The Ksitigarbha Twelve-Winged Scorpion Demon had reached a bottleneck at his current level of cultivation. He longed to obtain the Law-Tempered Demon Body of the Single-Ant Demon, but a barrier he could not break through still stood between him and that realm.
The Scorpion Demon had previously lacked much direction. While in Luoyang Prison, he had simply cultivated as he always did, and his progress had already slowed considerably.
