Jiang Zuo was only a Tier One Cultivator, so it was impossible for him to truly perform Spirit Detachment. Only souls or Primordial Spirits could leave the body.
And a Primordial Spirit was not something Jiang Zuo could possess at his current level.
His spirit appearing on the battlefield was akin to Spiritual Perception.
When his Spiritual Perception gathered, it took on Jiang Zuo's characteristics. This caused the Fire Elemental Minions to resonate with it, making them think Jiang Zuo was physically present.
Jiang Zuo was also using this perception to conquer the Fire Elements.
This perception could be understood as a spiritual manifestation or a spiritual projection.
However, this Spiritual Perception was aimed primarily at the Fire Elements, so he couldn't see the actual situation around his physical body.
And right now, Jiang Zuo had no idea that his room was on fire—the war between the Fire Elements had sparked a real blaze.
