"What if you end up dying?"
He asked with a frustrated look on his face, rubbing his temples.
"I'll die a honorable death then."
The old man replied solemnly, causing the middle aged man to be even more angry.
"You-"
"Father, both you and I know that I have no hopes of achieving the Half Immortal Realm, forget breaking the curse. My life would be utterly wasted if I just sit and do nothing about it. The reason I'm going to challenge the Master of Eternal Peak isn't just because of my son, but also because I have a feeling that I'll perhaps find salvation there."
As soon as he said these words, the middle aged man fell silent.
After some time, he finally spoke up.
"Alright. Do whatever you want."
With that, the space around them distorted and before the old man could say anything, he was already outside of a grand palace floating in the sky.
