[The elder told you that your talent for cultivation was extremely poor, and even if you toiled all your life, it would be difficult to tread the path of cultivation.]

Upon hearing these words, Ye Yu couldn’t help but laugh.

So what if he had a poor talent for cultivation?

Who had the right to say he couldn’t become a cultivator in this lifetime?

As long as he had the Kill to Become a God talent, anything was possible!

[After being rejected, you felt very sad.]

[The farmers who adopted you comforted you carefully.]

[They instilled in you the belief that one’s fate was predetermined.]

[Some are born as ants, while others are born as mountains. These two can’t be compared in the same breath.]

[Just doing what’s within one’s abilities is already a great accomplishment. As for other vague and ethereal things, it’s better to give up early.]

[Although you agreed on the surface, in your heart, you still longed for scenes of flying around as a cultivator, exploring the world.]

[Therefore, whenever you encountered an immortal elder passing by, you would still try your luck.]

[At age 13, over these years, you asked many people, and the answers were surprisingly consistent.]

[That is, your talent is extremely poor, so don’t daydream about cultivation.]

[You felt very sad, but gradually began to accept this fact.]

[The same year, you met a kind-hearted female cultivator who seemed like a fairy.]

[Later you learned she was a disciple of the Wind Thunder Temple.]

[Her name was Ruan Lianyue.]

[Every time she passed through your village, Ruan Lianyue would bring you a sweet and fragrant spirit fruit.]

[And she comforted you, saying that even if you couldn’t cultivate, being an ordinary person was also great.]

[Whenever she had the chance, she would bring you a spirit fruit, saying that longevity was not a problem.]

[At that time, you believed Ruan Lianyue was the most beautiful woman in the world.]

[At age 15, while hunting on the mountain, after every kill, a warm flow would appear in your body.]

[This feeling made you feel refreshed all over, even your strength grew stronger and stronger.]

[From then on, you switched careers to become a hunter.]

[At age 18, you hadn’t seen Ruan Lianyue for a whole year.]

[You felt very uncomfortable.]

[Late at night, you would think of this beautiful woman as if she were a celestial fairy.]

[On your 19th birthday, bandits attacked the village.]

[The entire village was slaughtered.]

[Upon returning from hunting, you witnessed this scene.]

[It felt like the sky was falling.]

[Two days later, after burying the farmers, you picked up your bow and arrow, and with a machete, you spent three days killing all twenty-one nearby bandits.]

[And thus, you stepped into the Qi Refining Realm.]

[Under these circumstances, you discovered this unusual thing about your body. As long as you kill, you can continuously grow stronger.]

[So you began cautiously hunting down those cultivators who had just entered the Qi Refining Realm.]

[Because you realized, these cultivators could provide you with more spiritual power.]

[At 35 years old, you hunted down multiple cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm.]

[Finally, one day, you advanced to the Qi Refining middle stage.]

[But even so, you still only dared to attack cultivators in the early Qi Refining Realm.]

[Because you had no cultivation techniques at all.]

[You could only choose those Qi Refining cultivators with very poor self-defense capabilities. Traps and arrows made it easy to kill them.]

[Moreover, you were very careful.]

[Every few days, you would change your location to avoid being targeted.]

[At 41 years old, you halted at the early Foundation Establishment stage.]

[The benefits from killing Qi Refining cultivators were too low, too low. You couldn’t break through at all.]

[At 43 years old, things took a turn. You accidentally killed a Qi Refining cultivator and obtained a cultivation technique from him named “Wood Control Art.”]

[It allowed you to manipulate trees against enemies.]

[Although not particularly advanced, you cherished it dearly as your first cultivation technique.]

[At 55 years old, you successfully advanced to the Foundation Establishment middle stage using the Wood Control Art.]

[With this technique, joining a righteous sect was not difficult.]

[But you resolutely chose the demonic path.]

[The reason was simple: since you wanted to ruthlessly improve your strength through plundering and killing, the constraints of the righteous path were too great for you.]

[Only the demon dao could offer you more freedom.]

[This behavior also suited your identity and wouldn’t attract attention.]

[At 80 years old, you spent your entire fortune refining a mid-grade artifact, the “Evil Ghost Soul Banner”, and successfully broke through to the Golden Core realm.]

[At 81 years old, you refined tens of thousands of ghosts and infused them into the Soul Banner, making the power of this mid-grade artifact surpass even upper-grade artifacts.]

Ye Yu looked at the Evil Ghost Soul Banner in the scene, and he could clearly feel the tortured souls inside screaming.

At this moment, Ye Yu thought of a saying.

“If you don’t work hard in cultivating today, in the future you’ll become a brother inside my Soul Banner.”

Although it was a joke, it clearly illustrated the current state of the cultivation world.

Weakness is the greatest sin!

Using the Soul Banner is still better than being killed and thrown into the Soul Banner.

[At 85 years old, due to your excessive killing intent, you gained a notorious reputation in the cultivation world.]

[Countless righteous sect cultivators wanted to eliminate you.]

[But because of your actions, you also gained the appreciation of Elder Wu Kefu from the Earth Fiend Sect]

[He harbored the intention to recruit you and gave you a cultivation technique called “Earth Devil Imprisonment Array.”]

[You did not refuse this.]

[Without any background, you also needed a backing.]

[At 105 years old, with the help of Earth Devil Imprisonment Array, you killed more and more cultivators without holding back, and your cultivation rapidly improved.]

[It was also the year you successfully stepped into the Divine Transformation Realm.]

[According to statistics, over the decades, you have killed nearly ten thousand cultivators.]

[Among them, six were from prominent cultivation families.]

[Perhaps you are not the strongest in the Divine Transformation Realm, but you are definitely the one who has killed the most people in the Divine Transformation Realm.]

[As a result, the righteous path placed an extremely high bounty on your life.]

[But you were extremely disdainful of this.]

[As long as they are not afraid of death, they can come at you.]

[But just at this moment, Elder Wu Kefu harbored malicious intentions towards you.]

[He deceived you into a valley and teamed up with two Divine Transformation Realm cultivators, planning to kill you, then collaborate with an independent cultivator to claim the bounty from the righteous path.]

[However, what Elder Wu Kefu didn’t expect was that you were no longer the person you once were.]

[In just a day and a half, you killed Elder Wu Kefu and the other two Divine Transformation Realm cultivators.]

[And you filled their souls into the Soul Banner.]

[The power of this mid-grade artifact once again greatly increased.]

[After the battle, you were severely injured, almost dying.]

[But you stubbornly survived and further advanced, stepping into the mid Divine Transformation Realm.]

[After the Sect Master of the Earth Fiend Sect learned of this incident, he was not angry at all.]

[Instead, he praised you immensely.]

[And subtly inquired, how did a person with a crippled spiritual root manage to cultivate to the Divine Transformation Realm?]

[In his eyes, you saw the same greed as in Elder Wu Kefu’s.]

[So, three years later, on a certain day, you ambushed and killed this Sect Master, becoming the leader of the Earth Fiend Sect.]

[It was also in that year that you once again encountered your moonlight, Ruan Lianyue, from your childhood.]
