"Have you, by now, found your own path?" The elderly man glanced at Jiang Ning, speaking aloud.
"I have!" Jiang Ning nodded.
"Not surprising!" The elder replied, "For you to reach the First Grade Unity Realm now, your fortunes and opportunities are beyond measure, but your comprehension must be extraordinary. If you hadn't found your own path, that would be the surprising part."
The elder looked at Jiang Ning and continued, "Initially, my expectations of you weren't high. To reach my level, for thousands of years, no one has achieved it, not even those from the Upper Immortal. But now, in you, I see substantial hope. I hope that if you manage to reach my level in the future, you can bring peace to this world."
Jiang Ning replied, "Even if you hadn't mentioned it, I would still strive for that."
