A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality Side Story: Wang Chan

Wang Chan is not pure evil. He is the ultimate practitioner of the demonic path's rules. Born the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, he possesses the rare talent of a dark spirit root, but is constrained by the sect's allocation of resources and bottlenecks in cultivation. He has no choice but to resort to extreme measures such as political marriages, blood sacrifices, and plunder to break through. He has two central obsessions: first, to master the Blood Spirit Great Art, break through to the Nascent Soul stage, and secure his position at the heart of the Ghost Spirit Sect; second, to eliminate Han Li, an “unexpected variable,” avenge his setback at Yan Family Castle, and uphold his dignity as a demonic-path prodigy. What makes his cultivation journey different is that it revolves throughout around “sect scheming and resource plunder,” rather than Han Li's “solitary exploration and accumulation of lucky opportunities.” It more closely reflects the demonic path's survival rule: the strong prey on the weak, and self-interest comes first.
