Ever since his son died from practicing a toxic Cultivation Technique, Tang Dingbo had developed a bone-deep hatred for it. He loathed it, yet he could not bring himself to destroy it. Instead, he became obsessed with conquering it personally. He felt he had to master it, no matter the cost.
Now, he had succeeded. A tumultuous mix of grief and joy washed over him, leaving him deeply emotional.
"This Cultivation Technique is truly powerful! As long as I continue to practice methodically, breaking through to Grandmaster is just around the corner!" he exclaimed, his spirit soaring. "With this, I will lead the Tang Sect back to the pinnacle of power and become a world-class super-faction!"
Tang Dingbo leaped down from the cliff, gliding all the way to the Tang Sect headquarters.
CLACK!
With the sound of grinding mechanisms, a man-made passageway slowly revealed itself, leading directly into the heart of the mountain.
"Congratulations, Sect Leader!"
