Just as the unease in Daoist Burning Lamp's heart reached its peak, a gentle voice suddenly rang in his ear without warning.
"Daoist Burning Lamp, how have you been?"
As the voice faded, a figure slowly emerged from the void. He wore a Daoist robe and bore a look of suffering on his face, yet endless Sage Dao Rhythm swirled around him.
It was none other than Sage Zhunti, one of the Two Sages of the West!
When Daoist Burning Lamp saw who had arrived, he froze for a moment before hurriedly bowing deeply.
"Your disciple Burning Lamp greets Sage Zhunti."
His heart churned violently. Sage Zhunti?
Why would he attack him? He had never had any dealings with the Western Teachings, much less offended them.
Sage Zhunti smiled and raised a hand, gesturing for Burning Lamp to rise.
"Daoist friend, there is no need for such formality."
Burning Lamp straightened, but did not dare relax in the slightest. He asked respectfully, "May I ask why the Sage sought me out? Please give your orders, and I will do everything in my power to carry them out."
Sage Zhunti still wore that compassionate expression as he looked at Burning Lamp and slowly spoke.
"I have come to present you with a tremendous opportunity."

Alarm bells rang in Burning Lamp's heart.

In the Primordial Wilderness, how could there be such a good thing?
The Two Sages of the West were renowned for their scheming. They never rose early without profit, so the opportunity they offered was probably not so easy to accept.
Thoughts raced through Burning Lamp's mind, but he did not dare reveal anything on his face. He merely became even more respectful.
"The Sage must be joking.
