Do you think it's possible that Central Divinity Wong Chung Yeung had a death fetish?
Consider this:
1). At a time in his life when he was depressed, disgraced, and discouraged, he built a sanctuary for himself...in the form of a tomb(!)...the Tomb of the Living Dead (later to be known as the Ancient Tomb). Not a cave...not a temple...but a TOMB.
2). Shortly before his *real* death, Wong Chung Yeung faked his death and spent a few days (or at least hours) in a coffin to entrap anyone (e.g. West Poison Au Yeung Fung) who attempted to steal the 9 Yum Jen Ging.
I have this feeling that Wong Chung Yeung was obsessed with death and fetishized it.
