In the Qi Binding Realm, cultivators condense their Dan Core within their bodies in preparation for the subsequent stage of Dan formation. However, the size and density of each person's Dan Core vary significantly; some cultivators produce a small Dan Core, while others create a larger one, akin to the difference between an egg yolk and a whole egg.
The relationship between the size of the Dan Core and the Dan Tian is quite complex, but most people adhere to a basic principle: the broader the Dan Tian, the stronger the cultivator. In the Qi Binding Realm, Dan Tian expands; some may only see a slight increase, while others can achieve a doubling or even multiple times their original capacity.
Lu Xun repeatedly warned Mo Wen not to underestimate these differences. The combined effect of the size of the Dan Core and the capacity of the Dan Tian can result in disparities between cultivators that reach dozens of times. A slight advantage in each realm can accumulate into a qualitative change over time, while falling behind in every realm may lead to having no strength at all.
Cultivators who excel in the Qi Binding Realm can easily battle above their level, whereas those who barely manage to enter this realm or rely on other means to do so will naturally lack power. It is not uncommon for a Qi Binding Realm cultivator to be easily defeated by a Golden Body Realm cultivator. The root cause of such disparities lies in the accumulation of differences from previous realms. Some cultivators arrive at this realm only to find a vast gap in strength and wish to start over, but it is often too late. This gap continues to accumulate in subsequent realms.
As for Mo Wen, his primary concern was what level he could achieve. Previously, during his time in the Warrior Stage, he had already fought beyond his level and killed a Toe Bear with combat power equivalent to that of a mid-stage Heavenly Unity Realm warrior while in the Refining Qi Realm—an entire realm and a half difference. However, Old Lu informed him that while he could certainly fight above his level, replicating his previous feat of defeating an opponent one and a half realms higher would be unlikely. As one progresses, the strength gaps between realms widen, making cross-realm battles increasingly difficult. Two or three Refining Qi Realm warriors could take down a Heavenly Unity Realm martial artist, yet even ten Golden Body Realm cultivators would struggle against a single Qi Binding Realm cultivator. As for how far Mo Wen could go, Old Lu merely stated that he would find out in due time.
After hearing Old Lu's words, Mo Wen felt even more anxious; after all, he had never experienced combat against other humans. Demon Beasts lacked the intelligence and combat skills that humans possessed, and what he desired was to be the strongest among his peers.
"Have an invincible mindset while maintaining humility and caution," Old Lu advised. "As for the situation in neighboring countries, I can't provide much information since I haven't kept track and lack relevant materials. I only have this map for you; you'll have to explore the rest on your own—the unknown is where the fun lies."
Having received a map from Old Lu and learned some knowledge about refining weapons, Mo Wen realized that Old Lu couldn't share too much since he himself had yet to refine any weapons. Thus, he handed Mo Wen a book about various materials along with another on weapon crafting—these books were rare outside but were nothing special to Old Lu.
After coming to terms with his separation from Old Lu, Mo Wen set about resuming his cultivation. He had already wasted considerable time on this matter and needed to quickly perfect his Body Speed Realm. He was curious about Old Lu's rival and had tentatively asked him about it; however, Old Lu remained tight-lipped. Yet from Old Lu's demeanor, it seemed their relationship resembled that of lovers caught in a cycle of love and conflict as described in tales.
