Chapter 360 - 357: Path of Divine Weapon
Zhou Yi’s words had a profound impact on Gu Jinlai.
The creators were indeed powerful, but their power was not without cost.
All things have spirits.
The Spirit Realm represents sentient beings, the sun and the moon, everything, time, and space.
One can imagine the immense impact that fully merging with the Spirit Realm would bring.
If a plant suddenly became a human, just adapting to a beating heart, churning stomach, flowing blood, eyes receiving signals, and limbs working would require innumerable amounts of time and energy.
If one cannot properly control this body, coordinating the work of various organs, death will be the only outcome.
"The Cultivator System, when transforming oneself into the semi-energetic form of a Saint Body, must condense an Undying Will. Their Undying Will is meant to confront the impact caused by the change in their life form. Yet, even with an Undying Will and Saint Body, which are still semi-energetic forms that maintain a structure similar to a human body, a large number of Devas fail at the step of becoming a Saint...."
Zhou Yi, looking at Gu Jinlai, remarked with a sigh, "In the three thousand years of Xuanji Sect’s history, over one thousand Devas were born, to be exact, one thousand and forty-four, yet there were only thirty-six Saints. On average, only one in twenty-nine individuals can condense the Holy Body and achieve Saint status."
Even with the foundation of an Undying Will, while maintaining the human body model and transforming the body from a life form to a semi-energetic form, the failure rate is still this low.
