In his young days, as child, Spectral Soul Demon Venerable is an ordinary, if a mischievous child. However, tragedy after tragedy in his family, usually due to machinations of his clan leader grandfather, brought up Spectral Soul's psychopathic and murderous nature. This made him one of the world's most prolific butcher in history, with the mindset to slaughter anything standing in his way. He is also a headstrong person, once he has set his sight on something, he'll try to achieve it even with all the obstacles in his way.
If Fang Yuan is someone who views killing as but a means to an end then Spectral Soul is a madman who views every struggle and obstacle a means to the end of more killing! Even his desire for revival and immortality is but a means to perform more slaughter and bring about greater bloodshed eternally.

Thus, Dang Hun Mountain and Luo Po Valley were the two sacred lands of soul path Gu Master.
Part 3[]
According to Fang Yuan, in history recorded. Trade involving souls had long since existed. Because in Gu World, there were many soul path Gu Immortals. Soul path Gu Worms had appeared since the Immemorial Era, but they had never formed into a path. Only upon the rise of a certain Gu Immortal did soul path get created and flourish. That person was one of the ten venerables in history, Spectral Soul Demon Venerable. He was the creator of soul path, and had also singlehandedly pushed soul path to its peak over history. During his era, out of ten Gu Masters, at least five chose to cultivate soul path. For the cultivation of soul path, the soul was the most important resource. Souls were common Gu Refinement materials needed for the refinement of soul path Gu Worms. In order to create soul path Gu Worms, Spectral Soul Demon Venerable had engaged in massacre and slaughter, to obtain countless souls. Thus, in history, he was also known as the venerable with the most murderous nature. And because he created the rise of soul path, it also made his era filled with endless killing, it was a dark time when the world was in unrest. Because many Gu Masters and Gu Immortals cultivated soul path, they needed to kill and gain souls for their cultivation resources. Thus, during that era, the trading of souls appeared, they were undergone openly and on a grand scale. (Note : Continuation in Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable's page, history part 2)
