Only after they succeeded in transcending their tribulations and truly ascended to become immortals
could their lifespans undergo a qualitative transformation.
Therefore,
if Great Ascension cultivators possessed lifespans of over a hundred thousand years,
then Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivators would likely gain some additional lifespan according to their progress in transcending tribulation.
But, generally speaking,
even if they were on the verge of becoming immortals,
the lifespan of a Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivator would not exceed two hundred thousand years.
And because of this,
when He Song discovered that this broken sword had been left here for a million years,
he immediately understood
that the owner of this broken sword had most likely long since died somewhere.
Otherwise,
he could never have failed to return for a million years to retrieve his own broken sword.
As for the possibility that this sword had belonged to an immortal,
He Song had considered it as well.
But
he did not think the odds were particularly high.
Although this sword was powerful, He Song had not sensed any even stronger aura within it.
If it were an immortal sword,

Moreover,
even if this sword were an immortal sword,
then its owner had at least been an immortal.
What reason could there be for an immortal to spend a million years without returning to seek this broken sword?
One possibility was
