Chapter 158: Chapter 158
One step slow means every step slow.
In this cruel reality, falling behind meant courting death.
Not to mention, he had two massive enemies breathing down his neck.
...
The Eastern Continent, the border of the Vast Azure Region.
In the night sky, a divine chariot flashed past at extreme speed, its trailing light like a shooting star. It was rapidly closing the distance to the Sword Sect.
Inside the chariot, five young men were gathered around a table.
"Senior Brother John, we should reach the Sword Sect by early tomorrow morning. After capturing the Innate Dao Body, should we take a trip to the Central Continent? I heard a Heavenly Grotto has opened there."
"That’s right, Senior Brother. We unsealed ourselves early. If we don’t seek benefits for ourselves, the gap between us and that Dao Body Holy Fetus will grow even wider."
"We are all Dao Childs, why should we run errands for him and get nothing?"
"That guy just has a slightly better background. For a branch family member to make us run errands... Senior Brother John, you are the true strongest Dao Child in our clan."
The four youths simultaneously looked toward the young man resting his eyes in the seat of honor.
He slowly opened his eyes, revealing dual pupils, mysterious profound truths flowed within them.
He swept a glance over the four and spoke indifferently.
"Do not speak such words again, we are all of the same clan. There is no distinction between main branch and side branch."
"The birth of an Innate Dao Body Holy Fetus is a good thing for our Clan, and it will greatly benefit us in the future. We must take a longer view."
John’s voice was very soft, seemingly indifferent to everything.
The other four furrowed their brows but didn’t dare say more.
Although they were all at the Proving the Dao realm, there was a clear disparity in strength, the four combined might not defeat John.
John not only possessed the Double-Pupil Holy Body, he had also comprehended the Dao Law of Destruction, one of the top ten Great Daos.
If it weren’t for the Dao Body Holy Fetus, John would absolutely be the most highly regarded Dao Child in the clan.
Possessing the Double-Pupil Holy Body, as long as he didn’t die prematurely, the Saint Realm was practically in the bag, he even had a legitimate chance to strive for the Great Emperor realm.
However, the Dao Body Holy Fetus inherently possessed the bearing of a Great Emperor.
If he devoured the Innate Dao Body and fully transformed into the Innate Dao Body Holy Fetus, the probability of becoming an Emperor would increase infinitely.
Legend had it that the last Great Emperor, the Azure Lotus Great Emperor, was an Innate Dao Body Holy Fetus.
This was why the Clan placed their cultivation focus on him.
Once he became an Emperor, the Imperial Clan would reign supreme above the myriad clans, and even the Heavenly Court would have to treat them with utmost courtesy.
Seeing everyone quiet, John closed his eyes again.
However, his fist hidden under the table clenched fiercely.
The next morning.
Adam finished his morning practice and hung the Jade Auspicious Scepter at his waist.
He was preparing to head to the Imperial Palace to ask Oswin what mythological texts had been collected.
But suddenly, his chest felt hot, he frowned, reached into his robes, and pulled out a sword talisman that was already cracked.
His pupils violently contracted.
This was the sword talisman the Sword Sect Master gave him for emergency communication. Once cracked, it meant massive danger.
The first ray of morning sun pierced through the darkness on the eastern horizon.
Within Sword Sect Mountain.
Cecilia sheathed her sword, wiping the fine sweat from her forehead, she began regulating her breathing, absorbing the essence of the morning sun.
At the highest peak, Lucian watched the diligently practicing Cecilia, his face full of gratification.
While most disciples were still resting, Cecilia was already up practicing swordsmanship.
An Innate Dao Body who was this hardworking, his Sword Sect had truly taken in an excellent disciple.
The sect’s rise was well within sight.
Lucian’s mouth curled up, he took a flying sword from his storage bag, preparing to reward it to Cecilia.
But suddenly, his expression changed drastically.
A sword lotus appeared beneath his feet, instantly expanding to cover all of Sword Sect Mountain.
An azure sword formation surfaced in the sky, rapidly enveloping the entire sect.
Cecilia was startled and stopped her breathing exercises.
Just as she was about to find the Sect Master, Lucian appeared beside her.
"Sect Master..."
"Go back to your room, do not come out without my word!" Lucian’s face was stern.
Cecilia’s face immediately paled, knowing something major had happened.
"Sect Master, is there anything I can do to help?"
Lucian shook his head. "No need. Your strength is not enough yet. The incoming enemies are very powerful, but with your Young Master’s array formation here, there shouldn’t be problems."
Although his face remained calm, his heart was heavily laden with worry.
The enemies this time weren’t random fools, they were genuinely formidable foes.
The Sword Sect disciples were also awakened, expressions of bewilderment on their faces.
"What’s happened?"
"Why has the Sect-Protecting Grand Formation been activated?"
"Wait, it didn’t look like this before, did it?"
"But it feels safer now, like it’s gotten stronger!"
Just as the disciples and elders were murmuring...
RUMBLE!
A deafening explosion echoed from outside the sword array, drawing everyone’s gaze.
"What’s going on? Is someone attacking the sect?!"
"Wasn’t the Silver Willow Dynasty already destroyed? How are there still enemies?!"
"What do we do?!"
"Where are the elders? Where is the Sect Master?!"
The disciples panicked, falling into complete chaos.
"All disciples and elders, hear my command! Initiate Grade-A Defense!"
Lucian’s voice rang out across the entire Sword Sect, his tone was majestic yet composed.
But to the ears of the disciples and elders, it stirred up monstrous waves in their hearts.
