Getting back to the surface without any problems after being thrown out of the celestial gate, Xuan Hao didn't immediately redeem the reward from the quest but instead focused his attention on his current situation or more specifically his current small size.
Part of him had expected something like this to happen, while another part of him had been hopeful that the celestial gate would remove the entirety of the seal that had been placed on him instead of only the part that restricted his use of the Dao of Space.
Now that he did find himself shrunk down and without any way to reasonably increase his own size back to normal with his current comprehension of the Dao of Space, he couldn't help feeling that the reward from the quest regarding increasing his comprehension of the Dao of Space should be focused on figuring out how to return his size back to normal again.
