Watching Gu Han's troubled expression, Yanshan did not press him further with words because, as a fellow Zen cultivator, he understood the Visualizing Soul Casting Technique very clearly.
At first glance, the Visualizing Soul Casting Technique seems similar to the Mimicry Technique, as both involve using one's own three souls and six spirits to condense a spirit that isn't the true form of the Human Race.
However, the two are fundamentally different. The Mimicry Technique is tangible; it mimics objects that the eyes can see and the hands can touch.
Whether it be the stars and the sea, or true dragons and Qilins, all are tangible existences.
This type of mirroring is either embedding one's soul into inanimate landscapes like the stars and the sea, or it is subduing and merging with the spirit of a beast, strengthening it with one's soul to mimic the beast's spirit, hence the name Mimicry Technique.
