Chapter 665: Astonishing Moves!
Chapter 665: Chapter 665: Astonishing Moves!
"Absurd!" The Old Sect Master slammed the tea cup down heavily and scanned everyone present, his gaze finally resting on Zi Xuantian. "Xuantian, you should be well aware that the Mortal World and the Cultivation World are worlds apart."
"He may have some skills now, but soon enough he will exhaust his potential... Then, the gap compared to Zi Yuan will be even greater."
"Besides, Zi Yuan is your woman, the dignified daughter of the Sect Hierarch, becoming a Dao companion with someone from the Mortal World. Wouldn’t our Xuantian Sect be ridiculed by other sects?"
"Therefore, it’s impossible."
Zi Xuantian stood up and cupped his hands, "Old Sect Master, Chen Xiao he..."
"Xuantian, you have always been calm and wise; why are you getting confused on this matter?" the Fourth Ancestor said solemnly, "Don’t mention the Mortal World; even the direct inheritors of the Eight Hidden Sects and Three Ancient Royal Families must seek our permission to marry the daughter of our Sect Hierarch!"
Zi Yuan seeking a Dao companion is indeed a significant event for the whole Xuantian Sect.
After all, Zi Yuan is among the top talents in this generation of the Xuantian Sect!
And she is the daughter of the Sect Hierarch!
The Third Ancestor lightly twirled his beard and chuckled, "Fourth Brother, when you pursued the Holy Daughter of Miaoqu Palace back then, you weren’t so firm. If I remember correctly, we were just low-level young cultivators at that time."
"Moreover, who hasn’t gone through this? Youngsters need to be given a chance."
Exposed by the Third Ancestor about his youthful indiscretions, the Fourth Ancestor’s face slightly changed, feeling extremely awkward, but he did not dare to retort against his elder brother, and could only remain silent.
He had the best relationship with the Third Ancestor, who knew many of his youthful blunders. If those were exposed, he’d be quite embarrassed.
Sure enough, the people around had strange expressions; knowing well that the Fourth Ancestor hated the female disciples of Miaoqu Palace, often cursing them as fox spirits, yet he secretly pursued their Holy Daughter?
The Fourth Ancestor lightly coughed and waved his hand, "I was naive back then, deceived by those enchantresses, but that’s all in the past, let’s get back to the main topic."
"Indeed, we’re not here to break up lovers; it’s just that the two are indeed incompatible," the Sixth Ancestor also advised, "Moreover, they have only just met, their feelings aren’t yet deep. It’s better to cut it off now than prolong the pain!"
Chen Xiao felt awkward; the two were already very close, yet their feelings aren’t deep? However, he dared not say this out loud, or he might be beaten to death!
The Third Ancestor spoke again, "Sixth Brother, you once loved an ordinary woman dearly, and after she passed away, you remained pure and unmarried for decades. Do you think family background, strength, and social status are really that important?"
The Sixth Ancestor remained silent for a long time, then sighed, "Better to respect Zi Yuan’s own decision!"
He thought of his past self, where hesitation and prejudice had led to lifelong regret.
Compared to his cowardice back then, Chen Xiao, daring to face the elders of Xuantian Sect directly, showed far more courage and maintained a dignified composure throughout, which was rare!
Zi Ling also quickly said, "Yes, I managed to return to my normal appearance thanks to brother-in-law’s help getting the Restoration Fruit in the Tianyuan Secret Realm; otherwise, I would still be a dwarf now. Anyway, I’ve recognized him as my brother-in-law!"
Hearing the Restoration Fruit was acquired by Chen Xiao, the members of Xuantian Sect showed astonishment.
The powerful members of Xuantian Sect, who had witnessed Chen Xiao’s strength outside the Tianyuan Secret Realm, also spoke in his favor.
"Although Young Master Chen comes from the Mortal World, he is incredibly strong, even we feel inferior to him."
"Moreover, Young Master Chen greatly assisted our Xuantian Sect in the Tianyuan Secret Realm; otherwise, our members might have been exterminated by the infiltrated Wushen Sect!"
"Stronger than you all?" The Old Sect Master raised an eyebrow.
Those seated here were at least Supreme Elder-level figures within the sect, at least Sky-reaching Realm powerhouses. Was Chen Xiao’s strength greater than theirs?
What kind of joke is this?
Zi Yuan continued, "That traitor Bai Langfeng was killed by Chen Xiao, and he even drove away one of the Eight Great Asura of Wushen Sect, the Jade-faced Rakshasa."
The Old Sect Master and several ancestral powerhouses listened in increasing shock.
Not sure if Zi Yuan’s words were exaggerated!
If this were true, wouldn’t Chen Xiao’s strength rival theirs?
At this moment, Chen Xiao suddenly stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "Honored Elders, I understand you’re not trying to make it difficult for me, but concerned for Zi Yuan."
"I also understand that gaining your approval cannot rely solely on empty words, so I will prove myself through actions in the future."
"I hope the honorable elders will grant me an opportunity to showcase myself."
"Today, I came to Xuantian Sect solely to escort Zi Yuan and the elders back, and I’ve prepared some gifts for the honored elders."
"I hope the esteemed elders will graciously accept!"
Saying this, he lightly waved his hand, and then fifteen jade bottles fell onto the table.
"Do you think we need your trifles?" The Old Sect Master snorted coldly, "A few useless elixirs, and you want to win me over? Let me tell you, I treat Zi Yuan like my own..."
Before he finished speaking, suddenly nine jade bottles popped open, and nine streams of elixir aura rose upward, filling the room with an exotic fragrance, invigorating everyone’s divine soul.
These elixirs! Extraordinary!
"Heavenly Grade Top-Grade Elixirs, Nine-Turn Golden Yuan Pill." The Third Ancestor’s pupils contracted, "This... is this the elixir that can allow one to directly break through to the Late Stage of Sky-reaching Realm? And there are nine of them?"
"Good! Good! Good!" The Third Ancestor laughed heartily, "No wonder you are the man Zi Yuan fancied, how generous, I won’t be modest with you, I’ll just accept this gift!"
Saying this, he reached out and directly took one of the jade bottles.
Considering it, he muttered, "I’ve been stuck in the Middle Tongtian Realm for years; one bottle might not be enough, better take another!"
Saying this, he again grabbed another bottle from the table, hurriedly putting it into his pocket.
The Old Sect Master stared closely at the jade bottle with flowing dan patterns, his face carrying a trace of shock.
These elixirs are indeed remarkable!
How many can truly produce Heavenly Grade Top-Grade Elixir?
Anyway, Xuantian Sect doesn’t have any.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many ancestral figures stuck at this bottleneck.
If they obtain these elixirs, Xuantian Sect’s battle strength will reach another level!
Is this truly a young man from the Mortal World?
The items he took out seem to make Xuantian Sect look like bumpkins!
"And this!"
Zi Ling picked up several other Green Jade Bottles, "These are Heavenly Grade Top-Grade Rejuvenation Pills concocted by brother-in-law!"
She deliberately shook the jade bottles, "Old Sect Master and elders should know the value of these elixirs, right?"
Heavenly Grade Supreme Elixir?!
At this point, the Old Sect Master, who had been maintaining composure, could no longer keep calm.
He needed these elixirs too!
With the Rejuvenation Pill, his chances of breaking through to the Peak of Sky-reaching Realm would increase by at least sixty percent! If he had two... he couldn’t imagine how happy he’d be!
Chen Xiao smiled faintly, "Nine Heavenly Grade Top-Grade Nine-Turn Golden Pills, and six Heavenly Grade Supreme Rejuvenation Pills, small gifts; I hope the honored elders will graciously accept. As for distribution, I dare not make decisions arbitrarily; it is entirely up to the esteemed elders to decide!"
