• Mu Ye explained that his breakthrough into the Spirit Domain Realm qualified him to condense a Spiritual Soul Core, adding to his qualifications in vital energy and Soul Power.
• Mu Ye told Xu Yuan that Battle Armor could not safely house a fourth Soul Core because it was an external, constantly changing structure, and that uniting three Soul Cores with heaven and earth was preferable.
