Chapter 493

"Not bad, you passed." Hearing Adam’s praise, even though it was just a simple not bad, a brilliant smile bloomed on Bruce’s face, that smile was as radiant as the sunshine, dispelling all his previous fatigue and tension, his eyes sparkled with excitement, as if at this very moment, he saw a future filled with hope and light.

He ran excitedly over to Adam, stopped, and gripped his spear tightly with both hands, his body trembled slightly, clearly from inner excitement and nervousness.

"Immortal Master, I did it, I really did it." Bruce’s voice carried a hint of a tremble, but it was mostly filled with joy and pride, he looked up at Adam, eyes full of anticipation and reverence.

Adam smiled and nodded, eyes filled with appreciation, he reached out and gently patted Bruce’s shoulder. "Yes, you did it, you are a brave and clever child, I am very happy to become your master."

A glimmer of tears flashed in Bruce’s eyes, he knelt before Adam, kowtowed three times, and said, "Thank you, Master, I will cultivate hard and live up to your expectations."

Adam helped Bruce up. "Good. I believe in you, from today onward, you are my disciple, however, the days ahead will still be difficult, are you ready?"

"Master, I am ready." Bruce nodded heavily. Having made it this far, giving up was impossible.

"Then let’s go, there is something I need you to do." Adam smiled.

With a wave of his hand, the two vanished from the spot.

...

Heaven-Sealing Pass.

Inside the massive structure under construction, a young man as radiant as jade appeared, bringing along a dark-skinned, heavily scarred youth.

"This is where you will cultivate from now on, it’s called Heaven-Sealing Pass." Adam smiled as he explained.

"You could also say it’s the place closest to the Evil God."

Hearing those words, Bruce’s gaze sharpened instantly.

"Master, is this place used to defend against the Evil God?" Seeing soldiers bustling back and forth, Bruce formed a guess.

"That’s right, we are building a pass here to fight the Heavenly Court and the Evil God, you came at just the right time, after I guide you into cultivation, I have a very important mission for you." Adam smiled.

Bruce was taken aback, he had just arrived and already had a mission?

"Yes, Master, rest assured, I will complete it." He wouldn’t refuse, as long as it was his master’s order, he would accomplish it.

"Good, but no rush, follow me first." Adam nodded, this kid’s awareness was quite high.

Which technique should I give him? Adam pondered.

I’ve got it.

Heavenly Origin Undying Technique.

This technique surfaced in Adam’s mind, it was said that during the first heaven and earth upheaval, a Saint rose from humble beginnings, originally a nobody, he never gave up, just like an unkillable cockroach, through countless fortuitous encounters and fierce competitions, he survived and achieved the supreme Saint position.

The method he practiced was the Heavenly Origin Imperishable Technique.

As for who created it, even Adam didn’t know, he had comprehended it directly, and what he saw was merely that Saint’s past.

The Heavenly Origin Imperishable Technique was not just a cultivation technique but a precious tome containing universal truths and endless mysteries, it was divided into nine realms, each corresponding to a supreme law of heaven and earth, practitioners must first perceive the Dao of Heaven and Earth, then gradually comprehend the profoundness within.

According to legend, when that Saint cultivated to the final realm, his body and soul merged with the universe, reaching a truly imperishable state, he could manipulate heaven and earth, destroying stars with a wave of his hand and crossing the universe with a single step.

Of course, these were exaggerated words, but they illustrated how formidable he was.

After comprehending the technique, Adam felt its boundless profundity, most importantly, it suited this kid who wasn’t afraid of death and loved putting his life on the line.

...

Inside a newly constructed building, Adam stood quietly by the window, gazing at the busy workers and the massive structure standing tall, protecting the land behind it.

But at this moment, he was not in a good mood, he turned, his gaze falling on the dark-skinned youth.

Bruce had his eyes tightly closed, forehead covered in sweat.

Three days, a full three days, even under Adam’s guidance, Bruce hadn’t reached the entry level of the Heavenly Origin Undying Technique, there wasn’t the slightest sign.

This was true even with the pill Adam gave him, which had only raised his body’s upper limit, there was no way to elevate innate comprehension.

"Master, am I too stupid?" Bruce opened his eyes, filled with self-blame and disappointment, three days and nights without grasping the basics. He felt incredibly frustrated.

Adam shook his head gently, walked to Bruce’s side, and patted his shoulder. "No, cultivation emphasizes comprehension and perseverance, your comprehension isn’t high, but it isn’t bad either, your perseverance and determination are the firmest I have ever seen, as long as you persist, you will comprehend it."

He was telling the truth, mastering such a profound technique in three days was too much to ask, he had a system for instant mastery, Cecilia had the Innate Dao Body and grasped techniques quickly, comparing their speed to Bruce’s was unfair.

Bruce looked up at Adam, resolve flashing in his eyes, he couldn’t give up, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and continued cultivating.

Watching Bruce, Adam sighed, the path was filled with hardships, but he believed that with persistence, Bruce would one day become a true powerhouse.

Night fell, Heaven-Sealing Pass was brightly lit as workers and soldiers rushed construction day and night.

Adam sat by the window, pondering how to help Bruce improve his comprehension, simple cultivation and pills were not enough, special fortuitous encounters and enlightenment were also needed, although given enough time, Bruce would eventually reach the Deity Realm, but time was exactly what they lacked the most right now.
