For many, the dream of ascending to the Upper Immortal Realm is a powerful one, driven by the desire for extended life, perhaps even to live as long as the heavens and earth themselves.
However, this aspiration is often tempered by a harsh reality: once they reach this elevated plane, individuals without the backing of a powerful family face significant challenges. They are often relegated to joining a major sect as a mere disciple or attaching themselves to a powerful figure, becoming a subordinate with limited autonomy.
This precarious existence means that, without strong support, their lives in the Upper Immortal Realm are easily extinguished. It is this grim prospect that often deters even the most ambitious, forcing them to suppress their longing for ascension.
