Mu Di Bai's protective energy had been lost, and the various techniques he had learned along the way, although not useless at the moment, would quickly lose their value as his cultivation increased.
But, where there were losses, there were gains. In Di Tou's case, entering the Void Returning Stage, his Void Qi had gotten stronger, and his ability to manipulate it had grown stronger as well thanks to the time he had spent immersed in the Void.
All in all, although his current bodily condition hadn't changed much from the time he was in the Nascent Soul Stage, his cultivation system was on the verge of becoming obsolete, so Di Tou's next steps should be figuring out a new system that worked for him, and replacing what could be replaced and abandoning what was no longer useful.
