As Jiang Yan walked in front, he said, "The ancients believe that there are immortals in the sky. Only by meeting immortals on high ground can one obtain the Great Dao's heritage. Therefore, since ancient times, the East, West, South, and North Districts have myths regarding the Ascension. For example, in the fairy tales of the West District that we are more familiar with, a young man planted magic beans that ended up growing high into the sky. Then, he climbed up the beanstalk to a giant castle in the sky. There's also the Foundational Tree legend of our East District."
