"What? You are actually not from an ancient clan?"
Seeing Adam nod, Lowell completely lost his bearing. Muttering from the corners of his mouth, he fell into a state of madness.
Lowell never thought that the heaven-defying genius who defeated him so effortlessly would actually come from the secular world he so deeply despised.
He had been famous since his youth.
Although his Dao Heart had collapsed a few years ago after being defeated by a disciple of the Imperial Clan, that was the Imperial Clan.
They had reigned supreme over the entire Eastern Continent for several Heaven and Earth Upheavals. Even an ordinary disciple from their ranks was far beyond what anyone else could compare to.
But the person before him hailed from the secular world. This was something Lowell found absolutely impossible to accept.
The secular world was utterly devoid of resources and possessed scarcely any profound cultivation techniques. How could such a barren land nurture a Heaven’s Chosen like this?
A genius of this caliber would be a rare sight not only among all the ancient clans of the Eastern Continent but even within the supreme Imperial Clan itself, or so Lowell guessed.
Adam remained entirely unmoved by the frantic panic written across Lowell’s face. Raising his hand and pointing a finger, a fierce streak of Innate Sword Qi shot out from his fingertip, completely annihilating Lowell’s body and erasing his existence from heaven and earth. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Having disposed of Lowell, Adam used a Flash Step and instantly appeared before Cecilia.
Having witnessed the massive battle and seeing his Third Brother die so tragically, Vorin’s heart was filled with terror. Seeing Adam suddenly appear before him, his face turned deathly pale. freewebnøvel.com
"You... if you come any closer, I will kill this girl!"
Vorin grabbed the deeply unconscious Cecilia, preparing to use her to threaten Adam.
A flash of coldness crossed Adam’s eyes.
With a casual wave of his hand, a streak of sword qi directly severed this ancient clan disciple’s head.
"Too much nonsense. If you had killed Cecilia during the battle just now, you might have managed mutual destruction."
"A mere Grandmaster, actually thinking he could kill a hostage within meters of a Great Grandmaster. It is simply harder than ascending to the heavens."
After eliminating the second ancient clan disciple, Adam used his Innate Sword Qi to obliterate the corpse as well.
After ensuring no traces were left behind, he picked up Cecilia and quietly departed.
...
Supreme Void Secret Realm, Ancient Ash Clan, Heavenly Pivot Hall.
Hearty laughter continuously echoed through the Heavenly Pivot Hall, refusing to dissipate for a long time.
With a face full of smiles, Silas spoke to the numerous clan elders gathered in the hall.
"Elders, I just received a message jade slip from that child Lowell. He has found the Innate Dao Body in the Silver Willow Dynasty of the Vast Azure Region."
"Right now, Lowell is bringing the Innate Dao Body and preparing to return from Silver Willow."
The news Silas announced instantly caused the previously quiet hall to boil over. The elders began offering their congratulations one after another.
"Patriarch, is what you are saying true? That child Lowell really found the Innate Dao Body?"
"Hahahaha! The heavens truly bless my Ash Clan! In this era, our Ancient Ash Clan will definitely rise to great prosperity!"
"Exactly! As long as we offer this Innate Dao Body to the Imperial Clan, the Ash Clan will leap to become the absolute top ancient clan in the Eastern Continent."
"I truly never expected the Ancient Ash Clan would re-enter its golden age while in my hands. Even if my Dao perishes in the future, I will face our ancestors in the Yellow Springs with pride."
"Silence. Elders, please suppress the joy in your hearts for now. There is still one important matter that must be completed."
Silas was truly worthy of being a formidable leader of his generation. Even in the face of such heaven-shaking joy, he did not lose composure and quickly calmed down.
"Patriarch, speak. What exactly is this important matter?" an elder asked.
Silas swept his gaze across the numerous elders, his face turning solemn. "Everyone, the matter of the Innate Dao Body is of the utmost importance. It concerns the rise and fall of our clan. We cannot afford a single mistake."
"Silver Willow Dynasty is too far from our Ash Clan. It is hard to guarantee there will not be accidents along the way. If other ancient clans discover this, they will inevitably try to sabotage us."
"To ensure absolute safety, I suggest we dispatch someone from the clan to escort them back."
Silas’s worries were not unfounded, the numerous elders present nodded in agreement.
"The Patriarch is absolutely right. This concerns our rise and fall, and we cannot tolerate the slightest negligence."
"We indeed should dispatch clansmen to escort them."
An elder voiced his agreement.
"Patriarch, in my opinion, how about we dispatch the clan’s Mystic Bird Guards to receive them?" another elder suggested.
"The Sixth Elder is correct. Every single one of the Mystic Bird Guards is a Mortal Supreme existence. Placed in the secular world, they are an invincible force."
"They can absolutely protect the Innate Dao Body and return safely."
An elder in a purple robe stepped forward to support the proposal.
Hearing these suggestions, Silas shook his head. Clearly, their proposals did not meet his requirements.
"Elders, the Mystic Bird Guards are indeed all Mortal Supremes. However, our Supreme Void Mystic Realm is ultimately just a small world. The restrictions of heaven and earth here are far inferior to the great world outside."
"If the Mystic Bird Guards go to the outside world, their strength will be heavily discounted. This is not appropriate."
Silas rejected their suggestions.
"Then what does the Patriarch have in mind?"
"In my opinion, to ensure absolutely nothing goes wrong, one person in this hall must self-sever their cultivation and drop below the Deity Realm. Only then can we guarantee absolute safety."
Drop below the Deity Realm!
Hearing Silas’s proposal, the elders all fell silent. The entire grand hall instantly plunged into a heavy, solemn atmosphere.
Self-severing one’s cultivation was no child’s play.
The slightest carelessness would damage one’s Origin.
