At present, Shen Mo could still continue raising the overall strength of the Soul Generals within the banner.

If he merely stored the Soul Generals in the Soul Refining Banner without condensing Soul Bodies for them or letting them engage in fierce battles outside, there would be no great issue.

Shen Mo could promote more fourth-tier Demon Soul Generals to the fifth tier to serve as array cores, or strengthen the existing fifth-tier Demon Soul Generals. Yet if he did so, the number of Soul Generals below the fifth tier forming the array foundation would decrease.
