The next Day.
Last night, Sam slept like a contented baby, his mind at ease after his little nighttime excursion in the Hailstorm Clan's prison territory.
His decision to create his own army of almost invisible and difficult-to-detect soldiers had a clear purpose.
Soul cultivators were a rare breed, akin to finding a needle in a haystack, and those who possessed soul techniques were even scarcer.
Even among this exclusive group, most could only achieve mediocre results because soul cultivation was an incredibly challenging path, likened to finding true love – it's not an easy feat.
The scarcity of resources, lack of effective methods and techniques that focused on soul cultivation, and the sheer difficulty of the path meant that there were very few who could truly excel in this field.
This rarity was the key to Sam's advantage.
