"Alright, I don't have a choice, after all!"
Chung Shen-soo made a helpless expression.
This scene made Julie secretly heave a sigh of relief. She had originally thought that she would need to persuade him, but she never expected him to be so open-minded.
However, she had no choice but to say it. Otherwise, once he became more knowledgeable in mysticism, he would learn of it sooner or later.
Rather than having a grudge then, it was better to open up now. "To mystics, the choice of a path is very important, but that's only for high-level Beyonders. In fact, to most Beyonders, it's not too important …"
She consoled him and continued to disseminate mysticism knowledge to Chung Shen-soo.
"There's no direction in the spirit world. You might feel like you're walking forward, but you might actually be going backwards, turning left, or eventually turning right … The deeper you explore, the more fragmented and blurry time might become … Therefore, ordinary exploration methods are completely useless.
"The only thing that works is a powerful spirituality. It can provide us with stronger stamina and vision in the spirit world … Apart from that, some schools of thought have secretly created some keys that can provide guidance to explorers in the spirit world, guiding them to the Six Great Waymarks. That is the greatest help they can provide to future generations …
"The mysterious people who pass through the pitch-black door are known as Beyonders.
"And the mysterious people who pass through the White Wilderness are known as Transcendents. They are good at using nameless arts … Well, we typically don't call ourselves mysterious people, but cultivators of nameless arts!"
"Nameless arts?" Chung Shen-soo said, "That's a strange name!"
"Using spirituality to attract the response of the sea of spirituality to produce different effects is a nameless art … Nameless, the beginning of all things … Spirituality is chaotic and disorderly. Even the same art will have different effects when cast by different people."
"Therefore, the cultivation of nameless arts is extremely dangerous. Even with a guide, it's difficult to control."
"Beyonders mainly use their spirituality, while Transcendents can not only use their spirituality, but they can also resonate with the spirit world and cast all kinds of nameless arts. This is the greatest difference and symbol!"
Julie solemnly reminded him, "Passing through the White Wilderness will bring you to the Crimson River. Once you successfully swim across … you will be an Ascender, Sublimator! It symbolizes the sublimation of the soul. "
"After that is the Tower of Glory, also known as the Tower of Gold, the Tower of Gold! Those who climbed to the peak were the 'Perfectionists'! They are also known as the Glorious One! "
"After ascending the tower, you will have to face the trial of the heavens, also known as' passing through the Gate of Longevity '. Those who survive are' Immortals' and can obtain an extremely long life."
"Finally, through the Ascension Ritual, they ascend from the Ascension Altar and reach the Source … They are the true people who are close to God!"
"The latter three realms are mostly legends. In fact, I'm not too sure …" Julie said, "Although Beyonders, Transcendents, and Upgraded possess all sorts of magical powers, they still have all sorts of weaknesses. They can even be defeated by artillery and firearms … As for Perfected, there are no such weaknesses."
"Extraordinaire, Transcendent, Ascendant, Perfected, Immortal, Ascendant (Near God) … A total of six levels?"
Chung Shen-soo nodded. He finally understood the mysterious levels of this world.
"In fact, there are only five. 'Immortals' only exist in legends. Once they ascend to the Source, it is impossible for them to return to our world," Julie said.
'That's right … Maybe he's eaten as a snack. Anyway, I don't think those great beings would share their authority and status, even if it's just a symbol … They wouldn't be so kind as to promote a junior out of kindness …'
Chung Shen-soo secretly rolled his eyes.
"All methods are to reach the Source … What I said above is only the mainstream view. There are some special methods. For example, the followers of the Master of Black Blood believe in a rumor. They believe that if they can find the legendary 'Holy Grail' and use it to brew the 'Blood of Longevity', even an ordinary person will immediately obtain immortality after drinking it."
Julie added at the end. It seemed to be comforting and tempting at the same time.
'Are you telling me that although it is a discounted item, it might also contain a surprise package? Reaching the sky in a single bound? Hehe … '
Chung Shen-soo rolled his eyes and said, "Drinking the Blood of Longevity and directly becoming an Immortal? I think … from an ordinary person to crossing the five great waymarks in one go, can your body and mind bear it? "
"You are very rational." Julie was very pleased. "That's right … I also think that exploring step by step and slowly changing is the best way to maintain our humanity and rationality … This kind of violent advancement is like honey wrapped in poison. It contains unimaginable risks!"
"Alright, then next, will you teach me how to pass through the pitch-black door and become a true Beyonder?"
Chung Shen-soo let out a long breath and asked solemnly.
"I think you are not in good condition right now. What you need is a good rest … Hmm, and continue learning the knowledge of the 'Blood of Transmutation'. You can buy some rare materials from me. I will give you a discount!"
Julie blinked her eyes.
'I can see that she has at least a channel or a mysterious circle behind her …'
Chung Shen-soo still said, "What if I insist?"
"200 USD, and you will get advanced knowledge!" Julie sighed. "But I don't suggest you try to pass through the Dark Door immediately … Although a truly talented person can open the door purely by relying on their own spirituality, it is still full of risks!"
"I know, I just don't want to put my vital parts in the hands of others …" Chung Shen-soo said bluntly. He directly took out a stack of notes from the drawer and handed it over.
Julie took it and counted. She couldn't help but want to whistle. 'Opening a bar is really a profitable business! Okay, okay … I was just kidding. '
She took the pen on the table and asked for a post-it note. Then, she began to write a cocktail recipe.
"200 grams of absinthe, three drops of rosemary essential oil, fresh dew …"
"Mixing method: …"
"Absinthe, it is known as the Witch's Wine. There is a historical reason for this, and this cocktail is known as' Sacrifice to Darkness' … That's right, it is also a ritual that can help you open the Dark Door. Of course … the premise is that you first have to walk to the door."
"Take note, this cocktail is not for drinking. It can be brought into the spirit world as a sacrifice to open the Dark Door …"
Chung Shen-soo nodded and put away the note. With just a glance, he memorized the recipe. "Looks like … there are many ways to pass through the Dark Door. Are these also the secret teachings of different schools?"
"That's right. Some of them use resonance, some use spirit dance …"
Julie said, "But as long as you pass through, no matter what method you use, you are an Extraordinary!"
