The only difference was that before, the Mirror Image and the anchor—Li Shifan and the others—were two separate things.
But now, with the passive Dao Mark and the integration of the Scattering Beans into Soldiers technique, his Summoning Object itself could also be considered a partial anchor.
It couldn't be used quite like the anchors such as Li Shifan, which acted as a gateway within a ten-kilometer radius for all sorts of actions, like summoning another Mirror Image to that location.
But with the advent of the Bean Soldier and the Dao Mark, even after his Bean Soldier left an anchor like Li Shifan and reverted to an ordinary super-soldier, he could still use the Dao Mark to remotely channel the Splitting Dao through the Spirit Nurturing Space and upgrade it.
He could also retrieve it remotely via the Dao Mark and the Spirit Nurturing Space. By combining the Splitting Skill with his Spirit Nurturing Summoning Technique, he had solved the skill's greatest drawback.
