Chapter 113 - 107: Burning Out (Congratulations to Alliance Hierarch Yusheng Jiangxiangluan)
"I’ve failed!"
"Spirit Root naturally formed, and in such a short time, I ultimately couldn’t comprehend the marvelous method to modify the Spirit Root..."
"My life was nearing its end, and I had no choice but to rely on the completed Ghost Cultivator secret technique I obtained earlier, as well as a ’Netherworld Earth Vein’ I found within the Secret Realm, to transform into a Ghost Cultivator..."
"Although being a Ghost Cultivator comes with many limitations, such as not being able to leave the Netherworld for long periods and the ease of losing memories, becoming muddled and numb, I managed to maintain my obsession with difficulty by splitting my Divine Soul into two and imprinting them onto each other with the Divine Sense Secret Technique..."
"I created a ’Soul Lamp’, successfully transitioned to Ghost Cultivation, endured endless pain and solitude, and eventually gained a vast amount of time to devise a method to enhance the Spirit Root, which I named ’Blood Sacrifice Technique’... As long as there are kin with the same bloodline and a Spirit Root, their Spirit Root aptitude can be enhanced after a Blood Sacrifice..."
"But almost all of my relatives are dead, and the odds of a Spirit Root appearing among mortals are far too low... Even if I establish an Immortal Cultivation family and try to cultivate descendants, it’s too late, not to mention that I’ve transformed into a Ghost Cultivator and can never have offspring."
"I abandoned this path and instead studied another method, which is ’Possession’!"
"The one who possesses, changes into a new body to dwell in; if I could exchange for a body with a superior Spirit Root, it could solve my predicament..."
"But only a Nascent Soul True Monarch can perform Possession, using their Nascent Soul to occupy the body of another Cultivator... If I were a Nascent Soul True Monarch, I would have had no need to change my Spirit Root... To me, this is an insurmountable obstacle."
"After pondering for hundreds of years, I finally bypassed this vicious cycle and grasped the ’Ghost Infant Skill’, which allows a Ghost Body to temporarily transform into a ’Ghost Infant’ akin to a Nascent Soul, and similarly, could possess others..."
"Because I couldn’t leave, I patiently waited for the Secret Realm to open, and then released inheritances, treasures... to attract outsiders to come, bestowing a great number of resources upon those who passed the numerous tests... just to find a Cultivator with the most exceptional Spirit Root aptitude, the most suitable for my Possession!"
