Chapter 2404 - Incomplete (1) (1/2)

Dyon's meridians and blood vessels soon became thick, raging rivers. In the past, his blood vessels and meridian pathways were almost like thin capillaries running through his body, bȧrėly a tenth of a centimeter in width, the largest were only about two centimeters wide. Only his 117 meridians were slightly larger, having about an inch to two of diameter to them.

One can see how shocking such a thing was. Dyon was able to display so much despite their exaggeratedly small size. Just how much power would he have if they were only a small percentage point larger? What if they doubled in size?

The reason one had to improve the quality of the qi from Essence to Saint to Celestial and finally to Enigmatic was precisely because of this small size. There was a little to how much power they could produce. As such, one had no choice but to raise the grade of their energy.

Unfortunately, vital qi both couldn't be pulled from the atmosphere, and only had one level of quality to it. One can easily see, then, how body cultivation was even more limited in this regard, meaning that the widening of blood vessels would have an even more pronounced effect!

Theoretically, if one's meridians were thick enough, you could produce just as much power as a Dao expert even while within the Essence Gathering Realm!

It was here that Dyon ran into a problem. He obviously couldn't expand in meridians and blood vessels infinitely. After all, his body had limited space within it.

Even if he suffered a loss and built himself larger, he'd run into the same problems Giants did. The larger his body, the more qi and vital qi he needed to produce the same force. It was a simple principle even mortals knew about, known as the square cube law.

For every proportional size increase, volume would increase by a cube, but surface area would only advance by the square. This meant that mass increased exponentially even in relation to the surface area of a body, which meant large bodies lacked the strength to move themselves.

Giants circumvented these laws with their own special methods, but in the end, it only gave them a marginally higher average strength in comparison to normal sized humans.

Dyon's mind continued to spin, calculating madly.

Saru and Lilith, seemingly knowing that he would stay in this state for maybe even longer than the past half year, made their way to the entrance of Dyon's den. They couldn't allow anything to disturb him during this time.

Dyon's thoughts blinked away almost as soon as they appeared. He sifted through and threw out dozens of ideas in split seconds, focusing his entire mind on his task.

In a moment, he suddenly thought of his Mind's Eye.

His Mind's Eye was where his soul qi was stored. Over time, it had evolved from a world of golden fog to one filled with a thick ocean of what looked like melted gold.
