Ghost Granny
Ghost Granny's real name was Zhao Yulin. She came from the Heavenly Ghost Sect, one of the few Demonic Dao sects on Taibai Star, renowned across the star for ghost-driving and yao-subduing.
Zhao Yulin possessed an extremely rare Dark Spiritual Root, which made cultivating Demonic Dao techniques twice as effective with half the effort. The Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Ghost Sect took her as a direct disciple, freeing her from worries about Cultivation Resources and allowing her to focus entirely on cultivation.
Before she was even fifty, she had achieved Core Formation, becoming the youngest Nascent Soul Cultivator in the Heavenly Ghost Sect.
Unfortunately, after the sect's Supreme Elder passed away, the Heavenly Ghost Sect's leaders fell into infighting and attacked one another. Zhao Yulin's husband died a gruesome death in the conflict.
Zhao Yulin avenged him with her own hands, then led some of the Heavenly Ghost Sect's disciples to Taibai City, where she founded the Heavenly Ghost Cult. Because she excelled at driving ghosts and subduing yao, Righteous Path cultivators called her Ghost Granny.
Through her own efforts, she entered the Spirit Transmutation Realm at the age of four hundred, becoming one of the most influential powers in Taibai City.
After several centuries of painstaking effort, the Heavenly Ghost Cult had tens of thousands of members, its disciples spread across more than half of Taibai Star.
Two hundred years ago, several Core Formation Realm disciples of the Heavenly Ghost Cult were killed by a Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Righteous Path sect Tianyi Sect, who used overwhelming force. Ghost Granny stormed Tianyi Sect alone. With three thousand ghostly creatures at her command, she wiped out the sect; not one of its more than ten thousand cultivators survived. Her fearsome reputation resounded across Taibai Star.
