Lack of talent? I'll buy a year's worth of cultivation for one dollar!

"It took me 300,000 years to finally master the Domain Lord-level lightning technique that my master taught me."

"Now, it can achieve a normal growth rate of 12,000 times."

At this point, an absolute sense of confidence flashed in Lei Wuji's eyes.

Twelve thousand times!

Among their peers in the Primordial Divine Martial Sect, this was already an achievement that stood out from the crowd.

With his talent, who in the inner sect dares to say that their mastery of the Thunder Law can definitely surpass his?

He had long coveted this inheritance of the Realm Lord.

That was his lifelong pursuit.

It was also his only hope of reaching a higher level.

But now.

But Master wants to give it to an outsider?

For a complete beginner?

"Master."

Lei Wuji looked at the Grand Elder.

"This disciple does not understand."

"That guy named Su Yu is indeed exceptionally talented; he was able to clear the Tower of Babel."

"But no matter how powerful he is, isn't he still just a celestial being?"

Lei Wuji's voice carried an air of condescending objectivity.

"Five million source blood."

"That's truly appalling."

"But this disciple already possesses five hundred million units of Origin Blood!"

"A difference of a hundredfold!"

"Moreover, he cultivates the intent of the spear, not the laws of thunder."

Lei Wuji frowned slightly.

"A celestial being with no foundation in thunder."

"What gives you the right to bypass my disciples and take away the highest inheritance of Thunderfire Peak?"

"Why can't this legacy be passed on to a disciple?"

Inside the main hall.

A deathly silence fell.

The Grand Elder looked at Lei Wuji with a very complicated expression.

There was relief, helplessness, and a deep sense of heartache.

Of course he knew how hard Lei Wuji was working.

They also knew how outstanding Lei Wuji's talent was among his peers.

A 12,000-fold increase.

That's excellent comprehension.

but.

The Grand Elder slowly shook his head.

"The Limitless."

The elder's voice carried a weariness born of a lifetime of experience.

"It's not that I don't want to give it to you."

"But..."

The Grand Elder paused, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"Giving it to you would only harm you!"

Lei Wuji frowned almost imperceptibly.

"Did you ruin me?"

"Yes."

The Grand Elder stood up and walked to Lei Wuji.

His gaze was deep and penetrating.

"What do you think a World Lord-level inheritance is?"

"Is it a divine martial arts manual that, once you get your hands on it, you can simply follow the steps to master it?"

The elder sneered.

"Completely wrong!"

"The inheritance of a Realm Lord—that's the 'Dao' of a Realm Lord-level powerhouse!"

"It is a manifestation of the fundamental laws of the universe!"

The elder's tone became exceptionally stern.

"It has no words, no diagrams."

"Only the purest and most violent essence of thunder!"

"To comprehend it, one must use one's own soul to confront the devastating thunder that can obliterate everything!"

The elder extended his right hand.

A faint, dark purple lightning flashed in his palm.

But the lightning flashed with an uncontrollable frenzy.

"I myself have cultivated this 'Nine Heavens Annihilation Thunder Scripture' for millions of years."

"To this day, I have only barely grasped the basics."

"It hasn't even reached the perfection of the cultivation technique chapter."

"Not to mention domains and profound mysteries."

The Grand Elder looked at Lei Wuji with bitterness in his eyes.

"Wuji" (无极).

"You cultivated a Domain Lord-level lightning technique for 300,000 years before achieving a 12,000-fold increase."

"This level of comprehension is indeed top-notch among ordinary geniuses."

"But in the face of the World Lord's legacy."

The Grand Elder ruthlessly shattered Lei Wuji's pride.

"not enough."

"Not nearly enough!"

The Grand Elder took a deep breath.

"The inheritance of the Realm Lord does not consider whether your cultivation level is at the Eternal Star level or the Domain Lord level."

"It only looks at one thing—understanding!"

"If you don't have the comprehension, you're forcing yourself to understand."

"Your soul will be assimilated by the annihilating thunder in an instant."

"If I were to give you this inheritance, you would absolutely dedicate your entire life to it."

"Because your pride won't allow you to give up."

"But you can't even get started."

"The final result is that cultivation has completely stagnated."

"Even worse, they might be consumed by the backlash of the lightning, suffer a qi deviation, and be reduced to ashes!"

The Grand Elder patted Lei Wuji on the shoulder, his tone revealing deep lingering fear.

"You are my most prized disciple."

"As your teacher, I cannot stand by and watch you go to your death."

"That would really hurt you!"

After listening to the elder's analysis.

Lei Wuji remained silent.

He could sense the concern and protectiveness in his master's words.

but.

The obsession in his eyes did not disappear because of this.

On the contrary, it became even more intense.

His calm and composed nature prevented him from contradicting his master's judgment.

But his blind confidence made it impossible for him to accept the result.

"My master said I lack comprehension."

"They said I would go mad from practicing qi cultivation."

Lei Wuji calmly analyzed the situation in his mind.

"This is just Master's subjective judgment."

"I achieved a 12,000-fold increase in 300,000 years of cultivation, which is already extremely efficient."

"I don't believe it. I haven't even reached the threshold of the Realm Lord's inheritance."

Lei Wuji raised his head.

His gaze remained calm, yet it conveyed an unwavering determination that refused to yield.

"Master."

"I understand your good intentions."

Lei Wuji bowed slightly.

"But I am still not convinced."

"You said that Su Yu has high comprehension, and that if I saw his cultivation level, I would know how powerful he is."

Lei Wuji spoke calmly.

"But I have not seen it with my own eyes."

"All this disciple knows is that I have given away the highest inheritance of this peak to an outsider without any testing."

"This is unlikely to convince the public."

The elder frowned.

"What are you going to do?"

Lei Wuji remained composed and presented his countermeasures in a reasoned and well-founded manner.

"Since Master believes that the inheritance of the Realm Lord is extremely dangerous and requires extremely high comprehension."

"Well, it's best to have some rules and regulations for this kind of thing."

Lei Wuji stared directly at the Grand Elder.

"Set an assessment criteria."

"If you pass, you will receive the inheritance of the Realm Lord."

"If he fails, it means he is not destined for this method, and it cannot be forced."

Lei Wuji's voice was firm and resounding.

"fair."

"just."

"public."

"This way, we can reduce the complaints from many disciples within the peak."

Lei Wuji paused for a moment, then unleashed his final trump card.

"Otherwise, it would be a waste that an eighteen-year-old disciple, who is only at the Hengxing level, could so easily take away the inheritance of the Realm Lord of Thunderfire Peak."

"It would cause gossip."

"It will also significantly reduce the credibility of the rules set by Thunderfire Peak!"

"In the future, who will be willing to risk their life to contribute to the sect in exchange for cultivation techniques?"

Well-reasoned and supported by evidence.

Impeccable.

The Grand Elder sat in the main seat, silent.

Looking at his calm and rational eldest disciple, he felt a mix of emotions.

Lei Wuji is right.

The Primordial Divine Martial Sect is, after all, a place that values ​​rules.

Previously, on Tongtian Peak, he had been provoked by the Second Elder, and with the Sect Master's encouragement, he had been pushed forward.

In a moment of impulsiveness, he made a promise to unconditionally open up the inheritance.

But this is indeed illogical.

The inheritance of a realm master is not something that can be given away for free.

What you said makes some sense.

The elder pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded.

"In that case..."

"How do you think this assessment should be structured?"
