A Lifebound Primordial Spirit Lamp was made by a Great Cultivator forcibly drawing out a wisp of a cultivator's life-bound true essence and sealing it with a special secret art. Linked to the cultivator's life spirit, it reflected their condition at any moment; if they were injured, the lamp would dim. Generally, only important members of a sect had a Great Cultivator help them make such a lamp. It was not something just any disciple could possess, and few cultivators even recognized one. After all, it involved a cultivator's life-bound true essence, so no one would casually display it to others. Xuandaozi recognized it because, as Sect Master of the Heavenly Dao Sect, he naturally had a Lifebound Primordial Spirit Lamp kept in safekeeping as well. Li Xiaoya's lamp had been made before he left the mountain, when the Three Immortals of the Heavenly Dao drew out his life-bound true essence while casting the Concealment Spell. They had done so to keep track of his condition at all times, which showed just how carefully they protected him.
"Indeed! This is my disciple's Lifebound Primordial Spirit Lamp." Heavenly Venerable Daoling nodded. After studying the lamp for a while, he smiled and said, "It seems Xiao Ya is still alive, and his lamp shines even brighter than before. He appears to have encountered another fortuitous opportunity!"
"Oh! Xiao Ya is still alive?! That's wonderful!" Xuandaozi breathed a sigh of relief. As Sect Master, he knew quite a bit about Li Xiaoya's importance. He had also grown up in the Heavenly Dao Sect, and his attachment to it naturally ran deep.
"It's all right. We Immortal Cultivators must weather many trials and fortuitous encounters to gain more opportunities to attain the Great Dao. Notify the disciples attending the Immortal Assembly to return!" Heavenly
