"Bodhidharma and Laozi were exceptionally rare cultivation prodigies, but I am not. My talent is very ordinary, even far inferior to yours. You are the moon in the sky, while I am but a firefly on the ground," said the Holy Mother of Black Bell. "You can easily cultivate to the Golden Core Realm and then to the Nascent Soul Realm. But I can't. Even with True Qi, I can't break through my bottlenecks. I can only resort to devouring people. For the past three hundred years, I've nurtured many powerful assassins. In the end, they were all eaten by me. Only then did I break through to the Golden Core and Nascent Soul Realms. This is why our organization has no older cultivators."
