It was here—the error...
His comprehension of the Body Dao Disk had never stopped.
Just as Xu Xiaoshou planned to start allocating points to the various extended passive skills, goosebumps suddenly rose all over his body.
It was a warning evolved from Unity of Heaven and Man, and also like the sudden premonition after the Way of Will reached perfection. It clearly let him perceive that he had cultivated the Dao in the wrong direction.
The body is form, existence, life...
The reverse side of the body is formlessness, emptiness, extinction...
