82 Battle Intent Manual (2/2)

Dean was currently too focused on that single line but thought this may be similar to some special poems.

Instead of requiring the reader to look and dissect line by line, it desires for the reader to look at the whole writing as a whole and analyze it.

It was extremely arduous but Dean still wanted to complete this puzzle.

Looking down at the book once more, Dean was surprised the excessive change to it.

Flicking through the book due to his curiosity, there were many diagrams that he had not noticed before including charts, notes and scriptures.

One diagram looked like it was a torture scene as it was a blank humanoid form being strapped onto a table.

Reading the text close to it, Dean understood what was happening.

From a cultivator's standpoint then it was indeed torture due to the fact that practitioner is completely refining their body with Battle Intent that went from the skin all the way to the nerves.

Such a deadly skill will allow one to increase in strength and cultivation however the risks involved would be that the closer you get to refining your body, the more likely you are to be impaired

An example would be the internal organs. Accidents can which is fine however the healing process could be expensive and take a lengthy time.

If used on nerves then one will have a high chance to become mentally damaged. This will effect the cultivator's ability to find their path in search of a higher cultivation.

The scariest example listed was that if one lacked talent then they will be used by the Battle Intent.

It was not equivalent where it would act as poison but instead control the body as a host that would begin a massacre.

Some paper was jammed in that acted as sticky notes told horror stories of people killing their own families, lovers or friends while being conscious of their act.

Dean studied the thick stack of notes but his question regarding the very first passage that allowed him to embark on a path of revenge was never found.

Only after lingering around the middle of the pages, Dean finally found a somewhat answer to his question.

A page listed down 12 cultivation stages: Body Refinement, Qi gathering, Foundation Pillars, Revolution Core, Golden Light, Silver Shadow, Nascent Soul, Soul Nourishment, Spirit Thrive, Void Shattering, Whole Unity, Ascendant.

Dean found that they did align with what Christian said and indeed some of these cultivation realms were familiar to him.

The only odd part was that the realm, Ascendant was completely crossed off with a child like scribble.

Looking down the page, Dean found his answer that was a like a prologue.

{It is impossible for use to be gods. We neither create or destroy as a meaning of our life. We live only for the reason that we can and do what we want}
