You're a Mortal, Why Are You Cultivating Immortality?

On the path to immortality, every living thing has its own way of cultivation. Plants, insects, and ants alike all follow their own path. Chen Zhibai was born a mortal, and his family lived in the Mortal Domain. Yet he was tasked with raising fish for immortals in exchange for the chance to cultivate immortality. His only older brother knew his lifespan was nearly at an end, and used the “Spirit-Borrowing Secret Art” for Chen Zhibai. An accident occurred midway, and he died a tragic death. Afterward, Chen Zhibai took on the task alone, continuing to raise fish for immortals as he pursued the Dao, while also seeking to discover the exact cause of his brother’s death. After enduring many hardships, he accidentally entered the Spirit Domain, only to discover that he had five useless spiritual roots, making him the most defective of all defective physiques. “Find a soul to borrow its spirit; find a person to borrow their life.” “From now on, don’t trust anyone...” “You’re just a mortal. What are you doing trying to cultivate immortality?” “You’re blind, and you still have the nerve to act tough?” “Haha! With your five useless spiritual roots, you actually think you can prove the Dao?” “I, Chen Zhibai... ask nothing of humans, demons, or monsters, and nothing of heaven, earth, or immortals. I ask only that the sword in my hand not break at this moment!”
