"Ancestor, please accept my condolences."
"To have it was my fortune, to lose it was my fate. To live another lifetime is sheer luck. In the past, I lived to become immortal. My life flew by in a hundred years, half of which was spent in secluded cultivation. Now that the path to immortality has been severed, it is time for a change in how I live."
"The Ancestor jests. Although you can't become immortal, you've injected the Longevity Elixir. Doesn't that grant you eternal life, making you undying like the gods? How is that different from being immortal?" Yu Ruoyun asked anxiously.
Usually, when one at their peak changes their way of life, they remain at their peak. King Jiangshan was once wholly dedicated to the pursuit of immortality, disdaining worldly honors and riches. Now that the immortal path is cut off, there is a fear that King Jiangshan might shift his pursuits from immortality to a quest for imperial hegemony.
