"Now as for my cultivation, it has reached only a half-step into the Nirvana Realm. My time is drawing near."
The white-haired old man sighed and spoke.
"That's strange. Senior, after living a life once again, shouldn't your cultivation have advanced further?"
Wang Ping asked with some confusion.
"Who told you that you would become stronger in your second life than in your first?"
The white-haired old man shook his head with a smile.
"Living a life again, indeed your understanding of cultivation can help you proceed smoothly at first, but that's as far as it goes. Cultivation depends largely on your fortune. In your first life, you might have had all sorts of opportunities that aided you in successfully breaking through, but in your second life, those opportunities might not come."
After a pause, the white-haired old man spoke with a mixture of emotions.
