Chapter 1707 - 1703: 6 Tails
"Immortality is merely an accessory divine power of the ’Yellow Emperor Sutra’. The true wonder of this skill lies in its ability to simultaneously nourish the body and the soul, increasing their degree of fusion," Fire Spirit Child continued.
"What is the use of that? When advancing to the Great Mahayana Stage, isn’t the body and soul already integrated as one?" Shen Luo asked curiously.
"Achieving the Great Mahayana Stage is indeed marked by the integration of the spirit, body, and heaven, but that is only a preliminary fusion, far from the Perfect Boundary. Perfect soul-body fusion is the goal pursued by every cultivator, which greatly benefits cultivation. Reaching that realm, one’s body and mind become transparent, spiritual contemplation becomes sharp, and whether comprehending skills and powers or channeling spiritual energy for cultivation, it becomes countless times faster than before," Fire Spirit Child explained.
"It seems somewhat similar to a special constitution like the Dao Body?" Shen Luo asked again.
"The so-called Dao Body, firstly, due to numerous meridians, allows faster cultivation speed than ordinary people. But more importantly, their physical body and soul have an inherently high degree of compatibility," Fire Spirit Child said.
Shen Luo nodded slightly, gaining a deeper understanding of the Dao Body’s enhancement in cultivation.
"A high degree of soul-body fusion not only benefits ordinary cultivation but is even more important when breaking through realm bottlenecks. The higher the cultivation level, such as the Taiyi Stage and the Heavenly Venerate Stage, the more highly fused the body and soul need to be when one seeks to break through the realms," Fire Spirit Child explained.
"I see." Shen Luo, who had experience breaking through to the Taiyi Stage and Heavenly Venerate Stage, reflected and found it indeed as Fire Spirit Child had said.
"Your cultivation level is approaching the True Immortal Peak. Focusing more on cultivating this ’Yellow Emperor Sutra’ will greatly assist you in advancing to the Taiyi Stage. With this divine skill and the Taiqing Pill, advancing to the Taiyi Stage should pose no major obstacle," Fire Spirit Child said.
"Thank you for the reminder, Fire Daoist friend, I understand," Shen Luo replied solemnly.
