In his previous life, Jiang Chen read a novel entitled "Eternal Life". The novel featured three thousand incredibly powerful Divine Abilities, known as the Three Thousand Daos.
In that book, the utilization of willpower was far more sophisticated than in the Three Realms. The book's willpower not just enhanced one's practice, but also cultivated Divine Abilities and even refined magical treasures.
It was the power outlined in this book that Jiang Chen coveted, leading him to change his mind about killing demons and monsters; instead, he sought to enlighten them, supplying himself with willpower.
Of course, a novel is just that – a work of fiction. No matter how fantastical its contents, it remains invention. However, the essence of spiritual practice is to make the false real, transforming impossibility into possibility.
Although the contents of the book were made-up, Jiang Chen could transform them into reality through spiritual practice.
