292: Excuse me?

“Ah?”

The Grand Elder immediately frowned, a little bewildered.

What kind of status did he hold in the Dao Asking Sect?

Not to mention a Disciple of the Dao Asking Sect, even the Sect Master, whose strength was greater than the Grand Elder’s, would give him some Face.

The Elder Council, needless to say, in terms of both Foundation and status, was incomparable to any Peak in the Sect.

This was the first time this old man had been pointed at and spoken to like this.

If it were any other Disciple of the Dao Asking Sect standing before him, the Grand Elder would have long since rolled up his sleeves and shown them what Sect rules were!

Someone like the Grand Elder, who viewed Sect rules as his bottom line, would absolutely do such a thing.

But precisely because it was Lu Bai who said these words, the Grand Elder felt that his bottom line could be pushed back further.

This was because the more he understood this White-robed Youth, the more convinced the Grand Elder became of one thing.

The future of the Sect did not lie with their generation, nor with the generation of the Sect Master who was in secluded cultivation for a Breakthrough…

But with the generation of Disciples like Lu Bai!

Leaving him aside, even Xiao Qingyun, Ye Chengying, and Meng Lang of Wen Jian Peak were top-tier Prodigies in Qingxuan Province, fully capable of suppressing other top Sects.

Mu Chengkong of Main Peak and Yan Yuge of Punishment Peak had both Broken Through to the Nascent Soul Realm, and under the inspiration of such unique Formations, countless Disciples made rapid progress in their cultivation.

And all of this was because of the White-robed Youth standing before him!

Never mind if Lu Bai pointed at his nose and cursed him today; even if he did it tomorrow, the day after, or every day, as long as the Sect could be revived, what did breaking his rigid rules matter?

“Peak Lord Lu, this matter might be…”

The Grand Elder pondered for a moment, carefully choosing his words before speaking.

After all, he was also the Grand Elder of the Dao Asking Sect, in charge of the Elder Council, and he felt that this matter, at least on the surface, had to be handled properly.

But before the Grand Elder could finish his sentence, he saw a flurry of ancient pages, almost pressed against his Face, revealing a sea of content.

“Grand Elder, just look at this ancient book yourself,” Lu Bai said indifferently.

Without Lu Bai even needing to say anything, upon seeing these few ancient pages, the Grand Elder’s pupils suddenly constricted. This…

Why were these ancient books related to the Three Gods Realm so verbose, perfunctory, and lacking in focus?

This was simply outrageous!

Then, he looked at the serious-faced White-robed Youth standing before him and understood the importance of the matter.

“I will have the Elder Council thoroughly investigate this matter. No… I will handle this myself!” the Grand Elder said in a deep voice.

For most Cultivators, the Three Gods Realm was an insurmountable peak in their cultivation journey. Even for a top Sect like the Dao Asking Sect, Disciples who could reach the Golden Core and Nascent Soul Realms were already outstanding.

In recent years, no Disciple of the Dao Asking Sect had Broken Through to the Three Gods Realm, and the upper-level ancient books in the Scripture Pavilion concerning this Realm had gone unread, gathering dust.

But no matter what, it shouldn't contain such foul content!

Just as the Grand Elder’s eyes gleamed with anger, Lu Bai looked at the Grand Elder and lowered his posture, saying.

“I naturally trust the Grand Elder with this matter.”

“Hmph, of course.”

The Grand Elder snorted softly in his heart, half the anger in his eyes dissipating. Clearly, Lu Bai’s praise was quite gratifying to him.

“It’s just that when I was planning to Break Through to the Three Gods Realm, I encountered such a thing. Under my worry, my state of mind has probably been greatly affected…” Lu Bai sighed helplessly.

Seeing this, the Grand Elder immediately guaranteed, saying.

“No worries, I am here precisely for this matter.”

“The Three Gods Realm is a crucial step in a Cultivator’s cultivation, almost equivalent to re-tempering one’s spiritual power, physique, and Primordial Spirit, laying the Foundation for becoming a Saint. Therefore…”

“When Breaking Through to the Three Gods Realm, the choice is also quite important. The inferior method is to seize the opportunity to Breakthrough directly upon sensing the Breakthrough opportunity. For most Cultivators, being able to Breakthrough is already excellent,” the Grand Elder explained carefully and patiently.

Lu Bai nodded.

What he had felt back on Lingzhen Mountain was this kind of Breakthrough method. He felt that the Realm was incomplete, and therefore did not Breakthrough.

For ordinary Cultivators, as long as they could Breakthrough to the Three Gods Realm, even if it was a Yin Spirit Realm that could be defeated by Prodigies, it was still a genuine Yin Spirit Realm.

But for Lu Bai, it was far from enough.

Then, the Grand Elder directly skipped the middle and lower two methods of Breaking Through to the Three Gods Realm, staring at Lu Bai and slowly saying.

“With your talent and the Sect’s expectations for you, you must at least use the most superior Breakthrough method, with corresponding sacred objects as the base, supplemented by countless Innate spiritual Materials, to solidify the Foundation for becoming a Saint!”

Starting with sacred objects?

Lu Bai’s expression stiffened. He had thought that the superior Breakthrough method for the Three Gods Realm would be very demanding, but he hadn't expected such a high threshold.

So, he set his sights on the Grand Elder before him.

“Sacred objects? Grand Elder, why don’t you elaborate on the previous middle and lower methods?” Lu Bai feigned helplessness, turning and sighing.

“Hm?”

Hearing this, the Grand Elder was stunned.

Was Lu Bai planning to… just casually Breakthrough?

How could this be!

Then, the Grand Elder became anxious, flashing repeatedly to appear in front of Lu Bai, and said.

“The Sect will naturally resolve this matter for you. Tomorrow, I will send people to gather the corresponding Materials.”

Although the Grand Elder of the Elder Council was pedantic, he was not an unyielding person; his every word and action were for the Sect.

However, Lu Bai hadn't expected that after he spoke, the other party would directly take on the task of searching for Materials himself. Originally, he had only wanted the other party to agree to help prepare other Materials besides the sacred objects.

“How can I be so presumptuous? This is really troubling the Grand Elder…”

Lu Bai said awkwardly, a subtle arc already forming at the corner of his mouth.

Alright, now…

He could safely wait for the Materials to arrive, and then proceed to Break Through to the Yin Spirit Realm!

But just as Lu Bai was thinking this, he suddenly froze.

The heaven and earth evil token, which he had thought was completely useless, was at this moment…

Vibrating again!
