Chapter 104: Non-human Existence (Added chapter for 200 average subscriptions)

The real world.

Bedroom.

Aaron's Spirit Body emerged quietly, scanning the surroundings, and discovered that the two candles representing the Ritual were still burning.

"As expected... every time I enter the Dream Realm, the appearance location is different, but the return location is always where my body is..."

"There should be a risk of getting lost in this, and it is difficult to rely on reality for positioning while in the Dream Realm; there is no one-to-one correspondence."

"Therefore, mastering special Spirit World positioning techniques is very useful for exploring the Dream Realm, and perhaps I should add special Spirit World timing techniques..."

These items, rich in pure Spirituality, are the best materials for making Talismans and Magical Items.

Amidst the blood-stained stones, a phantom of a giant bird with flaming wings emerged, suddenly exploded, and vanished.

The scrap metal he has on hand, even if added all together, would likely not produce a Magical Item much more powerful than a Zoulun pistol.

Aaron looked at those Spirit Materials carrying mental pollution, and according to the Mysterious channels of the Ritual, he poured in wisps of Mysterious energy and began the 'Purification'.

A white light appeared, sweeping over like a tide, enveloping all the items in the Ritual.

On the parchment, a translucent human face gradually emerged, changing from blank to ferocious... but in the end, it gradually became illusory and disappeared completely.

Generally speaking, no Extraordinary of the Third Primordial Substance can rival a Non-human Grade powerhouse, unless... they possess an extremely powerful Magical Item or Talisman!

"Self-improvement is slow; I can only rely on external objects for now..."

But they have another, more important use for Aaron, which is—they can absorb Spirituality to directly increase his own foundation!

Aaron couldn't help but feel a bit excited: "These spiritual items should be able to save me several months of accumulation; I will be able to advance to 'Light Shepherd' very soon..."

Aaron's eyes became dark and gloomy.

Because most Extraordinaries of the Fourth Primordial Substance are accompanied by a transformation of their life form, they often have another name—Non-human Existence!

One step taken, and one is no longer a mortal!

"So, without harming myself, is the only way to rapidly increase my strength in the short term to obtain a powerful 'Strange Object'?"

"Spirituality can be devoured and plundered from one another... Extraordinaries can plunder other Extraordinaries, and can likewise absorb it from spiritual items!"

Just this appearance alone shows that it is worth a fortune!

"Mr. 'Beast' made a losing deal."

This is a shortcut, but if the mental pollution is not separated beforehand, one will inevitably absorb the pollution along with it; schizophrenia would be the best outcome.

Those items all floated up.

According to Clark Das's description, the Fourth Primordial Substance—【Vitality】 is a major threshold.

"Of course, the opening of the Second Primordial Substance still requires the cooperation of some materials and a Ritual... but it shouldn't be too hard to find."

"The amount of Spirituality that surged at once is too much... my body can't quite bear it; I need time to slowly digest and adapt..."

Aaron remembers that Lin, who was equivalent to the Third Primordial Substance at the time, relied solely on a 'Flesh Scepter' to rival and later even kill the 'High Priest' who was equivalent to having opened the Fourth Primordial Substance.

Aaron wiped his nose and found no nosebleed, so he nodded: "For now, it's acceptable... in ten days at the shortest, half a month at the longest, I can advance to become a 'Light Shepherd'."

At the same time, inside the translucent stone, a bit of 'Yao' Spirituality was triggered and entered his body.

As a fake 'Immortal' who enjoys a Great Ming in history and carries many secrets, Aaron has to bear a lot of pressure.

For example, the attitude of the Extraordinary world toward him after his identity as the Green Forest Earl is exposed!

"Furthermore, I'm afraid that even if I make it, the effect won't be satisfactory... unless I obtain powerful materials!"

In Aaron's eyes, two bean-sized white sparks seemed to be burning.

An Extraordinary who reaches this rank has had their life Vitality astonishingly strengthened; they are not very afraid of the damage from modern weapons and possess powerful strength. In the current Mysterious world, they are already a big shot.

"The attempt is over; it's time to do serious business."

No dreams for the night.

"And even if I open the Second or even Third Primordial Substance... it is still too weak relative to my problems..."

"First Primordial Substance 【Foundation】, Second Primordial Substance 【Stability】, Third Primordial Substance 【Sublimation】! My path requires opening the Third Primordial Substance to be able to make permanent Magical Items..."

On the iron sheet, wisps of dark red rust directly melted and dripped off...

"As expected, the mental pollution on the stone comes from an extraordinary creature, while the pollution on the parchment comes from an Extraordinary?"

Aaron picked up a translucent stone, a smile appearing on his face.

"Space-time disorder? Such a Spirit World might be better called—the Dream Realm."

"This feeling is about the same as doing a 'Radiance Method' Meditation, and one stone can support about ten absorptions..."

This gives him a very insecure feeling; he must improve as quickly as possible. Only after having the strength to protect himself can he barely feel at ease.

This is quite rare.

At the same time, he held a transparent stone in his hand, and wisps of radiance continuously filled his body.

Aaron yawned, cleaned up all the traces of the Ritual in the bedroom, lay on the bed, and entered an excellent state of sleep.

The next morning, Aaron woke up on time and accumulated a wisp of Spirituality again in the morning radiance.

Wanting to make a Strange Object of the level of the 'Flesh Scepter' is simply wishful thinking.

They became translucent, and pure white flames seemed to be burning inside.

"But for me, there is no shortcut to reaching the sky in terms of Primordial Substance level... I cannot offer Prayer to the Sovereigns..."

The iron sheet's luster became restrained, the charred parts of the parchment disappeared, and the biggest change was in those few blood-stained stones.

"This needs to wait for an opportunity... or, go fleece some Sovereign?"

This caused Aaron's burden to increase suddenly; his head felt dizzy, a hot current seemed to appear in his nose, and even faint hallucinations appeared before his eyes.

"However, even items have pollution; directly devouring other Extraordinaries, even if strictly following the Ritual requirements, I'm afraid there will be hidden dangers of madness and personality fragmentation..."

Aaron's Spirit Body returned, ending the Ritual, and he looked at those brand-new Spirit Materials.

He washed up briefly, came to the dining room, and while reading the newspaper, tasted the breakfast carefully prepared by Sylvia.

Glancing at Sylvia's busy back, Aaron thought of other matters in his heart:

"My connections in the Mysterious world should be expanded; I cannot always rely on Clark Das alone..."

"Besides that, I have been renting here for a while; neighbors might come to visit or invite me to banquets, and this is the beginning of integrating into the circle... I must make sufficient preparations."
