Who Says Cultivation Is Hard?

Everyone wants to cultivate immortality, but do you really know how cruel this path can be? You might cultivate bitterly for a hundred years, only to become a wisp of smoke in the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls; you might be a peerless genius, only to have your bones crushed and marrow sucked out so someone else can wear your skin; you might stand unrivaled for an age, only to find your path cut off and grieve in vain; you might dominate for millennia, only to succumb to a dwindling lifespan and the torment of inner demons... What? If you just take the best pills, forge the strongest treasures, find the most beautiful Dao companion, and cultivate the mightiest Dao, none of that will be a problem? Fellow cultivator, stop dreaming. "You're not me," Immortal Venerable Xu Yixian said.
