'Finally, I can focus on the Major Laws of Aspects. I've been stuck with the Level Two Laws forever. Would be amazing if I could upgrade them. Although I would also need to infuse my Essences again if I want to have a proper improvent.'
The Wisdom Fire Realm was a big one since it unlocked so many things.
Teleportation.
Dinsional descent.
New Laws of Aspects.
Primary Worlds.
An insane increase in power.
Kyle rembered the first Sage he had properly talked to, which had been Wolfmistress. However, compared to him, she hadn't been a True Sage. Yet, even a False or Failed Sage had been so much more powerful than him back then.
Wolfmistress had owned an entire Planet with a Law Well, which had been unimaginable to Kyle back then. Now, this didn't seem special anymore. After all, Kyle had owned a bunch of Planets already.
In the Supre World, there was also a big divide between people below and above the Wisdom Fire Realm. In order to beco a Lower Primary Organization, an Organization needed at least one True Sage and at least a couple of False Sages.
Sages had a considerable amount of power in the Main Dinsion. Very often, they led Lower Primary or Higher Secondary Organizations. These were Organizations that owned several Planet Systems, if not entire Domains. Of course, most of them still answered to more powerful Organizations, but they were still powerful themselves.
As a Sage, Kyle could also travel across the Supre World without needing to use Teleportation Formation Arrays. Sure, if he wanted to get from one end to another, he would still need to travel for thousands of years, but he was no longer limited to just a couple of Planets.
He had entered the Supre World as a Transcendent. In the Supre World, Transcendents were basically considered new Seekers. Now, he was a Sage, soone who actually had power. It was normal for a Domain to only have a single Sage.
Kyle closed his eyes and focused on his mind. At this mont, he felt an almost unnoticeable headache. He needed to use all of his focus to sense it since the searing pain of the Sin Flas overshadowed it so trendously.
'I've heard that the Wisdom Fire Realm is the most miserable Realm out of all of them. It's just a brutal slog of pain and more pain.'
Kyle also focused on his Sin Flas next. 'I've gotten used to them by now. Still sucks that they're present, but I can live with them. From what I've heard, the pain of the Sin Flas is about as bad as the Fifth Refinent. A Fifth Refinent Sage is also considered a Fulfilled Sage. So, until I'm a Fulfilled Sage, the pain shouldn't be an issue.'
As the na suggested, the Wisdom Fire Realm was all about strengthening one's mind via purification. The ability to focus was one of the biggest when it ca to succeeding in a ntally strenuous task.
Back on Earth, there were gas or disciplines in sports that were often bottlenecked by one's ability to focus. Speed chess, real-ti strategy gas, and similar gas required the player to maintain a high level of focus without breaks, and the more they could focus, the more they could optimize their strategy, increasing their chances of winning. Very often, these players could only retain their peak performance for less than an hour. For the remaining ti, they were still very competent, but they would not be as good anymore.
The Wisdom Fire Realm aid to improve one's focus and ntal resilience. Fiery pain would shoot through a Sage's head during Refinent, and if they lacked any of these two things, they would fail the Refinent.
It was important to note that Refinents couldn't be paused. If soone stopped in the middle of one, they would need to start from the beginning again.
In the beginning, this wouldn't be a huge setback. A Sage received an additional 40,000 years of longevity, and the first couple of Refinents didn't need a lot of ti to complete.
When a Crusher beca a Sage, they beca First Refinent Sages, who were also called New Sages. They were called as such because they had technically already gone through a Refinent while they had been advancing. In short, the First Refinent was simply becoming a New Sage. Naturally, Kyle had already finished his First Refinent and was now a New Sage, or First Refinent Sage.
A Sage could start their next Refinent whenever they wanted. There were no prerequisites they needed to fulfill.
They didn't need a certain amount of Energy. They didn't need certain Laws. They didn't need a certain level of Montum. They could simply start their Refinent whenever they wanted, and they could also restart a Refinent however many tis they wanted. The only thing one would lose upon failing a Refinent was ti.
Focus and ntal resilience were imperative in the Wisdom Fire Realm. In the early Refinents, one's focus would not be as important. ntal resilience was much more important in the early Refinents. However, one's focus would beco much more important later.
The Second Refinent, which was actually the first Refinent, only needed 100 years. As long as one could withstand the pain for a hundred years, one could advance a level and beco a Second Refinent Sage, a Minor Sage. Most people beca Minor Sages on their first attempt. They just needed to find a quiet place and focus on their Refinent.
The Third Refinent needed 300 years and was quite a bit more painful. Half of the Sages failed during their first attempt, but after a couple more tries, most of them would succeed and beco Major Sages.
The Fourth Refinent was the first one in which focus started to beco relevant. It needed an entire millennium and hurt a lot. A thousand years was a good chunk of ti. Even though Sages could live for an additional 40,000 years, a thousand years still represented 2.5% of their longevity. For a regular Mortal, this equated to two entire years.
Of course, with enough ntal resilience, the Sage would succeed, but without enough focus...
They would've just sat around for a thousand years.
This was a thousand years without comprehending Laws, managing an Organization, increasing one's Montum, refining an External Complex Law, or accumulating resources. With enough focus, a Sage could keep doing other things during their Refinent.
The Fourth Refinent was a big hurdle. Barely 10% of Sages could pass it for multiple reasons. Sotis, they failed due to things not in their control. A lot of things could happen in a thousand years. For example, their Organization might have weakened significantly during their absence, and an enemy was suddenly threatening to destroy it. Maybe a beast found them.
However, if they managed to get past it, they would beco an Advanced Sage, and as an Advanced Sage, they had earned the right to advance and beco a Spirit Lord.
Yet, for the truly talented Seekers, this was not the end.
The Fifth Refinent needed 2,500 years and hurt as much as Sin Flas. Committing so much ti to a Refinent was also risky and costly. The Fifth Refinent was when the number of deaths increased drastically. Getting through a thousand years of torturous pain just to realize that one wasn't strong enough was too much for many Sages.
Many of them tried to force it and go all-in, which would lead to a significantly weakened, dire, and dark ntal state.
There were only three ways one could die during a Refinent.
One, swearing on one's life to succeed and failing.
Two, sudden collapse of one's mind. This was very rare, though.
Yet, the most common one was number three...
Suicide.
