[The elder told you that your talent for cultivation was extremely poor, and even if you toiled all your life, it would be difficult to tread the path of cultivation.]
Upon hearing these words, Ye Yu couldn't help but laugh.
So what if he had a poor talent for cultivation?
Who had the right to say he couldn't become a cultivator in this lifetime?
As long as he had the Kill to Become a God talent, anything was possible!
[After being rejected, you felt very sad.]
[The farmers who adopted you comforted you carefully.]
[They instilled in you the belief that one's fate was predetermined.]
[Some are born as ants, while others are born as mountains. These two can't be compared in the same breath.]
[Just doing what's within one's abilities is already a great accomplishment. As for other vague and ethereal things, it's better to give up early.]
[Although you agreed on the surface, in your heart, you still longed for scenes of flying around as a cultivator, exploring the world.]
[Therefore, whenever you encountered an immortal elder passing by, you would still try your luck.]
[At age 13, over these years, you asked many people, and the answers were surprisingly consistent.]
[That is, your talent is extremely poor, so don't daydream about cultivation.]
[You felt very sad, but gradually began to accept this fact.]
[The same year, you met a kind-hearted female cultivator who seemed like a fairy.]
[Later you learned she was a disciple of the Wind Thunder Temple.]
[Her name was Ruan Lianyue.]
[Every time she passed through your village, Ruan Lianyue would bring you a sweet and fragrant spirit fruit.]
[And she comforted you, saying that even if you couldn't cultivate, being an ordinary person was also great.]
[Whenever she had the chance, she would bring you a spirit fruit, saying that longevity was not a problem.]
[At that time, you believed Ruan Lianyue was the most beautiful woman in the world.]
[At age 15, while hunting on the mountain, after every kill, a warm flow would appear in your body.]
[This feeling made you feel refreshed all over, even your strength grew stronger and stronger.]
[From then on, you switched careers to become a hunter.]
[At age 18, you hadn't seen Ruan Lianyue for a whole year.]
[You felt very uncomfortable.]
[Late at night, you would think of this beautiful woman as if she were a celestial fairy.]
[On your 19th birthday, bandits attacked the village.]
[The entire village was slaughtered.]
[Upon returning from hunting, you witnessed this scene.]
[It felt like the sky was falling.]
[Two days later, after burying the farmers, you picked up your bow and arrow, and with a machete, you spent three days killing all twenty-one nearby bandits.]
[And thus, you stepped into the Qi Refining Realm.]
[Under these circumstances, you discovered this unusual thing about your body. As long as you kill, you can continuously grow stronger.]
[So you began cautiously hunting down those cultivators who had just entered the Qi Refining Realm.]
[Because you realized, these cultivators could provide you with more spiritual power.]
[At 35 years old, you hunted down multiple cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm.]
[Finally, one day, you advanced to the Qi Refining middle stage.]
[But even so, you still only dared to attack cultivators in the early Qi Refining Realm.]
[Because you had no cultivation techniques at all.]
[You could only choose those Qi Refining cultivators with very poor self-defense capabilities. Traps and arrows made it easy to kill them.]
[Moreover, you were very careful.]
[Every few days, you would change your location to avoid being targeted.]
[At 41 years old, you halted at the early Foundation Establishment stage.]
[The benefits from killing Qi Refining cultivators were too low, too low. You couldn't break through at all.]
[At 43 years old, things took a turn. You accidentally killed a Qi Refining cultivator and obtained a cultivation technique from him named "Wood Control Art."]
[It allowed you to manipulate trees against enemies.]
[Although not particularly advanced, you cherished it dearly as your first cultivation technique.]
[At 55 years old, you successfully advanced to the Foundation Establishment middle stage using the Wood Control Art.]
[With this technique, joining a righteous sect was not difficult.]
[But you resolutely chose the demonic path.]
[The reason was simple: since you wanted to ruthlessly improve your strength through plundering and killing, the constraints of the righteous path were too great for you.]
[Only the demon dao could offer you more freedom.]
[This behavior also suited your identity and wouldn't attract attention.]
[At 80 years old, you spent your entire fortune refining a mid-grade artifact, the "Evil Ghost Soul Banner", and successfully broke through to the Golden Core realm.]
[At 81 years old, you refined tens of thousands of ghosts and infused them into the Soul Banner, making the power of this mid-grade artifact surpass even upper-grade artifacts.]
Ye Yu looked at the Evil Ghost Soul Banner in the scene, and he could clearly feel the tortured souls inside screaming.
At this moment, Ye Yu thought of a saying.
"If you don't work hard in cultivating today, in the future you'll become a brother inside my Soul Banner."
Although it was a joke, it clearly illustrated the current state of the cultivation world.
Weakness is the greatest sin!
Using the Soul Banner is still better than being killed and thrown into the Soul Banner.
[At 85 years old, due to your excessive killing intent, you gained a notorious reputation in the cultivation world.]
[Countless righteous sect cultivators wanted to eliminate you.]
[But because of your actions, you also gained the appreciation of Elder Wu Kefu from the Earth Fiend Sect]
[He harbored the intention to recruit you and gave you a cultivation technique called "Earth Devil Imprisonment Array."]
[You did not refuse this.]
[Without any background, you also needed a backing.]
[At 105 years old, with the help of Earth Devil Imprisonment Array, you killed more and more cultivators without holding back, and your cultivation rapidly improved.]
[It was also the year you successfully stepped into the Divine Transformation Realm.]
[According to statistics, over the decades, you have killed nearly ten thousand cultivators.]
[Among them, six were from prominent cultivation families.]
[Perhaps you are not the strongest in the Divine Transformation Realm, but you are definitely the one who has killed the most people in the Divine Transformation Realm.]
[As a result, the righteous path placed an extremely high bounty on your life.]
[But you were extremely disdainful of this.]
[As long as they are not afraid of death, they can come at you.]
[But just at this moment, Elder Wu Kefu harbored malicious intentions towards you.]
[He deceived you into a valley and teamed up with two Divine Transformation Realm cultivators, planning to kill you, then collaborate with an independent cultivator to claim the bounty from the righteous path.]
[However, what Elder Wu Kefu didn't expect was that you were no longer the person you once were.]
[In just a day and a half, you killed Elder Wu Kefu and the other two Divine Transformation Realm cultivators.]
[And you filled their souls into the Soul Banner.]
[The power of this mid-grade artifact once again greatly increased.]
[After the battle, you were severely injured, almost dying.]
[But you stubbornly survived and further advanced, stepping into the mid Divine Transformation Realm.]
[After the Sect Master of the Earth Fiend Sect learned of this incident, he was not angry at all.]
[Instead, he praised you immensely.]
[And subtly inquired, how did a person with a crippled spiritual root manage to cultivate to the Divine Transformation Realm?]
[In his eyes, you saw the same greed as in Elder Wu Kefu's.]
[So, three years later, on a certain day, you ambushed and killed this Sect Master, becoming the leader of the Earth Fiend Sect.]
[It was also in that year that you once again encountered your moonlight, Ruan Lianyue, from your childhood.]
