Chapter 240: The Ultimate Level Of Embodiment
The most critical factor was that training to unlock the human body's hidden reserves was far slower than cultivating the methodology transmitted by the Immortal Venerable.
As Li Fan studied these texts, he discovered that the difficulty of unlocking the human body's hidden reserves increased exponentially once a person’s power was equivalent to the Golden Core level.
At that point, it would feel like being chained down by invisible shackles, and every minuscule advancement would require an exorbitant price.
With the same expenditure of effort, the gains from immortal cultivation far surpassed what could be achieved through unlocking the body's hidden reserves.
Moreover, immortal techniques allowed one to command the energy and laws of heaven and earth. How could the human body's inherent strength ever compare?
What was regeneration from a drop of blood compared to the undying state of a Nascent Soul cultivator, who couldn't be killed as long as their grotto-heaven remained intact?
In summary, based on the existing research and deductions by many cultivators, the methodology of unlocking the human body's hidden reserves might allow one achieve power rivaling the immortal path.
But the prerequisite was that one had to leave the environment of the Xuanhuang World.
Just like how the power of firearms and gunpowder is suppressed in this realm, the methodology of unlocking the human body's hidden reserves suffers the same fate.
Li Fan had previously tested the firearms he had brought from Great Xuan to the cultivation world. They were reduced to nearly one percent of their normal firepower. Lethal weapons instantly became children's toys, reduced to worthless scrap metal as Kou Hong had described.
The Xuanhuang World is a world belonging to the path of immortality. Li Fan concluded, cross-referencing his previous experiences. Other power systems are suppressed to varying degrees, as if the Heavenly Dao consciously rejects external forces.
He had already harbored suspicions about this, so the confirmation didn't particularly surprise him.
