Chapter 72
The Misty Ghost Forest was filled with the Qi of Death. To the Dao Laws of Creation, this was no less than an immortal herb.
If it could be devoured, the Qi of Death within his body would rapidly grow stronger.
However, while it was an immortal herb for the Dao Laws of Creation, for Adam himself, it was no less than a death warrant.
The Dao of Creation valued balance above all else.
If the Qi of Death in his body became excessive and the balance was lost, Adam would age rapidly.
Although it would not lead to immediate death, his physical body and appearance would become exactly like that of a dying old man.
A decaying body was fundamentally detrimental to cultivation. Therefore, even though he had long discovered that the Qi of Death here was dense to the extreme, he never thought about devouring it, solely out of fear of losing the balance between life and death qi.
Now that the Dao Laws of Creation inside him were acting up again, could it be that deep within the Misty Ghost Forest, there was also a dense concentration of the Qi of Life?
Adam made a bold deduction. Looking into the depths of the forest, his heart began to stir with an itch for action.
Since he had already comprehended the Dao Laws of Creation, the Misty Ghost Forest could not devour the Qi of Life within him, so he was not particularly worried about his own safety.
However, Oswin was not as fortunate. He did not have much Qi of Life to begin with, and if he continued deeper, the rate at which his life force drained would intensify several-fold, and he would soon exhaust his lifespan.
Setting his thoughts aside, Adam lifted Oswin, soared into the air, and soon arrived outside the Misty Ghost Forest.
Placing Oswin in a safe location, Adam instructed him. "Oswin, this is the northern side of the Misty Ghost Forest., the Silver Willow Trap Camp is on the southern side, so this area is very safe."
"I have urgent matters to attend to and cannot escort you further, you should depart on your own."
With that, Adam soared into the air and returned to the Misty Ghost Forest.
Oswin watched his retreating back with gratitude, suddenly, a flicker of doubt crossed his mind.
How did my benefactor know my name was Oswin? Did I reveal my name to him?
Filled with confusion, Oswin quickly distanced himself from the forest and hurried toward the location of the rebel army.
Inside the Misty Ghost Forest, the deeper Adam went, the more severe the disturbance from the Dao Laws of Creation within him became, as if something deep within the ghost forest were attracting it.
If he had not been utilizing profound arts to suppress the Dao Laws of Creation, he feared they would have erupted out of his body.
Flying at full speed for several tens of miles, Adam finally came to a halt.
"This is... spiritual... spiritual medicine!"
A trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes. Before him were sparsely scattered spiritual herbs.
Their grade was very low, by no means rare items, in Silver Willow, such herbs could be seen everywhere.
However, the Misty Ghost Forest was filled with the Qi of Death. Let alone spiritual herbs, even a Mortal Supreme with profound cultivation would find their lifespan exhausted if they stayed too long.
In such a land of absolute death, there should fundamentally be no vitality. Why were these mere Grade 1 spiritual herbs not only surviving in the forest but actually growing robustly?
Carrying his confusion, Adam continued deeper.
Since the appearance of the herbs, the further he ventured, the more frequent they became with every stretch of distance, and the higher their quality grew.
However, Adam was not moved by them. Although their quality was decent and they would cause a sensation in the capital, he was now a Mortal Supreme.
Even if all these herbs were refined into precious pills, they would be of no help to his current strength.
Adam continued onward. At this point, the stems of the herbs were as thick as a small arm and reached a height of about nine inches.
Passing through a dense garden of spiritual herbs, Adam was blocked by an invisible barrier.
It felt as if there were some taboo ahead. No matter what methods he employed, he could not break through this invisible barrier.
Fortunately, Adam possessed quick wit. When all methods proved futile, he immediately thought of the Dao Laws of Creation.
Executing them, the invisible barrier proved to be like an ownerless object, allowing him to pass through at will.
Crossing the barrier, he finally arrived at the destination. Looking at the scene before him, Adam was instantly stunned into stillness.
Before him was a primeval ancient forest. Massive, cloud-piercing trees stood tall, several tens of meters wide, their roots intertwined like giant pythons.
Among the roots, several massive centipedes scurried back and forth. Their carapaces were pitch-black, emitting a dark sheen, and their limbs were as sharp as divine weapons.
Above the primeval forest, two giant eagle-demons circled, their wings spanning wide enough to blot out the sun, exuding waves of terrifying momentum.
I never expected that hidden within the Misty Ghost Forest was such a massive primeval forest.
If I had not comprehended the Dao Laws of Creation, I fear I would never have been able to break into this place.
A trace of horror flashed in Adam’s eyes, and he immediately used his Aura Concealment Technique to hide his internal aura.
Just a casual glance earlier had shown him demonic creatures that were terrifying. The momentum they exuded was not a whit weaker than a Mortal Supreme’s.
Even with his current strength, dealing with them would require paying a considerable price.
Since he had arrived in a strange place, it was better to be cautious.
Who knew what other ancient demonic creatures were lurking in this primeval forest?
Although astonished by the primeval forest, Adam knew this was not the fundamental cause of the disturbance in his Dao Laws of Creation.
He used his Aura Concealment Technique and followed the guidance of the Dao Laws of Creation to continue forward. Finally, he halted at the center of the primeval forest.
