The Third of the Seven Elders! An Internet-Addicted Old Man!

After briefly introducing the Secret Realm, Liu Hesheng switched on his flashlight and led Mu Yun and Qu Ning deeper inside.

According to Liu Hesheng, the Spirit Channeling Secret Realm was enormous, covering over a hundred thousand square kilometers—larger than some provinces in the Pokémon League.

Even among all the Pokémon League's Secret Realms, it ranked among the larger ones.

However, due to environmental issues, the resources here were almost impossible to develop. They were mostly managed by the ancestor-level Pokémon left behind by the ancestors.

"So your family must have a lot of ancestors, then?"

Mu Yun asked curiously.

Ghost Type Pokémon differed from Pokémon of other types. When it came to lifespan, they stood in a league of their own.

According to research on Pokémon lifespans published by the Pokémon Knowledge Network:

Bug Type Pokémon had the shortest lifespans. Before breaking through to Elite Four Level, they only lived about half as long as Pokémon of other types—roughly thirty years.

And those "other types" referred to the fourteen types aside from Ghost Type, Dragon Type, and Grass Type.

Pokémon of those three types happened to be the opposite of Bug Type Pokémon, possessing far longer lifespans.

For example, Dragon Type Pokémon almost never had natural lifespans below a hundred years. Grass Type Pokémon were slightly worse off, but their average maximum lifespan was still around eighty years—long enough to outlive their Trainers.

Even the lowest-level Normal Level Ghost Type Pokémon could easily live beyond two hundred years.

As for Ghost Type Pokémon that had broken through to Elite Four Level, there had never been a recorded case of one dying naturally from exhausting its lifespan.

Even the Pokémon League's researchers had no idea how long they could live.

Looking at it this way,
