He Pingsheng had actually heard this explanation before.
When Qiao Huizhu had given him the [Enlightenment Tea leaves], she had said they were used to improve comprehension.
Comprehension was what one used to grasp the great principles of heaven and earth.
But he did not really understand how it worked.
So he said, "This disciple does not know!"
"Mm!" the Grand Ancestor of the Great Void said. "It is perfectly normal that you do not know!"

"A barrier to your understanding of the Power of the Laws and the principles between heaven and earth!"
