"I’m afraid even in his dreams, he wouldn’t have thought that his daughter would ultimately step onto the path of cultivation and be sensed by the clan’s life tablet."
A flash of anger crossed Silas Ash’s eyes. Fifteen years ago, Alister had escaped a calamity from his hands, causing him to be punished by the Imperial Clan, nearly costing him his life.
Even though he personally captured Alister and brought him back in the end, the Innate Dao Body that the Imperial Clan desired most was never found.
Now that the Innate Dao Body had reappeared, as long as he could find it and offer it to the Imperial Clan, he would likely be able to regain their trust.
Hearing Silas confirm it personally, the elders in the hall could no longer sit still and spoke up one after another.
"Patriarch, then what are we waiting for?! Fifteen years ago, if it weren’t for that sinner’s branch offending the Imperial Clan, our Ancient Ash Clan would have almost been exterminated by them."
"Fortunately, it was you, Patriarch, who took action to suppress the former patriarch and the sinner’s branch, avoiding the danger of our family’s annihilation."
"Yes, Patriarch, what is there to hesitate about? As long as we offer that Innate Dao Body to the Imperial Clan, our Ancient Ash Clan will soar to the heavens. It might even be possible to recreate the golden age of our ancestors!"
"Exactly, Patriarch. Exchanging a mere disciple of the sinner’s branch for a thousand years of prosperity for our Ancient Ash Clan is definitely the most worthwhile deal under heaven."
"Silence."
Silas snorted lightly. Like the ringing of a massive bell, the entire grand hall instantly quieted down.
"I know. Naturally, we must bring that remnant back, but that remnant is located in the secular world."
"If a Heaven and Earth Deity were to enter the secular world, I’m afraid they would be immediately discovered by the Adjudicator Divine Envoy."
"Not to mention, in White Emperor City on the shores of the Eastern Sea, Old Monster Seth stands guard, forbidding anyone at or above the Deity realm from stepping into the Eastern Continent."
Hearing Silas’s words, the elders finally calmed down.
That was right.
With Old Monster Seth standing guard on the shores of the Eastern Sea, how many Deities would dare step into the Eastern Continent?
Furthermore, rumor had it that Old Monster Seth was the reincarnation of a major figure from the Heavenly Court. Even the Imperial Clan might not dare to violate his taboos.
"Right, Patriarch. That remnant is definitely in the Eastern Continent. Although Heaven and Earth Deities are not permitted to enter the secular world of the Eastern Continent, we can dispatch our clan’s disciples to go in."
"Although the Eastern Continent is vast, our Ancient Ash Clan has no shortage of disciples. As long as we spend some time, we will definitely find her."
"Seventh Elder, what you’re saying isn’t right!"
Just as the Seventh Elder finished speaking, the Third Elder retorted. "The Eastern Continent is vast and unsuitable for cultivation. If the clan’s disciples spend too much time searching, it will definitely delay their cultivation."
"With the Sixth Heaven and Earth Upheaval approaching, these disciples must enter the world to compete for resources with the disciples of the other major ancient clans."
"If our disciples’ cultivation is delayed, how can they contend with the disciples of the other ancient clans in this Upheaval?"
"Befriending the Imperial Clan is certainly important, but we equally cannot abandon the upcoming Heaven and Earth Upheaval!"
This...
Hearing the Third Elder’s words, the Seventh Elder did not know what to say, and the entire grand hall fell into silence once again. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Silas Ash sat on the Patriarch’s throne, silently watching everything unfold. His primary goal in summoning these elders was to have the clan’s disciples enter the mortal world to find this Innate Dao Body.
Seeing that the time was ripe, he spoke up. "Elders, you each hold valid points, but I forgot to mention one thing."
"Fifteen years ago, I requested the Adjudicator Divine Envoy to capture Alister in the Vast Azure Region."
"I deduce that the remnant of the sinner’s branch was highly likely hidden by Alister in the secular world within the Vast Azure Region."
Hearing this, the eyes of every elder present lit up. The territory of the Vast Azure Region was not small, but compared to the massive Eastern Continent, the scope was significantly narrowed.
The difficulty of the search would be reduced by an unimaginable degree.
The time the clan disciples would have to spend would be greatly decreased, and it would not significantly impact their struggle for opportunities in the upcoming Upheaval.
In order to curry favor with the Imperial Clan, this little bit of risk was completely worth taking.
"Rest assured, Patriarch. We will go back right now and order the disciples of our respective branches to enter the Vast Azure Region to find that remnant."
The elders did not hesitate at all. They immediately got up and went back to dispatch their clan disciples to head to the Vast Azure Region and search for that Innate Dao Body.

After strictly warning Cecilia and eating breakfast, Adam went to Inkwood Academy for duty.
Along the way, those Law Enforcement runners were still violently kicking open the doors of commoners’ homes one by one, seizing all their chickens and ducks.
On the streets of the capital, raggedly dressed and starving people collapsed everywhere on both sides of the road.
It was hard to imagine that this was the capital of a nation, the wealthiest and most prosperous place in all of Silver Willow.
In the current Silver Willow dynasty, when the upper beam is not straight, the lower ones go aslant.
Those corrupt petty officials and minor clerks continuously extorted the people’s wealth, turning all of Silver Willow dynasty into a foul swamp where the populace lived in utter destitution.
If Oswin could truly overthrow this Silver Willow dynasty, perhaps he could give the commoners of the world a way to survive.
Who could say for sure.
Watching these scenes unfold on the streets, a hint of expectation actually rose in Adam’s heart, hoping that Oswin would succeed. fгeewebnovёl.com
Suppressing his distracting thoughts, Adam arrived at Inkwood Academy and started a new day of work.
Picking up a historical record from his desk, Adam began to browse through it.
