I dunno but Scheneizel's notes said they thought it wasn't the Saketsu or something like that. This is what Scheneizel's translator note said in their version of this chapter.
T/N: 1. The 'chain'-The term used here is 'Kusari', which means 'chain'. Kubo has used the term 'kusari' when referring to the 'chain of fate' (as seen when Ichigo's was encroached upon, in the Shattered Shaft). However, Shinigami and Arrancars also have a 'chain', but in their case, Kubo has used the term 'Saketsu' or 'soul chain'. Uryuu destroyed Jirobo's Saketsu in the Soul Society arc, causing him to lose his Shinigami powers. Byakuya, too, destroyed Ichigo's Saketsu when he took Rukia away. But in this story, the term used is just 'Kusari', not 'Inga no Kusari' (or 'Chain of Fate' seen in Pluses). Therefore, it seems as if this organ of the Spirit King is neither the Chain of Fate nor the Soul Chain. It seems like an entirely different organ, specific to the Spirit King only. This actually does make sense. The Spirit King doesn't seem to be a Shinigami, so he shouldn't have a soul chain, he is neither a Plus, so he shouldn't have a chain of fate either.
