The use of the layers (1)

This wasn't the first time Huang daoran had pressed the jade pendant. When Zhao Hai was in closed-door cultivation, Huang daoran would press the jade pendant once every one or two months to see if Zhao Hai had come out of his closed-door cultivation. Zhao Hai was already used to this. However, in the past, when he was in seclusion, he wouldn't have any reaction even if Huang daoran pressed the jade pendant. But now, it was different. Zhao Hai was about to go to the cultivation world, and Huang daoran pressed the jade pendant at this time. This was a huge help to Zhao Hai.

If Huang daoran didn't hand over the jade pendant and Zhao Hai killed his way into the cultivation world, Huang daoran would probably think that Zhao Hai could use the jade pendant to monitor him. If that happened, he might have a conflict with Huang daoran, which was not something Zhao Hai wanted to see.
