Polite Great Peng King

If a cultivator's physical body collapsed and their divine soul relied on a Rule Divine Artifact to survive, then naturally, they would return to dwell within that artifact.

What surprised Gu Yuanqing was that the path of cultivation in the Exquisite World harbored such a grave hidden danger.

Yet upon further thought, it was only to be expected.

Starting from the Yin-Yang Void Breaking Realm, the cultivation methods of the Exquisite World and the Cultivation World diverged enormously.

Within the Cultivation World, one comprehended the great Dao of heaven, earth, and nature, nurturing Dao Principle Imprints through one's own insights and perfecting one's inner heaven and earth. Though the Heavenly Human World, divine soul, and physical body became one before mutually confirming each other with heaven and earth to form Huntian, this was one's own completeness verified against the world. Everything was achieved through oneself.

The cultivation of the Exquisite World, however, drew the power of Rule Divine Artifacts into the body. It was borrowing an external path, and its foundation had fundamentally changed, no longer based upon one's own Dao.

Although this method made up for the flaw of the Exquisite World's incomplete great Dao and caused combat strength to soar, allowing one to borrow Divine Artifact power within the Exquisite World and stand no weaker than Great Cultivators of the Cultivation World—

Compared to one another, the Cultivation World's method was like a tree with roots sunk deep and firm, capable of growing sky-high on its own. The Exquisite World's method was like a man raising a long pole; eventually, he would reach his limit.

"So, Fellow Daoist believes that the eye I saw upon the Town Abyss Underworld Domain was the divine soul of a past Exquisite World cultivator who once cultivated the Town Abyss Underworld Domain?"
