"Ask that Fellow Daoist Lin?"
The jade arrow trembled slightly, and Venerable Dongyan's puzzled voice came from it. "Fellow Daoist Xiao, do you mean... that Fellow Daoist Lin just happens to understand the Dao of Space-Time Light at the level of Primordial Unity Giving Birth to Limitless?"
"Uh... I'm not entirely sure either." Xiao Sui hesitated, then said, "But Senior Lin should be able to help."
