"Actually, once one reaches the Earth Immortal stage, one gains the ability to regenerate severed limbs, though it requires time. By the time one reaches the Heaven Immortal stage, that time is drastically shortened. Theoretically, it is merely limb regeneration; it hasn’t reached the exaggerated extent that fellow displays."
"Of course, it’s not impossible; it simply requires specific cultivation. The reason that fellow can resurrect lies in that Void Imperial Clan."
The woman explained slowly. If her observations just now were correct, there were soul fragments of the Void Imperial Clan within his flesh and blood. Once a soul reaches the Heaven Immortal stage, it can merge with the flesh; even if the body is shattered, it can still reform—just as the Qingtian Immortal did earlier. However, the Qingtian Immortal lacked the true strength to do this on his own and could only rely on the power of the Void Imperial Clan to reassemble his body. By the same token, because the Qingtian Immortal’s body contained those soul fragments, ending his life was a matter of a single thought. It was the equivalent of handing one's life over to someone else. Or, to put it less politely, he was nothing more than a slave.
