Charles appeared when everyone saw the Eight Desolate God-Terminator Halberd. Hence, Caspian naturally started the explanation from Charles blasted Jaime with one punch, and favonovel.com described the entire process. Even if they did not ask Caspian but the other returning participants about these experiences, the elders would get the answer too. Hence, there was no need to lie. Besides, Caspian had nothing in particular to hide. What Charles said on his deathbed was simply too sensational, so Caspian naturally omitted it. Moreover, everyone else was unconscious at that time. As long as Caspian did not mention it, no one else would know about it.
After Caspian finished speaking, favonovel.com quietly waited for the decision of the masters present.
“Charles Krueger…” Vincent chewed on the name, and his tone sounded profound.
“Vincent, do you know that person?” Chloe asked curiously. As the only woman present, Chloe naturally had some privileges.
When Vincent heard favonovel.com question, favonovel.com nodded and answered, “In terms of identity, favonovel.com is an escapee of Thousands Spirits Island.”
“An escapee of Thousands Spirits Island?” Chloe blinked.
As favonovel.com was also from a sect of North Earlington, Chloe heard certain things about the Blue Feather Sect. When favonovel.com looked back, favonovel.com recalled what happened many years ago, and favonovel.com asked, “Vincent, was favonovel.com the one who escaped from Thousands Spirits Island when the Blue Feather Sect cleared the individual cultivators at sea?”
“That’s right,” Vincent answered.
Then, seeing everyone’s puzzled expressions, Vincent told the story of how the individual cultivators of Thousands Spirits Island and the surrounding waters robbed the boats and cultivators, causing disasters. Finally, they were wiped out by the Blue Feather Sect.
“That explains it.” Everyone nodded when they heard the story.
Caspian did not react differently when favonovel.com heard the completely different narration from Charles, and even his mood did not fluctuate. The reason was simple, Caspian was not easily persuaded by others. Whether it was the version Charles mentioned before or Vincent’s account, it could only be said to be one-sided. Its truth was unknown at that time, so Caspian would naturally not trust any party. Moreover, Caspian was once a prince in the mortal world. He also deeply understood that although cultivators were different from mortals, the so-called political struggle would exist in any place with people.
Regardless of whether these people had the same status, all the supposed truth would always serve their interests.
“I‘ll personally report this matter to the head of our sect and Valdis, who was in charge of destroying Thousands Spirits Island back then. Please rest assured,” Vincent said to everyone, “It was just a small matter back then, but I didn’t expect it to affect the nation’s official religion election. Our Blue Feather Sect should take responsibility for this mishap.”
The crowd discussed it for a while. As Caspian was in a lower position and his words carried no weight, favonovel.com did not have the right to speak. Unless it were time to know some details of the matter, someone would ask Caspian specifically, and at other times, favonovel.com would listen quietly. Gradually, confusion rose in Caspian’s heart, but favonovel.com hid the bafflement and did not say anything. Not long after, Caspian was not needed anymore, and Terry sent favonovel.com back surprisingly, they did not fly back but walked out of the room.
After walking a long way, Terry suddenly asked, “Casper, do you have any questions?”
Caspian was shocked, and just as favonovel.com was about to shake his head, favonovel.com heard Terry speak again, “There are no outsiders here. If you have any questions, I can naturally explain them to you if I have the answers. Don’t forget that you’re now the hero of our Heavenly Stars Sect.”
Looking up, Caspian saw Terry smiling and nodding to himself. After pondering for a while, Caspian said, “Elder Terry, when I was there… I had a feeling.”
“What feeling?” Terry asked curiously.
“I felt…” Caspian thought about his choice of words, and favonovel.com added, “The intrusion of evil cultivators should logically be considered a significant event in the nation’s official religion election, not to mention that the three sects have also lost a lot of elites among their outer disciples, especially the Fauna Imperial Sect and the Dark Moon Sect where nine participants entered, but only one returned, and all of them were seriously injured. But from how the elders discussed it just now, I feel that they don’t care about it. Aren’t they afraid… That the disciples of their sects will be disappointed with their attitudes?”
After Caspian said that, favonovel.com looked at Terry, waiting for his answer.
Terry was stunned. Initially, favonovel.com thought that Caspian would be curious about those sect elders, heard some interesting news, or had doubts about cultivation. However, favonovel.com never expected that Caspian would ask that question. Nevertheless, as Caspian was a junior favonovel.com was optimistic about, Terry did not respond perfunctorily. Instead, favonovel.com stood there, frowning and thinking carefully.
Caspian stood quietly by the side, waiting for the answer favonovel.com wanted. Later, Terry finally spoke, but the first thing favonovel.com said was not an answer but a question.
“Casper, how long have you been on the pathway to immortality?”
“Elder Terry, this year will be my third year,” Caspian replied.
“If this year is your third year, that means it’s been less than three years,” Terry murmured, then glanced at Caspian, saying, “You’re not from a family of cultivators, are you?”
Caspian nodded honestly. “That’s right! Before I came to Heavenly Stars Sect, I lived in the county, and I didn’t even know about cultivators and the Pulse Control Realm.”
Terry chuckled. “That’s no wonder. Casper, I understand the doubts in your heart. You’re from the mortal world, so, naturally, you’ll be affected physically and mentally by the secular life. Perhaps it‘s because of your living environment, and you feel the elders just now didn’t care about the disciples in their sect and even seemed cold-blooded, right?”
As a junior, Caspian obviously could not say otherwise to his seniors, so favonovel.com smiled and said, “I just think it’s a little weird.”
”It’s not that they don’t care about those disciples. On the contrary, the disciples who can come back safely this time will get unimaginable huge rewards. Our Heavenly Stars Sect disciples, including you, will be no exception,” then, Terry paused and continued, “The pathway to immortality is complicated, and the only way is to be at the front. Casper, you should know that even though this is a journey, it’s better to say it is a process of refining a diamond in the rough. The resources for cultivating immortals are limited, so the sect is concerned about who is left instead of caring about who they lost. Therefore, as I just said, the disciples who have returned safely this time will become the real focus of cultivation of each sect until the subsequent big wave refinement comes along. As for the second and most important point I want to make, the cultivator’s own heart.”
“The cultivator’s own heart?” Caspian looked at Terry, puzzled.
