The belief in the immortal Phoenix and the pursuit of becoming an Immortal is almost ingrained in the very bones of the Chu people.
All the Chu people, even children not yet taller than a wheel, have the dream of becoming Immortals. Having grown up listening to myths and legends, they all yearn to shed their mortal shells and become powerful enough to move mountains and overturn seas, considering the Phoenix as the ultimate form of an Immortal. This immortal and indestructible form is their dream come true.
Just like the Gray-Black Fire Phoenix now, even if a leg is torn off, a new one instantly forms, restoring its form to perfect condition once more.
As the Gray-Black Fire Phoenix has always claimed.
"Thoughts cannot be killed!"
The Gray-Black Fire Phoenix even prided itself on this belief at one point.
"Yes, yes, yes! This True Immortal wants exactly that!"
