Despite this despair, the reason that Di Tou despite being at the Spiritual Palace Stage wasn't fully confident in dealing with Void Returning Stage experts, and why the step between the Void Returning Stage and the Spiritual Palace Stage couldn't be considered a qualitative one in certain ways was because the Spiritual Palace Stage's main benefit was having an absolute sanctuary.
You were safe, you were beyond the 'laws.' In your Spiritual Palace you couldn't be touched! This meant that assuming the Spiritual Palace Stage expert wasn't a fool that refused to back off, in a confrontation with a Void Returning Stage expert, they were at an absolute advantage in the fact they could never 'lose' in the sense of being killed. This was indeed an absolute suppression.
