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

After defeating the puppet, the path to the thatched cottage was completely safe.


Yan Yu found the control mechanism of the Mysterious Realm inside the cottage, which looked like a delicate incense burner, and started to refine it.


The so-called refinement was simple, involving just infusing True Yuan into it, and infusing it fiercely.


The amount of True Yuan needed wasn't much, but the main issue was that refinement took time. Yan Yu roughly estimated that it would take about ten minutes or so to refine the incense burner.


As the pace of the Spiritual Energy Resurgence increased, the difficulty of the Mysterious Realm would also increase, and the time required to refine the control mechanism would extend, possibly even requiring a few hours of work—if there were enemy cultivator teams present in the Mysterious Realm, one would either have to eliminate all the opponents or carry the control mechanism around aimlessly, delaying until it was completely refined.
