Yu Chen's many incarnations were kept busy, and naturally, his true body was no less burdened.
There were not many people he could speak with now. After some time had passed, Immortal Su Hua of West Kunlun noticed that something was wrong with Yu Chen. She silently calculated for a while, understood the reason, and could not help but advise him.
