The golden Primordial Spirit walks within the Void, ascending against the endless black sky.
The Primordial Spirit emerges from the Golden Core, heading toward the Purple Mansion. This path is not one within the human body, but requires traversing endless Void.
The reasons are complex, involving the mysteries of the Tao Origin, the starting point of all creation.
Although the Purple Mansion is also within the body, the Primordial Spirit cannot directly enter it, but must traverse the endless Void.
This is known as the journey on the road to the heavens.
Otherwise, even if the Primordial Spirit reaches the gate of the Purple Mansion, it cannot knock on its door.
Of course, Xu Zhou's Purple Mansion gate had long been open, and he could easily allow the Primordial Spirit to reside directly in the Purple Mansion.
