A secret that has not been passed down for thousands of years in the world of immortality: spiritual energy is dirty.
Lin Yuan, the lowest-level servant of Tianxuan Sect, was beaten for three years before he learned one thing - there were fragments of "it" living in his Dantian.
The shards can talk, get hungry, and eat. Eat aura, eat memory, eat everything you can.
Every time he uses the power of the fragment, Lin Yuan's skin becomes grayer and his memory loses a layer. He exchanged a broken left shoulder bone for a counterattack and found that he was being assimilated. The end point of assimilation is to become a new container for "it".
Spiritual energy is not a gift from heaven and earth, it is the residue of "its" breath. The sect is not a holy place for cultivating immortals, it is a lock that seals "it". And the fragment in his body was the seed planted by Emperor Swallowing Heaven thousands of years ago - waiting for a person who still retains his humanity to finish the path he has not finished.
Good news: Shards allow him to fight beyond levels.
Bad news: The more you use it, the faster you die.
More bad news: He's not the only one with splinters inside him.
"Then I won't be a human being."
