'Is a physical body important for a being who has attained a state of longevity?'
'Of course, it's important.'
'In ancient times, the first Cultivators sought nothing more than "longevity."'
'Those who could achieve it were called Immortals.'
'Immortals were divided into five ranks: Heavenly, Earthly, Human, God, and Ghost.'
'The highest were Heavenly Immortals. They commanded Grotto-Heavens, could swallow the sun and moon, and formed a world unto themselves.'
'Next were God Immortals, who possessed a Purple Mansion. With purple qi arriving from the east, they could take in thirty thousand li of mountains and rivers at a glance.'
'Below them were Earthly Immortals. They obtained Blessed Lands and were rooted to the earth, their lifespans equal to that of the mountains and rivers.'
'Then came Human Immortals. They had only themselves. Every punch and kick was a Divine Ability, but that was the extent of their power.'
