In the Layered Mountains Continent, when Jiang Chen's Yang Spirit completed its breakthrough and reached Pure Yang, Spirit Lord, who had originally been tempering his realm's barriers and constantly approaching the Late Celestial Phenomenon Realm, suddenly felt his mind tremble.
"The essence of my soul is improving. Has the main body completed its breakthrough?"
Having guessed at a possibility, Spirit Lord abruptly turned his gaze toward the Southern Wilds Continent. At that moment, his heart was filled with both shock and delight.
As one of Jiang Chen's clones, he understood the significance of taking this step better than anyone else.
"Back then, the main body went to the Southern Wilds Continent and left me and the Mist Flood Dragon here precisely as a precaution. If the Southern Wilds Continent truly proved extraordinarily dangerous and things became impossible, he could still escape the danger directly through the Mind-Leap Technique. But now it seems that was merely needless worry."
As his thoughts collided, Spirit Lord found it difficult to calm his emotions for a time. Once upon a time, his soul had been nothing but a blank slate, but today, he possessed an extremely high level of sentience, equivalent to one aspect of Jiang Chen's divided self.
"The main body shows no sign of returning yet. He will probably remain in the Southern Wilds Continent for some time. I wonder what he encountered there. His perception spread out, yet he found nothing. Spirit Lord fell into thought, but soon severed these tangled thoughts, because they were meaningless. Before advancing, Jiang Chen had already possessed the ability to explore the Southern Wilds Continent. Now that he had completed his advancement, he would naturally be even more at ease. Even if he truly encountered trouble there, he should still be able to escape safely.
