Yuci had three avatars that were split off from his main body. Each one of them was extremely weak, with only the strength of a half-step mighty figure. Since they were sufficiently weak, the negative effects they had on the main body were sufficiently small.

Merit even descended upon Qin Yun.
"He's dead." Qin Yun said to his disciple, Bian Hanyu. "Let's return."
With that said, he took one step and disappeared from the Yellowbeard Great World with his disciple.

"Whoosh."
A yellow-haired elder appeared in the hall of Yuci's cave abode.
