Pivot of the Sky

Chapter 39: 033, The Melancholy Cat (top)

Man can be a god, but it starts with the power to awaken the two sides of one, but I think that all the gods conspire to hide this secret and divide the path of eternal life into two, known as divinity and body art, which have no end.

Practicing the divine arts can gain the power given by the gods and even eventually see the possibility of becoming gods, but it is impossible to pass the final test. Practicing body surgery can gain powerful blood forces, become the strong on the continent, and eventually almost invincible, but not the eternity of existence.

Some of the great samurai have had a second awakening of power, which also allows them to practice certain magic to aid in martial arts, making them stronger, and I have focused over the years on the stories and legends of these great samurai. Exploration is hard and complex, with hundreds of years of teacher thinking and countless hard blood tears in history, and I will only conclude.

Awakening the strength bestowed by the Gods is difficult, but even more difficult is awakening the strength of the two sides of one. In fact, those great samurai who succeeded in waking up their strength for a second time had this possibility at the earliest. This type of person is very small, but after all, it is not without it. The absolute number of people in the arts and crafts must be very large, and some of them became samurai only because they were initially ineligible to study theology.

To awaken the power of the two sides simultaneously, but also the desire of the two sides, this test can simultaneously cultivate the first degree of theology and the first degree of somatology.

The second test to be faced is “body purification”, which should be a physical test that will allow you to become a second-degree samurai, after which you will need to continue practicing your theology to become a second-degree theologian.

The third test then faced was the "steadfastness of faith", which was often considered a test of divinity, through which one could become a third-degree magician, but then one needed to continue to practice physical skills to become a third-degree samurai.

Again, the fourth test faced is “purity of blood", which should be the test of physical surgery, through which you can become a fourth-level samurai, but then you need to continue practicing your theology to advance to a fourth-level intermediate-class theologian.

The fifth test is "Devil's Temptation," which is often considered a test of divinity and can lead to a Level 5 Theologian, after which you will need to continue practicing your body technique to become a Level 5 Samurai.

The sixth test is the "breakthrough of limits”, which should be the test of physical skill, which can be made a level six warrior, but then needs to continue practicing theology as a level six magician.

By the end of my exploration, I was just a Class IX magician and a Class VI warrior, and that's all I could be sure of.

The next is mere speculation that the test to be faced again should be the "convergence of beliefs” documented in the Divine Book, through which one can become a Seven Major Magician. This step is extraordinarily difficult, blocking the vast majority of the world's magicians from the threshold. It was not clear how the two sides of the exercise should be carried out, and it was to be hoped that the road would continue to be explored.

It needs to be stated that doing so is much more difficult than practicing body technique and divinity alone, and the harder it becomes later, the more wonderful I don't know, and the less successful it may ultimately be. Even if we try, it is very rare to walk this path, and whether we can reach the end and see the heaven where the gods are, I'm afraid it takes not only courage and wisdom, but also the world to make his fortune.

If you see these people as my respected teachers, please don't forget the three things I told you, it was a separate message to you, I won't write it here, and I can't explain why for the time being.

That was the end of the message recorded in the tears of the gods, and Bell added a lot of small text annotations to his conclusions. Amon dared not to be distracted at all. He looked as if he was drunk, but did not notice that Schrödinger in the distance had closed his eyes and fell asleep. The cat rushed in and eventually saw everything, but was disappointed or even lost.

The golden text appearing in the void has disappeared, the tears of the gods still shine, and the mountain belly is quiet, listening carefully to only Schrödinger's faint snoring. Amon stood silently on the platform for a long time, immersed in a deep setting, rejuvenating everything he had just seen and forgetting where he was.

Bell summed up the detailed steps to cultivate the power of the two sides of the one, which he himself had apparently demonstrated, and one of the top nine magicians, who also possessed six levels of physical achievement, was hardly ever heard of on the Tianpi continent.

“Awakening of Desire”, "Determination of Belief”, "Temptation of the Devil”, “Convergence of Beliefs”, these are the tests of cultivation of the divine arts, from an ordinary man to the obstacles to the achievement of the Great Magician, as documented in the Divine Book. In Bell's note, there is another explanation for the "firmness of faith", which Ammon understands as the "firmness of faith”.

The two men had never met and had been apart for decades, but their understanding was the same, and Ammon testified from Bell's annotations that he had learned from his divine practice.

But for physical training, awakening power also awakens the desire of another impulse, followed by tests such as "purity of body”, “purity of blood”, “breakthrough of limits”, etc. These are not clearly documented in the Physical Arts Dictionary, where the old lunatic finds certain patterns that are ignored and sums them up, and Bell apparently goes further on the basis of the teacher.

The path ahead of Ammon has become clear, first of all by awakening the forces of the two sides of the one and, in turn, by “the awakening of desire” (level I) - "the purity of the body” (level II) - "the firmness of conviction” (level III) - "the purity of the bloodline” (level IV) - "the temptation of the devil” (level V) - "the breakthrough of the limits” (level VI).

Bell's certification ends here, and the road behind needs to be explored by Amon himself. To the best of his knowledge, he has yet to hear who can become a great magician and a great warrior at the same time.

Although Bell left a lot of annotations, there are places that are very simple, such as waking up the power of the two sides of the whole thing with just one word, unless the old madman himself comes, it is not easy for others to understand. Now it's not the old lunatic, it's Amon, and he can see it just as easily.

Bell also made a point that anyone may have a focus on their abilities or have different personal preferences, such as someone who is good at sword fighting and someone who likes to wave the magic of the staff. These do not affect the practice of two sides of the same coin, such as those who choose to be samurai, who only need to meet the requirements of basic meditation when practicing their magic, and who choose to be a magician, who only needs to exercise the power of blood when practicing their body surgery, and who do not need to learn complex martial arts techniques.

It would be reasonable to focus first on meeting the most basic requirements, given that the path itself is so difficult that it would not be possible to achieve any kind of capacity to its fullest potential, consuming the energy of one's life.

Amon has two more questions after reading Bell's message. One is the bone, said to be the sacred object of Isis Temple, the ribs of Osiris. He guessed well before, and that was the skeleton of a god, which at least testified to a crazy Nietzsche saying, that the immortal god would fall, or that Osiris was just a demigod.

Ammon only knows that Osiris is the father of Horus, the king god of the Egyptians, and that there are idols of Isis and Osiris in the temple of Horus in Duke town. As for what happened to this rib, Amon knew nothing about it. It was like a dream in his hand, but it was incredibly real.

The puppet detector can't sense this bone, and the puppet detector can't sense Schrödinger. Is the cat also a god? This is Amon's second question, and Bell did not even mention any information about Schrödinger.

To think of it, Amon looked back at Schrödinger and found that he had fallen asleep on the ground. He looked sloppy and lazy. There was nothing like the tall god. Amon also found his idea a little funny.

Perhaps a man's soul was sealed in Schrödinger's body, otherwise how could it write? And it's written in divine scripture! But this speculation does not explain how a cat can survive a long 30 years of gloom and reach the town of Duke through the gruesome canyon jungle.

Forget it, if you can't figure it out, don't force yourself to think about it. If Schrödinger wanted to say it himself, even the old lunatic didn't know the cat could write, and Amon couldn't seem to force it to do anything. It was the cat who led him here, got all the information Bell left behind, and he should only thank him properly.

The tears of the gods are still hanging in the air. It is imperative to put away this precious stone first. The old lunatic's letters can only read the message. Amen wants to receive the tears of the gods or use the Ribs of the Underworld. How to use it Bell has already said that the minimum requirement is a third-degree magician or magician who has practiced intermediate space theology, preferably Ammon.

For the sake of safety, Amon did not take the tears of the gods first, but experimented with all the things scattered on the ground. Space artifacts can hold a lot of things, like carrying another space, how many magicians dream of treasures. And Amon already has two pieces in his hand, the bone and the unusable dance of the wind.

The ground is littered with weapons, armor, canes, precious ornaments and unused scrolls, all of which are good! While some weapons and armor have become fragments, materials remain precious. Wouldn't it be more valuable if Medanzo had carried the marquee steel embryo all the way to Barron Royal City?

Amon has no habit of wasting things, even if he doesn't need them himself, he can give them to others.
