"Ginseng Fruit, Elder Tai Su..."
At that moment.
The wind brushed their robes and scattered a corner of the smoky light within the hall.
Jun Yao tapped the desk lightly with a finger. His face showed neither delight nor bewilderment, only a faint look of consideration.
As the Jadechen Dao Scion, his status stood above that of the hall masters.
At certain times.
He could even stand on equal footing with the supreme sect master, meeting him as a peer.
Naturally, the countless rare books and scriptures stored within the school were his to browse at will, without any hindrance.
As for Elder Tai Su, that titan of the Immortal Dao who had survived since the ancient Dao Court era-
Others might be utterly at sea upon first hearing his name, but Jun Yao was no stranger to him.
He knew of the elder's three wagers with Monk Longzang over the Ginseng Fruit Tree.
He also knew.
The elder had later been recruited by the Dao Court. Not only had he been conferred the title "Primordial Sage and Benevolent Elder Lord of Tai Su," he had also been appointed Celestial Venerable of Xuanzhu Heaven, ruling over an entire heaven's sentient and insentient beings.
His might commanded the eight extremities, his power and position immense!
During the battle that brought down the Dao Court.
Elder Tai Su and the Xuanzhu Heaven under his rule had contributed greatly, slaying nearly ten Heavenly Demon Kings and Heavenly Demon Divine Lords, stemming the raging tide for a time.
Elder Tai Su had even unleashed the All-Heavens Fiery Blaze Scroll, which he had painstakingly refined for countless years, holding back Zhu Jingtian's endless rebel army for nearly a month.
This had prevented the many rebels from joining forces, needlessly costing them their opportunity in battle.
