North Liao

In the Kunlun Snow Palace, a sage once said, those who pass away wander, while the living cannot let go. 
Once the soul departs, it will wither like the autumn grass. 
Those who are reborn from the dead, existing apart from the mortal realm, shall be shunned by all celestial sects and smitten as undead demons. 
On this day, a youth awakens from within a coffin, his blood dry and his bones chilled, to find himself a century old upon opening his eyes. 
A single tear from a sage awaited, a constant companion, may unravel the dreams of the past. 
Seeking not immortality but a mundane death, not to lament with the ages over lost love and resentment, but only wishing to grow old with tenderness in this lifetime, beneath the white clouds that hold no envy for the heavenly realms.

Journey to the End of the Night

"The Void Spirit Root that Meng Zifei spoke of is quite ordinary, barely sufficient for cultivation, just comparable to a Mortal Spirit Root."


The Void Spirit Root was a new type of Spirit Root created by the Alliance Hierarch after the establishment of the Wandao Immortal Alliance, made up of an accumulation of spiritual power, a fake Spirit Root conjured up, requiring vast resources to maintain its operation.


It seems that Meng Zifei, being a "Loose Cultivator" not bound by the powers of the various factions, had joined the Wandao Immortal Alliance because of this Void Spirit Root.


However, the Wandao Immortal Alliance does not restrict freedom or force cultivators' comings and goings; one can follow their heart in both joining and leaving.


It's likely that he wanted to complete the task of this great trial and, after obtaining the corresponding resources, he would still be able to withdraw in time.
