'A gorilla-like body,' Ji'an thought, a cold sweat breaking out on the back of her neck as she stared into the dying embers of the hearth. 'If I cultivated the external path and turned into a hulking, eight-foot-tall wall of muscle... it would be an unmitigated disaster.'
First and foremost, there was the sheer biological reality she was hiding.
She was a girl. A freaking... girl!!!
The Yin-Yang Void Locket currently fused into her spiritual sea was a supreme artifact, yes. It perfectly projected the physical appearance, voice, and spiritual signature of a young male cultivator.
But it was an illusion. It warped perception. It didn't actually change her underlying bone structure or her biological anatomy.
If she started cultivating a technique designed to turn a man into a giant, hulking behemoth... what would happen to her actual body underneath the illusion?
Would the artifact be able to compensate for that level of extreme physical disparity?
