Chapter 146: Chapter 146

Silas’s grizzled brows furrowed tightly, he still felt it was impossible.

Their Ancient Ash Clan was an Ancient Clan after all.

As their strongest Dao Child with a unique background, Stone’s strength would only surpass that of Dao Childs from other Ancient Clans.

Even against the peerless Dao Childs of the Imperial Clans, he wouldn’t be much weaker. Self-preservation should not have been an issue.

Yet he fell just like that?

"Alas, these Heavenly Court decrees are a bane!" Silas slumped back into his chair.

Not only did the Heavenly Court forbid Heaven and Earth Deities from appearing in the mortal realm, it also prohibited bringing Deity-level secret treasures into the Great World. Otherwise, given the Ancient Ash Clan’s foundation, Stone would have been armed to the teeth.

"Damn it! Why hasn’t this Deity Ban been lifted yet?! I want to avenge our Dao Child!" a clan elder fumed with rage.

But their hands were tied.

If they severed their cultivation to enter the Great World, how would that differ from seeking death? Their suppressed strength would definitely be inferior to Stone’s.

Silas forcefully suppressed the fury in his heart, every Dao Child was cultivated using astronomical resources, and Stone’s death was a colossal loss for the Ancient Ash Clan.

"The Deity Ban is generally lifted during the mid-stage of the Heaven and Earth Upheaval. When that time comes, I will make whoever killed Stone pay blood for blood! They will taste the consequences of incurring the wrath of an Ancient Clan!"

The eyes of the other elders brimmed with sheer hatred.

When an Ancient Clan unleashed its wrath, corpses would pave the ground for thousands of miles.

"Clan Head, what should we do about the Innate Dao Body?" the Sixth Elder asked slowly.

The grand hall fell dead silent.

Silas’s face was cold as frost.

After pondering briefly, he spoke helplessly, "Let the Imperial Clan capture her themselves. The Upheaval is only growing more intense, we cannot afford to lose more manpower on this matter."

"Furthermore, if another Ancient Clan discovers the Innate Dao Body and informs the Imperial Clan before us, we won’t get a single shred of benefit."

"We might even be blamed by the Imperial Clan for hiding what we knew!"

The elders remained silent, knowing this was their only option now.

After Adam completely severed the foundation of the South-Subduing King’s lineage, he was invited to the Imperial Palace by Oswin.

"Brother Adam, you absolutely must become my dynasty Preceptor!" Oswin said, his heart overflowing with joy.

With Adam’s brutal display serving to make an example of the rebels, his throne was now impenetrable as an iron fortress.

"Your Majesty, let’s forget about the dynasty Preceptor title. I bear a massive karmic burden, and I don’t want to implicate you!" Adam declined.

He had slain the Dao Child of the Ancient Ash Clan, he and the Ancient Clan were locked in a blood feud.

If he became Oswin’s dynasty Preceptor, it would only bring disaster to a Silver Willow that had finally obtained a wise ruler.

Continuing to stay in the capital would provide him with no meaningful improvement.

With the descent of the Sixth Heaven and Earth Upheaval, opportunities were blooming everywhere, he needed to venture out and forge his own Dao.

Furthermore, the Silver Willow dynasty was just a mid-sized dynasty in the Eastern Continent.

Its reserves of mythological secret texts and martial dao manuals were naturally limited.

Rumor had it that in the Central Continent, there was a Heavenly Book Pavilion that collected all the tomes in the world.

From profound Creation divine abilities to trivial marketplace gossip, it had absolutely everything.

It could be said that it was the absolute best place for Adam.

However, the Central Continent was thousands upon tens of thousands of miles away. Moreover, the center of this Heaven and Earth Upheaval was suspected to be shifting toward the Silver Willow dynasty, or rather, toward the Vast Azure Region.

Now was not a good time to head there.

"The Ancient Ash Clan? There is no need to worry. With the Deity Ban in place, no matter how many people the Ancient Clan sends, you can suppress them with a single hand, Brother Adam!" In Oswin’s view, Adam was already invincible.

"No, what I am truly worried about is the Imperial Clan!" Adam shook his head, the Sword Sect Master had told him before.

The Ancient Ash Clan did not have many experts exceeding the Second Heaven of the Deity realm.

The Heaven and Earth Deity realm was divided into Nine Heavens.

Between each Heaven lay a massive chasm, with every breakthrough, one’s strength would double.

However, for Adam, these gaps would be infinitely minimized, perhaps even rendered non-existent.

The divine abilities Adam cultivated would only unleash their maximum might after he reached the Deity realm.

No matter which ability he used, they were all capable of slaying enemies across major realms.

An Ancient Clan would at most possess powerhouses at the Fourth or Fifth Heaven, he was confident he could protect himself.

But an Imperial Clan was completely different.

They had produced existences surpassing the Deity realm, their foundations were deeply unfathomable.

After failing for so long, there was a high probability the Ancient Ash Clan would inform the Imperial Clan about the Innate Dao Body.

If that happened, staying in the capital would make him a sitting duck.

"An Imperial Clan?!" Oswin’s heart skipped a beat as he suddenly remembered.

The entire conflict between Adam and the Ancient Clan was caused by his maidservant, Cecilia, the faction that truly desired Cecilia was an Imperial Clan.

"Exactly. Therefore, Your Majesty, this dynasty did not come easily, and in these chaotic times, the common people need stability more than anything, my intervention to deter those scoundrels is already enough. The rest I leave entirely to you!"

The Imperial Clan’s true target was Cecilia.

If he wasn’t in the capital, perhaps the Imperial Clan wouldn’t bother tracking down Oswin.

And if the Imperial Clan was truly hell-bent on not letting Oswin off, staying in the capital wouldn’t be of much use anyway.

He had to venture out, seek opportunities, and rapidly strengthen himself.

Only then would he have a chance to oppose the Imperial Clan.

"Alas, I understand. Brother Adam, thank you for doing me such a massive favor. If you have any conditions, please just say the word!" Oswin sighed, having figured out the reasoning behind Adam’s decision.
