"Liberation by violence and becoming an immortal?" Chen Shi froze.
Liberation by violence was a type of corpse-liberation immortal, as well as a technique for escaping shape. There were many methods of corpse-liberation. First, one refined objects like military gear, staffs, or bamboo into their own form. When their lifespan was exhausted, they used this form to fool the underworld emissaries, allowing their true body to wander freely.
Back when Grandpa held his own funeral, the fake death method he used was a kind of corpse-liberation.
If one chose liberation by violence, they needed to use divine weapons and sharp blades to kill themselves, discarding the physical body to practice as a ghost immortal, and finally merging their primordial spirit with the Dao. This kind of method ignored the physical body and only sought primordial spirit Dao-integration.
The Water-Fire Tempering Art, however, used a method of water-fire tempering to preserve the physical body, which was vastly different from liberation by violence.
If one's primordial spirit merges with the Dao, perhaps the possibility of evil transformation disappears, Chen Shi thought.
But he immediately realized that primordial spirit Dao-integration also required the Void Realm. Without obtaining the correct positions of the stars and constellations in the sky calculated by the primal star chart, one could not truly merge with the Dao, and he feared an evil transformation would still occur.
So had these several ancestors of the Taihua Qing Palace truly undergone liberation by violence to become immortals?
If they became ghost immortals, had they suffered evil transformations?
