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. As a prominent descendant of the Jiang Clan, Jiang Fuyao was acutely aware of her role in the political machinations of the clans. Marriages were often used to soli
The might of the lotus storm was too overwhelming. The peak-stage Divine Transformation realm expert, despite his strength, found himself ensnared in its lethal embrace. There was no chance to muster a defense or orchestrate an escape. The spatial storm that raged within the lotus tore at his essence, rending flesh and spirit with merciless ferocity.His screams of torment echoed through the rapidly disintegrating void. Each cry was a desperate, futile plea for salvation that would never come. Gradually, the horrifying sounds of his suffering began to fade, eclipsed by the relentless roar of the spatial tempest. Soon, even the echoes of his anguish were swallowed by the void, leaving only silence.The group of experts felt a chill run down their spines. They knew instantly that retreat was their only option. The sheer power that had just been demonstrated was beyond anything they had anticipated. They had heard the legends, but witnessing the might of Immortal Jiang firsthand was an e
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
In the midst of this chaos, Bei Yanyan turned swiftly. Without a moment's hesitation, she stepped forward, moving towards the most vulnerable point of the broken formation. Her movements were fluid and precise. As she reached the breach, she joined forces with the elders of the Shu Clan, their combined efforts creating a formidable front against the encroaching enemies.Not far behind, Immortal Jiang surged into action. 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. Despite the fierce combat unfolding around them, Shu Liang and several other esteemed elders remained steadfast at their posts. Their primary duty was to safeguard Shu Nantian and the numerous Shu Clan members who lacked the strength to join the fray. The elders formed a protective circle, their expressions grim but resolute, ready to def
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. Adam, who had been absent for so long, had finally come back to them.Shu Nantian's gaze shifted to Immortal Jiang, standing nearby. Shu Nantian couldn't help but remark, his voice tinged with admiration, "You are right again."Immortal Jiang met his eyes, his own expression composed but pleased. He had foreseen t
Not far from their location, Immortal Kong and Immortal Yan, along with several others, directed their gazes toward Adam, their faces twisted into expressions of severe displeasure and hostility. The tension in the air was palpable, growing thicker with every passing moment. Just then, an overwhelming and terrifying aura erupted, blanketing the area in an oppressive wave of energy that sent a collective shiver down everyone's spines.As the crowd struggled to comprehend the source of this sinister presence, their eyes widened in shock. Out of nowhere, a group of figures began to materialize, emerging from thin air with an almost ethereal quality. These newcomers exuded power and menace, their very presence dominating the scene. Each individual in this formidable group possessed cultivation bases at the Immortal Transformation level, marking them as beings of extraordinary power and capability.Their sudden appearance created a ripple of realization among the onlookers. The reason for
Adam spotted Immortal Jiang in the distance and immediately greeted him with a warm smile. "Senior Jiang," he said respectfully, bowing his head slightly. Although Adam's cultivation base now far exceeded that of Immortal Jiang, he maintained a profound respect for him and continued to address him as "senior."Immortal Jiang returned the smile, his eyes twinkling with a mixture of pride and nostalgia. "Adam," he began, "I still believe that you..." He trailed off, glancing at the scene before them. When the ten immortals had knelt before Adam, Immortal Jiang understood that everything had reached its rightful conclusion. The ten immortals' gesture of submission was a powerful testament to Adam's unparalleled prowess.Adam, the young prodigy of this world, stood there, exuding an aura of unmatched brilliance. His return was not just a comeback; it was a triumphant reentry into the world, marked by the acknowledgment and reverence of even the most esteemed immortals. Immortal Jiang
