The Dao Integration Realm Late Stage meant gathering the seventy-two fragments within the soul into a more condensed state.
This state stood above scattered Rule Fragments and gradually approached a complete Subordinate Rule. It was somewhat like the feeling of one hundred and eight Rule Granules condensing into a single Rule Fragment.
Because of this special state, the Essence, Qi, Spirit, and Soul of a Dao Integration Realm Late Stage cultivator were far stronger than those of the Dao Integration Realm Mid-stage.
Once one reached the peak of the Dao Integration Realm Late Stage, with one hundred and eight Rule Fragments, breaking through to the Peak Dao Integration Realm required truly fusing the Rule Fragments into a complete Subordinate Rule.
The vast majority of Dao Integration Realm Late Stage cultivators were stuck at this final step, unable to cross it for a long time.
Chen Fei did not need to consider the matter of one hundred and eight Rule Fragments. He only needed to fuse these seventy-two Rule Fragments into that special aggregated state.
This was the most difficult step in breaking through from the Dao Integration Realm Mid-stage to the Dao Integration Realm Late Stage.
There was a powerful repulsive force between the seventy-two fragments, and that repulsion was far stronger than that of other Dao Integration Realm Mid-stage cultivators.
The Rule Fragments of other Dao Integration Realm Mid-stage cultivators at least belonged to the same Subordinate Rule. Even amid their repulsion, there was still attraction.
Chen Fei's seventy-two Rule Fragments contained more than twenty kinds of Subordinate Rules. Their attraction could practically be ignored, while their repulsion had almost reached its peak.
If it were any other Dao Integration Realm Mid-stage cultivator, they could nearly give up all thought of breaking through to the Dao Integration Realm Late
