Breaking the Pill into Nascent, entering the Nascent Soul Realm.
A Nascent Soul's lifespan spans twenty Jiazi, which is approximately twelve hundred years, enough to suppress a kingdom and sustain a great power for a millennium.
A major force often perishes from failure to pass the torch; as the older generation of powerful individuals dies, and new ones fail to rise promptly, the force contracts, and outsiders encroach upon it.
Yet, the lifespan of over a thousand years for a Nascent Soul expert is just long enough to bridge this generational gap; even without a Nascent Soul expert, a few Golden Cores could still preserve the family business.
In the Mirror Realm, only those in the Nascent Soul Stage are considered masters, which would also grant one a modicum of self-preservation in that world.
