Chapter 131: Between Realms Desolate Desert, near the Pure White Salt Lands. Behind a certain sand dune, four towering Shield Guards stood watch in front of a tent. [Spiritual Essence accumulated 15000, Spirituality +1, current Spirituality 16] [Gained Attribute Points +1, Skill Points +1] Carlos, who’d been resting with his eyes closed, immediately snapped them open. Going through the usual routine: Strength +1, Skeleton Revival +1. Walking out of the tent, he pulled out a corpse: "Skeleton Revival!" The twenty-eighth skeleton soldier came to life! "Take this guy to go farm monsters!" After giving two Shield Guards this task, Carlos headed back into the tent to keep resting. In the distance across the Pure White Salt Lands, the slaughter kept going. [Spiritual Essence +1.8] [Spiritual Essence +1.9] [...] ... Several hours of non-stop killing gradually wound down. Until no more spiritual essence notifications popped up in his mind. Carlos started checking how much spiritual essence he’d racked up. Spiritual Essence: 8135/16000. He was already more than halfway to the next upgrade. "Whoosh!" Wings spread wide, Carlos immediately took flight toward the Pure White Salt Lands... By now on the battlefield, only the towering figures of the Shield Guards remained. The three Psionics had taken off in a hurry once the monster numbers couldn’t form a proper encirclement anymore. Before leaving, they made sure to tearfully say goodbye to the four skeleton bros. This really improved Carlos’s opinion of them. "Pack up all the salt sand from these monster corpses!" Carlos tossed out bundles of bags, giving the Shield Guards who’d finished fighting something new to do. This salt sand would come in real handy when taking on the last and most powerful dark mist node in the Desolate Desert! "After you get everything collected, everyone takes a day to rest up!" After all that high-intensity killing, the Shield Guards had taken various amounts of damage to their health. Since the process of resonating with the Sun Emperor’s Sword in the spirit realm might set off spirit realm creature riots, Carlos figured he’d better wait until everyone was back to full strength before heading out! ... The next day, all the salt sand was packed away. Twenty-seven Shield Guards had completely recovered too. Carlos was pumped as the Crimson-Gold Feathered Serpent Wings behind him started flapping: "Sun Emperor’s Sword! Here I come!" He eagerly shot into the sky and charged back into the Pure White Salt Lands... This time everything went smooth as silk with no trouble along the way. Soon enough, Carlos reached a solid salt formation deep within the Pure White Salt Lands. Compared to the loose salt gravel on the outskirts, this place had massive salt stones, like some force had been constantly compressing the salt gravel into solid blocks. "This is the weak spot for communicating with the spirit realm!" Carlos didn’t rush to draw the resonance array. Instead, he first called up all the Shield Guards. He picked out twelve Redrose Shield Guards and had them take positions at specific spots within this special area. Then Carlos pulled out a bunch of jars and handed them to the other Shield Guards, having them pour the contents over the Redrose Shield Guards. ... Streams of semi-transparent liquid got poured over the Redrose Shield Guards’ heads, quickly spreading to cover their entire skeletal bodies. Once the pouring was done, the Redrose Shield Guards in the special positions started going through weird changes. Their bone bodies, including greatswords and giant shields, actually began turning semi-transparent, faintly starting to slip into the spirit realm! Carlos nodded—the spirit realm secret liquid had done exactly what he’d hoped. Now the Redrose Shield Guards could enter the boundary zone between spirit and material realms before the spirit realm secret liquid wore off. In this resonance ceremony, the Redrose Shield Guards served double duty as both array nodes and barriers to keep spirit realm creatures from wrecking everything. Then Carlos personally poured spirit realm secret liquid to connect the Redrose Shield Guard nodes one by one. Soon the resonance array was good to go. Next, Carlos positioned himself at the heart of the resonance array. But he didn’t put spirit realm secret liquid on himself, because the Dawn Flame inside his body had to work as an anchor point for the material realm. If he used spirit realm secret liquid, he’d probably end up getting dragged into the spirit realm instead of summoning the Sun Emperor’s Sword. "You guys guard the perimeter—don’t let any monsters or people break in!" The remaining Shield Guards all followed orders and started setting up defenses around the resonance secret array. This would stop anyone from barging in and screwing up the ceremony. With everything ready to go, Carlos began firing up the resonance secret array. Semi-transparent patterns disappeared one by one, and the twelve Redrose Shield Guards also vanished from the material realm. From the outside, only Carlos stood there by himself. "Perfect, first step’s a success!" Carlos focused hard. In his soul vision, the resonance secret array hadn’t disappeared, and neither had the twelve Redrose Shield Guards. They’d simply dropped into the boundary zone between material and spirit realms. "Second step! Start the resonance!" Carlos’s thoughts shifted. In an instant, psionic energy swirled through his body. A crimson flame erupted with terrible heat that scorched the air. The unique aura belonging to Dawn Flame started spreading and got continuously gathered by the resonance secret array. When enough aura had built up, the resonance array suddenly blazed with light as Dawn Flame’s aura punched through the spirit realm’s outer membrane and entered the spirit realm. Then the aura spread rapidly like ripples toward the spirit realm’s depths... Time ticked by minute by minute, but nothing happened. Carlos wasn’t getting discouraged. The odds of resonating with the Sun Emperor’s Sword on the first shot really weren’t that great. He’d prepared for this before starting. If once didn’t work, then twice. If twice didn’t work, then three or four times. Eventually Dawn Flame’s aura would get picked up by the Sun Emperor’s Sword. "Keep going!" The resonance secret array began sending Dawn Flame’s aura for the second time. Third time... Fourth time... ... Eleventh time... Suddenly, there was trouble stirring on the spirit realm side. At the edges of the outer membrane, strange black shadows were actually gathering. "Just like I thought—this still attracted spirit realm creatures." Carlos had seen this coming. After the resonance array sent out aura so many times, it was bound to get the attention of spirit realm creatures. "Scratch!" Dense, harsh membrane-tearing sounds rang out. That group of black shadows in the spirit realm suddenly punched through the spirit realm’s outer membrane and broke into the boundary zone. Their appearances were revealed—they were actually semi-transparent humanoid monsters! All different heights and builds, some stocky, some skinny. Bald heads with no facial features at all! Absolutely horrifying! Seeing these monsters show up, Carlos wasn’t worried: "Faceless monsters—one of the common monsters in the spirit realm. Their spirituality is usually below 1." With spirituality that low, they were about on par with ordinary humans in the material realm.
