and seemed to be organizing her words. "First … the foundation of extraordinary lies in spirituality, and my school, I will not tell you the name of my school, believes that everyone has spirituality, but there are differences in strength. This is the theory that all things have spirituality … Those with strong enough spirituality are qualified to come into contact with the spiritual world!"
"The spiritual world?!" Chung Shen-soo's timely question made Julie feel even better.
"The spiritual world is also known as the sea of spirituality. In the philosophy of many schools of mystery, it is believed to be the source of all spirituality, the collection of all mysterious concepts. It drifts away from the physical world that we exist in, but there are traces of overlap … To come into contact with the spiritual world requires strict training and rituals.
However, some talented people might come into contact with the spiritual world in their dreams, when they are dying, or when they are drunk. They haven't gone through systematic learning, so they don't know the hidden dangers behind some symbols and mysterious symbols. Often, they will cause some big trouble … "
Julie sighed.
"Drunk? So the Confederation banned alcohol because of this? "Chung Shen-soo suddenly thought of the bandit boss who had become a nest of moths.
"Yes, all greatness belongs to the spiritual world, all mysteries belong to the spiritual world, it is the source of everything! Moreover, in different schools, it has different names, such as World Shadow, Inner World, Dreamlands, Wild Constellation, Sea of Origin, and so on … "
"All spells and mysteries originate from the Spiritual Realm, and everything in the Spiritual Realm originates from its deepest source! Therefore, all Beyonders and mysticism schools of thought take the same path. That is to roam the spirit world and constantly approach the source! "
"We believe that as long as we can reach the Sea of Origin, we can instantly become an incomparably powerful existence and obtain eternal life!"
Zhu Li continued.
Chung Shen-soo's expression changed. "I seem to have seen similar records in some religious books. Gods live high up in the Astral World …"
Julie glanced at him. "The Astral Realm is also another name for the Sea of Origin. Some schools of thought believe that the Arbiter of Fate, the Seven Monarchs, the Damo, the Lord of the Moth, the Lord of the Black Blood … these existences are the source of all mysteries, and together they form the concept of 'Origin'. Some schools of thought believe that they have reached the 'Origin', which is why they are so powerful … The only common point is that these existences must be located at the 'Origin'! They possess powers that we can't even imagine. Even the mere mention of their true names will cause a surge of power. "
"But … you said it."
Chung Shen-soo interrupted.
"The Arbiter of Fate, the Seven Monarchs … are not the true names of the great existences that are located at the Origin. They can't even be summarized by the concept of God … The physiological structure of humans may not even be able to call out such great names … The widely circulated titles are just honorific names imposed on them by later generations, more like nicknames!"
Julie explained.
"So that's how it is. It's just like how Scar Face isn't actually called Scar Face. His real name is Mormont!" Chung Shen-soo nodded.
"The true names of the great existences possess power. As long as they are recited, there will be a response! And the books that truly record the true names of the gods must be the most powerful and terrifying Black Magic techniques. If you encounter them, you must be careful … "Julie's expression was one of fear.
"I understand now …" Chung Shen-soo changed the topic at the right time. "All mysteries and spells originate from the Spiritual Realm, and the many great existences together form the Origin of the Spiritual Realm. Therefore, the advancement of the Mysterious Side is all to reach the Origin?"
"Your ability to understand is not bad. That's exactly the case. Different schools have different methods and paths, but all the goals, in the end, are to reach the Origin." Julie gave an affirmative answer. "For example, my school believes that all things have spirits. To become an Extraordinary, one must go against the Tree of Life and sublimate in the opposite direction to become a hominoid!"
"Although there are many ways to sublimate, after a long period of evolution and experimentation, most of the Mystery Sects have reached a consensus, or should I say mainstream … The Unknowns roam the Spiritual Realm as a symbol, and the more common way to distinguish them is to use the six major geographical landmarks in the Spiritual Realm as a standard …"
"Landmarks in the Spiritual Realm?" Chung Shen-soo said in surprise.
A road sign was probably something similar to a road sign.
"What do you think the Spiritual Realm is? It's all-encompassing and bizarre. You'll never be able to imagine the magnificence inside … Moreover, it has projections and abstract concepts of the real world, so it's constantly evolving and being updated. There have always been ruins of human buildings in it. A few hundred years ago, it might have been an ancient castle, but now, it might have become a steam train station … "
Julie rolled her eyes at Chung Shen-soo. "A large number of scholars have finally discovered the only constant six major buildings in the Spiritual Realm, or should I say, landmarks, natural wonders … They're located in different dimensions of the Spiritual Realm, and can be used as the standard for Extraordinary exploration. They are the Black Door, the White Wilderness, the Crimson River, the Golden Tower, the Trial of the Heavens, and finally, the Ascension Altar!
"Among them, most mysticism enthusiasts can only explore the shallowest periphery of the Spiritual Realm. They're the same as those who accidentally enter the Spiritual Realm because of drunkenness or dreams. They can't even reach the first landmark — the Black Door … Only by passing through the Black Door can one be considered to have truly entered the Spiritual Realm. We call such people 'Extraordinary'. Their symbol is that they can sense their own spirituality and use it …"
"So … the door recorded at the end of the notebook?"
Chung Shen-soo asked thoughtfully.
"That's right, that's the Extraordinary Door, the Extraordinary Door, and also the first landmark of the Spiritual Realm, the Black Door!"
Julie explained in a reverent tone, "There's no way to pass through the Black Door in the Blood of Transmutation, but I know. I'll slowly teach you how to find it and pass through it … Of course, I won't use my school's theories."
