"The character '仙' represents a person and a mountain. A person walks towards the mountain, wanting to be as tall as the heavens; it speaks of those who seek higher realms, understanding the true essence of the universe," Shi Zhongqing said slowly.
"Does that mean that all practitioners could be called immortals?" Lin Shen asked.
"It's different. Ordinary practitioners focus on the known, while those cultivating immortality focus on the unknown," Shi Zhongqing shook his head and said.
Lin Shen immediately understood Shi Zhongqing's meaning. A divine being's cultivation pursues advancement from lower to middle, and then from middle to upper, even those desiring to become a Great Emperor are elevating themselves within known levels.
However, the pursuit of immortality is focused on the unknown, on fields never touched by others. Their purposes and ultimate realms differ.
