In the distant sky, the broken dreamland, level 34.

"Stick to me."

As soon as Ash finished speaking, Sonia, Diya and even Weiss stuck close to his body. At this moment, no monsters appeared in the underground hall. Only a few wisps of light purple shining smoke came out from everywhere, floating over slowly.

However, it was this purple smoke that kept Ash and his companions stranded for three days!

As early as three days ago, Ash and his friends had made it to level 34 with great momentum. Not only because the four of them worked together seamlessly, but also because "Aurora's Dream Treasure House" actually recognized the clearance of the Ghost Heritage!

As long as they pass 5 levels in Ghost Heritage, they can steadily draw an auxiliary collection!

This is much easier than exploring the dream bubbles. After all, bubbles are of different levels of difficulty and ease. It takes about 100 minutes to clear 5 bubbles. Ash and his friends usually explore 13 bubbles in one night, which means they can only get two more collections.

However, the first five levels of Ghost Heritage are generally less difficult. After Ash and his friends gradually became familiar with the soul factions and used the initial soul skills more easily, they passed the first 20 levels easily and drew at least four more collections!

The ability of the collection to ignore the inheritance ban can also help them pass the levels better! Occasionally, they can draw a powerful colorful collection such as "Night Comet" (which shoots out a stream of comets when hit), and they can even pass the previous level with zero consumption.

But even with the blessing of the collection, some levels cannot be passed by brute force alone, such as the inheritance test in the 34th level, "Haunting Dreams"!

After they were hit by this move for the first time, they had no ability to resist at all. They fell into a long dream and their souls were constantly consumed. If Weisser's soul faction had not reached the silver realm at that time and she had not woken up before dying and used the 'Ghost Key' to escape from the inheritance, everyone would have died there!

Even a Sanctuary magician is still vulnerable in the angel inheritance, and may die without even knowing what happened!

Ash and the others were also scared. What was even more troublesome was that even if they escaped, they didn't know how to pass this test. Just when they were about to get stuck here, Weisser found a breakthrough in the Ghost Handbook.

As mentioned before, the Ghost Handbook contains a lot of records, but most of them are irrelevant to modern magicians, and most people just read and forget them. There are many chapters that record the battle records of the Ghost Prophet when he was still a magician.

Weisser discovered from the battle chapter that the Ghost Prophet once used a soul miracle called "Haunting Dreams", which was very similar to the test in level 34 in terms of both description and effect. Only then did they realize what trick had nearly killed them.

However, the "Haunting Dreams" recorded in the Ghost Handbook is only a sanctuary miracle that can make the target fall asleep. Although the effect is powerful, it definitely does not have the effect of wearing away the soul. Therefore, the 34th level of the haunting dreams is most likely a more powerful version of the Ghost Prophet after he was promoted to a legendary magician, or even a miracle that was further strengthened and improved after he became a demigod angel!

"Haunting Dreams" naturally cannot be resisted head-on, and the method to break it is also in the "Ghost Manual" - the Ghost Prophet wrote in it. His miracle trick can even corrode the sanctuary, and most magicians cannot resist it at all, and can't even defend themselves, because this trick is an all-round invasion of vision, hearing, smell, and touch. When the magician notices the light purple flashing smoke, his soul has already been drawn.

But if the magician has a strong and solid soul, he will not be affected at all. No matter how entangled his soul is, his soul will remain unmoved!

And the method to strengthen the soul lies in the ghost inheritance!

There are two regular rewards for Ghost Heritage, one is "Soul Experience" and the other is "Temporary Magical Spirit".

Yes, except for the 'first soul' magic spirits generated by Ash and his friends themselves, most of the magic spirits obtained from the inheritance cannot be taken away. It is not known whether the Ghost Prophet is a poor guy who cannot give rewards, or he does not want to see incompetent people picking up rewards from the inheritance for free.

Among the rewards of temporary magic spirits, many can directly affect the magician's soul, such as the 'Fighting Soul' that can become stronger with each battle, the 'Sword Soul' that increases the damage of blades, the 'Evil Soul' that can be enhanced with malice, and the 'Dark Soul' that becomes stronger as the light becomes weaker.

Among them, there is a 'Soul Refining' magic spirit, which can remove soul impurities, compress the soul mass, and make the soul more condensed and heavy! But this alone is not enough, because they can't pick up four soul refining magic spirits, so after three days of exploration and testing, Yaxiu also chose the 'Soul Clothes' and 'Soul Sleeping' magic spirits.

The former is very practical, and will form a layer of defensive armor outside the soul, and the defensive strength is proportional to the quality of the soul, which is just right for the soul-refining magic spirit. The latter is a magic spirit used for treatment, which accelerates the recovery of soul damage through sleep.

Facing the lavender smoke that had been haunting him, Ash had already used soul refining. After going through the intense pain like being cut by an axe or a knife, his body had become much thinner, but his face and skin were full of luster and elasticity, as if his real body had come to the virtual world!

Then, combine the Soul Clothes with the Sleeping Soul!

Miracle: Sleeping with a coat!

A light blue windbreaker appeared on Ash's body, covering the three sword ladies. Sonia, Diya and Weisser's eyelids immediately drooped and they quickly fell asleep leaning against Ash.

At this time, the lingering purple smoke surrounded them for several circles. Not only did it have no effect on Ash, it also failed to wear away the souls of the three Sword Princesses.

This is the solution that Weisser has researched: the essence of haunting is to pull out the target's soul and gradually consume it. In addition to souls that are thick and can resist being pulled in, if the soul is pulled in by other miracles first, it can also resist being haunted!

The miracle of sleeping together in a coat was based on the soul foundation of Ash after soul cultivation, which forcibly attracted the souls of Weisser and others. In simple terms, Ash ate Weisser and others first, and as long as the soul could not pry open Ash's mouth, it would not be able to affect Weisser and others.

Five minutes passed like this, and Ash felt a little tired holding them. The light purple smoke gradually dissipated, and three reward light balls appeared in the hall.

Ash immediately lifted the miracle of sleeping with the coat, and Weisser was the first to wake up. She took two steps back and breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally passed."

"I didn't expect to succeed at once." Ash was also full of joy.

In fact, Ash had already prepared the "Ghost Key" and was ready to exit the virtual world if the "Sleeping with Coat" didn't work. After all, the "Haunting Soul" was a legendary secret method and even a miracle, while their "Sleeping with Coat" was a miracle in its infancy, so it was normal for the crack to fail.

However, although it seems that they cracked it easily, firstly, they need to find the three magic spirits of Refining Soul, Soul Clothes and Sleeping Soul from the rewards; secondly, magic power cannot be used in the ghost inheritance. Ash can only use his soul to drive these two magic spirits to create a miracle.

This is not an easy task that can be done in a jovial way. After all, this miracle is not the simple superposition of two magic spirits, but allowing the effect of the Sleeping Soul to penetrate into the Soul Robe, and then releasing the power of the Sleeping Soul through the Soul Robe...If Ash's soul faction had not also reached the silver realm, he would not be able to perform this miracle at all.

This is why they postponed the attack on level 34 for three days. During these three days, they spent their time in the previous levels to gain soul experience. When the three sword girls and their soul factions were promoted to silver, Ash was naturally promoted to silver through experience sharing. In this way, even if they encounter accidents later, they will at least have some self-protection power.

As for why it was Ash who performed the Sleeping with Coat Technique, it was because he was the only one in the team who had a vacant position.

Sword Princess follows the "Sword Soul" route, constantly strengthening her melee ability. In most battle levels, she is the first to rush forward and chop and kill;

Weisser follows the 'Soul Master' route, controlling multiple enemies by strengthening the soul's computing power, and often shines when the number of enemies exceeds double digits;

The witch follows the route of 'Samurai Soul', 'Martial Soul', 'War Soul', etc. Although she cannot use magic spirits in the inheritance, her fist and claw faction is a real gold level. When the sword lady kills head-on, she can assist and make up for it.

This is why they still insist on clearing the level with four people - no matter what rewards the level gives out, they are suitable for at least one operator's route, and if a single magician encounters an unsuitable reward, he can only choose randomly.

This situation makes Ash very embarrassed. Although he is proficient in many magic schools through experience sharing, his actual combat is mainly based on long-range swordsmanship. However, if he takes the sword soul route, he will not only compete with Sword Princess for resources, but also have overflow output.

It was not until he analyzed the combination of soul refining and soul clothing that Ash determined his route in the ghost heritage - the guardian.

Simply put, when the enemy wants to focus fire, he has to rush forward and get beaten.
