"What you can help me breakthrough?" exclaimed the Earth Elder, both confused and overjoyed.
Just like most other talented cultivators on the continent, the Earth Leader had been stuck at the peak of the Heaven Mortal Cultivation Level for year decades.
The Gamma King and Queen were more powerful than him because of their skills, techniques and combat prowess, but in terms of cultivation level, they were the same.
If the Earth Leader was able to breakthrough, he would become the strongest on the continent after Lex and his companions left and that would give him the power and authority to change things for the better of the continent.
Once Lex and his companions left, it was likely that the Gamma King and Queen would try to regain their power that was once the highest on the continent, but if Lex could help him breakthrough, the Earth Leader's wouldn't have to worry about that anymore.
"This is a big responsibility and I am trusting you to protect the continent and make sure that an atrocity like the one that the Voltiac Guild caused never repeats itself" stated Lex.
"Yes I know, but I am up to the task and promise I will put my life on the line for the continent and will do my best to make sure that the people of the continent are all happy. I will also make sure they all have equal opportunities and make sure the next generation is nurtured well" declared the Earth Leader.
"That is exactly what I wanted to hear, so now let's leave to a more secluded area so I can help you breakthrough" said Lex, satisfied with the Earth Leader's promises and drive.
"What, right now? Do you not need to make any preparations?" asked the Earth Leader.
"No, all we need is me and you" answered Lex as he suddenly appeared behind the Earth Leader and placed his palm on his shoulder.
Without warning, Lex suddenly teleported them both to the Spacial Mark that he had placed on the mountain that Angela had broken through at.
It was one of the most secluded areas on the continent, since it was known as a very dangerous place and had a harsh climate.
The Earth Leader didn't instantly react and after a few instants suddenly realised that they had just appeared in another location and was overwhelmed by the cold of the top of the mountain.
Lex's body wasn't fazed by the cold in the slightest, especially since his Elemental Body had reached the Golden Mortal Rank, making his physical power unbelievably high.
However the Earth Leader wasn't the same and had to use his Internal Energy to protect his body from the cold and after calming down, was prepared for the breakthrough.
"Well I have never done this before and am unsure if it will work, but are you willing to risk it?" asked Lex, not answering the Earth Leader's question.
"Yes, depending on what it is and how high the risk is" answered the Earth Leader who was willing to stake his life in order to breakthrough and didn't have much else to lose after losing his daughter during the Voltiac Guild's attack.
"My plan is simple, the reason you and many others haven't be able to breakthrough is because you don't have the method to and also don't have enough energy to do so, but I will guide you and will also provide you enough energy to breakthrough" stated Lex.
What he said seemed so simple and basic, but both of them knew that it would be a miracle if it actually worked and no ordinary peak Golden Mortal would be able to help a peak Heaven Mortal breakthrough.
The only reason that Lex was confident in doing so was because of his extremely dense energy, his sharp senses and his Telekinetic Control Eye that should allow him to control the flow of energy in the Earth Leader's body.
If one resisted Lex's control through the Telekinetic Control Eye it was very hard for him to gain control and Lex would only be able to disturb the flow of energy or blood in one's body. He could also affect the beating of one's heart and if it was against a weak-willed individual, he could force their heart to stop beating.
He had tested it out on Angela and a few others, but he had held himself back and had never tried to take complete control over one's energy flow.
It required extreme focus and concentration and was very hard to do, but if the Earth Leader didn't resist, he should be able to do it with his perceptivity.
"If you go through with this, there is a risk that you die and if I fail and you don't die, the process would have probably damaged your cultivation and your internal organs. However, if it succeeds, then you will break through to the Golden Mortal Rank and become the strongest individual on the continent" stated Lex, wanting to make sure that the Earth Leader knew what he was getting himself into.
"Obviously I will try my best, but..." said Lex before being stopped by the Earth Leader.
"I don't know how you are going to do those things, but I trust you and am willing to go through with it, so there is no need to speak about it any longer" decided the Earth Leader after stopping Lex.
"You are right, let's get started" agreed Lex as he led him into the dark cave.
Lex instructed him to sit down in a lotus position and begin to cultivate, while he sat behind him and placed both his palms on the Earth leader's back.
[This will be very difficult and draining, but it must be done, otherwise, I may worry about the continent in the future, which will affect my mental state and cultivation progress] thought Lex to himself.
