In the span of a person's life, the thoughts may number a "yuan," but there is only one fixation.
Like Wu Shang, with his master dead and his partner gone, his lifelong fixation was to see Body Cultivation brought to an absolute end. Thus, after Xie Tian killed Tian Xin, his fixation dissolved, and he willingly sought death.
Compared to Wu Shang, Shen Shao was far smarter, which is why he thought more. Therefore, he didn't understand, or perhaps, didn't want to think about his fixation—even though his death and disappearance were merely six years away.
It wasn't until his sea of consciousness was invaded by a dark soul.
In the extreme desperation of the "Heart of Zhuxian of the Jiuzhou," he had no choice but to battle Luo Qing alone. As a result, his soul's power was exhausted, and he was severely injured.
Wu Shang's sacrificial extermination left him heartbroken and restless. In this state, his body was seized, and he understood immediately that he was doomed.
