Intruders

Fame and fortune clouded the eyes of all men.

The most desirable item of all time: longevity.

Everyone wanted that.

The ordinary man might think that saints were the definition of immortality.

Because they only lived for a short hundred years, mortal men were easily impressed by saints.

An experienced practitioner would know better. True immortality, the escape of the reincarnation cycle, was nothing but a futile dream.

Saints were powerful alright, and they lived for a long time.

But they were not resistant to the corrosion of time and age.

It'll catch up with them, eventually.

Who had ever seen a billion-year-old spirit?

So, practitioners knew that the higher your cultivation, the longer you lived!

If you could attain the great sainthood, your mortality would be enhanced for sure!

All practitioners lusted over this grand prize.

To live or to die.

Living was everything.

It was understandable for someone to go manic to achieve this feat.

Duan Peng had shut up.
