Ever since Qi Tiandao passed away that night, more than half a year had gone by.
Over those more than half a year, the entire Flying Immortal Alliance Sect Gate remained draped in white, shrouded in grief.
But the dead were gone. No amount of sorrow could bring them back to life.
After steadying his emotions, Zhang Qingyuan began studying the Jade Slip Qi Tiandao had left him, researching the Three-Aspect Secret Technique of the Great Luo Venerable Cult recorded within.
After reading through the entire Secret Technique, a thought could not help but surface in his heart.
"If I sever my past self, would I still be me?"
Without question,
the Three-Aspect Secret Technique that originated from the mysterious Great Luo Venerable Cult was immensely powerful!
Moreover, it was a Secret Technique for cultivating oneself, ultimately simplified from imitating the process by which void sky-level cultivators transcended into the Dunyi realm.
It allowed those who mastered it to experience, in advance, a fraction of the mysteries of the Dunyi realm that stood at the pinnacle of the entire Cultivation World!
But,
if one severed one's past self,
then what exactly would the remaining main body be?
Zhang Qingyuan shook his head slightly.
This path
was wrong!
Qi Tiandao himself had provided him with an excellent example!
In Zhang Qingyuan's view, Qi Tiandao's past body and the Great Zhou Divine Emperor, who served as the main body, could already be considered two utterly different people!
Though Zhang Qingyuan had yet to reach the pinnacle of the Heavenly Being realm,
with his experienced eye cultivated over many years,
he instinctively felt that severing one's past self was no good thing!
"Deny the past, deny the self, and ultimately become a cold, unfeeling Puppet operated by the order of the Heavenly Dao?"
