Amid a cloud of blood mist, Great Sun's immortal-mortal body stiffened.
"Shit!"
"I almost forgot about this lousy Dharma body of mine!"

Today, even the wind smelled sweet. He felt optimistic about everything; nothing looked amiss.
His Dharma body could not keep up with his sword soul. It was an old problem that had appeared when he broke through tens of thousands of years ago.
A Dharma body was the vessel that carried a cultivator through the world, a crystallization of profound immortal-Dao wisdom. It nurtured the sword soul, increased and stored magical power, and amplified a cultivator's ability to mobilize the laws and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

This flaw in his Dharma body had taken root during that breakthrough, and he had never been able to fix it.
The chief reason was a lack of materials for the Dharma body.
It was not that the relevant immortal-Dao science and technology did not exist. He had already broken through to a fourth-step limit sword soul; how could he lack the knowledge for this?
