In the world of Under One Person, the Ascension Realm would probably correspond to the level of a loose immortal in the Chinese Paladin world. As for whether their lifespan was as long as that of Chinese Paladin's loose immortals, that was hard to say. After all, they were different worlds. It was not just lifespan—strength was the same. An Ascension Realm fighter might not necessarily match someone at Xuanxiao's level.
