The Ancestor of the Immortal Spirit was a True Immortal Realm powerhouse from the ancient era of the Cangyun Realm. With extraordinary insight and a foundation in studying runes, he created tens of millions of cultivation techniques for humankind and became its progenitor.
Because of his unparalleled talent, several True Immortal Realm cultivators joined forces to shatter his physical body. But since they practiced the techniques the Ancestor of the Immortal Spirit had created, they couldn’t destroy him completely. They could only scatter and seal his three souls separately, leaving his memories incomplete and hopelessly jumbled, so he could no longer pass on the techniques in his memories.
Hundreds of thousands of years passed in the blink of an eye. The Ancestor of the Immortal Spirit exhausted all his strength to summon Lin Ran from Blue Star.
Taking the form of a ring spirit, he helps Lin Ran cultivate, intending to rebuild his body and return for revenge.
Lin Ran: “Ancestor, your memory may be bad, but you’re incredibly perceptive. Why not learn some runes or cultivation techniques, then pass them on to me by directly imparting the knowledge?”
Ancestor of the Immortal Spirit: “All right.”
Lin Ran: “Ancestor, I want to lie flat. I don’t want to cultivate. You do it for me.”
Ancestor of the Immortal Spirit: “All right.”
Lin Ran: “Ancestor, you’re cultivating too slowly. Pick up the pace! You’re a ring spirit anyway, so stop sleeping.”
Ancestor of the Immortal Spirit: “...All right.”
Lin Ran: “Ancestor, I don’t think going it alone will work. We should marry rich women first, find ourselves a godfather, and gather a bunch of cannon-fodder buddies.”
Ancestor of the Immortal Spirit: “Whatever, whatever. I’m done.”
