Asch took out the spirit stones and cultivation technique so he can start cultivating himself to become powerful, "Oh, so that's why there are spirit stones, this cultivation technique doesn't use the spiritual energy in the world, but the spirit stones.. why though? Probably because the world doesn't have any spiritual energy anymore. Well, no time to think, time to start!" The moment he read the first sentence in the book, a sudden burst of energy filled his entire body, "Wait, I thought there will be some dantian and the like but why heck did I gain powers after reading the first line in the book?! It's even written in modern language again too?! And where's the spiritual stones? It has been all absorbed already?! I'm cheating life guys, I'm feeling sorry for the people living with the same timeline as me.. is what i will never say, HAHA, I am now overpowered! I am not a hypocrite so sorry my ass. I will live my life to the fullest from now on!"
