"Doesn't cultivating immortality mean you live a very long time?"

An Jing narrowed his eyes, hiding the flickering bloody light in them. "And they can even manufacture Heavenly Spirit Roots? I remember you saying that artificial spirit roots were feasible, but they required a Golden Core cultivator to handle it, and consumed quite a lot of resources."

"To be precise, it requires a peak Golden Core True Lord who has attained 'Immortal Karma,' and it also consumes Five Elements spirit materials of the corresponding attribute. The better the spirit materials, the better the spirit root.

The Fuxie Sword Spirit sighed. "As for long lifespans—well, the longer you live, the more mistakes you make."

"An Jing, not everyone is like you, with every Supernatural Ability they cultivate being useful—say someone focused on body refinement but cultivated a Supernatural Ability that lowered their defense while increasing Divine Consciousness. Wouldn't that be useless? Or say they twisted the advancement path of their Supernatural Ability so they could survive in battle. Then it would no longer be perfect, and they could never advance it again."

"Whether it's mistakes in cultivation, qi deviation, or hitting a bottleneck and being unable to move forward an inch. Even corruption by demonic qi, damaged meridians... the longer one lives, the more errors pile up. By then, do you plan to keep compounding one mistake upon another, cultivate a whole mess of random Supernatural Abilities like some idiot, and muddle through life? Or do you try every possible means to find a perfect body to possess, then cultivate all over again with the experience of your rebirth?"

An Jing fell silent. In his previous life, when he played games during peaceful times, he had liked using his first character to explore and his second to follow the perfect route.
