Worth mentioning was that, in this enhancement, even his waist was included in the 'upper body' range, which gave Song Shuhang an extra sense of security, a reassuring heftiness!
The pseudo-eternal 'smoke' body wasn't absolutely defensive, and there was still a possibility of the waist getting eroded away.
But now, with his waist covered in 'sub-immortal' skin, the number of beings in the myriad realms capable of breaking through his defenses and delivering a kidney blow could be counted on one's fingers — ten fingers were more than enough!
Moreover, the effects of the 'Virtuous Seed' swallowed by the 'fat whale golden core' hadn't disappeared. Its ability to connect to the 'virtuous network' was perfectly inherited by the fat whale golden core.
Fat whale golden core skills +1.
Song Shuhang's 'virtue, karmic and everlasting path' benefited from this and took a step further, with the 'Cultivation Chat System' also receiving a partial enhancement.
