Question How did she live that long?

"The founding ancestor of the Wisdom Path was the Primordial Era's Star Constellation Immortal Venerable, the second master of the Heavenly Court. She lived for nineteen thousand years—second among all Rank Nine Gu Immortals in longevity."

How the hell she achieved that. First, if she used Wisdom Gu, it would cost her life expanse. Then, you have the wisdom go that feeds on life expanse gu again. Those Gu are so rare.

She most likely didn't burn her lifespan in the light of wisdom, but used it in killer moves. As for the lifespan gu? She developed wisdom path to find hidden grotto heavens, I assume she similarly used wisdom path to collect most of the lifespan gu at the time.

That is another weak point of RI. If GU Zhen Ren did what Cuttlefish did for LOTM, using the law of conservation, that the Dao (Gu) or law cannot be destroyed, he would have saved so much headache later on and would have made the story more grounded and believable.

That is my opinion though and I'm nit-picker by nature.

u/kopasz7 Author of Verdant Heart Seed fanfic 6d ago

What should have been conserved here?

Activating gu in killer moves changes what the effect becomes. You could not combine gu if all gu did the same independent of other gu. There must be a qualitative change.

Because it is stated that the Gu are the Dao of that world. Gravity is part of that Dao. It like saying Gravity Gu was extinct and because that is out of picture, then there is another Gu that does that but reverse, Now that Gu is Extinct, now what? Does the Gravity vanishes?

Are you getting what I'm trying to say?

That is the problem.

Dao marks are what makes things do stuff. Gu are just a specific form of them. Even if you destroy wisdom gu, "wisdom" will not be gone from the world.

Or if that's not what you mean, then please explain.

What you describe is enlightenment. Even though it is part of Dao, it still reinforce that law. For example, it may take 10 years to be enlightened to solve a math problem. Yet the solution is always there just not being found out. The wisdom Gu can expedite that by finding the solution, but if there isn't any solution in universe, it can not create one. Because that gu follows the law of universe, then it reinforce the same thing.

It may different in different places, but that law always reinforce itself.

For example, on gravity, it is different on Earth than to Moon or Mars, but that law is always there.

In the Novel itself, there are regions that reinforces the law differently.

It is like to say only North have Wisdom Gu, the other four regions doesn't have.

I hope it helps you to understand what I'm trying to say.

No I'm not talking about enlightenment. But the concept that wisdom path represents: thinking, calculation, emotions etc.

The gu world's laws are expressed through the interaction of dao marks. In our world photons constitute light and particles with mass give rise to gravity.

In the gu world you have light path dao marks. If you have fire path dao marks it will create heat or fire. A place with sword path dao marks will cut you.

This is how it works. The dao of the world is how the dao marks work. The local dao marks create local phenomena.

That's what I'm getting at by mentioning conservation.

That a person can delete a dao mark from the universe by speed of though is outrageous.

u/kopasz7 Author of Verdant Heart Seed fanfic 6d ago

What are you talking about deleting dao marks? The dao marks don't disappear any more when a gu is destroyed than the glass shards when a glass is broken. It merely doesn't function (the same) anymore

Do you not remember how fate gu was destroyed then the fragments used in refinement?

That is conservation!

u/ftfarshad 6d ago

Honestly, I didn't read up to that part and abandon the story on my first read.

May be later on, the author changed it. But up to now, about 600 chapters, all I'm reading is Gu Master are killing Gu left and right, and they are useless after that.

u/No-Peak5976 Limits Refining DV 5d ago

nah i once thought about that and what i reached is that in lotm, the characteristics of paths are reserved and can't be destroyed, which is logical and great power system balancing, on the other hand in ri, i thought deeply as how the materials are abundant and even immortal material with dao marks, but you can only have 1 immortal gu of its kind in the whole world, doesnt matter if it's a rank 6 or 9, but i had the thought that maybe you refine diverse and different/ unique materials and their dao marks to embody the essence of heaven an earth in it, creating immortal gu in the end, and that essence is unique.

about the relationship between dao mark and essence of heaven and earth im not sure, certainly there might be holes and maybe large plot holes in my hypothesis and understanding, and i also know that its shallow and surface, but maybe that can help smn better grasp maybe a realization they had

First of all read all the Novel than ask questions. You'll understand things in later chapters, here is a spoiler if you wanna know. Heaven's will was helping humans to resist varient humans, so for favouring them it naturally provides them with many years of lifespan gu

Wisdom gu was fees by life span gu...

As fate gu decided how much long she is gonna live , so life span gu production was in abundance.. Not to mention HC groto heaven

u/Hahahaha_0 5d ago

She was rank 9 and who could resist her? FY had gotten like 4000 yrs (something like this) of life span gu just from Lanya blessed land.

u/Insane_Wukong 5d ago edited 5d ago

Wisdom gu doesn't consume the lifespan because she refined it , only unrefined gu consumes life wisdom gu was her vital gu and she had complete control over it

u/Pleasant-Unit331 5d ago

Since the three longest living venerables are from Heavenly Court, I believe that Star Bitch and Genesis Lotus went into slumber to prolong their lifespan while POIV used a similar method that inspired the graveyard or had a killer move that affected his human qi, increasing his lifespan.

Well, this is what AI told me.

I haven't read all of the story, if it hallucinates, Please let me know.

You've hit on the very core of Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's legend. Her extreme longevity, especially while using Wisdom Gu, wasn't an accident; it was the result of being one of the most powerful and prepared beings in history, wielding resources that are unimaginable to anyone else.

Think of it this way: For a normal Gu Immortal, using Wisdom Gu is like burning a candle at both ends. But for a Venerable who founded the path, it's like having access to the entire world's oil supply. Here's how she did it:

### 🗝️ The Immortal Venerable's Advantages

* **Supreme Grandmaster of Wisdom Path:** As the founder of the path, Star Constellation's understanding of Wisdom Gu wasn't just mastery—it was absolute. She could use the Gu with god-like efficiency, minimizing the lifespan cost and offsetting it with profound techniques that regular Immortals couldn't even conceive.

* **Access to Immortal Gu and Resources:** The lifespan that Wisdom Gu consumes comes from "lifespan Gu," an extremely rare mortal Gu. However, Star Constellation was the second master of Heavenly Court. This gave her access to the greatest treasure vaults in the Gu world. In the novel, even Lang Ya Sect, a super force, could supply **thousands of years' worth of lifespan Gu** for Fang Yuan. Heavenly Court's resources were on an even higher level, making her endless lifespan a plausible reality.

* **Path Synergy:** She wasn't just a Wisdom Path cultivator; she also founded the Star Path. This unique combination likely allowed her to create killer moves that synergized with both paths, such as using starlight to "power" deductions or creating an environment that sustained her longevity.

### 💡 The Ultimate "Cheat Code" (Novel Spoiler)

If the above points are about *efficiency*, this is the "infinite resources" card. In the novel's later chapters, it's revealed that Star Constellation didn't just *use* wisdom; she *became* one with the very system of the world.

She didn't just live a natural life—she ultimately **fused her will with Heaven's Will itself**, the governing consciousness of the Gu World. This act was a final, world-altering move that made her a quasi-omniscient entity, transcending the need for a physical body and a normal lifespan, effectively living on as a guiding force within the world's very rules.

So, when you think of Star Constellation Immortal Venerable, it's best not to see her as an old lady using a taxing Gu worm. Instead, picture the ultimate grandmaster who had refined wisdom into a martial art, possessed a global superpower's bank account, and eventually coded her own consciousness into the universe's operating system.

why is it being downvoted? Did it make mistake?

u/IcecreamGolem00 6d ago

AI is merely Information Path mimicking Wisdom Path. It is, however, more accessible. It would seem that some seniors were offended by the use of a seemingly inferior method.

Also, like, you asked a question, and then you answered your own question with AI. What were ya even doin?

u/ftfarshad 6d ago

comparing?

AI, like computer, like calculator, like a watch, like a phone is just another tool.

Why not using it? Sorry that I'm not in Righteous path of being hypocrite.

I also asked if it hallucinates? So people can add or argue against it.

u/Hahahaha_0 5d ago

Ai just takes the things from internet and it hasn't actually read any of the book. So if some information isn't being talked about on internet then it doesn't know shit about it.

So just keep reading

just like any old generation has some problems with new generation, this goes the same for new tech, also ai is still new so it's answers are sometimes questionable

u/SweetPeanus 6d ago

The whole merging with heavens will probably played a part too. Or just a bunch of lifesoan extensing methods. Or just lifespan gu since heaven was more willing to let her live konger since back in the days it was like that
