This process of breakthrough filled Wang Xuan with a sense of accomplishment and joy, yet the inherent dangers soon emerged. The second true form diagram was exceedingly difficult to cultivate. Despite his ample preparation and the foundation laid by the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body, the Nine Tribulations Mysterious Body, and the Purple Mansion Nourishing Spirit Technique, he eventually encountered problems.0

His skin tore, not from the blood exchange, but from genuine injury to his flesh. Fortunately, the physical wounds were not life-threatening, and he stabilized his condition by consuming the Earth Immortal Spring.1

The Ferryman frowned in concern. The real challenge lay ahead. Within Wang Xuan's body, powerful secret forces flowed through his organs. If these forces were to detonate, it would obliterate his physical form.0
