Quiet 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

The battle at the Secret Realm of Li Palace was well-known for the heavy losses the onmyoji suffered, yet few knew the extent of the disaster.


The death of Xiandao Jingyin struck a significant blow to the onmyoji's overall morale; the sacrifice of a great number of elite masters led to a shortage of personnel at the Kyoto Yin Yang Institute headquarters, which in fact was even more damaging than the former.


In order to maintain the headquarters' absolute power advantage over the branches, the bigwigs transferred the elite onmyoji from branches all over the country to the headquarters for cultivation. Such measures are not uncommon in the military as well, when a unit suffers heavy losses and the roster is gone, they either disband or recruit new members.
