Born into the Demon Race, with Dao Veins innate from birth, they possessed formidable talent for cultivation and long lifespans. They truly were a race favored by heaven.
Yet even long lifespans had their end. The limit of one's years was likewise an age-old problem standing before every demon.
Demons were born with a lifespan of five hundred and eighteen years. So long as no accidents befell them and they suffered no harm, they could live as long as gods.
The very word "demon" was noble from birth. It was only fitting that they enjoyed such blessings.
But where did selfish desire ever end? Who could smile in the face of life and death?
From antiquity to the present, the exploration of lifespan had never ceased.
Extraordinary cultivation was, of course, the proper path of the Great Dao, pursued with all one's might by those of ambition. But the road of cultivation was like climbing a peak barefoot—the higher one went, the more perilous and steep it became... Of ten million demons, scarcely one or two could reach the summit.
Heaven did not cut off the vitality of all things. Beyond the Great Dao, there were also rare paths.
It was said that somewhere in the world stood a Fountain of Youth. Its waters would never run dry; once every three hundred and thirty-three years, it produced a single drop. Ten drops made a mouthful, and drinking it granted immortality.
An ordinary demon who drank it could live as long as a true demon.
If a true demon consumed it, their years could be extended even beyond a true demon's natural lifespan!
The precious spring lay hidden between heaven and earth; demons without fortune would never behold it.
Naturally, Jiang Wang knew nothing of this legend from the Demon Realm.
