Free Web NovelChapter 61: Chapter 61
Adam weighed the pros and cons, unsure if it was worth taking such a massive risk, or if he should wait and return once his strength had grown further.
However, his cultivation had already reached Great Grandmaster Peak. His overall combat prowess far exceeded the Great Grandmaster realm and was much stronger than the vast majority of Mortal Supremes.
With his current strength, the only way to achieve a qualitative leap was to comprehend Dao Laws and truly become a Mortal Supreme himself.
Only then would his strength see a massive boost.
But in this Dharma-Ending Age, Adam had no confidence that he could comprehend Dao Laws and break through to the Mortal Supreme realm in a short time.
After hesitating for a long while, Adam let out a faint sigh.
Whatever. I will take the gamble this one time!
If he truly failed, he could only leave Maren to fate. Regardless, he would not have the ability to attempt another rescue anytime soon.
A flash of absolute resolve passed through his eyes. In a blur of motion, he soared into the air and dashed straight into the Heavenly Prison.
Inside the Heavenly Prison, it was dark and damp, and a wave of rotting stench assaulted the nose.
It was the dead of night, and the prisoners had all fallen into deep slumber. Adam, dressed in night clothes, circulated his Aura Concealment Technique to its absolute limit.
His figure moved like a ghost, rapidly weaving through the Heavenly Prison, heading straight toward Maren Veil’s cell.
In a certain cell of the Silver Willow Heavenly Prison.
The four walls were entirely built from complete blocks of Dragon-Severing Stone, and the cell gates were forged from Millennium Meteoric Iron.
The surroundings were heavily enclosed. Only a small, gridded window allowed a sliver of sunlight to seep in, bringing a tiny trace of light to this gloomy dungeon.
Maren’s aura was sluggish. Her hair was somewhat disheveled, and her clothes were stained with blood. Looking like a walking corpse, she sat on a mat of withered grass, leaning against the corner of the wall. Her eyes were filled with emptiness and despair.
Only when she looked at the blue-robed figure standing outside the iron-grated door did a trace of hatred appear in her gaze.
"Miss Maren, you should just disclose the location of that secret realm. This way, you can suffer a bit less."
"Rest assured, the Sword Sect Master has already guaranteed your life using the Sword Sect’s centuries of foundation. Our Silver Willow Imperial Family will not burn the bridge after crossing the river."
Outside the iron-grated door, the blue-robed Amos wore a face full of coldness.
Over these past few days, no matter what cruel tortures he used, Maren adamantly refused to reveal even the slightest bit of information about that secret realm.
Unfortunately, the Silver Willow Imperial Family had issued a strict order forbidding him from taking her life.
Otherwise, if he used the Heavenly Thunder Torture and subjected her to the torment of myriad thunder tribulations, he did not believe she would keep her mouth shut, no matter how tough her bones were.
But the Heavenly Thunder Torture was far too brutal. Given this girl’s mere Innate Realm cultivation, the slightest lack of control could easily cause her to die and her Dao to vanish.
Over these past few days, there had been no progress in interrogating her about Raiden Veil’s secret realm. fгeewebnovёl.com
Since the hard way was not working, Amos could only try the soft approach.
Maren’s originally lifeless eyes suddenly filled with fury. She glared at Amos with a ferocious expression and spat lightly.
"Pah! My Veil Manor has been fiercely loyal to the Silver Willow Imperial Family for a millennium, yet who would have thought we would end up with our entire clan exterminated! To think they actually still want my Veil Manor’s ancestral secret realm. It is simply a fool’s dream!"
"If you have the ability, kill me with a single palm strike. Otherwise, the day I escape this Heavenly Prison, I will definitely uproot the entire Silver Willow Imperial Family clan!"
Facing the thick threat in Maren’s words, Amos smiled contemptuously.
"Escape?"
Scanning the impregnable, fortress-like prison cell, Amos continued. "This Cell No. 1 of the Heaven Block is the most secure place in the entire Silver Willow Heavenly Prison."

"Before you, ten prisoners were held in this cell. Which of them was not a founding ancestor of a sect? But no matter what heaven-reaching methods they possessed, did they not all eventually turn into dry bones, dying of old age in this Heavenly Prison?"
"You are merely a lowly cultivator at the Innate Realm, yet you actually still dream of escaping one day!"
Watching Maren’s ashen face, Amos continued his coaxing. "Little girl, if you guard this secret realm with your life, you will only be trapped in this cell for the rest of your days, eventually turning into a pile of dry bones. You can forget about revenge in this lifetime."
"Miss Maren, your Veil Manor has suffered such an unjust wrong, and you bear such a sea of blood enmity. Can you really just watch yourself wither and die here? Do you not want to avenge your Veil Manor relatives who died so tragically?"
"Think about the tragic deaths of your father, your grandfather, and all your Veil clansmen. As long as you tell me the information regarding that secret realm, I will release you immediately."
"As long as the green hills remain, there will be no shortage of firewood."
"With your aptitude, when the Sixth Heaven and Earth Upheaval arrives, it is not entirely impossible for you to find an opportunity."
"When that time comes, uprooting the Silver Willow Imperial Family might not be an impossibility."
Amos’s words lingered in Maren’s heart like maggots attached to bone. A sliver of wavering appeared in her mind.
Although the Veil Manor had declined, it was still a renowned clan in the capital. Maren naturally recognized the Millennium Meteoric Iron and the Dragon-Severing Stone.
Millennium Meteoric Iron was a rare treasure of the world, incomparably precious.
If even a sliver of it was mixed into an ordinary sword, it would instantly become extremely sharp, like a divine weapon.
