Faced with this sudden turn of events, Meng Po was at a loss for what to do.
She simply could not understand the path Chen Xiao was now following.
Meanwhile, Chen Changsheng and Bai Ze were hard at work digging up treasures in the Heavens Forbidden Ground.
Whoosh!
Bai Ze's claws dug frantically through the earth, forcibly unearthing countless massive rocks.
"Chen Changsheng, just what kind of Path of the Physical Body is that brat Chen Xiao following?"
"If you're confident enough to say he's fine, you must understand the mysteries behind it."
"Tell me a little. Satisfy my curiosity."
At those words, Chen Changsheng, who was also digging up rocks, said, "All right. Since you want to know, I'll explain it to you."
"The traditional Path of the Physical Body involves tempering the flesh and strengthening Qi and Blood."
"Although this method can make the body stronger, it ultimately has a ceiling."
"Once a living being's body reaches a certain threshold, it can no longer improve."
"To strengthen it further, the only option is to change bloodlines, such as going from the Human Race to the Beast Race."
"But the Beast Race has its own physical limits, too, so this method is really a road that ends at the chopping block."
"That was why I devised a second method: controlling the body with mental power."
"Controlling the body with mental power?"
A trace of confusion flashed through Bai Ze's eyes at that answer.
"Haven't high-level cultivators always been able to control their bodies with mental power?"
"The way high-level cultivators currently control their bodies with mental power is only its most basic application."
"At most, they can control how their muscles exert force. Very few people can manage deeper control at present."
"Then what does deeper control look like?"
