In truth, Spirit Abyss Xuanwu had offered itself in sacrifice; its end had come neither naturally nor through being killed.
Thus, as it faded away, it had deliberately preserved a unique trace of its "self."
Chen Xiaojun had absorbed its soul ring, its immense soul power, and its refined essence in full. Its unyielding mental power, meanwhile, had miraculously condensed into a soul imprint, using its innate soul skill-Tortoise-Snake Divine Shadow-as a template.
This imprint had attached itself to the external soul bone born when Spirit Abyss Xuanwu's abundant, surplus essence fused with Chen Xiaojun's body. The two complemented each other, together marking the birth of an extraordinary external soul bone.
Otherwise, Spirit Abyss Xuanwu's overwhelmingly powerful mental power alone would have been enough to easily knock open the gates of Chen Xiaojun's upper soul nest.

One could say that Spirit Abyss Xuanwu had truly given him far too much.
