The Great Daos of Life and Death naturally complemented each other!
But Ren had never expected so many body-tempering arts to be so closely tied to the Life-and-Death Dao. Thinking it over, many of the Primordial World's most powerful body-tempering methods were connected to it!
Take the Nine-Turn Mysterious Technique, the Profound Sect's signature protective art. It was extraordinarily effective at tempering the body, but its core principle was to break down and rebuild.
