Chapter 10: Ancestor Severely Injured
"The internal conflicts within the Demon Race are even more severe than those among humans. The Cat Demon Beast and Mouse Demon Beast are natural enemies, as are the Tiger Demon and Deer Demon; their struggles are fierce. Similar fierce struggles exist among other demon beasts as well. Those Demon Emperors, in order to alleviate internal conflicts among the demon beasts, create enemies even when there are none. Only by uniting against an external enemy can the internal disputes within the Demon Race be eased."
Father said, "The White Tiger Demon Emperor launched the beast tide for three reasons: first, to consume the excess low-level demon beasts; second, to deplete the potential of the Human Race during the war; and third, to train the younger generation of the Demon Race through warfare."
Lu Xuanji asked, "Is the patriarch’s injury severe?"
"Very severe!" Father said worriedly, "The patriarch is already quite old, three hundred and fifty years, and now he’s severely injured, his lifespan is decreasing. The clan elders are planning to buy a healing elixir for the clan leader!"
Purple Mansion cultivators have a theoretical lifespan of four hundred and eighty years.
However, because cultivators take elixirs, they leave elixir poison in their bodies, which affects their lifespan; battling with cultivators drains primordial qi and also reduces lifespan; when operating cultivation techniques, if something goes wrong, it can damage meridians and further reduce lifespan. Due to various issues.
Many Purple Mansion cultivators do not live to their theoretical lifespan, most pass away at four hundred or so years.
Lu Fuming’s lifespan is three hundred and fifty years, equivalent to a seventy-year-old mortal, and is already at the stage where his lifespan is nearly exhausted.
In this great battle, the patriarch was injured, and now he doesn’t have much lifespan left.
If the patriarch passes, and the clan has no Purple Mansion cultivator to hold the fort, the situation would become dire when the tigers and wolves attack.
