Soul Annihilation Stage

Regarding realm designations, what exactly did the term [Enlightened Intent Realm] refer to?

Answer: It referred to cultivators who had already become enlightened to their own hearts, gaining a certain degree of understanding of their True Self, with their thoughts consequently flowing more freely.

This naturally granted them a degree of defense against other mental powers, making it difficult for mental impacts, mental charms, and mental illusions triggered from outside to affect them normally.

Before those two layers of round-the-clock defense,

let alone beings of the same realm,

even cultivators whose strength had reached the [True Form Realm] found it difficult to seriously affect
