0, 1, 2, 3... The numerical order of genetic tiers. Tier-0 was basic gene, Tier-1 referred to primeval gene, while Tier-2 was the transcendent-grade gene.
The awakening of Tier-2 genes meant that he had stepped into the life of transcendence.
Why transcendence?
Because then, one would transcend the power and lifespan of regular mortals!
Elite cultivators possessed extraordinary vitality to begin with. Their cells went through energy evolution and had the characteristics of both matter and energy.
A regular person would only experience approximately 50 cell divisions in their entire lifetime and have a life expectancy of about 100 years according to theoretical knowledge on the human body.
Dual cultivation of strength and longevity was the right way.
True transcendence didn't boil down to something as simple as mere strength. Cultivating longevity was the road to greatness.
