The Host Of An Ancient Spirit Chapter 50

With a loud noise sounding behind, the whole ancient battlefield was completely closed. The huge light curtain in the air was slowly dissipating and everything around it restored to calmness once more. However, the people who had left were fewer than those who had come inside. The disciples of the Devil Sect were unable to escape and the three major clans also suffered from great losses.

Despite this, those who exited the ancient battlefield wore smiles on their faces. Since they could escape with their lives, they had gained much. More importantly, with this experience, they would have great benefits for their cultivation.

The third elder glanced at the rest of the people and said loudly, "Everyone, let's wave goodbye. I will take them back to the clan for the introductory ceremony of the Group of Elders."

The three major clans returned to their respective residences. Chen Feng carried a faint smile on his face. At that moment, he had already reached the Ling sense level and could even challenge Chen Xiong then. Now, among the entire Chen family, only the elders could defeat him, although Chen Feng was not afraid of some of them.

His mentality was gradually changing. The various mysteries of the Group of Elders were not so attractive to him now, as if it were just a layer of gauze that could be easily broken to find the truth.

The crowd all went out to return to the Chen family within one day. Having come back to the place where the elders lived, Chen Feng suddenly said to Third Elder when seeing the mountain cliff ahead, "Third Elder, I have been away from the clan for some time. I didn’t notify my father before my departure, so I wanted to meet him now."

"Well . . . you just returned from the ancient battlefield; you should immediately attend the introductory ceremony of the Group of Elders. Once the ceremony is over, you can go home any time. At that time, your ident.i.ty will be different and n.o.body will dare to look down on you." The third elder frowned slightly and made such an arrangement for Chen Feng directly.

Chen Feng forced a smile. The elders were still too powerful for him to challenge, so he could do nothing but give up. However, he secretly reminded himself that he needed to improve his strength as soon as possible.

The Group of Elders attached great importance to the promotion ceremony of the disciples. After all, not very many disciples of the Chen family would have the chance to come to the Group of Elders every year and those who actually came should be the elite of the Chen family.

The ceremony was not so complicated. It was just a routine of convening all the other people in the Group of Elders to provide the chance for everyone to get to know each other. All those gathering around were usually the hard-working pract.i.tioners, and they were also very powerful.

However, Chen Feng still found a lot of pract.i.tioners who had only reached the Ling nature level. They should be at the lowest level of the Group of Elders. Chen Feng used to be one of them; however, his strength had been greatly improved after his stay in the ancient battlefield.

Chen Feng pouted secretly and said, "The introductory ceremony of the Group of Elders is too simple. But I’m wondering what the benefit of being a member of them is.”

Although Chen Jian had long been designated as the disciple of the Group of Elders, he was still standing there with great confusion. He dreaded making a mistake. He kept focusing on the actions of Chen Feng who was standing next to him, so he certainly noticed his impatience. He whispered to him, "Don’t underestimate the ceremony. Although it is simple, it can provide us a formal ident.i.ty. Among the Group of Elders, the disciples returning from the ancient battlefield will enjoy privileges and receive special care in the Chen family as well as the Group of Elders."

"Oh? According to what you have said, we should belong to the higher level in the Group of Elders?" Chen Feng asked with great doubt. He just knew the group only recruited two or three disciples each year. He didn’t expect such great differences among all the disciples.

Chen Jian nodded and said, "Among the Group of Elders, the disciples are actually divided into two groups: the internal ones and the external ones. The disciples of our Suru Sect are brought back by the elders themselves. As for the external ones, they are talented individuals selected from our family. It’s actually not difficult to become a member of the external group. I used to be a disciple of the external group, but after the ceremony, I will become a member of the internal group now.”

"Internal and external groups? I didn’t expect such a big difference. It seems that we have an official ident.i.ty among all the disciples?"

Chen Jian smiled gently and then said, "Now the ceremony is over. Soon, we will enter the practice pool for a higher level of cultivation. The pool will be only opened once a year. Those who practice inside can get very significant benefits. In combination with the skills of our Chen family, we can absorb as much energy in the pool as possible."

"Cultivation pool? What on earth is that?" Chen Feng couldn't help wondering. He was also greatly puzzled when he was led into the pool by the white-bearded old man. Then, he went to practice in the ancient battlefield. It wasn’t until then that he realized the big difference between the internal and external groups. He mustered a smile because he realized he really knew so little about the Group of Elders.

After a while, being glanced at by the ten elders, the crowd suddenly felt the solemn atmosphere in the hall. Then, the ten elders moved slightly and the wall behind them slammed loudly.

Chen Feng was startled and he stared at the s.p.a.ce behind the elders. He was shocked because he didn't expect there was a secret door in the wall.

After a few breaths of a moment, the door was completely opened. All the disciples on the site suddenly showed great excitement, which then disappeared because they knew the pool was not ready for them to practice in. However, once they felt the Ling force blowing on their faces, they felt very comfortable and some minor injuries resulting from cultivation were also miraculously healed.

Senior Elder looked at the people below with a smile and suddenly darted into the air as fast as lightning, which made it difficult for others to follow his moves. Chen Feng's eyes flashed and he caught sight of some traces. The one who suddenly appeared was nothing but the senior elder.

Usually, Senior Elder would never attend the introductory ceremony. However, he had to show up to attend the opening ceremony of the practice pool. After all, it was a major event of the Chen family and he had to appear although he was usually mysterious to all the other disciples. He suddenly appeared at this moment, which showed the great importance of the practice pool.

When Senior Elder found the five disciples heading for the ancient battlefield were all safe and sound and their strength had also been greatly improved, he nodded with delight. However, once his eyes focused on Chen Feng, he was suddenly shocked. "The Ling sense level?” the senior elder suddenly asked doubtfully, obviously being very surprised.

The three elders smiled slightly because they knew the experience of Chen Feng very clearly. When he first entered the ancient battlefield, he was only at the Ling nature level. Now he had reached the Ling sense level, which was about two levels higher; that was why Senior Elder was so greatly shocked.

However, other elders were not so surprised at his exclamation because it was nothing special, just the level of Ling sense. Although that strength was good enough among the Group of Elders, many disciples had already reached such a level, so there was really no use to make such a big fuss.

Senior Elder didn't care about the confused looks of the others. He knew the boy standing here would never disappoint him, so he smiled lightly and said, "As for the pool behind me, the disciples of the external group will just practice here and those returning from the ancient battlefield will enjoy the privilege of practicing in the cultivation pool."
