For cultivators in the Earth Immortal Realm, the strength of the immortal body was of utmost importance.
Even though the Straw Cape Sword Immortal was not a body cultivator, and Wang Daoyuan's physical body surpassed that of cultivators at the same level,
Wang Daoyuan had yet to complete the First Turn body refinement. Compared to the Straw Cape Sword Immortal, who had completed three turns of body refinement, his physical body was still far inferior.
A powerful physical body in the Earth Immortal Realm could not only withstand punishment, but also mobilize more Heavenly Dao Power at once, making one's attacks even more formidable.
Moreover, drawing upon Heavenly Dao Power placed tremendous pressure on the physical body.
The immortal body of a Third Turn Earth Immortal could endure far longer than that of a First Turn Earth Immortal.
In a prolonged battle, cultivators with stronger Physical Bodies naturally held the advantage.
The Straw Cape Sword Immortal waved his hand. "Your Five Elements Sword Domain is at its weakest when it first forms. The longer it drags on, the greater its power becomes.
That strike just now did not bring out your peak combat strength, while I had already exhausted every means at my disposal.
If we continued, I still would not be your match."
Wang Daoyuan wanted to say more, but the Straw Cape Sword Immortal waved his hand again. "There is no need to comfort me. I have lived for over two hundred thousand years. You are not the only rising star to surpass me.
If I could not even see through something like this, would I not have lived all these years in vain?"
Wang Daoyuan cupped his hands. "Senior Uncle is broad-minded. This disciple can only gaze after you from afar."
"You need not flatter me either.
