The news that Flying Demon would inherit part of Shandal's individuality was incredible. Even if he had ended up in that cursed situation, the god of the Empire was still an entity that had managed to reach the divine ranks!
The process wouldn't be quick, and Flying Demon had to be careful not to ruin himself. After all, individualities were unique, and cultivators couldn't exchange them as if they were techniques or diagrams.
Also, it was risky to imitate someone else's path.
Existences grew in power because they enhanced themselves as they strived for the higher ranks. Still, that made them specialize on a specific path and absorb only the laws connected with their individualities.
That was the reason why cultivators that had reached a certain level of power couldn't change paths anymore. Their entire existence would have become something too specific to go back to a general form.
