The Immortal’s Path: Do You Really Think You’ll Outlive Me?

[Longevity-focused] [Lifespan Investment] [Cautious Cultivation] [No Saintly Heroics] [No Female Lead] [Slow-paced] [Fantasy Setting]

The year Zhang Muzhi was tested for spiritual roots, he was found to have none.

The Immortal Sect's people declared,

“You have no fate with the immortal path in this life.”

Everyone thought his dream of seeking immortality was over.

Only one immortal master handed him a map.

“The Qingxuan Sect is thirty-six thousand li from here.”

“If you can make it there alive, I'll give you a second chance.”

Thus, an ordinary mortal embarked on a long journey to seek immortality.

But no one knew

that Zhang Muzhi carried a secret even he could not explain.

He would never die of old age.

And with every passing day, he gained another year of lifespan.

He could spend his lifespan to simulate cultivation.

Ten years of swordsmanship, a hundred years of alchemy, a thousand years of formations...

While people of his age struggled desperately as their lifespans ran out, Zhang Muzhi used the long years to explore every path of cultivation.

At first, all he wanted was to make it safely through those thirty-six thousand li and join an Immortal Sect.

Then he learned that Goose City had a teleportation array leading straight to the Canglan Sect.

But the array was controlled by the local gentry.

Want to use the teleportation array?

Get past the gentry first.

So Zhang Muzhi went to Goose City.

He hadn't wanted any trouble.

But the teleportation array was in the gentry's hands.

In that case...

He had no choice but to ask the gentry to die.

Many years later,

former prodigies had turned to dry bones, and the great Immortal Sects had risen and fallen.

Only Zhang Muzhi had crossed countless mountains and rivers. Looking back on the road he'd traveled,

he finally realized:

Longevity was not the end.
