After the Profound Court reached a resolution, Dai Tingzhi returned to the Void World-Domain. Half a month later, a disciple reported that the man had emerged from seclusion. He sent a wisp of his Primordial Spirit into Mystic Chaos Heaven, standing atop a certain star, and said, "Please announce that Profound Court Tingzhi Dai Gonghan has come to visit."
Before the disciple on duty at the gate could enter and report, Ying Zhuan had already come out and saluted him. "Greetings, Tingzhi Dai."
Dai Gonghan returned the salute and said, "Mysterious Venerable Ying, it has been a long time. I have come this time at the Profound Court's behest, specifically to find you."
Ying Zhuan calmly asked, "What do you need me to do?"
Dai Gonghan came straight to the point. "The Profound Court needs to select a group of Mysterious Venerables. Over the next one or two hundred years, we will devote all our strength to supporting their cultivation. During this period, the resources for cultivation, even the essential formulas of the Dao, will all be supplied by the Profound Court. Those receiving support need only state their requirements and need concern themselves with nothing else. You were in seclusion before, so it was inconvenient to disturb you. I have come now to ask whether you are willing."
Ying Zhuan was someone they had focused on. His achievements and experiences in the Lower Layer had been astonishing. Yet after reaching the Upper Layer, his progress in cultivation seemed somewhat slow. This was precisely ideal, for it allowed the Profound Court to lend him aid.

Ying Zhuan considered briefly and said, "I am willing."
Dai Gonghan said, "Good.
