Li Pao furrowed his brows, a shadow passing through his eyes. "When Wang Hui enslaved me, she was still a mortal with poor aptitude, needing me as a backing to provide her with cultivation resources. So before reaching the Heaven-Human Realm, she wouldn't want to kill me. But once she reaches that realm or finds another powerful ally, gaining a foothold, she will undoubtedly kill me without hesitation and devour my golden finger."

At this point, Li Pao paused, speaking with a hint of fear, "Fortunately, because I seized the Spirit Clan's Jade Bones, which came with a curse, my cultivation couldn't break through to the Heaven-Human Realm, leaving me with little lifespan. Facing this dead end, even the future enslaved me kept sending messages to remind me to go to the Cursed Land and collaborate with those Old Monsters. During this time, the Origin Fragment hidden within me activated again, distorting Wang Hui's abilities, allowing me to briefly regain clarity. It was then that I split off this wisp of soul. After doing all this, I asked those Old Monsters to imprison my soul, so we could survive together on a chessboard. This was the only way to ensure my safety and keep me away from Wang Hui."

"Of course, as a condition, I needed to help those Old Monsters build a True Martial Tomb on the edge of the Cursed Land, filled with various treasures to attract heroes from all over the world for training. This would allow them to select suitable candidates, such as a prodigy who could cultivate the Divine Gate's Jade Bones, to carry the complete soul of an Old Monster, allowing him to be reborn with full memory..."

You carefully ponder Li Pao's words...
