Chapter 450

Shaking his head helplessly, brilliant light materialized in both of his hands.

As a Saint, he should have been high above the rest, yet here he was being led around by a mere woman, it truly left one not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Adam watched with great relish from the side, he knew the Book Saint’s temper and understood Aria’s persistence.

Although the little interlude made the atmosphere somewhat subtle, it also added a bit of amusement.

Aria cast a cold glance at the Book Saint, as if warning him not to renege on his promise.

The Book Saint could only sigh helplessly, he knew he couldn’t escape those three days, still, this was a promise he had made himself, and he had to honor it.

As the light in his hands flickered, the massive stone gate slowly opened, revealing a mysterious space, its contents could not be seen clearly.

A pitch black realm, though deep within, there seemed to be a faint glimmer of light, not quite distinct.

This was the legendary Ancient Holy Spirit Land, a place rumored to contain endless treasures and opportunities.

Seeing this, everyone collected their minds and prepared to enter.

Anticipatory light flickered in the eyes of Cassius, Crimson, and the others, they knew what lay ahead would be an unknown adventure, a journey that could alter their destiny.

Adam stood quietly to the side, his heart equally brimming with anticipation.

The more mysterious a place was, the more likely it was to trigger his system’s God-Tier comprehension, perhaps yielding unexpected benefits.

However, the Book Saint’s brows furrowed, this secret realm seemed slightly different from before.

"Everyone wait a moment, this secret realm seems a bit different."

Everyone looked at him in confusion, none of them had ever been here, only the Book Saint knew the situation.

"This is different from when I last came, although I don’t sense danger, I can’t put my finger on what’s changed, you can reconsider whether you still want to go in." He frowned.

Although he desperately wanted someone to advance to the Saint Realm, life was far more important, rashly entering an unfamiliar environment carried risks.

The crowd’s expressions shifted as they pondered.

"I’ll go in!"

Adam spoke up first, something inside this secret realm was constantly pulling at his attention, backed by his Omniscience of All Things, he trusted his intuition implicitly.

"Since Alchemist Adam has decided, I’ll follow." Aria expressed her support without hesitation.

Cassius and Crimson exchanged glances and nodded, this might be their best opportunity.

Once the war began, events would become unpredictable, whether they could even survive was up in the air.

Since the Book Saint said there shouldn’t be danger, it should be mostly fine, and since Adam had decided, they were willing to follow.

"We’re the same!"

The others nodded along.

"Very well, since everyone has decided, let’s go together." The Book Saint said no more, he continued gathering power and prepared to send everyone in.

As light flashed, the crowd vanished, teleported into the Ancient Holy Spirit Land.

Watching the figures disappear, the Book Saint prayed for their luck, then he closed the stone gate, set up barriers, concealed the formations, and departed, with war impending, he had much to do.

After entering, the group’s vision blurred, they found themselves in a completely unfamiliar environment.

All around was void, entirely engulfed in pitch black darkness, as if placed in a universe devoid of starlight, with only tiny specks gleaming far away.

Adam narrowed his eyes, spiritual energy surging around his body, the others did the same.

Right then, the distant starlight suddenly flared, slowly flying toward everyone.

Seven streaks of starlight appeared, one before each person.

"Everyone, it seems our luck is good, we’ve won the recognition of the ancient Saints, let’s separate and seek our own opportunities!" Adam spoke up.

Each streak represented the will of a Saint who had once cultivated here, they needed to integrate into these streaks, experiencing the path to Sainthood of those ancient Saints and comprehending their Saintly intent.

This was precisely why Adam had been unwilling to come, doing this carried a high probability of walking someone else’s path, whereas going deeper into the Saint Realm required forging one’s own, only by walking one’s own path could one aspire to be crowned an Emperor.

Imitating others might make one stronger, but it would lower one’s upper limit, Adam was a man of ambition, and his target was the supreme peak, he would never abandon his goal for the sake of merely entering the Saint Realm.

Everyone nodded, without hesitation, they stepped into the starlight.

The Book Saint had detailed the pros and cons, and they had considered carefully, their remaining lifespans weren’t abundant, having failed to enter the Saint Realm for so long, their aptitude had reached its limit, there was no need to dwell on that ultimate goal, because it was impossible.

With war imminent, elevating one’s strength was paramount.

Furthermore, observing someone else’s path didn’t necessarily mean being influenced, as long as one’s footing was deep enough, one could still carve out their own path, the Book Saint himself had been here before.

Yet he hadn’t been influenced, he walked his own path, as a powerhouse of the Human race, he had traveled immensely far down this path of Sainthood, standing on equal footing with Erlang Shen of the Heavenly Court.

In the hearts of some, he was a figure capable of challenging that ultimate goal.

The figures of Cassius, Aria, and the others slowly vanished into the starlight.

Meanwhile, Adam waved away the starlight before him, he had no need for it, his fortuitous opportunity lay elsewhere.

Surveying the pitch black space around him, Adam decided to look around first, since Senior Book Saint had stated that the aura inside had gone wrong, something must indeed be amiss here, he needed to investigate, and perhaps track down the source of that faint, lingering intuition in his heart.
