Chapter 79: Dying with Eyes Open

Duan Jinghong's greed was as fervent as a blaze; his Spirit Root was damaged and he could no longer cultivate, leading to years of a dispirited will, delving into the mortal world to enjoy the wondrous taste of power.

However, when midnight dreams revisited, he would feel regret, pondering what realm he might have reached by now if his Spirit Root were not damaged.

Putting aside other things, as one's realm increases, so does their lifespan – something that no amount of money or power can replace.

Therefore, when he discovered that Luo Chen possessed a Spirit Root, his heart surged with excitement, and he immediately took him as an apprentice, nurturing him with great care, intending to send Luo Chen to the White Cloud Sect to obtain divine medicine that could heal his Spirit Root.

Now, his ambitions had grown even larger.

The legacy Shi Hao had received was very likely to surpass even the White Cloud Sect.

This spiraled his greed and also sealed his lips.
