Kaku wasn't sure. He turned to Lin Mo.
Lin Mo said without expression, "Not necessarily. Since you know what Planes are, you should know there are countless worlds out there. Searching them one by one, you might not find us in hundreds of years. By then, the rest of us could have been dead for centuries."
"That's a shame," Lin Feng said. "If you could cultivate, once you reached a certain level, you could live hundreds of years longer than ordinary people, even if you couldn't live forever."
"I don't need that," Lin Mo said. "I just want to live this life well. Immortality doesn't sound like a good thing to me."
Lin Mo had no ambition to live forever. He only wanted to spend this life with his crewmates. Whether they lived or died, he wanted to be with them.
"It's too dark here. I'll give everyone some light." Ace grinned and snapped his fingers. A flame appeared on the index finger of his right hand.
That flicker of fire alerted several nocturnal spirit beasts hiding nearby, waiting for a chance to attack the humans.
One of them lunged at Lin Mo and the others. It was half an arm long, with sharp fangs and black fur, and looked rather like a mole.
Kaku kicked the little creature away.
"We shouldn't linger here." Kaku flexed his hands and feet. "Mr. Lu Qi said Trial City is nearby, and it's open these next few days. There should be plenty of people here. Let's find the entrance as soon as we can."
"I'll do it." Ace turned and flew halfway into the air in his half-elemental form.
In the darkness, Ace shone like a little sun. His conspicuous display drew the attention of others searching this wilderness for the entrance.
