A Brief but Beautiful Time

As Ding True Man spoke, Gu Lan nodded thoughtfully, though his thoughts were quite different from those of the man before him. The teachings of the powerful beings from across the Star Realms were secondary—those who spoke could never be as strong as himself. However, the Supreme Treasure of Merits was worth checking out.

Five hundred years would pass in the blink of an eye, and perhaps by then, some unexpected opportunities would arise.

With his thoughts now refocused, Gu Lan looked at Ding True Man and summoned the Linglong Pagoda, which appeared in his palm.

"A thousand years from now, I will return your freedom. Enter now!" he instructed.

A thousand years was no trouble for him to wait. Without hesitation, Gu Lan gestured for Ding True Man to step into the Linglong Pagoda. As the man disappeared, Gu Lan's focus shifted to the mysterious seed in his hand. He placed it into the Linglong Pagoda as well.
