Chapter 83: I Met Two Interesting Individuals
***
Outside the mystic realm, experts from various sects were gathered. They directed their attention towards multiple screens that materialized in the air, displaying plenty of scenes from different locations within the mystic realm.
"Haha, splendid! The Zi family shall ascend to even greater heights," exclaimed an expert of the Zi family, his gaze fixed upon a screen displaying fellow clan members diligently unearthing a treasure hidden deep within a cave.
"Well done, Old Zi. The fortunes of your family are on the rise," chimed in another expert, extending warm congratulations to the Zi family expert.
"Haha! It appears that the mystic realm is filled with unexpected marvels and untold treasures yearning to be discovered. Lady Luck has certainly favored my family on this occasion."
The experts from other sects were envious; why didn't their family find a good treasure?
Multiple cases were occurring as numerous experts from various clans watched their young generations fight or seek treasure.
The mystic realm appeared to be brimming with surprises and untapped treasures, eagerly awaiting discovery, enticing many families to vie for their portion of the spoils.
Envy consumed the experts from various clans as they witnessed others finding treasures, resulting in a multitude of cases where the younger generations engaged in fierce conflicts or embarked on treasure hunts.
The discovery of a valuable treasure in the mystic realm ignited a tangible wave of excitement, rapidly spreading among the different experts. Everyone wanted to know who had found the treasure and what it was.
Atop a hill stood three elderly experts, their gazes fixed upon the screens housed within the mystic realm. Among them were Xu Zhiyuan and, alongside him, the two elders hailing from the Immortal Sword Sect.
"Tsk," one of the elders expressed disapproval as he scoffed at the screen. "These young ones are devoid of any talent; they are worse than trash!."
"What do you expect, Fifth Elder? Let us not forget that this is a remote continent. If it weren't for that particular thing, do you believe we would have even considered granting such a continent the opportunity to join our esteemed Immortal Sword Sect?"
"You are correct, Sixth Elder," acknowledged the Fifth Elder with a nod. He then turned his gaze towards Xu Zhiyuan and inquired, "Second Elder, what is your opinion on this matter?"
"..." Xu Zhiyuan fell silent, his gaze fixed upon a specific screen where two individuals were engrossed in their cultivation.
After a moment, he turned towards the Fifth Elder and expressed his opinion, "I believe it is too soon to pass judgment on their talents. We should allow them sometime and observe their progress. Who knows, there might be a few among them who could pleasantly surprise us."
"Wow, it's quite rare to see you thinking that way; you used to be indifferent," exclaimed the Sixth Elder in surprise at Xu Zhiyuan's answer.
"Yes, the Sixth Elder is correct. When we first arrived on this continent, you made quite a commotion about why you had to come to this desolate land. What caused this change of heart?" inquired the Fifth Elder curiously.
Xu Zhiyuan smiled and replied, "I met two interesting individuals who showed me that there is more to this continent than meets the eye."
"Two individuals?"
"Are you talking about these two kids that you've been watching all this time?" The Six Elders asked as he pointed at the screen where Chen Tian and Su Bingxin were cultivating.
"Oh, which kids?" inquired the fifth elder, turning his gaze towards the floating screens and witnessing Chen Tian and Su Bingxin diligently practicing their cultivation.
"Those two?"
"Yes, those two." Xu Zhiyuan nodded. "They may be young and have a low cultivation base, but they have already shown me great potential."
"Oh, to think the great Second Elder thinks so highly of them!" The six elders were shocked to hear that. It seems that these kids really impressed Xu Zhiyuan.
"I don't see anything special; are you sure they are worth your praise, Second Elder?" The fifth elder said, The fifth elder did not seem convinced by Xu Zhiyuan's praise: "These guys have been hunting beasts since they entered the mystic; wasn't it better to just search for treasures.?"
"Hahaha, don't worry; you will sure be amazed by their abilities once you see them in action. Trust me, I was never wrong when it came to finding talent." Xu Zhiyuan replied nonchalantly, seemingly unfazed by the surprise of the two elders.
"Now I am more curious about them," the sixth elder said, curiosity filling his eyes. He couldn't wait to see what caught Xu Zhiyuan's attention while he spoke so highly of them.
"It seems like some of the younger generations are getting too greedy and causing chaos in the mystic realm." Suddenly, the Fifth Elder said.
Both the Sixth Elder and Xu Zhiyuan gazed at the floating screens, which displayed scenes of cultivators engaged in deadly battles over a coveted treasure.
Filled with disappointment, Xu Zhiyuan let out a sigh, expressing his disapproval, "It's truly regrettable to witness people betraying their comrades for a mere piece of useless treasure."
Amidst the solemn atmosphere, the Fifth Elder chimed in with a hint of amusement, "Hehe, it is obvious that such treasures pale in comparison to the treasures that are on our own continent."
"Yeah, this mystic realm is completely useless for us; if not for that information that we got, we would never have come to this continent," the Sixth Elder said.
"Speaking of it, has our sect arrived there yet?" Xu Zhiyuan inquired.
"You've been keeping an eye on those two kids and haven't paid attention to our sect members. Don't worry, they have already entered the red zone and are moving deeper inside. It won't be long before they arrive," the sixth elder replied.
"Oh, look!" suddenly the fifth elder pointed to a screen.
"Oh, so they have arrived," remarked the Sixth Elder, glancing at the screen displaying the Immortal Sword Sect Disciplines.
Xu Zhiyuan, taken aback by the sight before him, exclaimed, "What in the world... is this the location?"
"Yes, I am certain it is," confirmed the Sixth Elder with a nod.
It seemed that the Immortal Sword Sect had finally arrived at their destination. The elders and Xu Zhiyuan were now focused on the screen, trying to see as much as possible.
Of course, the people gathering outside from various families also stopped watching their young generation and focused on the screen that had the immortal Sword Sect discipline.
"In the name of heaven, what in the world is happening here!?" someone exclaimed, unable to contain their surprise.
"Hey, why didn't anyone inform us about this?" the people murmured in disbelief, their faces reflecting their shock as they witnessed the unfolding scene on the screen.
