ellipsanet | [Text; UN: gentlebreeze]

Oh I was created immortal. It isn't full immortality but I have had it since I sprung forth into existence.

Though seems Ellipsa makes mortals of us all. What a concept!

We are mortal here, that is true, however our deaths are temporary. Is that not a type of immortality?

Do you know much about mortals?

I suppose. Though it is closer to reincarnation, is it not? Depends on how one defines immortality.

I know a lot about their worst traits. Though I have also been shown even the worst souls can have good inside them.

Mortals are complicated.

It depends, too, on how one treats their passing and eventual return. Reincarnation is meant to teach - if no lesson is learned, is it still reincarnation?

Yes, they are. I don't believe there are any beyond redemption, but they must want it.

I'm not immortal but I am thinking about becoming immortal.

In my world you can with magic peaches from the celestial realm. And other ways. Monkey King is like ten ways immortal or something like that.

I don't know if peaches would be adequate in my world. We must cultivate to immortality and that is precisely what Xue Yang and I did.

It's a different feeling, I admit.

How did you cultivate it? Through like enlightenment? Like Buddha?

No. We were taught a technique that required great sacrifice.

[Gentlebreeze...? Odd, why does that sound so familiar?]

I was born immortal. I technically have a way to "die", but it requires a specific process only authorities of my world can perform. Not to mention we have no idea what really happens to us so we aren't even sure we can call it dying.

[Well it should.]

Can the process be circumvented? If you return in the same condition you left, it is not a true death.

Kind of felt like I was stepping out from under a boulder hanging over my head, honestly. In my sect, you can't become a peak lord without ascending to immortality first, and there was a lot depending on my doing so.

But otherwise? It didn't feel all that different? I think forming my core felt like a bigger impact.

My core has been formed for a long time. I don't quite recall a time when I was without it. I know others have more difficulty in that area.

[He can only presume he had strong Cultivator parents.]

I never foresaw myself gaining immortality. Of course I work towards it because it requires the best from me. All I ever wanted was to help people.

You can add me to that list. I developed mine kind of late compared to most of my martial siblings. But then again my cultivation's never really been the strongest.

[Says the immortal immortal who looks young enough to get mistaken for his own disciples.]

Well, perk of being immortal is you get to help folk longer, right? I know I'd be all bent and wrinkly at my age otherwise. Not too useful to people.

It is something the martial world seeks. Some end up as gods, others as ghosts. My path was of torment and I decide it has been worthwhile.

I am part of the martial world. My goals were humbler, but my Master expected me to achieve immortality.

Torment? Has it come to an end for you? The torment?

I ascended but spurned Heaven and became a ghost instead. I have died multiple times. Each time was for a reason I chose and I do not regret, only the need for it.
