The Spring and Autumn Stele Spirit explained on its own.
"This constitution is the manifestation upon living beings from before the universe was born—the mother source of all Dao. It can contain all methods, evolve all things, and return to nothingness. It is called the Chaos Body."
"This constitution hides itself completely, no different from an ordinary body. Yet when cultivating, it possesses extremely powerful compatibility with cultivation arts and energies of any attribute, without any sense of conflict."
"Without conscious guidance, mixed energies will accumulate chaotically within your body, forming dark vortices of chaos. Though they do not clash, they obstruct breakthroughs in realm, making bottlenecks easy to encounter. Resource consumption will also increase drastically, and cultivation speed will be slow."
Moreover, the vortices of chaos formed by the primordial chaos energy within the body were extremely unstable. Like bottomless pits, they would uncontrollably devour the magical power, vital blood, and even soul essence that a cultivator had painstakingly gathered.
On the surface, cultivation efficiency seemed high, but in truth, most of it was swallowed by the black holes, causing realm advancement to become exceedingly slow. This was the greatest bottleneck in the early stages. It felt like cultivating while carrying a black hole that could never be filled on one's back—reaching the highest realm was simply impossible.
In his eyes, the fact that Chu Jiang had managed to cultivate to such a realm was utterly inconceivable.
Only a holy land could barely afford such consumption.
Damn.
After hearing the Spring and Autumn Stele Spirit's words, Chu Jiang suddenly saw the light.
No wonder his talent was already so strong, yet it was as though it had never truly been brought into play. No matter how great one's talent was, cultivation speed would be slashed by more than half.
