This is, of course, before spirit severing cultivators become monkeys trivially slaughtered by the wave of a hand, before disappearing entirely after Meng Hao becomes an immortal, along with 100% of all sub-immortal cultivators, as if everyone and their mother just goes straight to true or false immortal after birth outside of South Heaven.
Meng Hao not only does not lose anything from these spirit severings, he gains incredibly from each one. In his first, he severs the resurrection lily, which had been plaguing him for the majority of the novel until then. For the second, he severed his perfect cultivation, or his past (nominally), in order for him to move forward from the loss of his cultivation, after which he conveniently gets an even better cultivation! Yay! He doesn't even lose a single f*cking pill through that whole process! And for his third severing, he severs his crazy genocidal urges.
This is not "spirit severing", it's *stuff* severing. He severed *stuff* that he didn't want. There was no aspect of his spirit or his soul or his past which he had to let go of, no part of himself which he resolved.
That particular part of the novel where Meng Hao is briefly crippled from having his foundation stolen away is one of the best parts (along with the story of Chen Fan). It showcases how grounded the novel can be and how the crazy world shaking battles and pill popping are unnecessary to drive the story. However, the fact that it was so abrupt, ends so dramatically and without any sense of loss whatsoever, and the fact that was *totally expected* are the kinds of things which take this novel down two notches in quality.
Otherwise, I don't believe Meng Hao's moral degeneration removes from this quality because it (along with its end) was heavily foreshadowed and was supposed to be a big aspect of his development. However, the fact that his degeneration was treated so trivially, without any sense of self-awareness or conflict did make this a weak narrative and suspect the author was simply using it as a way to make Meng Hao's cutthroat behavior more passably by him.
* The humor is great! Most of the time when I read something funny I chuckle a bit and move... more>>
