He discovered his energy was fading, and he was gripped by a fear of death.
He became a fatuous ruler, obsessed with the path of Alchemy. He neglected his courtly duties and eventually died of Elixir poisoning in his bedchamber.
...
He was a swordsman of the Jianghu, wandering its treacherous and unpredictable paths.
Having grown accustomed to the sight of life and death, he became terrified of his own mortality.
He didn't want to die. He wanted to grow stronger.
Thus, he began to seek out renowned masters, train diligently in Swordsmanship, and even risked his life to challenge the experts of the Jianghu.
Every battle deepened his understanding of Martial Arts. His Swordsmanship gradually evolved from sharp and aggressive to fluid and seamless, until he finally created a style unparalleled in the Jianghu.
In his later years, he shattered the shackles of his mortal body and broke through to the Innate Realm.
However, this only extended his Lifespan to two hundred years.
