Ghostly Blessing

In my previous life, I was half a move short and ultimately failed to reach the summit.
Having traveled back to the past, this time... I want to become the strongest in this world!
To become the strongest in this world, one only needs three simple steps:
1. Pick up a newly-transferred Demonic Sect Enchantress off the streets.
2. Subdue and vanquish the demon.
3. Take her cultivation technique for myself.
Awesome! I'm already invincible!

Years later, Yan Yu, who had earned the title of "the strongest," was interviewed on television:
Host: To whom do you want to give thanks for your success today?
Yan Yu: I'd like to thank a very important woman to me.
Host (eyes lighting up): Oh, is she your wise and virtuous wife?
Yan Yu: No, consider her a stepping stone, I suppose.
Host (wiping sweat): Then... what about the other members of your team? They must have helped you as well, right?
Yan Yu: ... How could there possibly be only one stepping stone on the path to godhood?

Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest

"Regarding the question of which direction to explore first," Yan Yu quickly convinced the three military cultivators to follow his advice with his agile mind.


Everyone activated their Shifting Technique and raced toward the direction of the cliff like a gale of wind.


Upon reaching the edge of the dense forest, they all stopped as if by an unspoken agreement.


An icy wind came from within the woods. When it brushed against them, everyone felt their hair stand on end and couldn't help but get goosebumps.


It seems like a demonic wind, doesn't it? Yan Yu glanced inside and saw the tree crowns blotting out the sky, the light in the forest dim, with chilling winds and ghostly shadows swirling about. It was almost as if there should be a sign outside saying "Demons and ghosts reside within these woods."
