"If I'm not mistaken, the range covered by this purple Heavenly Curtain is the world manifested by my sea of consciousness. If that's the case, wouldn't breaking through the barrier mean I've left my sea of consciousness?"
He thought, somewhat puzzled.
For a powerful soul body, even if it left the sea of consciousness, there wouldn't be any issues in the short term. At his level, he could exist with just his soul body alone.
However, Sterl realized that as one advanced to higher levels, the integrity of the body became increasingly important. The soul and body were inseparable; focusing on the development of only one aspect would never allow one to reach the highest level.
So, Sterl hesitated slightly. After all, he didn't know what lay beyond this barrier.
Without any references or legacy, he was uncertain whether breaking through the barrier would cause irreversible damage to his soul body. These were all things he needed to consider.
