As Di Yi understood it, the beings of the Lower Realm knew the Original True Understanding only as a legend. None had ever seen it; only beings of the Upper Realm truly understood it.

It played an important role.
"That Broken Willow appearing in Stone Village... now it seems that wasn't an accident..." Di Yi had originally thought that Broken Willow had come from the Upper Realm and fallen into Stone Village in the Lower Realm simply because a breach had opened there, allowing passage.
