""Ao Ling, this is your master's master. Aren't you going to perform the rites of respect?"
Yibai declared his identity.
"Greetings, Grandmaster!"
Upon hearing this, Ao Ling, facing the Dongyue Emperor, performed a grand kowtow.
"No need for such formalities. You are Xuan Shen's disciple, it should be Xuan Shen who chooses a Dharma name for you; but, since Xuan Shen has requested that I bestow upon you a name, then I shall give you one. Following the generational character, you should have 'Zhi'."
"It is often said that meditation can help one refine the demonic within and comprehend the chaotic scriptures, but if one truly attains clarity of mind, what demonic nature is there to speak of? I hope you will soon comprehend and witness the light. I grant you the character 'Xi,' thus you shall be Zhi Xi."
The Dongyue Emperor's eyes were fixed on Ao Ling, as though he could see through all of Ao Ling's being.
"Thank you, Grandmaster. Zhi Xi understands your intentions."
