Chapter 144: Decision of the elders



Chapter 144: Decision of the elders

He was quite happy with Chelsea's suggestion to them.

Of course, he wants to be a leader. Well, after all, he wasn't someone who liked being ordered around by others.

But on the surface, he still shook his head after hearing the yellow robed youth's words.

"Ehmmm." He cleared his throat before speaking. "Sorry senior, I am indeed strong enough in battle, but I am not a strategist or a leader who can manage people. I don't think I'm fit to be the leader of all of us."

He then looked at Chelsea with an apologetic expression.

When the people heard Alu's words, they were stunned for a moment before nodding with an amazed expression.

"It's like a rumor. He is a humble young man." People talking.

"Oh, but I don't think so."

The blue robed youth who was the holy son of the water temple suddenly spoke.

The young man stepped forward while looking at Alu with narrowed eyes.

Alu pretended to be confused, but he could feel the youth's displeasure.

"Is something wrong, senior?" He then asked.

"You said that you weren't a strategist or a leader who could manage people, but you also said that you were strong enough in battle." The blue robed youth said.

"But why do your words sound as if you are the strongest among us all?"

"...."

Of course, Alu said that on purpose.

He then answered. "Yes, it is. I believe in my strength."

He said in an innocent tone so no one thought he was boasting.

"Is that so. Then do you think you're stronger than the four of us?" The blue robed youth asked once again.

"I do not know." Alu replied, shaking his head. "After all, your cultivation is one level higher than mine." He added.

"Then how about we fight. If you win, you can become the leader."

"Don't worry, as long as your strength is proven, no one will object to hearing your orders." He added before Alu spoke.

"What do you think, Ervins, Audrey, Camelia." He glanced at the other three.

"Emmm." Alu still showed a hesitant expression.

At this moment, Chelsea who was still quiet suddenly spoke up.

"Hmmm, Beck, aren't you too shameless, to challenge our holy son by relying on your higher cultivation. Have you forgotten how old you are. And look how old our holy son is."

Beck ignores Chelsea. He just kept staring at Alu. There was a hint of provocation in his eyes.

But Alu remained silent.

"Ehmmmm" A sudden coughing sound echoed from the ship above them.

Even though it was only a coughing sound, it sounded like thunder so that the mountains trembled.

The disciples below immediately looked up with serious expressions. They knew that it was the voice of a sect elder.

Alu who kept silent also looked at the large ship above with a serious expression. He wanted to know what the coughing elder wanted to say.

"We have already decided that the holy son of the fire temple will be your leader in this expedition." The elder said, leaving the disciples below stunned.

Not to mention them, even Alu didn't understand why the elders chose him to be the leader of the expedition. But inside he was secretly pleased that he no longer had to bother with Beck and Ervins' requests.

The two holy sons currently looked very surprised.

Beck obviously couldn't help it. He then bent towards the ship.

"Elder, please reconsider."

Hearing his words, people knew right away that he had indeed rejected Alu from the start. His previous actions were clear because he wanted to make things difficult for Alu. He clearly wanted to suppress Alu.

But the decision of the elders made all his actions in vain.

At this moment, even Camelia and Audrey looked confused.

The two of them were clearly still unsure. They naturally knew their talent was much inferior to Alu's. But with their cultivation, which was one level higher, they still believed they could beat Alu.

They then looked at Alu with a deep gaze.

The elder who spoke earlier did not speak again. The elder clearly ignored Beck which made Beck a little unhappy.

But Chelsea and the fire temple disciples laugh lightly.

Chelsea said. "Since the elders have already decided, there is nothing more to talk about."

"From now on until we return, our fire temple holy son will be the leader of the Five Elements sect on an expedition to the lower realms."

"....."

The joke ends here.

...

"Now is the time for us to go. Get on the ship." The voice of the previous elder echoed once again.

The Five Elements sect disciples didn't dare delay when they heard the elder's words. They immediately flew to the ship.

Alu and the fire temple disciples also flew with them.

As they flew, he could feel Beck and Ervins' sharp gaze.

"I need to teach these two bastards a lesson later." He said to himself.

Even though his innocent and kind nature made many people look at him with a good impression, hisnoverly extraordinary talent definitely worried some people. Especially the ones who were quite prominent.

The problem is; This Five Elements sect had too little competition among masters. Apart from a few masters like master Adolf who supported Darien, the other masters were actually quite united even though they were divided into several factions.

Therefore, for the sect's young geniuses, showing extraordinary talent was needed to gain status in the sect. If a more talented disciple suddenly appeared, the geniuses from before would usually be less noticed by the sect.

A few moments later Alu finally entered the ship.

The ship doesn't actually have an entrance. In order to enter, one had to pass through a portal that only the person controlling the ship could open.

While on the ship, Alu immediately showed a surprised expression.

The space inside the ship was actually like the world itself. There were mountains, sun and many pavilions.

If it weren't for the scenery outside the ship that could still be seen, it would be hard to tell if it was actually inside a ship.

"This ship is a Great Nirvana Artifact. Although this is only a first stage Artifact, it can even be used to traverse a Domain."

"With this ship, the journey to the Rising Sun city will only take a few hours." Chelsea explained from the side.

"This is too awesome." Alu pretended as if he was very surprised.

When he acted like that, he could feel the sneer of Beck and Ervins. They looked at him as if he was a bumpkin who had never seen the world.

Chelsea also happened to see their gaze. And it displeased her. "Hmph." She snorted. "Little brother Alu already has the great Nirvana weapon. Do you two have it too?" She said with a mocking expression.

Beck and Ervins' faces turned green when they heard Chelsea's words.

After that, Chelsea then pulled Alu's hand. She took him somewhere. And only Angele followed them.

"Here, we can see the scenery outside clearly." She says.

They had now arrived at a certain part of the ship where they could have a clearer view of the outside of the ship.

But Alu shook his head.

"When this ship gets higher, my soul sense will no longer be able to reach land." He said sadly.

"Dont worry." Chelsea calms Alu down.

She then did something that Alu didn't understand.

Shua...

A spiritual formation suddenly activated in that place, and as it happened, Alu found the sense of his soul suddenly connected with the ship.

"With this you can see through the soul sense of this ship." Chelsea said.

"This ship's soul sense reach is equivalent to a Cultivator of the Earthly Nirvana stage."

"According to rumors, a Earthly Nirvana cultivator's soul sense can reach hundreds of millions of kilometers. The stronger ones can even reach billions of kilometers."

Alu was surprised when he heard her words. Right now, he had actually found his soul sense range expanding very rapidly.

"There really is such a thing."

"Of course." Chelsea replied. "It was created to train sect disciples. By feeling what it is like to use the soul sense belonging to a Cultivator of the Earthly Nirvana stage, it can also increase our soul force." She explained.

Alu nodded.

"But using this will also use up a lot of our spiritual energy." She added.

Alu nodded once again. His spiritual energy did decrease very quickly every time he connected his soul sense with the ship's soul sense.

Even so, he was still satisfied that he was finally able to see the land as the ship started getting higher.

At least now he could see the view of the continent of the Rising Sun.

Shua...

The ship finally started moving forward.

Even when it was just moving, its speed was already on par with the speed of the ninth layer of Nirvana, and over time, it had become much faster.

However, what made Alu surprised was that he found that his senses could keep up with the ship's speed when his sense of soul was connected to the ship.

"It's amazing." He said as he saw the vast land beneath the ship.
