Chapter 100: Chapter 100
The figure of the Sword Sect Master slowly descended from the sky, looking at Adam, he continued with a smile.
"Within the territory of the Eastern Continent, deities are forbidden to walk. This is an ironclad decree issued by the Ancient Heavenly Court during the era of the Third Heaven and Earth Upheaval." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
"That Thirteenth Elder was merely at the first tier of the Heaven and Earth Deity realm. He had to sever his own cultivation to finally set foot in the Eastern Continent and arrive at the Silver Willow dynasty."
"However, for Heaven and Earth Deities, the higher their cultivation, the greater the risk of perishing if they attempt to sever their cultivation to drop below the deity realm."
"Deities at the second tier and above are not numerous, even within the Ancient Ash Clan. They have even less guarantee that these experts won’t face the risk of death after severing their cultivation."
"Therefore, if the Ancient Ash Clan wishes to seize the Innate Dao Body, the most they can dispatch are figures on the level of the Thirteenth Elder. With my strength, the Ancient Ash Clan cannot be considered much of a threat for the time being."
The Sword Sect Master paused before continuing. "Compared to the Ash Clan, the Silver Willow Dynasty is actually the greatest threat."
"The Silver Willow Dynasty?" A trace of astonishment flashed in Adam’s eyes. He had not expected the Sword Sect Master to be so wary of the Silver Willow Dynasty, this left him somewhat confused.
"Senior Sect Master, although the Silver Willow Dynasty’s foundation is profound, it shouldn’t be worth such deep wariness from you!"
"With your strength alone, you suppressed five Imperial Ancestors. Why are you so wary of the Silver Willow Imperial Family?"
Half a month ago, the Heaven and Earth Upheaval had completely raised its curtain, and the Innate Spiritual Rain fell for seven days and seven nights.
It was also on that night that dozens of Imperial Ancestors awakened within the Silver Willow Imperial Family.
Adam had sensed them for an entire night. Although dozens had awakened, in terms of aura, very few could compare to those five.
As for existences that surpassed them, there was not a single one.
Although it looked like a stalemate when the Sword Sect Master fought those five just now, making it seem hard to determine a victor, Adam knew that from beginning to end, the five Imperial Ancestors were at an absolute disadvantage.
The Sword Sect Master was an existence far surpassing them.
True, the Silver Willow Imperial Family still had dozens of Imperial Ancestors left, but in the eyes of such an existence, they were mere rubble, unable to withstand a single blow.
That was why Adam was astonished at why the Sword Sect Master was still so wary of the Imperial Family.
The Sword Sect Master stroked his beard and laughed. "Little friend Adam, as the saying goes, two fists cannot rival four hands, and a fierce tiger cannot fend off a pack of wolves."
"Although this old man has already reached the Proving the Dao realm, the Silver Willow Imperial Family has a profound foundation. Over the past thousand years, they have accumulated dozens of Imperial Ancestors."
"To become an Imperial Ancestor, one must at the very least have stepped into the Entering the Dao realm. Furthermore, little friend, although those five from earlier were strong, they are not the true foundation of the Silver Willow Imperial Family!"
Not the true foundation! Hearing these words, it meant there were existences within the Imperial Family even stronger than those five.
A trace of doubt appeared in Adam’s eyes. "Senior Sect Master, among those five, two had stepped into the Proving the Dao realm, even the weakest was at the Mastering the Dao stage."
"To think there are existences even stronger! Could it be that the Silver Willow Imperial Family has a Heaven and Earth Deity?"
The Sword Sect Master shook his head. "Of course not. In its thousand-year history, Silver Willow has only birthed one Heaven and Earth Deity. Moreover, after the Fifth Heaven and Earth Upheaval receded, stepping into the deity realm was unimaginably difficult."
Changing the subject, his eyes filled with solemnity. "However, while the Silver Willow dynasty may not have a deity, they have nine Imperial Ancestors who carry a Divine Bloodline. If the nine joined forces, they would be comparable to a deity."
Divine Bloodline! A trace of horror showed in Adam’s eyes.
He had not expected the Imperial Family to actually have Imperial Ancestors with a Divine Bloodline, and a full nine of them.
When a Mortal Supreme achieves the Heaven and Earth Deity realm, the mortal blood in their body transforms into divine blood.
This divine blood contains the powerful strength of a deity and can be passed down through the bloodline.
The power of a bloodline varies in strength. Generally speaking, as long as one is a descendant of a deity, they will carry a Divine Bloodline to some extent.
But strictly speaking, none of these are qualified to be called a true Divine Bloodline.
The ones truly qualified are the direct children of a Heaven and Earth Deity.
These Divine Heirs possess the thickest Divine Bloodline.
Unless they encounter a peerless monstrous talent like Cecilia, it is difficult for them to meet their match within the same realm.
Sure enough, the Sword Sect Master’s next words proved his deduction.
"These nine Divine Heirs are immensely powerful. It took them barely over a century to become Proving the Dao existences. However, right before they were about to step into the Heaven and Earth Deity realm, they were sealed within Source Stone by Solaris."
"These nine Divine Heir Imperial Ancestors were all sealed during their prime. Once they awaken, they will be in their absolute peak condition."
"The momentum of this Heaven and Earth Upheaval far exceeds the previous ones. These nine Divine Heir Imperial Ancestors will definitely awaken. And once they do, I fear it will only take a very short amount of time for them to step into the Heaven and Earth Deity realm."
