Having absorbed all the teachings recorded within the Voice Spirit Stone, receiving the full breadth of the Daoist arts and legacy left by Elder Guo Lanfeng, the time had come for Lang Tian and Yue Ling to depart this sacred place.
Lang Tian clasped his hands, knelt, and kowtowed three times before the venerable remains of the elder, his heart brimming with gratitude and awe.
As he rose, his eyes gleamed with resolute determination, his voice echoing through the cavern with unwavering conviction:
"This humble junior, Lang Tian, bows in gratitude to Elder Guo for illuminating the path forward. This grace is etched into my bones and heart. I vow to dedicate myself to cultivation, to grow strong swiftly, and to escape the Myriad Demons Shadow Valley. When that day comes, I swear to carry your remains back to the Crimson Lotus Sect, so you may find eternal rest within the ancestral sect."
Beside him, Yue Ling also quietly knelt, offering three reverent kowtows of her own.
