He was silent for a moment, his voice still steady. "The Taiyin Profound Mirror Dao Fruit does indeed have some connection to my Daoist Techniques. I once expended great effort to divine its trajectory. That you were able to seize it is your destiny, and also a testament to your ability."

His frank admission of his feelings actually allowed Xu Yunfan to relax slightly.
"But as you said, you were in a desperate situation with your Dao on the line. In the pursuit of a sliver of hope for survival, no measure is too extreme. This is the norm in the Cultivation Realm."
