It was precisely because of such a mechanical and rigid mechanism that he found room to maneuver.
To be frank, the actual lifespan Lu Yuan had consumed along his cultivation journey had long exceeded ten thousand years.
He had practiced for three thousand years, yet the actual lifespan expended, even after his later cultivation increased and his resistance to the Way of Qi Luck greatly improved, was relatively less.
Still, the lifespan he had ultimately lost was around twenty thousand years.
By heavenly standards, he should have long been dead.
But the heavenly path does not concern itself with actual lifespan, so even though he had lost more than the ten thousand year threshold, relying on the replenishment of the longevity Dao Fruit, he was still lively and excessively youthful.
