The same night, Huang Yue sent over the outline of the Great Aspiration Divine Connection.

The outline was not a cultivation manual, but a theoretical primer for before one began cultivating a divine connection, a thorough treatise on the subject matter.

Spirit Will substantialization was how Heart Demons came to be.

To put it simply, human thoughts gradually substantialized because of cultivation, becoming existences that were half-illusion and half-real. These could be divided into two categories: Divine Will and Demonic Will. The latter were Heart Demons.

Heart Demons rose from those evil thoughts and wills that could not be controlled, as well as past misgivings, and hidden desire. All of them would be triggered and assume physical form. By destroying them, one would overcome one's Heart Demons. If not destroyed, the Demonic Will would enter the body, either causing one to suffer energy corruption or transforming one into a demon.
