"No matter how varied the techniques used to create spirit clones may be, they all belong to peripheral and heterodox methods. Being obsessed with these will only hinder the progress of your cultivation. I, Lou Guandao, have never endorsed such tricks of dividing the spirit. I do not possess such abilities myself. If you truly wish to learn, seek advice from the head of the sect yourself."
Huh? Wait a minute, haven't I been using the Five Lores Sword Ghost all this time? And my cultivation progress has been delayed because of it??
Xuantian, "He fears wasting your energy on cultivating spirit clones and simply reminds you, although indeed using divided attention in cultivation has led you on a detour, as long as you can strike unexpectedly and break through tribulations in sword fights, overall you won't suffer a loss. Mainly, you started cultivating the sword embryo too late; otherwise, the improvement you gained from the slaying tribulation could have been even higher."
