But everything changed later. As the elders' cultivation levels improved, their smiles faded, replaced by melancholy and frequent sighs. Not long after, the elders made arrangements for sect matters and then passed away in meditation.

Perhaps there was a trace of fear of death, but more than that, it felt unworthy!
