I mean, we don't know Bailu's age either. We also don't know what happened after the monster was killed and somehow a viable egg came out of it.
But the common presumption was that once there was a viable Vidyadhara egg with (half of) the power of the high elder inheritance in it, it was a viable candidate for succession. *shrug*
> I'm pointing out that even at the end of Dan Feng's lifespan, the question of death vs molting would still be relevant.
I'm not talking about death vs molting at that point though. I'm talking about the point after they already sentenced him to molt and not death, and subsequently when that molting was carried out. Because if they dragged it on too long and past his natural lifespan, he's going to do the natural rebirth automatically. What's the point of forced molting if they wait til that point or after that happens? So of course this all needs to take place before the estimated end of his lifespan.
