Ryu's body soared in strength.
After his Tribulation, he had already been knocking on the door of Lordship with his body, but he hadn't been able to take that final step.
The first reason was a lack of foundation. And the second reason was a lack of comprehension.
The Body Realm wasn't as simple in the God Realms as it was in the previous realms.
In the Mortal, Immortal, and Cosmic Realms, the Body Realm was just a matter of how much pain you could withstand and how much talent was stored in your Bloodlines.
However, in the God Realms, there was a certain essence of spirit involved.
It wasn't quite the same as comprehending a Dao, but one needed to have a comprehension of the body to an intimate level, and part of that secret lay with the Seven Corporeal Spirits.
The real difference between the Qi Realm and the Body Realm, though, was that talent could easily make up for a gap in comprehension with the latter.
