Faced with True Monarch Qingluan's inquiry, True Monarch Canglong revealed a helpless, bitter smile. Only after a moment did he slowly speak:
"This humble Daoist does not wish to deceive you. I can only say that I will do my utmost to press the matter, but I cannot give you any guarantee as to when."
The interests tangled behind this matter were exceedingly complicated, and many sects had to be coordinated. He was helpless about it as well.
