Yuanqing Courtyard.
Underground secret chamber.
"I have already organized everything for you, Master. I am just waiting for you to ask for it!"
The Black Dragon's voice emanated from the Profound Yin Hanging Bead, and its Soul Body materialized before Yang Chan.
The Black Dragon was much smaller now, only about the size of a palm. This wasn't because it was limited to this size, but because a larger Soul Body would drain more of its power.
It had now become the Artifact Spirit of the Profound Yin Hanging Bead, which would sometimes draw upon its power. Naturally, it had to conserve its strength; otherwise, it might be completely drained dry one day.
Its current Soul Body was the last repository of its power. If this Soul Body were to disappear, it too would dissipate and perish completely.
From Yang Chan, it had learned to be prudent. That's why it was conserving its strength. In the past, it would never have acted this way.
