With a clearer understanding of his limitations,
Xuan began to focus on possible solutions. First, he would need to heal the damage to his soul, allowing him to cultivate without interruption.
He scanned his memory for any techniques or resources he could use.
Xuan soon remembered a technique from his past life, an ancient method called Soul Restoration Art.
This technique, though challenging, could repair soul damage over time by channeling energy directly into the damaged areas.
Xuan murmured to himself and said: "It won't be easy… but it's my best chance to stabilize the damage."
The Soul Restoration Art required precise control over his energy, more so than any standard cultivation technique. The process would be slow and draining, but Xuan was determined. He had faced greater challenges before, and he would do whatever it took to reclaim his strength.
He took a deep breath, centering himself, and began to channel his energy inward. His focus was sharp, each movement deliberate as he directed energy toward the wounded areas of his soul.
The pain flared as the energy made contact, but he held steady, keeping his mind focused on healing.
Hours passed as Xuan worked through the technique, inching closer to stability. The pain had subsided slightly, but the process was far from complete.
Xuan thought to himself and said:"This is only a temporary setback. I've conquered greater obstacles… and I'll conquer this one too."
Despite the damage, Xuan felt a renewed sense of purpose. This challenge served as a reminder of his journey, of the growth he would need to undergo to reclaim the title of Space Emperor.
He would not allow limitations to hold him back.
As he rose, he cast one last glance at the floating crystal, the source of the palace's power. One day, he knew he would return to it
Xuan's voice filled with resolve: "I may be bound by the Golden Core Realm for now, but it's only the beginning. I will rise beyond this."
With a determination, he left the hall, his steps echoing through the vast palace.
