"Ghost Path Cultivators? Are they cultivators of another cultivation system?"
Lu Ren was astonished.
The Immortal Dao, Divine Dao, and Ghost Dao were all great paths that had given rise to new cultivation systems. The Strange Dao was likely another.

They don't cultivate themselves or reveal their true forms. They kill with borrowed blades, keeping themselves free of karmic ties, and grow stronger by plundering others' cultivation!"

"The stronger a Ghost Path Puppet becomes, the stronger its master becomes!"
