Years later, on the way to the execution ground, Xia Bi listened to the noisy chirping of cicadas on both sides of the road, and suddenly remembered... A conversation between him and his cultivation class teacher when he was still a teenager: "Xia, why do you cultivate immortality?" "Reporting to the teacher, my village was attacked by bandits, but the sect saved me." "Haha, that's not a reason." "And what about you, teacher?" "Me? In my hometown, there is a kind of cicada. When they are nymphs, they first lie dormant in the soil for thirteen years, and then after a rainy night, they crawl out of the soil and molt into cicadas." "This... The student doesn't understand." "Don't you think we're similar? They wait thirteen years to become adults, while we can only cultivate immortality after we reach the age of thirteen." "Teacher, it seems like you're not answering my question." "Yes, that's a bit off-topic. Actually, my original purpose for cultivating was very simple: I just wanted those important figures outside the earth to hear my voice."
