As the two discussed the matter, Li Chen added, "As I understand cultivators, their ability to seize stars and grasp moons, to command the workings of heaven and earth, may seem utterly unfettered and omnipotent, but it still has limits. Otherwise, cultivators would already embody the truth and have no need to cultivate."
"Oh?" Qi Maigu's cultivation attainments were far below Li Chen's at this point, and he looked eager to learn.
Li Chen said, "The planetary limit, a mass more than four thousand times that of Guangyun, is the limit of what cultivators in these myriad heavens can move and seize."
The Guangyun Domain was roughly equal in volume and mass to his Past-Life Earth. He was using Guangyun as a stand-in for Earth.
"This excludes the effects of the power of law. Primordial Spirit great powers in the Dharma Body realm may be able to forcibly bind a false yang using their own laws. Legends of ancient cultivators even speak of peerless great powers whose magic power exceeded that of today's cultivators ten thousandfold, uniting the Dao of an entire star system."
"Based on my deductions from the records, if we disregard the properties of the power of law, what pure magic power can move should not exceed the stellar limit, a mass one hundred and fifty times that of an ordinary false yang."
The false yang he spoke of was roughly equivalent to the Sun of his past life. The Sun's mass was three hundred and thirty thousand times Earth's, so one hundred and fifty solar masses came to nearly fifty million Earth masses. That was indeed close to a ten-thousandfold increase, making the legend of that peerless great power fairly credible.
This showed that cultivation in these myriad heavens followed fundamental laws. Even those who cultivated
