If he could successfully breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage, he might still live for a few more centuries. However, his future was cut short now, and his remaining lifespan could be counted on one's fingers.
"Still, old man, don't be too pessimistic. Perhaps one day, I'll find a way to repair your injuries and help you break through to the Nascent Soul realm. It's entirely possible."
