"This could probably be considered a common ailment among cultivators,"
Lin Zhengying explained, "The erosion of the Remnant Consciousness Whisper is subtle. Most people are taught from a young age that cultivation is harmful. Once they suddenly receive Cultivation Techniques and become cultivators, they naturally do everything possible to hide and hoard their abilities, fearing discovery. Under such circumstances, as long as they don't go through a Contamination Value confirmation and don't actively display their techniques, it's generally difficult for others to detect them... But as they cultivate, the erosion from the Remnant Consciousness Whisper becomes more severe. Even though they still use their original names, internally they might have become a different person without even their own awareness. As a result, their mentality naturally changes. We refer to this kind of change as 'transformation.'
To an Originator, this is common knowledge.
