'As I thought.'
Jiang Yi was not surprised at all. The martial arts of the Twelve Changes of the Mortal Realm focused only on tempering muscles, bones, and skin, and forging the physical body. This was very similar to the Yin Puppet Sect of Beimang Ridge's methods for cultivating "human talent" and "technique materials."
'According to the cultivation system of the Yanfu Vast Land, anyone who lacks a complete union of Life and Essence is considered inferior.'
The Qi Cultivation techniques, and even the Foundation Establishment techniques, passed down through the various Daoist Lineages all expounded upon a single principle.
Essence relies on Life to stand; Life depends on Essence to exist.
The physical body is Life. It is the Cultivation Furnace, the treasured raft to cross the sea. If it isn't solid and firm, one will sink into the sea of bitterness, no matter how heaven-defying one's abilities are.
