Under the light, Moran wiped his glasses.

"I want to explain directly to you the concept of the path to sublimation, but before that, I have to confirm whether you have some necessary knowledge. First, do you understand the spiritual world?"

"Another world that coexists with the world of representation, is right next to us, but cannot be perceived by the flesh."

"No problem, but this is a very general explanation. There are many names in the spiritual world, the inner world, the virtual world, the light world, and the other names are just code names. In essence, it is no different from the surface world, and it is also composed of matter and energy.

"This is the first time I have heard this."

"Oh, this is normal. Everyone has a different perspective on understanding the world. Let's continue to talk about the inner world. It is also composed of matter and energy, but we cannot see it through our eyes, hear it, and cannot touch these energy and matter. There is only one way to perceive them, that is, to travel through the medium of ether and touch them with our soul."

"ether?"

"Yes, Ether. Let me explain this term to you. This is a general term for the medium that allows you to contact the spiritual world. The path of sublimation is actually Ether. To be precise, it is the appearance of Ether under the observation of your soul. You travel through Ether, that is, you travel through the path of sublimation. When your soul successfully contacts the spiritual world, you complete the sublimation."

"I get it." Lei nodded, "but I don't know why everyone's path to sublimation will be different?"

Moran explained: "Ether is not an inherent substance, it is just a general term for the spiritual medium, so everyone's path to sublimation is different and the end point is also different."

"So that's how it is."

"It seems you have understood the concept of the path of sublimation." Moran looked at Lei, "Then I wonder if you have drawn a beacon before you enter the path of sublimation?"

Beacon is another new term unfamiliar to Thunder. He half guessed and half-blindly replied: "I drew the array diagram with blood and wrote a blood curse related to moonlight."

"That's it!" Moran smiled, "It seems that you have a beacon, which will make you less trouble."

The word beacon can already make people deduce its meaning, but Lei asked: "What is the use of beacon?"

"If you don't have a beacon, your path to sublimation will be uncertain. It will lead you to an unknown place, perhaps full of opportunities, and more likely to be full of crises." Moran said, "When you have a beacon, it will lead you to a certain path. At the end of this path, you will most likely find your soul shelter. This is why spiritualists value inheritance. Without the protection of shelter, you will not be able to move forward in the spiritual world, and it will be difficult to save your life. Take the liberty to ask, is the person who teaches you beacon reliable?"

"A respected alchemy master," Lei replied.

"Then why..." Moran was puzzled. How could an alchemy master put his disciples in danger?

"He passed away."

"I'm so sorry... let's go back to the previous topic. I have to say that you have good luck and a reliable beacon will give you a lot of convenience after sublimation."

"The premise is that I have to pass the path of sublimation." Lei glanced at the wooden barrel in the corner of the bedroom again, "That almost killed me."

"Yes, when a weak soul leaves the protection of the body and enters the ether, it becomes the best food for malicious intentions and evil thoughts. This is the source of danger." Moran looked at Lei: "I'm actually very curious. The evil thoughts entangled around you are enough to make people crazy, and even make you lose control and become a body of evil thoughts. You can stay awake. It's really amazing willpower."

"Maybe, I have a talent that I don't know."

"No wonder you were accepted as a disciple by a master." Moran exclaimed, "Can you briefly describe the evil thoughts you encountered in the path of sublimation?"

Lei described his dream.

Finally, he said: "At the last moment, I saw the shadow behind me, as if it was my teacher."

"I don't think he has any reason to harm you." Molan frowned. "Have he ever sent you something special or something with you?"

Lei pondered for a while and took out the brass brooch again.

"Do you mind showing me?" Moran put on glasses.

Lei handed over the brooch.

Moran looked at the lights carefully for a while.

"No wonder..."

"What did you find?"

"The soul of the extraordinary person is powerful, and even after death, he will have some consciousness." Moran returned the brooch to Lei, "This is an extraordinary item, he has been protecting you."

Lei took the brooch and Hepburn looked in his mind.

"There is no doubt anymore. Go through your sublimation path now." Moran stood up, "I will teach you to light the fire. The spiritual light is enough to resist those evil thoughts, but the soul is not an inexhaustible gas lamp. You have to hurry up."

"What should I do?" Lei asked.

"You have to relax and come here to lie down."

Moran moved away and exposed the newly tidied bed.

Lei Yiyan lay down.

Moran said: "What you want to do next is an ordinary and great thing, don't be nervous or take it lightly."

"Pick up your knees, like a baby in the mother's womb."

Lei naturally made the action Moran described.

"Don't use force deliberately."

"Forget everything about you, your experiences, your perceptions."

"You are a blank seed buried in the dark soil."

"There is no time, everything will return to silence."

...

Moran's whisper was with some strange power, and Lei's mind gradually became blank, but his head was very warm.

"You accumulate strength in wind, rain, thunder and lightning."

"You accumulate strength in the alternation of the four seasons."

"You are getting hotter."

“Resurrection.”

"Puncture the soil."

...

Lei stood up, his body emitted a flaming glow...

In front of me was a gloomy and quiet forest, with twisted branches squirming silently, countless whispers and shadows circling towards him, touching his spiritual fire, and then squeaking back to the darkness.

Lei lowered his head and spread his hands. The light green flames rose and evaporated like smoke. He felt like he was burning quickly like a candle. Although he could not feel any pain, he had a strange intuition that the soul he knew would not last long.

At this moment, there was another sound of footsteps like malfunctioning feet behind him, like tattered boots stomping in the swamp, and a terrifying whisper rang out directly in his mind.

"Don't look back." At the same time, another whisper came.

Hepburn? Lei suppressed his desire to turn around and walked forward. The vine-like vines hissed and crawled over with the letter, and was burned by the spiritual flames and escaped like a tide.

The ground was covered with mud, and he was struggling hard. Under the illumination of spiritual light, trees and rocks were making way for him. The branches gradually became sparse, revealing the dark void, and more huge shadows were attracted like sharks smelling blood.

Lei heard the terrifying biting sound from behind, and the footsteps that followed him became slower.

I don't know how long I have been away.

The surroundings were already very empty. Thunder walked out of the forest and was dark around him. He seemed to have arrived at a floating island located in the dead universe. At some point, marble bricks were covered with them. In front of him, an emerald door stood quietly.

Lei looked down and the light in his body was so dim that it was about to go out.

He took heavy steps and came to the emerald gate. The smooth door as smooth as a mirror reflected the scene behind him, and he saw twisted tentacles covering the sky and the sun.

"So many evil thoughts have been gathered?"

Lei An was secretly frightened, stretched out his hands and pushed towards the door with force. With a bang, a ray of light shone out from the crack of the door.

Lei's feet began to shake. In the reflection of the gate, countless gravels began to peel off and fall, and the tentacles that covered the sky also struggled to fall into the void. Lei felt that he was rising to an unknown place in the sky with the jade gate.

At this time, Lei turned his head and looked back. Just three steps behind him, a thin shadow stood on the marble brick.

The body was so broken that it was not shaped. The worm bit off his waist and ribs, and the tentacles broke his limbs. He carried countless evil things that were transformed by evil thoughts, but he remained motionless.

However, as the ground kept collapsing, the ground where his feet were rooted suddenly collapsed, and he fell into the void immediately.

Lei saw a familiar face Hepburn, and his painful and twisted look showed a sense of surprise and relief. His lips opened and closed, as if he was saying something silently.

After his eyes looked at the crack in the door. In the reflection of the emerald pupils, a gray-white tower was floating in the void.

Lei was in a trance, and the scene in front of him was coincidental.

The moment before leaving the hospital bed, Hepburn's deep eye socket looked out the window and murmured:

"Someone will eventually climb the tower."
