I stood inside a secret chamber of the Sect. No one knew about its location. That was the safest place to be while doing that kind of ritual.
I disliked the idea of going into the dark side using that technique, but it was the only way to keep improving my Sect and personal power simultaneously.
After discovering no one had reached the Golden Core stage within the archipelago, I knew very well I would have to return to land to learn the secret to reach it, but that meant death for me.
I was a wanted cultivator who would die within the first day of returning to land. But if I did not return to that place, I would be forever stuck in the Foundation Establishment realm...
That was not something I wanted! My idea was to reach the apex of power, the strongest cultivator in the universe. Why? That would bring me the peace I wished for.
