"Master, may your disciple ask a favor of you?" Jiang Yuan looked at the immortal-looking Daoist before him and fell to his knees with a THUD.

"As Master can see, your disciple has been preparing on this Enlightenment Cliff for sixty years. After your disciple accomplishes a great task, I will explain everything to you!"
"A great task? Is it related to Ye Chen, the new disciple you often ask about?" True Master Ziyun inquired.
