"Upon death, enter the banner."

"Continue fighting for the sect..."

Yu Long immediately thought of one of the sect's rules.

It encouraged sect disciples, after death, to become yin spirits within the ancestor's treasure. Not only could this benefit their families, but they would also receive preferential treatment from the sect and be granted certain resource advantages.

Of course, everyone understood the price: they would never be reborn for all eternity, unable to enter reincarnation.

For sect disciples whose cultivation was insufficient, this was undoubtedly a path.

The sect had records of reincarnation.

For Qi Refiners and Foundation Establishment cultivators, it was fundamentally impossible for them to remember their past lives. Thus, many cultivators would rather sell their souls to the sect when this life came to its end.

However, Golden Core True Persons had a great chance of awakening their past-life memories in their next lives. For Nascent Soul True Lords like him, if they employed the sect's inherited secret arts, there was also a strong chance of completing "scattering one's cultivation and cultivating anew" through reincarnation.
