Chapter 151: Chapter 151
The disheveled, sloppy old Daoist with messy hair appeared before Adam.
"Old sir, the task has been completed!" Adam offered a polite greeting and unceremoniously dumped the Demonic Sect Master’s corpse out of his storage bag.
"Not bad... Hmm? This is a Deity’s aura! He actually recovered to the Heaven and Earth Deity realm?!" The sloppy old Daoist’s heart jolted, this was beyond his expectations.
"If your senses are correct, then he should have broken through to the Deity realm!" Adam nodded.
"And you still killed him?!" the old Daoist asked in sheer astonishment.
Although he had previously stated that Adam could easily slaughter the Demonic Sect Master, that was under the assumption the Sect Master hadn’t broken through to the Deity realm.
The disparity between a Heaven and Earth Deity and a Mortal Supreme was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Furthermore, the Demonic Sect Master was no ordinary Deity, he had already ascended to the Deity realm once before, making him far more formidable than a standard Heaven and Earth Deity.
Yet Adam had won without suffering even the slightest injury?
"That is correct, old sir. I have fulfilled your request. Now, what about my mythological texts?" Adam’s face was brimming with anticipation.
"Rest assured, you won’t be shortchanged, take them!" The old Daoist tossed several books over.
He then stared at Adam as if looking at a complete monster.
Just who exactly is this youth? Leaving aside the 36 Demon Race divine abilities he had mastered, the Dao Rhyme radiating from his body wasn’t limited to one type.
How many Dao Laws had he comprehended?!
Adam received the texts, his eyes shining with pleasant surprise.
Investiture of the Primordial Gods.
A Brief Discourse on the Eighteen Arhats.
Records of the Bizarre Mountains and Seas.
Just looking at the titles, Adam couldn’t wait to rush back and read them, every one felt as if it concealed Grand Divine Abilities.
Especially the Investiture of the Primordial Gods, that was deeply connected to the birth of the deities in the Heavenly Court.
The Heavenly Court! The sole, supreme ruler! Governing the myriad heavens and realms! No one dared to defy it! Even the Imperial Clans had to obey its commands!
"Thank you, old sir. By any chance, do you have more?" Adam wouldn’t let this opportunity slip by.
"Little friend Adam, I do not have more on me at the moment. However, if you are willing to become my disciple, I know of a place that houses so many mythological texts you wouldn’t finish reading them across three lifetimes." The sloppy Daoist’s desire to take on a disciple had been sparked.
A youth with such peerless aptitude would have immeasurable achievements in the future.
Adam’s heart trembled slightly, this Daoist’s identity was definitely far from simple, even at the Proving the Dao realm, he still couldn’t see through the old man’s depths.
"Old sir, thank you for your kind intentions. However, I am accustomed to living like a wild crane in the idle clouds. I am not suited for rigid rules and restrictions!" Despite the temptation, he refused.
Adam possessed the God-Tier Comprehension System, this was a massive secret. If anyone found out, he would be met with catastrophic trouble.
The optimal situation was cultivating alone, with the System by his side, he had no need for a teacher’s guidance.
"Little friend Adam, won’t you at least listen to my identity before reconsidering?" The sloppy Daoist wasn’t angered in the slightest, asking with an amused smile.
"I know your identity must be extraordinary, old sir, but I am undisciplined by nature. Following you would only cause you trouble!" Adam declined once again.
"Very well, the fate between us has not yet ripened. Take this token. If there are tasks in the future, I will contact you through it, and if you change your mind, you can use it to reach me!"
The sloppy Daoist tossed a token to Adam, transformed back into a wisp of azure smoke, and vanished, taking the headless corpse with him.
Adam caught the token, the material felt quite ordinary, but the engraved patterns were incredibly intricate, resembling a majestic gateway with Dao Rhyme flowing across its surface.
Right in the center was the word King.
The identity of the slovenly old Daoist was even more mysterious and unfathomable.
Any item containing Dao Rhyme was incredibly precious. It required a powerful expert to use supreme divine abilities to imprint Dao Rhyme onto an object.
In an ordinary clan, such an item would be worshipped as a treasure.
Once someone comprehended the Dao Laws within it, that would be an incomparable opportunity.
Yet this old man had casually attached Dao Rhyme to a mundane token.
Adam tucked the token away, ready to depart, when he suddenly paused, the old man had left too quickly, he had forgotten to ask one thing.
How could the Demonic Sect Master break through to the Deity realm?
What about the Heaven and Earth Shackle?
Does the Heavenly Court not forbid the appearance of Deities?
Could it be that the Shackle has begun to loosen?
Adam’s heart sank. If this were truly the case, the Ancient Ash Clan and the Imperial Clan would be able to step out from the Heavenly Void Mystic Realm and descend into the Great World, both Cecilia and himself would be plunged into danger.
No! I must become a Deity as quickly as possible.
Without becoming a Deity, amidst the intensifying Upheaval, even a Mortal Supreme would be nothing more than a slightly larger ant when Deities entered the world.
Adam felt immediate pressure, he tore through the void and vanished.
Eastern Sea Coast, White Emperor City.
Atop a high tower piercing the clouds, at its summit stood a gate.
The entire structure looked as if crafted from jade, magnificent, opulent, and shimmering with brilliant light.
The gate was inscribed with Heavenly Patterns, saturated with Dao Rhyme. Its two blood-red doors were tightly shut, as if they would never open throughout the ages.
