Sad Fancy Little Grape Man - Tumblr Posts

I’ve been thinking it over, and I have decided it really makes a lot of sense if Jiang Cheng is the only cultivator of his generation who manages to cultivate to immortality. Here are my reasons:

Too stubborn to die, especially of anything as stupid as old age.

The terrible tragedy of outliving all your loved ones, you say? Living each day knowing you’ll never see them again outside your dreams? Enduring unendurable loneliness, and somehow going on anyway? That’s not some kind of ‘what-if’ thought experiment, to Jiang Cheng—that’s Tuesday.

Allows him to put off the question of succession indefinitely, or at least until Jin Ling is old enough to have produced a spare heir or two that Jiang Cheng can cadge off of him.

It’s gonna take him at least a thousand years before he’s over that thing Wen Ning said to him about Wei Wuxian’s core. Ten thousand if Wen Ning opens his mouth at year five hundred and thirty-four to remark that Jiang Wanyin can probably chalk up his immortality to Wei-gongzi’s core, too.
