As for why things were turning out this way, Liang Sheng had some speculations in his heart. After all, he had failed miserably as a web novelist in his previous life, so what kind of wild ideas had he not entertained?
But as for the specifics, they would only be revealed later.

One month later,
Liang Sheng had not yet cracked the secret of the Black Iron Command, nor was clearer about how to use it to seek immortality. However, as it was the only clue he had obtained thus far about cultivation, he did not dare to destroy it recklessly.
If that were the case, Liang Sheng could only temporarily give up, as according to the old master of the No-Life Sect of Ye Family, the hundred-year period of provisioning the Cultivation World was drawing close.
Which meant, roughly thirteen years from now, when the Ye Family had completed storing up the luck of the dynasty, someone from the cultivation world would descend to the mortal world.
