C239 Grandfather's Sect(2)

Nowadays, when a big shot has business to attend to, they simply give the word and let their underlings handle it. It's not good to be without subordinates!

Adams, recognizing Chu Yi's untapped potential before anyone else, was eager to offer his loyalty.

Yes, that was Adams's line of thinking.

Of course, for Adams, earning Chu Yi's recognition was a greater challenge compared to others. But now, there were no better options.

So, Adams was putting all his chips on Chu Yi.

...

Chu Yi was unaware of Adams's situation, as he had lapsed into unconsciousness.

Though described as unconscious, it was more accurately a self-imposed isolation of his physical body.

If Chu Yi wished to be aware of the external world, he could easily do so.

However, doing that would significantly slow the healing process of his body.

After witnessing the Stellar Fleet's arrival and Lee Zi finding him, Chu Yi confidently surrendered to the self-imposed isolation.

Even though his body remained in a deep state of rest and his consciousness had retreated into isolation, Chu Yi's thoughts persisted.

He wasn't preoccupied with the aftermath of the war or the upcoming college entrance exams.

What truly mattered to Chu Yi was the insight he gained during the battle!

This insight was born from his experiences and feelings in the midst of combat!

Specifically, it pertained to the physical body.

"The potential of the physical body is beyond imagination."

"Moreover, the physical body's requirements for innate talent are not as demanding as one might think!"

If others were privy to these thoughts, they would likely be brought to tears!

Even becoming a Bronze warrior is seen as a sign of genius to the average person.

To reach the ranks of Silver, Gold, or Diamond is to be a genius among geniuses, a freak of nature among freaks.

And to ascend to the status of War God is to be the prodigy of an era!

But for Chu Yi, such beings were no longer significant; there was no longer a need for any particular talent...

Indeed, this was Chu Yi's genuine perspective.

In his view, strong innate talent was unnecessary.

The journey of the physical body was largely influenced by one's bloodline and the essence of life, with other factors playing a minimal role.

However, the combat prowess of the physical body is indeed formidable.

In the Immortal Demon World, the might of the supreme demons is so staggering that it sends shockwaves through the heavens and the earth, causing the entire cosmos to tremble.

Yet...

Typically, demonic cultivators stand no chance against their Immortal Dao counterparts, nor can they compete with Nascent Divinity practitioners.

Moreover, while Nascent Divinity practitioners may progress slowly at first, their cultivation speed in the later stages far surpasses that of demonic cultivators.

Additionally, throughout the countless epochs of the Immortal Demon World, only a select few top-tier Immortal Demons have ever reached the pinnacle of an era.

Immortal cultivators make up ninety percent of these elite.

The remaining ten percent of demonic cultivators who reach such heights do so not merely due to innate talent but because they have awakened some invincible battle bodies.

This is the fundamental reason they can stand at the apex.

Although Chu Yi is aware that it is the Immortal Demon Era, he often subconsciously overlooks the demonic cultivators.

This is also why Chu Yi has merely cultivated his physical body as a vessel for his Primordial Spirit's power, without truly giving it much thought.

However, this time it's a whole different story.

Chu Yi has now experienced the formidable power of his physical form!

Or rather, the transformation it can bring about.

Indeed, his physical body can serve as a robust container, capable of withstanding the dreadful repercussions that follow the deployment of the supreme immortal arts.

Simultaneously, his physical body possesses a level of combat strength beyond imagination.

The primary reason Immortal cultivators surpass demonic cultivators, maintaining dominance over them through countless epochs, lies in the sheer strength of the immortal arts.

The potency of the immortal arts is beyond description, with the power to obliterate the heavens and the earth.

Such force, when amplified by the power of the Immortal Dao, becomes unfathomably immense.

And the cultivators of the Demonic Dao...

It wouldn't be fair to call them unsophisticated, but the power they wield pales in comparison to that of the Immortal Dao cultivators.

The disparity is akin to that between a modern, civilized society and one from a feudal era.

The gap is vast.

Initially, Chu Yi didn't pay much heed, convinced of the invincibility of the Immortal Dao and viewing his physical body as merely a vessel.

Chu Yi had been noticing a shift in his abilities. Gone were the days of his unmatched peak; now, due to the limitations of his physical form, he could only wield a fraction of the immortal arts, and their potency was unimaginably diminished.

Moreover, he couldn't deploy them at will, which compelled Chu Yi to seek methods to enhance his physical strength. For the time being, until he could fully harness his Immortal Dao powers, his physical body remained a priority.

Regrettably, Chu Yi's repertoire of physical cultivation techniques was limited, leaving him without potent offensive skills and forcing him to rely on sheer brute force.

But Chu Yi began to adapt, embracing a groundbreaking concept: What if he could channel the immortal arts through his physical body?

Initially, he experimented with simpler techniques, confident that his primordial spirit could quell any arising threats. His Stellar Combat Body, one of the premier combat forms, reassured him that any mishaps could be remedied.

Thus, Chu Yi embarked on his trials, and the outcomes were enlightening.

The battles that followed revealed that while the modified combat techniques tailored for his body were rough and significantly less powerful than their original form, and even more so when compared to those cast with his soul force, Chu Yi was far from disheartened. On the contrary, he was elated, for he had proven the viability of his new approach.

In a recent clash with two Sky Level War Gods and leaders of the Demon Clan, Chu Yi unleashed the Illusion of the Heavens and Earth, a formidable forbidden art within the Immortal Dao. Even during the Immortal Demon Era, it stood among the most elite of forbidden arts.

Altering its structure to suit his physical capabilities, Chu Yi executed the technique with staggering results. While it may not have matched the grandeur of wielding Immortal Dao power, it was a monumental feat for the body alone.

Consider this: an average Immortal Dao Paragon attempting such a feat would likely deplete their primordial spirit after merely two or three uses.

But if we're talking about the physical body...

The slight loss of power is truly insignificant!

It's fair to say that as long as your body can handle it, using it eight or ten times wouldn't be an issue.

This isn't an exaggeration; it's a fact!

Sure, there's been a significant decrease in power, but the frequency of use has greatly increased!

Moreover, Chu Yi is aware that since he hasn't placed much importance on his physical form, even with his Stellar Combat Body, his power remains average.

But if he were to really concentrate on his physical body, and if he could push it to the limit in every realm...

Then...

"Then, my physical body will transform into a unique entity!"

"While it may lack the instantaneous burst of power compared to the Immortal Dao, its stamina will far exceed it!"

"When you really get down to it, the overall combat effectiveness won't be that different!"

"This could very well be the true path!"

In the context of the previous world, practitioners of the Immortal Dao were akin to mages, while warriors...

Well, they were warriors!

Two distinct paths, yet at their zenith, they converge.

And if one were to merge these two identities...

"Unbeatable strength!"

At this thought, Chu Yi's soul quivers with excitement.

Truth be told, Chu Yi owes his current status to the Immortal Demon Temple. Everything he has can be attributed to the Temple. Without it, Chu Yi would be nothing!

Chu Yi yearns to shed the shackles of the Immortal Demon Temple, to forge a path that is uniquely his. His experimentation with the power of ashes was just one such attempt.

And now, he's pursuing the combined path of Immortal and Demon!

Indeed, even within the Immortal Demon Temple, there's no precedent for this.

The texts of the Immortal Demon Temple chronicle the Immortal and the Demon, detailing the immortal arts and practices that have emerged throughout the countless epochs of the Immortal Demon World.
