Dark Phoenix Prince

Chapter 126: Five Elements Sect Part 2

"Firstly, I hope you won't regret hearing this. Our fire temple is actually the weakest temple in the Five Elements Sect. There's a reason for that, but it's actually also a tremendous opportunity for us fire cultivators."

"Oh." Alu was immediately interested after hearing the old man's words.

"We'll talk about the history of our sect first."

"We may be one of the holy lands on the continent of the Rising Sun. But in reality, our sect has the most profound history."

"The reason why our sect is called the Five Elements Sect is because our sect has five mountains where each of them becomes the headquarters for each of the temples."

"As for why the mountains were used as headquarters by the temples. That is of course because each mountain has something that becomes the foundation for each temple."

"Oh, what is it?" Asked Alu.

"That is the essence of the element." Replied the old man.

"The essence of the elements?" Alu showed a confused expression.

It wasn't as if he had never heard of the so-called elemental essence. However, the problem was, there were too many things in this world that were called elemental essences.

The elemental essence the old man was referring to was definitely not an ordinary elemental essence.

"Well, every mountain in our sect has their own elemental essence. From the elemental essence of fire, water, wind, earth, and lightning."

"However, the elemental essences in the other four mountains have long been taken away. Only the elemental essences in our fire temple mountain haven't been taken away."

"Mm, you might be a little confused. But these elemental essences are not as simple as ordinary elemental essences."

"This is the sect's greatest secret. But the five elemental essences in those five mountains are actually the legacy of an extremely powerful expert."

"According to rumors, before our sect was founded. There was an expert who died in the territory now occupied by our sect." The old man explained.

"No one in our sect knows what the dead expert's name was. But every elemental essence in every mountain has an inheritance from that expert."

"Anyone who can obtain the elemental essence in those mountains, that person will obtain one of that dead expert's inheritance."

"The reason why the other four temples can be stronger than ours is because each of the other four temples has already acquired one of the inheritances."

"Actually, it is not only one individual who gets the inheritance. But several individuals who cooperate. So each inheritance is basically owned by several individuals."

"The individuals who possessed that legacy are now temple masters. They are all temple leaders."

"Of course, our fire temple also has temple masters. But since they have no inheritance, their strength is one level weaker than that of other temple masters."

"So why can't you guys take that fire essence?" Alu then asked.

From the words of the old man, Alu guessed that the old man must be one of the masters of the fire temple. He was probably the strongest of all the fire temple masters as he could decide the status of a holy son.

"Hehehe. This is definitely not our fault." The old man answered while scratching his hair.

"In fact our talents are no worse than other temple masters. It's just that, fire essence is indeed more difficult to take away."

"Why?"

"I also do not know." The old man shook his head.

"But even though the strength of the fire temple is weaker than the other temples, we are still very strong. Our fire temple mountain has the same resources as the other mountains. We only lost in terms of cultivation techniques."

"Well, you are still young but you have already reached this stage. There are not many talents like you in the Rising Sun continend." He then took another look at Alu.

"There are quite a number of young geniuses breaking through to the nirvana stage at your age. But to ascend to the second or third layer of nirvana, even those geniuses usually still take several years."

"Even if they have cultivation resources, most of them can't use them properly. Many of them ended up destroying their own cultivation foundations as a result of them breaking through too fast in the Nirvana realm."

"Maybe you were able to advance this fast because you relied on certain cultivation resources. But the fact that you can obtain those cultivation resources and use them well proves your talent is truly unusual."

"So you want me to do?" Alu asked one more time.

"Right." The old man nodded.

Alu fell silent. But in his heart he said. "Well, at least there is something I can strive for in this sect."

"Hehehe. This is definitely not our fault." The old man answered while scratching his hair.

"In fact our talents are no worse than other temple masters. It's just that, fire essence is indeed more difficult to take away."

"Why?"

"I also do not know." The old man shook his head.

"But even though the strength of the fire temple is weaker than the other temples, we are still very strong. Our fire temple mountain has the same resources as the other mountains. We only lost in terms of cultivation techniques."
