Supreme Elder Hong

Lei Jin and Qing Ning simply smiled at the comments of Le Xue and Lein Yue. Qing Ning had felt something from each of these girls. She felt like she would be able to get along famously with both of them. Lei Jin looked up, noticing something a little off with Elder Hong's breakthrough. Lei Jin was the first to notice it.

"Zi Rong, Ling Shi, Xin Xia. Come to the courtyard." Lei Jin sent a thought message to the three of them. All appeared at once. "I'd like you to watch this with your own eyes." He added after they appeared.

"Oh, is husband going to …" Zi Rong started.

"You should watch. Along with all the elders present, I ask that everyone pays close attention." Lei Jin said confidently.

It was at this point the Supreme Elders finally noticed the issues. Not because the Supreme Elders grew more perceptive. No! It was just that these issues were increasingly more noticeable. This wasn't a simple matter, the entire Cave Heaven was paying attention to this breakthrough. Some further away than others. Then The Elders noticed it. The only two who didn't notice this were Elder Na Ren's disciples. Lei Jin's wives had the ability of a connected soul to a certain degree. So naturally if Lei Jin wanted to let them know it was a simple matter for him.

"Supreme Elder Azure Heart, do not worry. My father-in-law will be just fine." Lei Jin said comfortingly with a degree of confidence that was unheard of given the situation.

"If you say so. I'll trust that Lei Jin is correct. I'm sure you have some method." Supreme Elder Azure Heart said.

Lei Jin simply nodded. His Wives knew exactly what he was going to do. It could be considered dangerous but he was indeed the only one who could pull it off. You see, his Master had many different abilities, one of these skills was to act as a burden bearer. It was the true meaning behind what it meant to be a pillar. The Cave Heavens all had their own methods of aiding the breakthrough of the open heaven realm. Yin-Yang Paradise had an ancient chant. Azure Void had a single method.

Lei Jin rose up on equal level to Elder Hong. "I am a pillar, I am one who bears weight, I am here, You will not fail! I will ease your burden." Lei Jin said.

Instantly most of the remaining weight of the breakthrough was lifted off of Elder Hong. This was not something that would lower the result. No, it was something that allowed Elder Hong a moment to catch up to the progress of the breakthrough. However, this put an absolutely massive burden on Lei Jin. This was far more than he had ever dealt with before. Thus he began sweating instantly.

"If this is the burden of one 8th rank. Then what does it truly mean to bear the burden of the whole Cave Heaven? Master, I finally understand why you wished for me not to use this without the resolve of many months and at peak condition. This is simply a ludicrous amount of pressure." Lei Jin thought as he mobilized his strength to help bear the burden.

Elder Hong had caught up to the energy and could now actively pull from the storm once again. It took him a whole day to catch up. So when he opened his eyes he saw his son-in-law actively struggling with the ridiculous power of the baptism. "So, this is what he had up his sleeve. It was the Azure Void's Pillar method. I must not let this go to waste. Son-in-law, I thank you for this." Elder Hong thought to himself.

Elder Hong had originally managed to refine a third of energy in that full day. So he knew the degree of might it takes to hold themselves together bearing twice that. Elder Hong took half of the energy that Lei Jin had been keeping at bay for him. It was time he finish this breakthrough. Still Elder Hong was wary of handling all of the weight alone. Another half a day passed, Elder Hong had successfully refined two thirds of the baptism.

"Son-in-law has worked hard, you can rest now. This elder will finish the rest." Elder Hong whispered to Lei Jin.

"Good! I could use a nice long nap! Perhaps in one of my wife's laps. Yes, that sounds good." Lei Jin said, "Here is the rest of the energy father-in-law. I wish you success." he added.

Lei Jin released the Pillar method and floated back down, exhausted. That was much more than he had thought it was going to be.

"Lei Jin, are you alright?" Azure Heart asked worriedly.

"I'll be fine, Supreme Elder. My master can do that with ease. I could heal myself by returning my aura to my body if I needed. But don't expect me to pull that method out again any time soon." Lei Jin said slowly, recovering his breath.

"Good, I'm not going to let you use it unless you're in peak condition. That was too much even for you." Azure Heart said.

"The Supreme Elder is right. That storm is about 20 times larger than my last one. I surprised myself today. Though, the next time will be far easier." Lei Jin said with a smirk and a thumbs up.

"Husband! Will we have some more fun later?" Qing Ning said, clearly in heat.

As a matter of fact all of his wives were clearly in a state of pure desire. Seeing their husband be so powerful they couldn't help themselves. Truly a dragon among men.

"After a few things are taken care of. I have many guests to tend to. But for now let us watch as Elder Hong becomes Supreme Elder Hong." Lei Jin said, sitting down and laying his head in Qing Nings lap.

Elder Hong took slightly less time to refine the remaining baptism. The refinement took the remainder of the day. He finished the process and became an 8th rank Open Heaven Realm. The first thing he did when landing was to give Azure Heart a Kiss. Or rather it was more like he received a kiss from Azure Heart. It was hard to tell which of the two was more into the other. Which went on for a short while.

"Glad that's over with." Lei Jin thought.

"Ahaha I bet you are." all four of his wives said.

Which caused a little confusion but everyone just laughed knowing that Lei Jin has his methods.
