The Great Sage Taisui was falling.
In the path of the Immortals, a Golden Core True Monarch has already attained immortality; a Nascent Soul, once formed, is indestructible and eternal. Even in the event of "death," they are destined to return. For True Monarchs and Heavenly Monarchs, what most people call death is merely a wound—difficult to heal, perhaps, but never without a remedy.
For a Heavenly Venerable, death is even more impotent. It is less of a wound and more of a rigid restraint—one that can be broken free from. Taisui, for example, had actually died long ago during the ancient Demon Calamity, yet it remained undying, able to be reborn through the power of the Holy Demon, at the price of having its consciousness controlled by that same force.
