The nascent soul as the essence and the Cosmic Form as the complement and, together with the power of the Great Taoist Mantra and ultimately realize the avatar of the immortal soul.
Most cultivators who had obtained the avatar of the immortal soul would leave behind his or her old physical body. The immortal soul avatar, along with the mental state and the soul, would be vastly different from before.
