Lin Mu's answer silenced several people.
They had expected some grand explanation, perhaps a hidden treasure or an ancient inheritance. Instead, Lin Mu had dismissed their concerns as though they were discussing something trivial.
Yet the question of his lifespan was far more serious than that, and the elders exchanged looks. Every Immortal understood the limitations of lifespan as immortality was never truly eternal.
Even after reaching the Transcendent Immortal Realm, one's lifespan remained tied to the tribulations one endured. A Transcendent Immortal could potentially gain a tremendous amount of lifespan from a successful tribulation, with thirty thousand years from a single tribulation already being considered an extraordinary gain.
Yet subsequent tribulations became increasingly difficult and there was never a guarantee that a cultivator would obtain the maximum possible lifespan from every tribulation. Of course Life-extending treasures could help.
