Chapter 1824
That is why Chen Xuan was extremely cautious during this seclusion, and dared not be careless in any step.
The cultivation of the body and the cultivation of qi are two completely different paths.
In the path of Qi Refining, as long as a cultivator has a deep enough understanding of the Great Dao, breakthroughs in realms often happen naturally and can occur at any time.
But the Divine Demon Body Refinement is different. Its realm is never a competition on the surface. Those unseen "invisible thresholds" are the most difficult barriers to overcome. Perhaps what is lacking is an ultimate refinement of the physical body, or perhaps what is lacking is a precise control of power. If one is not careful, one will stagnate.
This is why Chen Xuan made extremely rapid progress in the path of Qi Refining, breaking through from the mid-stage to the late-stage of the Returning to Emptiness Realm in just three years and stabilizing his realm in half a year; however, in the path of gods and demons, it takes much more time and effort to quickly break through to the mid-to-late stage.
Fortunately, Chen Xuan had a deep foundation and had also inherited many classic texts during this period.
Especially in Qilin City, thanks to his deep connection with the city, he was able to enter the Daoist Canon Hall, which had been passed down for millions of years. There, he read through countless ancient books and even gained valuable cultivation experience left by the predecessors who refined bodies like gods and demons.
This invaluable knowledge illuminated his path of cultivation like a guiding light, giving him an incredibly clear understanding of his own path to divinity and demonic power, and saving him from many detours.
Now, with the small tower's hundredfold time flow speed, Chen Xuan is able to calm down and steadily improve his Crimson Bright Divine Body step by step. However, he has no master to guide him at the moment, and all his cultivation can only rely on his own control over his physical body, exploring and progressing little by little, taking each step with extreme caution.
The small tower remained suspended to the side, constantly watching over Chen Xuan's safety.
It knew better than anyone that the Divine Demon Body Refinement was extremely dangerous. Once a mistake was made in cultivation, it was not as simple as just destroying the physical body—at best, half a lifetime of accumulated Divine Demon cultivation would be lost, and at worst, even life itself might be in danger. At that time, Chen Xuan would have no choice but to completely abandon body refinement and focus on cultivating Qi.
On several occasions, when Chen Xuan was refining the Chaos Crystal, the energy flow went astray, and even tiny cracks appeared on the surface of his physical body.
Seeing this, the patterns on the tower body flickered rapidly, and several times it tried to interrupt Chen Xuan's cultivation by transmitting its voice directly, so as to help him correct the key points of his cultivation.
Fortunately, it held back in the end—because whenever Chen Xuan was in such a critical moment, he was always able to quickly find the problem and correct the operating route in time, turning danger into safety, thanks to his precise control over his physical body.
During those close calls, Xiaota held his breath, his heart pounding in his throat.
Normally, it always looked down on Chen Xuan, and would often suppress, mock, and provoke him, but when it came to the crucial moment, it was more worried than anyone else.
After all, from the ancient times of immortality to the present, among the younger generation of cultivators, the Little Tower has never seen a prodigy who can compare with Chen Xuan's talent in the short few years since he embarked on the path of cultivation, especially his amazing comprehension when he comprehended the Dao.
"This kid is terrifying!" Seeing Chen Xuan once again risking his life to forcibly absorb the Chaos Crystal, Xiao Ta couldn't help but growl inwardly, "How violent is the energy of that Chaos Crystal? Does he have a death wish? Does he really think his meridians are tough enough to withstand the power of chaos? He's just reckless!"
Fortunately, Chen Xuan was able to stop his almost frantic absorption in time every time he reached a critical point, and forcefully suppressed the danger—otherwise, the little tower would have really disregarded his cultivation rhythm and forcibly interrupted him.
"This kid is such a worry. Ever since he woke me up, he hasn't been well-behaved at all." Xiao Ta sighed helplessly, his tone full of resentment, but if you listened carefully, you could also detect a hint of hidden approval.
