Chapter 120: Chapter 120

After breaking six restrictions in a row, Adam did not choose to continue. Instead, he stopped directly.

Although the treasures hidden within the restrictions were precious, they also harbored massive risks.

While the Grand Flame Dao Talisman could bypass the restrictions, it could not bypass the dangers lying behind them.

The dangers within the sixth restriction had nearly forced them to exhaust all their methods. If they broke the seventh, even if his strength sufficed, it would be almost impossible without paying a heavy price. This was not something Adam could accept.

Since he had the Grand Flame Dao Talisman anyway, he could enter the Immortal Burial Ancient Tomb at any time.

Given his current strength, the risks of the seventh restriction and beyond were still too great. He could only wait until his strength grew further before returning for the remaining opportunities.

That way, the risk would be minimized.

After leaving the Immortal Burial Ancient Tomb, Adam made a trip to the Sword Sect, instructed Cecilia to earnestly comprehend that sword scripture there, and then returned to the Vernal Manor.

No one knew when he left, and similarly, none of his watchers discovered when he returned.

When Adam arrived back at the Vernal Manor, the sky was already growing bright. After washing up simply, he went to Inkwood Academy for duty.

As soon as he stepped into the academy, he felt the atmosphere was somewhat heavy, completely different from the usual relaxed chatting environment.

In the past, after finishing their tasks, the officials would gather to chat about everything under the sun.

Today, however, they all looked preoccupied, their faces full of worry, not caring much about the work in their hands.

A trace of confusion flashed in Adam’s eyes. He walked to his desk by the window and sat down.

Just as he was about to pick up a book to read, an academy official saw him busy with duties and hurriedly spoke up.

"Adam, at a time like this, how are you still in the mood to handle official business?!"

Seeing Adam acting as if nothing had happened and still handling his duties, Scholar Ryan’s eyes filled with astonishment.

Noticing the worried look on Ryan’s face, Adam finally could not hold back his doubts. "Brother Ryan, what exactly happened? Why do you all have such worried looks on your faces, as if the sky is about to fall?"

"You don’t know?!"

Seeing Adam’s completely clueless expression, a trace of confusion appeared in Scholar Ryan’s eyes.

Hearing Ryan’s words, Adam knew that during the past half month, some major event must have occurred.

Although with his current strength he had a fair amount of confidence in escaping even if the sky truly did fall, he did not want to see his peaceful life disrupted.

"Brother Ryan, as you know, I fell severely ill during these past half a month. Therefore, I am completely ignorant of what has been happening in the outside world."

"Please enlighten me, Brother Ryan. What kind of major event has occurred in the past two weeks to make everyone look so worried?"

For the past half month, Adam had been staying in the Misty Ghost Forest cultivating bitterly. He was truly clueless about the major events happening in the capital.

Seeing that Adam really knew nothing, Scholar Ryan patiently explained. "You might not be aware, but ever since the rebel army led by Oswin acquired a Heavenly Grotto-Blessed Land, their strength has surged dramatically."

"In just a short half month, they conquered cities all along the way, and now they have completely surrounded the entire capital."

"What? Oswin has already led his army to attack the capital?!"

Adam’s eyes were full of shock, he did not expect Oswin to be this fierce, achieving such a feat and entirely encircling the capital in just a few short months.

A smile appeared on Adam’s face. He felt genuinely happy for Oswin from the bottom of his heart, Oswin worried for the world.

If the common people of the Silver Willow dynasty were under his rule, they might actually live peaceful lives.

If Oswin could truly become the ruler of the Silver Willow dynasaty, perhaps Adam could also bask in the reflected glory!

After all, he and Oswin had a life-and-death friendship.

"Scholar Ryan, that doesn’t add up. As far as this one knows, it has only been half a month since Oswin acquired that Heavenly Grotto-Blessed Land."

"Even if there were heaven-defying opportunities within that Blessed Land, it would be impossible for the strength of his rebel army to increase this much in merely half a month."

"You must know that half a month ago, although the momentum of Oswin’s rebel army was massive, compared to the entire Silver Willow military, they were still at a clear disadvantage!"

The path of cultivation could not be accomplished overnight. Even for Adam, who had obtained a heaven-defying opportunity like the Medicine Immortal Realm, achieving a monumental leap in strength in such a short time was impossible.

Half a month ago, the rebel army led by Oswin indeed possessed massive momentum, breaking through dozens of Silver Willow cities in a row and looking completely unstoppable.

But the Silver Willow dynasty’s territory was vast, there were thousands of cities alone.

A few dozen could not shake the Silver Willow dynasty’s foundation.

How could it be like now, where they had actually surrounded the capital of the Silver Willow dynasty?

The capital was the lifeblood of the nation, the country’s most vital ground. If the capital was lost, Silver Willow dynasty would fall into absolute turmoil, and it truly would not be far from total subjugation.

Adam could not figure out what transformation Oswin’s rebel army had undergone in the past half month to force the Silver Willow dynasty into this predicament of crumbling mountains and rivers.

"Adam, it seems you truly haven’t received even a sliver of news!"

Scholar Ryan chuckled lightly and did not beat around the bush, continuing to explain. "Adam, what you don’t know is that while that Heavenly Grotto-Blessed Land has many resources and is indeed a blessed land, in the current the Silver Willow dynasty, it is no longer something extremely rare."

"Nowadays, across the thirteen major areas of the Silver Willow dynasty, secret realms appear from time to time in every territory, and there is no shortage of precious treasures within them."

"However, that kid Oswin’s luck is truly excellent. He actually discovered an Ancient Formation within that Heavenly Grotto-Blessed Land."
