Although it had happened suddenly, and the outcome was incomparably disastrous.
The good news was that he had not exploded on the spot. That was extremely important.
In fact, although he had considered the possibility of exploding only two or three techniques, Li Su had never attempted it—not because he did not dare, but because he could not.

Though it had no way to solve his problem, it had undoubtedly helped him deal with the most troublesome issue after his techniques exploded.
As for the restrictions of the True Immortal realm, and being unable to break through into Taiyi, Li Su had naturally considered that problem as well.
