The previous projection clone had consumed a great deal of Lu Xiaotian's strength, but it had been worth it. It had directly crushed Patriarch Kongji's clone and overwhelmed the four Primordial Spirit bodies of Yuan Qing.
It had looked overwhelmingly domineering, but in reality, opening a spatial rift with the projection clone had consumed an enormous amount of energy. After unleashing power repeatedly, it could not exist for long.
Mu Xia needed support, so Lu Xiaotian had no choice but to create another projection.
As for the previous projection clone, it had incidentally earned the Lotus Avatar a bit of merit, which could also be considered making the best use of it.
After all, although the Lotus Avatar had forcibly led an army into the Wangchuan Sorrow Realm this time, supposedly before Thousand Tribulations Punishment Lord could capture Mu Xia, its intentions had been far too obvious.
If the Celestial Court investigated, it would not warrant death, but it would still cause considerable trouble.
Now that it had saved several Primordial Spirit bodies and even crushed one of Lu Xiaotian's projection clones, it could be said to have earned at least some merit.
More importantly, it had displayed a hostile attitude toward Lu Xiaotian, merely showing obvious partiality toward Mu Xia on that particular matter.
Moreover, during the battle of wits between Lu Xiaotian and the Lotus Avatar, the exchange of divine senses between them had naturally been beyond the understanding of these juniors.
Lu Xiaotian had shared some of his insights into cultivation, as well as his experiences fighting various powerful experts, with the Lotus Avatar.
At the same time, Lu Xiaotian had also gained more cultivation insights into the Sacred Soul Sword Dao from the Lotus Avatar, which had greatly helped him perfect his own Dragon Soul Flying
