In the cultivation world, a cultivator's skeleton undergoes profound transformation as they progress to the Void Tribulation Realm and beyond. These skeletons are often considered indestructible due to their unique composition, energy resonance, and spiritual refinement.
1. Properties of Indestructible Skeletons
• Enhanced Durability:
• Cultivators at the Void Tribulation Realm and above have skeletons that are harder than most legendary-grade artifacts. Even divine-tier techniques often fail to damage them.
• The bones are resistant to physical, elemental, and energy-based attacks, making them impervious to decay or destruction under normal circumstances.
• Spiritual Tempering:
• At this stage, the skeleton becomes a blend of physical matter and spiritual essence. It acts as a reservoir of power, enabling cultivators to channel immense energy without harm.
• This spiritual tempering also grants self-repair properties, allowing minor fractures to heal through energy absorption.
• Law Resonance:
• The skeletons resonate with the laws and Dao insights comprehended by the cultivator. Higher-realm cultivators may have bones inscribed with natural Dao patterns or runes that reflect their understanding of the universe.
2. Why They Are Indestructible
• Tribulation Refinement:
• Surviving heavenly tribulations at this stage tempers the body to a semi-immortal state. The tribulation lightning or fire not only tests the cultivator's strength but also forges their skeleton into a nearly indestructible form.
• Eternal Essence Integration:
• At the Ascendant Realm and higher, the skeleton absorbs eternal essence from the heavens and earth, making it immune to ordinary time and decay.
• Mystical Energy Binding:
• The soul and skeleton are deeply linked. Even if the cultivator dies, the skeleton retains its energy-based resilience unless attacked with specific soul-destroying techniques.
3. Skeleton Significance
• Artifact Crafting:
• Indestructible skeletons are highly prized for forging divine-tier weapons, armor, and formations.
• Fragments of such skeletons can amplify spiritual arrays or act as conduits for heavenly power.
• Inheritance Relics:
• The bones can hold imprints of the cultivator's knowledge, techniques, or memories, serving as a medium for their legacy.
4. Limitations to Indestructibility
• Despite their resilience, special divine-tier techniques or artifacts, such as those imbued with anti-Dao properties or soul-severing powers, can harm or even destroy these skeletons.
• Divine Flames or Corrosive Powers: High-level divine flames or corrosive substances specifically targeting spiritual energy can harm these skeletons.
• Soul Connection: If the cultivator's soul is entirely destroyed, the skeleton loses some of its defensive properties over time, though it remains incredibly durable.

5. Role in Higher Realms
• Void Tribulation Realm: Skeletons act as a foundation for enduring the intense energy of tribulation lightning, becoming semi-immortal.
• Ascendant Realm: At this stage, bones begin to store traces of laws or Dao comprehensions, making them invaluable for study.
• Immortal Ascension Realm: The skeleton may become semi-divine, possessing a brilliance or aura that reflects the cultivator's unique Dao path.
