A trace of solemnity flashed in Maren’s eyes, and she said earnestly, "Young Master Adam, to possess such incredible alchemy skills yet not reveal them to the world, you must certainly have unspeakable difficulties."

"Enlightenment Pills are extremely precious. This young lady shouldn’t have asked for one, but I share a deep blood feud with the Silver Willow Imperial Family."

"This pill is extremely important to me. It will allow me to step into the Mortal Supreme realm sooner."

"Please rest assured, Young Master Adam. I swear an oath to the heavens with my divine soul: if I leak your secret, may my path of the Great Dao be forever unable to advance a single step."

Adam had not expected Maren to swear such a venomous oath. Fortunately, this secret realm isolated them from heaven and earth, so this kind of oath would not take effect here.

However, Maren’s cultivation was low, so she did not know the profound secrets of this realm. This was enough for Adam to see her sincerity.

After handing an Enlightenment Pill to Maren, the two did not linger and prepared to leave.

Phoenix-Roost Mountain Peak.

Eunuch Aldyn and Eunuch Maldric stood at the summit, their eyes filled with solemnity.

Looking at the churning sea of clouds against the cliff, Eunuch Aldyn reminded his companion. "Old Maldric, the Old Emperor has already allied with several Imperial Ancestors to head to the Sword Sect and seize the Innate Dao Body."

"With their strength, plus the Thirteenth Elder of the Ancient Ash Clan assisting them, no matter how heaven-reaching the Sword Sect Master is, he will definitely not be their match."

"The Innate Dao Body is already in the bag, and His Majesty’s lifespan crisis will be resolved soon. But we still cannot let our guard down!"

"Have you made the proper arrangements for this operation?"

Eunuch Maldric, usually unsmiling, looked at the churning sea of clouds with a grave expression.

"Old Aldyn, rest assured. To be cautious, I have ordered the Chief of the Night Watch Bureau to tightly surround Phoenix-Roost Mountain."

"Even if we slip up, those two won’t escape even if they sprout wings. With the mere Innate realm strength of that Veil family remnant, escaping from our hands is harder than ascending to heaven."

Just as they were talking, the sea of clouds by the cliff scattered in all directions, and a spatial door began to emerge in mid-air.

...

"This is..."

Within the Medicine Immortal Secret Realm, Adam sensed two Mortal Supreme auras outside the realm, and his expression turned ugly.

Those two auras belonged to mere Comprehending the Dao existences. He could obliterate them with a wave of his hand.

What made his expression ugly was that despite his utmost caution, these two had still found this place.

Could it be that Maren’s whereabouts had been leaked?

Adam executed Omniscience of All Things and looked at Maren.

He finally discovered the clue. Within her body, an ancient, lusterless talisman was floating around her dantian.

The talisman was utterly inconspicuous, but Adam did not dare underestimate it.

Ever since he cultivated the Three Thousand Great Dream Dao Scripture, his divine soul had become extremely powerful, his divine sense reaching microscopic precision.

Within a few hundred meters, he could detect even an ant shaking its leg.

Yet ever since rescuing Maren from the Heavenly Prison, he had not sensed this Dao Talisman in her dantian at all. If not for Omniscience of All Things, he likely still would not have detected it.

With a light tap on Maren’s shoulder, her body instantly went limp, falling into deep sleep.

Although he had exposed his alchemy skills in front of Maren, that was a move of last resort. As for his cultivation level, it was best to keep it hidden if possible.

Furthermore, the Dao Talisman inside her body was a ticking time bomb that had to be removed.

Adam executed profound methods to force the Dao Talisman out of Maren’s body step by step.

As soon as it left her, the talisman instantly radiated golden light, broke free from his technique, and transformed into a streak of flowing light, attempting to escape the secret realm.

Adam was severely shocked.

The Medicine Immortal Secret Realm isolated them from the Mysterious Yellow heaven and earth. Just what kind of secret treasure was this Dao Talisman that it could still connect with the outside world?

Want to leave? A cold glint flashed in his eyes. He flicked his long sleeve.

The cuff billowed, and a powerful devouring force surged out. The cuff expanded massively, growing hundreds of times larger, enhancing the devouring force hundreds of times over.

The terrifying, boundless pull felt as if it could swallow the entire world.

Under this force, the golden light of the Dao Talisman gradually dimmed. Unable to break free, it was sucked into Adam’s sleeve.

The Primordial Heavenly Demon Ranking contained the biographies of thirty-six Heavenly Demons.

Over the past few days, Adam had comprehended several Great Divine Abilities from it, and what he displayed today was one of them.

This Great Divine Ability was called Universe in a Sleeve.

The ranking recorded that its divine might was unfathomable. If cultivated to perfection, it could encompass a piece of heaven and earth into the sleeve.

Adam’s realm was too low, and he was currently just dabbling in it, but it was enough to capture this Dao Talisman.

Taking the talisman out and examining it in his hand, a cold sneer appeared on Adam’s lips.

Just as he suspected, someone had attached a wisp of divine intent to this Dao Talisman, allowing them to monitor Maren’s movements at all times.

Transforming his divine intent into a blade, Adam used the power of his divine soul to sever the divine intent attached to the talisman, then stored it in his Divine Sea to suppress it.

The fact that this Dao Talisman was unaffected by the secret realm’s isolation... although Adam could not discern its exact nature, based on this point alone, he could conclude that it was definitely a heavy treasure.
