As the Incense-Free Lord explained, Chen Miao gradually sorted out the jumble of obscure information in his mind.
Previously, Chen Miao had been like an ordinary man suddenly granted sixty years of cultivated power. He possessed immense internal energy, but had no idea how to use it.
Given enough time, he could have digested that power little by little, but that certainly could not compare to having someone with the same sixty years of power guide him through it.
That was what the Incense-Free Lord was doing now: helping him sort it out.
"Sorting it out" was not quite accurate, either. The Incense-Free Lord was merely explaining what he knew, while Chen Miao matched the information surfacing in his mind to those explanations and came to understand it.

Or rather, no one in the Mortal World
