Ray aggressively whispered to Bryan, "You dumbass! That is a Supreme Elder of the sect. She should be treated with respect otherwise if she felt like it, she could literally erase your existence with just a blink."
'Fuck me…' Bryan starting dreading inside but managed to express a still calm face.
The other Supreme Elders had amusing expressions and waited to see what Supreme Elder Annabel would say.
Regaining her clarity, Supreme Elder Annabel asked teasingly, "Why do you ask, boy? Are you planning to sleep with me?"
*Cough*
"Respectfully, after a few years when I am of a decent age and I become strong enough, I would like to go after you." Bryan spoke as he took a gamble. When he first laid his eyes on the Supreme Elder, he was instantly gobsmacked with how stunning and gorgeous she looked. She was literally the epitome of a beautiful mature woman, which coincidentally was Bryan's type of woman.
"Aren't you fearless, young man?" Supreme Elder Annabel smirked and continued, "Judging from your current cultivation realm and age, it would take more than a few years for you, young man."
"Although that does leave me a question, why did you start cultivating so late?"
Bryan was going to reply but the Ancient Elder beat him to it, "You'll soon have your answers, Annabel…and the rest of you as well. That is why we must hold a meeting right now."
The Sect Master raised his eyebrow and glanced at the three young men beside his dad. He wondered if the three had a respectable background for his dad to bring them along to the sect.
The Sect Master nodded and turned towards the crowd, "Disciples of the Celestial Nirvana Sect!"
His grand voice majestically reached every single corner of the ground, "With the return of the Ancient Elder, we must show him our strength and the willingness to stand at the top. The Grand Verna Tournament will be soon held next year and each and every single one you have the potential to rise to the top. So, work hard and lead us to victory."
"TO VICTORY!"
"TO VICTORY!"
"TO VICTORY!"
Immediately, the disciples let out a thunderous shout after hearing their sect master's motivational speech. They had eyes of determination and an extreme aura of pride emanated from the crowd. If a mortal accidentally witness the spectacle, they would immediately faint from just a glance.
"I am motivated." Ash said.
"For what?" Bryan asked.
"I don't know, I am just motivated." Ash shrugged.
"Huh…" Ray tilted his head.
With that, the Sect Master, the Supreme Elders and the Ancient Elder flew away to the Main Hall of the sect along with the three young men.
The Main Hall was a tall pearlescent white building surrounded by 4 golden pillars on each side. On the front, there's a huge ancient symbol that represented the Celestial Nirvana Sect. The symbol had two dragons, that resembled Celeste and Nirvana, coiled around with one another, shaped in a circle. The ancient symbol let out a slight glow of black and white.
The group entered the hall and upon first glance, the three young men saw 20 illustrious seats placed in the position of an arc at the forefront of the hall. The three stood at the centre of the hall and soon, fourteen of the seats were now occupied by the seniors.
"Damn, everything looks so freaking fancy…" Ray whispered while looking around the hall. He discerned that the source of light came from the entire ceiling which was pretty cool.
*Cough*
The Ancient Elder coughed lightly to gain everyone's attention. He spoke with a smile, "I am sure you're all wondering why I brought them along with me to the sect."
"Does everyone remember the three phenomena that happened a few hours ago?" The Ancient Elder asked a question.
"Yes, we do." The Sect Master answered along with the Supreme Elders nodding in agreement.
The Sect Master continued, "I tried to pinpoint the source but something blocked my natural sense. I assume only people who were close enough to see the source would be able to identify the location."
The Ancient Elder lightly nodded and said, "It was a world-shaking phenomenon, so it's only natural that the source would be hidden from prying eyes."
"Ancient Elder, did you find the source?" One of the Supreme Elders spoke up. He looked very old and there was a distinct scar running through his face.
"I did." The Ancient Elder confirmed with a nod.
Low exclamations sounded out from the Supreme Elders as this was great news for the sect. Something or someone that could induce a world-shaking phenomenon will definitely increase the overall strength and status of their sect. Even though they stood at the top in Planet Verna, their sights went beyond their galaxy and for that, the required strength was necessary.
The Sect Master on the other hand, looked at the three young men at the centre and his eyes instantly sparkled with brilliance.
'Don't tell me…they are the ones who did it…' The Sect Master slightly trembled in excitement.
"They're right in front of you." The Ancient Elder pointed at the three young men.
Ray, Bryan and Ash instantly felt all of them staring at them intently. They felt something strange invaded their bodies which scoured their bodies from top to bottom.
[Ding]
[Detected that the privacies of the three hosts are currently being violated. Initiating a temporary barrier to block their probing.]
The Supreme Elders were currently using their natural senses trying to figure what made them so special. They identified their cultivations but as they were going to probe deeper, the felt something block their natural senses and they were driven out of their bodies. They felt that some kind of barrier was erected which blocked their natural senses.
The Supreme Elders immediately reeled in shock. They did not expect something to block them from prying into their bodies. One had to know that the Supreme Elders stood at the top of the world and their strength were measured to be near invincible.
The Sect Master didn't bother because he figured his dad would eventually tell them.
"Excuse me!" Ash suddenly spoke up. This garnered the attention of the seniors.
"Could you please not do that again?" Ash requested in a sombre tone.
"Hey, Mr. Ancient Elder, what was that about?" Ray asked in a not so obvious irritated tone. Bryan simply frowned.
"My apologies, young brats. They were just curious about you, that's all." The Ancient Elder calmed them down.
"Supreme Elders, do not do that again." The Ancient Elder said with the same smile on his face.
"My apologies!" Supreme Elder Annabel was the first one to apologize, followed by the others.
"Haha, now where were we? Oh right! The three world-shaking phenomena were caused by them and I happened to meet them. They had nowhere to go, so I invited them to our sect which they readily agreed." The Ancient Elder explained.
"The tall one is Bryan. He is the one who triggered the crimson phenomenon. The middle one is named Ash and he triggered the cold phenomenon. The last one is named Ray and he triggered the lightning phenomenon." The Ancient Elder revealed their names.
"According to my experience, they at best awakened physiques from the top 100 or maybe even the top 50." The Ancient Elder assumed.
The other seniors were shocked with his assumption because any godly physique from the top 100 could change the entire world.
The Sect Master looked at the young men and asked, "Ray, Bryan and Ash, was it? Would you like to share us with what you awakened? Only if you're comfortable and willing to, of course."
Ray frowned slightly and asked the other two, "What do you two think?"
"Hmm…" Bryan was pondering.
"We should tell them. This way, they'll provide us with more assistance compared to not revealing it. Also, according to the Ancient Elder, the Celestial Nirvana Sect is considered to be the strongest in the world. So, we'll be safe." Ash explained his reasoning.
"I'll trust you on this." Ray nodded.
"Yeah, sure." Bryan also agreed.
Seeing that they agreed, the seniors all perked up and paid rapt attention. Even the Ancient Elder was curious.
"I'll go first." Bryan said.
"I awakened the Divine Infernal Physique."
Instantly, the seniors were astonished. Even the Ancient Elder was extremely surprised at hearing the name of the physique.
"Y-You have the Divine Infernal Physique?" Another female Supreme Elder spoke in amazement.
The Ancient Elder lifted his finger and a beam of light shot upwards, passing through the ceiling. The beam of light conjured into a huge barrier, covering the main hall. If anyone looked from outside the barrier, they would not detect the main hall at all.
"I erected a barrier. Nobody outside of this hall should be able to see or hear us now." The Ancient Elder said in seriousness.
"Judging from the seniors' reactions, I assume that my physique is strong." Bryan voiced out.
"Boy, the Divine Infernal Physique is ranked at number 4 in the Galactic Ranking of Physiques. That indicates more than enough of your potential." The Sect Master stated with perplexity.
"Oh, damn!"
"This…" Some of the Supreme Elders shook their head in just pure bafflement.
"So, if my physique is ranked 4th at the top, then what about Ash's Heavenly Frost Physique?" Bryan inquired candidly.
"Hey, Bryan?! What the fuck?" Ash said in slight anger.
"What?" Bryan replied confusedly.
"At least, let me have the chance to reveal my own physique." Ash grumbled.
"Ohhh! My bad, Ash." Bryan expressed his apologies.
"Dumbo!" Ash grumbled again.
"Haha…" Bryan chuckled.
"Hey guys, I think they're stunned silly…" Ray spoke up.
The Supreme Elders were once again stunned. They could somehow reluctantly believe the appearance of a single top 10 godly physique. But the appearance of another at the same time and at the same place? This went beyond the absurdities of luck.
"Unbelievable…"
"The Divine Infernal Physique and the Heavenly Frost Physique are in the hands of our sect. I don't know what to say apart from expressing extreme joy."
"Our sect now has a humongous opportunity!"
"This is a chance for our sect to usher onto a new age."
The Supreme Elders were busy discussing amongst themselves.
Seeing the three young men confusedly stand in front of them, the Sect Master sighed and said, "The Heavenly Frost Physique is rank 5th, just below the Divine Infernal Physique."
Ash smiled in response, "Now, that's the way!"
"You're still below me."
"Although, your physiques are ranked 4th and 5th respectively, they have no difference between them whatsoever. They are equal in strength and potential." The Sect Master explained patiently.
"Oh…" Bryan had an awkward look on his face. Ash had to hold in his laughter to not ruin his image in front of these powerful beings.
*Sigh*
The Ancient Elder sighed and ushered for Ray to reveal his. The Supreme Elders halted their discussion and looked at him with immense anticipation.
Ray took a deep breath and spoke, "I don't have a physique like the other two. Instead, I awakened the Eternal Lightning Bloodline."
The Supreme Elders had confused looks on their faces. They had never heard the name of that bloodline before. The Sect Master meanwhile was pondering and searching through his memories.
The Ancient Elder narrowed his eyes and said, "It's my first time hearing that name."
This time it was Ray's time to be confused. Considering the prestige of the Celestial Nirvana Sect, he didn't expect for them to not have a single clue about his bloodline.
"But…" The Ancient Elder gained everyone's attention.
"If what I previously saw was a manifestation of your bloodline, then all I can say it's equally terrifying if not more than your friends' physiques."
"That's somewhat reassuring to hear, at least." Ray chuckled.
"Dad, if what you said is true then it's only possible and viable that his Eternal Lightning Bloodline is of a Divine Grade." The Sect Master said with excitement.
