Compared to the naive Silver Mages and the growing Golden Mages, the Holy Sanctuary Mages of the Distant Realm undoubtedly possess a broader perspective.
Neither the recent tremor affecting the Void Realm nor the enormous golden bubble before them are effects that a Legendary Mage could cause. In other words, they are witnessing a great Wonder that changes the landscape of the Void Realm!
At this moment, new bubbles began to appear one after another, but all Holy Sanctuary Mages focused only on the golden bubble. Ash and his companions were no exception. As they attempted to fly toward the golden bubble, despite being a vast distance away, they instantly arrived inside the bubble.
However, unlike the giant exterior of the bubble, Ash and his companions entered a hall of normal size, its interior decor was very rough, resembling concrete walls, and even a cave would appear more exquisite.
The experienced explorers of bubbles immediately realized they had issues—all Technique Spirits couldn't be utilized, Magic Power was prohibited, and the Holy Sanctuary couldn't be raised!
Trying to escape the Void Realm, equally ineffective!
Ash and Weiser were relatively used to it, especially Ash, who was almost accustomed to being sealed. Sonia and Diya faced this situation for the first time, the panic and helplessness from losing their powers gripped their hearts, making it hard to breathe, instinctively grabbing Ash's hand from both sides.
"Don't worry, we're in this together."
Ash's calm voice soothed their inner anxiety, "Besides, if this is truly a death trap, then hundreds to thousands of Holy Domain Mages would die with us; it's quite a spectacular way to die."
"At least, we die together."
Sonia took a deep breath, "I don't want to die with you!"
Diya was so anxious that her hair color was about to change, "Can't we not die?"
Weiser glanced at them and stepped back to maintain a social distance, suddenly said, "Check your soul."
Ash and his companions observed their souls and discovered that a new Technique Spirit was forming in their souls. The Spirit had only one wing and resembled a Mage, but was entirely black like ink, appearing as an unformed mud lump.
Information about this Technique Spirit quickly flowed into Ash and the others' minds: 'Initial Soul' Technique Spirit!
This is the Technique Spirit of the Soul Faction!
Ash and his companions were extremely shocked—although the Soul Faction isn't as mysterious as prophecy, truth, and fate, very few mages can practice the Soul Faction, for it is magic humans cannot learn!
It was previously mentioned that each race has its unique magic advantage: Ogre's Gluttony and Truth Faction, Beastman's Space Faction, Meiwa's Spirit Faction, while Goblins, although difficult to become mages, once they become mage, their talents would soar suddenly… The Soul Faction is the exclusive magic advantage of the Elf!
Furthermore, not every Elf can learn the Soul Faction, only Elves have a certain chance to awaken the Soul Faction!
Throughout three kingdoms, Ash finds only one in the Kingdom of Gospel who successfully cultivates the Soul Faction: Holy Sanctuary Mage Qinna Senheiser!
Some may believe the Spirit Faction and Soul Faction are the same, but the Spirit Faction studies thoughts, will, and emotions, whereas the Soul Faction deals with the soul itself. The Spirit Faction studies practical combat skills while the Soul Faction studies body structure.
What does it mean now that their souls have suddenly generated the Initial Soul Technique Spirit? Have their souls ascended to the Silver Realm?
However, the Initial Soul Technique Spirit suddenly dispersed black fog, dyeing their souls black! At the same time, information entered their minds—
"Welcome to Dream Heaven, I am the thirteenth owner here, Ghost Prophet. Although Dream Heaven is already shattered, it still serves as a place of inheritance."
"Upon entering Dream Heaven, it is considered participation in the Ghost Trials. Inside the heaven, all Technique Spirits and Magic Power are forbidden, except for the Initial Soul Technique Spirit generated from your souls."
"All trialists who pass can inherit all my secret treasures."
"Good luck to you all."
Ash and his group barely processed the information when smoke boiled inside the hall, and then a dozen fierce-looking Soul Hounds emerged. The first challenge of the Ghost Trials was clearly to kill all these hounds!
Sonia felt something, although it was her first encounter with the Soul Faction, she quickly understood how to use the Initial Soul Technique Spirit, aimed at a hound from a distance and slashed out a bright blue Soul Blade!
Diya's hair color was chaotic, clearly, the Witch sisters were working together, they also understood how to use the Initial Soul Technique Spirit, their bodies suddenly covered in light violet gauze, accelerating speed and directly plunging into the hound group and attacking madly!
Weiser did not rush forward; she shot a bit of green light from her fingertip, hitting a hound about to reach her, and in the next second, the hound turned and attacked other hounds!
The same Technique Spirit, yet three different effects from three individuals! The Sword Maiden's effect is Sword Qi wave, the Witch's effect is increased body speed, Weiser's effect is controlling creatures!
This is the enigma of the Initial Soul Technique Spirit—it completely conforms to the mage's intentions, whatever effect the mage desires, that is the effect of the Initial Soul Technique Spirit, it's practically universal!
Yet, this is not without cost; once they killed half the hounds, Ash called them back to stop. The bodies of the Sword Maiden and Witch had turned transparent, and Weiser was even more serious, transparent enough to see through!
The Initial Soul Technique Spirit doesn't consume Magic Power, it consumes the mage's soul!
If a mage indulges in the powerful versatility of the Initial Soul Technique Spirit, they can easily deplete their soul, and afterward, a casual bite from a hound could result in complete death, unable to return a trace of soul to their body!
Sonia and others also realized the severity of this matter, their expressions stern: "But we can't use other Technique Spirits now; we must improve precision in attacks——"
"Actually, there's no need to panic, you moved so fast earlier that I forgot to tell you…"
Ash floated out three collections in his hand, respectively increasing attack speed and power of consecutive attacks "Silver Collection: Sword Wing Badge," causing each effective attack to stun the enemy temporarily "Gold Collection: Dizzy Hammer," and slowing the speed of all enemies within view "Colorful Collection: Lord of Wind, Rain, and Snow's Gaze."
"…It seems collections work here as well."

On Ruby Mountain, all mages stared toward the far-off mountaintop.
Just as Silver Mages know that golden fish are a shortcut to stowaway to the Time Continent, Golden Mages know that Seven-colored Tail can help them stowaway to the Distant Realm, Holy Sanctuary Mages look up and can see Ruby Mountain afar, Legendary Mages naturally know a higher shortcut—the Angel at the mountaintop of Ruby Mountain!
Legend has it that at the mountaintop of Ruby Mountain there is an Angel, find it, and it will take mages to the fifth layer of the Void Realm, shedding worldliness and achieving eternal Demigod!
However, everyone knows it, yet basically, no one can achieve it. A legend remains a legend, no one has ever reached the mountaintop.
Because, Ruby Mountain is infinitely vast, no matter how a Legendary Mage ascends, they never reach the summit, even the more they walk, the further the summit seems.
Once there was a Legendary Mage using various miracles to restore soul energy, climbing Ruby Mountain continuously for a whole year, yet could not reach the summit, dying from exhaustion when the miracle time ended.
But regarding whether there is an Angel on the mountaintop, Legendary Mages have almost unanimous opinion: the Angel exists. More than one mage has seen, at the top of Ruby Mountain, indeed a figure appeared.
And now, practically all Legendary Mages logged into the Void Realm can see the six-winged figure atop Ruby Mountain.
Definitely not an Angel, even a Demigod Angel has at most five wings.
And six wings, there is only one kind of existence—
"I see, the Blank Concept was destroyed, so you reveal our hidden legacies to gather the collective will of mages. Every mage obtaining the legacy can imprint their desires onto the Blank Concept, eventually consolidating all desires, forming new Laws…"
The pleasant yet clear voice seemed to resound from every corner of Ruby Mountain, Legendary Mages listened carefully, not daring to breathe heavily, unsure who the six-winged figure was speaking to.
But the six-winged figure soon concluded the conversation, it lowered its head slightly, everyone felt it was watching them, and the terrifying pressure almost bent the spines of the Legendaries.
"I am the remnant will of Thousand Wishes Phantom Master, now temporarily using Ruby Mountain as a place of inheritance; mages wishing to obtain the legacy, climb the mountaintop, and seize the 'Heart's Desire.'
"But the main body died in haste back then, failing to set complete inheritance, thus the legacy contains no Technique Spirit treasury, no magical knowledge, nor any Divine Being."
"The only inheritance you can obtain, the only—"
"Is my Heavenly Kingdom."
