"In a way, the Second Layer Realm does allow you to borrow the Power of Heaven and Earth Origin. As long as there's enough of it, that power is indeed inexhaustible.
You can understand the difference between the First and Second Layer Realms like this: In the First Layer, you can 'see' the Power of Heaven and Earth Origin, but you need to use your Qi Blood Power as a medium to channel it.
In the Second Layer, however, you can 'touch' the Power of Heaven and Earth Origin, and you need a Martial Artist's Essence, Qi, and Spirit to borrow it.
And a Martial Artist's Essence, Qi, and Spirit are inextricably linked to their Martial Arts Power."
Chen Cheng's eyes lit up with understanding. "So, you're saying that even if I can 'touch' the Power of Heaven and Earth Origin, I still have to use my own energy to borrow it, and that process will always consume some Spiritual Power.
It's like how every movement, lifting a hand or taking a step, consumes Spiritual Power."
