"The Demon King's spiritual essence contained something akin to an infant and was deeply connected to the demon beasts, as if it was a transformation of their spirit."
"Wang Sheng certainly wouldn't overlook this detail. After parting ways with Zhu Xiao, he captured several demon beasts before returning to Qingshan Village."
"Once back, he first sought out the village elder."
"The village elder was already over ninety years old, nearing a century, but with Wang Sheng's help, his body remained robust—though that was just a facade. He had consumed too much of his lifespan in earlier years, and despite Wang Sheng's efforts to replenish some of it over the years, he was nearing his limit."
"There was no way for Wang Sheng to replenish his lifespan."
"When one's lifespan ends, not even immortals can save them unless there is a way to extend it."
"Unfortunately—"
"Elder, are you really unwilling to pursue spiritual cultivation?"
