Discarding the physical body and stepping from the Human realm into the Immortal realm extends one's lifespan immensely.
That seems pretty good.
He has read many descriptions of the power of immortals in ancient texts.
Even the Human Emperor who reached the peak of the Human realm, is merely above human immortals and capable of killing true immortals.
Human immortals are beings who have just formed their immortal bodies.
But above true immortals, even the amazing First Generation Human Emperor was helpless.
The power of the Immortal Venerable is immeasurable.
So the path opened up by that Daoist ancestor was indeed a Path to Heaven.
Even being at the peak of the Human realm only grants a mere ten thousand years of life.
In that era, they had no choice but to take this step and head to the upper realm, against their will.
The end is near, the decline of a person's five characteristics, no one wants to feel this powerlessness.
But for Jiang Yuan, it's completely different.
