Episode 15 question: constraint on Shen Wei's powers

When Shen Wei is explaining his power to Zhao Yunlan in ep 15 (timestamp 14:36), he says he's "restrained by Zhenhun token and black power itself".

Anyone know what he means by the Zhenhun token?


Complete subtitles: I only have one ability as well: learn. I can transfer the ability I see into my own. In principle, my material is endless. Actually, I am restrained by Zhenhun token and black power itself, so I can show limited power here. You thought too highly of me, if viewing me as omnipotent.

I totally agree, that's way beyond the paygrade of the head of SID.

But I think the SID has been around for like 10k years, obviously in changing shapes and forms. I think (*sigh, must watch eps again*) that gets stated somewhere in the later episodes...

Oooh, really? I would love for that to be canon. Do let me know if you come across this reference again!
