The disciple sprinted back to the Dao Palace, and quickly returned carrying a large sun umbrella.
After all, it was midsummer and almost noon.
Xu Yang sat under the umbrella.
Xu Yang said, "I'm going to send my primordial spirit into the octagonal well. Remember... no one should approach my body until my primordial spirit returns."
The disciple, who looked ready to die for his cause, assured him, "Master Xu, rest assured, I will protect your body even if I die."
Xu Yang couldn't help but laugh, "Isn't that a bit extreme? Wanshou Palace is now our territory, and I doubt anyone would dare cause trouble here."
He closed his eyes, crossing his legs, and with but a thought,
Whoosh!
The disciple felt a chill pass him. The next moment, Xu Yang's primordial spirit had left his body and landed near the octagonal well.
Unlike a physical body, a spirit is not a corporeal entity and can pass through walls and ground.
