Adam could not help but fall silent.
The strength of a Divine Heir was already formidable, finding an opponent in the same realm was rare.
Once they stepped into the Heaven and Earth Deity realm, they would absolutely not be something an ordinary deity could compare with.
The pressure in his heart doubled. Right now, he was merely an Entering the Dao existence. Having cultivated thirty-six Great Divine Abilities, his strength indeed far surpassed his peers, but his cultivation realm was ultimately too low.
As for those five Imperial Ancestors from earlier, Adam was confident he could easily slay them as well.
But if they were replaced by five Divine Heir Imperial Ancestors, he would not have much confidence.
Moreover, Silver Willow had a full nine of them, even if he stepped into the Mastering the Dao realm, he might not necessarily be their match.
If only he could step into the Proving the Dao realm before these Divine Heir Imperial Ancestors awakened.
Within the same realm, his strength would be truly invincible. Even if the number of Divine Heir Imperial Ancestors doubled, he would not fear them.
Thinking of this, Adam hurriedly asked, "Senior Sect Master, when will these nine Divine Heir Imperial Ancestors of Silver Willow awaken?"
"Half a month. In at most half a month, the Silver Willow Imperial Family will awaken them."
Half a month! Adam’s expression turned exceedingly ugly. frёewebηovel.cѳm
He was currently only at Entering the Dao, although he was on the verge of stepping into Mastering the Dao, trying to reach Proving the Dao in less than half a month was unfathomably difficult.
"Senior Sect Master, why are you so certain they will awaken in half a month? The Heaven and Earth Upheaval has only just begun. Why would they awaken from their slumber so early?"
The closer an Upheaval evolved toward its peak, the greater the opportunities birthed would be. Many powerhouses recorded in ancient history would choose to awaken from their sealed slumber at such a time.
Although these nine Divine Heir Imperial Ancestors could not compare to those ancient powerhouses, they still should not awaken this early.
The Sword Sect Master pondered for a moment, then said solemnly, word by word. "Because of the Immortal Burial Ancient Tomb."
"The Immortal Burial Ancient Tomb!"
Adam gasped, his face full of astonishment. "To think the name of this ancient tomb is so arrogant as to dare use the title Immortal Burial! Could it be that an immortal is buried within?"
The Sword Sect Master shook his head. "Since time immemorial, legends regarding immortals have amounted to no more than a few scattered words. Even Innate Deities would not dare be certain whether immortals truly exist."
"The one buried in this Immortal Burial Ancient Tomb might not necessarily be an immortal, but it is absolutely related to immortals."
"Speaking of which, the founding of the Silver Willow dynasty also shares a thread of karma with this tomb."
"A thousand years ago, the founding Emperor Solaris was fortunate enough to enter the Immortal Burial Ancient Tomb. No one knows what Solaris obtained inside."
"But after emerging from it, Solaris’s strength advanced by leaps and bounds, rapidly breaking through into the Heaven and Earth Deity realm."
"Back then, Solaris sealed his nine Divine Heirs within Source Stone precisely for the opportunities within this tomb."
"If those nine Divine Heir Imperial Ancestors had come here today, I fear even this old Daoist might not have been their match."
Hearing the Sword Sect Master’s words, Adam’s expression turned exceedingly grim.
Within the Sword Sect, the strongest was the Sword Sect Master.
If even he had little confidence in defeating the combined forces of those nine, what more could be said of Adam himself?
Even if he stepped into Mastering the Dao very soon, defeating those nine would undoubtedly come at a tragically heavy price.
"Senior Sect Master, if even you believe you are no match for those nine, would Cecilia’s situation not be extremely perilous?"
"If they make a move, no one in the Sword Sect can rival them. Would Cecilia not fall right into their hands?" ƒrēewebnovel.com
The Silver Willow Dynasty and the Ancient Ash Clan were birds of a feather.
Now that the Sword Sect and Silver Willow were locked in a fight to the bitter end, those nine Divine Heir Imperial Ancestors would never let this go.
They would definitely break through the Sword Sect’s mountain gate, snatch Cecilia away, and offer this Innate Dao Body to the Ancient Ash Clan.
The Sword Sect Master also fell silent, after a long while, he spoke slowly, his tone heavy. "Little friend Adam, this is due to my Sword Sect’s incompetence in being unable to fully protect the Sword Heir."
"However, rest assured. This Daoist naturally has a way to resolve this situation."
"I wonder what brilliant strategy Senior Sect Master has in mind? If my assistance is needed, please do not hesitate to ask."
The Sword Sect Master let out a hearty laugh, his sword robes billowing in the wind. "Speaking of which, this old Daoist really does have one matter that requires your help, little friend."
Taking a deep look at Adam, the Sword Sect Master offered a respectful bow and requested, "Little friend Adam, despite your young age, your strength is comparable to a Divine Heir Imperial Ancestor."
"After this old Daoist perishes, I hope little friend can look after the Sword Sect. Once the Sword Heir rises to power, you may leave freely."
Adam’s expression changed drastically, full of astonishment. "Senior Sect Master’s cultivation has reached the pinnacle of creation! Aside from those nine Divine Heir Imperial Ancestors, who in all of the Silver Willow dynasty could possibly be your match? How could you perish?"
The Sword Sect Master looked completely serene as he explained, "In the short term, the Ancient Ash Clan cannot pose a threat to the Sword Sect, so we can still guarantee the Sword Heir’s safety."
"It is solely this Silver Willow Dynasty that poses the greatest threat."
"In half a month, the Immortal Burial Ancient Tomb will definitely descend. Those nine Divine Heir Imperial Ancestors will absolutely enter it."
