People always ask why I don't want to cultivate immortality, assuming I'm just putting on airs. The truth is, I have X-ray vision and can see through the truth.
In this world, you can only gain immortal power by letting a monster parasitize you. I want power, but I don't want to become a monster.
At first…
Fellow disciples: Look at that good-for-nothing! What a slow cultivator.
Master: Eat this worm pill, and we'll ascend together.
Monster: You insignificant ant, how dare you challenge me? You must have a death wish.
Later…
Fellow disciples: What kind of immortal art is this? I've never seen anything like it. It's incredible!
Master: Impossible! Why haven't you been assimilated?
Monster: I'm very well-behaved. Could you please be my master?
