In a way, Lin Xiao was still their junior! As the sole heir of the Lin family's current generation, he should have been of the same generation as their grandfather. Yet, he found himself feeling jealous and resentful just now?
"Senior Brother, I've had a question for a long time," he suddenly looked at his Senior Brother, voicing his long-held confusion: "Why are you willing to slow down your cultivation speed to help your juniors at a time like this?"
"As the eldest disciple, isn't this what I should do?" Wu Zongshen shook his head, his hands moving in the air, his expression exceptionally serious. "This True Dragon aura in the world, I've never felt it so dense... Do you remember the past? When we descended the mountain with Master, we were merely at the Zhiwei realm..."
They weren't entirely reclusive, for instance, they were once considered prodigies, geniuses of their generation. By the age of twenty or thirty, they had already entered the Zhiwei realm, with limitless potential.
Back then, they had also descended the mountain with Master, secretly assisting the nascent Dragon Country in eliminating many individuals.
It was then that he first felt the True Dragon aura.
However, compared to now, that True Dragon aura back then felt like the sun setting in the west.
But Lin Xiao now... he was truly like the blazing sun!
Powerful, scorching, dazzling!
This signified that the future of the Dragon Country was about to reach its peak.
He felt every bit of it, the will of heaven and earth, the rules... He expanded his perception to its maximum, subconsciously murmuring, "Chen'an, seize this opportunity as well."
Even at this moment, he did not forget to remind his junior.
Jian Chen'an watched as Wu Zongshen calmly sat down cross-legged, entering a state of meditation, a hint of surprise on his face.
His Senior Brother was around the same age as him, yet at this critical juncture, he had entered meditation? This indicated he might have had an epiphany?
Was there truly something so significant within this True Dragon aura?
Jian Chen'an also tried his best to sense the aura within, but he soon gave up.
He suddenly opened his eyes, looked up, and then gazed at his Senior Brother, who was sitting in meditation on the ground. He let out a long sigh.
Perhaps, in this lifetime, he would never have the chance to surpass his Senior Brother. Both in terms of his magnanimity and his talent, Jian Chen'an was far behind.
Upon careful reflection, his Senior Brother's cultivation speed had always far surpassed theirs over the years. If not for his Senior Brother deliberately slowing down to allow his juniors to keep pace, to impart knowledge and solve their doubts, acting in place of their Master, perhaps his Senior Brother would have already become an elder of the Immortal Palace by now.
He was a true genius...
As he was lost in thought, Wu Zongshen on the ground began to frantically absorb the surrounding spiritual energy.
It was starting!
Jian Chen'an instinctively began to prepare to guard Wu Zongshen!
This situation meant that their eldest Senior Brother was finally about to break through!
Before, he couldn't understand why their Senior Brother had suppressed himself and not chosen to break through. Now, Jian Chen'an understood the limitations of entering the Divine Realm.
The Divine Realm prohibited any action against those below it, and he now understood the origin of this rule.
His Senior Brother chose to suppress his cultivation to experience more and to better explain things to his juniors.
However, after this recent enlightenment, it seemed he could no longer suppress it.
Spiritual energy was rapidly absorbed, and Wu Zongshen's aura grew increasingly potent.
