Just by looking at Zhang Fashan’s face, it was possible to see that this Lu Xuan was much more than meets the eye.
Zhang Fashan paused, organized his words, and then said, “I have also sent information to my brother about this Lu Xuan. Did he not tell you about this?”
Zhang Tianle shook his head and said, “Master, he is currently undergoing private training and hasn’t come out for some time. Even though we came to the world this time, he only spoke to me a few times through voice transmission!”
“I see!” Zhang Fashan nodded as if he suddenly understood something. “This is a very complex man with an equally mysterious origin. From what I know so far, I haven’t been able to find out anything about his background, what kind of master he has, or whether he has a master or not. It’s all a mystery to me!”
“Even uncle can’t find anything?” Zhang Tianle thought it was a little strange. Considering Zhang Fashan’s position in Longhu Mountain, he had been secretly observing the world for hundreds of years. Very few secrets could be kept hidden from him.
If Lu Xuan had any secrets, then it should have been impossible for it to be hidden from his uncle’s observation.
However, Zhang Tianle now realized that there were people whose origins even his uncle did not know.
Zhang Fashan nodded. “No matter what kind of technique he practiced or what kind of magic he uses, I don’t know anything about them. It seems as if he has appeared out of thin air. I suspect that he may have arrived from beyond the stars!”
Hearing this, the group of young disciples looked dazed. They did not know what Zhang Fashan meant by that. However, Zhang Tianle’s expression changed slightly as if he seemed to have thought of something.
Even so, he decided to keep it to himself and instead said, “I heard that this Lu Xuan is quite young, maybe only in his thirties?”
Zhang Fashan nodded. For a moment, Zhang Tianle did not respond. One by one, however, the many young disciples were in an uproar.
This was because ordinary people considered a person in their thirties or forties to be middle-aged. By cultivators’ standards, however, they were still in their prime; cultivators considered people to be young until they were at least 100 years old.
What were they doing in their thirties? They weren’t able to touch the threshold of the Divine Treasure Realm or even think of touching it.
However, Lu Xuan seemed to have already become an expert, which shocked the world.
According to the information they received, Lu Xuan was so fierce that he killed or captured even the elite disciples whom they looked up to. Reaching this level of power was simply an unimaginable miracle for them.
One of the young disciples was unconvinced and asked, “Uncle, is it truly so easy to cultivate on Earth now?”
He had thought of the rumor of how, at this moment, the earth had just recovered. The number of opportunities for cultivation far exceeded those of other places. The speed of cultivation was also several times or even 10 times faster than the other places.
This was the law of the world, which rapidly supported the fast maturity of everything related to cultivation.
When they came to Earth this time, they had also wanted to step into this new trend.
They wanted to cultivate to a higher level in a short amount of time on Earth.
Some elders even speculated that this time, Earth would not just recover to the same level as it was in the past. It may have even advanced to a level that had never been seen before. When that time arrived, they would all benefit from it.
They would become masters of an era of everlasting glory.
When they heard that Lu Xuan had already become a shocking expert in his thirties or forties, they could not help but put on envious expressions. Since it was something that they too could’ve achieved, this feat was not much to them.
Zhang Fashan glanced at the disciple. He shook his head and said, “It’s not because it’s easy to cultivate on Earth now. He could achieve the same things even if he was in a different environment. He could maybe even reach new terrifying heights!”
Another young disciple who was unconvinced said, “How is that possible? There is no better environment than Earth!”
“If we had such a good environment, we would definitely have cultivated faster and become stronger than him. He isn’t that amazing!”
Zhang Fashan’s expression turned slightly cold. His disciple who had said this was not only his descendant but also someone related to him by blood from the same race. The thought infuriated him.
He calmly opened his mouth and said, “That way of thinking is completely wrong. If you think like that, then you’re wrong. Since you guys have been in the Blessed Enclave for so many years, no one had been able to compete with you guys. That is why you all have become so arrogant. You guys think that there are no geniuses in the human world, but you all remain ignorant of one thing. While it is easier for geniuses to thrive in places with high amounts of spirit qi, that does not necessarily mean that geniuses won’t appear in other places!
“As of now, more than seven billion people are in the Human Alliance. Can you guys imagine that kind of number? It is dozens of times as many people as when you had left the earth for the Blessed Enclave. With such a large population in a world with prosperous science and technology, do you think that geniuses won’t exist among them? As a matter of fact, the Human Alliance alone has hundreds of thousands of geniuses who are at the same level as all of you!”
Zhang Fashan could not help but speak his mind. He did not have the heart to crack down on these disciples, but he also had to make them face reality.
This was the reality. The Human Alliance had control over all the humans on Earth. In the past, they had to pick out geniuses and elites from a vast sea of people.
As of now, more than 20 of the people standing before him made up at least more than a third of the elites of Longhu Mountain from the Blessed Enclave. They were the pillars of this generation.
In the Blessed Enclave, there were more than 3,000 disciples from Longhu Mountain. They could be considered a famous sect.
In ancient times, such a sect would have been a behemoth that influenced the whole world.
Now that the Human Alliance had control, however, this was nothing. In fact, 3,000 people, even organizations with hundreds of thousands of people, could’ve been found anywhere.
They paled in comparison to the forces under the Human Alliance’s control.
With the power of Longhu Mountain, there would be no more than 100 geniuses like this in a generation. Perhaps only 10 of them would’ve been elites.
In contrast, the Human Alliance had hundreds of thousands of geniuses, along with millions of lower-tier geniuses. Over time, people found geniuses in hiding, who would join the Human Alliance and be developed by them.
How could they ever reach that kind of level?
It was like the height difference between ants and elephants. If not for the lack of top experts in the Human Alliance and the lack of time to accumulate information, they could’ve easily destroyed the world.
The two sides were not at the same level at all. If the Human Alliance wanted to destroy Longhu Mountain, they could probably do so with just one finger.
