The Mind Realm of this world is rumored to have five layers.
The deeper the layer, the more dangerous it is.
Rumor has it that for certain special reasons, some gods cannot remain in the Material Realm for long, so they reside in the depths of the Mind Realm.
Should a Professional encounter one, there is a ninety-nine percent chance of death.
The reason it’s ninety-nine percent instead of one hundred is that a Sequence Four Legendary Level Professional once encountered a god within the Mind Realm.
However, for some unknown reason, they were fortunate enough to survive.
Although they went mad not long after, they did, in the end, survive.
Therefore, the Mind Realm is an extremely dangerous place.
Once an ordinary Professional enters, finding a way out is virtually impossible.
Their only fates are to be trapped here until they die, or to be casually killed by a passing high-level entity or an Evil God.
However, Hu Qi was an exception.
At this thought, a strange fluctuation emanated from Hu Qi.
It instantly enveloped him, concealing his aura.
Among the many Extraordinary Paths he had seized was one from the Spirit Medium Path: Sequence Seven, Spirit Guide.
This allowed him to diminish his presence within the Mind Realm, helping him avoid the notice of unknown entities.
At the same time, he could also perceive the Material Realm.
However, the dead Duke had been unaware of this.
Hu Qi’s figure transformed into a nearly imperceptible streak of black light and shot forward.
Simultaneously, Hu Qi split his attention, summoning his status panel.
His eyes focused on one section.

[Modification Points: 261,242 (59%)]
At this moment, Hu Qi had already advanced to become a Sequence Six Dragon Slayer Master.
This was why he had been able to defeat Duke.
The boost from his advancement was enormous.
Aside from the changes to his physique and Swordsmanship, the most obvious change was that his original Trait One, Eye of Tempered Blade, had become the current Sword-Eroding Eye.
Its various abilities had been greatly enhanced.
Furthermore, he now possessed the power to manipulate Illusion Realms and inflict spiritual Erosion.
In comparison, although Traits Two, Three, and Four had improved, the enhancement was nowhere near as significant.
In addition, he had also gained the Giant Dragon Domain Trait.
This Trait allowed him, a Sequence Six, to possess a Domain, bridging the gap between him and a Sequence Five.
He had just used the power of the Sword-Eroding Eye, stacked with his Giant Dragon Domain, to grievously wound Duke in a single blow.
Although he had not yet fully mapped out the Godslayer Extraordinary Path, its basic framework was already clear, and it could be divided into five stages.
These were Sharpening the Sword, Training Skill, Tu Sheng, Slaying Power, and finally, God Slaying.
Now, for Hu Qi to advance to Sequence Five, he would need to complete the "Slaying Power" stage.
’If I’m going to do that, I’m afraid I’ll have to openly place myself in complete opposition to the Celestial Dragon Federation and the Seven Gods Church.’
These thoughts flashed through his mind.
Suddenly, he paused.
