"As a member of the Shu Clan," Shu Meiyin explained, "I am only allowed to enter the Celestial Sanctuary twice in my life. I've already used one of those opportunities when I trained to break through to the Divine Transformation Realm. The elders grant this privilege sparingly to ensure that our clan members don't become overly reliant on the sanctuary and neglect their own inner growth and external challenges. I’ve always known that my second entry would need to be a strategic decision, used at the most critical juncture in my cultivation journey."

Adam was taken aback by this revelation. "So you have one chance left. That’s a heavy decision."

Shu Meiyin nodded thoughtfully before continuing, “Another reason for this restriction is to ensure that the sanctuary's energy remains undiminished, allowing each clan member who enters to receive its full benefits. The Celestial Sanctuary is a finite resource, and the Shu Clan must manage it wisely to maintain its potency for generations to c

Adam's task was to revive it, to breathe life back into its shattered remains and restore its former glory.After they parted ways, Adam set out on his journey, his destination the distant planet where the ruins of the Tiandi Sect lay. But as he journeyed through space, his sensors detected a strange energy signature emanating from a nearby planet. It piqued his curiosity, and he decided to investigate.As Adam broke through the upper layers of the planet's atmosphere, he peered out at an alien world that was unlike any he had seen before. The landscape was stark and lifeless, stretching out in every direction like an endless desert. There were no plants, no animals, not even a hint of water. The ground was covered in a fine, gray dust that swirled into

    Adam hesitated, torn between the desire for greater power and the fear of losing everything he had gained. The darkness within the energy source continued to grow, its grip on Adam tightening with each passing moment. He knew that the Supreme System's warning was true, but in the end, he chose to continue, driven by his desperate desire for greater power.As the darkness consumed him, Adam's mind raced with thoughts of the consequences of his actions.

    At the same time...The Shu Clan Residence was a shadow of its former glory. Once a grand and bustling place, it now teetered on the brink of collapse. The proud history of the Shu Clan seemed a distant memory, as the very walls of their residence lay shattered and in ruins. Amidst this decay, even the mightiest member of the clan, Immortal Shu, known as Shu Nantian, was on the verge of losing his life. Shu Nantian, who had reached the peak stage of the Immortal Transformation Realm, was now facing the greatest peril he had ever encountered. His once formidable presence had waned, replaced by an aura of fragility.Inside the hall of the Shu Clan residence, the scene was somber. In the center of the hall, Shu Nantian sat cross-legged, his posture firm yet betraying his weakened state. Behind him, an ancient silhouette flickered faintly, an ethereal figure striving to infuse him with vital energy. Despite these efforts, Shu Nantian's life force was dwindling rapidly. His complexion w

    "Meiyin...!""Father, forgive me," Shu Meiyin said with determination. She turned her gaze towards a beautiful woman whose appearance was capable of bringing down the kingdom."Sister Fuyao, if there's a chance, I'll send you away from here," Shu Meiyin spoke softly, her voice filled with a mix of determination and sorrow.Jiang Fuyao smiled, a bittersweet expression on her face, and gently shook her head. She had arrived at the Shu Clan exactly three days after Adam had departed, and she was utterly astonished to find the residence besieged when she and her grandfather arrived. The once serene and majestic Shu Clan was now a scene of chaos and conflict, with cultivators clashing in a desperate struggle.Back then, her grandfather had brought her to the Shu Clan with the intention of arranging a match between her and Adam.

    Adam's question echoed in the stillness that followed the chaos of his arrival. The city, usually teeming with life and noise, seemed to hold its breath as the inhabitants took in the sight of this newcomer. Who was this stranger who appeared so abruptly, and why did he seem so urgent? Amidst the hustle and bustle, nobody had an answer for him. The usual cacophony of street vendors calling out their wares, children laughing and playing, and merchants haggling over prices seemed to fade into the background. All eyes were on Adam. They were too busy staring at him with mouths agape, completely taken aback by his sudden appearance to respond.Adam knew he couldn't afford to waste any time. He needed answers, and he needed them fast. Ignoring the stares, he said, "Do you know the direction to the Shu Clan's residence?"The group of experts froze, their conversations dying mid-sentence. A palpable tension settling over them. Rumors had been circulating for weeks about the Shu Clan's pr

His body radiated with an ethereal glow, the divine light of his deity status illuminating the battlefield. With every motion, he unleashed devastating attacks, cutting down those who had dared to breach the cracks in the formation.

    The hall of the Shu Clan was filled with a tense, expectant silence, which was abruptly broken by a collective gasp of astonishment. All eyes were drawn to the figure standing in the sky, a figure they had scarcely hoped to see again. Adam had arrived, his presence almost surreal, as if emerging from the depths of an impossible dream. Among those gathered, Shu Nantian stood out. Moments ago, his eyes had been clouded with the dullness of exhaustion. But now, they sparkled with a new light, one of hope and relief. A smile, one of genuine ease, spread across his face as he took in the sight of Adam. The tension in his shoulders eased, and he felt a wave of calm wash over him.

    The Renhuang Lamp users found themselves utterly perplexed by the unfolding events. According to their meticulously gathered intelligence, they had a comprehensive understanding of the laws Adam had mastered. Among these were several formidable abilities, but spatial laws were conspicuously absent from his repertoire. Adam was undeniably powerful, his mastery over certain elements a testament to his prowess. However, the creation of a spatial gate and the ability to traverse the void were feats that unequivocally required a profound understanding and mastery of spatial laws—something they were certain Adam lacked.As they stood there, facing Adam who had just appeared before them seemingly out of nowhere, their confusion grew deeper. The ability to create a spatial gate was not a trivial skill; it was an advanced technique reserved for those who had devoted significant time and effort to mastering the intricate laws of space.

    The visitors were all powerful Immortals from the Wu Clan, the most dominant force in the central region. Renowned for their overwhelming strength, the Wu Clan boasted numerous mid-stage to peak-stage Immortals among their ranks. Their fearsome reputation was well-deserved, as their formidable power made them nearly unstoppable.In this particular instance, the Wu Clan did not need to deploy their entire might to obliterate the Shu Clan.

    "The Wu Clan was once a formidable force," Shu Nantian began, his tone imbued with respect and a hint of trepidation. "Their power was legendary, known far and wide. However, their prominence seemed to fade after their ancestors mysteriously disappeared fifty thousand years ago. Since then, the Wu Clan had largely kept to themselves, shrouded in secrecy and isolation. It was as if they had vanished from the annals of history, becoming a mere whisper among the other great powers."He paused, allowing his words to sink in before continuing. "Then, without warning, the Wu Clan re-emerged. They did not just return quietly; they revealed a trump card that no one had anticipated. They possess an army of Immortals, a force so powerful it defies comprehension. With this newfound strength, they began to assert their dominance, aiming to rule the eastern region and claim hegemony over all. Their ambition knew no bounds; they demanded that all the various forces submit to their will."Shu Nantia

    Jiang Shuyin, her voice clear and confident, broke the tense silence. "Their territory is quite distant from here. If we wait for them to send reinforcements, it could take some time," she remarked, her words carrying both a statement of fact and a subtle challenge to the patience and strategy of those present.Adam, standing with a calm and composed demeanor that belied the tension in the air, responded thoughtfully. "These people are on the verge of death," he began, his tone steady and authoritative. "If they want to live, they will certainly convey to their reinforcements the urgency of the situation. They will spare no expense and will rush here at their greatest speed, using the teleportation array. I am confident they can achieve this."His words hung in the air, heavy with the weight of inevitability. The logic was unassailable; those in desperate straits would go to any lengths to save themselves, and the advanced means at their disposal—such as the teleportation array—would

    As the figures of Adam and Jiang Shuyin materialized at the Shu Clan, the reaction from the surrounding immortals was palpable. Immortal Wang, Immortal Kong, Immortal Yan, and several others who had been eagerly waiting for any news couldn't help but narrow their eyes in surprise. Their astonishment wasn't just due to the sheer speed of Adam's return, but also because of the presence of Jiang Shuyin at his side, the very person connected to the heart of the Jiang Clan's issues. Each Immortal found their minds racing with similar thoughts. Had Adam managed to address the troubles plaguing the Jiang Clan in such a short span of time? The astonishment in their eyes and the careful way they exchanged glances spoke volumes. Everyone, which had been filled with a tension born of unresolved conflict, now bristled with an undercurrent of curiosity and silent speculation, as the implications of Adam's swift return began to settle in."Grandpa Nantian, have you recovered from your injury?"
