No one here fears me either, and while I suspect that you still wouldn't, if the others had seen what I had done. If they'd seen the things I was capable of. It wouldn't matter how much I smiled at them or made a fool of myself. I suspect most of them would want nothing to do with me and it would be justified.
I really...I get it. But to me you're as you are now. [Betrayal and all, goes unspoken but implied.]
Anyway, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to go and get so serious. Is this because I'm getting old? I used to be so much fun, I swear!
There is a man obsessed with obtaining it. Orochimaru. Should he ever arrive here, he would be a considerable threat. Please commit the name to memory.
Some people have found ways to extend their lives unnaturally using the chakra of others.
I'll remember it. And if we're trading terrible people names, please remember the name Jin Guangshan. Should he ever arrive, I'm sure he'd spread my misdeeds across the network to discredit anything I say, but among other things, he's the type of monster who should never be left alone with a woman. Any woman.
As for those seeking immortality, we have some of the same sort who search for all sorts of unsavory was to reach it, but there are ways to achieve it. My mother's teacher is an immortal. I never met her, she resides high in one of the mountain and avoids interacting with mortals outside of those she decides to train. Cultivators who cultivate well enough and long enough can achieve immortality. She's not the only one, but she's the only one I know about.
When I was very young, it was what I dreamed of. As I got older I decided there was no point unless everyone I loved achieved the same. What's the point of living forever if you're alone?
For what it is worth, Viveca and Degar select for unit cohesion as much as being in possession of a regret. I do not think they would invite a man who is a danger to women aboard the ship, and it is impossible they would not know of his misdeeds beforehand.
A desire for immortality is simply the manifestation of a fear of one's own death. There is little point to such a thing unless one is a scholar or monk with little in the way of earthly attachments.
Mmm. Imagine being so caught up in it. Fear of pain, I understand, but even that's passing. There are far worse things to experience than death. [Loss. Abandonment. Grief.] Like dogs.
๏ผ pain is pain, to him. he cannot imagine fearing it either — it has been a constant companion, as near to him as his own shadow, for more of his life than not. there is no division between mental and physical pain — though he has carried both, but he knows which of the two is worse. ๏ผ

Did I ever tell you that some cultivators become immortal? Are there immortals in your world?

But as to genuine immortality? No.

Fine!!! I'll rekindle our friendship but only because I have no one else to talk to about this. Is there anyone else who doesn't speak English?
