If one’s luck was poor, they could even beco a complete cripple.
This was a major taboo in cultivation. Many peerless Heaven’s Chosen, in pursuit of a perfect realm, would rather spend vast amounts of ti refining their foundation than choose the path of self-severing their cultivation.
Once the Origin was damaged, the path of the Great Dao was practically severed. Unless treated with Dao dicine, there was almost zero possibility of recovery.
Silas also knew this action was too perilous, so he quietly watched the elders think, waiting for their final decision.
After a long silence, the Thirteenth Elder finally spoke up, breaking the heavy atmosphere.
"Patriarch, I am willing to self-sever my cultivation and drop below the Deity Realm to ensure the safe return of the Innate Dao Body without fail."
Seeing the Thirteenth Elder agree, Silas was overjoyed. Just as he was about to give his consent, soone suddenly rushed in from outside the door.
"Patriarch, bad news! The Third Young Master’s Soul Lamp has extinguished!"
"What did you say? Lowell’s Soul Lamp has extinguished?"
A Soul Lamp was lit using a person’s innate soul. Silas knew better than anyone what it ant when a Soul Lamp went out.
His face turned incredibly ugly. Although Lowell was the number one figure of the younger generation, there were still a few others in the clan who were only slightly inferior.
If he died, he died.
To the Ancient Ash Clan as a whole, it was not a devastating loss.
But the Innate Dao Body was different. That concerned the rise and fall of the entire clan.
He had not hesitated to ask an elder to risk damaging their Origin and self-sever their cultivation, all for the sake of ensuring absolute safety.
He never expected that, despite all his careful calculations, an unforeseen disaster would still occur.
"Speak quickly! How did the Soul Lamp extinguish?"
Silas flew into a thunderous rage, losing every bit of his usual graceful deanor. His eyes were filled with hostility as he roared at the guard kneeling below the jade steps.
"Patriarch, the Third Young Master’s Soul Lamp was originally burning very brightly, but all of a sudden, it dimd extrely quickly, and after rely a mont, it was completely extinguished."
Dimd extrely quickly all of a sudden. Could it be that a peerless powerhouse in the secular world made a move?
A Soul Lamp was connected to a person’s life soul. Normally, the more tenacious one’s vitality, the brighter the Soul Lamp would burn.
For it to dim so drastically in an instant ant Lowell must have suffered a devastating blow in an extrely short period of ti, reaching the point where his soul lamp extinguished.
Lowell was a Heaven’s Chosen of the clan. Although he was a Great Grandmaster, his combat prowess far exceeded that realm.
To cause him such severe trauma in so short a ti, Silas could only imagine it was the doing of a peerless powerhouse in the secular world.
After pondering for a mont, Silas imdiately ordered toward the outside of the hall. "n! Quickly order the Mystic Bird Guards to rush to the Silver Willow Dynasty to investigate this matter and search for traces of the Innate Dao Body."
After giving the order, Silas turned his gaze back to the Thirteenth Elder. "Thirteenth Elder, an unforeseen event has occurred regarding the Innate Dao Body. This matter brooks no delay."
"I must ask the Thirteenth Elder to imdiately self-sever your cultivation. After resting for a few days, head to the secular Silver Willow Dynasty at once. You must absolutely bring the Innate Dao Body back to the Void Secret Realm."
The Thirteenth Elder also realized the thorny nature of this matter.
Although Lowell was only a Heaven’s Chosen of the younger generation, his techniques were incredibly arcane, and he was a Great Grandmaster with combat prowess far exceeding his peers.
Such an existence, looking at the entire Silver Willow Dynasty, even if not invincible, would rarely et a match, unless a peerless powerhouse struck.
It was currently the Dharma-Ending Age, and the Dao Laws of heaven and earth were hidden.
For soone to achieve the Dao in the secular world was incredibly difficult. Those true peerless powerhouses who managed to Enter the Dao in such an environnt were all great talents of cultivation. Their combat prowess would far exceed ordinary imagination.
Figures like that were absolutely not sothing the Mystic Bird Guards could handle.
Only soone like himself, who had self-severed from the Deity Realm, could completely suppress them.
To ensure nothing went wrong, the Thirteenth Elder imdiately agreed. "Please rest assured, Patriarch. This old man will definitely bring this Innate Dao Body back from the Silver Willow Dynasty."
...
Adam returned to the Vernal Manor, placed Cecilia back on her bed, covered her with a quilt, and then closed the door and quietly left.
Returning to his own room, he thought about how he had rescued Cecilia from the hands of those two ancient clan mbers and destroyed all traces, ensuring no one could suspect him.
He had done everything perfectly, but a trace of worry lingered in his eyes.
Although those two ancient clan youths had been slain by his sword in a single strike, he did not underestimate them in the slightest.
It was only because he possessed several supre ultimate techniques that his combat prowess was so terrifying.
Otherwise, with the strength of those two youths, as long as a Mortal Supre did not appear in Silver Willow, they could practically sweep across the entire nation.
For the Ancient Ash Clan to nurture such powerful Heaven’s Chosen, how terrifying must their true strength be? What kind of heaven-reaching power must the elders and ancestors of this clan possess?
The matter concerning Cecilia had caused a massive uproar within the Silver Willow Imperial Family and could not be covered up.
If the elders of the Ancient Ash Clan investigated, they would eventually trace it back to him.
Although they had no evidence to prove he was the one who did it, it would ultimately bring unnecessary trouble.
Furthermore, just in case, Cecilia could no longer stay in the Vernal Manor indefinitely. He had to find a place to properly settle her.
