Hearing what the Black Bird said, the surrounding cultivators nearly died of regret. The person they had previously taken for a useless burden turned out to be a free pass to ascension; they had completely missed the greatest opportunity of their lives.
To have such an immortal beast by one's side, guiding them every step of the way—becoming an immortal would be as easy as reaching out and taking it. Besides, the bird had intended all along to let Guoer live another life when the time came to ascend. Even if they themselves were just tagging along, attaining immortality was a dead certainty.
I tried playing the emotional card, saying, "Senior immortal beast, look how young Guoer is. If you leave, she won't even have a single relative by her side. She'll be all alone in this vast world, isolated and so pitiful."
