After Jiang Chen asked Chen Xi to take her fellow disciples with her and travel to the Heavenly Palace, he stopped into the Three Middle Realms to take care of the last matter.
Jiang Chen went into a city outside Shiluo Continent, looking for the exiled He Shou.
At that time, He Shou had been abandoned by the Genuine Heaven Sect because he had helped Jiang Chen fight against the Ancient Race. He had stayed in the Three Middle Realms because he didn't have any chance to change his situation.
After Jiang Chen convinced He Shou to go back with him to the Heavenly Palace, they both went back to the Seventh Realm.
"Are you going now to the Eighth Realm?" Upon witnessing that Jiang Chen was about to go on a journey, He Shou asked curiously.
"That is right. But there is still another me in the Heavenly Palace." Jiang Chen didn't inform him of the difference between the main body and the magical clones.
