Losing one's physical body was equivalent to cutting off the possibility of breaking through. Without the circulation of energy in one's physical body, it would be extremely difficult to cultivate.
If it wasn't for their bodies being destroyed, those soul-form experts wouldn't have chosen to walk that path either.
"Stripping off the body and leaving only the primordial spirit... This is like a threshold left behind for experts who cultivate the soul."
But in fact, many soul path experts would create puppet bodies.
Thousands of years ago, there had been a quasi-emperor puppet involved in the conspiracy.
Such a puppet was not something that a great perfection-stage God Venerable could fight against as it bore the will of a quasi-emperor.
The quasi-emperor's puppet was ultimately destroyed by a decree in the battle.
