"Spirit animals are such that have awakened as a result of a mature mana core. This is incredibly rare. Over the course of my life…" Ren read, he had scrolled through so many pages, nearing the last sections of the tome when he spotted a painting of what seemed to be a tortoise, although one that was robed like it was a man, and Ren had to stop. It was what he was looking for. Over the course of the great cultivator Mahābodhivān's life, he had met just one spirit animal, and the cultivator lived for over a hundred years.
This spirit animal according to the pages of the tome awakened when it fell into a pit that happened to be a mana well, and unlike the common occurrence where the unfortunate creature falls in this well and have their body incinerated from the inside out due to the overflowing mana present in mana wells, the tortoise survived, and it, Mahābodhivān and his disciples came together and created the first ever cultivation sect.
