Yan Miao asked in confusion, "If that's the case, wouldn't it be impossible to ever go to the Divine Temple?"
Unless Lu Ye did not intend to return through the portal.
Lu Ye said, "Aside from that restriction, my conch has another function. It can leave an imprint somewhere. Once that is done, the portal it opens will lead to wherever the imprint was left, rather than in front of Sky Conch Hall."
Lu Ye had tested this long ago. Previously, he had left an imprint within Star Constellation Hall, and the portal had led there. If no imprint was left, the portal would lead here instead.
The imprint had a time limit, though that limit was fairly long—at least several months. Moreover, the imprint left behind could be erased with the conch.
