The return to Samar City was a procession of quiet triumph. The demon slaying team, weary yet undefeated, walked through the city gates with the weight of victory upon their shoulders. Kai, in particular, felt a buoyant sense of anticipation. The pouch containing 1000 peak grade spirit stones clinked softly with each step, a symphony of promise for the breakthrough that lay ahead.

With these spirit stones, Kai could finally cultivate his own unique physique, a milestone in any cultivator's journey. But before he could embark on this pivotal transformation, he needed to gather auxiliary herbs to balance the potent life and creation energy of the genesis root.
