Chapter 235: Chapter 235 - Borrowed Power
Century-old Divine Medicine is truly scarce, yet elite martial clans and wealthy upper-class families typically maintain one or more specimens in their private collections.
Consequently, when word spread, numerous visitors flocked to Conrad Schroeder.
For martial practitioners, the Level Enhancement Pill represents genuine divine medicine.
However, to me, it means absolutely nothing.
The alchemical methods my father left behind are extraordinarily refined and far surpass anything in today’s world!
Even the Divine Alchemist Pavilion, revered as sacred by the masses, might not match its sophistication.
Using those herbs Caldwell left behind, I spent three days creating a complete set of seven Level Enhancement Pills.
"Victor Green, deliver this Level Enhancement Pill to the Schroeder Family." I wrapped the seven Level Enhancement Pills with care and passed them to Victor Green.
"And this one, take it to the Blake family. Inform Sawyer Blake that this Pill can rescue his son." I wrapped another Pill meticulously and spoke.
Victor Green wasted no time. After receiving the Level Enhancement Pill, he departed swiftly.
Once Victor Green had gone, I planned to tend to my vegetable garden. But suddenly, a sharp agony pierced through my mind, like countless needles stabbing at once!
"What’s this, have you abandoned your master?"
A sinister voice invaded my thoughts!
The agony was more than I could bear.
Through the pain, I retrieved the stone statue and placed my hand upon it.
Light flashed immediately, and my divine consciousness was instantly drawn inside.
The moment I entered the stone statue, overwhelming authority crashed down upon me!
With a thunderous "bang!"
My entire body was hurled directly to the ground!
"You think you can deceive me?" The Old Ancestor spoke icily.
I responded quickly, "I wouldn’t dare, Old Ancestor, how could I possibly deceive you..."
The Old Ancestor scoffed, "What’s the status on breaking the seal? Any advancement?"
I answered hastily, "Nearly there, nearly there, just grant me several more days, and I’ll definitely free you!"
"Boom!"
Another massive palm crashed down upon my body!
"Ah!" The force of this strike was tremendous, and even I couldn’t suppress a cry of anguish!
The Old Ancestor fixed his gaze on me and roared, "You’d better understand your position! You’re merely my servant! I don’t care what obligations you have, abandon everything! Go find a method to shatter the seal right now!"
I cursed silently in my heart!
Servant, I’ll servant your grandmother!
This ancient beast genuinely regarded me as his slave!
"Old Ancestor, I’ve just learned some extraordinary information." At that moment, I suddenly recalled something.
I shifted my eyes and said, "I discovered that Mason Raymond possesses a legendary chaotic body! That explains his incredible talent!"
When he heard "chaotic body," the Old Ancestor’s demeanor changed dramatically!
The dark energy within the stone statue churned, as though it would devour everything!
"Is this accurate?!" The Old Ancestor fixed his stare upon me.
I nodded vigorously, "Absolutely! I’ve battled him multiple times, and there’s no doubt whatsoever!"
"Hahaha!" The Old Ancestor burst into ecstatic laughter!
The laughter resonated like thunder, hammering my divine consciousness and nearly causing me to lose consciousness!
"Legend claims the chaotic body is the supreme constitution in existence, with an incredibly powerful form, said to be unbeatable among peers!"
"If I can acquire the chaotic body, who in this world could possibly threaten me?" The Old Ancestor laughed with pure joy!
The supreme constitution? Incredibly powerful form? Unbeatable among peers?
I couldn’t help but feel secretly amazed!
No wonder my body had undergone multiple enhancements during the Foundation Establishment Stage!
"Boy, you must secure this chaotic body by any means necessary." The Old Ancestor addressed me coldly.
I nodded eagerly and said, "Old Ancestor, rest assured, just provide me with slightly more time, and I promise you’ll escape this cursed place!"
"I cannot wait any longer! I refuse to remain in this location for even another moment!" The Old Ancestor declared coldly.
I said uncomfortably, "Old Ancestor, I wish to move faster as well, but the sect faces peril currently, and I’m no opponent for that Mason Raymond..."
The Old Ancestor remained quiet for a while. He observed me and spoke slowly, "I can temporarily grant you my Inner Strength."
I was shocked, then said with excitement, "Old Ancestor, do you mean it?"
The Old Ancestor confirmed with a nod, "Indeed, but this method drains much of my energy, and it might potentially damage my foundation."
"As long as I can secure the chaotic body, this cost means nothing." The Old Ancestor suddenly shifted topics.
I was thrilled!
This old monster was actually going to share his power with me!
I had been concerned about how to seize that Divine Medicine!
"Old Ancestor, may I inquire, what is your... present realm?" I asked cautiously.
The Old Ancestor snorted, "At my zenith, I was a Martial Grandmaster. Now my power has diminished, perhaps I can only achieve the Grandmasters Realm."
Martial Grandmaster?
This old monster actually exceeded a Grandmaster?
"That’s sufficient!" I nodded quickly.
"With the power of the Grandmasters Realm, eliminating Mason Raymond will be effortless!" I said with excitement.
The Old Ancestor nodded slightly. He looked at me coldly and asked, "How much time do you require?"
I considered briefly and said, "One month! Within one month, I’ll free you from this wretched place!"
"No, that’s excessive." The Old Ancestor said coldly.
"I’ll allow you only twenty days."
I sneered internally:
I knew this old thing would negotiate! Fortunately I requested ten extra days beforehand!
Twenty days were plenty for me!
"Remember, you have only twenty days." The Old Ancestor whispered quietly.
The next instant, my divine consciousness returned to my body.
As I was rising from the ground, the mark in my mind started to flicker and shine.
Then, terrifying Inner Strength exploded from the mark!
This Inner Strength flowed continuously throughout my body, through my meridians, and completed twenty full cycles!
Finally, this Inner Strength rushed into my dantian!
A frightening force suddenly erupted!
I felt my body undergo a fundamental transformation, and my strength multiplied dozens of times instantly!
"Boom!"
Terrible energy burst from my body automatically!
The overwhelming aura flattened everything around me!
Even the earth beneath my feet developed dense fractures!
"Boom!"
At last, the ground couldn’t endure any longer and started sinking gradually! Eventually, it became a massive crater several meters deep!
"Whoosh!"
Quickly, golden light soared from the enormous pit!
I, surrounded by golden radiance, was brilliant in the sunlight, like a deity descending!
This was power I had never felt before! It even left me unable to control it momentarily!
"So this is the Grandmasters Realm..." I clenched my fists and smiled coldly.
