Chapter 1071 -1071: Loosening of the Seal
Just as Ethan Smith guessed, Obadiah Heptinstall relied on some form of medium to carry that force.
Obadiah Heptinstall waited a long time, but Ethan Smith and Crane did not leave the Second Secret Realm.
This meant Obadiah Heptinstall had no way to reclaim that power, so he had to think of a way to deceive Ethan Smith into coming out!
Dominic Taylor remained silent, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.
They had sparred with Crane last time, and despite only exchanging one palm strike, the difference in their skills was apparent.
Even until today, Dominic Taylor still had a lingering fear.
“What, are you afraid of him, Ethan Smith?” Obadiah Heptinstall saw this and added fuel to the fire.
Dominic Taylor snorted lightly, “I’m not afraid of him, but there is a Martial Saint by his side, who is not easy to deal with.”
Obadiah Heptinstall laughed heartily, “Don’t worry, if you challenge Ethan Smith, he wouldn’t be unfair and gang up on you.”
Dominic Taylor remained silent, but he was still uncertain in his heart.
Ethan Smith had killed Luke Fraley, who was in the Peak Form of Martial Saint!
He even had a showdown with the high-ranking members behind the scenes – Dominic Taylor was not confident enough to deal with such power.
“I will give you the secret technique of the Immortal Slaying Sect, guaranteeing your victory against him and making your name renown across the world!” Obadiah Heptinstall said solemnly.
Dominic Taylor snorted coldly, “I don’t lack secret techniques.”
“Don’t lack? Can the secret techniques in your hands compare with those of the Immortal Slaying Sect? That was the most mysterious sect thousands of years ago! A sect where powerhouses were born!”Obadiah Heptinstall’s tone was somewhat proud.
“This is an opportunity for you. If I could reach the Martial Saint Realm, I wouldn’t come bothering you.”
Dominic Taylor pondered for a moment, then his eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice, “Alright, I agree.”
Obadiah Heptinstall secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
He was finally duped.
…
On the other hand, Ethan Smith and Crane guarded the Second Secret Realm.
They spent two days searching for the entrance from the Second Secret Realm to the Paramount Mystic Realm, but unfortunately, they found nothing.
Not only that, it seemed there was no treasure in the Second Secret Realm.
“That’s impossible. How could the famous Second Secret Realm be so impoverished?” Ethan Smith said quietly, rubbing his chin.
“Could Luke Fraley have hidden the treasure in advance? Or transferred it to the Paramount Mystic Realm?”
Crane, standing at his side, said, “We should wait for Star, he might know something.”
These past few days, Star had been staying in front of Luke Fraley’s grave, with no one bothering him.
Meanwhile, Ethan Smith waited patiently for him to come down from the mountain.
For Ethan Smith, he was a bit anxious.
Firstly, he wanted to see Emily Taylor as soon as possible. Secondly, he was wary of the high-ranking members of the Paramount Mystic Realm, who like a sharp blade, could descend upon him at any time.
If he couldn’t improve his strength quickly, it would be difficult to deal with the real bodies of the high-ranking members in the Paramount Mystic Realm.
While the two were chatting, Star had already descended from the mountain.
Ethan Smith, with his heightened senses, felt Star’s presence immediately.
Star stood up and said coldly, “Then you can try.”
“Buzz!”
Suddenly, a vision unfolded behind Crane!
Under this vision, even Star felt some pressure.
“Enough,” Ethan Smith stepped between the two, preventing a major battle.
“Star, we indeed need to know about the passage. I believe you know something,” Ethan Smith looked into Star’s eyes and said.
Now that Luke Fraley was dead, there was no point for Star to be stubborn.
He was silent for a moment, then said quietly, “I do know.”
Crane retracted his vision and waited for Star to continue.
Star said in a solemn voice, “Although I have never been to the Paramount Mystic Realm, I know the higher-ups would occasionally descend to the Second Secret Realm.”
“But anything related to the Paramount Mystic Realm is treated with extreme caution. The passage is rumored to be the path to cultivation.”
“What do you mean?” Ethan Smith asked.
Star looked up at Ethan Smith and said, “That passage blocks the cultivation of martial artists, blocks the opportunity for cultivation.”
“Not to even mention stepping into the mighty realm cultivator state, even achieving Martial Saint is impossible.”
Ethan Smith frowned slightly and said, “I have indeed heard about that, but it’s strange that this year there have been a lot of martial artists stepping into the realm of Martial Saint.”
Star said solemnly, “There is only one possibility, the seal that blocks cultivation, has weakened.”
“They predicted multiple times that someone would step into the Martial Saint Realm. This prediction was not a foresight from the Dao, but they knew in advance that this seal would weaken this year.”
