Elder Long´s Breaktrough

Three years sped by like a fleeting breeze. Bai Yu's relentless dedication had paid off. He had ascended to the lofty heights of the Mid Law Domain Master Realm several months prior. The prodigies, Bai Ying and Bai Feng, had also not disappointed, successfully breaching the threshold into the Xiantian Realm.

On a bright, sun-drenched morning, Bai Yu was in the midst of a profound exposition on the Sword Dao, his voice resonating through the assembled Bai Clan members. Suddenly, a shift in the atmosphere jolted everyone from their focus. Ominous dark tribulation clouds coalesced a few kilometers away from the Bai Clan, their oppressive aura causing even the Xiantian Realm experts to struggle for breath.

A calm smile graced Bai Yu's lips. With a casual wave of his hand, the crushing pressure inexplicably vanished from the Bai Clan grounds. Laughter rumbled from his chest. "It seems someone within the Bai Clan is attempting to break through to the Law Domain Master Realm," he declared, his words laced with amusement.

Gasps of astonishment rippled through the crowd. In a blink, Bai Yu vanished, reappearing a kilometer closer to the tribulation zone. The source of the commotion was now clear – Elder Long, the middle-aged man with flowing blue hair, stood defiant beneath the crackling energy of the heavens. He wielded his sword with practiced ease, his every movement a testament to his years of honed skill as he battled the tribulation.

Five grueling minutes ticked by. The intensity of the tribulation reached its peak before finally dissipating, revealing Elder Long bathed in the newfound aura of a Law Domain Master. A genuine smile stretched across Bai Yu's face as he materialized beside the Elder.

"Congratulations, Elder Long!" he boomed, his voice filled with pride.

Elder Long, his face flushed with exertion and exhilaration, chuckled. "Thank you, my Lord!"

Bai Yu's curiosity piqued. "Tell me, Elder Long, which Law did you manage to comprehend?".

Elder Long straightened his posture, a newfound confidence radiating from him. "I was fortunate enough to grasp the essence of the Water Law," he declared. A satisfied nod emerged from Bai Yu. "An excellent choice, Elder Long. Your mastery over the Water Law will be a valuable asset to the Bai Clan. In recognition of your achievement, I hereby promote you to the esteemed position of a Grand Elder".

Tears welled up in Grand Elder Long's eyes as he bowed deeply. "Thank you, Patriarch! This honor is more than I could have ever hoped for!"
