Chapter 32 Two Conversations
"I have to say, this is really surprising." Angelina took out a cigarette from the lady's purse, lit it with a match, and took a deep breath.

Di Renjie spread his hands, showing a helpless expression.

"Okay, I've finished talking about opening the door. Next, let's briefly talk about the next few stages." After smoking a small cigarette, Angelina finally calmed down and continued to explain:

"After opening the door and making the mental power resistant, the first-level apprentice will officially transform into a second-level mentor. During this process, there is still a certain chance that the real name will be promoted, but the real name Promotion is relatively random, it may not necessarily be promoted, and the direction of promotion is difficult to control. Of course, even so, there are still certain rules to follow."

"First, no matter how it changes, the words of the real name can only develop on the basis of the words of the previous stage, and will not suddenly cross from one field to another."

"Second, although the direction of change cannot be directly controlled, it will be affected by factors such as the transcendent's own will, ideas, knowledge, habits, and even beliefs. If you want to promote your real name in a certain direction, It’s better to learn more about it every day.”

"However, in general, it is not very common for the first level to be promoted to the second level. It is not very common for the words of the real name to change. The association believes that this is because the first level to the second level is relatively simple, so many supernatural beings accumulate at this stage. There is a lack of knowledge, awareness and development of one's own abilities, which is why such a result is produced."

Angelina paused for a moment after speaking for a long time, giving herself and Di Renjie a buffer time.

Di Renjie agrees with the association's idea, and he himself doesn't want to cross the threshold too early, because he feels that he still has many deficiencies in knowledge.

"After this is the second stage of Chaofan." Seeing that Di Renjie had almost digested it, Angelina continued:

"The second stage of transcendence is called mentor. At this stage, transcendents can show more powerful transcendence because their spiritual power can be released. At the same time, during the process of transcendence promotion, three afterglows of sublimation will be born. This means that you will have the qualifications to guide ordinary people into the extraordinary, so this stage is called a mentor."

"It turns out that this is why the afterglow of sublimation is so precious. It turns out that it only appears when a superhuman is promoted." Di Renjie said with a sense of enlightenment.

"When a transcendent person is promoted, his spiritual body emits a sublimated glow, and after the promotion is over, the leftover glow becomes the sublimated afterglow. We believe that this is the blessing of the eternal balance to those who explore the truth of the world." Anger Lina said seriously.

"Blessing?" Di Renjie heard an interesting word.

"Among the four extraordinary paths, Eternal Balance is the most benevolent and just one. As long as we continue to pursue and explore the world, we can obtain its blessings; the afterglow of sublimation brought by each promotion can allow us to lead some new companions to step on the on the path of truth."

"But the other ways are different. The superhumans of the bottomless abyss must go through a bloody ceremony to complete their promotion, which makes them in a situation that everyone is hostile to, no matter in the supernatural world or the real world; the pure white eyes , that is, the group of the Church of the Holy Spirit, the ordinary clergy are a little hypocritical, at least there is still a little human will left, but the real trouble is those seemingly poor ascetics who completely entrust their personal will on the gods , all use religious scriptures as their own code of conduct, which makes them lose their humanity while gaining extraordinary power."

"The way of Wanmen's Gate is rather special. The extraordinary people of this way are concentrated in the governments and military forces of various countries, because Wanmen's Gate must use the collective cognition of countless people to create a certain will and image, and then let it I keep fitting this image to obtain corresponding abilities, which are more typical of the god-born blood advocated by the royal families of various countries, and the chivalry advocated by the nobles and the military."

"The extraordinary road of this path is relatively easy to follow, and it is also easy to 'mass-manufacture', but the upper limit is low. Many countries can't even shape the fourth-level will corresponding to the throne. The recognition is getting lower and lower, so that the royal families of all countries have unified the standard corresponding to the throne from the fourth level to the third level. That is to say, in the Middle Ages, the title of king often corresponds to the fourth level of strength. At the third level, you can be king." Angelina smiled contemptuously.

Obviously, the Disraeli family she belongs to is also a member of the great nobles...

"Then if this is the case, can the current Mr. Prime Minister also be able to walk through the Way of Ten Thousand Gates, just like the royal family?" Although Di Renjie noticed Angelina's disdain, he was still a little curious.

"Indeed, but in terms of cohesive collective will, it is difficult for elected political officials to break through the barrier between the third level and the fourth level. Because they are replaced too frequently, and Chaofan is a person who needs to work slowly and carefully. So far, only three political officials who have been active in the political arena of various countries have reached the fourth level, namely the Mr. President of France, the Prime Minister of Germany, and my father." Angelina When it came to Mr. Disraeli, his tone became extremely complicated.

"Sorry, I didn't know..." Di Renjie quickly expressed his apology, but at this moment, deep in his heart, he was still shocked by the news that the former prime minister was of the fourth rank, while the current prime minister was only of the third rank.

"It's okay." Angelina waved her hand, was silent for a second, then raised her head, and said with a normal expression: "I just said it was far away. In short, the price that ordinary people need to pay to enter the Eternal Balance Path is higher than other paths. It is much less, and the harvest is not bad at all, so we call the afterglow of sublimation the blessing of the eternal balance, but it is not without shortcomings. Its biggest shortcoming is scarcity, unlike other ways that can be promoted as long as certain conditions are met. Therefore , We are very cautious in the selection of each new member."

"Thank you Mr. Charles and everyone for your recognition." Di Renjie said sincerely.

"Oh, Mr. Watson, you have engraved three words of your real name in less than a week, and it will be difficult for everyone to agree..." Angelina rubbed her forehead helplessly,
"It's far away. After stepping into the second level, if a transcendent wants to go further, he needs to continuously absorb the radiance of wisdom to strengthen his spiritual power. When the radiance fills the spiritual body, the spiritual power of the entire soul will be reduced. An evolution occurs, which is a leap in the essence of the soul. We call it the first transformation of the soul. The transformation process is much safer than when the first stage is promoted to the second stage. After the transformation, the quality and total amount of spiritual power They will all be greatly improved, and officially step into the third level to become a bachelor. At this time, the transcendent can truly have strategic deterrent power, and can easily reach the level of one against a hundred."

"It doesn't sound too difficult. Is there any difficulty that I haven't noticed?" Di Renjie asked.

"Indeed, there is a hidden difficulty at this stage, that is, it is slow. The process of accumulating the radiance of wisdom is really slow. Many extraordinary people have accumulated for a lifetime, but they have not reached the critical point of promotion..." Angelina said bitterly Said, because she is also currently in this painful stage.

Compared with the first stage of failure or benevolence, the pain of the second stage is the kind of despair that you have worked hard for decades, but you still can't see the end in the distance.

"But it's not that there is no way to speed up," Angelina said, "The most orthodox way is to do research. Compared with studying by yourself, exploring and discovering truths that others have not discovered, the wisdom you get is simply astronomical." Numbers, people in the association who set foot on the third level at a young age are basically such research geniuses; there is also a more partial way, which is to find alchemists to buy potions or extraordinary cuisine, some powerful alchemy products It can speed up the speed at which we can condense the aura of wisdom. In addition, there are some natural extraordinary objects, most of which are treasures that were accidentally born under the influence of the extraordinary source, and some of them also have the effect of accelerating the accumulation of aura of wisdom."

"Then Miss Angelina, the Transcendent of the Eternal Balance Path, can she only absorb the radiance of wisdom to increase her spiritual power? Is there any other similar nutrient?" Di Renjie asked sideways.

"I have never heard of this. The four paths have their own corresponding auras, such as the aura of faith from the Pure White Eye, the will aura from the Gate of Ten Thousand Gates, etc., but each path can only absorb the corresponding aura. I have never heard of a situation where it can absorb other auras." Angelina shook her head and said.

"It seems that we have no shortcuts to go," Di Renjie said with a smile.

"Sometimes there are shortcuts may not necessarily be a good thing," Angelina said with some emotion, but her words can be regarded as a kind of self-comfort, if there are shortcuts, she can't guarantee that she can sit still Try it without:
"The second level is like this. After the soul transformation is completed, it will enter the third level. As usual, there may still be a promotion of the words of the real name in this process; in addition, the sublimation afterglow will also be generated, but the number will be more. Reaching 9 shares means that a third-level bachelor can form a school with him as the core as long as he is willing. This is also the association's regulation. Only the third-level can become the person in charge of an academic party. s reason."

Di Renjie nodded thoughtfully.

"I don't know the details of the extraordinary road after the third level. I just heard that extraordinary people at this stage need to find a path of their own on the premise of continuously strengthening their spiritual power, and then use this path as a medium to completely Integrate your body and soul, so that you can become a truly extraordinary creature."

"That's why fourth-order transcendents are no longer afraid of ordinary firearms, because they have half-stepped into the realm of inhumanity. Let me give you a simple example," Angelina looked at Di Renjie expectantly. , "Mr. Watson, have you heard of Alfredo, the living city?"

"Yes, I heard that Mr. Charles gave a brief introduction to the headquarters of the association before," Di Renjie said with some surprise, and he was a little unclear why Angelina mentioned this matter for a while.

Then he saw that Angelina said in a tone of admiration and admiration:
"The living city - Avrido, is rumored to be the body of a fourth-order sage."

"This..." Di Renjie lost his composure for a rare moment,

"This is really, really unbelievable." Di Renjie's voice was broken, and the shock in his heart could not be concealed.

This is what it means to have half a foot in the inhuman...

The fourth level of transcendence, the difference between extraordinary people at this stage and the first three levels is really too great.

Di Renjie has also seen the third level like Mrs. Stubbs and Mr. Charles, but they give him the feeling that he is like an ordinary person with a little special ability, and the fourth level described by Angelina at this time, Not a concept at all.

"Many people think that among the five extraordinary stages, the promotion from the third stage to the fourth stage is the most difficult step. This level of difficulty, if calculated from the promotion ratio, is even lower than the promotion from the fourth stage to the fifth stage." Angeli Na showed a look of anticipation and longing, which allowed Di Renjie to see the strength and ambition hidden in the heart of this unusual girl, "Of course it's not appropriate to say that, because if you simply calculate the proportion, from ordinary people to The level of the extraordinary is the most difficult."

Angelina smiled, "I've talked a lot today, so let's stop here for this exchange. If you have any questions, you can still write to my address. In addition, the next meeting will start soon. You can also consult other members there at any time.”

"Anyway," she stretched out her right hand to Di Renjie, the last rays of the setting sun fell on her face,
"Mr. Watson, welcome to the Buttermilk Owl Academic Gathering."

Di Renjie was taken aback for a moment, then stretched out his hand and said happily:
"Thank you, it's my pleasure."

"But can I make a small comment," he said with a wry smile after letting go of his hand.

"What's wrong?" Angelina asked curiously.

"When there is such a sense of ceremony, can we not mention the full name of the party?"

After the sun had completely sunk into the mountains, the Hughendon Manor welcomed an unexpected visitor.

His arrival plunged the entire manor into an unspeakable silence.

"Gladstone, I thought I would never see you again in my life." Disraeli sat in the living room and did not get up to greet his guests.

There were also no maids and servants in the living room, and no one dared to disturb the meeting of the two gentlemen.

"You and I want to go together, Mr. Former Prime Minister." Gladstone, who was greeted by no one, didn't feel embarrassed, walked to the guest's seat and poured himself a cup of black tea.

He deliberately accentuated the root of the former.

"This is not the gesture a surrenderer should have." Disraeli said with a smile.

"I'm not a surrenderer, I'm here to discuss business, Your Excellency the Earl." Gladstone said calmly.
