Lin Chen didn't hide anything and explained everything fully.
The Great Elder appeared dazed upon hearing this and said, "That shouldn't be."
"Does the Great Elder know about this matter?" Lin Chen asked.
"Do you know the origin of the Path to Immortality?" the Great Elder inquired.
"It's said to be a remnant of history," Lin Chen replied, "Isn't it?"
"Naturally, it is," the Great Elder nodded, saying, "But do you know that the Path to Immortality is said to have a hundred levels, but it's actually more than that."
After hearing this, Lin Chen spoke incredulously, "But many students have counted, and it indeed has a hundred levels."
The Great Elder said seriously, "The Tree Ancestor once ascended to the 100th level, but it found traces of a break above."
"Do you mean there's more path beyond, but it's broken?"
"Correct."
"But what's the connection with the human figure?" Lin Chen asked, puzzled.
