Chapter 399 (Inspiration Capsule Extra - )

"Then I still have to thank you, Young Master, for finding so many secret realms!" Cecilia smiled radiantly, over this period, Adam had found countless secret realms, and the two of them felt like they were clearing game stages, passing one after another, their strength continuously improved.

"It’s nothing, as long as our strength improves, next, we need to make a trip to the Central Continent, we’ve been away from the secular world for too long, it’s time to get an understanding of the current situation!"

Currently, his organization was still developing, so Adam still had to personally investigate outside intelligence, but it would be soon, once Sevan broke through to the Fifth Heaven of the Deity Realm, they would have a proper expert and could start spreading across various regions to form a dark web of intelligence.

However, Adam actually had a bolder idea, directly seizing an existing intelligence organization in the Mysterious Yellow Great World and having his own overlay its network right on top, but on second thought, any organization whose headquarters he could find definitely would not be powerful, expending that effort would not yield much result.

As for the truly powerful intelligence organizations, with his current strength, it was impossible to find their headquarters, therefore, Adam let it go, better to develop steadily and safely.

The time he spent in the various secret realms added up to nearly three weeks, by his estimates, in about ten days, that group would be able to come out of seclusion, given the terrifying constitutions of the Gongsun tribe, once they fully developed, they would absolutely scare a massive crowd to death.

However, he did not know how the standoff between the Book Saint and the Heavenly Court was going, had the Book Saint exposed the Heavenly Court’s deeds yet? What countermeasures would the Heavenly Court take?

But thinking about it would not bring clarity, Adam and Cecilia left the secret realm and arrived in the Central Continent.

The Central Continent remained as stable as before, whether because of the Heavenly Court’s previous deployment or not, the Demon race’s offensive had weakened significantly, and the Eastern Continent had recovered much lost territory.

The Central Continent naturally went without saying, they had even begun to counterattack, seizing quite a bit of Demon territory.

As for the Demon race, it seemed their bloodlust had been beaten out of them, they started playing defensively, no longer attacking, and preserving military strength.

This was inconsistent with the Demon race’s previous habits, in the past, regardless of how many troops or how strong the enemy was, they would just charge up and fight head-on, after all, if they died, their comrades could devour them to become even stronger, dying was practically the same as not dying, they never retreated, they just lowered their heads and fought fiercely.

However, judging from recent battle reports, the Demon race had been retreating continuously, showing faint signs of falling back to defend their home base.

This caused many military strategists to predict that the Demon race’s war reserves were running low, forcing them onto the defensive out of necessity.

Sitting in a teahouse, Adam listened to the crowd’s discussions and slowly took a sip of tea.

He had a premonition that this might be the Book Saint’s doing, could it be that after arriving in the Central Continent, the Book Saint went to Demon race territory? Indeed, with his strength, aside from the Heavenly Court, there was probably no place in the Mysterious Yellow Great World that could stop him, a trip to the Demon race was no big deal.

Adam still felt sad, his cultivation speed was still too slow, he was only at the Seventh Heaven of the Deity Realm, and his influence on this world was minuscule.

If he were a Saint right now, he could play a significant role, this world was just too realistic, unlike novels where the protagonist could always change the world regardless of actual strength.

"Young Master, I’m back!" A disguised Cecilia walked in from outside and sat next to Adam.

"How did the investigation go?"

"Next month, a major event is happening in the Central Continent, it’s known as the Heavenly Origin Festival, the grandest festival aside from the Spring Festival!"

"It happens once every nine years and is extremely grand, any Emperor with a name and title will go to the number one divine mountain to participate in sacrifices, praying for their empires to last for a myriad of generations!"

Cecilia spoke quickly, but her words were very clear.

"That divine mountain is called Mount Dragonpeak, the highest mountain in the Central Continent, it was given this name because it looks exactly like a divine dragon breaking free of its shackles, about to soar through the heavens and earth!"

"Aside from those Emperors, an enormous number of people will go to pray for blessings or spectate this grand event that only happens once every nine years!"

"Young Master, at that time, the entire Central Continent’s attention will be focused on this, it is indeed a great opportunity!" Cecilia mused, resting her chin in her hand.

Adam nodded, the reason the Book Saint had not exposed the Heavenly Court immediately was probably that he too was waiting for an opportunity where information could spread at lightning speed.

This Heavenly Origin Festival was a perfect opportunity.

But would the Heavenly Court not anticipate this? What if they set an ambush? What if they decided to go all out and harvested everyone present? The Central Continent would fall into complete chaos, making it extremely easy for the Heavenly Court to harvest Source.

What decision would the Book Saint make? Adam knew he would have thought of this as well.

"Let’s go, we depart for Mount Dragonpeak!"

Although there was still time before the festival, and it was uncertain whether the Book Saint and the Heavenly Court would appear, Adam had a premonition.

With such a massive grand ceremony, it was impossible for the Book Saint and the Heavenly Court to do nothing.

If the Heavenly Court wanted to maintain their prestige, this ceremony would be an excellent opportunity to leave a good impression in the hearts of the people, even if the Book Saint exposed them later, many would likely still stand on the Heavenly Court’s side and refuse to believe his words.

As for the Book Saint, even if he did not expose them this time, he would likely take action to restrict the Heavenly Court’s movements.
