Shen Yue, upon hearing Shiying mentioning "there is no death in Shambhala", suddenly understood many things.
It was immortality!
It had to be immortality!
Emperor Wanyan Sheng sought immortality, and so did Wanyan Zonghan.
Of this, he was now quite certain.
Ambitious monarchs with grand aspirations, once they reached the pinnacle of power, would invariably seek immortality next, in hopes of establishing an eternal dynasty that would last through the ages.
It sounded laughable, yet it was a very real pursuit.
Shen Yue had been contemplating the deal between the Judge of Fengdu and Emperor Wanyan Sheng; Wanyan Sheng should have died but didn't. It could be said that the Judge of Fengdu extended Wanyan Sheng's life, or that the Judge of Fengdu used this to spur Wanyan Sheng to search for the land of immortality.
