Immortal Granny Dongxuan shamelessly went on about how difficult things had been for her, hoping to persuade Shi Feiyang to return those three Serpent God incarnations.
Her five Serpent God incarnations differed from the External Incarnations cultivated by the Mystic Sect. Whether it was the Mystic Sect housing a Second Primordial Spirit or evil cultivators refining Three Corpse Primordial Spirits, those were divisions of the cultivator's own primordial spirit, formed from condensed essence qi or lodged in lifeless external objects such as precious pearls.
Her five incarnations used Substitute Gu as intermediaries to link her primordial spirit to those of five Serpent Monsters, which she then suppressed and controlled through her powerful spiritual strength and magic.
The advantage of this method was speed. In a very short time, she had subdued five Serpent Monsters with over three thousand years of cultivation and refined them into her External Incarnations.
The drawback was that she could not command them as effortlessly as her own fingers, as the Mystic Sect could with divided primordial spirits. Moreover, if she was injured and could no longer suppress the five Serpent Gods, they would turn on her.

Shi Feiyang knew she was not lying about this. He had studied Bai Guanhong's curse carefully, and unless Immortal Granny Dongxuan was killed,
