Even a clever housewife could not cook without rice.
At this very moment, the Fire of the True Spirit was facing exactly such an awkward predicament.
It did want to seize a body, but there still had to be something available for it to seize.
Lingbo Valley's environment was peculiar. Because it was protected by the Restrictions of the Asura King, ordinary people simply could not set foot there. Only once every three thousand years, when the power of the formation the Asura King had laid down waned, did the Cultivators outside have a chance to enter.
And even then, it was limited only to Cultivators of the Dongxuan and Spirit Division realms.
Logically speaking, that level was not low.
However, what was the Fire of the True Spirit? Once its intelligence awakened, its standards became absurdly high. Dongxuan went without saying; mere Spirit Division-level existences simply did not enter its discerning eyes.
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if it was willing to lower its requirements a little for the sake of seizing a body, it would still be difficult to accomplish. There was no other reason: the Fire of the True Spirit itself was far too powerful.
To merge with it, the requirements for the physical body were simply outrageously high.
