Chapter 548: Chapter 301 “Speculation” and “Immortal Realm?” (Subscription Wanted)_1

Although the arena was enveloped in utter silence, the hearts of the spectators on the Fighting Techniques platform were far from quiet.

After all, ever since the Cheney Family took control of the entire Myriad Lakes Island sea region, the Elders of the Cheney Family had leaped to unattainable heights, becoming great figures.

If it weren’t for this grand event, they would not have had the opportunity to meet such Great Cultivators.

Moreover, this Second Elder of the Cheney Clan was the strongest Cultivator under the Myriad Lakes Immortal of the Cheney Family, possessing the Cultivation of Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.

After the silence fell over the scene, a calm voice emanated from the highest tower within the Fighting Techniques Pavilion.

“Let’s begin,”

The voice was neither loud nor soft, smooth and jade-like, without the grandeur and seriousness in the Second Elder’s voice, only plain and unembellished.

However, this voice reverberated almost instantaneously in the ears of all the Cultivators present.

It whispered by their ears, as if transmitting across a thousand miles.

Even though the owner of the voice did not show himself, almost instantly everyone present understood who the voice belonged to.

It was none other than the helmsman of the Cheney Family, the Myriad Lakes Immortal!

At this moment, not only did the audience on the Fighting Techniques platform show excitement on their faces,

even the younger generation of the Cheney Family Cultivators participating in the battle couldn’t help but reveal a trace of excitement and adoration on their faces.

The Family Head of the Cheney Family, even they usually did not have the qualification to see him.

Among these younger generation Cheney Family Cultivators present, less than three had ever laid eyes on Milton Cheney.

After all, he was the only Golden Core True Immortal that had emerged in the Myriad Lakes Island sea region in nearly a thousand years.

The younger generation of Cheney Family Cultivators had cold and sharp eyes, apart from the three Qi Cultivation Great Perfection Cultivators who were there just to make up the numbers, the atmosphere subtly began to clash among the remaining seven Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

The atmosphere became incredibly tense in that instant.

Within the Fighting Law Pavilion.

Milton Cheney’s spiritual sense swept over all the Cultivators on the Fighting Techniques platform.

His face was calm, and his eyes were as emotionless as an ancient well.

In the next moment, Milton Cheney slowly nodded, as if he was quite satisfied.

Seeing Milton Cheney nod, the Second Elder’s face also brimmed with a smile.

“Family Head, how are these youngsters?”

The Second Elder spoke, his tone carrying a hint of pride.

He was two generations senior to Milton Cheney, but in front of Milton Cheney, he behaved like a child longing for praise from an elder.

This was not surprising.

After all, the oppressive force that a Golden Core True Immortal brought was simply too vast.

A Golden Core True Immortal, not to mention within this small Myriad Lakes Island sea region, even in the whole Southern Sea National Border, held an unshakably high status.

“Not bad,”

Milton Cheney nodded and said.

Milton Cheney did not go out of his way to lavish praise; he merely spoke the plain truth.

For the Cheney Family at this time, for their younger generation of Cultivators to reach this level was certainly commendable, even excellent.

Milton Cheney had witnessed the growth of the Cheney Family over the years.

Especially after the Cheney Family took control of the entire Myriad Lakes Island sea region and lacked no resources for Cultivation, their developmental speed had skyrocketed more than a hundredfold compared to before.

Now, within the Cheney Family Treasury, there were still as many as twenty Foundation Establishment Elixirs unused.

Of course, this was only because compared to the vast Myriad Lakes Island sea region, the Cheney Family was too small.

As time passed, the Cheney Family would eventually hit a bottleneck.

But at least while resources were abundant, this pace of development would not slow down.

After Milton Cheney finished speaking, the smile on the Second Elder’s face grew even wider.

However, gradually, his smile faded, and a hint of contemplation appeared in his eyes.

He was well aware of what had brought the Cheney Family to its current glory.

If it weren’t for Milton Cheney, the Golden Core True Immortal, thinking that the Cheney Family could develop to its present stage was but a fool’s dream.

“This generation of young Cultivators in the Cheney Family has too many resources at their disposal, a hundred times better than in my time,”

“They don’t have to worry about anything in their Cultivation journey,”

“Over the long term, this might not necessarily be a good thing,”

The Second Elder spoke, his sentiments mixed with both joy and concern.

Milton Cheney could discern the implications in the Second Elder’s words.

Currently, the Cheney Family was under the protection of Milton Cheney, the Golden Core True Immortal, but without him, the Cheney Family would undoubtedly experience significant turmoil.

However, while Milton Cheney heard the subtext in the Second Elder’s words, he did not say much in response.

Some things are a balance; gain in some areas necessitates loss in others.

Milton Cheney had done everything that needed to be done, even exceeding what he had promised.

A smile appeared on Milton Cheney’s face as he gently shook his head.

Actually, the Second Elder was overthinking things.

Even if the Cheney Family lost Milton Cheney, the Golden Core True Immortal, as long as no other Golden Core True Immortal emerged within the Myriad Lakes Island sea region, the Cheney Family would not lose control over it.

After all, if that time came, it would only mean Milton Cheney had left the Myriad Lakes Island sea region, not that he was dead.

As long as other families could not confirm his true death within his lifespan, they would have to keep their ambitions to themselves, even if they harbored them.

Unless another Golden Core True Immortal was born within the Myriad Lakes Island sea region, and this Golden Core True Immortal had to be from a family Cultivator,

Only then would it be possible to wrest control of the Myriad Lakes Island from the Cheney Family.

Apart from that, the Cheney Family would not lose control over the Myriad Lakes Island sea region.
