The power of the disaster rushed through his body like a flood, a crushing force that swept through every limb and bone, penetrating every hair-thin meridian. This process was lengthy, and tempering the body with natural disasters could not be rushed. Any impatience that prevented the physical body from suppressing the disaster would result in, at best, severe injury, and at worst, an exploding body.
"Tempering the body with natural disasters—this is the path of a heterodox cultivator. To think he is a practitioner of the old path."
Perched upon a blue rock, Pang Rou, who sat like a sculpture of ice, opened her eyes in disbelief. In the Immortal Land, the heterodox path of cultivation is known as the path of no return. It suffers from many flaws; primarily, it lacks a systematic methodology. Most importantly, the power of a natural disaster is immeasurable; for a cultivator to dream of utilizing it perfectly to temper their body is nothing short of madness. Thus, in the Cangyuan Realm, while heterodox forces are not weak, they do not flourish as they do in the Immortal Land, where generations of powerful figures have passed down perfect, systematic cultivation techniques with low rates of failure. To Pang Rou, using natural disasters to cultivate was clearly self-torture.
