When you train your qi, an orb of spiritual power forms as you strengthen your body. The stronger your ability, the more benefits you gain. Thus when one has a strong core, it's generally assumed one has also gained immortality along with their power.

If it's that difficult for people to do... hopefully the people who were only in it for power would be discourage by the amount of time it took to get to that point.
