No one knew how many years ago Ma Bin's cultivation had already reached a point where it could advance no further. Only in recent years had the bottleneck binding him shown the faintest signs of loosening. This was clearly connected to The Great Trend Descends that Lu Ye had mentioned.
After some thought, Ma Bin said, "Although I've never heard of The Great Trend Descends, I do know that among the stars, quite a few top-tier Sunlight cultivators, when their own cultivation can no longer advance, practice certain special methods.
