Chapter 296: Kindest and Wisest (1)
Divine Body of Dragon Phoenix Method.
Hex read the Method with care. The baron’s notes implied that this Method created him. Perchance, maybe, but still.
Each of the ten steps had harsh requirements for completion. Still, each step consisted of five aspects: energy manifestation, body transformation, soul transformation, elemental fusion, and integration.
Energy manifestation required him to condense refined energy into matter. Basically, he had to turn energy, which was immaterial, into something materialistic. It required immense amounts of energy and control over the energy. A slight mistake and the energy would rip the user apart.
Body Transformation didn’t mean that the user had to alter their appearance or become something other than human. According to the Baron, body transformation had two purposes: to increase the storage capacity for the transformed energy and elements while enhancing the conductory abilities.
Better storage included quantity as well as quality. The body should be able to hold more energy and handle the enhanced energy state.
Soul Transformation enhanced the soul. It involved meditation and rare resources. Here the baron added a note of caution.
All the information I have included in these notes stems from what I could salvage from the Witch’s secret chamber. There was no trace of the exact resources used for you. You will have to experiment with this.
Hex understood the meaning behind the baron’s note. He encountered such things often in the slum. Some people developed resistance to certain medicines and brews. Only better and often pricier solutions could help them afterward. Sadly, not many could afford the cost and suffered greatly.
Elemental Fusion’s description took Hex some time to understand. It boiled down to storing in his inner space – others had a small void in them to store the elements – and making it part of them. The text spoke of letting the elements become alive and the same as one’s blood and soul. It didn’t explain how to do so, though.
Hex believed he would have to try and experiment to understand it with more clarity. The text did invoke one particular question in him though.
