The Primordial Tamer

Chapter 274 Elder's Meeting

Elder Winston then turned to address Elder Matt from Terra Nova Sect. Terra Nova Sect was known for their mastery of earth element techniques and their ability to tame powerful beasts of the earth.

"Elder Matt, it's good to see you and your disciples here," Elder Winston said, extending his hand in greeting.

Elder Matt was a burly man with a thick beard and calloused hands, a testament to his years of training and battling. "Thank you, Elder Winston. It's an honor to be here and to work with your sect and the others to explore the Ruin Space."

Elder Winston smiled warmly. "I'm glad to hear that. We all share a common goal, and it's important that we work together to achieve it. Let me introduce you to our disciples," he said, gesturing to the group of young men and women standing behind him.

Orion watched as Elder Winston and Elder Matt exchanged pleasantries and introduced their respective disciples. He noticed that the disciples from Terra Nova Sect were all rugged and tough-looking, with broad shoulders and weathered faces.

They looked like they could handle anything that the Ruin Space could throw at them, and Orion wondered what kind of beasts they had tamed to assist them in their journey.

As the two elders finished their introductions, Orion realized that this was truly a gathering of the best and brightest young minds and warriors from each of the sects. They were all here to explore the Ruin Space, to uncover its secrets, and to push the limits of their abilities.

Elder Winston then turned to address the last two elders, Elder Olivia from Aqua Tempest Sect and Elder Samuel from Sky Wing Sect. Aqua Tempest Sect was known for their mastery of water element techniques, while Sky Wing Sect specialized in wind element techniques and flying beasts.

"Elder Olivia, Elder Samuel, it's a pleasure to see you both here," Elder Winston said, nodding to each of them in turn.

Elder Olivia was a graceful woman with long, flowing blue hair and a serene expression. "Thank you, Elder Winston. It's an honor to be here and to work with your sect and the others to explore the Ruin Space."

Elder Samuel was a wiry man with a hawk-like nose and piercing eyes. "Indeed. I'm looking forward to seeing what secrets the Ruin Space holds," he said, his voice carrying a note of excitement.

Elder Winston smiled. "As am I. But before we begin our exploration, we must ensure that we are all prepared for what lies ahead. Our journey will not be an easy one, and we must be ready for any challenges that may come our way."

Orion watched as Elder Winston led the group in a brief prayer, asking for strength, courage, and wisdom in their quest. The disciples from each of the sects bowed their heads in unison, their voices joining together in a solemn chant.

As they finished their prayer, Elder Winston turned to the group. "We are ready," he said, his voice firm and resolute. "Let us begin our exploration of the Ruin Space."

Orion felt a sense of excitement and trepidation as the group began to move out, each disciple following their respective elder. The Ruin Space was a dangerous place, full of unknown perils and ancient secrets.

Orion walked up to Orion as they started to move out. "Orion, be careful," she said, placing a hand on his shoulder. "I know that when we entered the Ruin Space, we will be split up, and we won't be able to rely on each other as much. Remember to stay alert and be cautious."

Orion nodded, grateful for Aurora's words of caution. He knew that the Ruin Space was a place where anything could happen, and he needed to be prepared for anything. He looked around at his fellow disciples, wondering who he would be paired up with.

Orion turned to Aurora and gave her a small smile, acknowledging her warning. "Thank you, Aurora. I will be careful," he replied, his voice steady despite the nerves he felt.

Aurora's expression grew serious. "Also, remember that even though the four elders from other sects seem kind, there is some darkness in it," she said, her eyes scanning their surroundings. "The disciples from other sects may as well kill us to get the treasures in it. This is a competition, not a friendly meeting."

Orion's heart sank at Aurora's words. He had hoped that the disciples from the other sects would be honorable and not resort to violence, but now he realized that he couldn't let his guard down. He nodded again, this time more solemnly. "I understand. I'll keep my wits about me," he said.

Aurora gave him a reassuring pat on the back. "Good. We're all here to find treasures that will help our sects, but we must not forget our own safety," she said.

Orion watched as Aurora walked away, her long robes swishing behind her. He took a deep breath and steeled himself for what was to come. He knew that the Ruin Space was a place where only the strong survived, and he was determined to make it out alive.

As he walked, he couldn't help but think about Aurora's warning. He had always believed in the goodness of people, but now he realized that there were those who would do whatever it takes to get what they wanted.

Orion's thoughts drifted back to the moment when he had killed Marcus, one of his fellow disciples from his own sect. It had been a brutal and bloody fight, but Orion had emerged victorious. He had no regrets about it, for Marcus had been a threat to his own survival.

Ever since that day, Orion had steeled his heart and become more ruthless. He knew that the world was a harsh and unforgiving place, and that he needed to be willing to do whatever it took to survive.

As he walked to the Ruin Space, he observed the other disciples from the different sects. They all seemed to be on high alert, eyeing each other warily. Orion could sense the tension in the air, and he knew that it was only a matter of time before things turned violent.
