The shadows in the mortal world are omnipresent, his information is certainly the most well-informed, perhaps he knew long ago that the Azure Dragon planned to relocate Beimang, so he chose that location to lurk.
Since the information is so well-informed, capable of planning for the next epoch, being absorbed with just an "ah" is a bit unreasonable... from this judgment, Snow Eagle is likely a reborn fragment of his soul, and the so-called absorption is intentionally integrating himself.
No wonder he collaborated with Bodhisattva... and with his soul dwelling in thousands, raising fish, he acts as an assassin, which quite aligns with those omnipresent shadow characteristics.
Such behavior aligns with a dark BOSS, originally something Jiuyou should do, he is indeed deliberately replacing Jiuyou.
