He slowly stood up, his headless corpse raising shield and axe, roaring furiously at the heavens above.
Returning from death, relying on his own will, his own obsession.
Will, obsession?
Li Ping'an gazed inward, a peculiar realization stirring within his heart.
Indeed, a 'peculiar' realization.
Li Ping'an himself didn't know why;
Previously, he was just half a step away from entering the Golden Immortal Realm, yet he couldn't comprehend life and death. The understanding of life and death is profoundly mysterious, and for every Qi Cultivator who reaches this point, the path forward depends on their unique opportunity.
Take the elder Tianli, for example, his insight was forged on a battlefield of life and death.
Or his own father, who arrived at understanding simply by contemplating the passing of his loved ones, purchasing a burial site, and imagining his affairs after death to surmount this chasm.
