"This restriction is actually a good thing. At least I don't have to worry about my true essence bursting my Dantian!"
Qin Shujian discovered that this restriction had another benefit.
It meant he could increase his true essence without worry.
He did not need to fear that his true essence would exceed his body's limits and rupture his Dantian.
The black mesh was a restriction.
But it was also a form of protection.
For others, of course, it was more of a restriction than protection.
But for Qin Shujian...
The black mesh's existence was actually a good thing.
He could increase his true essence without worry.
He could develop his cultivation techniques without restraint.
Then, step by step, he could condense Four Cosmic Heavenly Locks and safely raise his strength to the point where he could break the true domain shackles.
"Cultivators in the true martial realm live for between a hundred and fifty and two hundred years. Even a genius needs several years, or even more than a decade, to cultivate a true rank technique to perfection.
"Many others might need several decades."
"Moreover, once a technique reaches perfection, the Dantian is already filled to capacity. Continuing to cultivate techniques to increase its capacity for true essence isn't something that can be achieved simply by following the usual steps."
"After all, once a cup is full of water, it's difficult to add more without letting it overflow."
"But by using life source to improve, I can keep compressing my true essence within my Dantian's actual capacity, giving each drop of liquefied true essence several times the power of ordinary true essence."
"This—is my advantage!"
Qin Shujian silently analyzed his own condition.
At the same time...
He felt heartfelt admiration for those powerhouses who had broken the true domain shackles
