Chapter 600
The Heavenly Domain had sounded like a distant legend before. Something to chase someday. But now that Adam knew the truth and understood the power tied to the Ninefold Griffin Amulets, he saw the reality. It was out of reach. Not because he lacked courage, but because the people holding those pieces were monsters in human form.Even if he found all nine locations, claiming them would require strength he simply did not have yet.Even if he pushed the Eternal Rebirth Codex to its first transformation and stepped into the Divine Realm, he would only stand among late-stage divine grandmasters. That might put him near the top of the world, but far from the pinnacle. The major sects weren’t built on lone geniuses. They were built on armies of cultivators, hidden elders, forbidden arts, foundations stretching back centuries.If he had reached the second transformation, that would be different. That would make him untouchable. But wishing for power did not bring it.Bruce broke the silence.

He leaned closer. The moment he saw the edges, he recognized it. He had seen something like this before. The two pieces Dracula had stolen were smaller parts of this exact design. Now that he saw Bruce’s piece, it clicked into place. The two stolen fragments had once formed half of this same amulet.And if those two were halves of one piece… then Bruce was holding another.Three pieces. Three out of nine.Bruce nodded slowly, shutting the box halfway, as if the air itself might steal the amulet from his hand. “There are nine pieces of the Ninefold Griffin Amulet. Together, they hide the path to the Heavenly Domain.”Adam’s head snapped up. “The Heavenly Domain? What even is that supposed to be?”He knew the rumors. The tales. The exaggerated nonsense storytellers used to trick children into training harder. But Bruce wasn’t speaking like a man reciting myths. His tone held weight. Real weight.Bruce’s voice dropped. “The Heavenly Domain is a paradise where cultivators can shed mortali

He watched Bruce’s face with the focus of a blade. For a split second, Bruce’s calm cracked. Surprise, then something close to fear, flashed across his eyes before he forced them steady again.Adam leaned forward. “Mr. Sanders, you look like a man who already knows the story. How did my mentor get poisoned? And why was he cast out of the Sanders family?”His fists tightened. The room felt smaller. The grief he had held down ever since Xander died threatened to break through. Xander had saved his life more times than he could count. Losing him was one thing. Not knowing why was worse.He had come to Cosmic Island for the auction. But beneath that, he came here for answers.Bruce straightened, but there was a thin layer of panic under his expression. He tried to hide it, but he failed.“Xander poisoned himself,” Bruce said. “He used to experiment with herbs and pills in his youth. He took risks. It caught up to him. As for his expulsion, that is a confidential matter within the Sanders
Chapter 597
At the Sanders Mansion, the dining room looked like someone had emptied a royal treasury onto the table. Silver platters, steaming dishes, rare ingredients, the whole spread. Bruce had gone all out for Adam. Harvey lifted a crystal glass filled with a faint blue liquid that glimmered under the lights. “Adam, this is my father’s prized Icy Silk Wine. He guards it like a dragon. I’ve never even smelled it before. But tonight, I get a taste because of you.” He took a sip and closed his eyes like it was heaven. Renee leaned forward and added more food to Adam’s plate. “Eat more. You look thin.” She looked mid-thirties at most, smooth skin, sharp figure, but she was Leah and Harvey’s mother. Time had treated her well. “Mr. and Mrs. Sanders, thank you. Really,” Adam said. His voice slipped for a second. The warmth in the room hit him harder than the wine. “We’re a family. Don’t thank us,” Bruce said, smiling without putting on an act. “This is your home now.” Renee nodded. “Bruce is r

Francis’ worry eased slightly at the masked man’s words. The reassurance gave him a fleeting sense of relief — fleeting, because even if Xander Sanders was dead, his shadow still lingered through his disciple.“Alright,” Francis muttered after a long pause, his voice low and cold. “But there’s another matter. Even if Xander is gone, his disciple remains. We can’t allow him to grow any stronger. We need to deal with him before he becomes a problem.”The masked man leaned back in his chair, arms crossed beneath his dark robes. His tone was dismissive. “He’s just a youngster. There’s nothing to fear. You’re overthinking this.”Francis frowned, his eyes flashing. “Don’t underestimate him,” he said sharply. “You didn’t see what I saw. He easily defeated my son, Maverick, without breaking a sweat. His talent is terrifying. In ten years—or perhaps even sooner—he could reach the Divine Realm.”That caught the masked man’s attention. His body stiffened ever so slightly, the only sign that Fran
Chapter 595
Adam’s eyes darkened with sorrow at the mention of Xander Sanders, the man who had been more than just a mentor to him—he had been family. The faint ache that flickered across Adam’s face didn’t go unnoticed by Leah, though she kept silent, sensing the weight behind that look.“Yes,” Bruce declared, his deep voice echoing across the courtyard like a rolling storm. “He is my future son-in-law. And anyone who dares to harm him—” his gaze swept over the crowd like a blade “—will answer to me personally!”A suffocating pressure rippled outward, forcing several onlookers to lower their heads instinctively. Even Francis, a divine grandmaster, felt the invisible force pressing against his chest. Bruce Sanders in full authority was not someone anyone dared to provoke.Francis’s eyes narrowed, his pride smarting, but he didn’t dare challenge Bruce head-on. Instead, he turned to Adam, his tone cold. “Where is your mentor now?”Adam’s expression didn’t waver, though his heart tightened. “He’s li
