Seeking Immortality with the Mysterious Heart

The Story of Yan Zhi: A mortal foolishly sought the path to immortality, and before he knew it, a thousand years had passed. I, old Yan Zhi, am a rogue cultivator who blundered through thirty years of life... The cultivation world is full of deceit and opportunism, and its petty troubles never cease. So I wandered far from home and became a rogue cultivator. Yet when all contend for the Great Dao, how could gains and losses ever go as one wishes? In my youth, I was bold, confident, and carefree, but my heedless ways cost me the best years of my life. Now I am like a withered corpse in a grave. When my life ends and my path is extinguished, no trace will remain that I, Yan Zhi, ever existed in this world. Enough, enough. Since ancient times, many have sought eternal life, but few have attained freedom. Those who come after me must persevere and remain cautious. Never let a fleeting delusion sway you. If fate grants you an opportunity one day, be sure to question your own heart...
