Although Zong Qiming took his own bones, his spiritual power continued to flow without hindrance.

Spiritual power turns into spiritual bones, which can also support the body.

So, in his opinion, simply digging out the ribs would have basically no major impact.

The ancestor is really too kind.

"Yes, ancestor."

He walked slowly a few steps, came to Zong Shen's side and sat down.

"How does it feel to have both ribs gouged out?"

Zong Shen asked casually.

Zong Qiming was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect the ancestor to ask this question.

After thinking for a moment, he answered honestly.

"It hurts. It hurts a lot."

Zong Shen stood up and patted his shoulder.

"So do you think there's any difference in how you move after losing both ribs?"

Zong Qiming was stunned.

This time, it took a full while before he spoke.

"I felt so relaxed, like I'd never felt so relaxed before."

Zong Shen smiled.

"Now, do you understand why your cultivation has been stuck in the same place and unable to make any progress?"

"Your bones are dispensable. They can't even support your body. Although you have good understanding, you have neglected to cultivate your body."

"If the Dao body cannot be united, how can one make progress?"

Zong Shen's voice, like the sound of heaven, penetrated deep into his soul.

It cleared up all his confusions and opened his eyes.

I could actually vaguely touch the threshold of the 25th level of the Dharma Realm.

If he hadn't just been promoted recently and hadn't accumulated enough experience, he would probably have to advance to the next level!

Zong Shen's words made him suddenly enlightened.

I have gained a lot of insights into the path of cultivation.

"Thank you, Old Ancestor, for your guidance!"

"One word from the ancestor is worth more than Qiming sitting in silence for ten thousand years!"

He was ecstatic and stood up to kneel.

"Alright, alright, stop kneeling."

Zong Shen waved his hand, and a ball of pure light appeared in his palm.

"I will equip you with Yue'er's pure bones now."
