    👉 Titled *Eternal Life*, the book actually delves into profound reflections on the pursuit of immortality. Author Feng Yu Jiu Qiu's skillful writing flows smoothly as she explores the ultimate pursuit of immortality by cultivators, elucidating it through the growth of the protagonist, Mo Wen. 🍀 An excerpt from the original text: "Everyone seeks immortality, yet they do not know that immortality is a calamity, not a blessing—the longer one lives, the more karma one owes to heaven and earth, which must eventually be repaid with interest." This elucidates the karmic cost of immortality, emphasizing that only immortality can provide a permanent solution. 🍀 Another excerpt from the original text: "Having cultivated to the point of transcending emotions, what difference is there between one and a mountain rock? I would rather fall into reincarnation than be a puppet of the Heavenly Dao!" Through Mo Wen's words, author Feng Yu Jiu Qiu clarifies what it means for a cultivator to be devoid of emotion. 🍀 Excerpt from the original text: "The most terrifying thing on the road to immortality is not the heavenly tribulation, but when you turn around, there is no one behind you." Yes, thousands of years have passed, the world has changed, things have changed, and we have become strangers... Is such immortality a blessing or a curse? ㊗️ Feng Yu Jiu Qiu, through the character Mo Wen in "The Longevity," describes "immortality not as a path, but as the eternal unity of spirit and nature, or the transcendence of Zhuangzi's view of life and death as equal."
