Chapter 305 Astral Realm
Humans, elves, dwarfs, the normal energy beasts, and other beings that a human can naturally perceive reside in this normal perceivable realm, [[( Cognition World )]].
Demons, the real low rank and noble strong ones, reside in the lowest realm, [[( Hell )]]. And this hell itself is believed to have nine different levels, but that was in that specific realm, so they were called [Floors] of a realm.
Just like how demons reside in the lowest area of the world, gods reside in the highest one, [[( Heaven )]]. And there are believed to have six such [Floors] there too. The six levels of heaven are divided by the strengths of lords and gods.
Aside from them, there exist another three \'known\' realms.
The famous [[( Mirror World )]] that some powerful sorcerers and wizards can enter. It is just like this perceivable realm, but with no other being and the sorcerers and wizards can alter the reality there without harming the real world.
The [[( Astral Realm )]]. The gateway of the other major realms.
The physical body mostly does not hold any value when talking about the grand scale of nature and that is the major reason only a handful of the strongest even know about the existence of different strengths of the soul.
As one gets stronger, one understands themselves better.
In this process, they learn more about their soul. After starting to learn what the soul is, how it is important and how it can be controlled, one gains a better understanding of the world.
As the understanding of the soul increases, the soul itself strengthens and gains a certain shape that resembles the body or, in some cases, something else.
At one point, they become able to separate the physical body and the intangible soul, which marks their first step into the grand scale of this nature and different realms.
At first, it is difficult to understand what this place is, but after some time, one naturally understands the things and becomes familiar with the base pathway called Astral World.
Here, one can see things that one can\'t perceive with normal eyes or even with special eyes.
These places are totally different from the world we know and, according to the \'truth\' we know and the strength of one\'s soul, we can travel to different realms of this world.
But a strong soul and \'knowledge\' and permission of nature are required to travel to the higher realm, like Heaven or Hell.
The last known realm is [[( Spirit Realm )]].
The place where spirits reside.
A wonderful and colorful place.
But, one can\'t enter this place as they want through the Astral pathways. Only the gates to there could let you enter the place.
The gates to the spirit realm are special, protected, and mostly unknown.
We have one at our home tower that I have never seen so, well; I know I will go there at least once.
One can see the spirits from the base Astral Realm if the spirits are roaming around there, just like many other residents of this realm.
Many spirits play around in the Astral realm with Feys, Fays, Fairies, Pixies, and some spirit animals and spirit beasts who reside there.
But, the beasts that reside there are sometimes, negative, dark, and ferocious.
The creatures there or people who can enter this realm can hunt these beasts. And the energy obtained from them also helps to further strengthen their souls.
But what we were doing right now didn\'t concern something like fighting an impossible opponent like those spirit creatures.
I can separate my soul from the physical body and actually much more than that.
But, right now, I was just helping her temporarily separate her soul from her body.
I was doing it for her and this experience will help her when she does it by herself in the future but... I knew she will be astonished.
After she accepted my hand, I came out from my body with her holding my hand and this was my first time doing this after meeting Ronna.
Before her, my soul looked normal like it usually is in my normal form but now that I was looking at my appearance as well as hers in this form, it sure was quite something.
Normally, everyone has a different color and characteristics of their soul and mine was this pure white color.
It has always been like this since the first time I saw it. A pure white replica of my body.
It was the same the last time I did this too.
But now... there was a golden mark of an extraordinary bow on the left side chest of my soul.
Well, that was it. There was nothing much different than that.
Those with origin skills retained those skills in Astral form too but all the other skills are useless. And weapons too.
Though world authorities, witchcraft, soul armaments, demonic magic, spirit magic, divine skills, and origin magic works here, aside from that, nothing works in these different realms.
There\'s no physical body to start with so, everything is a pure form of different energies.
And what magic one can use depends on the soul\'s strength so, the weapons that don\'t use the soul\'s energy, soul armaments, are some of the strongest things in this place.
So, the mark on my chest was Ronna, my dear partner bow.
It has been a while since I was here with someone else, in a place different than our tower, and this place definitely was spectacular~!
[[ "What the hell?" ]]
She said in my mind as the mental conversation was the only way of speech in this place.
Her soul was the same color as her eyes and just like me, she was a bright pink self of herself with an unmatched alluring body.
[[ "Amazing, right?" ]]
The Astral world wasn\'t much different from the normal world.
Even right now, aside from the spectacular things we can see, the physical elements were no different in our current eyes.
