During this time, aside from instructing the constables, Su Xin had spent the rest of his time pondering the path he should take after entering the Divine Palace Realm.
To advance from the Divine Palace Realm to the Primordial Spirit Realm, one had to choose an object of Spirit Transformation to refine. Martial artists called such an object a Spirit-Manifesting Vessel.
The spirit itself was formless and intangible. Only by joining it with a Spirit-Manifesting Vessel could one communicate with the power of heaven and earth and refine one's spirit into a Primordial Spirit.
