The Mysterious Immortal Gold Born During Li Ming's Transformation

From what Li Ming had experienced over ten lifetimes, living a Second Lifetime with Immortal Medicine would only make someone slightly stronger than a Great Emperor in their First Lifetime.

She had even needed several attempts to kill a Dark Supreme.

The Undying Heavenly Emperor had also seemed somewhat underwhelming.
