Chu Zhiyuan knew that this was caused by the Heavenly Sword.
The Jade Heaven Sword acts as a small container for the power of the Heavenly Sword, naturally able to receive its power.
It instantly restored itself, comfortably and easily.
This absorption of the Heavenly Sword's power results in a real loss of power for the Heavenly Sword, which needs time to recover.
The Emperor's Sword is the true clone of the Heavenly Sword; compared to it, the Jade Heaven Sword is far inferior, serving only as a container for power.
He often wondered if, aside from being a clone of power, it had other functions.
Could it serve as the eyes of the Heavenly Sword, with every move of his seen by Lu Wanshan?
If that were the case, it would not be entirely a bad thing.
As they say, there is nothing that cannot be spoken openly.
All his actions were upright and honorable. Certainly, his clone needed to be kept secret.
This was a secret among secrets, which must not be revealed to outsiders.
