"If you have this powerful Spirit Crystal in your disposal, why don't you cultivate it instead? Your cultivation strength would skyrocketing the moment you tapped into its boundless Qi energy, no?" Ash said while studying the intricate Spirit Crystal.
"Unfortunately, I can not. Or rather, I'm not allowed to cultivate its boundless Qi Energy. As you may already know, each Spirit Crystal is an echo of its former being. If a powerful being dies, their corporeal Spirit would return to earth first before their being is reincarnated into a new form of life. This process took a very long time to complete. However, if a being is powerful enough, they could maintain their will and desire while still in their crystal form."
"So, basically, you were saying that the former self of this Spirit Crystal still remains and is sentient at the same time?"
