At Chen Lin's question, Zhiming shook her head slightly.
"That's rather difficult to determine. Based on what I know and what I've inferred, both possibilities probably apply."
"What do you mean?"
"I believe that since the Mysterious Domain has wardens from the Outer World as well as powerful figures from the Inner World, they may have reached some sort of agreement. Or perhaps, for some unknown reason, they're all trapped there and unable to leave."
At this point, Zhiming looked at Chen Lin. "Although the exact origins of the Mysterious Domain are unclear, one thing is certain: it must be connected to the Outer World. The levels of cultivation in the Outer World far surpass those in our Inner World."
Chen Lin fell silent for a while.
He actually leaned more toward the first possibility.
The reason was his identity as a Prison-Suppressing Envoy. The meaning of the words "prison-suppressing" was already clear enough.
If that was the case, then the Silver Fairy certainly knew the truth. Perhaps his master was even a descendant of one of the Outer World's wardens.
Taking that inference further, the Soul-Destroying Finger was a divine ability that required an Outer World soul to cultivate, which meant Mu Linglong was also a descendant of the Outer World's wardens.
His own circumstances, however, were rather unusual.
His body belonged to the Inner World, but his soul belonged to neither the Inner World nor the Outer World. Earth, where he had lived in his previous life, belonged to a plane "without laws" and had no connection to the cultivation world.
Yet he could cultivate the Soul-Destroying Finger.
From this, he could infer that the living beings of the Inner World were subject to some kind of restriction from birth!
The more Chen Lin thought about it, the
