Yuan Ming gazed at Hai Dafu's corpse, and for some reason, a difficult-to-describe emotion welled up in his heart.
Cultivators begin their journey primarily to transcend the mundane and chaotic, chasing after greater power, and sharing a lifespan with the heavens and earth. In the eyes of mortals, Immortals can travel through heaven and earth and are omnipotent, seemingly no longer susceptible to worldly suffering or mortal troubles, free to roam the universe.
Yet, cultivators themselves originate from mortals, favored by the heavens and earth with a Spirit Root, pursuing the supreme path. However, they often cannot truly detach from the secular world and also possess the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, experiencing the joys and sorrows of separation and reunion.
In the end, one is human first, and becomes an Immortal later.
