Chapter 155: Chapter 155
"Stop. Let’s both take a step back. If we keep fighting, we might expose ourselves. You don’t have to go into the storage bag, but you must let me hang you from my waist."
Adam looked at the Jade Auspicious Scepter, feeling helpless, maintaining a stalemate with it was pointless.
The Scepter wobbled in the air, seemingly agreeing. It slowly floated toward his waist and shrank until it was the size of half a palm.
Adam sighed in relief, communication was possible after all.
He gathered a cluster of the Power of the Stars at his waist, and the Dragon-Tiger Jade Auspicious Scepter hung quietly on his jade belt.
Having placated the Scepter, Adam erased all traces of their scuffle, altered his features and aura once again, and flew toward the capital.
He didn’t go home that night. Instead, he rented a room at an inn.
That aura descending from the Heavens had been exceedingly terrifying.
Fortunately, Adam possessed the Six-Eared Macaque’s divine ability, Omniscience of All Things, which allowed him to sense the danger ahead of time.
Otherwise, he truly might have perished.
Was that aura someone from the Heavenly Court?
But why would the Heavenly Court be chasing the Dragon-Tiger Jade Auspicious Scepter?
The Golden Spirit Holy Mother’s status in the Heavenly Court was roughly on par with the Jade Emperor’s.
Why did her spiritual treasure descend to the mortal realm to find him?
With the Golden Spirit Holy Mother around, the meager Power of the Stars he possessed shouldn’t have been enough to attract the Scepter.
Truly bizarre.
Adam pulled the Investiture of the Primordial Gods from his robes and frowned in deep thought. Ultimately, he put it away.
His intuition told him something was wrong within the Heavenly Court, he didn’t dare casually comprehend the divine abilities from this book anymore.
If he accidentally summoned some other entity down, he would be in massive trouble.
He then opened A Brief Discourse on the Eighteen Arhats and Records of the Bizarre Mountains and Seas.
[You have read the life of the Subduing Dragon Arhat. You are very focused, activating God-Tier Comprehension.]
[Your comprehension is God-Tier. You have comprehended the divine ability Arhat Heaven-Overturning Seal.]
...
After finishing the section on the Eighteen Arhats, Adam was somewhat disappointed.
The divine abilities of the Eighteen Arhats were relatively weak in comparison.
He then opened Records of the Bizarre Mountains and Seas, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
He originally thought it would be documenting creation myths and primordial beasts.
Instead, he discovered it was just a mundane collection of folk rumors about landscapes and basic ghost stories.
Adam sighed, he couldn’t blame the sloppy old Daoist. These technically counted as mythological texts, and he had forgotten to be specific with his request.
Tossing the books aside, Adam set up a defensive array formation and drifted off to sleep.
The Heavenly Void Mystic Realm.
Above countless towering, majestic mountains sat a floating, luxurious giant city.
The city was larger than most ordinary mortal dynasties, the entire metropolis was permeated with rich Dao Rhyme.
In the center stood a massive palace constructed entirely from spirit stones.
Countless rays of auspicious light filled the air. If outsiders from the Great World were to see this, their jaws would drop to the floor.
The spiritual energy they painstakingly cultivated over an entire year probably couldn’t compare to a single breath taken here.
This was the ancestral city of the Imperial Clan.
"Yes, Clan Head! We will definitely capture the Innate Dao Body and bring her back!"
"Please rest assured, Clan Head. I will definitely assist Senior Brother in achieving the supreme Innate Dao Body Holy Fetus!"
"Senior Brother will definitely become our Clan’s second Great Emperor!"
Voices rang out from the palace, followed by five streaks of flowing light that shot out, carrying astonishing momentum as they flew toward the outside world.
Inside the grand hall.
Silas sat in his chair, feeling anxious and uneasy.
The five who had just flown out were the Dao Childs of the Imperial Clan.
He hadn’t told the Imperial Clan about his own Dao Child’s death because it would have been far too humiliating for the Ancient Ash Clan, he only mentioned that the target had many experts protecting her.
Because of this, the Imperial Clan had dispatched five Dao Childs and even authorized them to bring a squad of Imperial Guards.
The Imperial Guards!
They were composed of Heaven and Earth Deities of the Imperial Clan who had lost all hope of further advancement.
They had willingly severed their own cultivation to drop back to the Mortal Supreme realm just to protect the Dao Childs and secure opportunities once the Heaven and Earth Upheaval began.
Their combat prowess was extraordinarily formidable.
As long as the Deity Ban remained unlifted, a lineup like this could completely flatten the Vast Azure Region.
They should be able to capture that cheap spawn this time, right?
"Daoist Silas, do not be nervous. As long as the Innate Dao Body is captured and brought back, the benefits for your Ash Clan will absolutely not be small!"
The speaker was a man with grizzled temples, a steady countenance, and a warm smile, he was the Clan Head of the Imperial Clan, Damion.
"Thank you, Clan Head. Then I shall eagerly await the good news!"
Despite the reassurance, Silas felt inexplicably unconfident for some unknown reason.
The next day, Crouching Dragon Ancient City.
Adam and Lucian met up in front of the Immortal-Burial Ancient Tomb.
Because the Silver Willow dynasty was geographically remote, coupled with the concealment formation Adam had set up, the tomb had not yet been discovered by anyone.
"Friend Adam, let’s go in. This time, our main goal is to secure the seventh layer and strive for the eighth!"
Lucian took a deep breath, last time, breaking through to the sixth restriction had forced them to exhaust all their methods.
Adam’s strength had improved significantly since then, but without breaking through to the Deity realm, there wouldn’t be a qualitative leap in power.
"Understood!" Adam nodded, he wasn’t the type to be reckless with his own life either.
