"Okay, I'll tell you."
4: Water of Purification — This is a water that can cure any disease. With this water, you can purify your body. Your physique will improve. If you drink this water and cultivate, your cultivation speed increases by ten times for a certain amount of time. This water is also used as an elixir. Currently, this water is on the Magic Continent. The Merchant King Clan possesses it.
5: Talent Stone — The basic ability of this stone is to assess a person's talent. But it has many other powers. This stone can form extremely powerful formations. Back then, humans killed many demons using this treasure. It's also said that this stone can open a portal to the Divine Realm. Currently, the stone is in the Cultivation Continent and is in the possession of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
"Now do you understand why people are shocked to see the stone breaking?"
"Yes, I understand that the stone is very powerful. But why is it breaking now?"
"I don't know. But judging from everything, I can guess that your child's talent is extremely powerful. Even the Talent Stone can't measure it. The stone couldn't handle your child's power and broke."
"What now? What should we do?"
"I don't know. But for now, let's stop speculating."
Then Xing Tian turned to Tian Zhen and said, "From here, take Angelina to her room."
Tian Zhen replied, "But Father, the situation—"
"I said, go now. I will handle the situation."
Tian Zhen nodded and took Angelina to her room.
Angelina asked, "But what about the other ten treasures?"
Tian Zhen held her face gently in his hand and said, "Don't you see what's happening here? I'll tell you about the other treasures later. Let's go to the room for now. After I drop you off, I'll return."
After they left, Xing Tian called for the other four elders.
"Where are you all?"
Someone replied, "What happened now?"
They were playing UNO.
One elder with black hair said, "I'm going to win! I only have two cards left." Then he looked at another elder and added, "This game you brought from the Urban Continent is really good. Their power system isn't strong, but their technology and intelligence are amazing."
Xing Tian repeated, "Don't you guys see the situation here? Who made you the elders of this Talent Ceremony?"
One elder asked, "What happened now? Why are you acting like this?"
Then he looked at the ground and froze. The UNO cards dropped from his hand.
Another elder asked, "Why did you drop your cards?"
"Look! Look at the ground."
"Why?" the others asked.
They all looked — and were shocked.
"What? How? How did the Talent Stone break?!"
They immediately rushed to stand in front of Xing Tian.
One asked, "What happened? How did the Talent Stone break?"
Xing Tian responded, "Now you're asking? Aren't you the elders of this ceremony? Why don't you know anything? What were you doing all this time?"
Everyone was silent.
"We... we were fighting a powerful demon."
"A demon? What kind of demon needs all of you to fight it together for so long?"
"Mmm... a very powerful demon. Let's just move on. Tell us what happened. Why did the Talent Stone break?"
Xing Tian explained everything that had occurred.
Meanwhile, the crowd was shocked to see all five elders together. These five elders were known as the top five strongest cultivators on the Central Planet.
From the crowd, a man said to another, "Did you see that? All four elders have arrived."
"Of course they would come. This is a major event."
Another person asked, "Who are those five elders?"
"You don't know?"
"No. Actually, I'm not from here. I come from another continent."
"Oh, then welcome to our continent. If you want to know about them, I'll tell you. But first—" He extended his hand. "Hi, I'm Minal, 20 years old."
The other boy shook his hand. "Hi, I'm Jack, 18 years old."
"Oh, two years younger than me. If you want to know about them, I'll tell you. But you'll have to treat me later."
"Okay, okay, tell me."
"Some years ago, there was a war between cultivators and demons. These five elders alone fought on the human side and defeated the demons. Since then, they've become famous across the Cultivation Continent. They are known as the Five Pillars of Cultivation."
"Do you see that old man with golden hair?"
"Yes."
"His name is Thomas."
1: Thomas — The Great Elder of the Holy Emperor Clan and the father of the current clan leader. He has completely mastered holy magic cultivation. He's the most powerful man in his clan. He possesses one of the Ten Mythical Treasures, the Reversal Mirror. The treasure is already incredibly powerful, but when combined with his holy energy, its power doubles. During the war with the demons, he defeated countless enemies with it. Because of his gentle demeanor in battle, people gave him the nickname Old Gentleman.
"And do you see the one with black hair and a long sword on his back?"
"Yes."
"His name is Minamoto."
2: Minamoto — The greatest swordsman on the Cultivation Continent. He can cut mountains and the sky with a single slash. He has mastered sword aura and reached the pinnacle of sword principles. Swordsmen fear to even stand before him. He has a special ability called Danger Detection. When other swordsmen come to challenge him, they freeze from his aura alone. He is a samurai, and people call him the Legendary Samurai.
"Oh, I see. He's so powerful. Every swordsman dreams of being number one, but they can't even stand in front of him. He must be the most powerful."
"No, no. He's powerful, but others are even stronger. Now, let me continue. Don't interrupt me again."
"Okay, okay, go on."
3: Gu Jian — The Great Elder of the Gu Clan. He is a master of poison, fusing it with his blood and creating countless techniques. He also possesses the Ten Thousand Poison Body, making him immune to most poisons. During the demon war, he killed more demons than anyone else. People gave him the nickname Poison Dragon.
"Do you see that young lady among the elders?"
"Yes. Why do you ask?"
"She's not actually young. She's the same age as the others."
"What?! She looks like she's 20, and you're telling me she's an old grandma?"
"Don't say that too loudly, or she'll kill you."
"Okay, okay, I get it. Nothing here is normal. Go on."
4: Su Yan — She is from the Iron Heart Clan. Her father was the 80th leader of the clan, and her mother was a fox demon. Because of that, she inherited powerful physical traits and fox charm techniques. With her charm, she can control many men. People call her the Old Charming Fox.
"And lastly, the strongest one — the fifth elder."
"Wait, you mean the fifth is the strongest among them?"
"Yes."
"Why is he the strongest?"
"Because the first four are the strongest in the Cultivation Continent, but the fifth elder is among the top five strongest beings in the whole world, including other continents and even demons."
"Whaaat?!"
"He's the strongest on the Cultivation Continent. Let me tell you about him. His name is Xing Tian."
5: Xing Tian — The Great Elder of the Demon Clan and father of the current clan leader. The Demon Clan is the strongest on the entire Central Planet, so you can imagine how powerful he is. He possesses unmatched raw strength and spiritual power. He's the definition of strength. He alone could defeat the other four elders combined. He has mastered and created many techniques. In the war with the demons, he fought the Demon King by himself.
"Whaa… the more I hear, the more surprised I am. He's truly the strongest man."
"Yes. And he's my inspiration. I want to be like him in the future."
Back to the Elders:
Xing Tian finished explaining and said, "So this is what happened. What should we do now?"
