Chapter 1492 -1492: Comprehending the Technique
Nowadays, the Cloud Sect was controlled solely by the First Elder.
The Cultivation Mountain was shrouded in heavy fog; no one could storm to the top, nor could they meet the Sect Master. Therefore, everyone had to follow the First Elder’s orders.
The First Elder squinted slightly and sneered, “Let’s hope Ethan Smith loses to Kasen Dennis. That way, we won’t have to make a move ourselves…”
“First Elder, are you really planning to orchestrate things in secret?” the Deputy Sect Master asked with a frown.
The First Elder shot him a glance and said coldly, “What, do you have an objection?”
The Deputy Sect Master, though displeased at heart, dared not speak against him. “I wouldn’t dare.”
With a snort, the First Elder immediately began arranging personnel.
The Cloud Sect had countless experts. Under the First Elder’s guidance, they decided to hide within the Void and strike at an opportune moment.
“Make sure to conceal your identities; no one must know this is the work of the Cloud Sect,” the First Elder said sternly.
After mulling it over, the First Elder decided they should wear black robes and disguise themselves as people from the North Plain.
At a time like this, no one would suspect them.
…
Meanwhile, Ethan Smith was continuing to absorb the Nascent Soul Pills at a steady pace.
The last ten pills, he threw directly into his mouth, then activated his cultivation method, letting the energy circulate slowly within him.
There was only one day left before his match with Kasen Dennis.
That day, Clay Freeman and Alfred Freeman tiptoed into the cultivation room.
Seeing Ethan Smith cultivating in seclusion, they whispered to each other, “This guy is really hardcore, sitting here day after day without getting bored.”
“Exactly. With all this time, wouldn’t it be better to have some wine and chase women?” Alfred Freeman muttered mysteriously.
“What are you two doing here? Don’t tell me you want to start cultivating too?”
At that moment, Salena Carpenter entered the cultivation room.
The two grinned sheepishly and said, “Aunt Salena, how could you say that? We don’t have what it takes.”
Salena Carpenter rolled her eyes and said, “Then don’t bother Ethan Smith. If he fails to emerge from seclusion tomorrow, it will be such a disgrace.”
“We won’t bother him, we promise! We’ll just sit here and watch!” Clay Freeman saluted earnestly.
Standing to the side, Alfred Freeman muttered softly, “Aunt Salena, there’s only one day left—will it be enough?”
“Exactly. Kasen Dennis is Eternal’s pupil. I can’t shake the feeling that this might be one of Eternal’s schemes,” Clay Freeman said gravely.
Salena Carpenter looked at Clay Freeman in slight surprise and said, “Well, you’re sharper than you look.”
“Don’t underestimate me; I may not like cultivation, but I’m actually really smart,” Clay Freeman bragged.
Salena Carpenter stroked her chin thoughtfully and said in a low voice, “Honestly, I suspect so too. But without evidence, I can’t say for sure. That Eternal—he’s likely planning something big soon.”
The North Plain’s invasion had undoubtedly given Eternal an opportunity.
In the entire Southern Province, aside from the Cloud Sect, Eternal hardly faced any competitors.
Ken Middleton was stationed at the border, while Gregory Hum and Salena Carpenter were uninterested in the politics of the Southern Province. That left Eternal, who was secretly expanding and poised to betray at any moment.
“Lady Salena.”
At that moment, two junior disciples from Nexinton Mountain walked in.
Salena Carpenter turned to them and said, “What have you found?”
The two replied solemnly, “From what we’ve gathered, Kasen Dennis has been in secluded cultivation with Eternal these past few days. It seems Eternal is teaching him new techniques.”
Salena Carpenter’s expression darkened instantly.
She glanced at Ethan Smith, who kept his eyes closed, and muttered, “Looks like I’ll need to teach this kid a few techniques myself. Let’s hope there’s still enough time.”
“Oh, forget it! Let’s go grab some drinks!” Clay Freeman tugged at Salena Carpenter’s arm.
Salena Carpenter shook her head and said, “You go ahead. I’m staying here to guard Ethan Smith.”
Time was tight; Salena Carpenter didn’t dare delay.
Clay Freeman and Alfred Freeman, understanding her intent, quietly took their leave.
Minute by minute, time ticked away. Salena Carpenter stood by, waiting patiently.
For someone as restless as Salena Carpenter, the waiting was agonizing.
*She closed her eyes, trying to steady her breathing, but ultimately couldn’t take it anymore.*
“This is just too damn boring!” Salena Carpenter cursed under her breath.
She glanced at Ethan Smith and muttered softly, “This kid likely won’t emerge anytime soon. I’ll go have a quick drink and come back later.”
With that, Salena Carpenter bolted out the door.
She hadn’t been gone long when Ethan Smith, seated quietly in the cultivation room, suddenly opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of stale air.
For an instant, his body was enveloped in Golden Light, radiating brilliantly in the darkness.
And as he opened his eyes, a sharp gleam shot forth!
Spiritual energy surged around him in that moment. Like a gentle breeze, it rustled through the surrounding bamboo forest.
Ethan Smith slowly stood up and clenched his fist lightly, sensing the power within his body.
“A hundred Nascent Soul Pills…and I still couldn’t reach the Mighty Realm.” Ethan Smith couldn’t help but feel slightly disappointed.
*For someone with his unique physique, the balance of yin and yang was extremely critical.*
*The increase brought by large amounts of spiritual energy was minimal. It was unsurprising he hadn’t broken through to the Mighty Realm.*
“Though I didn’t step into the Mighty Realm, my spiritual power has recovered to peak condition. Defeating Kasen Dennis shouldn’t be a problem,” Ethan Smith mused.
Kasen Dennis may have been Eternal’s pupil, equipped with countless techniques, but Ethan Smith had the Guardian behind him.
Eternal’s might paled before the Guardian.
Thinking of this, Ethan Smith couldn’t help but chuckle coldly.
*Strike decisively and swiftly to establish dominance—it’s the perfect opportunity to make my mark.*
…
At the pavilion.
Salena Carpenter had gotten carried away while drinking, completely forgetting about Ethan Smith.
“Come on, now! You lost again—fill my cup!” Salena Carpenter exclaimed excitedly.
At that moment, Ethan Smith arrived from a short distance away.
Seeing him, Salena Carpenter waved her hand and shouted, “Perfect timing! Come here and join me for a drink!”
Ethan Smith couldn’t help but laugh helplessly at the sight.
Nearby, Clay Freeman softly reminded her, “Aunt Salena, weren’t you planning to teach Ethan Smith some techniques?”
Salena Carpenter froze, then slapped her forehead with force, muttering, “Damn, I forgot the important stuff!”
Without further ado, Salena Carpenter stood up, grabbed Ethan Smith, and said, “Come on, let’s head to the cultivation room.”
Ethan Smith looked surprised and asked, “Why the cultivation room?”
Salena Carpenter whispered, “I heard Eternal has been teaching Kasen Dennis his techniques—I’ve gotta teach you a couple of mine.”
Ethan Smith shook his head and said, “No need. I can defeat him easily.”
Salena Carpenter glared and said, “No way! You have to beat him using my techniques, got it?”
Ethan Smith looked baffled, seemingly at a loss.
Salena Carpenter explained quietly, “Your battle with Kasen Dennis has already caused quite a stir. Everyone knows about your connection to me, and they all know about Kasen Dennis’s tie to Eternal. So, to the outside world, your fight is essentially a proxy duel between me and Eternal.”
With that, Salena Carpenter glared and added, “You have to win. I’ll teach you the most advanced techniques I have. Whether you can grasp them or not is up to you.”
