Chapter 45: Family head, Damien

“Thank you, ancestor! These foundation establishment pills are indeed going to be a great help for my daughter.”

Right upon grabbing onto the bottle of foundation establishment pills that his ancestor had tossed over to him, a smile could be seen appearing on Dave’s face as he grabbed onto the bottle, then immediately cupped his hands at his ancestor once again and gave his thanks to his ancestor.

“Alright, Dave, you can sit back down already.”

“Returning back to the topic. Let me ask again, is anyone interested in volunteering to help aid Bright Moon Sect in its battle?”

Right after the elderly man asked his question, same as before, everyone remained silent, evidently not having any intention of volunteering in helping to aid Bright Moon Sect in fighting over one of the 3 weapons.

In truth, before the elderly man had even arrived at the conference room, the elderly man had already more or less expected that this would be everyone’s reaction once he had asked who was willing to volunteer.

After all, everyone within the conference room had participated in the fight over the flaming serpent spear that appeared within the middle of the North Continent 20 years ago, and after the horrifying experience that everyone had experienced back then, mainly due to a specific unexpected incident that happened, which caused most of the cultivators that were fighting over the flaming serpent spear to suffer grave injuries, and over half of the cultivators to have died…

Almost everyone who had managed to survive from the specific unexpected incident currently still had traumas from what they had experienced on that specific day.

If a mere flaming serpent spear that was merely a peak-quality tier 4 weapon was able to cause a certain few people to do extremely drastic things just for the sake of obtaining the flaming serpent spear…

Now that 3 weapons that were definitely much stronger and rarer than the flaming serpent spear had appeared within the south, east, and west of the North Continent…

It was evident that the fights that were going to soon happen within the south, east, and west, were going to be much more high-scale, longer, and terrifying compared to the fight that happened 20 years ago.

And as for how everyone within the conference room knew that those 3 weapons that had just been scattered throughout the 3 ends of the North Continent were definitely much stronger and rarer than the flaming serpent spear…?

Well, after seeing the huge fissure that appeared within the sky, which evidently was a portal that led to the Celestial Realm, it wasn’t hard for everyone to come to the conclusion that those 3 weapons that had flew out from the Celestial Realm were definitely stronger and rare than the flaming serpent spear.

Furthermore, since the 3 weapons were evidently tossed into the North Continent by an extremely high realm cultivator that was from the Celestial Realm…

And there wasn’t any reason for the high realm cultivator to open a portal just for the sake of tossing some weak and useless weapons into the North Continent…

It was evident to everyone within the North Continent that those 3 weapons were definitely extremely strong and were definitely going to be fought over heavily by mainly by the golden core realm cultivators within the North, East, and West Continents!

Thus, it was only natural that everyone that was within the conference room would not want to head over to the far east of the North Continent and help aid Bright Moon Sect in fighting over 1 of the 3 weapons that had landed within the far east of the North Continent.

However, although the elderly man had already expected everyone’s reaction, he still couldn’t help but let out a sigh upon seeing everyone’s reaction.

“Sigh… It has already been over 20 years since that incident had happened, and yet, have none of you managed to overcome your trauma after all these years had passed?”

Faced with the elderly man’s question, everyone within the conference room remained silent once again, however, this time, shame could be seen appearing on almost everyone’s face.

Upon seeing that everyone was still remaining silent after hearing his question, a dissatisfied look appeared on the elderly man’s face as he chided at everyone, “Are all of you mute?! Is remaining silent all that you all are able to do?! As cultivators, in order to be able to cultivate to higher realms, the will to be able to face everything without fear is…”

“Alright, alright, grandpa, let’s just get this meeting over with already instead of lecturing us. There are some other things that I have to attend to after this meeting is over.”

Right as the elderly man was chiding at everyone, a middle-aged looking man suddenly cut him off while with a leisured and care-free tone to his voice.

When the elderly man was lecturing at everyone just a while ago, this middle-aged looking man was one of the few who didn’t have a look of shame appearing on his face.

“Bang!”

“You… you…! Damien! Is this the way that you should…”

Right upon being cut off by the middle-aged looking man, and upon finished listening to what the middle-aged man said, the elderly man immediately slammed his fist hard onto the long table, then shouted out angrily at the middle-aged looking man.

However, faced with the elderly man’s angry shouting, the middle-aged looking man evidently didn’t seem to care as he could be seen cutting off the elderly man once again.

“I will volunteer to help aid Bright Moon Sect in fighting over one of the 3 weapons. With this, the golden core realm slot is filled. And as for the 4 foundation establishment realm cultivators and 20 energy refining realm cultivators, I will pick them out myself.”

“So, now that this matter is over, I’m assuming that there’s nothing else to go over in this meeting, right?”

Upon speaking up to here, the middle-aged man could be seen standing up from his seat, evidently intending to leave the conference room.
