When Lu Qingya climbed out of the well, he still held half of the spiritual root in his palm, which was as warm as a dying snake.
He worked as the lowest servant in Taiyue Sect for ten years. At the first level of Qi refining, with all five elements, he was destined to be crushed in the eyes of everyone. Until his senior brother kicked him into a dry well, and when he was about to die, he bit the other man's throat. The gray stone came to life.
He can swallow the spiritual roots of others to supplement himself. Every time one's cultivation skyrockets, another person's memories, emotions, and obsessions flow into the sea of consciousness. He becomes stronger and less and less like himself.
The Taiyue Sect said that he was the reincarnation of an ancient demon cultivator and was wanted by the entire sect. Zhou Tianlu led the evil-killing alliance to pursue them and determined that all Devourers deserved to die. Uncle Qin, the mortal old man who raised him, died at the entrance of the village with his fingers broken, without uttering a word until his death. His mother left him a gray stone, the surname "Lu", and the sentence "Don't come back."
There is an older legend circulating in the world of immortality: Those who have all five elements are not waste spiritual roots, but "spiritual feeding bodies" - containers used by heaven to feed the laws. The person who created the Devouring Law is called Taichu Yuanjun. He had been waiting for Lu Qingya for many thousands of years.
But this time, Lu Qingya didn't intend to become anyone else.
Every step to become stronger has a price. Every obsession is a shackle. What he has to do is carry all the shackles on his back to the end and ask God:
"Who am I?"
A life of consistent hard work and no slacking off
Look at the suspicious eyes of others like a will-o'-the-wisp, and boldly go your way at night
The starlight does not care about the passers-by, and time pays off to those who are willing to do so.
I can endure the loneliness, I can hide in the sea of stars!
Hard times can't take away one's ambition, but there will be a time to succeed if you don't die.
When you can't hold on any longer, you can't hold on even if it's difficult.
A life of consistent hard work and no slacking off
