Origin Soul Ring

In this world, soul beasts and soul plants can cultivate into human form, draw upon the power of heaven and earth, and nurture their own unique soul rings. They need not kill and plunder. Only humans remain bound by the shackles of an ancient race, unable to form soul rings within themselves. If they want to grow stronger, they can only wield a blade and seize the life essence of other beings. A thousand-year-old Azure Origin Ancient Banyan transforms into human form, takes the name Lin Qingmu, and disguises himself as a human to enter a Soul Master Academy. His soul rings all come from years of diligent cultivation, yet he must fabricate tales of countless killings. On one side is his deep-seated hatred for the slaughter of his kin; on the other are the sincere bonds he has formed with his human classmates. When an ancient ruin reveals the truth long buried, a path appears that could free humanity from its shackles. Should they cling to the shortcut of killing and plunder, or pursue the path of self-cultivation, no matter how painful? War engulfs both humans and spirits, and Lin Qingmu finds himself at the heart of the storm. He does not seek to erase hatred completely. He only hopes that the living will no longer have to die to forge glory for others.
