After advancing to become a Grandmaster.
Heaven and earth felt entirely different.
His fleshly body now felt like an outer garment he could cast off at any moment.
Of course.
It was merely a feeling.
Jiang Jingnian did not dare actually abandon his body. He simply stirred his emotions in silence, slowing the erosion of his humanity.
Peerless martial arts were fundamentally different from other martial arts.
The further one cultivated them, the more profound one's martial prowess became.
And the further one drifted from humanity.
Grandmasters were already inhuman, but if an ordinary Grandmaster's degree of inhumanity were rated at one.
Then a Grandmaster who cultivated peerless martial arts would rate at five.
And...
It was still gradually increasing.
Setting aside the issue of humanity for now.
My current lifespan... has probably exceeded three hundred years?
A Grandmaster's lifespan is usually a hundred and fifty years at most. Most only live to a hundred and twenty or thirty.
Only an extremely small number can enjoy a hundred and eighty years of life.
Yet I now have a full three hundred years? Even those Celestial Persons and Martial Saints only have lifespans like that, don't they?
Is this also because of the peerless martial arts?
Jiang Jingnian carefully examined his condition, unable to keep a puzzled expression from his face.
After all.
Even a manifestation of the rules themselves.
A Root Hero only had a lifespan of a few hundred years.
That made it clear.
In this world, strength and lifespan had no definite correlation.
Still.
It was rather strange that his lifespan far exceeded that of other Grandmasters at the same realm.
After a little thought, Jiang Jingnian stopped dwelling on it and turned his attention to his Archetype field.
