Just like Grandmaster Zhishang, the abbot of Shaolin, Tianya's age also exceeds one hundred years. However, how old he actually is remains a mystery to this day.
Some speculate that Tianya is about the same age as the abbot of Shaolin, in their early hundreds, but in fact, Tianya's true age far surpasses this number. His real age could even rival the longest-living world record listed in Guinness.
