Shi Lang made his way to the forbidden valley, and Cao Ming called him inside. The Terran was about to kneel when he sensed a strong force preventing him from doing that. He looked at the middle-aged man, who said, "I have a task for you."
Shi Lang stood up straight and said, "Master, please tell me what to do?"
Cao Ming spoke with his evergreen sunshine smile on his face, "Leave the sect and come back when you step on the peak of the Dao General realm, you have to do it in one year."
Shi Lang was shocked, and wanted to ask why he must do any of it within a year, but then he just nodded and took the command. Cao Ming said, "I know you want to ask me many questions, but your Dao Plant has turned into something I have never seen. It is a golden lotus condensed with the plethora of Dao Laws. You can only comprehend so much in the sect. So, go out and travel, acquire resources on your own. You will grow stronger that way."
