Li Dai's departure did not cause any ripples among the essences. In this place, which was almost isolated from the outside world, they continued to live happy and peaceful lives.
Limited by their inherent nature, although the essences were naturally blessed with extraordinarily long lifespans, they could not cultivate even if they lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years. At most, like the elder essence, those who lived long enough would experience a certain growth in their divine souls and, upon reaching a certain stage, automatically unlock the ability to communicate using divine sense.
However, due to their inability to cultivate and the physical limitations of their bodies, even when external cultivators came here and left behind a wealth of treasures—just like the young man from the past—the essences were unable to extract knowledge from the jade slips. And even if they possessed methods for artifact forging, various limitations prevented them from ever forging top-tier spirit artifacts.
