Defender Envoys first obtain a portion of transcendent power from Demon Evil, then achieve their own breakthrough, thereby ascending to the transcendent level.
As for Martial Artists, they do not need to rely on others' transcendent power but depend on themselves, tempering their Flesh with each advancement and breakthrough, step by step reaching the transcendent level.
If a Grandmaster Martial Artist's Flesh doesn't yet possess many transcendent qualities, then upon advancing to the Grandmaster Realm, a Martial Artist has already entered the transcendent realm.
To put it simply, Shen Changqing had now reached a state where he essentially had no vital points to speak of. Even if his body shattered, as long as he had sufficient energy, he could repair himself immediately. The same was true even if his head exploded. It was just like Shimohe, whose Flesh could burst apart, and yet his Divine Soul could still escape.
