"Miss Xia, your words have truly made me see you in a new light!" Jiang Ning said.
"Inspector Jiang, you may consider this carefully. If you do not enter a grotto-heaven world and do not set foot upon the immortal path, then even if you become invincible in the future, you will live only a few hundred years at most. Even if you truly reach the realm of that Martial Saint who stood invincible in this world, you would only live for a thousand years. After a thousand years, you would ultimately become a heap of yellow earth," Xia Wanqin said.
She then took a sip of wine to moisten her throat before continuing.
"Moreover, the environment of heaven and earth is now recovering. Perhaps in a few years, perhaps a few decades, perhaps a few centuries, we immortals will be able to emerge from the grotto-heavens."
"At that time, even a Martial Saint as mighty as the one who has dominated the world for over eight hundred years may have to bow his head."
"However, given that Martial Saint's current condition, he likely will not live to see that day."

"Miss Xia! Is the recovery of the environment of heaven and earth certain? Do you know the reason behind it?"
Xia Wanqin smiled
