Hearing Tu Shan Jun's murmur, Luo Manping pondered. "Fellow Daoist should know that death is exceedingly difficult to avoid. Even cultivators like us, even more powerful Dao Lords, have no way to delay their appointed death when faced with it."
Tu Shan Jun nodded slightly.

Cultivators could continue existing for a long time after death.
Even if they endured for hundreds or thousands of years, they still did not count as alive.
Even Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators had several clever tricks for such matters. Whether merging with another living being or lingering on in a sealed slumber while awaiting the right moment, none of it counted as living.
Compared to such incomplete existence, reincarnation was a better method, with possession coming second.
