Seeking the Dao at the Edge of the Void

The spring breeze is faint, but the cold remains. Several carrion crows circle overhead, drawn by the thick smell of blood. Perhaps this is the difference between humans and half-demons. Humans are born in environments with little spiritual energy. To adapt, they first evolved souls and intelligence, and so they cannot gain enough power. Even if humans were allowed to endure this suffering, they still could not cultivate this way. Humans have wisdom and spiritual nature, but their bodies are far too fragile and complex, and their lifespans are too short! There simply isn't enough time to take things slowly, to wear away at it bit by bit.
